Reebok Boots: Men's Black RB8874 Rapid Response EH Composite Toe Military Boots
Having said that; this was my fourth Converse footwear purchase from Working Person. I especially like that when ordering Converse in a WIDE shoe or boot - ...it's WIDE! The safety-toe has been a problem with most manufacturers because they don't widen the toe portion of the shoe/boot much when steel or composite toes are added. Converse made the effort to widen the safety-toe portion as it should be! I can only hope Reebok will continue to do the same. I understand they will continue to use the same manufacturing plants, so it should stay with the previous specs.
As for these C8874 Composite Toe SWAT Military Boots:
The sole was comfortable from day-one! The uppers were the part that took a couple weeks (2-3) to break-in comfortably by wearing every-other-day. Now; they feel great! They are light-weight & I love the zipper side with the Velcro that keeps the zipper up and not flying around. The only improvement I can even think of might be to add a "finger-loop" in the back to aid in pulling the boot onto your foot. Other than that; they made an ideal product!

Jimmy Carter: 'America no longer has a functioning democracy'
Former president Jimmy Carter condemned the effect U.S. intelligence programs had on U.S. moral authority in the wake of NSA revelations brought to light by leaker Edward Snowden, Der Spiegel reports.
"America has no functioning democracy," Carter said at a meeting of The Atlantic Bridge in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday.
Carter also claimed there was currently no reason for him to be "optimistic" about Egypt's internal conflicts and mused whether the standards The Carter Center applies to foreign elections could be fulfilled by U.S. elections, which he believes are plagued by confusing campaign rules and a lack of restrictions on free speech in the wake of the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling.
The former president continued that democratic developments — fueled by sites such as Facebook and Twitter — might be damaged by the NSA revelations, essentially strangling emerging democratic revolutions in the cradle by casting doubt on the social media juggernauts' independent credibility.
Carter is a strident critic of President Barack Obama's anti-terror policies. In 2012, he penned a New York Times op-ed calling the U.S. human rights record "cruel and unusual," denouncing the Obama administration's drone strikes, indefinite detentions and warrantless wiretapping.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 470 SOC review -
Overclocking & Tweaking
Overclocking & Tweaking
As most of you know, with most videocards you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little. You can do this at two levels, namely tweaking by enabling registry or BIOS hacks, or very simply tamper with Image Quality. And then there is overclocking, which will give you the best possible results by far.
What do we need?
One of the best tool for overclocking NVIDIA and ATI videocards is our own Rivatuner that you can download here. If you own an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card then the manufacturer actually has very nice built in options for you that can be found in the display driver properties. Based on Rivatuner you can alternatively use MSI AfterBurner which will work with 90% of the graphics cards out there. We can recommend it very much, download here.
Where should we go?
Overclocking: By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its calculation clock cycles per second. It sounds hard, but it really can be done in less than a few minutes. I always tend to recommend to novice users and beginners, not to increase the frequency any higher than 5% of the core and memory clock. Example: If your card runs at 600 MHz (which is pretty common these days) then I suggest that you don't increase the frequency any higher than 30 to 50 MHz.
More advanced users push the frequency often way higher. Usually when your 3D graphics start to show artifacts such as white dots ("snow"), you should back down 10-15 MHz and leave it at that. Usually when you are overclocking too hard, it'll start to show artifacts, empty polygons or it will even freeze. Carefully find that limit and then back down at least 20 MHz from the moment you notice an artifact. Look carefully and observe well. I really wouldn't know why you need to overclock today's tested card anyway, but we'll still show it.
All in all... do it at your own risk.
Check out what we accomplished overclocking wise:
|This sample
|Core Clock: 607 MHz
|Core Clock: 700 MHz
|Core Clock: 800 MHz
|Shader Clock: 1212 MHz
|Shader Clock:1400 MHz
|Shader Clock: 1600 MHz
|Memory Clock: 3348 MHz
|Memory Clock: 3348 MHz
|Memory Clock: 4000 MHz
That is a significant increase in performance thanks to the overclock.
Now this was a little surprising, but as you can see, the card can overclock higher and that has a very positive effect on overall performance. We applied a little voltage tweaking here (1 volt on the GPU precisely). Play around with that and you will pass the 750 MHz marker, no doubt, maybe even 800 MHz like we did.
Please do give your SOC card a fixed fan RPM of say 70%, which still isn't too noisy.
Above you can see the overclocked results for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, same image quality settings as before, in DX10 mode. Blue is the default baseline session we showed you, and then in red the overclocked results, and that is just a downright good result. Coming from reference results, that's 25% to 30% additional performance in the GPU intensive resolutions.
- Level Contingency
- 4x Anti-Aliasing
- 16x Anisotropic Filtering
- All settings maxed out
And the last test run, this time with 3DMark Vantage. As you can see we increased the GPU score with roughly 19.000 points to ~20000 on the P score. With the increased FAN RPM temperatures on the GPU will remain at roughly 80 degrees C in this setup. Make very sure your PC is well ventilated.

By general agreement, it wasn't a banner year for documentaries at January's Sundance Film Festival, but one of the stronger entries I saw was Ryan White and Ben Cotner's "The Case Against 8." The HBO film maps out the history of the landmark legal battle over California's Proposition 8 (that's the ban on same-sex marriage, if you're returning from a decade-long Arctic exile) is exhaustive, intelligent detail; it's not a flashy or formally daring documentary, but it's all the more moving for focusing on fundamentals. (You can read my review here.)
HBO today confirmed a release plan for the film: it will hit screens in New York and Los Angeles on June 6, expanding to other cities the following week. Not coming to a theater near you? Don't worry: it'll be televised on HBO shortly afterwards on June 23, the anniversary of last year's Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality. Nice attention to detail there.
HBO Documentary Film president Sheila Nevins states, "We feel it's important to bring the story of the men and women behind this roller-coaster battle to screens across the country, and we're extremely proud to bring attention to a fundamental civil rights issue that faces the country today."
"The Case Against 8" won Cotner and White the Directing Award in the US Documentary section at Sundance, while South By Southwest added to its laurels with an Audience Award. It's certainly one to keep an eye on for next year's documentary Oscar race. Check out Greg Ellwood's interview with the directors above.

I wad just curious if anyone ever got pregnant during your period. I read that it's not likely but it is possible.
Has anyone ever gotten pregnant during your period?
Posted 02/04/2014
Last period started 19 Jan usually lasts 5 days but this time had intercourse on 3rd night and it ended next day... Yesterday morning 3rd Feb I should have been ovulating. But i found what seems to me as implantation bleeding from what other experiences are. Could I be preg ? Been TTC for past 3 months really hope I'm right. Has anyone experienced similar?
Posted 02/08/2014

Awe little sweetie ur too young to get involved with sex. There's so much for you to experience like making school fun while getting good grades ie playing volleyball, soccer, swim team, debate team and school trips etc... Then... college & exploring the world so you can be prepared and have tons to offer a little bundle espically your WHOLE GROWN-UP HEART when it's time:-) && to answer your Q. You very well could be but let's pray not, Amen! And if so I pray you all the best:)

It was the third time that I stay at this two-stars hotel (called 'hostel' for self convenience) since it's the best option for staying no more than one night. There is no kitchen for preparing your own meals but it's possible to get an insipid breakfast for € 3 extra per day. I don't recommend this property during summer season because the 12-bed mixed dorm is wet and stincky and don't believe it's a good place for making new friends. Consider other lodging options in the Pest side of the city.

Some six years ago I edited a crapton of footage for a DVD. The footage was of a band called Thrice. That project nearly killed me. One of the things that kept me going was their goofy antics. This is a video of some of those antics. I find it hilarious.
Bonus: Mike shows up a couple times. He was the band sandwich artist or merch counter or something like that.
Note: These guys are some of my favorite humans.

Accalimed Toronto jazz-guitar institution gets feted at age 80 after dazzling for decades.

The Who's Who of Toronto jazz will find it way to The Glenn Gould Studio stage Nov. 6. But all eyes will likely be on a well-used old guitar propped up on its own in a spotlight. The guitar, a solid-body Fender Telecaster, belongs to Ed Bickert, as will the rest of the night celebrating his 80th birthday and an epic career not likely to be equalled in this city.
"Jazz is imperfect but Ed gets as close to perfection as it gets," says Don Thompson, the bassist/pianist who has played with Bickert for decades. "So many things can go wrong in jazz and often do go wrong. But with Ed you've got to be a million per cent right. But boy does that put you on a spot."
Bickert may or may not agree. It's hard to tell. Famously self-effacing ("I was born to be a side man," he has said) he likely would have been happier all through his five-decade career to leave his famous Fender by itself on stage, if he could have found a way to play it from home. "I've always been a bit — well, more than a bit — apprehensive," Bickert says apprehensively.
Arriving in Toronto in the early '50s from the family farm in Vernon, B.C., Bickert quietly established himself as the city's top dog guitarist. International stars Bickert accompanied — from alto sax Paul Desmond to vibraphonist Milt Jackson to Rosemary Clooney — inevitably had to talk him into touring and then for only a limited time. American jazz critics and deejays recognizing Bickert's excellence were nevertheless forced to tell their audiences about: "the best guitarist you've never heard."
Bickert turned reclusiveness into its own art form. After one Toronto gig years back, Oliver Gannon looked around backstage hoping to hangout with Bickert. No chance. "He was already off stage and on his way home," says the Vancouver guitarist who is appearing on Tuesday's show, being recorded by the CBC's Canada Live!
"I always needed some sort of comfort zone," Bickert tells me on the phone. "I did a lot of touring, particularly with Moe Koffman, but I always wanted to come home. I have family — four kids — and I enjoyed doing things around the home. I didn't have the competitive spirit to fight it out in the (New York) scene."
The musicians who'll play in Bickert's honour on Nov. 6 is a stellar list: Gannon, Thompson, Terry Clarke, Barry Elmes, Oliver Jake Langley, David and Michael Occhipinti, and the list goes on.
Bickert, however, won't be joining in; in 2000 he startled the Toronto jazz scene by quitting playing. "I would hardly know how to hold the guitar," he says. "In 2000, my wife (Madeline) passed away, and I had arthritis and other problems which I got through. There just comes a time you don't want to do it anymore."
Playing or not, his reputation as the most in-tune musician in town will never be challenged. Years ago, during a rehearsal of the Boss Brass, where Bickert was a charter member, a wrong note popped out of the great mass of sound forcing band leader Rob McConnell to flip desperately through multiple pages of the musical score to find what went wrong and where.
"It's the second trombone," Bickert said quietly, before playing from memory the exact chord only with the wrong note where the right one should be.
"That has to be some kind of genius," says Thompson.
Ed Bickert's 80th birthday bash, hosted by CBC broadcaster Katie Malloch, is at Glenn Gould Studio at 7 p.m. Freelance writer Peter Goddard can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

Mar/19 - Honda adds more cars to Takata airbag recall
Honda recently expanded their recall of cars with Takata airbags that have the potential to explode, making the total narly 5.5 million cars and SUVs nationwide. AutoPacific's Dave Sullivan is concerned that consumers have become desensitized to recalls (last year was a industry record for recalls) and will ignore or delay getting things fixed.
Mar/16 - Top luxury brands have luxury of growing lineups
In 2014, BMW offered more models than any of its competitors with 27. In 2015 that number jumps to 35. Luxury brand model counts are growing, especially for the high-volume German brands BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but AutoPacific's Dave Sullivan says despite high sales volumes for the brand, selling such a large number of nameplates could prove a liability for some carmakers. "There's a tremendous cost of keeping all these nameplates," says Sullivan.
Mar/09 - More Americans Opt for Risky Long Term Loans
AutoPacific's Ed Kim spoke with NPR about the new trend in consumers taking out longer term auto loans. According to Kim, consumers haven't yet recovered from the recession, so that new car payment has to be stretched out over more years.
Feb/25 - First Time Buyers: Why Millennials Will Need a Car
Millennials (Gen Y) have, for the past several years, been considered a generation that is uninterested in buying a new vehicle. Rather than lack of interest, however, AutoPacific's Ed Kim and Dave Sullivan say it has more to do with financial ability. But Millennials are getting older and in, or nearing, a lifestage where they're more likely to have a decent-paying job, be starting families and need a car. It was a slow start, but Millennials are positioned to soon become the largest group of new car buyers.
Feb/23 - Average length of car loan jumps, says AutoPacific
According to AutoPacific, the average length of a car loan is currently 66 months, up from 48 months just a few years ago. This is one reason why AutoPacific is forecasting a decline in automotive sales beginning in 2018. "People aren't going to be able to replace their cars as quickly as they have in the past, because they're going to be upside down on those loans for a significantly longer time," says AutoPacific's Ed Kim.

Thing that got me with radio shack in the UK, was the pricing. A 741 op-amp was priced at 59p (one 32nd of my weekly wage at the time. However, because I read Popular Electronics, I knew that the Radio Shack US price was 59c.
With the exception of the TRS80 Model 1, this wasn't a problem (UK price £807, US price $807), as locally I had Waltons, Fenwicks & Lings for loads of interesting parts. Plus there was always Tottenham Court Road at the end of a train journey along with the catalogs for Henrys & Proops Brothers!

I'm now a volunteer for AgeUK, & I teach computing to the older person, (my translation), & I have to say that there is a large waiting list for the course. In many cases, these are people who have never even used a keyboard before, never mind a computer. I will admit that for some, the motivation is for services like Skype, to allow them to keep in touch with their with extended families, for others it merely seems to be a way to keep the lump of grey matter on their shoulders exercised. the oldest person I've had on the course was slightly younger than your mother at 89 - 91, & they were using an iPad, (bought before they had attended the course, & I had advised them on what to purchase).
With regard to public libraries, The times, when out of work I used them to fill in on-line job applications, I was usually frustrated at some point, by incompatible browser software or connection problems. Not to mention access time restrictions.

You're in a self driving car, & the display flashes up "we're going to be in a serious accident, the following link may be of future use", followed by a link to Jones & Sons, family undertakers.
Another one is you're sitting at your desktop & the display shows an advert saying "Your google toilet has detected that you haven't used it for two days, Can we suggest Fred's enema & colinic irrigation service?"
Must drink more coffee.

In my experience, those people who click on the "your pc is running slow"/"your
pc has a virus" type adverts do so because at the bottom it usually states "microsoft certified partner" & they've been 'conditoned' to trust it. As there are always patches & upgrades being downladed to their pc's

You beat me to it. As I started reading the article I thought about putting a TV B Gone in one, it would be perfect1
I seem to recall seeing an RAF year book, just after Concorde had started flying, showing a drawing of a Concorde with RAF roundels carrying three nuclear bombs, with a caption pointing out that it could be our next bomber
I'm another one who remembers the first episode, though at the time, I couldn't understand why the BBC were talking about postponing Dr Who, to show a programme about some guy who had been shot in America the previous day, then again, I was only 12.
(I've told this tale to younger people, & watched them fail to understand just how big & remote the world seemed back then.)
Funny, all the schools & colleges I worked at used a fixed size for user directories, & it took a very persuasive arguement on the part of the user, plus an examination of the current contents of thier user area befor the size ws increased. This was usually only done for year 11 & the sixth form. Worked a treat.
I've always been slightly confused. As I recall the timeline, (from memory, & without consulting a pile of saved web pages), went something like this.
2000 - 2001 Gary McKinnon carries out the hacking.
2002 He's caught & confesses. The US government is asked if they want him prosecuted under UK law, (2 years inside and/or £5000 fine IIRC), they decline.
2004 - 2005 The treaty is signed by David Blunkit, to allow the extradition of terrorists to the US. The US immediately apply for the extradition of Gary McKinnon, amongst others, using this treaty. None of them terrorists, at least as I understand the term.
This is why I say he shouldn't be extradited, tried yes, but extradited for trial in the US, no.
My other "moan" over all this, is that according to what I remember, most of the breaking into the computers happened using the systems default passwords This is despite Clifford Stoll writing the Cuckoo's Egg, 10 years previously, in which he details how the break-in's occurred - using defaut passwords! Was nothing learnt in the intervening years? (Other than by me? :) )
I was under the impression that the first person to suggest a "United States of Europe", was Napoleon Bonaparte while exiled to St Helina
Hang on, who said anything about rectangular shaped desks? surely all apple employees need is a chair & a space for their iPads.
From what I can recall, a large amount of the original cabling, was done by Southwestern Bell
Of course, taking photos, & having a newspaper to publish them in might help :)

Was I the only child who used to jump on the strips to try & get the lights to change? (Traffic was MUCH lighter in those days! :)
In the late1970s, I worked for the third biggest producer of ice cream in the UK. At the time Walls & Loyns Maid had around 80% of the market. Based on this, Walls tried to start a campaign to get people to start referring to ice cream as walls' , in the way that they referred to a vacuum cleaner as a Hoover, or a ballpoint pen as a Biro.
I know, where are the Mythbusters when you need them?
On seeing the first picture, my inital thought was, that someone had scattered giant licorice allsorts on the floor.
I admit that gas is better. However, from what I've read in the past, We only have enough storage to last about two weeks with current usage. It would have been nice to seen some indication of forethought on this in the inital stages. Instead of what seems like undue haste in rushing things through.
Doh!! twings == twinges.
(blame it on my laptop keyboard!)
Regarding book plots, I thought the book "Web" by the same author, far more frightening with regard to spiders. I admit I'm not an arachanphobe, but I had one or two twings after reading it.
In Wolverhampton there is a lampost I pass everyday, with an A4 piece of card fastened around it, which has a QR code on it & nothing else. I've often wondered just where it leads, (I don't have a phone capable of utilising it), & how many people have accessed it. Has anyone tried something like this? Thing is, it's scary just how gullable some people are.
No way, Satan wouldn't want the competition!
> Not to mention, there are millions of geeks out there for whom $35 is small change and they will want one even if it ends up in a drawer, having been hardly used.
I thought RS & Farnell were trade only organisations?
The most obvious problem I can see is that your average user might think it's a pop-up screen from a piece of malware & do what they've been told to do so many times, & ignore it
Simon Round and The Fuzzy Whatnot.
Hmm sounds like a good name for a pop group!
I prefer Phase IV
Why are Apple's lawyers kicking up a fuss? They should be glad, as they're getting to travel to exotic places around the world for free. Us ordinary mortals have to pay large sums of money for the same privilege!
Simple, you'd most likely have a lot of interest from PC Plod & co, plus a lot of inquiries for prices.
Did this article immediately bring a picture of the defendants wearing t-shirts/jump suits with adverts on them?
1 When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2 The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
I seem to recall that we've been here before, fortunately things got canned then, so let's hope that they get cannd again.
Every time I hear this argument, I'm reminded of Issac Asimov's short story, "The Last Question".

About this location
The Algarve region
Geographically located central to the Algarve near the picturesque fishing village of Olhos d'Agua. A small friendly fishing village where you can still see to the local fishermen hauling in the day's catch on the beach - but after dark, it puts on its tourist hat. It doesn't go party crazy like Albufeira, about 5 minutes' drive away, but the clutch of restaurants and bars here aren't quite as sleepy as they make out. Olhos d'Agua offers many great traditional restaurants, bars and small boutiques.
The local beach has soft golden sand and shallow waters that are good for little paddlers. framed by golden cliffs There are also plenty of little rock pools to explore. The ocean, in every shade of blue and mostly calm and warm, invites you for long swims and to indulge in water sports.
A couple of large supermarkets are to be found in Olhos d'Agua as well as Pine Cliffs, a stunning 9-hole golf course with its challenging 9th hole, called the Devil's parlour.
Villa Moura, only a 15 minute drive away offers 9 x 18-hole golf courses.

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at Villa Sereia. A large family group of 11, ages ranging from 63 to 1, the villa was perfect for all of us. Right from the start, the booking went smoothly and communication with Birgit was always promptly answered.
The villa on arrival was beautifully clean and arriving earlier wasn't a problem. The outside area was excellent and the covered eating area was used every day.
The villa itself was ideal for larger groups or 3 families (as we were). The large kitchen was great for preparing meals all together. The english sockets were very useful!
This is definitely home from home. We were well looked after during our stay by Artur and Margarida.
Having been to the Algarve for a fair few years, this has to be one of the better villas we have stayed in.
Thank you Birgit, Jose, Artur and Margarida for a wonderful stay at Villa Sereia.
Thank you for posting such a wonderful review! We hope to welcome you back in the near future. Jose & Birgit

"Fantastic villa"
We have just stayed in villa sereia for 14 nights - there were 9 including a 5 and a 7 Year old. Each family had their own area in the villa - one family upstairs, one downstairs then the grandparents… More
Thank you for your review. We are very happy to hear you had a great stay in villa Sereia and made good use of the spaces available. We look forward to welcoming you again.

"A villa that we would be more than happy to return to"
Having a large family party of 16, ranging in ages from 2 to 70 we have always struggled to find a villa within the Albufeira area that meets our needs and have had to make compromises to find suitable accommodation. Villa Sereia met and exceeded all our expectations and is by far the best villa we have stayed in. On future visits to the area, we have all agreed that we would not need to search any further and it would be a pleasure to return for a second time.
The villa and grounds were spotless and more than adequately equipped
Both the owners and the ladies in the resort were very professional and extremely helpful.
John / June and Family
Hi, thank you very much for taking the time of writing your wonderful review :-) It is always welcoming to hear appreciative words. Thank you for choosing Villa Sereia and look forward to welcoming you in the near future

"Beware deposit keepers"
As a couple of previouse reviews we found the villa lacking in not been cleaned properly , ie draws dirty food left in fridges , towels , old and worn , cob webs Brocken lights , sun beds , CRACKED si… More
NOT A REVIEW this is sour grapes.
May 29th. We emailed (and have copies of all email exchanges) as we always do on our guests' return, to welcome them back and to get feedback regarding their holiday. We also explained that we would withhold their deposit because of damage done during their stay to the bathroom basin which meant the basin and oak unit needed to be replaced. The cost of replacing the bathroom basin and unit and plumber's call out and labour fees exceeded the breakage deposit.
June 2nd Their email response was "Hi, just to let you know that we had a fab holiday in your lovely villa, thank you so much"
June 13th We reminded them of our email of the 29th May as they did not respond to our email and mentioned again that we are withholding their breakage deposit due to the damage to the bathroom basin.
June 13th Client's reply: "The basin was never used"
June 13th Our reply: "It seems odd that the downstairs basin does not get used during an entire stay with toilet facilities inside these rooms."
June 13th Client's reply: "The sink was cracked and pointed out to the lady" (Margarida)
August 12th. We received a phone call from a member of the group we have not spoken to before asking when they would receive their deposit. We again explained that the bathroom basin had been damaged and to her surprise she did not have any knowledge of a broken bathroom basin, she had been told by the group leader that it was the kitchen sink that was claimed to be damaged.
We have worked with Margarida (our rep) for over 20 years and have no reason to doubt or disbelieve her. Our rep confirmed the basin was not damaged prior to the client's arrival and no mention was ever made to our rep with reference to a cracked bathroom basin.
There are many inconsistencies in the client's emails and correspondences. Starting off by originally saying "what a lovely holiday they had in our fab villa" and in their review they listed items taken from a previous review a year ago, which were issues resolved and dealt with, to claiming to have never used the basin to then changing it to saying they reported the crack.
We received a letter recently from a member of the group, black mailing / threatening us:
"let's resolve this matter before it gets out of hand and we start putting these comments on your website, which we all are aware can be very damaging"
It would have been cheaper to have returned the client's deposit then to have this unjust review on Tripadvisor, however, out of principal we will not give in to blackmail and the whole purpose of the breakage deposit is to safeguard our property. In 27 years of trading we have only withheld security deposits on 2 occasions. 1 x stag group who caused a great deal of damage to the property and 2 on this occasion.
We hope future guests can see from our many excellent reviews including one prior and after these guests that the material written in their review is untrue and totally sour grapes from their prospective.
We have always and will continue to strive in providing our guests a memorable and positive stay in Villa Sereia.

"Lovely villa, great service"
Staying at villa Sereia was a wonderful experience. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and there is a huge amount of living space so even at full capacity it never feels crowded. We spent most of our time in the outside area- the pool, pizza oven and sunshine are a winning combo. Not only were the facilities fantastic, there was a really efficient service and any requests were very quickly dealt with. I would recommend staying here for a really relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
Thank you for choosing Villa Sereia and for your great feedback. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future.

Myself and a few girlfriends booked the villa for a few days as a short break. I wish we didn't have to leave! The villa was spotlessly clean, with so much room, yet still felt homely. It's equipped with everything you could possibly need, from towels to sun loungers, bottle openers, microwave etc. The villa is absolutely gorgeous and the bedrooms have beautiful decor, it really is staying in luxury. It's only a very short cab ride to the strip or it's lovely enough to stay in, get the BBQ on and bring in some jugs of sangria. Couldn't recommend it enough.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and very happy to hear you had an amazing stay in Villa Sereia :-)

"First class accommodation, amenities and service"
Fourteen members of our family stayed at the villa with an age range of 6 to 77 and we had the most fabulous time. The villa is spacious and comfortable, the pool is a decent size and the play station, pool table and table tennis were all used daily. One of the best features is the outdoor pizza oven and BBQ. We cooked on it daily and some of our best efforts were amazing home made pizza's, delicious bbq's and we even cooked a large joint of pork slowly for over 10 hours...it was delicious!
It is worth paying extra for the pool to be heated as its heated to a really comfortable temperature.
You will need a car if you stay at the villa for supermarket shopping and the village of Olhos de Agua is also a little gem. Vilamoura and Albeferia are easy to drive to.
There is also a nice little restaurant across the road.
Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. We are happy to hear you and your family had a great time and enjoyed Villa Sereia's facilities. Hope to welcome you again in the near future. Jose & Birgit

"Amazing Time at Villa Sereia"
Having just returned from a fabulous trip to Villa Sereia I can't recommend this villa enough. The villa is slightly out of the main strip, and costs around €8 to get into the centre of Albufeira, taxis are easy to get as well. The villa itself has a really beautiful pool area and everything you could need from a villa, Birgit and Jose the owners were so quick to sort out minor issues mostly within an hour which is incredible. I would not hesitate in recommending this villa and would strongly advise you to book.
Response to review:
Many thanks for your kind comments. We try hard to make the villa as comfortable and homely as possible. We are constantly looking at ways to improve the experience for our guests and each year carry out renovation/improvement works. We hope to see you return to Villa Sereia in the future

"Excellent villa with everything you need"
We travelled as a group of friends but could easily see this villa accommodating families. Despite there being 7 of us we had a bedroom each with nobody being allocated a small room. It was really cle… More
Thank you for choosing Villa Sereia! We are happy that you had a great time in the Villa. Villa Sereia is ideally situated in a quiet location away from the hussle and bustle but close enough if you want to go into town. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Jose & Birgit

A quarter of a million pounds' worth of stuff by BBC staff over the last two years. Three times as much lost by government departments, more than £600,000-worth by the MoD alone. Ten thousand pieces of luggage a day gone missing in the USA.
Wheelchairs and wedding dresses at Waverley Station, nearly 9,000 mobile "devices" lost each year in Washington taxis, 85,000 phones (not to mention 21,000 PDAs – remember PDAs? – and "pocket PCs" lost in Chicago in one year, and that was 2005 when stuff was bigger. Lost.
Three hundred mobile phones a week in Disneyland. This stuff is prosaic. What about the lawnmower, the quarter-of-a-million-quid bag of (perhaps, maybe, just, ever-so-slightly moody) Rolexes, the human skulls, the breast implants, and the lawnmower lost on London Transport, except, as in all these cases, when we say "lost" we mean "found". The French have it right. No Lost Property Office for them, but Bureau des Objets Trouvés. Your loss is my find.
Guess where a fishing rod, a chess clock, a toaster, a ballet skirt, three crutches (miracle! miracle!), a miniature Doberman, a milk tooth and a set of dentures were found.
The Munich Oktoberfest. Come on. The chess clock and the Doberman should give it away. And 18 children. (The children were reclaimed.)
Beer and stuff. A dangerous mixture. The wise drinker leaves home with nothing in his pockets except the amount of cash he's prepared to drink, lose or have pinched and, possibly, a bottle-opener. Only a fool goes out for an evening's beerfesting with a ballet skirt, a fishing rod, a toaster and 18 children. Either a fool or someone with an extraordinarily intricate private life.
A hostage to fortune, this stuff. We don't cope at all well. An NOP poll found that twice as many men as women swear when they lose stuff: 28 per cent as opposed to 12 per cent. And twice as many women cry as men. I suspect it doesn't matter whose stuff is lost: the men are swearing at the women. I am a man, and if I can't find my glass eye/wooden leg/18 children/toaster, it's your fault and I swear at you. You can't find your stuff, that's your fault too, and I swear at you. The custom of the ages: Man Swear, Woman Cry. Women, on the other hand, "resort to violence". I like that "resort", as if it's the last step in the process. Not at all. Kicking and punching things (including the men, who nevertheless carry on swearing) is an instant response.
Guess what the most common lost thing is?
Yes! Knickers!
Guess where the most common place to find them is?
Yes! Behind the sofa! Along with, I suppose, the £40m in loose change which the Halifax claims is down the back of British sofas, probably doing about as well as squirrelling it away with the Halifax, times being what they are. Pesky thing, the sex drive.
It eats time. Not sex. Looking for stuff. We each spend a year of our lives looking for stuff, according to some estimates. A pity we can't get it all over at once, immediately after graduation, perhaps; it would in the long run be more profitable than doing that M.Phil. And think of the haul. A park bench, waterskis, a Chinese typewriter, a Tibetan bell, a "badly stuffed bald eagle, complete with half-eaten pigeon in its beak", a do-it-yourself vasectomy kit, a jar of false eyeballs, another jar – of bull sperm, a garden slide, a divan, a bishop's crook, three gas masks, a stuffed puffer fish and two-and-a-half hundredweight of sultanas. You could furnish a house, get Type 2 diabetes and create artificial life with that lot – and that's only the Transport for London list. The British Library's lost a century-old Manchester City football programme, 17 Rolling Stones albums, four Shakespeare plays, three Asterix comics, two books on Jack the Ripper, the biographies of Bob Geldof, Tina Turner and Bob Dylan and a Jamie Oliver cookbook. "Come in, darling. Help yourself to a sultana – they're by the Chinese typewriter – while I slam in the lamb. I wonder if Tina Turner liked Asterix? By the way, did I mention I've been consecrated to the episcopate?"
An entire life, lost and reassembled. A wonder. And if you felt the need to protect your found stuff, why, nothing could be easier than assembling your own private militia. Out there somewhere are 34 policemen's helmets, 83 peaked caps, 111 pairs of gloves, 42 pairs of handcuffs, 20 batons, three complete sets of body armour and sixteen radios, all lost over the previous two years by a police force imaginatively described by the Daily Mirror as "bungling".
And while we're at it, hands up – it's only us here, so you needn't feel inhibited – everyone who has been thinking: "Yes, and isn't it just absolutely Sod's Law that, whatever you're trying to find, it's always in the last place you look?"
Well of course it is. But it's not Sod's Law. For once, Sod has nothing to do with it. Consider this scenario: you have lost something. You are either cursing or being thumped, depending on whether you are male or female (or possibly praying to God, or swearing at Him) but bravely you continue your search. By the bed? No. In your other jacket? No. Briefcase? No. In the Useless Stuff drawer? No. Behind the sofa? Yes! Here it is! But you say to yourself: "I am not going to be fooled by that old trick. That's what the universe wants me to think. I may have found it, but I'm just going to keep on looking."
Of course it's in the last place you look. That's where it's been all along. Everything you've ever lost is in the last place you'd look for it, and the great trick in life is this: work out the last place you'd look for any particular item, and look there first. I recently lost my favourite penknife. I haven't had time to look for it properly (there's no point in looking for something half-heartedly because stuff knows about that, and will simply move around, a bit like the Translation of the Holy House of Loretto on a smaller scale). But, applying this trick, I shall save myself a lot of frustration and swearing. Instead, I shall wait for six weeks, and then head off to the Munich Oktoberfest. It's the last place you'd look for a missing penknife.
I have, of course, a penknife in my pocket. My backup penknife, which is different from my Swiss Army Knife, my other Swiss Army Knife, my grandfather's penknife, my father's penknife, my great-grandfather's penknife, my Scout knife or any of my three Leatherman multi-tools. It is important to carry a penknife. A Man carries a penknife at all times. Why? What does A Man do with his penknife?
I can only speak for myself. I cut things with it. String. Tape. Bloody packaging. Now you don't just have to cut packaging, you have to dismantle it, disassemble it into its various components for recycling. A simple sandwich yields four categories of waste: the cardboard (cardboard), the paper front bit (paper), the Cellophane window set into the front bit (non-recyclable) and the bloody gherkin which you didn't order and are damned if you're going to eat because you're a grown man, with your own penknife, and you eat what you damn well like and if what you like is two-and-a-half hundredweight of sultanas which you can't actually lay your hands on at this precise moment (but they must be somewhere, though Sod's Law dictates they'll be in the last place you look) instead of some bloody gherkin which you didn't order, then it's hasta la vista, gherkin (food waste).
That's the sort of reason a Man needs his penknife. But let me be honest. I spend a certain amount of time each day looking for things to cut, so that I can say to myself "Wouldn't have been able to do that if it weren't for my trusty Man's penknife!" A part of me suspects that the penknife isn't for cutting things. Cutting things is for the penknife, just as a religious person will think of things to mention to God as he goes about his daily business. In both cases it is a sort of justification, not by, but of faith. The truth lies deeper. A Man carries a penknife because carrying a penknife demonstrates one is a Man.
I'll turn my pockets out. Backup penknife. Small pocket-sized ballpoint pen. Small notebook. Handkerchief. Zippo. Loose change. Fifty quid in banknotes. Credit card. Lip balm. The end.
Not much stuff. The basic stuff a Man should carry about. My father's pockets would have yielded the same, minus the lip balm, a box of matches instead of the Zippo, and a pen-torch for looking down his patients' throats while they said "Aaah".
But now look over the back of my chair, where my satchel – my man-bag, man-purse, murse, call it what you will – rests. Therein lies a different story. Therein lies an iPhone, a pair of sunglasses, a contact-lens case, contact-lens solution, ordinary glasses in case something goes wrong with the contact lenses, a small camera, a pencil-case (containing three fountain pens, a propelling pencil, a highlighter, those little index tabs you stick in books and a rubber), a copy of Frank Harris's life of Oscar Wilde (work), a copy of Attila the Hun by Christopher Kelly (not work, more Personal Growth) a Visconti Travelling Ink-pot, a pair of Bose headphones, a pair of Shure earphones, a laptop, power cable for the laptop, ethernet adapter, a big notebook, a big notepad, a bottle of Lorenzo Villoresi Uomo, three USB memory sticks, a plastic camel, business cards with a no-longer-functioning email address on them, passport, voice-recorder, more lip balm, a stapler, a Leatherman multi-tool and a torch.
This is, of course, a relatively modest haul. If you want to see real Be-Prepared Psychosis at work, check out the "What's In My Bag" photostream on Flickr. There are people there who carry about almost their entire existences with them, in vast, black "messenger bags" so that the thread might better be called "What's In My Life".
When did this start? Why did it start? And what on earth do we think we are doing? Being prepared? Protecting ourselves against the terrors of boredom? Making statements about ourselves, but (unlike other statements) only to ourselves?
And how much anxiety is it costing us?
All those laptops, cellphones, Kindles, BlackBerrys, watches and other devices designed to semi-mechanise us into functionaries of the network so that we will all eventually be living in The Cloud – all those are potentially lost stuff, just like the iPods, the books, the pens, voice recorders, penknives and lip balm – to say nothing of the benches, white sticks, false teeth and glass eyes. The more we carry, the more we have to lose.
And perhaps, secretly, we want to lose it, which is why we carry more and more stuff about with us instead of leaving it safely at home. Look, for example, at the hand baggage people cart onto aeroplanes: great puffed-up hods, bursting with impedimenta – literally. We armour ourselves against ennui like soldiers against the enemy; and yet, even on the longest flight, all one really needs is one book or an MP3 player, 20mg diazepam, and, of course, lip balm. A lawyer friend of mine (found a kilo of cocaine left in the bedside table of his hotel room in Amsterdam once. Someone would have been down the sofa swearing at God about that one) has acknowledged this rationally, and carries a tiny briefcase containing his Kindle and his notepad. The richest man I know travels without hand baggage at all; in his pockets are a propelling pencil, a black American Express card, $100, and his reading glasses.
If possession is the flip side of loss, then neurosis is the obverse of inconvenience. We are filled with rage and frustration when we lose stuff which we never actually needed and certainly didn't need to cart about with us. And we cart it about, I suspect, because we are scared and anxious and in some deep way alienated. The stuff makes us feel better: protected, armoured against the need to rely on anyone else at all, as though strolling through central London has become a version of Ed Stafford's trek along the course of the Amazon. By being ludicrously self-sufficient – even down to the refillable, filtered water-bottle – in an environment where self-sufficiency is entirely unnecessary, we both feel safe and somehow virile (women as much as men; after all, women invented the idea that luggage is necessary at all times). Possession of the messenger-bag or the bulging Mulberry chicksack turns us, in our own minds, into an urban Ed, ready for anything and, more importantly, disassociated from our surroundings. Protected by our aural haze of iPoddage, guarded by the ultra-tech polarized lenses of our £250 Maui Jim shades, the comforting weight of technology and luxury resourcefulness over our shoulder, we view the simple exchanges of the society of the street – "Got a light? D'you have the time? Might I borrow a pen?" – as the prodromal stages of an assault. "Do you know where Brewer Street is?" "Look it up on your own effing iPhone, mate."
And so we are hostages to loss. The sunglasses get left on the Tube, the laptop in the taxi, the mobile on the coffee-shop table. The great advantage of the handbag or murse is that it shortcuts the process: we can lose everything, all at once, in one fell swoop of transient amnesia.
And then what?
A terrible dislocation. Swearing, thumping and God. It's not a new problem; Roman Catholics have for centuries had St Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of lost things. But he must surely by now have taken on staff. C G Jung, whenever he lost something, simply said it had been "magicked away" by the universe and would return as and when. Think of all the time he saved groping around the sofa.
Now, loss is possible – is easy – on a scale never-before imaginable. An un-backed-up laptop is an opportunity to lose your entire life. So then the thumping heart, the drained blood from the face, the scalp-tingle, the calls to Lost Property offices (but on what, the mobile having been lost in the murse?), the gradual realisation that one has been unspeakably diminished, is no longer prepared for anything, is, dreadfully (and hopefully only briefly) dependent on the kindness of strangers.
Yet there's a message of hope. I know of a woman – a collector, a custodian of heirlooms, owner of a fine library – whose house burned down. And when the initial shock subsided, standing on her lawn looking at the damp smoking ashes in which only a single lavatory remained standing like an Etruscan tomb, she suddenly felt overwhelming relief. It had all gone. All that stuff. Gone.
Perhaps I'll not look for that little penknife.
Certainly not down the sofa. What else might I find? Not the sofa. Let sleeping dogs lie.

Chennai, July 29 (IANS) Telugu actor Brahmanandam will star in a yet-to-be-titled silent talkie - the third in existence in India's modern cinematic history. Shooting is to begin soon, producer Sonia Reddy announced.
Arun Kumar will direct the film, while Ilayaraja will give the music, Reddy said in a press statement here.
The first Indian silent film 'Raja Harishchandra' was made in 1913 by Dadasaheb Phalke, after whom the highest Indian filmmaking award is named.
Since then, over 193 'silent' movies were made but all have become 'extinct' due to virtually non-existent methods of preservation or due to fires, said Geethakrishnan, a retired bureaucrat.
In 1988, 'Pesum Padam' (a silent film that was renamed 'Pushpak' in Hindi) featuring thespian Kamal Hassan in the main lead - was the last silent movie released. But it had a synchronised soundtrack and music for effects.
'The silent era was called so because then one could not include a synchronised soundtrack into the projected film,' film historian Randor Guy told IANS.
'Madras has the distinction of introducing the first 'talkie' through a synchronised chronomegaphone in 1909. But it must be remembered that the sound came from an external source independent of the film,' he said.
'With the introduction of what was called 'vitaphone' in 1927 when 'The Jazz Singer' was made, that era slowly disappeared within a few years. Since then, all movies have become talkies, even those that didn't have dialogues because a soundtrack has been added to them.'
'All the recent movies called 'silent' are just a fad 'to do something different' but essentially a modern intellectual exercise,' Guy added.
