Presume they decided three de Grandhommings within a week would be the equivalent of an ice cream headache for all concerned.
Ah, didn't realize their was another game on today. Still, Boxing day in NZ and not a single game of cricket on tv. Terrible.
Yep. It's utter, utter ****. We've got a highlights reel of the London Olympics and a replay from the Darts World Championship, but not either of the games of 20:20 cricket being played live. Ridiculous.
I'm presuming that Sky didn't realise there's a game on as it's not Friday and it's not being played under lights.
Don't worry NZ will have a Big Bash side soon.
Boy, Milne looks on course to set a record for HRV figures from a current NZ international that'll stand for years!
Wellington could declare tbf, try to get their five overs in.
I've been thinking the same about Sky, useless.
Man Milne gets tap in 20/20, just goes to show how stupid it is to only pick him for 20/20s for NZ, his worst format.
Wellington with a chance to set a record total here. Anyone know the record highest score in the HRV Cup? I'm guess around 225?
Milne...A pity this match isn't televised. I would love to here from McMillan about how great he's bowling whilst he's getting pumped at 20 rpo.
Cribb will be getting into the vault overnight, you'll find Sinclair's knock on this channel rather than mine -
Live scoring dead. Sinclair 71*, CD 108/1,nineseven overs left.

oh yes jen,a baby would just solve everything!!
are you insane??or just stupid??
and btw people,if she was wearing rob's shirt,it would look extremely big on her.that is a womans shirt.and also jen,
how do you know that they will never find anyone else?or have an even greater connection.just because you want these 2 to do things that you think they should,doesn't mean that
they are or will.so give it a rest.

It must be scary…having such a Great relationship, because if it ever ends(& I PRAY it doesn't) these two will most likely never ever find THIS kind of 'conection' ever again…& to know that & be able to keep it going in the public eye…these kids need some kind of Medal! Or at least make a Baby! ASAP! if they hurry Baby could be here by Breaking Dawn part 2, Speaking of which Hey Lionsgate(as they 'bought' Summitt) We need a Sneak Peak…HappyPeace&Love to All!
Posted at 12:08 PM on March 9, 2012
They do NOT have a good relationship! Rob refuses to be in pics with her unless he has to! A man looking for a woman to be with forever would be all over her and pic with her if for no other reason to say to other men 'She's mine, back off!' He just doesn't do that! And he Didn't go out to see her in Paris but to see Paul McCartney about a voice over, but once in Paris had to make an appearance with her. I mean he was asked to pic with her at the Vitton thing and what does he do? He DECLINED. And he's texting Katy Perry because her divorce went through. I mean Kristen has NO rack and dresses slovenly in dyke form not hot and sizzling like Perry + rack!

Why can't you just leave them alone, HL? All you're doing is giving negative people a forum to say malicious, hurtful things. Why would you want to do this to them, or to their relationship? I'm sure you, and anyone here, wouldn't appreciate it if it was your relationship being hacked to pieces, why are Rob & Kristen any different? Because they make movies? So what.
Before it was, oh they should just be and everyone would leave them alone. Well they have, and no one is leaving them alone. Now it's "Are they going to get married; Rob should propose," one day, and "Rob is cheating, poor Kristen," the next. Then you get the people who come here and attack them personally, and how easy that is to do, hiding behind a computer. I cannot imagine how frustrating it must be for them, and how difficult. Can't you just let them be? There are so many screaming for the spotlight, give it to them but leave these two alone.

Ball Kids set to join tennis stars at O2
A team of 30 youngsters had their first glimpse of a venue they will be sharing with the best tennis players in the world in just a few days time.
The search for the country's top ball kids to take part in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 began earlier this year, with the select few tennis enthusiasts whittled down from an initial pool of 2,500 entrants.
After being kitted up last week, the group of 12 to 16-year-old's were treated to a backstage tour of the venue, which will welcome the best eight singles players and doubles teams in the world from November 5, as well as a meeting with tournament director Chris Kermode.
He said this year, the hunt for the ball kids had expanded to France, where a pair of teenagers were selected for the tournament.
"Doing it in an arena like this too, it's a bit of theatre," he said.
"The court is lit like a boxing ring and there are 1,800 spectators - it will be quite special for them."
Barking teenager Abiola Adeseye, 16, said he was one of the few new recruits who was not a member of a tennis club.
"It's just something to do outside of school," he said.
"Anything to do with sports, exercise and athleticism, I just love things like that.
"I am looking forward to meeting the tennis players and being on-court with Federer, Tsonga and Murray, it's going to be amazing."
Sutton Tennis Academy player Paula Mazur, from Surrey, will take to the O2 courts fresh from her stint as a ball-girl at this year's Wimbledon.
The 14-year-old said: "We're making new friends here and just to be with the players on-court, that will be amazing meeting them all.
"My favourite is Nadal but he's not playing so that's a let-down, but I'm looking forward to Djokovic."

The animal appears to have been hungry, because it managed to get into some garbage in a yard in Magnolia Plantation.
A white bag, torn to shreds, can be seen in the pictures.

5 60 Days of AddictionNick13 | 24/05/2008 | See all Nick13's reviews (4)BTW this card only gives you 2 months of gameplay (not 3 like someone else said)... This card is very useful if you are a child and your parents dont want you to play WoW. You buy this card for only 1p more than debit card and you dont have to beg your parents to let you play! you already have 2 months of gameplay :D. The card is also very good for birthdays, christmas and just helping a friend out xD
5 Actually cheaper to buy pre-pay online, but still good.SiScott | 31/01/2010 | See all SiScott's reviews (98)Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Mobile Reviewer Well worth it, if you dont want to give bank details to Blizzard. I use these to play wow and never had any issues.But its worth mentioning that you can actually buy pay-time, from the Blizzard online store like you would a game or a dvd. You can chooe 30, 90 or 180 days worth of online gaming.It works exactly the same way as the card does except you are sent the number (which is normally on the back of the pre-pay card to scratch to reveal) in an email from Blizzard.It actually works out cheaper to buy 180 days online from Blizzard, then to buy 60 Days using a card like above.I guess its also easier on the environment and you, because you dont have a CD case to throw away. I have a few collecting up now from all the pre-payy cards ive bought in the passt.But either way, its the same process.You can just choose to pay for 60 days using a card like this, or 30,90,180 days on the Blizzard website. Neither requires you to give any bank details, except obvious card details.But its the players choice.
5 The best membership idea yet!!hellspawn666 | 31/03/2008 | See all hellspawn666's reviews (7)before i started playing warcraft about 3 months ago i was completely against the idea of having to pay a subscription of 8.99 a month, i could not afford it. but when i was browsing through the WoW game and expansion on play i saw this thime card and it's incredibly usefull! in sooo many ways-your not on a deadline each month to pay 8.99-since this is not jsut availeble online you can buy it in the shops, meaning you need't have a credit/debit card to play!-it's the perfect gift for a WoW member (like said in other reviews)-and last of all, it comes in a case, usefull if you have any loose disks lying around xDif you're a current WoW subscriber, cancel you're subscription, ur better off buying these!
5 Keeps the "other half" quiet n happy!!tweakie | 25/02/2009 | See all tweakie's reviews (2)My b/f likes playing this game, and this is best way for us to pay for it at the moment and it means he can play the game while i get peace to watch my "soaps" on tv - so we are both happy!! He likes the game, and it means its better to pay for the "playing time" in advance if you like, that way you know that you dont have to worry about funds not being in bank for whatever reason - just get the game card when we get paid, which is a few weeks before the 60 days is due to expire then bingo, sorted again!!
5 Good xmas idea!HaloFAN | 24/10/2007 | See all HaloFAN's reviews (3)Well I recently gave my brother aload of old PC games I used to play seeing as how I play the 360 and one or two online games when I have the sparetime and being busy withwork well anyway one of those games was WoW and he really got into it, However he can't really afford it each month(Like the guy before me said :p) so I was looking for something like this when I got a spare minute and came across this and thought it was perfect :)so I plan on getting him one or two of these and an expansion pack for xmas

An apparently drunk Latin man shakily leans over the barricade and begins barking rapid-fire Spanish at Adrian. Ash, the third member of the door crew, done up in drag with an aqua miniskirt and matching heels, swoops into action. "¡La linea, por favor!" he snaps at the now-cowed man. Ash tries to keep a stern face for added effect but quickly shakes his head and begins laughing: "Oh, honey, that's all the Spanish I know."
11:52 p.m.
"I'm trying to build it up little by little," says Gigi, looking out from behind the turntables of the DJ booth at the expanse of crobar's main room. The crowd, though sizable, is still gathered at the bars. The only figure on the dance floor is a young man in a wheelchair, pivoting the motorized chair back and forth while nodding his head to the rhythms roaring out of the towering speakers, disco-era cult faves such as Instant Funk's "I Got My Mind Made Up" and the eerily percussive "Voices Inside My Head" by Common Sense. "I don't want to hit them right away," Gigi adds. "It's all about setting a mood. Erick is coming up." A good opening act knows he's just there to prime the audience.
12:38 a.m.
"You wouldn't imagine you could have such a party on Monday!" Janinna Meyer hollers into Kulchur's ear in her clipped English. "It's good! Fabulous!" Yelling is the only way to be heard at the bar this close to the dance floor, which now is packed, a tangled mass of waving limbs. Meyer is here with two classmates from the Miami Ad School. They're Germans in their early twenties, just beginning their second semester of school. Kulchur asks what drew them to Back Door Bamby. Could they be celebrating Martin Luther King Day, as the "Free at Last" quotes on tonight's flyers headily announce? Meyer furrows her brow and glances apprehensively at one of her friends. "We're here for Erick Morillo," she says. They've heard him spin back in Germany. He too is "fabulous.
"There's a lot of locals here, not too many tourists," Meyer continues, pointing out one of the keys to a cool party.
And you're not a tourist? You've only been in Miami a few months.
Meyer's eyes flash red. "No! I am not a tourist! I am a local!" She storms off as her two surprised friends try to avoid eye contact with Kulchur.
1:05 a.m.
Erick Morillo hunches over a turntable, his fingers poised. The music has turned quiet. The entire club stares up at him expectantly. Behind Morillo stands Carmel Ophir, who allows this dramatic moment to linger ever so slightly. Then, like a conductor bringing down the baton, he cues a nearby lighting director. In the next choreographed instant, the room is submerged in a wash of blue light, and Morillo lets fly his first record, at a volume almost twice as loud as before.
You can feel the bass rumbling in your stomach as Morillo mixes in a record featuring crowd noise, creating the aural illusion that all of crobar is screaming in frenzied appreciation. "See how he's working the cross-fader," Ophir says admiringly as Morillo's hands dart back and forth from the three spinning turntables to an array of sliders and knobs. Of course considering that Morillo's DJ fee for his four-hour set is in the $5000 range (on top of his airfare and hotel), he'd better work that cross-fader.
2:34 a.m.
If you want to find Ken Smith, just look up. Standing well over six feet tall and with the broad shoulders and physique more commonly associated with a football player than a nightclub owner, Smith is easy to spot. There are two other co-owners, Callin Fortis and Bob Myers (the three oversee Big Time Productions, which operates twelve clubs and restaurants in Chicago), but only Smith prides himself on being a late-night fixture inside crobar.
At the moment he is standing in front of a speaker stack, surveying the bustling dance floor with a satisfied countenance that suggests a hint of smugness. Tapping his arm, Kulchur asks if he's here tonight to work or to play. Smith smiles and stoops down to speak: "I'm always working."
He leads the way to the second-floor VIP room, unused tonight, and settles in on the edge of a sofa. Kulchur is still unsteadily readjusting to the relative quiet, but Smith is practically effervescent even at this hour, a quality that makes him seem far younger than his actual age of 37.
"This isn't real; it's like putting on a stage show," he says, gesturing grandly to the room around him. Ticket-buyers demand entertainment. Put on a compelling show, and they'll come see it. That means utilizing everything from dancing midgets to outlandish costumes to create a vibrant, louche atmosphere. Three-piece suits and matching attitude aren't part of the formula.
"It takes a lot of energy, a lot of focus," he goes on. "But anybody can buy a club. There's no formal training involved. You can't go to college to study clubology!"
Although he reminds Kulchur several times that he does in fact have a college degree, Smith cites thirteen years of Chicago nightlife experience -- working his way up from bartender, doorman, and promoter to his present role -- as much more valuable. "It's eighth-grade stuff: Did my doorman spit on you? Did he say goodnight when you left? I won't tolerate rudeness."

McLaren MP4-21 - front chassis winglets 21 October 2006
McLaren continue their aero development into the final round in Brazil with two horizontal, pointy winglets (red arrow), one either side of the chassis' foremost section. These slightly odd-looking elements serve a similar function to the similarly-located devices seen on the Renault this season. They improve the car's front-end balance, by improving airflow quality in this area and adding a small amount of downforce. As on the R26, the elements help in stabilising the front of the car over the frequent bumps found around the Interlagos circuit.

Einstein can rest easy as neutrinos obey speed limit
LONDON (Reuters) - New research suggests neutrinos that appeared to break one of Einstein's fundamental theories by travelling faster than the speed of light actually keep within the universal speed limit after all.
The latest measurement of the sub-atomic particles' speed of flight from the CERN research centre in Geneva to Gran Sasso in central Italy contradicts an initial super-fast reading reported last September, which caused a scientific sensation.
Since then, more doubts have crept in about the original claims, especially after news last month that the first finding from the so-called OPERA experiment may have been distorted by faulty cabling.
The new analysis was done by researchers working on a separate experiment called ICARUS. Using independent timing data and measuring seven neutrinos in the beam sent from CERN, they found the time was exactly consistent with the speed of light.
Sandro Centro, an expert in high-energy physics and spokesman for the ICARUS experiment, said he believed the results of the new tests were conclusive.
"The speed of light and speed of neutrinos are the same," he said in a telephone interview after the team's findings were published online on Friday.
The earlier controversial OPERA study had clocked neutrinos covering the 730 km from CERN to Gran Sasso 60 nanoseconds - or 60 billionths of a second - faster than light.
"The evidence is beginning to point towards the OPERA result being an artefact of the measurement," CERN Research Director Sergio Bertolucci said in a statement.
But he added that the scientific community needed to be rigorous and further tests were planned in May using more pulsed beams from CERN to provide the final verdict.
Many scientists had been sceptical about the original measurements, which flew in the face of Albert Einstein's 1905 Special Theory of Relativity which states that nothing in the universe can travel faster than light, an assertion that underpins much of modern physics and cosmology.
The ICARUS team, working at the same Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) Gran Sasso laboratory, north-east of Rome, as colleagues on the OPERA project, had already queried the initial findings because the neutrinos did not appear to lose energy on their flight as would have happened if they had broken the light barrier.
"As it happens in science, someone repeats the same experiment and can come up with a different result," Fernando Ferroni, INFN's president said in a statement.
He said that after this latest results, doubts about the faster-than-light reading were "gaining more ground".
The ICARUS scientists used a vast chamber of liquid argon to detect the arrival of the neutrinos at the Gran Sasso laboratory, which is dug deep in a mountainside.
The details of the experiment were posted on the scientific website arxiv.org/abs/1203.3433 .

Since May 1999, as a participant in HUD's Moving To Work (MTW) demonstration, the Housing Authority of the County of Tulare has been operating a program of flat rents in its public housing and fixed subsidies in its voucher programs. Families participating in the MTW program either pay a fixed rent for public housing or receive a fixed subsidy for voucher. Because rents are not tied to income, MTW participants are able to keep the full amount of any extra earnings they make while on the program. However, assistance is terminated when a family's income reaches 120 percent of the area median or after five years in the program, whichever comes first.
Families have the option of Housing Authority owned public housing units as they become available, or voucher rental assistance. Public housing applicants will have to pass normal screening procedures, and, if housed, pay a flat rental amount based on the unit bedroom size. Rents will be evaluated annually and increased only as needed to cover operating costs, but not by more than 10% in any one year.
Voucher families receive a flat rental subsidy amount, depending on the unit size the family qualifies for, or the actual unit size rented, whichever is smaller. Families pay the difference between the rent charged by the landlord and the flat subsidy amount. The Housing Authority inspects units to be sure that they meet Housing Quality Standards and that the rent is reasonable.
Either public housing or voucher families who have members who are not citizens or eligible aliens have an increased flat rent amount or decreased subsidy amount of $25 per ineligible family member.
All new families admitted from the waiting list are admitted under MTW rules, except for elderly and disabled, who are exempted.
Incomes will be verified annually for statistical purposes only, but will not affect rental or subsidy amounts. Interim redeterminations and utility allowances are eliminated. Hardship situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
MTW gives participants the opportunity to save as their incomes rise, thus providing an incentive to seek out employment or better jobs. The five-year time limit on assistance also increases the impetus for families to gain employment and self-sufficiency skills, so that they will be able to afford alternative housing once their assistance is terminated. The time limits also reinforce the notion that rental assistance is not a lifetime benefit but a helping hand to families as they move toward employment and self-sufficiency. The Housing Authority hopes that at the end of five years, families will have earned and saved enough to purchase a home.

I like JRPGs. It's one of my many vices. And at some point, I'd like to make one. Because of that, I've spent some time thinking about what should be kept in mind when designing a JRPG. I doubt anything I've come up with is revolutionary or original, but I'd like to run through some of it in the hopes of collecting feedback. Remember that this is all just my view. If you think I'm wrong, please, tell me why.
Anyway, there is something that I think is the most important principle to keep in mind when designing games, JRPGs in particular - and that is the Principle of Jesus Christ How Did They Figure That Out, which I'll henceforth refer to as "Players are smart".
What I mean by that is that if there is an optimal strategy to your game, players will home in on it like... well, a homing missile. If your game is any good - and probably even if it isn't - within a few months the gaming community will know practically everything about how your game works. Hell, they'll probably know more than you do when they discover that weird bug you can use to completely break the game. And there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop players figuring out what the game mechanics and optimal strategies are, short of not releasing the game - which seems somewhat pointless.
This is important because of the vast corollaries that follow from it, but also because it teaches you to be wary - program defensively, because any weird glitches you leave will get exploited. Try to design the game such that there is no optimal strategies - there should be a number of effective strategies that players will employ. Otherwise, you'll find that everyone will end up doing the same thing. Consider, for example, Final Fantasy 8 - basically, all you need to do is damage the main character (Squall) down to very low HP. He can then, every round, use a special attack called 'Renzokuken', that does a pretty good amount of damage - and by the end of the game, has a chance of activitating another special attack called 'Lion Heart', that does very nearly 170,000 points of damage to pretty much everything in the game. That will one-shot pretty much any boss. It didn't take long for players to catch onto that, and the result is that FF8 has a pretty boring battle system that has to be spiced up by artificial limitations - playing the game without using any limit breaks and at the lowest level possible, for example.
Unfortunately, testers are not good at discovering the seriously broken combinations of effects, unless they're blindingly obvious. You just don't have enough of a population for long enough to figure it out. That means you're going to have to put some thought into the game and try to work out what will break. Try to play it like your players will - like it's a puzzle that needs solving. At the very least, consider what happens when the same effect is stacked - what happens if the player does everything possible to increase his crit chance/evasion chance/counter rate/attack/etc. In the process, assume that the player knows and understands every single formula and game mechanic perfectly and never makes a mistake. The hallmark of a good JRPG is that it will still hold up under those conditions - the player will win, yes, but with some level of difficulty, thought, and, most importantly - there will be several different ways they can do it

Insecure work claim a union beat-up
PUBLISHED: 04 Dec 2012 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 04 Dec 2012 12:52:59PUBLISHED: 04 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 30 Nov 2012Most contractors want to stay independent, rather than become employees. Photo: Phil Carrick
Innes Willox
The bogus scourge of "job insecurity" is being used by the union movement, the Greens and an array of misguided interest groups and academics to pursue further workplace restrictions on businesses. In reality, there is no such problem.
Let's take the campaigners' assertion that 40 per cent of the workforce is in "insecure work". This claim has been repeated so many times that even reputable commentators have started to refer to it as a fact. It is not.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics' Forms of Employment, Australia report released earlier this year showed there were 11.35 million people in the workforce. Of these, over 7 million (more than 62 per cent) had leave entitlements; that is, they were permanent employees. There were 2.2 million casuals (19 per cent), 1 million independent contractors (9 per cent) and a million "other business operators" (9 per cent).
If every independent contractor and "other business operator" is included, the figure comes to 38 per cent, but the notion that these people are all in "insecure work" is absurd. The million independent contractors are the carpenters, plumbers, electricians and truck drivers who we all know. The vast majority of them have absolutely no desire to be employees.
According to the ABS definition, the additional million "other business operators" spend most of their time managing their businesses and/or their employees. On any assessment, the 40 per cent figure quoted by the unions is a gross misrepresentation.
A second old chestnut that can be debunked is that the workforce is increasingly being casualised. In fact, according to the ABS, there has been a steady decrease over the past five years. In 2007, it was 21 per cent, in 2009 it was 20 per cent, and now it is 19 per cent. Casual employment peaked in 2007 and is lower today than in 2005.
A third erroneous claim is that casuals want to be employed on a permanent basis. "Casual conversion" clauses, which give employees the right to ask to convert to permanent employment with only reasonable refusal allowed, have existed in numerous industrial awards since 2000. Despite this, employers report that whenever they give employees the option to convert to permanent employment, almost none (less than 1 per cent) want to. Casuals do not want to lose their flexibility or their casual loading.
A fourth erroneous assertion is that employers are forcing their employees to become casuals. While it is true that many employers need a mix of casual and permanent employees to maximise flexibility, in many cases the employees want to be casuals as they like flexibility and the 25 per cent loading. Many prefer to be casual as it allows them to take part in the workforce and balance family responsibilities or study commitments.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions is using the "insecure work" campaign to argue for more restrictions on employers. Last year it proposed Fair Work Australia be given the power to make "secure employment orders" to force businesses to employ staff on a permanent basis. The proposal was adopted by the recent union inquiry into insecure work and this week was incorporated in a Greens bill.
The unions called their probe the "independent inquiry into insecure work". With respect to former Labor deputy prime minister Brian Howe and the others involved, this is a very creative title since the unions commissioned the inquiry, selected those who conducted it and the final report was presented to the unions. They also bombarded it with submissions. Employer groups did not take part as it was set up by unions with the aim of imposing restrictions on employers.
The concept of "secure employment orders" must be rejected. Australia's future success depends on maintaining flexible workplaces. The only true job security for workers comes from ensuring that businesses remain profitable and competitive.
There is no "insecure work" problem in Australia. The problem is the campaign by unions to convince the public that there is a problem, so that they can impose a raft of new restrictions on employers. Could the fact that very few casuals and contractors are union members be a key motivator for the campaign?

El Gran Escape, Quepos, Central Pacific
Costa Rica

Costa Rica
Tel: 506 2777 0395
Concierge.com's insider take:
In the center of the little port town of Quepos, the gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park, El Gran Escape isn't known for its location (on a noisy corner) or its view (the Pacific ocean is obscured by a small hill). Its reputation is for fresh fish, and it doesn't disappoint. Ask about the specials right off the boat, such as whole red snapper served upright, swimming across a bed of greens. A great starter is the seafood chowder—really more of a bisque, but tasty just the same. The lively bar is packed with locals and anglers comparing notes. Occasionally, live music adds to the party ambience.—Updated by Christopher P. Baker

Villeroy & Boch
Aquarius of Howden Welcomes Villeroy and Boch
Aquarius has been trading in Howden for over 27 years. Our work tends to cross a number of traditional bou
ndaries. Bathroom designs have to keep abreast of new technologies and changing expectations. The final installations are then created by combining a variety of trade skills in what is often a very small workspace.
Since the latest recession began we have had to work hard, like all other businesses, to maintain turnover without compromising standards. We have always tried to provide options to suit all budgets and we do this by carefully selecting our products. We recently took the decision to add a very well respected brand to our showroom which will give us even more range and versatility in our future designs.
The new addition is 'Villeroy and Boch' who have and expect exacting standards. They are an exclusive brand and we had to be sure that their range was suitable with plenty of products to improve our offering at all price points before we took the concession.
After initial discussions and studies of their ranges we are delighted to become involved with them. Nothing in this world is certain, but we are confident that Aquarius of Howden and Villeroy & Boch will be a very effective combination. We are also proud to be bringing such a prestigious product into the heart of Howden. We hope that this will make a further contribution to the many fine and varied businesses which help to define the special shape and feel of this quietly exciting market town.
So, to complete the introduction, Howden, meet Villeroy and Boch. Villeroy and Boch, meet Howden.

The intrepid Aquarius sponsored cycling team has left Lands End
As reported in our last blog post, Geoff and Sophie Earl are embarking on an epic cycle ride to raise money for World Vision. Resplendent in Aquarius of Howden shirts, they have started their journey and sent this picture and feedback;
"Cyclists sporting aquarius shirts at lands end this morning. First leg all to plan just too many hills!"
Good luck for the rest of the ride and we look forward to making you a cuppa at the showroom on 5th August!
Aquarius of Howden supports epic fundraising challenge
An epic cycling challenge involving an East Yorkshire father and daughter has been given a boost by a Howden bathroom business.
On 31st July, Geoff and Sophie Earl from Asselby near Howden will embark on the famous Lands End to John O'Groats cycle ride, with no support vehicle and riding the 1080 miles with just what they can carry on their bikes.
Generously supported by Aquarius of Howden and other local businesses, the father, daughter and two friends, Laurie Kearsey (24) and Mark Mihkelson (50) aim to complete the grueling ride, taking the longer East Coast route to accommodate a pit stop in Asselby on 5th August, in only 14 days.
Geoff, who will celebrate his 50th birthday later this year and who describes himself as 'a keen cyclist since Easter!' explained how the challenge came about; "Over a year ago Sophie and I started talking about doing something memorable during her 2010 summer vacation from Sheffield University and we decided to do the cycle ride to raise money for World Vision as it's a charity that we've supported for many years. The challenge has been made possible thanks to businesses like Aquarius, who have provided our cycling shirts and made a generous donation and we're all very grateful."
Sophie continued; "We've been cycling 100 miles a week in training since Easter and we're quietly confident that we can rise to the challenge of averaging around 80 miles a day. The route and accommodation have been meticulously planned and we're all really looking forward to raising lots of money for worthwhile charities."
World Vision is an organisation that provides help and support for children and families in the poorest parts of the world to help overcome poverty and injustice. They help people to help themselves and achieve some of the things that we take for granted. Geoff and Sophie have already beaten their £3000 fundraising target, but would welcome more donations to benefit World Vision. If you would like to support them, please visit www.justgiving.com/fromlandsendtojohnogroats.
The co-founder in one of Howden's oldest businesses is celebrating after gaining an honours degree aged 57.
Aquarius of Howden's director Rick Kay's lifelong fascination with physics prompted him to embark on a degree course with the Open University in 2003. Rick explains how it came about; "I had always harboured a desire to explore physics in detail. By the time I got to 40, Aquarius bathrooms was well established and I considered that the time was right from a business perspective but I feared that I was too old to learn how to study and take notes all over again, so the idea was parked once more."
A decade later, Rick bit the bullet and began an OU course that comprised six years of project and course work through distance learning and residential courses before graduating at London's Barbican last month.
Of the achievement, Rick said; "I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I'm delighted to have completed my degree. It's quite ironic that, having waited this long, I have now got the urge to continue learning and I plan to take a year off and then look at a research based masters."
Rick, whose other interests include summer and winter climbing and 'dabbling' in music and the arts, was one of only 30 graduates from Yorkshire and one of only 300 nationwide to be awarded this prestigious degree.

Cricket returns to Howden's Ashes thanks to generosity of local businesses
Howden Cricket Club looking forward to welcoming Saturday cricket back to the Ashes playing field next season after a 12 year absence.
The club disbanded in the mid 1990s and the pavilion at the Treeton Road site fell into disrepair but a determined group of footballers and cricketers have worked tirelessly to restore the historic pavilion to its former glory in the shadow of the Minster.
Although the club reformed in 2004 and now plays in the Snaith and District evening league, there has been no Saturday cricket at the Ashes since 1998
A team including Aquarius of Howden employees Andy Smith, James Smith and Ian Mitchell have spent the last two months installing hot water and three new state of the art showers kindly supplied by Aquarius and will refurbish the toilets once the pavilion roof is made watertight over the next few weeks. The final stage of the refurbishment will be to fit the Howdens supplied kitchen and the make-over will be complete.
Former pace bowler and keen footballer Andy is delighted that the pavilion will be used again; "It's such an important part of Howden's history and we're proud to have been a part of its restoration. We're very grateful to Aquarius and Howdens as the project wouldn't have been viable without their generosity."
The earliest recorded match of Cricket in East Yorkshire apparently took place at Wallingfen near Gilberdyke on 13 August 1778, when Howden beat Beverley by 64 'notches'.
The team at Aquarius has been delighting customers with its bespoke bathroom designs and installations for over 24 years.

Is almond oil good for skin?
Almond is a close relative of plum, and its fruit shape reminds a peach stone. Almond oil, which is derived from almonds seeds by cold or hot pressing, is the most valuable product and is widely used not only in food but in pharmaceutical and perfume industries as well.
Due to its emollient and anti-inflammatory effect, almond oil is indispensable for skin care: it cleans, nourishes, softens and moisturizes, prevents sloughing of dry skin and burns from sunbathing.
Almond oil obtained by cold pressing maintains all its active components, ensuring the effectiveness of its action. This natural product can be used without any chemical additives.
Does almond oil help hair growth? Environmentally friendly natural almond oil has a great effect on hair and skin of all types, providing a soft and gentle care and protection in all climatic conditions. This occurs due to the high content of glycerides of oleic and linoleic acids, emulsion enzyme, vitamins and proteins in almond oil.
Allergy to almond oil occurs extremely rare, that is why it is recommended in skin care for all types of skin, including those with sensitive, prone to irritation and allergy. The high content of oleic acid provides rapid absorption of almond oil into the skin, a soothing and softening effect.
In addition to skin care, almond oil is widely used in hair care, as naturally strengthens and stimulates its growth. Due to natural ingredients contained in almond oil the nutrition of hair follicle is improved, hair grows faster and becomes more glossy and elastic. Moreover, almond oil can be also used when removing lash mascara. A double effect is achieved: a gentile removal of lash mascara, while nourishing and strengthening your lashes.
Environmentally friendly almond oil is a natural effective remedy for skin and hair, easy to use and it left no greasy marks.

Ferrari 248 F1 - barge boards 06 October 2006
One of the most heavily developed areas of the car, the barge boards have shown numerous changes over the season. The last one in Japan is small but significant and relates to a visible increase in the height (blue arrow) of the 'upper step' of the main shield in front of the boards. Varying the height of the saw-tooth profile helps in reducing turbulence and improving engine cooling relative to the varying needs of each track. The change is very subtle, but nonetheless relevant in terms of reliability - so crucial at this stage of the season.

It may be a slightly depressing title, but there's nothing sad about this mix of One D's hit "Live While We're Young" and Ke$ha's "Die Young".

Druidism, even though being almost undateable has existed into the far reaches of antiquity. Extending far beyond that of written history and the Druids themselves not using a rhetorical system for documeanting their history, it is very difficult to say what their ritual, political, and clerical practices were exactly. Most of the literature we have today is or could be prejudicially written. By taking written history into account, and not looking specifically at religion, we can learn a lot about the Celts and subsequently the Druidic caste.The ancient Druids were the most learned of all men and women of their time. Druids were physicians, astronomers, mathematicians, musicians, poets, philosophers, legislators, judges, and teachers of spirituality, religion, and education. The Druids were held in such high regard that Kings and other aristocrats or social hierarchy would send their children to them to be taught the ways of Druidism.
In the height of their time the Druids had power over the masses near without equal. It is said that the Druids could walk between two armies waged in war and dispel the hostilities causing them to discontinue the fight. In the matters of learning, religion, and government their word was absolute. The Druids served as the spiritual link between the Celts and the Gods. The Druids taught their philosophy to the Celts, who did not have any organized religion. Their were many pantheons of Gods worshipped by the Celts stemming from tribal, cultural, and geographical roots.
What the Druids did was give order to the many different structures to instill morals, virtues, and ethics. The term "Druidism" is a philosophy and way of life taught by memory from generation to generation. Contrary to popular belief, Druidism was never taught as a system of religion. If it was the Celts as a whole would have been Druids, which we know was not the case.
There are many different concepts of how the Druids worshipped. Whether or not they were Mono, Dual, or Polytheistic. The Druid organizations of today practice all three with respect given to a Higher God, or Creator being (Mono); the reverence of the Earth Mother being a (Dual); and with regard given to the lesser Gods and Goddesses, who serve specific duties in this and the other world, being (Poly). In my opinion, Druidism is a wholly Panentheistic philosophy taught and practiced in many different ways.

Why we are in LEGOLAND®!
LEGOLAND® is proud of having so many distinguished companies as sponsors or partners. The fact that they select LEGOLAND is important recognition of LEGOLAND ApS as a company, of what LEGOLAND stands for, and what LEGOLAND does.
Below are some examples of how and why companies and corporations choose to work with LEGOLAND.
Falk Lauritsen Travel
With Falk Lauritsen Travel you can venture into the fantastic, real-world destination of Egypt and experience majestic pyramids, stunning temples and exotic colonial cities. And at LEGOLAND®, you can experience the entire world in miniature format built from LEGO® bricks. A strategic collaboration between Falk Lauritsen Travel and LEGOLAND now makes it possible to travel to both of these worlds – all in one trip. You can ride through THE TEMPLE, the fast-paced Egyptian attraction in LEGOLAND, on one day and on the next day visit real Egyptian temples in the north of Africa. Falk Lauritsen Travels has been a major player in the Danish travel industry for more than 40 years. We have recently expanded our portfolio of traditional European destinations to include a number of new overseas destinations in some of the less-travelled regions of the world.
Falk Lauritsen Travel is pleased to partner with LEGOLAND, children's preferred amusement park, and a company with a strong brand and reputation. Our shared values and mutual interests have led to a strategic alliance between Falk Lauritsen and LEGOLAND. Both companies wish to give guests an opportunity to spend valuable time together with their loved ones. In each our own way, we create experiences for children and their families, and we take care of our guests. This is true of the features and facilities that we make available, and also of our approach to hosting our guests.
Moving Energy ForwardIn cooperation with LEGOLAND we have built up a large area in Miniland focusing on energy in our daily lives. In an interesting and educating way the LEGO bricks show how energy is made. Through a fruitful cooperation DONG Energy's specialists have helped the creative LEGOLAND designers with all the technical details on energy.
Energy is an integrated part of everyday life and a prerequisite for almost all that people do and it is DONG Energy's task to contribute with solutions to the energy challenges. We procure, produce, distribute and trade in energy - and we do it in a manner that is responsible towards this and future generations. We are a part of all the phases of the energy from production to consumption. That provides us with the necessary competencies to develop our company.
Falck has existed for more than a century, and one of our main activities is saving lives and property by putting out fires as quickly as possible. Like LEGOLAND, Falck is also a company for children. For example, Falck provides first aid courses for both children and adults. The participants learn to administer first aid and put out fires. What's important for Falck concerning the children, is that learning takes place on the child's terms - and that through play, fun and entertainment, children learn about fire prevention, and also what to do in case of an accident. In this sense Falck has a natural affiliation with the LEGOLAND parks' values of learning through play. This also makes it easy for us to serve as a partner to LEGOLAND on the Falck Fire Brigade, which opened in 2005. The Falck Fire Brigade is an activity for the whole family. Everyone can participate and work together to put out the "flames" quickly and effectively. Falck is an international corporation, whose 28,000 employees in 35 countries all work to fulfill our mission: to prevent accidents and rescue people and animals when they are injured or ill. It is crucial for people who are injured that they receive medical treatment promptly. This is why it is so important that as many people as possible are taught to administer first aid. That saves lives, and every year some 40,000 Danes starting at pre-school age participate in a Falck first-aid course.
SCA Hygiene Products is among the leading European manufacturers of products for personal hygiene. One of its leading brands is Libero nappies.
Libero sponsors the Babycare Centre in LEGOLAND. At the Babycare Centre, parents can obtain a free Libero nappy and change their children, and mothers can nurse their babies in peace and quiet. It is possible to boil water, warm bottles and food etc., while older children entertain themselves in the fire engine or have a look at the enjoyable books provided by the Libero Club.
Libero is the nappy that provides freedom of movement, allowing and encouraging physical development through play. This is in full harmony with the values on which LEGOLAND and LEGO focus: creativity, fun and development in a unique environment where the child is the hero.
Baby Dan is proud to be a sponsor at LEGOLAND®Baby Dan is a sponsor at Hotel LEGOLAND in Billund, Denmark, where there is a selection of DanChairs, chair cushions, beanbags, pushchairs, guards and travel cots. You will also find lots of Baby Dan products in the park's Babycare Center.
The Baby Dan brand is known all over the world for creativity, safety and responsibility. At Baby Dan we have more than 50 years of experience with child safety products for the under fives. We have carefully selected all the items in our product range for optimum safety, quality and comfort, while keeping an eye on the latest trends in colour and design, of course. All this harmonises perfectly with the values that LEGOLAND stands for – a strong emphasis on creativity, fun and innovation in a uniquely safe environment with the child at the centre.

DOVER — Amid speculation that Former Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Scott Brown may be setting his sights for higher office, Brown made three appearances around the Tri-City and insisted his only ulterior motive for the visits was getting out of yard work. At a Strafford County Republican Committee fundraiser early Saturday afternoon, Brown signed copies of his book "Against All Odds" and spoke of the challenges currently facing the country. "Enough of the division," he said of those in Washington. "What happened to being Americans first?" Brown said he has been disgusted with what he has seen going on in Washington and feels compelled to travel around the country right now to remind people "there is hope." "Being there and then stepping back and seeing what's happening, you get a whole different perspective," he said. "There are times in life when you have failure or a loss and you recharge. It gives you an amazing opportunity to recollect and learn and grow and then say, 'Ok, what did I do wrong? Where do we go from here? What's the plan?'"

"I get asked regularly by people to come out and give their team a pep talk and let them know that it's not over 'til it's over," he said. Brown said he is supporting Leonard because of his legislative and military experience, his stance on business and family and education issues and for fighting for the tax cap to "reel in spending." "He's very keenly aware of how ObamaCare is basically going to crush Frisbee Memorial Hospital," he said. "It's not only going to effect jobs in this area, it's going to effect the care people get in the city." Leonard said he is feeling confident and optimistic about the upcoming election and said although he didn't run for pleasure, it has certainly been a "fun" experience.Unopposed Councilor Mac Kittredge was also at the cigar shop and said, "I want to support the team. We need change in a big way." Brown then made a visit to the Hilltop City to wave to cars and raise support for the re-election campaign of Mayor Matt Spencer. Brown, Spencer, several GOP activists and City Council candidates Harold Guptill and Don Berrios met curbside in front of the Burger King on High St. to hold signs and solicit honks and waves from passersby.
"More people can see the senator this way," said Spencer. "Also, the office of mayor belongs to the people, so we should be somewhere visible." Brown said he supports Spencer for his role as a consensus builder and his military experience."He has worked to build continuity without ruffling a lot of feathers," said Brown. "Somersworth is a city in transition and I think they need continuity. He deserves to get re-elected." As far as Brown's own political future, he insisted he wasn't making appearances for any reason other than to support like-minded candidates and to get out of mowing the lawn at his home in Rye."People think there's some ulterior motive as to why I'm here," he said. "Let me tell you why I'm here. My wife has a list of stuff for me to do back home."Leonard said he wasn't privy to any insider information about a Brown campaign in the future. "If he decides he wants to run next year that would be great," he said. "He's a great Republican, he's genuine and very intelligent."
Brown said he will be appearing on Fox News today at 8 a.m. with Chris Wallace and encouraged people to follow him on Facebook and on Twitter @ScottBrownMA.

Assistant interior designers use their design skills to help create an attractive indoor environment for clients. Typically working in tandem with one or more interior designers - or as part of an interior design team - the interior design assistant helps to bring a design to life by working on logistical issues such as taking measurements, arranging for the acquisition of necessary tools, researching product options and ordering necessary materials, and serving as a liaison between the designer and vendors. Interior design assistants may also be called upon to participate in the design process or complete other tasks as needed by their supervisor or team. Individuals in this position typically work in an office setting, although trips to clients' sites and suppliers are generally required.

How To Appeal Denied Claims
Even if the monetary totals at stake are small, denied insurance claims can add up and negatively impact your practice. This author provides pearls for ensuring your denied claims receive payment, offering insights on dealing with insurance companies and the importance of thorough documentation.
Denied claims can be very frustrating as it requires time and money, not to mention a great deal of antacids, to appeal a claim. Often when the dollar amounts are small, it may not appear to be worth it as an appeal can be a net loss even if you win the case.
Accordingly, I'd like to offer some helpful suggestions to develop an office protocol that might make this process somewhat easier.
Proper claims processing protocol should include using up-to-date billing information such as the latest edition of the CPT, ICD-9 and HCPCS coding books as well as any other manuals that insurance companies may provide. There needs to be a clear handoff from the provider (superbill) to the biller (transmission of the claim form) and on to the insurance company to make sure this process goes smoothly.
Start with the simple things. Make sure there are no transcribing errors. For example, perhaps the biller used codes that were not listed on the superbill or used codes that were undocumented in the chart. One must properly match CPT/HCPCS codes with ICD-9 codes as a mismatch could be the source of the denial.
The correct use of modifiers is very important when submitting claims. Obviously, using the incorrect modifier is a problem. However, sometimes offices add modifiers when there is no need for them, thinking that the more the merrier or that adding a modifier cannot hurt. This also could result in a claim denial as the carrier's computer cannot handle an unwarranted modifier. If you are unclear on the proper use of modifiers, take steps to better understand what modifiers to use.
Also look for technical issues. Make sure your electronic system is compatible with the insurance company's software. Make sure that what you transmitted is what the insurance company received. There are multiple glitches that can occur in the electronic transfer system. Most insurance company claims processing software should follow a standard language. However, if what you billed does not match up with what the insurance company processed, verify what the practice sent to determine which end of the transmission has the problem. If there is a transmission discrepancy, you should check with the insurance company's IT department as well as your own software vendor.
For paper claims, make sure the information typed on the claim form is properly aligned on the lines and within the boxes on the claim form. If it is out of alignment, then the scanners that insurance companies utilize may not accurately pick up the information.
Make sure your staff has filled out the claim forms, either paper or electronic, properly and completely so they list all the information that is required. Some technical errors include simple transposition of letters and numbers, fields left blank, and mismatches between the place of service and evaluation and management.
Pertinent Pointers On The Initial Investigation Into The Claim Denial
When a claim or authorization request has been denied, a designated person should take ownership of that denial. First, one needs to research the claim to see if there is an error on the part of the office, either due to the doctor or staff. If your investigation has determined that it is your error, there should be office protocols in place to identify and correct any office-based error.
Although claim denials have an obvious negative connotation, this is an excellent teaching opportunity, creating a more positive spin to this situation. This will create a more harmonious office situation rather than always setting a negative tone. Do not stick your head in the sand. If you do not address the denials head on, then the errors (and associated expenses) will continue.

Heraldry of the World The largest heraldry site on the net, with presently coats of arms on-line ! |
State : Rheinland-Pfalz The arms were granted on January 22, 1938. The arms are based on the seal of the village, known since 1816. The key is the symbol of St. Peter, the local patron saint. The colours are those of the State of Nassau, to which the village belonged in the 19th century. St. Peter holding a key is already known from the parish seals of Meudt since the 14th century. The oldest seal of the council appeared in 1519 and showed the arms of the Counts of Diez, who ruled the village until 1564. The seal remained in use, however until 1612. A new seal appeared in 1690 showing the cross of the State of Trier, to which Meudt belonged from 1564-1804. In 1804 the village became part of Nassau. Literature : Hessisches Wappenbuch, 1956 |
