"Comments from other mumsnetters: The Farmhouse is a "really smart…"
Comments from other mumsnetters:
The Farmhouse is a "really smart and super comfortable chalet" with "all ensuite bathrooms." It's "very close to the centre of town and the slopes" and has a "TV and DVD for those quiet (or snowy) times" with "a wide selection of kids' films as well as toys, sledges etc." The "staff are "cheerful, helpful and professional" and the "excellent service" even runs to "tea in bed in the mornings." There was lots for praise for the childcare: "Absolutely superb" said one reviewer, "We had an endlessly inventive nanny for our children" raved another.Read moreLessMumsnetter RachelMumsnet

"Childcare worked really well and the nanny was great. Accommodation…"
Childcare worked really well and the nanny was great. Accommodation has lots of stairs, which wasn't ideal for children and getting the pushchair up and down the stairs at the front door was a bit of a challenge. Food was ok but not as good as other chalets we've stayed in in the past. Resort is REALLY expensive!!

Ordering for a Team? Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
Ever wish you could take your glasses into the pool with you? Now you can with the new Sporti S2 Optical Goggles. Featuring the same sleek design and fit as the popular Sporti S2 goggle, these S2 Optical Goggles give you the clear vision you need and the high-performance design you want.
I am purchasing these today so I can't review how good they are yet, but I wanted to share a tip. My daughter needs a -4.0 in left eye and -5.5 in right. Rather than compromise vision in both we are getting 2 pairs and will custom "build" the correction she needs. The cost of these is still way below some of the other custom prescription goggles on the market. You must make sure the goggles have a detachable nose bridge to be able to modify them this way.
Used for swimming training. Increased the confidence as i can see things clearly now.
I have worn glasses since I was 9 years old. Without my glasses I feel insecure, claustrophobic... I recently started swimming and not being able to see clearly in the water is a frightening experience. When I wear these goggles I'm able to see while swimming. They are wonderful...amazing!!! I am going to order another pair of goggles to have a backup.
Excellent goggles, the prescription lens -6 is working great, I can see clearly now in pool and spa
Now I can see what time it is when Im in the pool!
My 12 year old son is as happy with these as the Speedo Vanquisher's yet they are far more affordable; bought 3 for the price of one SV - he says the adult size fits perfectly.
fit well, prescription really works, does not leak, makes a huge difference to be able to see in the pool
I got these for my hubby, good and steady construction, great performance. Feels like a high-end brand, and the optical correction is accurate
I can see underwater! The RX works really well! The anti-fog works well, the goggles don't leak, I experimented with the nose strap the get the right fit, it's really good, What's not to like? I am actually VERY nearsighted and these goggles make all the difference. Note to other near sighted swimmers: Water magnifies about 25% so you don't need to order your full RX. Mine is -6.50 so I ordered -5.0 and it's fantastic!
I swim with these 3 times a week. The anti-fog seems to be holding up and there's absolutely no HINT of leaking. Since I can actually SEE the pace clock, I can do the same workout as others in the Masters practice!While the strap is more difficult than others, what I really find disappointing is how uncomfortable the seal is on my nose. They're comfortable when I swim but when I take them off, my nose hurts where the seals where suctioned on. That's the only thing though!

Vote Now for the Next Food Network Star
by Sarah De Heer in Food Network Star, August 4, 2013All season long the mentors have guided this very decision, and now you, Food Network Star fans, get to make the final and most important decision. Will you join Damaris on her journey in helping guys woo their mates with Southern food on Eat, Date Love? Will you get Pie Style with Rodney? Or will you channel your inner culinary sins and indulge with Russell on Guilty Pleasures?
Food Network's newest sensation is up to you: Cast your vote now (voting is now closed).

A Letter to Lenny, from the Rebel
Dear Lenny, Out of all the seasons of Food Network Star, I can think of only one other winner who has a personality as big as yours. Congratulations a...Comments (
841 )-
I vote for Rodney. I would like to try his pie.
Bad idea sending Stacey home. Stacey and Nikki were two of the best, I don't mind Damaris but Stacey was the best, She was intelligent, pleasant, charming, excellent personality and fun to watch and to top it all off her dishes were lovely and I would try her dishes any day. Her mentors say she was too rehearsed and polished, but with her personality that could be solved easily. Not everyone on the network is going to have a "rough" personality like Guy. Allow her to have and create her own persona. I think Food Network made a big mistake and I will not be voting this year. Good luck to Damaris, If she does not win I will be disappointed. PLEASE FIND A SHOW FOR STACEY!!!!! All the best in your endeavours Stacey!!!!!
I think Damaris hit a home run!!!!!!!
If anyone can do it, it's her.
I will not vote I hate all of them, and I will not watch any of their shows no matter who wins we (the viewers loose) Where is Justin from last year??????????
The viewers dont deserve a show when they for voted idiotic nonsense.
What in the world were the "mentors" thinking by bringing Russell and Rodney to the end? It should have been Stacy, Nikki and Demaris. The whole season felt fake... like the Network was pulling the strings and making the Mentors say things they didn't really feel. I could be wrong, but that's how it seemed. I really didn't like this year's show and I think the network needs to quit trying so hard! By always trying to manipulate the viewers and grab our attention, you're actually losing me.
Seriously? This show has become so convoluted and pretentious. The Food Network doesn't seem to know it's viewers at all. I'm over it. The Food network won't be taking up anymore space on my DVR.
Too bad PWR can't read your message but he/she would likely dismiss it as a tiny statistical minority. FN is so blindly convinced that they think they know what the public supposedly really wants that they just ignore complaints. I believe you are right, though. Oh well, it's their network.
The worst food network star ever! I can't believe Demaris won. Typical. An immature floozy. One show I definitely will never watch.
I told you Damaris would be the Next Food Network Star! Kentucky's own!
I am glad that Demaris won. Of the 3 she would be my choice by default. Would not have watched any of Rodmeys shows. Congratulations Demaris. Stacey, you are the true Food Network Star. Continue to shine wherever you go.
Food Network needs to be reminded that some of their viewers still watch because they want to learn to cook. Too much road and restaurant shows.
I am disappointed in the Food Network and America for choosing this as their star. I do not watch food network for some girl to shake her tits... the Top Chefs of food network pretty sure they don't eat at hooters. I am disgusted with the choices they have made the past few years as food network stars. I am glad I do not see them on there that often. I may not watch anymore or lay off the channel considering that they are ok with boob shaker and sandwhich king who came across to me as somone who laughs every time he farts. UGH already enough hillbillies and honey boo boo and crap on TV now they are on Food Network
Go Hillbillies! Kentucky proud.....

Overall Experience
Quality stay for a last second stop
ByDoug 34
February 17, 2015
Very clean, nicely located, and very convenient for a weary traveler just looking for a nice place to get some rest.
January 21, 2015
Billing for extended stay is tiered and not a firm rate. Even if you leave one hour after check out they bill you for a whole day! Their rates are expensive.
Weekly room cleaning is often missed.
Maintenance took 3 days to replace a malfunctioning office chair in suite.
The best hotel staff ever!
January 14, 2015
No matter what I needed or what stupid question I had, the ENTIRE staff at this Candlewood was great!! Never saw a sad face or heard a grumpy sound from anyone! Always, smiling, cheerful and anxious to make my stay perfect! I was especially impressed by Sophia at the front desk and by Bill, the General Manager....what a couple of jewels to have on staff!! Thanks for making a very long business stay feel like home!!
Great Facility

Nice and clean facility. I like the suite concept with the full kitchen. Worked well for traveling with a nursing baby.

Collector's DeskLocal AdministrationRepresentativesKey LinksPress ReleasesContact UsDisclaimerFisheries University Joint Director [Fisheries] |
Fish Marketing Societies (FMS)Micro-Enterprise Development through SHGsFish Marketing Societies (FMS) and micro-enterprise development through SHGs will be promoted through a programme by International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD), banks and the government to address the livelihood needs of coastal communities. The Rs. 299-crore project will be spread over eight years and available for the six coastal districts of Nagapattinam, Villupuram, Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Cuddalore and Kanyakumari. Among them, Nagapattinam will receive about Rs. 48 crore for its projects. Speaking to The Hindu, Project Officer, Magalir Thittam, who is also in-charge of the IFAD project, said that seven Cluster Resource Centres (CRC) would be set up in the seven coastal blocks of the district from October 16. These CRCs would be manned by a co-ordinator, a facilitator and a business promoter. NGOs would also be roped in to spread awareness among people and work with the government on various projects, Ms. Suryakala said. Two NGOs, Sevalaya and Society of DMI, had been identified as facilitating NGOs for the projects, she said. District Collector said that the emphasis would be on providing them employment and financial security through FMSs and by encouraging new micro-enterprises. We need to build self-reliant coastal communities who are resilient to shocks and can manage their livelihoods in a sustainable manner. This programme will provide these people means to achieve this end and also create infrastructure for sanitation, community development and enterprise development, he said. While IFAD will provide nearly 44 per cent of the funds required, the rest will be obtained from banks and micro-finance institutions, and the government, with the beneficiary contributing 15 per cent of the total cost. The Rural Development Department, Tamil Nadu Corporation for Development of Women, Revenue Department, and the departments of fisheries, agriculture and animal husbandry will provide support to the project. Prawn Feed FarmINGIt will reduce expenditure of prawn farm owners while providing employment in the district says Collector. Nearly 1,283 prawn farms are registered in Nagappattinam district and almost all of them depend on imported feed. The opening of Bismi Feeds will reduce the costs of prawn farm owners while also providing employment in the district, Collector M. Jayaraman said here on Saturday. Speaking at the inauguration of the plant at Perunthottam village in Sirkazhi taluk, the Collector said that the company should follow up on the Rs. 2-crore investment on the plant with investment in research to ensure quality control and protect the environment. Boost entrepreneurial spirits He said that similar farms needed to be established to make prawns affordable in the domestic market. This would also boost the entrepreneurial spirit in the district, he added. S.A. Ali, Principal Scientist, Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture (CIBA), said that CIBA had tested the prawn feed and found that it reduced water pollution while increasing the rate of prawn growth. Bismi Feeds, established in 2006, uses technology from CIBA under a private-public partnership (PPP) programme. S. Ali Hussain, managing director, Bismi Feeds, said that 85 per cent of prawn feed was being supplied by a single multinational company, while the rest was supplied by an Indian company using foreign technology. The company has a production capacity of 3,000 tonnes per year, while the total requirement for the state was 12,000-16,000 tonnes a year. S. Ayyappan, deputy director-general, Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR), presented the first packet of the feed to the Collector, who accepted it on behalf of the farm owners. He later distributed packets of the feed to the farm owners. CIBA director A.G. Ponniah, K. Ambashankar, and Assistant Director, Fisheries, P. Umakanthan, participated. |

I just picked up a new LCR .357. Can anyone recommend what rounds will work best in this gun?
This is a discussion on What type of ammo does the new LCR .357 like? within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I just picked up a new LCR .357. Can anyone recommend what rounds will work best in this gun?...
I just picked up a new LCR .357. Can anyone recommend what rounds will work best in this gun?
Are you speaking about literal functionality and reliability, or ballistically? Function-wise all rounds are pretty much 100% reliable in a revolver, and as to which ammo is the best ballistic choice, just pick something you can control, like .38 special + P.
"Brilliant. So now we got a huge guy theory, and a serial crusher theory. Top notch. What's your name?" - Paul Smecker
I don't think the LCR cares much about ammo but prepare to give a firm relaxed shake.
An LCR won't sort out MOA at 7 yards. Any premium brand .357 mag HP in the 125-158 gr. range should be fine. I am partial to Federal in wheel guns and prefer nickle plated cases. After 50 rounds break in, clean the pistol well, be sure the chambers and bore are clean and dry (no oil or solvent left there) and fire, at the least, 3 cylinders full in fairly fast cadence of what ever SD ammo you go with. Spent cases must drop free with just a sharp tap on the rod and fresh rounds should drop home of their own weight from the speed loader and/or no problem pushing them home from a strip if that is what you use.
The manufactures all load to SAAMI specs but use different powder blends with different pressure peaks along the ignition time line, you may have some rough spots in your chambers or tighter/ looser than normal cylinder face gap.
In more words a brand the falls in/drops out of my 4" Trooper may make for difficult extraction in your LCR and vice versa.
Who is John Galt?
Sometimes there's justice, sometimes there's just us...
When political power is up for grabs, personal liberty is usually one of the first casualties
My LCR .357 mag. takes any brand of .357 ammo and any .38 or .38+P I put in it. Ballistically, it all depends on what you are shooting at.
I agree with GunGeezer about the .357 LCR diet. However, be sure you can handle it. It does have a stout recoil with .357 loads in it. With .38's it is a joy to shoot. I also have the .38 version LCR and absolutely love it. Best shooting .38 snub I've ever shot. I have the new .22LR LCR on layaway right now. Going to be picking it up in the next week or two.

I've shot various 38's, DPX 38+P, Gold Dot short barrell 357's. I've gotten the tightest groups with the Gold Dots.
Heavy weight bullets in high pressure loads WILL likely cause problems of crimp jump.
Personal experience with armscor 158gr JHP. This is hot stuff with a heavy bullet.
Two shots and cylinder locked up because bullet "prairie dogged" out the chamber mouth.
This happened twice, first time it was on the left side and I was able to open the cylinder,
second time it was on the right side and the gun jammed up and I could not open the cylinder.
Here is what the manual states:
1. At a range or other suitable location, fully load your revolver with the
ammunition you wish to test in accordance with the safety and loading
instructions in this manual.
2. Fire four of the five rounds in accordance with the safety and firing
instructions in this manual.
3. Unload the four fired cases and the unfired round in accordance with the
safety and unloading instructions in this manual. Closely inspect the
unfired round for signs that the bullet has moved forward out of the case.
For jacketed and lead bullets with a cannelure or crimp groove, check to
see if the bullet has moved forward enough so that the case mouth is no
longer located in the bullet cannelure or crimp groove. For lead bullets
without a cannelure or crimp groove, there should be no detectable
movement of the bullet. If the bullet has moved as just described, do not
use that brand of tested ammunition, and repeat this test with another
brand until one is found that the bullet does not unseat during this test.
On the infrequent occasions that I carry my LCR, it's loaded with Winchester 145gr. STHPs!
LEOSA Qualified: Semi-auto and revolver.
The LCR .357 likes it all but what I like for it is 38 Special 158 grain LSWCHP for carry.What type of ammo does the new LCR .357 like?
"There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you." William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)
Best Choices for Self Defense Ammunition
In a gun that light I believe I'd use a jacketed .38+P load of some kind. If I used .357 it would likely be a medium power load like the Gold Saber. Checking for bullets that jump the crimp is good advice no matter what load you choose.
Try not to screw up so bad they name the screw up after you. (Station 15 saying)
NRA Certifed Instructor
I find Hornady CD, Remington Golden Sabre, anything with a Barnes Expander (all copper) bullet, all in .357 mag to have a manageable recoil. Full House rounds feel like someone just hit my hand with a sledgehammer.

Best Waist Exercises to Get a Sexy, Sculpted Waistline!
For something called the "love" handle, is there anything hated more than a pair of flabby love handles?
Why do they call it that anyways? I can't think of one person who loves their "love" handles…
Love handles are an accumulation of excess fat on the sides of the abdominals.
Next to the lower stomach area, the waist and love handles is the biggest problem spot on the stomach. Once the excess fat fills the front, lower abdominal region to capacity. It starts spilling over to the waist and love handles (Yikes!)!
So, no one likes having a pair of flabby love handles, or a fat waist. It's annoying, unattractive, and makes you very self-conscious.
For men, it means not having the confidence to take off their shirt or do anything that involves showing their skin like going to the beach.
And, for women it means not being able to wear their favorite pair of jeans for fear their love handles will show, or their "muffin tops" will pop out. Or, being able to wear their favorite crop tops or belly shirts, as it will also expose their flabby love handles and waist.
But, it's not just all about looks, as having a bulging waistline can also have an impact on your health. A waistline of 35 inches or more increases women's risk of heart disease and diabetes. And, a waistline of larger than 40 inches increases the chance of heart disease and diabetes for men.
Love handles are a traditionally tough area to target. Unless you play tennis, the obliques are not used often in daily life. Fortunately, working the obliques with obliques exercises slims the waist and trims love handles.
Remember though, you also have to eat a sensible diet in order to shed excess cushioning. All the oblique exercises in the world won't do a thing if you eat foods high in fats and refined carbohydrates, or if you don't engage in daily cardio exercise.
In other words, there is no such thing as spot training. You have to burn fat with a sensible diet, and cardio activity, period. As well as strength training, which will speed up your metabolism to burn more fat!
But, what are the best waist exercises to sculpt your waist? Before getting to the waist and obliques exercises, a few reminders:
Remember to take two or three seconds to rise, hold for one or two seconds, then take at least two or three seconds to lower.
Perform one set--or 15 repetitions--of a given exercise. If that's too strenuous, simply do as many high-quality reps as you can. Initially do three sets per exercise, as you progress, feel free to do more sets.
Remember: quality, not quantity. Your abdominal does all the lifting. For a more effective workout, don't come all the way down at the bottom of each rep.
For the complete list of the obliques exercises tips, go to the ab workout tips page.
As you'll recall, some of the exercises that work the upper and lower abdominus rectus also target the obliques...
- Bicycle
- Captain's Chair
- Hip Lift
- Corkscrew
- Declined Torso Twist
- Crossovers Obliques Exercises
- Reverse Crunches

Conclusion of Waist Exercises
Love handles are a build-up of excess fat on the sides of the stomach caused by an overindulgence of fatty and refined foods, and a lack of exercise.
It's also due to exercise, because the first step many people take to reduce their love handles is with waist exercises. Big mistake...
Because you can do all the waist exercises in the world, even the best waist exercises. But, if you don't get enough cardio and strength training exercise consistently, and if you eat refined and fatty foods everyday. Then even the best waist exercise to handle love handles, won't be able to handle them!
So, have no fear, you will make your love handles disappear! Because by following these tips, you'll kiss the "love" on those love handles good-bye!
For more tips to get rid of your love handles, check out Mike Geary's book The Truth About Six Pack Abs. Many of the exercises he talks about in his book are extremely effective to tone your ab core and love handles.
Lawrence Ban is the author of http://www.best-abs-exercises.com -- a site that offers a variety of the best ab exercise routines to get a six-pack or flat abs. Includes workout and nutritional tips to burn stomach fat fast.

Multiple Piano Note Identification Using a Spectral Matching Method with Derived Patterns
[Engineering Reports] The success of polyphonic detection varies depending on the instrument. Different approaches have been proposed. Piano polyphonic detection is particularly difficult. A special approach to detecting piano chords is described. Using a spectral pattern-matching method, chords containing up to four notes have been identified successfully. Chords throughout the complete tonal range (from octave 1 to octave 7) have been tested and identified. Patterns are generated during a training step that uses an acoustical model of a piano.

Essential Tips About Working With Wood
Follow all instructions for your project. It may appear like short cuts can be taken or that steps can be eliminated, but you'll see why they were there in the end result. These directions are made to help you make the best quality project.
Always follow the owner's manual when using one of your woodworking tools. Not knowing the manual's recommendations can result in injury or failure of your tool, and you surely do not want either of these to happen to you. If you have not yet read your manuals do so right away!
Don't neglect sanding your wood. Sanding may be tedious, but the quality of your workmanship will suffer if you leave the scrapes and nicks where they are. Not to mention, those scratches and nicks absorb more stain and paint, making them stand out more, and making your work look shoddy.
Glue can cause nasty stains on your finished work. You can eliminate stains easily using a piece of tape. First, clamp your wood together without any glue. Put a piece of tape over the joint. Cut the tape on the joint with a sharp knife. You can now clamp the wood together with glue and any excess will ooze onto the tape, not the wood.
Wet the lumber before you sand. The moisture will cause the grain to come up. This could help eliminate fine scratches. Your final product will be very professional looking. It, quite possibly, could save you work in the long run, too. Make sure that your work area is always clean and organized. It is easiest to work when you know where everything and you do not have to work around a mess. To keep your area nice at all times you should put things away as you work and discard waste as it is produced. Always check your tools before you begin using them. Woodworking with a faulty or overused tool can easily lead to a serious injury or destruction of your materials. To make sure that this does not happen to you take the time to thoroughly inspect your tools from top to bottom.
Buy some scrap wood and use it to practice on. Scrap wood is really cheap, and it makes for great practice wood. Use it to try new skills that you're learning. Practice with new tools on it. Make your mistakes here, not when it counts. You'll be happy you did in terms of budget.
Check out your local library for books on woodworking. You will likely find books that contain tips, special skills or even step-by-step guides that can take you from start to finish on a project. A library can be wonderful source of information that people tend to forget when they are looking for knowledge, so do not let this resource slip your mind.
If you don't want glue to stain the piece of wood you're working on, it's a good idea to use tape first. Clamp together the two pieces you want to glue, and then put tape on the joints. Then use a sharp knife to cut the piecs apart. That way, when you glue together your wood, excess glue will get on tape and not the wood. Always wear proper eye protection before using any power tools. Wood chips can fly and stab you in the eye resulting in a trip to the emergency room. To protect yourself wear safety glasses that have side shield to help protect your eyes from flying debris produced from using power tools.
As was mentioned earlier, the tips learned here will assist a woodworker of any level. It's pretty much a given that you just read something that you can use to help in your next project. Now get started! Be safe when you first start out in woodworking. Wear the proper safety clothing, including goggles. You may feel silly, but you are dealing with sharp tools and splintering wood. These are things that can cause significant injuries to even the most seasoned woodworker. So be safe, and make sure all that are around you are safe too. When working with wood, consider the grade of wood you are using. Wood can be costly and it is not always necessary to use a high-cost wood. If budget is a concern, look at the durability and strength of different woods that may come in a little cheaper and still work for your project.
Try to learn as much you can about the new technologies available to you for your woodworking needs. Because of advances in precision tools in recent years you can likely find the things that you need so that you can do a perfect job every time that you tackle a woodworking project.
Always be on the lookout for good woodworking tips. If you meet professionals, ask them for their best tips. If you find a magazine chock full with tips, pick it up so that you can keep it in your archive. Even record TV shows that have woodworking in them to glean any tips you my find there.

At Gnomedex, Chris asked the community to try using star tags on their tweets in order to create an internal (and external) way of rating (and thus liking or disliking) the content of the tweet. Some people began adding star tags to serious and silly ideas. But I noticed 24 hours later, star tagging had dropped off the radar. [Addition: I guess some of us are baffled as to WHY people won't use them, even though the conference demo was actually humorous, and people temporarily adopted its use].
BTW, *9! asked Aug 23 '10 at 16:59 VideoNurse |
I can't say I'm the biggest Twitter user - but I've never heard of Star Tags before. I can't say I've ever seen a tweet using one. I looked through Twitter's help page and they explained @ & # useage, but didn't see anything there about using *. Maybe that's why people don't use them too often? answered Aug 26 '10 at 13:40 Foxumon Agreed (out of upvotes for today, sorry) -- I'm a heavy Twitter user (@Ageekmom) and I've never seen a star tag, ever, in a tweet on Twitter. I don't even seen them in Chris' tweetstream, but I follow a lot of people and maybe he did during Gnomedex, itself?
(Aug 26 '10 at 19:38)
ageekmom ♦
This is the first time I've heard of using star tags. I'm not a mega-tweeter, but I do visit several times a day. I don't follow a lot of tech people, but I follow a lot of PR and social media types, so I would have thought it would have come up before. It's an interesting idea. answered Aug 27 '10 at 00:14 Taminar |
If someone explains Star Tags to me and how to use them I will answered Aug 27 '10 at 00:17 HWLights92 |
As far as I know, Chris tried to get people to use them a few weeks back (so to the best of my knowledge, Chris started the whole star tagging idea). In my opinion, it's really unnecessary. If you like a tweet, you can favorite it or retweet it. The only way I see star tagging being used is on a user's own tweets, and can you really trust that a user rated a tweet highly solely because the content was good? answered Aug 27 '10 at 02:13 eddieringle |

No need to post this; I'm just bringing an error to your attention.
The referenced Super Bowl win by Kansas City over Minnesota was actually the last AFL-NFL game (in the 1969-70 season). The first all-NFL Super Bowl was the following season -- and while the champion Baltimore Colts did indeed represent the AFC, they were one of three "old NFL" clubs placed there to balance the conferences.

This where the flash should stand...
11/09/2013Breguet creations combine with elegance a clever blend of avant-garde technology and ancestral hand-crafted expertise. The model Classique Chronométrie 7727 is no exception and inherits the brand DNA. Behind a neo-classically inspired style with pure lines - engine-turned dial, polished steel hands with the Breguet open tip or finely fluted case -, this timepiece is a cluster of innovations. It integrates the first magnetic pivot ever invented, which, together with a high frequency of 10 Hz, makes this watch one of the most precise in the world.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Classique Chronométrie had great success at the occasion of a special evening in Jakarta, Indonesia. On the program, cocktail animated by a famous local jazz band and private dinner in a Michelin-starred restaurant transformed for the occasion into a showroom dedicated to the finest Breguet timepieces.

Half of the 4.7 million tractors in the U S. today aren't equipped with rollover protection structures (ROPS). If they were, injuries and fatalities could be prevented and millions of dollars saved, says Michael Wolf, American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) Agricultural Branch administrator.
Tractor rollovers are the single deadliest type of injury incident on farms. Usually, older tractors are missing ROPS, usually cab or frame compartment structures intended to protect operators if vehicles overturn, says Wolf, who, with his family, owns and operates a small farm in Maryland.
"Retrofitting an older tractor with a ROPS creates a protective zone around the operator when a rollover occurs. When used with a seatbelt, which is recommended, the ROPS will prevent the operator from being thrown from the protective zone and crushed from an overturning tractor or from equipment mounted or hooked to the tractor."
The fact that children are often present in the workplace is unique to the agriculture industry, Wolf notes. ROPS not only help protect farmers but the families who live, play and work on the farm.
"We are currently working with local, regional and national 4-H outreach to help build awareness of the unique issues within the ag industry and to provide adequate training. This is an important international issue as well, as emerging countries continue to grow and the demand for food continues to increase worldwide as does production," he says.
The ag industry has the highest rate of occupational fatalities, about 32 per 100,000 employed people or eight times the national average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the Northeast alone, tractor incidents account for 55-60% of farm fatalities and up to two-thirds of those are due to overturns. Federal officials note that the elimination of overturn fatalities could result in more than $100 million in annual savings.
So where can a farmer turn to retrofit his or her tractor with a ROPS, and what does it cost?
Three types of ROPS frames are available – a two-post frame, a four-post frame and an enclosed ROPS cab. Even foldable ROPS are available for tractors housed in smaller spaces. The cost runs around $765 per ROPS. Many programs have been developed to, not only help farmers find ROPS, but also to provide rebates to offset the cost. The Northeast Center for Agricultural and Occupational Health has a New York ROPS Rebate program that helps make the installation of ROPS easier and affordable. It is now expanding to several Northeastern states, including Vermont, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. In Virginia, Iowa and North Carolina, state Farm Bureau chapters have organized ROPS programs.
"We urge farmers to do this before growing seasons begin," Wolf says. He also strongly suggests adding a seat belt along with a ROPS. The combination has been estimated to be 99% effective in preventing death or serious injury in the event of a tractor rollover, according to National Ag Safety Database figures.

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores RxImpact grassroots program sent action alerts to pharmacy advocates in Delaware and Louisiana regarding on state legislation on biosimilars and immunizations.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ARLINGTON, Va. – The National Association of Chain Drug Stores RxImpact grassroots program sent action alerts to pharmacy advocates in Delaware and Louisiana regarding on state legislation on biosimilars and immunizations.
NACDS said Wednesday that in Delaware, RxIMPACT called on industry advocates to send messages to state legislators to oppose S.B. 118 if the bill continues to require doctors to be notified in instances of biosimilar substitution.
"It is critical you take action today before the Delaware House votes on Senate Bill 118 that could impose physician notification requirements on the substitution of biosimilar products deemed interchangeable by the Food and Drug Administration. NACDS RxImpact is calling on you to tell your legislators if these physician notification requirements are not eliminated from the bill in the amendment process, legislators must oppose SB 118," the Delaware action alert stated.
"Imposing physician notification requirements for the substitution of biosimilars would be redundant, as prescribers determine whether it is appropriate for pharmacists to substitute when issuing a prescription," the alert said. "Physician notification requirements that make the interchange of biosimilars more burdensome will only serve to limit the practice of substitution of more cost-effective biosimilar products. If enacted, this bill will impede greater savings for Delaware patients, health insurers and other third party payors, including Medicaid, while protecting the profits of innovator biotech firms that will financially benefit from statutory barriers making the interchange of biosimilars. Act today to halt these physician notification requirements with the amendment."
In Louisiana, RxImpact asked advocates to send messages to state representatives to support S.B. 600, a bill to expand pharmacists' authority to administer any immunization without a prescription or medical order to anyone 14 years and older.
"With your help, the pharmacy community could win expanded authority to administer immunizations in Louisiana. Make the NACDS RxImpact today by contacting your state representative to urge them to support SB 600 by Sen. [Fred] Mills," the Louisiana alert said. "If you are a pharmacist, intern or pharmacy student, or have operations in Louisiana, it is critical you contact your state representatives today."

New Found Glory's Jordan Pundik Asks: What Does Sticks and Stones Mean to You?
To know that it's been ten years since the release of New Found Glory's album Sticks and Stones is completely surreal. Not only for the band, but also for the fans. Namely, the bulk of us who are nearing our thirties. We can remember a time that feels not so far off, when we were still teenagers going to see the band play at venues like Club Q and even a few high school parking lots, belting out the lyrics to "The Blue Stare" and "It Never Snows in Florida." Those days may be long gone, but New Found Glory is letting fans relive them as they embark on a tour in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the album that changed their career.

In a nostalgia heavy conversation, New Found Glory's singer Jordan Pundik spoke to the New Times about what Sticks and Stones means to him, the fans, and how things changed for the band over the last 15 years.
New Times: What does Sticks and Stones mean to you?
Jordan Pundik: Whoa. Well... [Laughs.] What does it mean to you? No, I'm just kidding. I guess, for me the fact that it's been out as long as it has been is pretty crazy. I mean, we've been a band for fifteen years, and it doesn't even feel like the album came out ten years ago. And because we tour so much, I get to meet a lot of people, and talk to a lot of our fans, and so many of them tell us that Sticks and Stones was a big record for them. Especially people that are our age, they grew up on that record.
That's weird to say, because I'm not old at all. [Laughs] I recorded it when I was 19 or 20, I think. So, it was a big record and also bands have cited that record as being influential which is very cool and flattering. I think doing this tour and playing the songs is a cool thing. So, to me that's the biggest thing, that it's been an influential record on a lot of people. It was a big album for the fans, and for us.
Do you consider the album to be a major turning point for New Found Glory?
Yeah. That was kind of what brought us over that hump. We were building and building, had a lot of hype, touring a lot, playing dumps, playing big venues and small venues, sleeping on floors then to hotels, being in vans and then in a tour bus, all this back and forth. That record came out, and it was this crazy hump that we got over. Before that we were doing a lot of touring, including with Blink-182, and that really helped also. It wasn't until that Sticks and Stones came out that it gave us that push, it got us over the hump.
What would you say is your favorite song off the album?
I would say for me, my favorite is probably "Sonny" only because it's a slower song, people are stoked when that song starts. It's closest to me because it's about my grandfather when he passed away and the song has helped people when they have lost someone. People are always coming up to me and telling me how that song has helped them cope with a loss of a loved one or a friend.

text: SOFIA, Bulgaria -- The recently-appointed cabinet of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov decided on Wednesday (August 12th) to set up a council headed by the finance minister that will oversee EU funds. It will also include the ministers of interior, regional development, transport, agriculture, labour, economy, environment and foreign affairs. The council will be responsible for all EU-funded programmes, including pre-accession ones. In addition, a secretariat will be established within the finance ministry, which will handle operational responsibilities related to co-ordination and will advise government institutions about the absorption of EU funds. The Union froze funding for months after uncovering pervasive fraud and mismanagement in Bulgaria. (Dnevnik, BNT, Mediapool - 12/08/09)

Hurlbert, 2 other legislative candidates fail to make ballot
Posted By Lynn Bartels On June 11, 2010 @ 3:28 pm In Colorado Legislature,Colorado Politics | 7 Comments
Eagle County District attorney Mark Hurlbert [3] failed to make the ballot in his Senate race, leaving Tim Leonard [4] as the lone Republican in the primary.
Hurlbert needed 1,000 signatures from Republicans in Senate District 16 [5]. He collected 1,118 but only 394 were deemed valid, according to the Secretary of State office.
Democrat Blake Harrison in House District 7 and Republican Raymond Keyawa in House District 59 also failed to qualify for the ballot.
Hurlbert had a tight time frame in which to collect signatures. He failed to get 30 percent of the delegate vote outright at the district assembly last month in Loveland. He received 29 percent of the delegate vote, while Leonard, of Jefferson County [6], took 71 percent.
Hurlbert earlier said his opponents misrepresented his gun record at the assembly, which is one reason he wanted to try to petition onto the ballot. But he only had four days to collect the signatures.
The seat currently is held by Sen. Dan Gibbs [7], D-Silverthorne, who opted to run for Summit County commissioner this fall. The Democratic nominee is Gilpin County Commissioner Jeanne Nicholson [8].
Hurlbert's supporters include Sens. Josh Penry [9] of Grand Junction and Al White [10] of Hayden. Leonard is backed by Sens. Ted Harvey [11] of Highlands Ranch and Kevin Lundberg [12] of Berthoud. Leonard also is supported by the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, the group Hurlbert said distorted his gun record.
Senate District 16 covers Summit, Grand, Gilpin, Clear Creek and portions of Boulder and Jefferson counties.

Bad Website Ideas - What Makes a Bad Website
Website Ideas
And a staggeringly large number of sites offend, make nothing, or frustrate the user into leaving.
What makes a bad website, is failure to do what it set out to do!
The goal of a website is to sell something, persuade, invite, and attract people to come in and spend some time within its confines.
To achieve that goal, a designer must provide efficient function that works nearly every time. They must avoid confusion and unnecessary delays. They must not use elements which distract from the purpose of the pages, or which annoy so badly that the user cannot stick around without developing a headache or triggering seizures! The site must invite, offer, and then deliver in the most effective manner.
An ugly site that functions will beat a gorgeous one that doesn't, any day!
A simple site that is useful and logical will outperform a complex one every time.
A predictable and efficient but unimaginative site will grow more than a creative but confusing site, without exception.
Every site will have a problem at one time or another. The problems listed here are ones that render a page unusable or ineffective, or so annoying that they do not leave a good impression with the visitor.
We're not talking about the nit-picky little things that professional web designers sit around being snobbish about. We are not concerned with minor coding issues, or the debate over whether your site should use CSS or plain HTML. We aren't worried about whether your pages are absolutely as professionally designed as they could be.
No, we are talking about the glaring errors that are so bad that we wonder whether the site builder even LOOKED at the site, or tried to USE it! We mean those features that are SO annoying that you just know that the site owner never bothered to think anything beyond the fact that they just learned a new trick and are determined to show that they can use it!
We invite newbies to learn here, so they can avoid the problems that will stop them cold. And we invite practiced website users to let us know if we left out something that drives you nuts!

Oregon head coach George Horton:
Oregon catcher Shaun Chase:
Oregon third baseman Mitchell Tolman:
Oregon pitcher Brando Tessar:
EUGENE, Ore.– One week after getting swept by Oregon State in the Civil War, the Duck baseball team showed its resiliency once again by completing a sweep of Arizona at PK Park.
Shaun Chase hit a grand slam in the seventh inning, his eighth home run of the year and third of the weekend, to cap off a 5-1 win over the Wildcats on Sunday. The Ducks also got a solo home run from third baseman Mitchell Tolman in the sixth inning that gave UO a 1-0 lead.
Oregon senior starter Brando Tessar was stellar, pitching seven shutout innings, scattering three hits while striking out six. Tessar extended his scoreless streak 22 1/3 innings.
Next up for the Ducks is a midweek, non-conference meeting with the Beavers at PK Park on Tuesday.

Read about the experiences of 11 Liberty University students in Rome, Italy who participated in a faculty-led study tour.
For other Study Abroad options check out our current Signature Summer programs.
"I can talk about Martin Luther going to Rome and climbing a set of steps on his knees (the same steps Jesus walked up in Pilate's house) — I can talk about that in class and it's a really dramatic story. He prays on every step. … But then to take the students to those steps and to see they're still filled with people going up the steps to this day, on their knees, and saying a prayer, and to talk through it while they're there, and show how it's still important in Roman Catholic lore to today, it's a completely different experience than talking about it in class." ~ Dr. Mann, Professor of History
"Finishing up my master's degree over there was wonderful; it was a culmination of everything I've studied. My highlight was going and seeing where history actually took place. … You're living in a city thousands and thousands of years old and it doesn't quite click until you're there."
~ Amber, Class of 2011
"Studying abroad has been an adventure of a lifetime. I cannot begin to explain how much I have learned, heard, seen, tasted, and experienced during my time overseas, and it is something that I would never take back. This has been the most unique opportunity I have ever been given and I am so thankful that I stepped out, took a chance, and came to England. I have been personally grown and challenged in so many ways, and I hope to come back to America with a whole new outlook on life; implementing all the lessons I have learned."

"Oxford is like no other academic city in the world. It is more than just a classroom experience it is about rubbing shoulders over coffee and food with some of the world's brightest and most promising minds. There are many wonderful places to experience living abroad in a foreign culture, but nowhere is the experience even close to Oxford. Oxford puts the word "study" in study abroad."
"The tutorial is the quintessential Oxford education. Reading aloud an essay held with a shaking sweating hand to a brilliant tutor is not something that is easily forgotten. A tutor sits and listens to what I have say and forces me to think and defend in a way no classroom can ever facilitate. It is about more than learning, it is about thinking and examining one's beliefs."
~ Peter, Class of 2012
Read about our current efforts in Rwanda as we send students on academic service learning study tours to learn more about the nation and how they can help as a Champion for Christ. Read recent news article
"Having the opportunity to learn at Liberty University then actually practice what we've learned in an international setting is an amazing experience. The people of Rwanda have gone through a lot and Liberty has been able to form relationships with villages that leave a lasting impact. During our time in Rwanda we were living out our faith and using the skills we learned in the classroom."
~ Kevin, Class of 2012
"My study abroad experience has been truly one of the best times of my life. I dreamed about studying in another country since I can remember and I was finally able to do just that. Living in another culture, meeting new people and being able to travel to places you have always heard about and experience it for yourself. These are just a few things that truly make the study abroad experience remarkable in that you learn so much without even knowing it. It could be through having one of many conversations with a new friend that grow up in another country and sees the world differently than you. It could also be the fact that you are going to new places and learning about the history, the culture and the people. In any case the study abroad experience is more than just going to school in another country; it's a new perspective on life and the world."

Why read Jules Crittenden? Because of minirants like this:
One of my minor rants about high school reading lists is the inclusion of "Catcher" and "Lord of the Flies." It just seems off target to enshrine the more ridiculous and baser aspects of adolescence by making them the subject of "literature" that's institutionally enshrined for decades in the only reading list that most Americans have in common. I like "Romeo and Juliet," with its message of "Adolescent excess gets you dead. Grow up already" and "Go to First Aid class and learn to take a pulse."
If I were the kind of guy who could get away with saying, "You go, girl," then I would.
Well, and also if Jules was a girl.
Seriously, though, the only reason people still read Salinger is so the government can track the whereabouts of its secret brainwashed assassins. Unless you've got a better theory?

I am proud to report that I have never read Catcher. I was not so lucky as to escape Lord of the Flies though.

I tend to prefer Paul Graham's take on Lord of the Flies, actually:
If you leave a bunch of eleven-year-olds to their own devices, what you get is Lord of the Flies. Like a lot of American kids, I read this book in school. Presumably it was not a coincidence. Presumably someone wanted to point out to us that we were savages, and that we had made ourselves a cruel and stupid world. This was too subtle for me. While the book seemed entirely believable, I didn't get the additional message. I wish they had just told us outright that we were savages and our world was stupid.

Having just lectured a bunch of my freshmen about the canon and what makes a work canonical, I extend an invitation to all of you to attend a class. I don't know who was teaching you English literature, but they seem to have missed the point. If you think catcher and lotf are about silly things adolescents do, I suggest you reread both works.

I was assigned Catcher and Peace and Flies in high school. Didn't finish any of them. If the teacher ever made a point about what the books were about, I didn't finish listening to him. I suspect I had already read more widely by that time than the teacher ever had.

A friend of mine cynically concluded that Catcher in the Rye was so popular because of its few pages. It took little time to actually read and write a book review. This allowed students to spend more time doing other things—like getting in trouble.

I hope Salinger is rotting in hell. He was a lecherous old bastard who poured lye on Joyce Maynard's budding intellect.

I thought Catcher was beautifully crafted, but had mediocre content. Franny and Zoey was Salinger's real masterpiece.
Still, Heinlein and Asimov did a lot more to help me grow up (insofar as that ever happened). It's better to read about young men growing courage and intelligence than to read about their whiney existential angst.

I have a hard time deciding what was more painful in high school, "Catcher" or "Death of a Salesman" (which I argued was a comedy, not tragedy, since there was no heroism to fall from, and every character ended up better off at the end). It seemed as though Salinger's story was approaching a point asymptotically – approaching, but never actually reaching.
I suppose the sophomoric writing style was designed to capture teenage angst. There is nothing interesting about teenage angst. Everyone goes through a stage where they are whiny and think no one has ever suffered as much as them. It's a natural part of development, but so is an infant's regurgitation – that doesn't mean it's intellectually meaningful.

I liked "Catcher in the Rye" from High School…never read "Lord of the Flies" but had to read James Joyce's "Ulysses" and "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man". I'll take Salinger.

Nathan, Asimov never was a good writer, nor was he a good storyteller. If you would like examples, Roger Zelazny & Jack Vance are good writers, while Jerry Pournelle and H. Beam Piper are very good storytellers, as is Alexandre Dumas. Poul Anderson is both, as is Terry Pratchett.
Come to think of it, J.K. Rowling qualifies as a decent storyteller herself.
After that there are older schools which would include Arthur Conan Doyle, Kipling, and Tolkien.
Now that I reflect, I found Tolstoy a more compelling writer than Salinger or Joyce. Never was subjected to Hemingway, but I've been told he's pretty good.

No, Asimov wasn't a good storyteller. Especially not at first. But he told good stories! He had a great imagination, and the mind of a scientist. Makes up for prosaic prose, in my opinion. Great writers and great storytellers are one thing, but great stories are harder to come by.

Maybe it's because I grew up in Texas, but we had a somewhat different reading lists. Never was required to read Catcher or Flies, though I did try to read Flies after school but never finished it.
We read stuff like Brave New World and Hound of the Baskervilles. We also had to read The Scarlet Letter, which is a punishment that should be strictly reserved for asshole high school jocks.
And I'm with Casey for the most part. And he mentioned some authors I'm not familiar with, so new reading to check out. Yay!

I may be eviscerated for this, but Hemingway is mostly "meh". Except for "Old Man and the Sea", his writing is dreck. My father was an English Professor at the university level for 30 years, and actually preferred Hemingway's shorts over his novels. I think EH didn't have the patience to craft a novel, whereas his short stories fit perfectly within his attention span.
The reason OMatS is so good is that Hemingway actually focused on the art of writing for an extended period of time (after getting attacked repeatedly by his literary critics for churning out crap, he set out to prove them wrong). He reportedly rewrote portions of the novel over 50 times. And it shows. It is a masterpiece. Had he given the same amount of care to other said masterpieces, like "The Sun Also Rises", "A Farewell to Arms", etc., I think his posthumous reputation as a great novelist would be much more deserved. As it is, he was really nothing more than a hack (not that there is necessarily anything wrong with that!), who happened to catch people's attention.
Fire in the hole! *ducks*

As an aside, but in much the same vein, I believe that some "classics" are wasted on high school students since many times they don't have the life experiences to identify with the characters. My personal example is "The Great Gatsby", I was forced to "read" it in high school, took the test, made the grade, and prompt forget all about it. In my early 30′s I rediscover it, and identified with several aspects of the characters, their motivations were clearer, the actions more understandable and in the context of many of my more recently acquired life experiences.
Looking back, I think this happens alot, students are forced to consume stories that they don't comprehend, and characters that they cant identify with. It poisons the well for the rest of their lives.
