Product description
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, this illustrated paperback of the epic tale of The Children of Hurin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves, dragons, Dwarves and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien. It is a legendary time long before The Lord of the Rings, and Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of the fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Turin and his sister Nienor will be tragically entwined. Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Hurin, the man who dared to defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil the curse of Morgoth, and destroy the children of Hurin. Begun by J.R.R. Tolkien at the end of the First World War, The Children of Hurin became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

The air around OutKast's "Idlewild" is humid and thick as gravy, and I'm not talking about the summer haze enveloping the fictional Southern town where the film takes place. The movie starring hip-hop's top duo and the sort-of soundtrack sharing its name — both out this week — are being greeted with a grim earnestness that seems quite overblown, given that pop stars are always making entertainingly flawed cinematic forays and off-kilter soundtracks to go with them.
Internet tastemakers are declaring "Idlewild" "the end of 'Kast." More positive reviews still say the record's awfully weird. Even the deluge of flattery in glossy magazines, expected for a $27-million HBO-sponsored release, hangs heavy with awkward questions about whether André "Andre 3000" Benjamin and Antwan "Big Boi" Patton are even speaking and which Prince movie will finally provide "Idlewild's" best analogy: the miraculously successful "Purple Rain" or the embarrassing "Under the Cherry Moon."
It's not a condemnation to note that "Idlewild" has a lot in common with Prince's first film flop. Both projects followed a breakthrough moment for a forward-thinking act who'd made it deeper into the mainstream than anyone expected: the legendary "Purple Rain" for Prince and the diamond-certified double-disc "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" for OutKast. Both films tell the classic story of artist as outlaw, sacrificing conventional happiness in favor of sensuality and creative inspiration; Prince's Christopher Tracy is a gigolo shot down while on the run with his forbidden love, while Benjamin and Patton's Percival and Rooster are two small-town showmen who escape drudgery nightly at a joint paradoxically named Church, only to court death pursuing their Cotton Club dreams. Both films draw nostalgic connections between contemporary black culture and the golden age of speak-easy piano-tinkling — Prince went vintage by sporting a pencil mustache and bolero hat; Benjamin and Patton opt for zoot suits and breeches. And both film "soundtracks" (Prince's was called "Parade") touch lightly upon prewar musical styles to further the musical experiments their makers had already begun.
For Prince, that meant mixing funk and psychedelia with a jazz-inspired sense of harmony and rhythm. For OutKast, it means borrowing from Prince — and his own borrowings from disco-era speak-easy revivalists August Darnell, Chic and the Pointer Sisters — to connect hip-hop not just to jazz, but to the stream of backtalk and risk-taking that carried African American artists from blackface to black pride. This reach for the long view lends "Idlewild" the film its best qualities — though certain opportunities remain unrealized — and makes "Idlewild" the album hard to grasp.
Let's consider the film first. Writer-director Bryan Barber's script fruitfully connects hip-hop's gangsterism to a pre-Civil Rights era in which entrepreneurs like Rooster relied on bootlegging, showgirl-pimping and whatever else to get by, despite isolation and discrimination. This was a time of elegance, but also of violence and marginalization, and Barber's bright underworld captures all of that. And choreographer Hinton Battle does an outstanding job showing how break dancing evolved out of the Lindy Hop; the dance sequences alone make "Idlewild" worth seeing.
Visually, "Idlewild" takes the vivid approach used in other semi-surreal period pieces like "Beloved," "Chicago" and especially "O Brother, Where Art Thou"; this isn't a past anyone could remember, it's a past people dream about and turn into myth. The characters Benjamin and Patton play are supposedly autobiographical. They're also archetypal. Patton's Rooster, family man by day and jump-blues singing hooch-runner by night, represents the good man made shady by the system, while Benjamin's Percival, a piano-playing mortician's son who could use to leave the basement more often, is the individualist who can triumph only through the singularity of fame. In other words, Patton is Prince in "Cherry Moon" and Benjamin is Prince in "Purple Rain"; similar characters appear throughout African American culture, including Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man" and the biographies of Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone.
"Idlewild" stops short of fully exploring these archetypes. Patton and Benjamin can both hold the screen and are great in their musical sequences, but sorry, they aren't actors — Terrence Howard, as the villain Trumpy, blows them into dust when he's on camera — and their limited expressiveness detracts from the film's hallucinatory edge. The plot fails them too, as it takes turns we've seen in a dozen melodramas. Despite a supporting cast that goes for broke (beyond Howard, Ving Rhames, Faizon Love and Macy Gray stand out), gorgeous costumes, those killer dance sequences and enlivening elements like Rooster's talking whiskey flask and the dancing musical notes that inspire Percival, Barber and his two leads ultimately play things pretty straight.
This isn't what we need from OutKast. With hits like "Hey Ya!" and "Rosa Parks," the duo has come closer to confronting the troubling hyperboles of black American culture — the legacies of blackface and coon song — than virtually any other hip-hop-era artist. OutKast's seriously comic take on black eccentricity speaks volumes about the historical weight of notions like "freakiness." Their film needs more of that freakiness, instead of the three-hankie sentimentality that dominates. In its best moments "Idlewild" connects with OutKast's weirdness, which is an act of resistance: an acknowledgment of how black American expression has been poisoned by stereotypes and an attempt to disrupt those caricatures and make them human again. At its worst, the film trades in the very clichés about romance, redemption and music that listeners run to OutKast to avoid.
Strangely, "Idlewild" the album suffers from almost the opposite problem. It's so sonically challenging and lyrically wide-ranging that it could almost use some clichés. Twenty-five tracks offer outstanding material for contemplation and booty-shaking, including the memoiristic soulfulness of Patton's "Train" and the cosmic reach of Benjamin's "Mutron Angel," which might have been written by dance-rock guru Moby. Yet "Idlewild" leaves the ears longing for something. Coherence, basically. There's no sustaining mood, no clear message, only Benjamin and Patton's efforts to outdo whatever they came up with last. As the music veers from summer jams to fusion excursions, lyrics flitting in and out of focus as the duo contemplates its own inner tensions, the annoyances of the mating game, the threat of hurricanes and the fear of clocks, overload sets in.
Individual tracks shine: Patton's never written a verse as touching as his dissection of a failing marriage in "Peaches," and though Benjamin's a merely adequate crooner on the Cole Porter-ish "When I Look in Your Eyes," he's effervescent sampling a marching band on "Morris Brown" or twisting his tongue on "PJ & Rooster." Even "Bad Note," Benjamin's lengthy descent into stoner rock, offers some pleasures.
Collaborators contribute much — vocalist-consigliere Sleepy Brown gives several Big Boi tracks the smoothest ride in town, female guests Gray, Janelle Monae and Whild Peach expand the group's vocabulary, and even the macho rapper Killer Mike adds some useful intonation. And on "Hollywood Divorce," a strange little number that strives to connect goth rock to Compton-style gangsta rap, New Orleans superstar Lil Wayne steals the show with a rhyme so effortless, it's indelible. Plus, it boasts the indefatigable Snoop, reciting wedding vows as if they're a sentence of 15 to life.
Snoop and Lil Wayne, dropping it easy, make their moments on "Idlewild" enjoyable. Elsewhere, effort is what keeps it from being a truly satisfying listening experience. Haunted by accusations of their partnership's demise (as if their relationship wasn't already rocky three years ago, when they released those two solo albums as an ersatz set), Patton and Benjamin seem panicked, unable to put on the brakes to enjoy what talent and success have granted them. They're taking chances, but not for the right reasons.
The aura surrounding a release can't help but affect the way one hears it, and in a year or two, "Idlewild's" reckless gamble could sound different. The millions who will surely buy this album would be wise to keep it on the shelf for a while, and to play around with ways of listening — program your player to hear only half the cuts, for example, or create your own sequence. A great album could still emerge from its confusion. After all, "Under the Cherry Moon" flopped two decades ago, but it seems quite charming today.Copyright © 2015, Hartford Courant

Hello, i have a problem with my 120SR and i would like your help please. This happened after i had one crash few days ago. I am using the stock tx, and the problem appears to be in rudder stick i think. While hovering, i noticed the tail makes very small left and right movements, without using rudder at all. After few minutes, the heli makes turn 180 degrees, like i am using rudder and face it nose in, again, without using rudder..I tried to keep it with my hand down, while i use throttle, to check the tail motor how reacts and it seems like its push the tail to the wright with wright rudder, and stop push to the left, but not instantly..I am confused..any help??
By the way, i check everything on heli and seems like everything is ok..

You see, the whole purpose of the tail rotor is counter rotation. The main rotor asserts a rotational force on the body. The tail motor works to compensate and stabilize. It knows how hard to work by reading the signals and controls from the head holding gyro. But when you hold the helicopter down, the heading is not changing, and the gyro is saying, "I'm still, no need for anti-rotation". That's why everything is skewed once the helicopter is held down. You won't get a true reading or response from the tail this way.
I'm not saying that the tail doesn't have a problem. I'm just saying that benching the helicopter will not tell you much. Sax has offered you advice on the issue and he's most likely correct.
I'm not too concerned about the small movements, both left and right. Our helicopters do that, some more than others. But when it does an 180, I'm curious. Does it do a quick 180, or a slow 180. When it does that, does it always turn in the same direction, or one direction one time, another direction another time? If if always turn in one direction, is it Left?

Is the tail rotor tight on the motor shaft?
|Feb 14, 2013, 08:29 PM
definatly sounds like a tail motor connection problem.... when it spins 180, which way does it spin? (nose right or nose left)

-DGrant: everything is clear in the motor as i noticed, also the tail motor spins free and the tail prop also..i will check again

it turns a fast 180 degrees, as it hovers nose out, to the left, And doing this only with this direction.
-Jake: yet it is tight, no problem there.
-dacaur: i check the motor connections to the board and to the motor, everything seems fine. I will check again. It spins nose left.
-One more point: one item from the motor seems to be lost, its the *tail motor protective sleeve*, i found it on the ground..but i dont know where to replace it again..maybe this cause the problem?
|Feb 15, 2013, 09:48 AM
Don't worry about the protective sleeve just yet. That's not the problem. Look at your tail rotor from the rear. The tail rotor should be perfectly straight (up and down) and not curved in (or out). These tail rotors have a nasty habit of curling inward towards the boom and will look like this from the rear...")" This is actually one of my pre-flight checks, checking the tail rotor. If you find it's out of shape, simply work it back into shape using your thumb and forefinger paying particular attention to the rotor pitch.
The tail rotor can take on this shape right out of the box OR just sitting around for weeks. I know!!!!
Tail rotor straightness and pitch are one of the most over looked problems.

Thank you Mike, and thank you ALL for your fast replies
The problem still exists, after all the checks i've done, so tomorrow i am going to get a new tail motor. Fortunately, i found at one of my local shops here, so the replacement its going to be fast..Thank you again!

Random question. Has anybody used one of those great Harbor Freight suitcases with the pull-and-pluck foam inserts to make a carrying box for their 120SR? I was thinking about doing that with mine since I prefer carrying those suitcases to the field rather than the heli's own box.
Seems to me that you'd have to mount it sideways and then carefully support the flybar so it wouldn't be bent. I'm going to be finding a solution to this soon as spring is coming!
|Feb 15, 2013, 12:19 PM
I always put my heli on the dashboard and let it warm up on the way.

Heirloom Roses annual Half Off Sale
For those of you who have been waiting all Summer for the annual Half Off Sale at Heirloom Roses, like me, I have bad news..... It doesn't look like it is happening online. I emailed them today inquiring about it. It seems they are going to have a 3 day sale in Aug at the nursery only, not online. I'm so disappointed. I've been waiting all Summer.
Thank you for calling and letting us know . I'm so disappointed, they had so many I was interested in . Maybe if enough of us post here how sad we are , they'll decide to do it ? Worth a shot !! I'd take another free shipping opportunity even .
They said the sale at the nursery would be Aug 8-10th with many roses on sale and SOME of them up to half off.
They have a ton that I would have ordered. Last year I ordered 8 from the sale as an experiment. I wasn't sure if they would survive my harsh climate being so tiny and planted so late in the season. All 8 of them survived the harshest winter in years, with no winter protection other than a ton of snow. They are all doing great this season.
One of their sales got me newly hooked on them, so I do hope they keep them up :D Unfortunately, I don't have the budget to really buy from most sources at full price, so I really, really hope everyone has sales when they can ;)
As a former rose nursery owner here are some thoughts from the other perspective. We stopped doing a lot of sales like that because we found, understandably, people would not order during the season, but would wait for the sale. Can't blame them and I'd do the same.
However, profit margins at small nurseries are small enough as it is and boutique rose nurseries can't stay in business selling roses at 1/2 price. That may be part of the reason.
Mr. Zimmerman makes an excellent point, and since several well known rose nurseries have gone out of business in the last few years, I am glad that Heirloom is protecting themselves, so that they will stay around forever. Also, a few weeks ago they did have a free shipping sale, free shipping on any purchase! And when you think about it that is pretty darn great, not exactly half price but close. I only found out about it from some kind soul posting a notification on here & I am so glad I did because I racked up, I got 9 bands & 32oz fish fertilizer for $165 total. Maybe they are going to start doing free shipping sales instead of half off?
Buying from Burling is like a half off sale...... Her bands are less and her shipping is WAY less.
I wish Heirloom and Rogue Valley would use some of her shipping methods (I do love Heirlooms new boxes I mean postal rate selections). My last order was under $8 in postage for 6 bands.
I saw the title of this post and just had to comment. I just today ordered 3 roses from heirloom. I was 'bout to get mad cuz mine weren't half off, and not to be a fun hater but I'm kinda glad there is no 1/2 off sale since I already bought mine. . . that's always my luck tho. . . also glad to hear good things about their products. . . what's a band tho?
I spent a good hour drooling over this sale and had at least a dozen "must have" roses from this listing before I noticed a small statement at the top of the page. Apparently they only want orders where they can ship the roses immediately (including the line "regardless of zone"), not with the potential for ordering now for spring shipment. I understand the logic, since companies want to clear out summer stock in preparation for new plants for next summer, but for those of us in cold zones it really counts us out. I might be able to handle planting a gallon size rose in July, but a band size rose in August has very little chance of surviving my winters in my experience without enough chance to build a good root structure.
I'd love to hear if this line is in error, but I since I've never seen that line on an Heirloom page I think it's not subject to negotiation. I'll have to hang onto my list and check back later this fall/winter to make my order for next spring.
Regardless, for those of you in warmer zones there are some absolutely terrific roses for sale, many of whom are down to $8.50.
Just an FYI, I too was concerned about ordering bands so late in the season last year during their sale. I decided to give it a try and see if any survived our winter. I ordered 8 bands and planted them in late Aug. we had the worst winter in many years and all 8 of them survived and are doing well. I do not winter protect at all. We did get a lot of snow though. I'm planning on giving it a try again.
I just placed an order from heirloom and I checked the box that said deliver after the last frost and they took it with the sale prices. Hope everyone else who wants to order, can do the same. I apparently did not see or maybe I looked over the line that said to be delivered now. Anyway, my order did not get flagged and the sale prices worked. Good luck to everyone !
Ah, Bayourose- you just made my day!! I have done a lot of mid-summer planting of roses in my zone, Heather, and sadly I only get winter survival on substantial sized pots anything after about June. I can plant Roses Unlimited gallons from their July sale without particular problems, but we don't get reliable snow cover and even with protection bands are simply not feasible for me this late in the year.
After last frost, however....now THAT I can order with a clear conscience!!
Off to blow my weekly budget...

Pool Remodel
Good morning! I am hoping for some help from all you courageous people who have done new pools and remodels.
I have a 14x28 rectangular pool (with clipped corners) that we had fiber tech applied to about 18 years ago. It started coming off within 2 years and now has many places as large as 10"x30" that are bare concrete or metal.
So I am now looking for pool remodeling ideas, finishes and contractors.
My pool deck also needs to be redone as it is 1/4" inch salted cement that is also coming up or cracking all over the place.
Some facts:
I swim at least an hour every single day.
I don't want to over-build as I live in a middle class neighborhood built in the mid to late 50's.
Mostly 1 story block houses.
Tons of beautiful trees, no sidewalks.
1 house in 10 has a pool.
Prices in the $175K to $250K range.
Great school district for elementary and middle, pretty darn good for high school. All schools within 1/2 mile of my house.
I have a corner lot so pool can be seen from side street.
Has flat-roofed pool cage that is 34" inches away on far side and left side, 48" away on right side and then house is 96" away on near side with big windows and sliding glass door.
I will live here at least 10 more years, maybe even 20 (I am 55).
What I think I want:
Glass bead finish
Heated (October - May)
Lit, stacked slate waterfall about 72" wide and 24 to 36" tall and 15" deep. Multiple channels of water, not a sheet. Mostly to create light and sound for ambiance in the evenings. I think this should go on the 34" wide far side so it can be seen from inside the house. This will be geometric, not free style. Maybe 18"x24" inches on each side and 36"x36" in the center.
Remove ladder in deep end, never use it.
New stairs in shallow end.
Better drainage on deck (algae grows from winter rains).
Should I spend the money to make the pool rectangular by removing the clipped corners?
Will that add a ton to the cost?
Will that make it harder for the Hayward Navigator to clean?
How thick should the new finish be?
Should the deck project over the pool edge or be even with it?
Is it harder to clean the top of the pool if it projects over?
Is pebble aggregate better than glass bead?
Does heating increase electric bill much?
Does a waterfall running about 20 hours a week greatly increase evaporation of pool?
Are waterfalls hard to clean?
How often do they need to be cleaned?
Should I convert to salt water?
Is it more expensive or harder to maintain than chlorine?
Does salt water erode pool surface faster than chlorine?
Are there other reasons not to consider salt water?
Does heating it increase electric bill a lot?
Does heating it really make it swimmable when it's 50 degrees outside?
Should I go with a stamped concrete deck or invest a lot more in pavers?
Or is there a better idea for the deck?
Can you recommend any companies to do this is Pinellas County, Florida?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for any advice and help you give me. This is exciting and terrifying for me.
Will that add a ton to the cost? YES
Will that make it harder for the Hayward Navigator to clean? Probably not
How thick should the new finish be? 3/8 minimum on walls and 1/2 inch on floors.
Should the deck project over the pool edge or be even with it? Your choice
Is it harder to clean the top of the pool if it projects over? slightly
Is pebble aggregate better than glass bead? yes in my opinion. Glass is expensive material
Does heating increase electric bill much? yes as much in the winter as you spend for a/c in the summer.
Does a waterfall running about 20 hours a week greatly increase evaporation of pool? Not really
Are waterfalls hard to clean? yes, most don't
How often do they need to be cleaned? keep the water clean and it should only require a splash of chlorine every now and then.
Should I convert to salt water? It makes life easier for you.
Is it more expensive or harder to maintain than chlorine? Salt is chlorine
Does salt water erode pool surface faster than chlorine? at 3000 ppm you won't even taste it.
Are there other reasons not to consider salt water? none
Does heating it increase electric bill a lot? see above
Does heating it really make it swimmable when it's 50 degrees outside? yes
Should I go with a stamped concrete deck or invest a lot more in pavers? I would recommend an acrylic spraydeck.finish
Or is there a better idea for the deck? yes see above
I'm in Pinellas County. We had Gulfstream Pools out to give us a bid on remodeling our pool. I also called Freestyle but they are backed up until Oct/Nov. so I didn't have them come out. I am still waiting for some more bids to come in so I haven't picked anyone yet. I would be comfortable with Gulfstream though.
i am in the north and a total pool novice but i do have a heated salt pool. the salt system is super easy to use. this season is our 2nd year with it and i think we have only put in 4 bags of salt although at pool opening the pool company shocked the water initially.
re heating, my inlaws used to have a solar heated pool. not sure what the cost difference is but may be worth a look.
we have a pentair gas heater. the gas use increased the cost quite a bit last october because it was so cold. we don't see a big jump in the summer as we only have to heat it up a couple if degrees daily. it got down in the 50s last night and we lost 2 degrees even with the solar cover on.
i got a solar cover from ocean state job lots. it is 8mil and really keeps the heat in plus if i leave it on until we swim (and we actually have some sun) it will warm it up without heat. i do think that if you cover it when not in use, you will maintain the temp to some degree.
my 2 cents, if i lived in fl, i would totally heat my pool! what a joy it would be for this northerner to swim year round!
I'm in south St Pete.
Gulfstream was our second choice, and I'm sure they would have been great. I really liked being able to go up to their "showroom" and touch the finishes in their pools and see the pool deck finishes and colors, etc.
Salt is the only way to go! I tell everyone that if there is one change you can afford for your pool, it is to convert to salt. It is so much easier to maintain (compared to all my neighbors with traditional chlorine pools) and feels so much better on your skin and in your eyes (no more burning eyeballs). I never get as tired swimming laps in a salt pool as I ever did in a chlorine pool (like the YMCA - ugh - but that pool is too hot to swim laps in to me).
We have a gas heater, but we only heat the spa during the winter. We've accidentally heated the entire pool, but it didn't make a significant dent in our gas bill. Remember that cooling something 10-15 degrees (like a/c in your home) uses much less energy than heating something 25-40 degrees (like heating your home in the winter in the northeast).
The winter was so mild last year, that we only missed about four months of swimming in the main pool with no heating at all. We are lucky that we've had enough rain to keep the pool cool this summer - we've only had one summer where the pool got too hot.
Note: You probably shouldn't remove the ladder from the deep end unless you put in a shelf because that is a code issue. While it might not bother you (being to code or not) it can have a serious impact on the resale of your home. The pool is probably grandfathered to code in place when it was built, which is fine, so you don't have to meet current code. But for a remodel (not just refinish, maybe) you might have to permit and then of course you'll have to come up to current code. Your builders, if they have any sense at all, won't allow you to screw this up.

I'm not partial to working harder than I have too, hence I no longer secondary (and I've had great success with 10+ beers since stopping). When it comes to lagers/pilsners, has anyone had success starting fermentation in their primary, then transferring straight to their serving keg and letting it lager there?
I am no expert by any means, but my last 4 lagers I did exactly as you suggest....fermented in primary at desired temp for about 3 weeks or until estimated FG was nearly reached, diacytle rest, then kegged and stashed in keg fridge at 42F to lager in the keg. Carb up after lagering and it's good to go.
Not sure it's the best way, but it is easier and it does work.
That's how I do it.
that's exactly what i do as well.
Same as me.
Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures.
I've never made a lager before, but doing it this way seems like something I might try.
A couple questions:
Do you bleed off your kegs at any point during the lagering? Is there any pressure build-up at all?
Do you pressurize the keg at all when you first fill it to make sure the seals all seal?
I carb and lager at the same time. That way I don't need to wait the extra time to carbonate post lagering. I have not noticed any ill effects from doing this.
I ferment in my carboys and then transfer to a keg. After the lagering time is over I force tranfer the beer to another keg to get it off the yeast that has dropped out while lagering. Sometimes I carb while lagering, and sometimes afterwards. Really depends on how much room/beer I'm dealing with.
If you keg, you always secondary - the keg is it!

Heuchera plants or seeds ?
I was walking through my cousins English style garden and came upon at least 10 different kinds of heuchera plants. These plants never really interested me in the past and yes I have one in my gardens :). But seeing all the different colors and shape of the foliage and flowers I have become very interested in these plants.
Can anyone tell me where in Canada (online) I can purchase either plants, or in States or Canada where I can order seeds of this beautiful plant.
Thank you
Swallowtail seeds is my go to place for all kind of seeds, however I don' t think the more stunning color heuchera are available by seed. I am forever looking, and have seen the same varieties of seeds over and over. On the upside, buy one plant, and soon it can be divided into three or more many many more. They are easy, very hardy and stunning.
There is a heuchera forum.
I have not found anywhere to get seeds but did find two places on the internet here in Ontario that have mail order and one of them I visited over the weekend. Bought three beautiful heucheras. Now if it stops raining long enough I will get them planted.
They are Cherries Jubilee, Autumn Haze and Black Beauty. The place I went to was called .

In 1998 our family made a life changing decision to move to Spain, we bought our villa in 2000 and lived in the house until our 4 children gradually left home for university and work in the UK. My husband and I now live in the UK full time and holiday at the villa when we can.
The villa is more than a holiday rental its home from home.
Virginia Coombes purchased this chalet in 2000
We have had many family holidays here with friends and relatives they all tell us what a relaxing time they have had there's so much for the children to do and plenty of space so you don't get under each others feet.
When we decided to buy a property we had looked at many but when we saw this villa we fell in love with the arches on the terrace, the jasmine and bougainvillea growing up the walls and the wonderful palm trees. Since buying we have renovated all the bathrooms and the kitchen to a high standard.
The facilities of the house were outstanding. The adults and kids enjoyed the tennis court, the table tennis and all the games. We had plenty of space for a big group. The villa is near the old centre and several restaurant are available in the neighbourhood. Highly recommendable.
Were do I begin, this property is Fantastic. With the space for any large family or party to relax and the facilities of a 5 star hotel. Clean, well maintained with well equipped kitchen, dinning areas. I would recommend this property to anyone. The only downside is that I don't own it.
The villa was perfect, setting was glorious, very reasonably pricing and extremely well equipped, wasn't just a place to stay, it was a proper home for the week. Fully recommend it for anyone and would 100% go back
The villa was as described - beautifully presented and with plenty of seating areas in the sun and shade so our group of 12 could spread out and relax or come together for meals. The pool was a great size and suitable for all ages. The tennis court was larger than expected which was great for the kids to play ball games on. On arrival we were shown around the villa and the information pack provided was extremely helpful for local information. Location-wise it was just 10 mins drive from the airport and local supermarket. We relied on taxis to take us into Valencia and this was all at low cost and no bother at all. We would recommend this villa for other large groups who want to have a relaxing time in a luxurious setting.
We were a group of family and friends aged 14 to 66 and we all had a wonderful time. The villa is beautiful. There are lots of sitting areas so those who wanted some quiet time could have it. The pool is lovely and there are activities and games for everyone. The kitchen is very well equipped and we also had some good meals out locally. I would certainly recommend the villa and look forward to a return visit.
The Villa was like home from home. There was plenty of space for all 14 of our mixed group to get together for family meals, yet you could always find a quiet secluded corner to read quietly in if wanted. The kitchen was super, with plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses etc and dishwasher to save time washing up. All cleaning materials were provided, including a washing machine. The pool was a very good size, for all 14 of us to swim and play together. All meals were eaten round the long table on the shaded upstairs terrace. The tennis courts were put to good use, and we enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels in the garden. We did not venture out much as everything we needed was in the Villa. Those who went into Valencia said it was lovely, reminding them a little of Rome. The meet and greet went well with friendy reception. All in all we had a great relaxing holiday.
Our villa is set in a quiet residential area in La Canada, with several bars, restaurants, and shops nearby.
Its close proximity to Valencia makes the villa an ideal base for exploring this historic city. Valencia is a city of contrasts, the wonderful old centre with its amazing food market where you can buy and savour the regional food. The beautiful plazas are the ideal place to stop for some wine and tapas. If you like eating out there are many great restaurants that I can recommend you try.
The recently built Science Park designed by Santiago Calatrava incorporates a zoo, marine park, science museum and opera house. This spectacular complex with its avant garde architecture is not to be missed. The bioparc is a new generation zoo conceived with the zoo-immersion philosophy, the visitor feels totally submerged in the wild habitats that have been recreated here. The marine park is home for more than 45,000 examples of 500 different marine species among which can be found sharks, Beluga whales, sea lions and manta rays. walruses, penguins. The park also has a spectacular dolphinarium and auditorium where they hold daily shows.
If you feel the need for a day at the beach there are several 20mins away.
Heron City a cinema and restaurant complex is 4km away, some of the films are in English, and there is also a bowling alley. The complex is pedestrianised so it's a great place for kids.
Valencia City offers plenty of further tourist further attractions such as: Turia Gardens (dry river bed that has been converted into a park with sporting & leisure facilities), Botanic Gardens, Tourist Bus, Art Galleries, Theatres, Night Life, Markets & Shopping. There are many top quality beaches in the Valencia area such as Malvarosa, El Saler & Sagunto. Valencia is also home to Valencia CF, Levante CF, Cheste Moto GP circuit & the F1 circuit.
Golf: There are several top quality Golf courses in close proximity to the villa.
El Bosque (30mins), El Escorpion (10mins) and El Saler (30mins)
La Galiana and Sergio Garcia's home course 'Club de Campo del Medeterraneo' are 1 hour away.

On my Nexus 5 I had aokp installed and the indicator was part of the rom and after settings things up and disabling all auto update in apps I had (for the most time) zero network activity.
Now on my bacon I have the same apps, with the same setup (even uninstalled a couple apps) but the newtork activity just won't stop.
I just downloaded the "Network Connections" app and it seems that "Google Contacts Sync" uses the network all the time.
I already tried turning off all sync functions, but it just won't stop.
I mean it's only a couple of bytes most of the time... but shouldn't it be dead silent, when sync is turned off?

White Sox turnaround could be 'remarkable'
The White Sox entered Saturday three and a half games behind Detroit in the AL Central and three games behind New York for a wild card spot, an encouraging change from 2013's forgettable 99-loss season.
It's only mid-June, and it's too early to label the White Sox as contenders — especially since the club entered Saturday with a 33-35 record. But the team has generally been competitive as the season nears its halfway point, leaving the door open for a July/August/September run that could put the White Sox into the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
If that happens — and it's still a big if — it'd represent a turnaround manager Robin Ventura said would be "remarkable."
"After last year, to go through all we went through, to be able to do that," Ventura said. "We're not going to look that far down the road. We're better off if we're just focusing on what we're doing today and trying to win this game, as simple as it can be, pitch to pitch, inning to inning."
Only one American League team appears truly buried in the AL playoff race — the MLB-worst 26-42 Tampa Bay Rays. Even Houston, a club undertaking a full-scale rebuild, is only five and a half games out of a wild card spot, one more than the defending World Series champion Red Sox.
The AL Central is even more bunched together, with Kansas City entering Saturday one and a half games back, Minnesota three games back and Cleveland and the White Sox three and a half back.
"I think everybody's making steps to where every series, I don't think you can just guarantee what's going to happen in every series," Ventura said.
Johnson's struggles still a mystery
Erik Johnson has walked 27 in his last 28 innings with Triple-A Charlotte, a span covering six starts in which the right-hander has a 9.32 ERA.
Johnson seemed to be getting things on track in his first three starts after his late-April demotion, only issuing two walks with a 2.41 ERA. But since then, the bottom's fallen out in rather puzzling fashion for the 24-year-old.
"You have people that are watching and you get reports on him, but when you just see the numbers, it does make you scratch your head because you know he has talent," Ventura said. "We've seen it. We've seen it up here, so to get that combination back where he has the confidence, the location, the ability to do it, that's when you get that call back up."
White Sox deal for outfield depth
The White Sox acquired outfielder Michael Taylor from Oakland for minor league pitcher Jake Sanchez on Saturday, adding outfield depth to their minor league ranks.
Taylor, 28, will report to Triple-A Charlotte. In 26 major league games with Oakland from 2011-2013, Taylor hit .135/.210/.189 with one home run. A former top prospect, Taylor was part of package of players Philadelphia traded to Toronto in 2009 for ace right-hander Roy Halladay (Taylor was immediately flipped to Oakland for first base prospect Brett Wallace).
Taylor was hitting .243/.357/.385 with five home runs, 33 walks and 50 strikeouts in Triple-A this season.
Sanchez, a 24-year-old right-hander who formerly pitched for the Joliet Jackhammers, had a 2.80 ERA in in 61 innings with Single-A Kannapolis this season.
