Deck the halls with Christmas trees and other festive accents. Your home will be a holiday haven with a brightly lit tree covered in heirloom ornaments, Christmas lights and shimmering tinsel. The glow of a Christmas tree illuminating your living space will offer a cozy backdrop to evenings at home away from the chill of winter. Kmart has a stunning selection of artificial Christmas trees, ornaments and more to design the perfect decoration in your home this holiday season. You'll love the look of your tree so much, you'll want to keep it up year round.
Let your Christmas tree stand tall
The holiday season is a time of bright colors, joy and cheer. Christmas trees are a traditional symbol of the season and one that stands tall in your home. Whether you want one tree or several, there are hundreds of styles, designs and sizes to match any room. You can find trees with pre-strung lights and various color schemes to suit your style. From traditional green pines to pink, blue and white trees that make a statement in your home, you can find a huge selection at Kmart.
When you first set up a tree for the holidays, you may spend hours admiring the beauty of the colors, the lights and the shimmer of sparkling ornaments. The tradition of trimming the tree is one that the entire family can enjoy, from setting up the tree to placing lights, ornaments and garland in a decorative pattern. A rotating tree that moves inside the Christmas tree stand allows you to show off all of the decorations that have been hung with care.
Children love opening boxes of Christmas ornaments that they can hang on the tree. They'll love the ornaments even more if they have their own special Christmas tree to place a few select ornaments on. Give your kids their own miniature trees, whether the trees are a foot tall or 3 feet tall, and your children will cherish those memories for a lifetime. They may even keep the tree for many years to come.
When you have a high-quality artificial Christmas tree, it will withstand years of use, so you can rest assured that these trees will last for several years. When the time comes to put the tree away for the holiday season, proper Christmas storage is a must to keep holiday clutter organized, easy to find and easily accessible. You can store your tree in pieces or as a whole unit, protecting it from dust, mold and damage while it's in storage. If you have multiple trees, you'll want to make sure to keep them separated for easy assembly each year.
Let the holidays be a relaxing and enjoyable time of the year to focus on what really matters. Decorate your home with the whole family for a memorable experience, and let Kmart help you with all the supplies you need to create a magical holiday home.

- New World Order at Running BackPISCATAWAY, N.J. – Breakout game puts it likely when referencing the freshman running back duo of Josh Hicks and Robert Martin.

Skyrim will finally receive everything it was ever lacking: Anebriate and the rest of the cast from Tales of the Drunken Paladin. Read more
Skyrim will finally receive everything it was ever lacking: Anebriate and the rest of the cast from Tales of the Drunken Paladin.
About this project
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a swell game and all, but there's a definitive lack of drunken paladins therein. And this is a huge problem--one that seems only solvable by Steve Gibbon, sole creator of Tales of the Drunken Paladin.
So, What's the Plan?
Well, first of all, we're going to develop a mod using Bethesda's Creation Kit the likes of which has never been seen (literally--I've looked all over). The primary objective of this mod is to create an interactive follower with scripted AI and situational awareness (kind of like Dawnguard's Serana, but with VASTLY more detail and unique dialogue). Essentially, Anebriate will follow you around in-game and provide continually hilarious (and relevant) commentary on all your adventures. In addition, it will include a handful of new interiors, NPCs, quests, etc. to introduce more of Drunken Paladin's beloved cast and mythology into the new setting.
Why the Kickstarter?
A couple of reasons. Firstly, because if we're going to have professional sound (and we're going to have professional sound), we're going to have to make it ourselves. And if we're going to make it ourselves, we're going to need the right tools for the job. The funding will primarily go to ensuring that Hootey (our certified voice actor) doesn't have to scrape by with a flimsy headset-microphone, so his golden pipes can really shine. Everything beyond the cost of equipment will go into the man-hours making the mod above and beyond all your expectations. The more we get, the bigger the mod can be, and the happier you'll be as a result. If we reach some of the crazy stretch-goals, we could even bring in some talented 3D artists to do work on exclusive TDP animations. Who knows? If we get enough funding, this could end up being a bigger add-on than Dawnguard itself.
And you can be damn sure it will be funnier.
What the Hell is a Drunken Paladin?
Well, it's... probably better if you find out for yourself. But to give you a general idea, it's a comedy RPG in the style of old-fashion JRPGs that has become sort of an Internet sensation, garnering nearly half a million downloads over the course of three years. I mean, I think it's pretty cool. And so do a lot of other people, with any luck. Otherwise, this will be a pretty embarrassing Kickstarter.
Meet the Voice Actor
Hi! My name is Scott, but you probably know me better as Hootey, amateur voice actor and resident video game streamer at Vinesauce.com. I've been entertaining people for the past three years with both classic and new games, all while providing my own impromptu voices. After receiving tremendous feedback from viewers, and having had the opportunity to provide the opening narration for Tales of the Drunken Paladin, I feel ready to boldly stride into the industry and to give the effort everything that I have. And what better way to start than to voice a filthy-mouthed paladin named Anebriate and all of his chums? :) Thank you for all of your support!

Old movie buffs (and older readers) may remember a time when beer was sold in steel cans that were opened with a "church key." Entourage star Adrian Grenier is tapping into that nostalgia, we hear, with a new beer startup he's cofounding, Churchkey Can Co.
The cans are the old-timey variety that you probably haven't seen since the 60s. They're made of fully-recyclable steel, and require a churchkey opener to get into.

A word from the President
Dear members and visitors,
A new academic year is rapidly approaching. Nicolas Appert was of course also represented at the study day during the AID so new students were able to get acquainted with our student association. Hopefully all our members have enjoyed a well deserved holiday and for those who had to study hard for their re-examinations I hope you have passed them successfully. Last year many interesting Nicolas Appert activities took place, too many to mention but if we have to name a few, certainly these would be the weekends we spent together, such as the first years weekend, the NA weekend and the ONCS, the integration gala organized with other student associations and last but not least the field trips to various food companies and the end of year barbecue.
Needless to say, the committees of Nicolas Appert will also organize all sorts of activities this year, new will be our brothers and sisters day. On this special day all the food technologists' brothers and sister are welcome to spend a nice day together. Furthermore we have set up a new committee which will occupy themselves with the design for goodies/promotional items for our student association, such as water bottles, sunglasses and sweaters. By setting up these new committees we will be able to offer our students plenty of possibilities to join our fast growing association and in this way we can organize even more interesting activities! Have a look at our various committees to see what they are doing. (you can find them under the heading 'committees')
Hopefully we will be able to welcome a large number of new members at the AID. We would like to meet them during our first years lunch. We would also like to invite all our members to the Kick-Off Party on Thursday 11 September where we will kick off the new academic year with a toast!
On behalf of our Board of Nicolas Appert, have fun at the AID and do come and join us in one of our activities to enrich your time in Wageningen both socially and professionally.
Hope to see you soon!

The Workforce for a Sustainable Future
Information compiled by Karin Kirk and Monica Bruckner, SERC, and informed by the Geoscience Workforce in the 21st Century workshop
The Multifaceted Role of Geoscience in the Workforce
Geoscience is represented in the workforce in numerous ways. Traditional geologists often find themselves working in oil and gas exploration, mining, resource management, groundwater remediation or environmental compliance. However, the need for geoscientific expertise is broadening as a growing human population, a need for clean energy and the protection of environmental health all present large challenges where insights about Earth's processes are essential. Professionals with geoscientific knowledge and experience today are immersed in a diverse array of occupations like hazard mitigation, community organizing, science journalism or managing sustainability efforts for large corporations. This series of pages contains descriptions of various aspects of the geoscience and environmental science workforce, and examines traditional pathways as well as emerging opportunities.
Information throughout these pages is gathered from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the American Geosciences Institute, the National Academies and other informed sources. Nonetheless, it is not straightforward to capture all the ways geoscience, environmental science and sustainability are present in the workforce. This page begins with a summary of employment of geoscientists, environmental scientists, hydrologists and atmospheric scientists today and goes on to explore future trends in employment. Forecasts of job growth are based on the best available data and analyses, but are still subject to unforeseen changes. Environmental regulations, emissions agreements, carbon management, the growth or shrinkage of government agencies (such as NOAA, NASA, UGSS, or the National Weather Service), and the emergence of new technologies are all large variables that can affect the course of the geoscience and environmental workforce. The accuracy of such forecasts in the past (Bezdek, 1986) indicate the need for caution in interpreting these findings.Employment Statistics from 2010 to 2020
Information in the following sections is largely derived from data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the American Geosciences Institute (AGI), and from a National Academy of Science report, Emerging Workforce Trends in the U.S. Energy and Mining Industries: A Call to Action.
Some highlights from Bureau of Labor Statistics data are below. Note that BLS data does not count academics within the fields described below. College faculty are categorized as postsecondary teachers and faculty from all fields are lumped together in one category.
- 33,800 geoscientists employed in 2010
- 89,400 environmental scientists and specialists
- 9,500 atmospheric scientists
- 7,600 hydrologists
- The most prevalent employment sectors for geoscientists are architectural, engineering and related services; oil and gas extraction and management; and scientific and technical consulting services. (See also: The Industries of Geoscience Graduates' First Jobs by Degree Field from the American Geosciences Institute, 2014.)
- A data visualization from the US Census Bureau shows where college graduates work, with a focus on STEM. This interactive infographic uses data from the 2012 census and shows that only a minority of STEM majors are employed in STEM occupations.
- 17,100 geoscience jobs and 16,700 environmental science jobs expected to be added in the next 10 years.
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 21% increase in geoscience jobs between 2010 and 2020. This outpaces the national average of 14%.
- For environmental scientists, job growth is expected to be 19% between 2010 and 2020. "Most employment growth for environmental scientists and specialists is projected to be in private consulting firms that help clients monitor and manage environmental concerns and comply with regulations." (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
- For geoscientists, the largest increase of jobs will be in scientific, management and technical consulting. Perkins (2011) describes this trend as "driven both by increased demand in the private sector and by the US government's increasing inclination to outsource work rather than hire new employees." Perkins, 2011
- Job growth in atmospheric science is only expected to increase by 11% over the next decade, which is slightly less than the overall average for all occupations. The BLS expects a competitive environment for atmospheric science and meteorology positions, with more graduates than available jobs. In part this is due to budgetary and hiring constraints by government agencies such as the National Weather Service. The strongest area of hiring is expected to be private industry.
- Government jobs are not projected to increase as fast as private sector jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects a 7% increase at the Federal level and a slightly larger increase of 8.7% in state government (Perkins, 2011).
- The American Geosciences Institute reports that approximately 1,500 graduate degree recipients in the geosciences are expected to transition into the workforce each year.
- Over the next 10-15 years there is expected to be an additional boost to hiring as current employees retire. The majority of geoscientists in the workforce are within 15 years of retirement age and the number of younger employees is only half of the number of those approaching retirement. Estimates for the petroleum industry indicate an expected shortfall of 13,000 unfilled jobs by 2030. Read more about the aging workforce.
- Representation of women and minorities in the geoscientific and environmental workforce is very low. Attracting and retaining women and minorities can expand the reach of these fields and encourage participation by a wider audience with diverse skills and perspectives. Moreover, reaching out to a broader demographic may be one solution to the predicted shortfall of workers in the coming decade. Read more about increasing diversity in the STEM disciplines.
Major Sectors of Employment are Extraction and Environment
The areas of oil, gas, mining and environmental work are the dominant fields of employment for geoscientists. When viewed by the type of work that geoscientists do, environmental work is the major employer, with 34% of geoscientists expected to be employed in the environmental sector by 2018 (BLS, see chart at right).
When employment data is viewed by the type of industry that hires geoscientists, the extractive industries represent the largest share, with oil, gas and mining totaling 58% of the workforce (AGI, see chart below). Why is there an apparent difference in the size of the environmental vs extractive employment?
In some cases a worker may be doing environmental work, but they do it under the employ of an extraction company. For example, hydrologists manage wastewater at hydraulic fracturing sites. These workers are performing environmental services but are employed by the natural gas industry.Thus, the extractive industries are doing most of the hiring of geoscientists and environmental scientists, but much of the actual work being carried out falls under the category of environmental work.
Energy and Environmental Employment Expected to Grow
Roger Bezdek, president of a Washington, D.C.-based economic and energy research firm, explains that "the future of geoscience jobs depends on the future of energy industries" and asserts that the future energy mix will continue to be dominated by oil, natural gas, and coal. As a result of the ongoing and strong demand for fossil fuels, Bezdek explains that management of carbon dioxide will at some point become imperative and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration on massive scale will become critical. "Worldwide, carbon capture and sequestration will require trillions dollars of investments, generate millions of jobs, and have profound impacts on the geoscience workforce" (Bezdek, 2013). For more information about jobs in this industry, see the Outlook for Emerging Energy and Sustainability Jobs.
Terri Bowers, president of Gradient, a Cambridge, MA consulting firm, also points to climate, environment and energy as she describes the current and future drivers of geoscience hiring. Bowers believes that climate change will drive the need for geoscientists to work on problems related to costal erosion and water resources and agrees that interest in carbon sequestration will produce employment for geoscientists who will be needed on teams that determine not only where and how sequestration will proceed but also to understand sequestration impacts on water resources and the potential for induced seismicity. She sees an ongoing need for geoscientists to contribute to investigations of contamination to understand what contamination is occurring where as well as to bring their understanding of fluid and chemical transport to an expanding array of environmental challenges. Geoscientists will continue to play critical roles in earthquake and volcanic hazard prediction as these services become more critical in population centers and to mitigate impacts on travel. Lastly, there is no reason to expect that the need for geoscience expertise in litigation will not continue to grow.
As the global demand for energy continues to increase, there will be a corresponding need to mitigate the environmental and societal hazards associated with energy extraction and use. These arenas require geoscience and environmental expertise of many forms, with demand stretching decades into the future. Today's graduates are not only moving into an active and growing job market, they can also anticipate working on important societal challenges.
The Workforce is Aging and a Shortfall of Employees is Expected
From Emerging Workforce Trends in the U.S. Energy and Mining Industries: A Call to Action (2013), by the National Academy of Science
According to the American Geosciences Institute (AGI), "the majority of geoscientists in the workforce are within 15 years of retirement age," and the number of younger employees is only half of the number of those approaching retirement. Estimates for the petroleum industry indicate an expected shortfall of 13,000 unfilled jobs by 2030. Moreover, the aging of the workforce represents a potential for a critical loss of technical knowledge, skill and experience. AGI data indicates "about 12% of today's geoscientists are expected to retire by 2018, meaning that net job availability for geoscientists in the United States should have increased between 2008 and 2018 by around 35%" (from AGI Status of the Geoscience Workforce and Perkins, 2011). For more, see the AGI Currents article Explanation of the Predicted Geoscience Workforce Shortage.
The geosciences attract students with a wide range of skills and interests and geoscience programs support pathways to a variety of professions in the geoscience workforce. Not all students who pursue geoscience degrees end up geoscience careers. Data from the 2011 AGI report suggest that, in the past, only 35% of geoscience degree holders work in core geoscience professions. Only about 30% of geoscience Bachelor's degree holders and 68% doctoral recipients work directly in geoscience occupations, though the majority of the remainder of degree holders work within STEM fields (from AGI's Status of the Geoscience Workforce 2011). Georgetown's Center on Education and the Workforce presents data showing the overall need for STEM skills for the well-being of the global economy.
In a 2013 report on the energy and mining industries, the National Academies of Sciences reports that the current pipeline of students and workers with strong STEM skills will not be adequate to fill the needs of the workforce in these fields. The report cites that poor preparation of high school students in STEM disciplines, high dropout rates, and lack of alternative pathways to high school graduation are reinforcing the problem. A potential shortage of faculty underscores the risk of losing the capacity to train new students for careers in energy and mining (NAS, 2013).
Roger Bezdek, President of Management Information Services, concurs that workforce data points to an impending shortage of qualified geoscience workers. A combination of increasing job growth in the geosciences, an upcoming "retirement tsunami," and a graduation rate that is not increasing all contribute to a deficit of workers. Bezdek estimates a shortfall of over 150,000 geoscientists in the US over the next decade (Bezdek, 2013).
International growth is also expected to add to the need for qualified geoscientists. "Rapid economic expansion in India, China and the rest of the developing world is expected to boost international demand for geoscience graduates. Highly skilled geoscientists will be needed to help identify and develop oil, gas and mineral resources, as well as to help recognize and ameliorate natural and manmade environmental hazards in these developing markets" (Perkins, 2011).
Job Shortage or Job Glut?
While agencies such as the National Academies, AAPG and AGI indicate a coming shortage of workers in geoscience and other STEM fields, some studies have shown an excess of workers. Notably, a 2013 study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) made the following conclusions:- U.S. has more than a sufficient supply of workers available to work in STEM occupations
- For every 2 students that U.S. colleges graduate with STEM degrees, only 1 is hired into a STEM job
- Wages have remained flat, with real wages hovering around their late 1990s levels.
One important difference is the definition for what constitutes employment in a STEM field. The EPI report was drawn from STEM employment data from the NSF, but the NSF definition of STEM fields is not consistent with the way EPI used it. For example, NSF data does not include workers in IT or health care, both of which are very large employers of STEM graduates. The focus of the EPI report was on the IT field, so it is notable that employment data did not count IT workers. Because the NSF numbers used in the study referred to a smaller subset of the STEM fields than EPI was analyzing, it appeared that there are fewer employed STEM workers than would be counted if a wider definition was considered.
Roger Bezdek adds that STEM wages are not flat, and in particular, salaries for geoscientists are increasing at rates well above similar fields (see figure at right). Higher wages are an indication of increased demand. Bezdek goes on to point out that the forecast for strong geoscience job growth and large retirement rates add to the expected shortage of qualified geoscientists (Bezdek, 2013).

Dell vs Compaq: A Technician's ViewApr 14, 2000 (Updated Oct 31, 2003)
Popular Products in PC Desktops
The Bottom Line Most technicians will agree, Dell is far superior to Compaq!
I am a technician for a company that provides warranty service for Dell in all public school districts in my state. My company also provides Compaq support for local business and individuals. I have repaired a great number of machines from both manufactures and these are my experiences. -Business Practice: First thing to understand is that these two companies have very different business practices. I have learned that Compaq is more of a, Wait and see if it goes bad type of company and Dell is more of a, We have a problem, lets solve it company. Let me give you an example. Compaq maintains a large list of Service Advisories that are regularly distributed to the support vendors. These service advisories are, for the most part, problems that should be fixed if and when a PC affected by the advisory is brought in for service. In other words, these are issues that Compaq knows cause problems, yet will not fix until the problem surfaces. One particular example that comes to mind involved a certain model of the Presario line. They were shipped with a hard drive that was later determined to fail often. Compaq issued a Service Advisory for that hard drive that they should all be replaced if ever repaired (regardless of whether their current problem is the hard drive). Of course, they didnt alert Presario owners of this situation, for that would cost Compaq too much to replaced all the drives. So if you had any problem with your Presario, the hard drive was replaced. But if your Presario worked fine for the life of the warranty, you had a machine that was destined to fail. I can safely say one in four Compaq models has a service advisory issued for it. That means that you could have a Compaq that has a ticking bomb inside. And guess what happens if you are out of warranty when a part with known issues fails you are out of luck, for Compaq will not replace it for free. Dell, on the other hand, handles those types of situations a bit differently. Instead of waiting for something to fail before fixing other problems, Dell will alert you to the problem and make necessary replacements. On a recent issue, Dell demonstrated this process. Some laptops on their Latitude line where shipped with a defective memory module. Dell sent a letter explaining the situation to every Latitude owner that could have been affected by this faulty memory. In addition, they sent a diagnostic diskette that tested the machine to see if it had the faulty memory. If you did have the memory, they would replace it for free. In my opinion, that is the proper way to handle a problem. Dell did get some criticism over this issue because they did not announce the problem as soon as they found out that some of the memory was defective. There were several reasons for this, and each is very valid. First off, they needed to research the problem to find out just who was affected. Secondly, they need time to develop the diagnostic software to identify the problem. And third, they needed to ensure they had a large supply of replacement memory modules. -Hardware: Compaq and Dell hardware is quite different. In fact, Compaq hardware is quite different from most pc manufactures. A lot of the Compaq hardware is proprietary, meaning you can only obtain it from Compaq. This is very common with their floppy drives. Usually, their floppy drives have an open face, and the slot is actually molded into the front of the case. If you need a floppy drive, you must obtain one from Compaq. Even on standard interface devices, Compaq makes things difficult. Some video cards use the APG interface, yet have a proprietary slot cover. Once again, if you want to upgrade your graphics card, you have to obtain a Compaq card. Out of warranty hardware from Compaq is very expensive. Dell is a different story. If your floppy drive goes bad and your PC is out of warranty, you can get one from CompUSA, or anywhere for that matter, for Dell sticks to standards. -Software: From time to time, you find yourself in a situation where you need to reload Windows. Not a problem if you have a Dell. Just run the Disk Maker utility and make diskettes for all your drivers. Then, pop in the Windows CD and go to work. If you have a Compaq however, you may have your work cut out for you. Several different models of Compaq ship with no Windows CD, only a Quick Restore CD. That means that you cant just reinstall Windows. Instead, it will wipe the driveall applications, data, etcand then install Windows and all applications that originally shipped with your PC. When its finished, your PC is just like it was when it was shipped. And guess what; if you get your PC serviced and the technician needs to reload Windows, he will use the Quick Restore. Bye-bye data, bye-bye applications, bye-bye games. You should have had a backup. If you are one of the lucky ones that actually got a Windows CD, you still have to get your drivers from Compaqs website. Only you wont be looking for drivers, youll be looking for Softpaqs. Thats what Compaq calls any download and they are all named SP#####, where # represents a 5 digit number. When you find the softpaqs you need, you will want to download them to your hard drive. When you execute your softpaq, it will do one of three things. A: it will ask for a diskette and copy an image to that diskette. B: it will extract to the hard drive in the same directory as the exe. This means 25 files dumped to the desktop if that was where you downloaded the file. Or C: it will copy files to the hard drive, then require that you run a batch file to create diskettes. There is no real way to see what your softpaq is going to do until it is executed. -Summary: If you havent figured it out by now, I definitely prefer Dell to Compaq. From my experiences, Dell is genuinely dedicated to customer satisfaction, and Compaq is only worried about its bottom line. ================Update 10-31-03================== Now that the Compaq brand is flying under the HP flag, I've seen a number of improvements, particularly in customer service. However, it seems there are still many proprietary hardware components being used, so my preference remains Dell. |

Minimum Stay | 7 nights |
Privately owned Casa Solana fits neatly into Bedar village, known as 'Hilltop Heaven'. The villa offers modern amenities equipped to a high standard. The large roof terrace boasts panoramic sea/mountain views, is ideal for dining/sunbathing and is not overlooked. The entrance hall leads to a spacious lounge with French doors to corner balcony, dining area with French doors to Juliet balcony, fully fitted kitchen and shower room with toilet and basin. The lower ground floor comprises fully fitted main bathroom with overbath shower, 2 double bedrooms 1 with kingsize bed and 1 with twin beds, and 1 single bedrooms all with ample wardrobe/drawer space. Sat.TV, CD player & radio. Within easy reach of village shops and restaurants. ONLY 50M FROM VILLA, NEWLY BUILT LARGE VILLAGE POOL,LIFEGUARD,SUNBEDS, FACILITES, OPEN JULY/AUGUST
Weekly Linen Change: My local English contact will be available for your assistance and will provide a weekly linen change and cleaning between lets. You will arrive to a spotless villa, made-up beds ready to relax in and a welcome pack in the fridge comprising water, milk, orange juice, bread, spread, sugar, tea, coffee and a bottle of red wine.
Facilities in the surrounding area: For those seeking all the facilities of a modern Spanish holiday, the villa is only 20 minutes away from the beach resort of Mojacar Playa and the fishing port of Garrucha. Extensive outdoor weekly markets are held Wednesdays in Mojacar Pueblo and Fridays in Garrucha and Turre. There are many excellent restaurants in these towns and nearby villages serving tapas, traditional Spanish food and seafood, and also Indian, Italian and Chinese cuisine. For golfers there are 4 courses within a short drive from Bedar and for children there is a water park and Mini Hollywood to visit where they can learn about Clint Eastwood and the Spaghetti Westerns.
Walking in and around Bedar: There are many scented promenades if you choose to walk in Bedar, El Pinar, Los Gallardos and surrounding areas. A mining area until the 1920s you will find evidence of caves, once lived in by the workers, and a railway track, now defunct, which constitutes an interesting walk where you will see the odd tunnel cut through the mountain side or a huddle of stones that may have been an engine house. If you leave Bedar and head through the hills towards La Serena and El Campico you will experience the solitude of the tiny villages and hamlets and see (and smell!) the goat farm in El Campico. But to counteract that you can wander through the hills and marvel at the space, peace and beauty of the mountains and brush your way through rosemary, thyme and sage growing wild and releasing a heady perfume. The older villagers still collect these herbs for their traditional dishes. Some of the walks are displayed on notice boards throughout the villages.
We stayed here last August and we had a fantastic time. We had a death in the family and was not sure we were going to be able to go on holiday. Shirley went above and beyond the call of duty. Shirley was so helpful with organising a car for us (as again we could not book a car as it was touch and go wheather we would get to Bedar). Shirley was also so helpful with her advise on local walks, restaurants etc.
Casa Solana was perfect in every way, stunning views, spotlessly clean, also plently of information regarding the local area (a first for us and we have rented many times in Spain and never had any local maps let alone information on the area).
The village of Bedar is beautiful and the best place we have stayed in Spain in terms of spanish feel, fabulous walks, views to die for and the locals really make an effort to speak to you and encourage you to speak spanish. The local market was lovely too as was the local restaurants.
We cannot fault this holiday at all and would recommend to others. We would definately go back.
Thank you once again Shirley for all your help prior to our holiday which was much needed after all we went through.
We loved our stay in Bedar and had a wonderful holiday. Casa Solana is superb and everything we could possibly have wanted was there, thank you! We're really missing having breakfast overlooking the mountains and sea and would certainly hope to return.
Bedar is a lovely village and we were lucky to be there for the annual three day fiesta, it was also a perfect location as a starting point for 'days out'. We did the circular walk which was great, the most amazing views - having clocked it on the pedometer at about 8 miles we felt quite pleased with ourselves!
Being great animal lovers we also became temporary 'dog walkers' at PAWS the local animal welfare shelter (about 10 mins drive from Casa Solana) and attended one of their fund raising evenings. If you're not already aware of the charity their shop is on the front at Mojacar.
Julie & Neil - Great Missenden, Bucks
My partner and I stayed in the villa mid January 2008 and had a wonderful time. The villa is spacious, bright and airy and very clean and well maintaned.
We spent many an happy afternoon just basking lazily on the sun terrace which has some fabulous views of the surrounding area.
The village of Bedar is very quaint and typically Spanish and has some splendid restaurants.
For anyone who likes a little more activity the walking around Bedar and the surrounding area is ideal.
The village is within driving distance from many of the surrounding villages and is an ideal place to set up base camp.
I definately recommend Casa Solana and will staying again next year.
Gaynor from Yorkshire
The Andalucian village of Bedar, established by the Moors, is tucked away high in the Sierra de los Filabres. Its charm lies in its narrow streets, its white village houses adorned with blossoms, and its endless sunshine. There are 5 restaurants, a bank, a mini-supermarket, a general store, a doctor's surgery, a chemist and a large municipal swimming pool open during the summer months. Walking in the blissful quiet of the countryside is one of the joys of staying in Bedar, and this part of Andalucia is a haven for the tortoise, the crested lark, the wild boar, the ibix and the Spanish fox. There is nothing the Spanish love more than fiestas which appear at regular intervals throughout the year and you cannot enter the village without saying hola to everyone you meet. Bedar is 20 minutes away from the resort of Mojacar Playa and Mojacar Pueblo (Mojacar village) with its panoramic views. Nearby is the village of El Pinar, and small towns Los Gallardos, Turre & the fishing port Garrucha.
Golf: There are 4 golf courses within a short drive. Valle Del Este Golf, one of Spain's unique courses, is an 18 hole PGA course situated just outside Vera. This desert course with is island trees and fairways has some great changes of elevation making the course exciting to experience. Between Garrucha and Mojacar is Marina del Torre Golf. The 18 hole course design includes 3 lakes strategically situated and the wonderful views change throughout the course. Desert Springs Golf is situated between the reservoir at Cuevas del Almanzora and the charming fishing village of Villaricos. The springs, watercourses, dry river beds, rock, cactus areas and sand traps are strategically placed throughout the course. Desert Springs captures the essence of what it is that sets golf apart from other sports. Cortijo Grande Golf, once a farming estate, has been transformed into a 9 hole golf course, still abundant with oranges, lemons, grapes and figs. This is a very popular and challenging course.

Sieglinde Ausf.
Digital Art
Drawings & Paintings
Rough color concept for "Operation: Dragon Slayer"
The Pzf III Sieglinde first appeared in the early 1940s, ushering a quantum leap in German walking panzer design as they goose stepped under Brandenburg Gate. Beyond a considerable increase in stature and technical sophistication from the preceding Pz I Alberich and Pzf II Mime, the new Pzf IIIs bore a far more anthropomorphic design aesthetic. The Sieglinde's mimicry of German foot soldiers, culminating in an absurd Stahlhelme styled head, was originally intended only for purposes of military pageantry and the hyperbolic spectacle of Nazi rallies. But when the Fuhrer laid eyes on the first, more practically designed combat models, he was incensed, demanding that the Sieglinde's inaugural parade fittings would be made standard throughout all further production models. Despite the nervous explanation of Pzf manufacturers that the parade models had purely superficial features such as nonfunctional fingers (with cannon's welded directly to the Sieglinde's arms) Hitler would not be placated by anything less than the materialization of his new vision; an army of fully articulated giant soldiers.
And so it was, after an intense crash course for Pzf industrial firms in applying advanced mechanical theory, that the German army would begin to mass produce walking panzers of highly fanciful design. Despite the obvious impracticality of such war machines, the Sieglinde's anthropomorphized appearance was a distinguishing feature which was destined to be imitated by almost every subsequent walking armor design to appear in WWII. Not to be outdone by his ally, Mussolini also demanded that all Italian walking talks be designed w/ similar considerations to stylization and military pomp. The fact that Italian designs were even more technologically challenged and blithely useless than the first German models, did not stop them from going so far as to embellish the helmets of some with huge feathered plumes.
Short of donning actual Romanesque crest to their walking tanks, the Allied powers did in fact follow suit with increasingly anthropomorphic models. Manipulating the industrial might of Russia to his whim was a far easier task for Stalin than it was for the US Chief of Staff George Marshall to sway Congress towards dedicating mass military resources towards, what was essentially, following in the footsteps of madness. His herculean efforts were largely alleviated by a surge of public support following a Times Square parade of M-1 helmet totting giant GI's. The mere presence of these newer more relatable titans in American propaganda posters, contrasting those terrifying Nazi newsreel monsters, was enough to inspire an overwhelming nation-wide increase in war bond purchases.
The Sieglinde effectively introduced what would be the standard layout for most walking tanks to follow;
-Arms and legs capable of simulating most basic human movements.
-Engine situated in the lower waist section bellow the waist ring.
-Crew of at least 3 men crammed into the upper hull/torso, including, minimally, a driver, gunner, and commander.
-Rear exit hatch/point of entry.
-A humanized head with clever optics systems conveyed via periscope to the commander's seat directly bellow.
-Complex analog computers for calibrating various hand weapon types to the gunner's sights offset in the hull.
Being one of the first pioneers in this new era of warfare did not exempt the Sieglinde from a colorful history of teething troubles. All manner of technical issues were encountered on various fronts; from sand fouling joint-works in the Libyan desert, to freezing weather completely disabling optic systems on the Russian steppe. From the very start, Sieglinde's original 37mm hand weapons, direly outranged by larger Allied guns, and insufficient for penetrating formidable armor specimens like the French Charlemagne, were limited in size by the max carrying capacity of it's primitive joint construction and mechanical articulation. The basic design, however, like the Panzer III with which it shares a numerical designation, was well suited to a program of continuous improvement. From the Ausf. J version onward, the Pzf III was capable of arming a much more powerful 5 cm high velocity gun, though even this was nearing a state of ineffectiveness by the time of it's implementation. Late Sieglinde models could even accommodate a low-velocity 7.5cm HE gun on their shoulder mounts, but suffered dramatically limited movement in terms of elevation/depression and traverse compared to cannons equipped by hand. That it was already rendered definitively obsolescent by superior Allied designs (such as the seminal Russian Kirov) in the early 1940s, didn't prevent the Pzf III Sieglinde from continuing service as a support vehicle for larger newer Pzfs on all fronts up to the final months of the war.

NICE! And the torso ring is well protected under the armored skirt! Nice touch! I take it it uses hand held weapons for dealing with armored foes.
The following is just me thinking out loud:
If you added some auto-loading mortars on the sloped armor to the rear of the arms it would add to the machine's utility. (just a thought, not a criticism) Another random thought: if you put a recoilless rifle on the turret looking over the "shoulder" it could be slaved to the commander's optics in the head. If it took a hit and catoed, the machine could carry on with minor repairs.
I love the ladder and crew hatch in the back! That is a very good design feature. Even if the machine is knocked on it's backside, the crew can still get out. (that is a design feature sadly missing on a lot of mecha designs, as if the machine falls the wrong way, the crew is trapped and helpless)
Does it have a roll up chain ladder to get the crew up to the first rung? Or a retracted solid ladder under the skirt? Or does it kneel for the crew to load up? If it's the latter there will have to be some kind of extension mechanism for the forward part of the foot so it can rotate the 70-80 degrees necessary to kneel.
None of this is criticism, just me throwing a few ideas into the mix. Great work as always!

Thanks for the comments, Mike! Yes, hand weapons and possibly shoulder mounted ones for dealing w/ armor.
-there is a certain type of German internal grenade launcher/mortar thingy with a very long and bizarre name that escapes me right now. But I believe it was used as a defensive anti-infantry weapon on some Tigers. I wonder if that would do the trick.
-are you suggesting something like a predator-style shoulder mounted recoilless rifle?
-Didn't think about how the hull shape keeps the crew from being trapped in that regard, but good of you to notice. It probably also would prevent it from ever being knocked flat on it's back -would likely roll to the side. In which case, if it were still functional, might be able to get back on it's feet unassisted. Maybe not.
-On other mechs, that rear hatch might indeed get blocked in a knock-down scenario, if the rear platform isn't sturdy enough to support the weight. But, most probably have at least one upper hatch as an alternative, fore or aft of the head ring. Some might even have a door under the arms (bellow the armpit).
-A chain or rope ladder would be desirable carryon for any crew. Short of that, a knotted rope is better than nothing. But Sieglinde is more crew friendly than most in terms of mounting and dismounting. From kneeling position, the skirt on the lower 2 models is almost low enough for spry crewmen to shimmy up the rungs on the back. But a short retractable extension underneath is possible. Since the bottom SS version is a premium custom model, I think the under-skirt ladder could extend almost all the way to ground level. A nice convenience for the pampered female commander. On the top DAK version, with no rear skirt protection, you can see how the short ladder extension retracts directly into the tail end. Only long enough for kneeling mounts tho. By necessity, I imagine that most crews become very good climbers after a short time in action. They might even weld on supplementary foot and handholds depending on what is convenient for them.
-Yeah, most mechs would want to have a kneeling function for tactical utility as well as crew loading needs. This isn't obvious at all the way most of them are designed. But the functionality would have to somehow be there in the engineering of the foot.
-On a side note, this just turned my thoughts back towards an older quandary about how Russian troops can pile onto a mech the way they did w/ their tanks. They'd need something to extend the utility of the rear platform... something like a big human-carrying backpack. Or a shark cage.

I was actually thinking something like War Machine's shoulder mount mini-gun on a hydraulic gimbal, only in recoilless rifle form. Kind of like the shoulder mount cannons you see on some Gundams and mobile suits.
I agree, having a secondary means of egress would be a great ideal. I'd put it on top of the torso near the head, as the machine is unlikely to be stuck head down and the primary hatch still be blocked. Not to mention in a desert battlefield it would almost be a necessity to cool the crew compartment.
And I agree on the skirt. They might weld on some rungs onto the backs of the legs. That would allow two crew-members them to start mounting at the same time. Another thing I like about this model is that the crew can mount safely even under small arms fire using the legs and torso armor as cover.
I like the ideal of the cage on the back for infantry with the Soviet models. Though with the Soviet mentality I doubt it would be a full cage. More likely a catwalk type affair about the level of the torso ring so they could fire over the shoulder of the machine, using the upper torso armor as cover and chain or rope ladders to get to and from the platform. Be a good place to put snipers if the machine was stationary, as they could have a commanding view of the battlefield, yet they would be hard to hit from the ground because of the angles involved.
As for the foot on this model and kneeling, I was thinking a telescoping mechanism that extends the foot further down for kneeling. Possibly acting as a hydraulic shock absorber mechanism too? Thinking of custom cars that have hydraulics rather than regular shock absorbers and can cause the car to jack up in the back or front or one side, or bounce up and down on the front wheels.

The hydraulic gimbal shoulder mount is an interesting idea. Especially like the idea of slaving it to head movement. Being lightweight, such a weapon wouldn't be too cumbersome for a light mech like Sieglinde to equip on the shoulder. I imagine such a thing could be manually reloaded by crew on the rear platform? Adding an auto-loader would detract from the weapon's unobtrusiveness.
In general, larger shoulder cannons on heavier mechs probably only have up/down depression/elevation ability, achieving left/right traverse from waist movement. You'd want them to pivot upwards so as not to obstruct head sights or movement, not to mention granting some AA ability. A must for long-range artillery as well.
In the future I'd like to show more application of shoulder mounted weapons, varying payload options for different mech types, and explore tactical utility involved.
One nice thing about Russian mechs... you don't have to think too hard about devising creature comforts for the crew or hitchhiking infantry.
So... looks like I need to study some low-rider suspension systems.
Excellent idea.
Most premium heads also have external speaker systems so in theory they could indeed cruise in style.

Well, if you had it fed by a belt like a machine gun, then the belt could run through a flexible track back to an ammo locker on the machine's back. (kind of like the belt feed on some miniguns) So, it wouldn't really be much more obtrusive than the machine is already.
Though for being unobtrusive a tall upright machine with a head isn't exactly going to be compromised by a gun on it's shoulder. And given that it's a light mech it's doubtful that it'd be carrying a heavy cannon. More likely it'd be carrying a medium weight (at most) recoilless or a fairly light hand held cannon weapon. Another good possibility for a mech in this class would be a hand held rocket/missile launcher. They are relatively light (compared to a tank's main gun) and pack a heavy punch. Maybe a drum feed? Kind of like the hand held grenade launchers we have now? Though that might fit the American machines better because it'd look like a Tommy Gun. (Thomson sub-machine gun, with a drum magazine)
And considering it's designed for infantry suppression as it's primary role, the recoilless would make sense as they could be used for shelling fortified farm houses etc. (so would the mortar too) I doubt this model would be able to go head to head with even a heavily armed medium machine without being shredded. So, it's artillery piece would be more self defense/anti-infantry, rather than designed to take on heavy armor.
If I'm envisioning this machine's role properly it's for light hit and run attacks against infantry that have little or no armor support. So, a recoilless or rocket gun would be perfect for that sort of mission. Also if it was doing recon, a heavy weapon would only limit it's mobility.
Another odd ideal would be a hand held Panzerfaust, not the kind with a shield like your other machines but, more like the infantry model. Since the mech has a head, it could conceivably fire a shoulder launched rocket like an infantryman. Using the head optics to use a modified sight on the side of the launcher rather than the top. Just an ideal to kick around.
And I have a great appreciation for shoulder mounted weapons. They make a whole lot of sense. Especially since you can keep firing them while running full tilt away from your enemies! LOL
But, shoulder mounts have other benefits too. For one thing the machine doesn't have to expose itself as much to fire over cover. A hand held has to be held at the machine's hip, or put up to "shoulder" height, exposing more of the machine to return fire. In this regard, mecha of this type could fight from a trench or from behind a building effectively. Even a turreted machine would have to expose itself more to fire. And if the machine does away with the head, the gun itself could mount the optics.
Another advantage is that you can do away with the turret system with the heavy motors to rotate the turret. And since the shoulder mount is free to rotate in any direction and doesn't have the weight of a tank turret, it can rotate and acquire targets much more quickly. That's why an auto loader would make so much sense for the weapon. A shoulder mount could fire on 3 targets in the time that it would take a conventional tank to fire on one.
It also leaves the arms free to, say, pull a comrade's machine out of the line of fire, while still being able to return fire at the same time. Not to mention that the machine could hold a sacrificial shield to take anti-armor shells in front of itself with both hands and still fire on the enemy in an assault. (something like being able to fire a gun over the rim of a riot shield while advancing)
And yep, the speakers are a great ideal, but, the bass is gonna be drowned out by the artillery for sure! LOL

Even really rough color (like this) helps the concepts immensely. Much easier to interpret complex angular forms as opposed to B&W. I always imaged these models in these specific colors. So they finally feel more 'real' to me, even if not looking perfectly pretty. Sort of relaxes a muscle in the imagination.
Bottom one still not 100% great IMO. It's the damn arms and shoulders. But top 2 are right where I want 'em in terms of shape. One day I'll have to see them w/ dirt and gear and texture, weapons, etc...
but lots mechs need love in the meantime.

I don't know. I like the shoulder and upper arms of the bottom one. ONly thing which I don't like so much is the round shape in the front view. In the side view it looks okay,although I don't know if it would obstruct bending. Ooops. I soo gotta catch the sbahn. More later.

Yeah, I think that's the problem. Those round bits looks interesting from the side but not so great from the front. Of course 3/4 view could reveal something different again. Also not crazy about lower arms in front view.
I just resolved to stop worrying about it for now and move forward despite some lingering ugliness.

However in saying that I would think right now given her situation that her total focus and priority should be on her professional career because that is in freefall ! Given her talent and where she was 2 years ago she is seriously underachieving , she should be in the top 20 now yet is struggling to beat players 200+ ! The fact is she is not progressing the way she should be and actually is going backwards and that should be the real concern ...not an engagement , she is losing valuable time .
She is 21 and I hear he is 20 and look at the situation
To reach the top today you ahve to be totally focused and driven otherwise there is no chance. The game is just to tough and there is too much competition . Fine to just get by and be a middle of the road player content to make up the numbers but to get to that elite top level like the Ivanovic,s, Jankovic,s Sharapova,s, etc there is only one way and that is the players have to be 100% commited and desperation to succeed! That drive and commitment is reflected directly in the decisions and choices and priorities a player makes. Where are Jarka,s priorities right now
is her career number 1
and how much does she have that burning desire and desperation to get to where she should be

The first approach is to say nothing. It's hard to offend if you don't open your mouth. There are any number of proverbs about "the fool" defending this position. It's wise. However, it's not really sustainable in the long run. The conversation around gender and sexuality has become one of the the defining issues facing the church today. As I wrote last week, moderate voices are needed.
The second approach is to equip oneself with the right vocabulary and the right set of expectations. It's hard to offend if you don't say anything offensive. Or at least in theory. In practice, these conversations can be very difficult to navigate, as we'll see. But this approach is known as cultural competency.

Well, I put some work into a Riven fanfiction slightly similar to SpicyJacktheBard's infamous Long Gun of the Law, and I was wondering if you guys want to see it.

Well if you put some more effort into it I don't see why not.

IMO Riven, Lux, Ezreal, Ahri, Shyvana, or any champion really that is either a super badass or animesque in nature is overdone. Not that there isn't anything wrong with another fic for Riven, so long as it is well done, But I'd much rather see a fic centered on, say, Graves, or Sivir or even Morgana (Don't touch Tristana though, I'm kinda working o something for her at the moment).
Alright, I'll be working on it. Instead of my usual 'make it up as I go along,' I'm going to finish it BEFORE posting. It's amazing I didn't think about that before... Anyways, most likely, it'll be up by the end of the week. Keep an eye out!
I cant ever get tired of Riven. She's like my babe when I play LoL. I use her mostly when I'm angry and on a losing streak, but I digress I don't mind another Riven fanfic. But a Sivir fanfic...hmm...interesting. I'll have to get on The Duck for that one.

If you feel up for it, then go for it. Just be careful, these kinds of stories are rather simple to mess up without a lot of forethought and planning. I still look forward to it though!
