Review this movie
Nov 13, 2014"Parental Guidance" 10 Scale Rating: 5.0 (Mediocre) ...
The Good: There were a few moments that I would call "cute" and I even chuckled a time or two. Billy Crystal and Bette Midler did a solid job as quirky grandparents. I enjoyed the backhanding of new age parenting somewhat ...
The Bad: ... but the state of the family involved was way too over the top, complete with children that had every issue that you can think of. The screwball grandparents didn't seem like the problem, though the film at times tried to reinforce the notion that they were. It also felt like a sitcom as opposed to a movie, complete with musical cues. I kept waiting for the laugh track to play.… Expand
Sep 3, 2014Parental Guidance is a childish and generally bland comedy about grandparents and parents and their children. Bette Midler is good--so is Marisa Tomei... but little else is.
May 24, 2014I cannot stand modern critic's hatred for family comedies. This film has plenty of laughs, emotion, and outright charm to keep a family continually coming back for more. The acting is great, the laughs are outstanding, the characters memorable, even the emotional scenes are very well done. The kids in this movie actually do a very good job. My only real criticism is that the emotional scenes are packed in rather tightly near the end, but other than that this is an outstanding family comedy, and one that I shall come back to time and time again.… Expand
Mar 19, 2014i seen parental guidance to many times . But Billy crystal's ways of grandparent skills are funny also his old school methods . sometimes this movie gets old also some parts of this movie are stupid also the end .
Jan 23, 2014Billy Crystal's main attempt at comedy is his failure to move along with a new age, and his voice. A weak script, rather disdainful and annoying acting by the cast, especially Marisa Tomei. In fact, the family just seems to be the typical case of dysfunction, thus making the film a pathetic slapstick comedy, similar to Sandler films. It's boring, weak, and overall, unfunny to a serious point.
Nov 22, 2013A really enjoyable movie. It's nice to see how the movie shows the distinctions between the previous and modern generations through quite witty comedy. It won't make you laugh out loud, but it'll keep you smiling the whole way through, save for a few excessively cheesy moments. It's story is also quite moving by implementing characters that all have a meaningful story to tell, and it makes you take a greater appreciation for your loved ones. Seriously, any movie that can do that in a positive way is worth a view, and Parental Guidance is one of them.… Expand
Oct 2, 2013Funny and heartwarming comedy about kids, parents, and grandparents. Realistic while exploring all the relationships such as mom & daughter, older mom & grown up daughter, grown up daughter with older dad, and the relationships each child has with his grandma and grandpa.
Also explores older marital situations and marital situations for current parents raising kids. Well done and most people I talk to love this movie, but the ones that do not tend to like it think heartwarming is all bull or "Hollywood". I see heartwarming things every day with my kids, this movie helps those try to find those situations in their own life.… Expand
Jul 19, 2013It's hard for me to hate on a family friendly movie with a sweet side like this one, especially when movies are getting super vulgar now days. But Parental Guidance fails to bring laughs and fails to hook you with it's emotional side. This makes the movie super boring. Add in the fact that this is aimed at families with kids of all ages and its failure makes it all the more sad. As much as it pains me to say Parental Guidance is not worth your time. You can safely pass on this one.… Expand
Jul 6, 2013It is hard to find a movie these days that one can watch and not see sex, violence, drugs or inappropriate language. Having a younger child I rented this movie for our movie night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The combination of Billy Crystal's comedian nature and real life scenarios had me laughing and comparing it to my own life. The little league game was spot on with the way they play it around the country and I feel is ridiculous. The movie was not high budget or have the action packed scenes that most people are looking for in a movie but what it did have was something more. It had a kids sense of humor built into it so the young ones would stay interested and a plot that most middle ages parents and grandparents could relate to. Yes the jokes and one liners were a bit on the childish side but that is how it was designed. This is not a movie written for mature adult audiences but for kids so keep that in mind if you plan on watching it without children around.… Expand
Jul 2, 2013la película guarda un buen mensaje pero no una buena trayectoria.
Un mensaje que se intenta sacar a los padres, y se logra sacar; el problema es la comedia
Jun 30, 2013This movie is of course a dumb comedy meant for little kids. There's really no reason to watch it, but it wasn't as horrendous as I had feared. Most of the jokes are pretty stupid and the characters can really start to grate the nerves at times. I did like how the movie showed that modern children have no discipline, and Crystal's bewilderment at someone even mentioning Facebook or twitter was somewhat amusing, but these things can't save it from predictability, blandness, and annoying characters. However, if you are forced to watch it, it won't kill you.… Expand
Jun 13, 2013Great movie for the family. It is full of humor and very heartwarming. I love that the movie was very relatable to your own family experiences as well.
May 31, 2013Has some enjoyable moments, but mostly just an ego trip for Billy Crystal's ability to make one-liners. Overall, it's forgettable and only manages to squeeze three or four laughs out of me. Not terrible, but pretty bad and one of Billy Crystal's worst movies.
Apr 28, 2013An overall refreshing family comedy, Parental Guidance is a moral-filled and hilarious tale for all ages. Billy Crystal and Bette Midler do a wonderful job as grandparents, and the children have memorable personalities. There's also many laugh-out-loud moments and some nice insight on the importance of intergenerational wisdom and remaining close to your family, no matter what the circumstances.
Discerning parents do need to know however that despite being free of any language problems or bartending scenes, Crystal and Midler still provide some mostly mild adult humor. Also, there's also a few toilet humor jokes and a few moments of mischief/obnoxiousness. Still though, its a movie parents with kids ages 7 and up will enjoy.

Apr 9, 2013I had to come to this movie mainly because my friend was going and I thought it would be a nice funny movie. It turned out to be a very predictable cheesy movie. Not good!
Mar 29, 2013This wasn't as funny as I was hoping for but it was a pretty good film to watch with the family. Billy Crystal is great, as usual, and Bette Midler does a good job in more of a supporting role. Surprisingly, especially after my last movie-watching experience, the child actors in this movie were competent bordering on pretty good. The only character who really annoyed you was Marisa Tomei's. Speaking of annoying, that was really the drawback here. Like most modern day family comedies, this movie gets a decent amount of its laughs through pure annoyance. Not as bad as say, Meet the Parents, but it still have too many annoying parts. Overall, Parental Guidance is a decent family film but I wouldn't suggest it for most people.… Expand
Mar 24, 2013The cast was terrific, especially Billy Crystal, who gave a very good performance, but with a script that is filled with mediocre jokes and predictable outcomes where everything goes wrong, Parental Guidance is mostly a generic family comedy.
Mar 23, 2013Parental Guidance starts with promising first 10 minutes but finishes as dime-a-dozen family comedy. Good, clean fun and pulling some heartstrings along the way guaranteed.
Feb 25, 2013Not only completely unfunny, Parental Guidance is repetitive, uninteresting and annoying. This new Billy Crystal family "comedy" is wrong in every sense. It´s frenetic, yet it has no rhythm. There are absolutely no gags in this "screenplay" with absolutely no structure. It´s filled with cliches; 5 minutes-in, you can guess what´s going to happen in the last scene. Basically, this film is garbage.… Expand
Feb 15, 2013Billy crystal in a crappy kids film? Seriously....... This was a really bad film. Very bad. It was not even a great kids film...... It's was garbage. The end is predictable, the kids don't make everything funny and billy crystal sucks at being a grandpa. 0/10 for me. I suggest you stay away from this film...
Jan 13, 2013OK. Fairly topica satire on rearing children. Mildly amusing movie making, more or less by the numbers, but warm hearted anyway. Flabby direction overall, with a sloppy script, only held up in the air by the usual Billy Crystal schtick. Bette Midler is not really given much to do, which is a pity, because she injects a bit of soul and energy into her role as the grandmother. The kids are pretty good, the slapstick sequences less so. Marisa Tomei doesn't make a very convincing mom, but she does appreciably better than her erstwhile husband, who simply stands around in the background channeling his own inner hubby hunkiness - at the expense of any dialogue. In short, a family movie that does not rely on computer effects or frenetic film editing - but which should probably have been a little wittier and crisper in its comic delivery. Frankly, the imaginary kangaroo created most of the laughs.… Expand
Jan 12, 2013This is a very nice family movie. Gone With The Wind it isn't but Billy and Bette get along famously. It only goes to prove that all of us have dysfunctional families and it's OK. A nice way to spend some time with the kids in the movies. Go and enjoy.
Jan 10, 2013These movies are getting duller and this movie was a waste of 100 minutes. Sadly there is no comedy and would be better if they changed the story-line. Adam Sandler would make this movie better but the cast we never knew appears in the limelight. Terrible and no fun, the Trailer can not show the real things, practically ruined Flickman's career.
Jan 10, 2013Crystal and Midler have both done great films in the past so what happened? Not much in this movie. Your typical crude in poor taste comedy, except this one is not funny either. Crystal's classic one liners over the situation around him are kept to a minimum and the life the kids have is less realistic than a cartoon. This movie plays out like a poor Adams Family sequel where the good actors were replaced by poor low paid imitators. The poopie song was kinda funny though so I bumped it up to a 3.… Expand
Jan 4, 2013From the opening scene of Billy Crystal doing his baseball radio schtick to the next scene where Bette Midler and friends are pole dancing, completely dressed, with a promise of cheesecake after, to the following scene where their daughter, Marisa Tomei, calls them reluctantly and asks them to come to their
Jan 3, 2013We went with our kids and grandkids (ages 12 & 14) to see this film and all of us liked it. It's not great art, nor does it break much new ground, but it made us all laugh. Parts of it are over the top, but there are parts that feel genuine. I had not expected to like it, but I did in spite of myself. The short scene at the end of the credits is worth waiting for.
Dec 31, 2012This movie is full of crap! It is not funny at all it is so stupid. Some parts almost made me giggle out loud but the jokes were crap. In fact, they were so crappy that they made me laugh over its stupidity. Hate this movie a lot. Don't watch it.
Dec 26, 2012Sad and stupid little movie. Billy Crystal must have naked photos of the studio execs in compromising positions. otherwise this film never gets made. I wanted to laugh but instead I was filled with a sense of loathing for Hollywood. This movie is worth seeing just to test your pain threshold. As a point of reference I also thought City Slickers was unfunny. Lighting your money on fire would be a better use of funds than investing in this garbage.… Expand
The kids are charmless, the writing is bland, and the embarrassing jokes sound like nails down a blackboard.
Parental Guidance is one of those intergenerational embarrassment comedies in the "Meet the Fockers" line, where children can enjoy seeing grown-ups looking ridiculous.
The pathos: considerable. The sight gags, involving Crystal puking chili dog on a kid's face, or the grandson with an imaginary friend peeing and causing an X Games skateboarder to wipe out: artless. The results: tolerably amusing.

Ford Tourneo Custom Concept efficiently moves eight people and their stuff
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Mar 6th, 2012 at 10:30PM
The world needs more relatively compact people movers. While those of us living in the United States are blessed with an almost limitless supply of square footage, our friends in Europe, Asia, South America and the rest of the world need machines that can haul people and their stuff while still fitting into the tight confines of urban life. Enter the Ford Tourneo Custom Concept. This eight-passenger van previews the Blue Oval's next front-wheel-drive passenger van for overseas markets (not the U.S.). A trio of 2.2-liter diesel engines put out as much as 153 horsepower along with more... Read More

2014 UNHCR regional operations profile - Northern, Western, Central and Southern Europe
| Overview |
Working environment
The 36 countries in this subregion have long traditions of refugee protection, strong legal frameworks and, for the majority of them, functioning national asylum systems. Nevertheless, different legal traditions and asylum and migration experiences shape the protection landscape of each country. Croatia, which became the 28th member-State of the European Union in July 2013, is the newest participant in the Common European Asylum System (CEAS).
The most significant development in 2013 was the adoption of amended European Union legislation on asylum and the reception of asylum-seekers. The recast statutes, which will require extensive transposition at the national level in 2014, strengthen protection standards in the region. However, discrepancies in implementation persist, leading to protection gaps in some countries and posing challenges to the functioning of the CEAS. These include challenges in the application of the Dublin III Regulation, which determines which Member State is responsible for examining an asylum application.
The trend of rising numbers of asylum applications in the region in 2011 and 2012 continued in the first half of 2013. The crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic (Syria), in particular, has increased demand for asylum throughout the region. Germany and Sweden were the most affected, with the two countries receiving more than 50 per cent of Syrian applications.
Germany was the recipient of the largest number of asylum applications overall in the region in 2013, followed by France and Sweden.
While Syrians now form the second-largest group of applicants, the biggest and still increasing group comprises people from the Russian Federation. Afghans and Serbian asylum-seekers are the third- and fourth-largest groups, respectively. Also among those seeking asylum each year are stateless people. There are currently an estimated 436,000 stateless people in the region.
Ensuring access to asylum for refugees, including at sea or land borders, remains a challenge. UNHCR calls on States to fulfil their international protection obligations when faced with irregular migration. There is little distinction in public debate between irregular migrants and refugees, and the economic crisis has also had a negative impact on the public perception of migrants. It has reduced refugees' chances of finding jobs and limited the availability of resources to build or strengthen asylum and protection systems. In this difficult operational environment, UNHCR must continue to engage governments and the institutions of the European Union to sustain access to asylum; improve the quality of asylum adjudication; promote fair and efficient asylum systems; develop and clarify legal standards; and find durable solutions, including integration, for refugees and stateless people.
| Response |
UNHCR will help governments and other partners to build and maintain fair and efficient asylum and protection systems.
To safeguard asylum space in the broader migration context, UNHCR will work to ensure that border management is more protection-sensitive. It will make every effort to see detention is only utilized as a last resort. It will also advocate for reception conditions - including for asylum-seekers with special needs, such as unaccompanied and separated children and victims of trafficking or trauma - that meet minimum international standards.
UNHCR will advocate for more resettlement places and enhanced integration capacity in resettlement countries, as well as the implementation of local-integration projects for the approximately 1.6 million refugees in the region.
To prevent and resolve situations of statelessness, the Office will continue to urge States to accede to the 1954 and 1961 Statelessness Conventions and improve mechanisms to identify stateless people.
UNHCR will support European Union policy-making processes related to people of concern and mobilize political and financial support in the region for its work worldwide.
The economic difficulties being felt throughout the region have had an impact on the ability and readiness of many countries to strengthen protection, while budgetary restrictions have affected the civil-society organizations that provide services and support to asylum-seekers and refugees. Xenophobia and related intolerance have led to incidents of discrimination and violence in some countries. Coupled with conflicts in neighbouring countries and heightened sensitivities to new influxes of asylum-seekers these concerns have, at times, led to States giving precedence to curbing irregular movement, including through tighter border control and detention and penalization for illegal entry, over their international protection obligations.
| Implementation |
UNHCR will achieve its objectives in the subregion through a multi-faceted strategy of standard-setting, advocacy and partnerships. Comments on legislation, comparative analyses and judicial engagement will allow UNHCR to contribute to the setting of legal standards at the national and regional levels. Monitoring and reporting on national practices, and comparison through multi-country studies, will facilitate gap analysis and identification of good practice. UNHCR will engage in dialogue with all levels of government and regional institutions; hold consultations with refugees, asylum-seekers and stateless people; and collaborate with civil society and new stakeholders. Country operations will build on UNHCR's Age, Gender and Diversity commitments and encourage meaningful participation of refugees in the planning and implementation of government programmes.
Safeguard asylum space in the broader migration context
UNHCR's operations in the subregion work to ensure that arrivals with protection needs are referred to the appropriate authorities. With the current scale of humanitarian crises, more arrivals in the subregion can be expected. A particular focus will be on people arriving by sea. By monitoring admission practices and building the capacityof immigrationandcoastguard officials, UNHCR will aim to avert the riskof refoulement.Border-monitoring projects will also continue in the three Baltic States, Italy and Spain as well as in Central Europe. UNHCR will organize the third International Summer School on refugee law for border guards in France in addition to cross-border cooperation meetings and events. UNHCR will work with Belgium to map practices related to the referral of victims of trafficking, and with specialized counterparts in Spain to identify trafficking victims at entry points.
Adequate reception conditions and procedures that are capable of responding to the specific needs of asylum-seekers are essential components of a quality asylum system. UNHCR will continue to work to ensure dignified reception standards, including the use of detention only as a measure of last resort.
In Cyprus and Portugal, UNHCR will provide direct support to asylum-seekers with special needs. In Malta the office will work with the Government to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of detention. Alternatives to detention will be promoted more widely, including in Belgium and all countries under the purview of the Dublin Regulation. In the United Kingdom, UNHCR will advocate for a more protection-focused approach taking account of their special needs to asylum-seekers in detention whose applications are being fast-tracked. In Finland, the findings of the 2013 Age, Gender and Diversity consultations will be implemented and participatory approaches relating to the reception system will be promoted throughout the Nordic and Baltic countries.
The specific needs of some asylum-seekers, particularly unaccompanied and separated children, will be given priority by UNHCR throughout the region. The best interest of each child will remain the primary consideration in all decisions affecting him or her, including those taken within the context of the Dublin Regulation. A UNHCR-supported drop-in centre in Patras, Greece, will be dedicated to assisting unaccompanied children who are in transit and are facing serious protection risks.
UNHCR offices in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and the United Kingdom will follow up on the Response to Vulnerability project. Standard operating procedures will be instituted in reception centres to respond to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).
Build and maintain effective asylum and protection systems
UNHCR has long sought to improve the quality of adjudication by first-instance asylum bodies in the region, and will continue to work with governments to implement quality audit mechanisms. A special emphasis will be placed on child-friendly asylum procedures, including mechanisms to determine the best interest of the child. UNHCR will advocate for more awareness of the links between trafficking and asylum, protection needs related to female genital mutilation, and the use of safe third-country or safe country of asylum concepts.
In 2013 UNHCR published Beyond Proof, a comprehensive analysis of credibility assessment in the European Union asylum system. A follow-up study on the credibility assessment in child asylum cases will be completed in 2014.
UNHCR will continue to complement the efforts of the European Asylum Support Office to improve practical cooperation among EU Member States in the building of asylum systems and improve the quality of country-of-origin information. Interpreters will be trained in Austria, the Czech Republic and other countries. UNHCR will create networks of legal practitioners and encourage improvements in legal aid, particularly in Spain and Austria. In Albania, UNHCR will provide direct legal assistance to asylum-seekers.
In 2014, UNHCR will publish a manual on case law from regional courts in Europe. It will continue to support the Conference of Refugee Law Judges in Germany and the yearly Summer School for Border Guards in Strasbourg. UNHCR will participate in the asylum adjudication process in Spain, France and Italy. In Greece, UNHCR will provide direct operational support to the authorities engaged in the reform of the asylum procedure.
To aid the transposition of the newly adopted legal standards of the CEAS, UNHCR will comment on law and share legal analysis with stakeholders at the national level, in addition to advocating for full implementation of existing legal standards. Judicial engagement and court interventions will permit UNHCR to ensure the correct application of relevant laws in refugee cases. To this end, and particularly with the operation of the Dublin Regulation in mind, UNHCR's operations will continue to make recommendations to national asylum authorities.
Increase the number of resettlement places and enhance reception and integration capacity in resettlement countries, in addition to improving local integration prospects for some 1.6 million refugees in the region
21 of the 36 countries in the subregion contribute to UNHCR's global resettlement efforts, 16 of them by operating an annual resettlement programme. Despite this, the number of resettlement places in the region is limited compared with the global number of resettlement places, with quotas and reception and integration capacity varying widely among countries. UNHCR will work to secure larger resettlement quotas and strengthen national capacities for reception and integration through the joint UNHCR-IOM-ICMC Emergency Resettlement Project, which is funded by the European Union. The project promotes good practice through its dedicated website and is helping build a resettlement practitioners' network.
Special attention will be devoted to resettlement and humanitarian admission of Syrian refugees in 2014. UNHCR will continue to manage the emergency transit centres in Timisoara (Romania) and Humenne (Slovakia). The centres host refugees eligible for resettlement who are in urgent need of evacuation to a safe place where their resettlement procedures can be finalized.
The local integration of refugees and others with protection status is central to effective asylum systems. UNHCR's operations will raise awareness of the particular challenges to integration faced by refugees, as highlighted in the research carried out in selected countries in 2013 under the EU-funded Refugee Integration: Capacity and Evaluation project. The integration evaluation tool, the use of which was piloted in Central Europe, will help governments to assess the quality of their integration programmes and identify gaps.
To aid integration, UNHCR will promote good practices in relation to labour market integration, housing and the building of social and professional networks. Awareness campaigns will highlight the particular problems of young people.
Prevent and resolve situations of statelessness
UNHCR will use the opportunity provided by the 60th anniversary of the 1954 Statelessness Convention in 2014 to advocate for accession to the Statelessness Conventions in the 16 countries of the region that have yet to sign. Studies have been undertaken in 12 countries and in particular in Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in order to fully assess the scope of statelessness issues and gaps in the protection of stateless people. The absence of statelessness determination procedures in most countries has been identified as one particular gap that needs to be filled. In countries where procedures are in place, such as France, Hungary, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, UNHCR will work with the authorities to improve quality of decision making. Related efforts will emphasize reform of nationality law, birth registration and the facilitation of naturalization. Cooperation with the European Network on Statelessness in advocacy and training initiatives in the region will continue.
Strengthen UNHCR's external relations and mobilize support for the work of UNHCR worldwide
UNHCR's operations in the subregion play an important role in raising awareness of its work and the needs of refugees worldwide. Within Europe, attitudes towards people of concern to the organization are often linked to national debates about migration, both legal and illegal.
In times of economic crisis, high unemployment and conflict in neighbouring regions, the growing number of refugees and migrants arriving in the region have to overcome fearful attitudes among locals.Tocounterthistrend,UNHCR works closely with civil-society organizations and others involved in refugee protection. It is represented at public events, seminars and conferences, and engages with the media to raise awareness of refugee needs. Innovative approaches include high-visibility campaigns using public spaces and transport. Particular attention is paid to improving communication through social media. Where xenophobia and racism have led to violence against asylum-seekers and refugees, UNHCR will address the problem with the help of local partners.
| Financial information |
Over the last four years, UNHCR's financial requirements in the subregion have increased slightly. In 2014, the financial requirements are set at USD 62.5 million, a slight increase from the revised 2013 budget of USD 60.2 million, mainly due to the reinforcement of the Office's responsibilities in covering the Nordic and Baltic countries. Approximately 94 per cent of the 2014 budget is allocated to refugees and asylum-seekers, with the remaining 6 per cent allocated to the stateless programme.

You can take the products out of the Apple Store, but can you take the entire concept to a whole new level? That's what the MODIA Home Theater Store is shooting for. The company just announced plans to become an Apple Authorized Reseller, as well as put Apple's products inside all seven of its stores in Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
"We see this as a perfect match," said Mihir Mody, CEO of MODIA Home Theater. "Apple is the gold standard in product innovation, design and marketing. At MODIA we've spent years creating a unique retail environment designed to help customers imagine and understand how technology can be seamlessly integrated into their distinct home and office lives. We strive to enhance the individual, emotional connection people can have with lifestyle technology… and Apple is masterful at providing an integral, elegant link."
Of course, a lot of companies sell Apple products, but MODIA is hoping to show its customers how to integrate those products into today's home and office environments. In other words, the retail space will show off security, audio/video, climate control, lighting, and other realms of the Electronic House, adding Apple products into the mix.
"This new relationship with Apple will now allow all of our customers to fully experience how Apple products can create a simplified, user-friendly and single-source interface that unifies all their lifestyle technology," says Mody. "While the customer can buy Apple products at many other retailers, our plans are to present and demonstrate their entire line in a very unique way. MODIA is in a "hands-on, real-time" business. And this kind of showcase for Apple products simply isn't available anywhere else."
MODIA currently has stores in Houston, Austin, and Dallas. The company currently holds the number five slot on the CE Pro 100, an annual list of the largest custom electronics integrators in the United States. The CE Pro 100 is compiled by CE Pro, a sister publication to Electronic House.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

The Cavapoo, also known as the Cavadoodle, is created by the crossing of two breeds: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle. They are often referred to as "designer dogs" and have become popular family companions.
One of the most distinctive features of the Cavapoo are the long ears. They are compact, small to medium in size, and possess a round, expressive face. They are typically well-proportioned, agile, and sturdy.
The Cavapoo is affectionate, loyal, and friendly. They are good-natured, playful, and social. They do best with older, considerate children. They do well with dogs and non-canine pets. Cavapoo's will bark to announce visitors and out of the ordinary sounds. They are very family oriented and do not do well if ignored or left alone for extended periods of time.
Depending on coat type, the Cavapoo requires regular brushing to prevent matting and tangling or professional clipping. It is important to keep the ears clean and the nails trimmed. They may be prone to such health issues as hip dysplasia, eye disease, luxating patella, PRA, skin problems, and epilepsy.
The coat of the Cavapoo may be curly or soft, silky, and slightly wavy.
Early socialization and obedience are recommended. The Cavapoo may be difficult to housetrain. The crate training method works best. They will not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with firmness, fairness, patience, and consistency.
The Cavapoo is well suited to apartment living provided they are sufficiently exercised. They thrive on daily securely leashed walks, off-lead play in a securely fenced yard, and family play sessions.
Help reduce the number of dogs in shelters by doing your due diligence. Many puppies are often purchased with little or no knowledge of what goes into parenting one. Uneducated decisions often leave the puppy in need of adoption and in the care of rescue groups. Bringing home a puppy into your family has many benefits but we first implore you to educate yourself. An informed decision will take into account the characteristics of the breed, your lifestyle, expected veterinary care, the demands and limitations of owning one, their activity requirements and levels of companionship required.
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Cavapoo breeders to list and rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

Educational FacilitiesAll · Budgeting · Planning/Evaluation · Support · Training/Research/Plan Review
1. What sources of funds may a district use if it needs a new school?
PECO (new construction); CO&DS (also on PPL approved by SBE); lease-purchase (COPS) money; funds from the 2.0 mill levy; local bond referendum proceeds; one-half cent sales surtax revenue; one cent intergovernmental sales surtax revenue; and impact fees. These sources may be used provided that they are available to the school district and meet the statutory requirements for expenditure for each type of fund.
2. Generally, what sources of funding can we use without a survey recommendation?
There are six sources of funds that can be used without a survey recommendation for capital outlay purposes:
- the local capital outlay improvement fund which consists of funds that come from and are a part of the district's basic operating budget;
- a voted bond referendum when a board decides to build something without a survey recommendation and the taxpayers approve the referendum;
- one-half cent sales surtax revenue;
- one cent local governmental surtax revenue;
- impact fees; and
- private gifts or donations.
3. Is it permissible for districts to purchase portable classrooms from 2 mill funds?
Yes. A portable is part of an educational plant that is referenced in the expenditure category lease, lease-purchase. Additionally, portables are included as projects to meet the needs identified within the educational plant survey and are referenced as a purpose for use of 2 mill funds (s. 1011.71, F.S.). Portable classrooms can be purchased, rented or leased from 2 mill funds.
4. Can a district build relocatable classrooms with 2 mill funding given that they have properly advertised the project?; and Can a district build relocatable classrooms with PECO funding given a recommendation exists in the educational plant survey?
The method of acquiring relocatable classrooms is the decision of each district school board; however, construction must comply with the Florida Building Code. The plans for the construction of the relocatable classrooms are required to be approved by the Department of Community Affairs through its manufactured building program. Construction must be accomplished by a State licensed general contractor and sub-contractors. All inspections are required to be made by State licensed inspectors. Additionally, the cost should be financially feasible to incur and should be comparable to the market price of acquiring commercially pre-manufactured classrooms. Section 1011.71 (2)(a), F.S., allows for funding construction with 2 mill funds.
5. Is there a limit on how much of the levied 2 mill funds a district can bond?
Pursuant to Section 1011.71(2)(e), F.S., the 2 mill revenues cannot be "bonded", however, up to 75% of the levied amount can be pledged for debt service on certificates of participation (COPs).
6. Can the 2 mill equivalent appropriation for university developmental research schools be used for the purpose of a lease or lease-purchase arrangement?
Pursuant to Section 1013.64(3)(c), F.S., nonbonded PECO funds may be used to lease relocatable educational facilities for up to 3 years. The 2 mill equivalent appropriation is funded from PECO bond proceeds. Based upon this, the 2 mill equivalent for developmental research schools would not be an appropriate funding source for lease or lease-purchase arrangements related to relocatable classrooms.
7. What are the approximate student stations recommended for typical growing districts that are adding schools?
Elementary – 800
Middle - 1,200
High - 2,000
8. What is the approximate construction period for educational facilities?
Rough approximations of how long it would take to construct the schools are:
- Elementary – 1 – 1 ˝ years
- Middle – 1 ˝ - 2 years
- High - 2 – 2 ˝ years
The size of the school and length of the design phase would have an impact on the time as well.
9. When is the Cost per Student Station updated?
The information used for updating the Cost per Student Station is located at http://edr.state.fl.us/conferences/peco/station.htm The cost factor is updated using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) between mid-February and March of each year
10. What does PECO mean?
Public Education Capital Outlay. Funds are generated through the levy of the gross receipts tax on utilities and are used to accomplish fixed capital outlay projects of the education agencies.
11. Can PECO funds be used for debt service?
No. Pursuant to current federal tax regulations, PECO funds cannot be used to pay principal or interest on any obligations issued on behalf of a governmental unit.
12. If funds are requested to be encumbered for a project and an education agency has revised its funding program for projects, can the agency request that an encumbrance be unauthorized?
Yes, by submitting an updated OEF Form 352 requesting the amount as a negative. This is possible only if the amount transferred between projects has not been disbursed by the Office of Educational Facilities Budgeting to the agency.
13. If an agency submits an executed OEF Form 352 or OEF Form 442 via fax, is it necessary to follow up with an original copy of the relevant form?
A facsimile copy will be accepted.
14. How far in advance of executing a contract should an encumbrance authorization request be submitted?
Approximately 30 days.
15. How soon after submitting an encumbrance authorization request can a disbursement request be submitted?
Once the encumbrance authorization request is authorized, an education agency can request cash disbursements pursuant to the established cash disbursement deadlines.
16. On the OEF Form 442 for cash disbursement requests, how is the amount of the cash disbursement calculated?
Add the Expended to Date amount plus Estimated Expenditures less Interest Earned less the Disbursements to Date amount.
17. On the OEF Form 442 for cash disbursement requests, how is Cash on Hand calculated?
The Disbursements to Date amount plus Interest Earnings less Expenditures to Date.
18. When will the education agency receive the requested cash disbursement?
Lottery and PECO funds are distributed to education agencies on the 20th of each month, or on the next business day. Charter school distributions are received the fourth Thursday (the fourth Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving) of the month.
19. Who is authorized to sign an encumbrance authorization request?
Pursuant to Section 1013.31 (2), F.S., the district superintendent, community college president, or the university president can certify to the Office of Educational Facilities a project's compliance with the requirements for expenditure of capital outlay funds prior to release of funds.
20. What are the necessary procedures to follow for universities to receive funds for fixed capital outlay project appropriations that were approved by the Legislature?
Submit an encumbrance authorization request (OEF Form 352) to encumber funds and request cash monthly through the OEF Form 442 process through the Department of Education Office of Educational Facilities Budgeting.
21. For what type of projects does the Constitution of the State of Florida authorize expenditure of CO&DS funds?
Acquiring, building, construction, altering, remodeling, improving, enlarging, furnishing, equipping, maintaining, renovating, or repairing of capital outlay projects for school purposes.
22. What restrictions does the constitution place on the expenditure of CO&DS funds?
Projects must be survey recommended; funds must be spent "only in the order of priority of needs"; and expenditures must have the approval of the State Board of Education.
23. Section 2.1(5)(e)1.b of SREF states, "During any fiscal year, a board has the authority to encumber up to twenty (20) percent of its current entitlement of CO&DS funds for equipment for existing satisfactory facilities." Does this mean that if a district receives $150,000 in CO&DS funds it can only use $30,000 for equipment? Also, do Priority A projects have to be done before Priority B projects?
Up to 20% of the CO&DS entitlement can be encumbered for equipment to make the facility operational. Priority A projects must be funded before Priority B projects.
24. To receive funding pursuant to the Classrooms for Kids Program, do projects have to appear in the educational plant survey?
Yes. Districts will certify to this when encumbrance authorization requests are submitted. Pursuant to Section 1013.735(1),F.S., the Program is to be administered in the same manner as the PECO Program.
25. When will I receive my Charter School Capital Outlay distribution?
The funds are sent to the district on the fourth Thursday of every month. Pursuant to Section 1002.33(17)(d),F.S., the district is given 10 days to distribute state or federal funds to the charter school. The Charter School Capital Outlay Plan must have been certified by the district and charter school and submitted to the Office of Educational Facilities prior to the disbursement of these funds. This Plan serves as verification that the charter school is eligible for capital outlay funding and that expenditure of these funds is permissible pursuant to Section 1013.62(2), F.S.
26. Can Classrooms for Kids funds be used for furniture and equipment costs, along with construction costs?
The funding can be used for a complete project, which would include these costs. Furniture and equipment are necessary for the project to be operational.
27. I have the same amount of students as last month, but my monthly charter school capital outlay payment decreased. Why is that?
There is a limited amount of funds available for a growing student population. As more schools come into the program, the funds available are given to more students, resulting in a less amount per student.
28. Can charter school capital outlay funds be used to purchase furniture, fixtures, and equipment for a new school?
The expenditure of charter school capital outlay funds for these purposes would be allowable since these are necessary costs incurred as part of the project cost in order to make the facility operational/useable.
29. Can I buy a bus with my charter school capital outlay?
Yes, as long as it is used for the transportation of students to and from school and meets the school transportation standards. It is best to check with your school district transportation officer to be sure prior to entering into an agreement to purchase transportation vehicles.
30. Can I buy computers with my charter school capital outlay?
It depends on the fiscal year of the allocation that you are spending. Fiscal Year 2003-04 legislation changed the type of expenditure that can be made with capital outlay funds and computers are not allowable. You can go to the charter school capital outlay web page to get more information http://www.fldoe.org/edfacil/oef/chartsub.asp.
31. When is the Charter School Capital Outlay Plan due?
The Plan is due annually with a date identified by memorandum. The memorandum is published at the beginning of each fiscal year and made available on the Office's website. No capital outlay can be released for your school until the plan is received. This form is required as verification that your school is eligible for funding.
32. When are the 5-year Workplans due?
Workplans are due by October 1 of each year.
33. Where can funding information and forms be located on the web?
http://www.fldoe.org/edfacil/ under "Budgeting Section" and/or "Quick Links".
1. Why do the Superintendent and Board Chair have to annually certify the accuracy of the district's inventory of facilities (FISH)?
State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) 6.1(7)(c) requires that, "Prior to April 1 of each year, each district shall review the Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) and shall certify to the Office that the inventory is current and accurate. Use form OEF FISH – Certification of Facilities Data." Certification is required to ensure that all data used for analyses of need, assessments of meeting class size reduction standards, reporting requirements to the legislature and other governing bodies, and reports provided to the public are made using accurate and current facilities information.
1. When and where are the SREF courses going to be offered?
The SREF course dates and locations can be found on our website at http://www.fldoe.org/edfacil/ubci.asp.Students enroll directly online at this site.
2. Are there any fees for the SREF course?
There are no fees for the course. Students are only required to cover the cost of their food, travel and lodging during the course.
3. Am I eligible to take the SREF course if I don't have a professional license (i.e., for a contractor, building inspector, architect or engineer)?
Students are not required to have a professional licensed to attend the SREF course. Unlicensed attendees will receive a certificate for having attended this course but will not be receiving continuing education hours. Licenses are issued by the Department of Business and Professional Regulations. License information may be obtained online at: http://www.myflorida.com/dbpr/.
4. If my license already expired, can I still get credit (continuing education hours) for taking the SREF course?
In order for the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) to grant continuing education hours (CEH's) to you, you must hold a current certification.
5. Can a student take the SREF course if they never held a professional license?
Yes. Anyone can take the SREF course and receive a certificate for attendance, however, unlicensed students will not be granted continuing education hours (CEH's) for this course.
6. How may someone obtain a copy of SREF (State Requirements for Educational Facilities)?
A PDF version of SREF can be downloaded from our web site here: http://www.fldoe.org/edfacil/pdf/sref-rule.pdf
7. What is the current edition of SREF?
2007 SREF (State Requirements for Educational Facilities) became effective February 12, 2008 and a PDF version can be downloaded at: http://www.fldoe.org/edfacil/pdf/sref-rule.pdf.
8. How may I obtain copies of OEF Forms?
Forms are available online at: http://www/fldoe.org/edfacil/formsmain.asp
Training/Research/Plan Review
1. Who is the contact for mechanical issues on new construction, additions, remodeling, and renovations?
Contact: Larry Parish
Phone: 850-245-9227
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
2. (Mechanical) When is a life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) required?
When the total new air conditioning load exceeds three hundred sixty thousand (360,000) B per hour (30 tons). Exception: When connecting to an existing chilled water system having adequate capacity.
3. (Mechanical) Are there instructions for completing the Life Cycle Cost Data Summary Sheets?
Yes. See the PDF file: http://www.fldoe.org/edfacil/pdf/lcca.pdf
4. (Mechanical) Are gas-fired water heaters considered boilers?
By definition (FBC, Building 423.5.3), any fuel-fired, heat producing appliance with a minimum input capacity of sixty thousand (60,000) BTU per hour and intended to supply hot water or steam is a boiler.
5. (Mechanical) Can gas piping be installed in or above a corridor if it is encased in a conduit or a one (1) hour rated horizontal chase?
No. This solution is still considered to be "in or above" the corridor.
6. (Mechanical) Can purveyor (city/municipal) water and sewer systems provided with emergency power be considered support systems for enhanced hurricane protection area (EHPA) toilet rooms?
Only if it can be demonstrated, and reasonably expected, that the systems can be maintained and stay operational during the storm event. This might be difficult since it would be necessary to demonstrate that all pumping stations and controls would be located in "hardened" enclosures and emergency power systems permanently installed or in place prior to the storm.
7. Who is the contact for electrical issues on new construction, additions, remodeling, and renovations?
Contact: Jim Watts
Phone: 850-245-9303
E-mail: email@example.com
8. (Electrical) What provisions must be made available when a second party is suppling the generator for the operation of an EHPA during an emergency?
The provisions vary according to whether the generator is trailer mounted or skid mounted. The generators, in both cases, require some type of tie down system and the system is different according to which of the above type is supplied. If the supplying party cannot guarantee which type will be supplied, then it becomes necessary to prepare for both conditions. Next, it needs to be determined if the generator to be supplied is capable of meeting the wind and missile impact criteria required by the FBC. If the generator can meet the wind and missile impact criteria, then nothing else is required. If the generator cannot meet the wind and missile impact criteria, then it becomes necessary to provide a generator shelter that shall meet the criteria.
9. (Electrical) How do you determine the number of spare breakers required in a panel to meet the spare requirement of FBC 423.17.3, Spare Capacity?
First it must be understood that the number of spares is set by the number of breakers the panel is capable of holding, not the number of breakers the design requires. To give an example, the design calls for 32 circuits each of which require one 20 amp breaker. The panel of choice is capable of holding 42 single phase breakers. The number of spare breakers to meet the 20% criteria would be 8 not 6. If the total number of breakers exceeded 42, then a sub-panel or feed-thru would be required. It should be noted that the total number of spare breakers would increase by the size of the sub-panel. As a second example; the design calls for 54 circuits of which each require one 20 amp breaker. To see if a 42 breaker main panel and a 30 breaker sub-panel or feed-thru will be sufficient, we take the total number of breaker slots available, 72, and take 20% of that number. That number is 14 and is added to the total number of required circuits, 54. This gives a total of 68. Therefore, a 42 breaker main panel and a 30 breaker sub-panel or feed-thru will meet FBC 423.17.3 requirements for the 54 circuit design. All of the spares can be located in the sub-panel if desired. However, it should be noted that the sub-panel must be located in the same room as the main panel. If not, it is considered a stand-alone panel and must have its required spares available in the room were it is located.
10. (Electrical) What is the difference between an "Emergency Shut-Off Switch" and an "Emergency Disconnect" as described in FBC 423.17.4 and .5 respectively?
In general terms, they both provide the same type function. To be a little more specific, an "Emergency Shut-Off Switch" is normally associated with use in a laboratory and disconnects power to all of the receptacles in the room. It can also shut off any gas supplied to a lab. It usually performs its operation through relay control. An "Emergency Disconnect" is generally associated with heavy equipment located in a shop, i.e., an arc welder, band or table saw, bench sanders, etc. It also shuts off power to all receptacles in the shop area. Based of what is connected, the "Disconnect Switch" may be a large manual pull switch that disconnects all 220 volt and all 3 phase power equipment and trigger relays to shut down all receptacles and 110 volt equipment. One important factor is that two "Disconnect Switches" are required where only one "Emergency Shut-Off Switch" is required.
11. (Electrical) Can a Fire Alarm Annunciator Panel be installed in the EHPA Manager's Office instead of the Control Panel?
No. The FBC is very specific about the locations of the Control Panel and the Annunciator Panel. The Control Panel must be in the EHPA manger's office and the Annunciator Panel in or near the Administration area. The reasoning is very simple. With the Control Panel in the EHPA Manager's Office, the manager will always be able to tell if a problem exists anywhere in the school. If the Control Panel was located outside of the EHPA area and a problem caused the Panel to become non-responsive, the people in the EHPA would be in an unprotected area. With the Control Panel in the EHPA, a problem that causes another area or building to be non-responsive would not leave the EHPA unprotected.
12. Who is the contact for additional information on existing buildings?
Contact Jack Villagomez
Phone: 850-245-9294
E-mail: email@example.com
13. (Existing Buildings) What is the current firesafety standard for inspection of existing public schools?
State Fire Marshal rule 69A-58, Effective Date 11/26/2006, is the current firesafety standard for inspection of existing public K-12 educational facilities.
14. (Existing Buildings) What standard is to be used for existing private schools including charter schools on private property?
Florida Fire Prevention Code and local codes.
15. (Existing Buildings) Is the school district required to perform annual inspections of all charter schools and likewise is the local fire department?
The district is not required to inspect private schools including charter schools but the fire department is required to inspect all schools including both private and public charter schools.
16. (Existing Buildings) Is there still an SREF Chapter 5 for existing schools?
Yes. The 2007 SREF (State Requirements for Educational Facilities) became effective February 12, 2008. SREF Chapter 5, Existing Facilities, has been revised to eliminate references to firesafety. Firesafety requirements are found in State Fire Marshal rule 69A-58 and the Florida Fire Prevention Code. SREF Chapter 5, and its incorporated codes addresses all other areas of safety including casualty safety, sanitation, and accessibility which are to be checked in the annual comprehensive inspections.
17. (Existing Buildings) What is the correct form for districts to use for annual safety inspections?
There is no official OEF-207 form for comprehensive annual inspections. Districts are free to devise their own form so long as the current 2007 SREF Chapter 5 references are utilized. For firesafety inspections Rule 69A-58.004(5) specifies what the firesafety inspection report shall contain, at a minimum. All firesafety reports are to be submitted electronically to the SFM utilizing the official SFM-Violation Master List. The list identifies common violations by assigning each violation a specific number and generic title. For instance Violation Master List Number 21 is named "BLOCKED/LOCKED EXITS". Reports should clarify descriptions for the particular violation by referencing the building number, room number and a more detailed violation description such as: Building 3, Room 100, "Remove deadbolt at corridor exit door". Other questions regarding firesafety inspection reports should be addressed to State Fire Marshal at: http://www.myfloridacfo.com/sfm/.
18. (Existing Buildings) Are two annual firesafety inspections required?
Yes. Per Chapter 1013 F.S. and Rule 69A-58, the local fire department, municipal, county, or special district, must perform an inspection of each public school within its jurisdiction. The district must also perform an annual comprehensive safety inspection that includes firesafety for each facility. The 2 firesafety inspections may, however, be a joint inspection.
19. What is the current edition of SREF?
2007 SREF (State Requirements for Educational Facilities) became effective February 12, 2008 and a PDF version can be downloaded at: http://www.fldoe.org/edfacil/pdf/sref-rule.pdf.
20. Who is the contact for additional information on environmental issues?
Contact: Darrell Phillips
Phone: 850-245-0494
21. (Environmental) Can DOE provide technical assistance with environmental concerns?
Yes, the Department of Education can provide technical assistance on environmental concerns at no cost to local educational agencies. Much of the technical assistance consist of reviewing consultant's report.
22. (Environmental) Do charter schools have to comply with federal asbestos laws?
Yes, every K-12 public, private and charter school is required to ensure that its building is properly inspected every three years and that an Asbestos Management Plan is available at each individual school. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is stepping up enforcement of charter schools, so ensure that your school is in compliance by reviewing the requirements at http://www.epa.gov/asbestos/pubs/asbestos_in_schools.html
23. (Environmental) What information must be on chemical containers stored at schools?
According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, all stored containers of hazardous chemicals must be labeled with the name of the product, appropriate hazard warnings, and the name and address of the chemical manufacturer. All chemicals should be supplied with that information from the manufacturer; however, spray bottles and products mixed onsite need to be properly labeled as well. The material safety data sheet can be obtained for each product.
24. (Environmental) Does DOE have a recommendation on the thermostat setting for classrooms?
Yes. The American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends that temperatures be kept from 73.0°- 78.5°F in the cooling season, and 67.5°- 74.0°F in the heating season (i.e., winter). ASHRAE's recommendations are based on comfort. A concern during the cooling season is cooling the classroom air below the dew point of the air outside. Condensation and mold growth can result. Heat is our friend with regard to keeping buildings dry and preventing mold, so we recommend trying to bear temperatures of 76.0°- 78.5°F in the cooling season.
25. (Environmental) What is DOE's opinion of pets in a classroom?
Pets can provide wonderful and fun educational opportunities, but every classroom has children with allergies and asthma. Pet dander could trigger a life-threatening asthma attack. Diseases such as salmonella have been linked to some pets such as turtles. The Florida Department of Health performs inspections to ensure that pet cages are kept in a sanitary condition. We recommend that each school district adopt its own policy for pets in classrooms. The most prudent policy would be to introduce the pet for its educational purpose and when it is no longer used for educational purposes, it should be removed from the classroom.
26. Who is the contact for additional information on maintenance and operations issues?
Contact: Annabelle Wright
Phone: 850-245-9298
E-mail: email@example.com
27. (Maintenance and Operations) Where can I obtain a copy of the Utility and Maintenance and Operations Reports?
The reports may be found at:

WASHINGTON - Metro says weekend work on the Red, Orange and Green lines will cause delays for some riders.
On the Red Line, buses will replace trains between Fort Totten and Forest Glen from 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Two stations, Silver Spring and Takoma, will be closed. Metro says customers traveling through the work zone should allow 30 minutes of additional travel time.
On the Orange Line, trains will single-track between Stadium-Armory and Cheverly and between East Falls Church and West Falls Church.
Finally, on the Green Line, trains will single-track between Greenbelt and College Park. Customers traveling to or from the Greenbelt station should add about 10 minutes to their travel times.

John Aaron,
WASHINGTON - Although flu shots are a good line of defense against the virus, they're far from perfect.
But there could be a way to boost their effectiveness. Exercise, in the right amount, might amplify the flu vaccine's effect.
According to The New York Times, a study at Iowa State University found that people who went on a 90-minute jog or bike ride just after getting their flu shot saw their antibody response double compared to those who sat idle.
However, a study on mice found that longer periods of exercise might actually reduce immune response.
More research is needed, but for those feeling healthy, 90 minutes of exercise after a flu shot might be worth considering.

Bang & Olufsen is pretty well known for its stylish products—and its prices. Now, the company is putting together a little package deal for its customers, announcing the built-in sound system at the 2013 International CES.
The system includes the BeoLab 15 speakers and the BeoLab 16 subwoofer, which are all created for in-wall or in-ceiling placement. Rounding out the package is the rack-ready Amplifier 1.
Designed for spaces where free-standing speakers aren't possible (or wanted), the built-in sound solution features drivers powered by separate amps and a motorized tilt. The BeoLab 15 is a closed cabinet, two-way speaker with a 0.75-inch tweeter and a 3-inch midrange. That unit can be tilted up to 45 degrees from the default position. The BeoLab 16 has two pairs of 4-inch woofers in separate sealed cabinets.
Finally, that Amplifier 1 features six separate amplifiers. It has two class-D units rated at 2x150 watts for the subwoofer, while each BeoLab 15 gets 150 watts for the midrange and 45 watts for the tweeter. B&O also says that Adaptive Bass Linearization will keep the deep bass cultivated and crisp all the way down to 45 Hz.
"The motorized tilt functionality brings a touch of magic to an in-wall, in-ceiling speaker. It offers something unexpected to the listening experience and also makes the performance and acoustical sound stage so much better," states Zean Nielsen, president of Bang & Olufsen America, Inc. "There is no doubt that the BeoLab 15/16 built-in sound solution will resonate well with the North American consumer. Its design, custom installation and natural aluminum finish makes it second to none in its category."
The BeoLab 15 and BeoLab 16 are available in matte aluminium, with the 15s getting fabric covers in either white or black. B&O will start selling the sound solution this month with a pair of BeoLab 15 speakers, the BeoLab 16, the Amplifier 1, and an MSRP of $4,595.

Personally I tend not to advocate two stamina trinkets at the same time. I prefer one stam trinket and one avoidance one. As such, I'd say Skel key/Corpse tongue.
Honestly though I'm lousy at math. I expect Stam Czar will be behind me in a second to prove that the stam+armor buff on TBH offers a higher effective health than the stam+dmg absorb on Key.
Either way, Corpse tongue+ one of the other two is the better way to go I think.

Tanita has been modeling for ten years and it certainly shows. Well known and highly regarded in the modeling industry, Tanita's trademark is her red lion hair and near perfect feminine proportions.
She works in the Ukrainian political scene by trade and has no qualms immersing herself in a traditionally male dominated field.Sitting in front of the camera for an entire decade has given Tatina a super confident and perhaps cocky attitude. She can regularly be heard saying out loud "I'm beautiful" and you can tell from the sound of her voice that she believes every word she says.
Most people consider such a strong presence to be intimidating. We however just think it makes Tatina all the more beautiful.
|fasteddie United States
okay theres something about redhead and in tanita particular. It's this. Synonyms: sexy , nasty,georgeous,sick,beautiful all meaning i like !!!.
|Michael Canada
Tanita Tanita is all woman and very attractive. As for the red hair, man that is just too awesome. I could look at her all day.
|steve turner Australia
9 out of 10 9 out of ten ....but those fingernails are ..well you know!
|alex United Kingdom
tanita red hot beauty
|Chief Thunder Germany
Tanita Her face is not my type, but her body and especially her feet look very sexy!!!
|Dan from Texas United States
Tanita stirs my memory Tanita is a ringer for the beautiful redhead that changed my life forever. Seeing her in her glorious beauty is a real pleasure. She and Petter's photos are pure art.
|alex United Kingdom
tanita red hot!tanita is terrific.
|Tony United States
Red hot My god she's beautiful. Please sir, may i have some more.
|Gruvyglen United States
RE: Photo number 10 Delicious!
|alex United Kingdom
tanita very very hot.
|Dan United States
Tanita red passion The only thing better in this world than a red haired beauty is two red haired beauties. Tanita is my dream come true!
|Fraey Netherlands
Red hot should be the correct term...
|Dave France
Tanita Human (female!) beauty takes many forms. Skinny is one of them - and I am, I admit, a fan! Tanita, however, shows us another way. Her photos positively ooze with voluptuous sensuality. Vive la différence!!
|John United States
Not so hot Don't get me wrong she's pretty but not what I'm use to seeing on this site.
|Victor United Kingdom
Tanita Vive la difference indeed. That's what I like about Petter's work we get deliacate skinny girls like Caro and Janina and then more voluptuous or Amazonian types like Tanita and Ann (a personal favorite)and then one's that can't be easily categorised like Lza. I don't want to see identikit girls, I want to be challenged and get the opportunity to see girls up close I'd never normally get the chance to see! And that's what we get here, keep up the good work.
|GERBOU France
Wonderful red hair girl! Perfect boobs, cute ass, nice pussy: All what we like.
|andreson United Kingdom
RED Fantasy At last. Red heads are rare and gorgeous ones even more so. I thank you, must i wait for more?
|timatits United States
The Tease Well, I have looked at this series several times and I am surprised that it has only one comment to date. The photos are quite a tease and it is fun the way in which Petter works you through the two-plus pages. The photos start explicit and then pull back. By the sixth photo all you see is hair!! Great hair, to be sure; then back to explicit! And the pattern repeats on the second page of photos. This series makes you not focus on Tanita's obvious charms in particular—you just what them it any form as they go in and out as you work your way through the set. Great fun!
|Philip, Colorado, USA United States
Tanita HOLY REDHEAD BATMAN! Beautiful woman she is and has a look of being in control. Sensuous body. It would be interesting to see her against a lush green garden or jungle type setting for the contrast.
|Bernard France
YOU, Mr. HEGRE have a great talent and a great sens of the lights. BRAVO

See poof juice. Alcoholic beverages (c. 5% alc) such as Barcadi Breezers.

A fruity flavoued alcoholic beverage consumed by women and females. Also known as bitch piss. Consumed in vast quantities by 15-yr old girls with way to much make up and nowhere near enough clothing.
"What ARE you drinking? Not another alcopop! Go get a real drink!"
מאת Jack 25 במאי, 2003
An extremely sugary drink containing artificial fruit flavouring and alcohol specially designed by the manufacturers to cause tooth decay, obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Taverner: Missa Sancti Wilhelmi & other sacred music
Helios (Hyperion's budget label)CDH55055
The Sixteen & The Golden Age of Polyphony
10CDs Boxed set (at a special price)CDS44401/10
Movement 1: Gloria
Track 7 on CDS44401/10 CD6 [6'39] 10CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Movement 2: Credo
Track 8 on CDS44401/10 CD6 [7'45] 10CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Movement 3: Sanctus and Benedictus
Track 9 on CDS44401/10 CD6 [7'00] 10CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Movement 4: Agnus Dei
Track 10 on CDS44401/10 CD6 [4'54] 10CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
The Mass is scored for five voices, within which Taverner makes effective use of contrasting high and low groups. Simple and clear textures, and extensive use of imitation, combine to create a decidedly more 'modern' music than is found in his large-scale and elaborate six-voice masses. The 'long' movements, the Gloria and Credo, are set in a functional, predominantly syllabic style, while the Sanctus-Benedictus and Agnus Dei are given melismatic treatment, so that the four movements are balanced in length and weight. Overtly expressive writing is limited to the conventional pauses at 'Jesu' and 'Et homo factus est', but Taverner achieves a marvellous sense of climax through his favourite device of melodic sequence in the Osanna of the Sanctus.

Perricone's Best Cleanser
By RG33
from Dallas, TX
I have been using Perricone products for years and the only cleanser I have liked was the discontinued Skin Clear Cleanser because it was more of a creamy texture that did not irritate or dry out my skin. I have been using the Hypoallergenic Cleanser, only to find it to be relatively harsh and drying on my skin. Luckily, the Neuropeptide Cleanser is a great replacement! This cleanser improves skin texture in only a few uses and surprisingly has helped clear some blemishes, evened out my sking tone, and never dries out my skin. I highly recommend this cleanser above all the other cleansers Perricone offers.

It's not just the athletes who are the big stars of the Games, patriotic pets are hitting the big time too. We reported that Andy Murray had given his gold and silver medals to his dogs earlier in the week. Then yesterday this picture of a cat doing an uncanny impression of Usain Bolt's trademark celebration emerged. Plus, Twitter is full of pictures of pets watching Team GB and getting into the sporting spirit with a spot of fancy dress (we're talking medals, flags and hats here guys). Prepare to coo and giggle - here's our round up of patriotic pets.
