Reverse mortgages are facing stricter requirements, forcing some homeowners who are nearing retirement to reconsider how they will tap into their home equity. This year, the Federal Housing Administration sought congressional approval for a financial assessment from potential borrowers, which could limit the number who can take part in the government's reverse mortgage products.

No place, alas, like home for Padres this season
"The only difference is that last year, they were winning the 2-1, 3-1, 3-2 games, so it wasn't so boring. Now that they're losing, it's, 'Hey, what's wrong?' "
The last Padres regular to hit .300 for a season, Giles was a Petco Park original, a native son whom the Padres got in trade after his years as a pre-eminent slugger in Pittsburgh. His discerning eye and high on-base percentage made him a natural for San Diego's new park, but he said he quickly realized he had to change his swing to play at Petco.
"Your home run numbers may be down and you're not driving in as many runs, but you can still have a very high on-base percentage, and those are runs scored," said Giles. "Runs scored is a very underestimated stat. Chipper Jones told me runs scored is just as important as RBI's to him. Pete Rose scored a LOT of runs in his career.
"An elite slugger like Albert Pujols will come in here and say, 'How do you play half your games here every year?' You adjust, that's how. The frustrating part is the double that gets hit really well to left-center or right-center and gets caught. The guy from the other team comes up and says, 'That's a bomb in our ballpark.'
"But you know what? If that ball falls, I'm happy. I've got a double, and I'm happy. You need those hits to fall in for the confidence, the mentality to persevere and play through that ballpark. Get your hits. Score your runs. Then go back to the NL Central for some really good hitting."
Mark Kotsay is with an NL Central team, the Milwaukee Brewers, though he played for the Padres the year before their move downtown from Mission Valley. In a game at Petco last month, Kotsay blasted a ball that had homer written all over it, but it bounced high off the out-of-town scoreboard in right, leaving Kotsay with a double and exasperated look on his face.
"The atmosphere's the same as Qualcomm (Stadium), but this place plays a helluva lot bigger," he said the next day. "But you come in here knowing you'll have a hard time driving the ball out of the ballpark, knowing you need to do more small-ball types of things to win games here.
"It's rare to play in a place where there's such focus on sustaining innings, but that has to be your approach here. It's really tough to do, game after game. But when you're the visitor, you also have the luxury of knowing you're only going to be here two or three days."
Now the Pirates manager, Clint Hurdle spent years as the skipper of the Colorado Rockies, whose high-altitude ballpark for many years was decried as an abomination of baseball. Essentially, Coors Field did to pitchers was Petco does to hitters. Coming into Petco and the other two NL West parks in California, Hurdle always told his sluggers to simply forget about hitting homers after dark.

Oxalis, success indoors
Friday, 20 Jan 12 Rainy 10°C / 50°F
Oxalis 'Sunset Velvet' is a great annual, but I wanted more, I wanted it to be perennial as I hate spending money in the garden. I can report great success, cuttings seem to root easily in any season and they have overwintered really well in a cold bright room in the house. So much so that I'll always keep some as houseplants.
I brought in the one I'd grown in a hanging basket (from a plug plant) and it has shed a lot of leaves but there is plenty of growth on the ends of each stem, all of which can be used for cuttings over the next 2 months.
1. Main photo shows the leaves in classic colouring.
2. Leaves are pinkish red in the underside
3. Yellow flowers
4. Leaves from the side
5. Plant filling out a hanging basket with polygonum

Swans everywhere - of course :-)
Swans were considered a symbol of purity in the old cultures. And swans were part of the coat of arms of the Nobles of Schwangau, former inhabitants of Hohenschwangau Castle in approx.12th century. Max II, King of Bavaria, father of Ludwig II, liked the old legends with Parsival and his son, Lohengrin being his favourite. Thus he had the dining room of Hohenschwangau Castle painted with scenes of the old legends. This and the swans on Alpsee, which Ludwig often fed with his mother and brother might well have laid the passion for swans into Ludwig's heart. It is said that they were his favourite animals.
Neuschwanstein Castle would somehow translate into New Swan Stone Castle, although this is not the original name given to it by his creator, King Ludwig II. The passion for Richard Wagner's operas and especially for Lohengrin, which he watched when he was 16 years old, added to his fascination of swans. So it is most logical that the swan is the omnipresent leitmotif inside the Neuschwanstein Castle and its surroundings. The Royal salon for example exhibits this grand majolica swan which was meant to be a flower pot, and the tap of the washbasin has the form of a swan too. There are swans everywhere, in the wooden carved benches, in the wrought ironwork at the doors, in paintings, on the glass door to the wintergarden. I have read that a visitor once counted the swans in the Royal living room, the one dedicated to Lohengrin and the swan, and the result was 160!
There is even a swan on top of Hohenschwangau Castle, but I realised that only after I came back and looked at my photos. My main photo is of the barn-like building next to parking P4. I didn't see a sign of what it is, maybe storage for the boats. But it is easy to find. And then, instead of the otherwise usual wreath, there is a swan on top of the maypole (third photo).
All in all I am sure that kids will have a lot of fun when they have the task to find as many swans as possible, in case they become bored while mom and dad tour the castles.

Hohenschwangau's beautiful maypole
Located in a central position of Hohenschwangau village, on the way from ticket centre to Museum of Bavarian Kings and Alpsee is its maypole. It is really beautiful and characterises the village and its significant businesses. Like a maypole does, throughout Bavaria and many other regions in Germany.
However, Bavarian maypoles are special because they show the pride of being Bavarian with the characteristic white-blue stripes, reflecting the white-blue flag of Bavaria. [On the side note: never say blue-white, because that is wrong! And never argue with Bavarians about the colour sequence because they know better] The symbols for the local businesses – guild signs - are a marvellous work, especially against the blue sky. The major local topics are of course, Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein Castle, that's why they are on top of the symbols. Then there is one for Bleckenau, former hunting lodge of Max II of Bayern and his family, today a mountain inn. The spring that provides water supply for Neuschwanstein Castle until today is close by Bleckenau, by the way. Of course, the sign for Museum of Bavarian Kings is there, as well as the one for Restaurant Alpenrose. Other restaurants and hotels are represented, souvenir shops and also the carriage operators. And of course the famous beer, König Ludwig Dunkel, made by König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei, which is owned by Wittelsbach family.
The Facebook page of Hohenschwangau has nice (public) photos of preparing and erecting their maypole (May 2011).
But I am not sure if visitors really know that this maypole is symbol for Bavarian local customs. Quite contrary: I saw it being called "signpost" and also when I took my photos people stopped by and seemed to wonder what I was doing, or why I photographed that "signpost". I wasn't in the mood to discuss, but will surely will do it next time.

Add your stone to the cairns in Pöllatschlucht
Once I arrived at the bottom of Pöllatschlucht (Pöllat Gorge), I saw a huge field of cairns and kids piling up their stones. I found that this is a very nice custom, to say that one was here and to show connectivity to the place without doing rude and criminal graffiti anywhere inside or outside of the castle,
Usually cairns are meant to be landmarks or sign posts to show where a path carries on, but cairn fields are more like a fun thing to do, a kind of taking a life of its own. To me it is like with Roman Fontana di Trevi: it is custom to throw a coin to come back. But I am throwing coins into many waters where I want to come back.
Cairns should be erected only when it does not affect nature protection. Here, at the bottom of the gorge, it seems not to affect nature because the stones are rather small and even if there would be high water of Pöllat River after snow melting, they won't do any harm because the river has many terraces and ponds in his course downhill.

Castle Tours
Every ticket that you buy before going to the castle has a time and a tour number printed on it. Inside the castle's yard there are automatic barriers which you can only enter when your tour number appears on the display. Perfect to keep organisation at the castle to a minimum but King Ludwig II. would still turn in his grave (which is in Munich by the way ;) if he saw all the modern stuff in his dream castle ;).

A nice meeting
After arriving by the Alpsee you will probably see a group of wonderful swans. These animals are used to be feed by tourists so they are not shy in front of you, and they can also come in your direction to look around for something to eat. If you are lucky you will probably have the chance to touch them without receiving their bites!
Their presence gives to the lake a very poetry imagery; especially at the sunset on a late springtime day.

BOISE -- Backers of creating a Boulder-White Clouds National Monument are pointing to a new study that suggests protecting the area would boost local economies.
The Boulder-White Clouds area includes parts of Blaine, Butte, Camas and Custer counties.
Three years ago, Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson introduced a bill that would have created a wilderness and opened other parts of the area to multiple uses. It didn't go through.
Now, a sportsmen's group is among those hoping that President Obama will declare a national monument, which would keep the area from being developed, mined or logged, but also would be less restrictive than a wilderness.
Don Reading, the economist who did a study commissioned by the Idaho Outdoor Business Council, estimates it would bring between 50 and 150 new jobs to the area.
The economic impact will be positive and meaningful for the rural area, Reading said. But the area wouldn't be slammed, overwhelmed with visitors, again, because it has such a large protected area and existing visitor base.
A portion of the proposed monument area is already protected as part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.
Critics of the monument proposal have told us they want to know exactly what would change and when.

Sam Kass among the 480 White House staffers to be furloughed
The highly visible White House assistant chef, kitchen gardener and Let's Move senior policy adviser will feel the effects of the sequester.
Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 02:30 PM

The government budget cuts that went into effect last month, commonly known as the sequester, has the White House canceling tours and cutting costs in many places. Now, the budget cuts will require as many as 480 White House staffers to take furloughs, days off without pay.
One of those staffers is Assistant Chef Sam Kass. Kass was personal chef to the Obamas in Chicago and was brought on to assist Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford shortly after President Obama took office. He also serves as the senior policy adviser of Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign and heads up the White House Kitchen Garden initiative.
Yesterday, during an interview with reporters, Kass mentioned that he's among the White House staffers who will be required to go on furlough because of the sequester.
It looks like only one of his jobs is affected by the furlough, his assistant chef job. There are four assistant chefs to Comerford, so the White House kitchen would still be able to operate efficiently if the assistants took revolving furloughs, although there's no mention of the other assistant chefs being furloughed.
As of now, Kass will not need to take time off from his duties with the garden or with the Let's Move campaign.

This study aimed to investigate the differences between ethnic groups in their contact with child welfare services in England. Analyses were conducted on three national datasets (the Children in Need Census, children on the child protection register and children looked after), and looked after children's care histories were examined to see if over- or under-representation could be explained by factors such as differing rates of entering or leaving care. These analyses were supplemented by a review of relevant research literature.
This booklet is entitled Race Equality through Leadership in Social Care. Research has shown that organisations that are successful in this area of diversity are in that position because of effective leadership. This booklet does not question the leader's commitment to race equality but acknowledges that the provision of culturally sensitive services and supportive employment practices can be very challenging.

Hideki Matsui retires from baseball
More News from Howie Rumber
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hideki Matsui has retired from professional baseball, saying he is no longer able to perform at the level that earned him a World Series MVP with the New York Yankees and three Central League MVPs in Japan.
Matsui announced his retirement Thursday at a news conference in New York that was conducted only in Japanese and broadcast live in his home country.
The 38-year-old Matsui batted .282 with 175 homers and 760 RBIs for the Yankees, Los Angeles Angels, Oakland Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays, having moved from the Yomiuri Giants in Japan.
Always cool under pressure, Matsui hit a grand slam in his first game at Yankee Stadium and had six RBIs in his finale with the Yankees — Game 6 of the 2009 World Series.

KeyZag Keyboard
50,000 - 100,000 downloads
- Innovative zigzag layout
- Different themes, layouts and alphabets
- Responsive
- Bigger keys
- Gestures
- It doesn't support auto-prediction
"When it comes to keyboards, size matters"

A gesture-based touchscreen keyboard with huge keys
Too many misprints? That's touchscreen keyboards' main catch. The guys at Microth have come up with a simple solution to solve that: bigger keys. KeyZag Keyboard is the outcome. A keyboard which makes the most of the available space by favoring the use of touchscreen gestures.
That's the trick: KeyZag takes out some keys from the main layout to make bigger those that matter the most (letters). Those missing keys aren't "tapped" but swiped. Swipe right to "press" the space bar, swipe left to backspace. Swipe up to use capital letters, swipe down letters to input a number. Doesn't it sound easy? It is. You'll get the hang of it in a jiffy.
However, the main feature of Keyzag keyboard is not just removing space and delete but its adaptability to any size and position on screen preserving the shape of keys and distance between them. That feature makes KeyZag a unique keyboard. It has a characteristic zigzag layout.
Thus, layout, gestures and adaptibility guarantee faster and more accurate typing.
In addition, KeyZag features 5 different themes, 4 different layout (geometry) and 4 alphabets. Emojis are supported as well as auto-capitalization, haptic feedback and sound effects on click.
A simple yet innovative keyboard for those who had serious misprinting issues.
KeyZag is a flexible keyboard you can interactively place anywhere on screen and scale to any size.
"If you have not yet found the right keyboard for you, try KeyZag" - TuttoAndroid.net
"A lot of users will probably find themselves typing at a faster rate with KeyZag" - AndroidHeadlines.com
KeyZag solves screen keyboard problems by providing the high level of input comfort for both landscape and portrait orientations, symbols of desired size, and advanced recognition of input.
KeyZag is a revolutionary "keyless" keyboard. It is based on an advanced, patent pending technology of optimal circle packing within a container of given shape.
KeyZag is an interactively adjustable keyboard. It provides unique flexible zigzag arrangements of symbols, maintaining the familiar QWERTY layout, symbol shapes and the same key spreading distances regardless of device orientation and size of a keyboard.
KeyZag supports languages based on Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Hindi alphabets. It also support full
set of Emoji emoticons.
KeyZag utilizes an advanced method of input recognition. Depending on input statistics, it adjusts sensitivity of individual symbols and reduces the number of misprints.
KeyZag supports simple gestures for input of controls, symbols and capital letters without switching layouts.
Large buttons of the KeyZag keyboard are eminently suitable for kids and people with low vision and motoric problems.
KeyZag keeps improving. We plan to add many new features soon and would appreciate your comments and suggestions. Please visit our website for tips, forum, support and much more: www.keyzag.com. It is recommended that you enable auto-update on Google Play so you always have the latest version of KeyZag.
How to use:
To enable KeyZag keyboard, go to "Language and input" settings, and check "KeyZag" box. Then long press in any input field or pull down the notification bar to enable "Choose input method" and select "KeyZag".
Privacy notice: while installing KeyZag, you will receive a warning message about collecting sensitive data. This is the standard general-purpose Android message issued for any third-party downloaded keyboard and it does not pertain to KeyZag. KeyZag DOES NOT COLLECT OR STORE ANY SENSITIVE INPUT OR PERSONAL DATA.

I can't belive I didn't find this earlier. Great for one handed thumb-typing in portrait mode, very quick two handed typing in both portrait and landscape. Those who type alot shouldn't miss this.
I really like this app great for tablets and not bad on phones I don't find learning curb that steep takes a little time get used to the lack of a space bar however this leaves more room for letters.
To use is simply and fast, just I would like to have the autocorrect again, I miss it and I miss the microphone button to type talking too.
like app but there no space bar and no delete button on keyboard
Says it will send all I type to them. P/w etc
Alright I guess....
Its a great keyboard , to use once you had a go a few times but ive noticed there is no english pound symbom only a dollar one and no predictive text which I miss.

All the students are from economically
and socially disadvantaged
Bangalore: The day begins early and ends late for Sathya M. and her 30-odd classmates at the Corporation high school behind Deviah Park in Malleswaram.
They troop into class at 7.30 a.m. to attend mathematics, science and English tuitions conducted by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Free Tuition Association. Following this, they attend special classes taken by their teachers as part of the remedial teaching programme. After regular classes between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., there are again special classes. It is almost always 6 p.m. by the time they can leave for home.
Not that any of them are complaining about the long hours spent at school. They are all getting ready for the 10th standard public examinations commencing on March 31 this year, and they know that the results could play a vital role in determining the future course of their lives. All of them are from economically and socially disadvantaged sections of society and have nothing else to bank on except their hard work and good examination results to get anywhere in life. Most of them are children of domestic helps, street vendors, drivers and lower-end employees in factories.
But nothing about the bright-eyed girls gives away the hard lives they and their parents lead. They are full of good cheer and enthusiasm as they crowd around a visitor and talk about how much the special classes are helping them. "We cannot afford to pay money and go to tuition classes. These classes help with difficult subjects like mathematics and English," says Vasanta J. "Our teachers are good. But our special class master will not let us be until we learn!" giggles Gauri V.
Their mathematics teacher and president of the association, M. Kashi, who holds a day job as a pharmacist in an ESI hospital, spends most of his free time teaching poor children. "Our association is in its 19th year and we have 20 volunteers now," he says. This year, the association is running special classes for Class 10 students in three Bangalore Mahanagara Palike high schools in Malleswaram and Srirampuram areas. They are also conducting classes in Srirampuram, Okalipuram and Papanna Block slums for students from Class 1 to 9. Mr. Kashi says that they would welcome teaching volunteers and donations by way of books and stationary to students. (The association can be reached on 9448800012).
The association tries to break the monotony of long hours of curriculum-based learning by introducing some extra-curricular activities. Tanushree D. and Sangeeta G. say that they recently put up a play called "Buddha Marga" and had lots of fun rehearsing. "The association also conducts monthly tests and gives prizes to those who do well," chips in Vijayalakshmi H.
Ask the girls what they want to grow up to be, and the preferred choice of profession seems to be medicine, with teaching as the second choice. A small number say they want to be pilots, lawyers and bank managers. Manuja S., who wants to be a pilot, says that her friend Shweta B. will become an advocate and "fight corrupt people and those who spread communal hatred". Ask her how she can assume what her friend will do as a lawyer, and she shoots back: "Because that is what all lawyers should do."

After scouring the Internet for reviews I decided to try out the Sanuk. A few months of wearing the Sanuk and even on chilly days where I turn down the heat in our place the Sanuk manages to keep my toes warm. My initial impression was dissappointment because there is no fur on the sole, but the Sanuk is comfy nonetheless. Although, that would be my one suggestion for improvement.
I LOVE SANUKS! These are my third pair of Sanuks and they just keep getting better and better. The Donny Chill make me feel like I am wearing slippers to work. So comfortable and nice and toasty for those chilly winter days.
These sandals are sooo chill. But seriously, they are really comfy and give you a little added warmth. Plus when they start to smell or get dirty they can go right in the wash. They are super lightweight and nice to pack in your crag bag so on frigid fall mornings your feet can get toasty in between climbs. Also, they are only foam bottoms so not the best approach show...although if you forgot your approach shoes no worries they are still mad comfy, you just have no traction.
I now own 3 pairs of Sanuks. These are by far the best! Just when I thought they could not get any more comfortable, they added a soft cozy insulation! BUY A PAIR OF SANUKS. RIGHT NOW! Best shoes I have ever owned!Oh yea, and the black with the stripes is an awesome color!
This is the Best thing for your feet. The fur lining keeps your feet warm but is very breathable so they don't get too hot, I like how the fur is just on the upper and not on the footbed. Sometimes if I am running with flipflops my feet will slip out, not the case with these, the upper keeps you in them. Even if you buy the larger size cause your are a half size like me they will still stay put. Great for air travel, you can collapse the heel box and use them as slippers for all the check points and they are nice and cozy while you're on the plane. They are awesome for longing and doing your normal daily routine. Extermely Comfortable!
This is the cadillac for your feet,I have worn flipflops,specifically REEF.I just needed something warmer.I got them and tried them on I was sold.They are warm but very breathable and my feet stay a good temp without getting overly hot.They stay on your feet since they have the shoe upper,and the sandal bottom feels excellent.The nice thing about the fur lining is that it is only on the upper and your feet make contact directly with the sandal bottom.These are the best for travel since you can collapse the heel box into a slipper and slip them on and off in the airport.If you are a half size like me it is ok, go larger not smaller and you will still be happy.
My boyfriend absolutely loves these shoes! They are very warm and comfortable and I also love them because they are very fashionable. You can be comfy and fashion forward with these shoes. I would definitely recommend these shoes! (I plan to buy more of them.)

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Deferred tax assets can be a silver lining for some patient long-term bank stock investors.
Many bank holding companies that saw the worst of the banking crisis beginning in 2008 have large amounts of deferred tax assets (DTA), and depending on the banks' ability to show sustained profits, the realization of the DTA can add a boost to the bottom line.
Sterling Financial (STSA - Get Report) of Spokane, Wash., saw its second-quarter bottom line boosted by a $288.8 million release of its entire deferred tax assets valuation allowance. The company reported second-quarter earnings of $320.9 million, or $5.13 a share.

What rational justification is there for conceiving of all living things as possessing inherent worth? In Respect for Nature, Paul Taylor draws on biology, moral philosophy, and environmental science to defend a biocentric environmental ethic in which all life has value. Without making claims for the moral rights of plants and animals, he offers a reasoned alternative to the prevailing anthropocentric view--that the natural environment and its wildlife are valued only as objects for human use or enjoyment. Respect for Nature provides both a full account of the biological conditions for life--human or otherwise--and a comprehensive view of the complex relationship between human beings and the whole of nature.
This classic book remains a valuable resource for philosophers, biologists, and environmentalists alike--along with all those who care about the future of life on Earth. A new foreword by Dale Jamieson looks at how the original 1986 edition of Respect for Nature has shaped the study of environmental ethics, and shows why the work remains relevant to debates today.

Villa Vista is a home away from home. This Mediterranean styled villa overlooks the enchanting Hodges bay and is nestled amidst the windswept fauna of Point Dubique on the east coast of Dominica. As its name suggests, it is a house of panoramic views of the Atlantic ocean, Hodges river as well as the majestic Mountain ranges of Morne Trois Piton and Morn Diablotin. Atlantic breezes refresh and inspire making this villa ideal for relaxation. In addition to the captivating views, you will delight in the pleasant sounds of the seasurf, parrots, seagulls, pelicans as well as the soothing melodies of the revitalizing winds that bless the villa.
This picturesque Villa Vista comprises two floors, the top floor housing the master bedroom and spa facilities. The ground floor has one and a half bathrooms and two bedrooms: a Queen-sized and two twin beds fondly called the green and blue rooms respectively. The kitchen is self-contained and outfitted with you in mind, to continue that home away from home experience. It comes complete with refrigerator, microwave, stove with oven, coffeemaker, and toaster. The living room is cosy with its bed/couch and flat screened television to keep you entertained- you may view a selection of local and foreign channels or just gaze at the beautiful scenery from this comfort zone. Or you may wish to recline on one of the deckchairs on the open terrace, engage in yoga or just swim in the revitalizing negative edged pool or just enjoy a good rum punch as you bask in the pool while gazing at the enthralling vista. If you like keeping fit, there is an invigorating walk or run down to the beckoning beach where you can engage one of the fishermen in conversation or just sit quietly alongside the rolling river or join in the relaxing art of fishing.
If you visit during the full moon, the nights will become your days and your nirvana. The upstairs master bedroom houses a king-sized bamboo bed, a hot tub and a pristine view of the land and seascape. All this can be enjoyed while you take a soothing soak in the villa's Jacuzzi.
Villa Vista was built with you in mind, wireless/wifi to keep you linked with the rest of the world should you wish to remember that there is such a place, as the villa has a magical effect on all who enter. The many pictures were specially chosen to have you experience through visual impact our West Indian culture. All of them are by West Indians artists- Derek Walcott, Bosco Holder, Earl Etienne, Shalini to name a few; and depict aspects of our culture- cricket, carnival, our native Amerindians- the Kalinago of Dominica and the Garifuna of Belize, as well as our local dances (Bele).
Villavista is private enough for you to forget the world outside yet public enough for you to remember that Dominica is there to be explored. It is only a 20 minute drive from the airport-Melville Hall and is in close proximity to other well established guest houses. In the village of Calibishe, you can find quaint houses and shops and delectable eateries, also a mini winery to satisfy you. Calibishe is a quiet fishing village with warm, friendly people only too happy to help you experience the experience of a home away from home. It is also the home of red rocks, which add to the scenic quality of Villa Vista as well as the views all along the coast of Calibishe.
Yes, VillaVista is a vacation home, breathtaking, inspirational and the place to be if you are vacationing in the nature isle of Domincia. Vini, Come, experience this villa of vistas, VillaVista.
We arrived on the island at 9:30am due to our inter-island flight from Guadeloupe. We picked up our car and drove to the villa to drop off our luggage. The owner, Christopher and the caretaker, Gwenneth, greeted us.
While we waited for the villa to be cleaned we drove around Calibashie to get our bearings and then drove over to Portsmouth for lunch and groceries.
On our return to the villa, we were shown where everything was located, given directions about the wifi, gas grill, pool, etc. and we're also given a cell phone to use should we need it while on the island.
The villa was sparkling clean and as good, if not better than what the pictures show online.
The view is just gorgeous and the master bedroom was larger than expected.
The pool is a great plunge pool and was refreshing and cool. The pool itself gets sun from about 8:30 until 1:15. The patio and pool area gets sun until about 3:30.
The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were skimpy and they did not provide pillow covers for the spare pillows. Since we were only using one bedroom, we borrowed some from another bedroom (pillows thin and skimpy in all bedrooms).
The villa has lots of stone and the floors and bathrooms are very nice looking.
The gas grill was in excellent shape and worked very well. So many times the grills on the islands are old and rusty and do not cook the food very well, this was not the case here. I was even able to grill some nice BBQ chicken one night for dinner without having anything cook too much or too little.
Wifi was strong and we could even connect to DISH back home in the evening to watch a recorded show.
The only drawback is that there is no dishwasher.
Be sure to save your plastic bags from shopping as you will need them for trash bags. They only provided one trash bag and expect you to use bags from the grocery store (they will provide extras if needed).
If you have never stayed on an island in the hills, it may take a bit to get used to the wind. It made for very comfortable days by the pool, but when rain came at night, the winds got stronger and woke us up once or twice.
It was also too chilly to enjoy dinner sitting out on the deck by the pool.
A couple of locals told us that the stronger winds are not typical for this time of the year. It usually does not get this windy until hurricane season.
The wind does keep all of the mosquitos away - so that was a plus. We had no issues with skeeters or any type of insect the entire stay on the island.
We stayed at Villa Vista for 12 days. The views from the decks are superb and the location is perfect. Its great getting up in the morning and watching the sun rise. Lots of birds to keep you company - hummingbirds galore. It's great to go out on the deck at night and watch the stars. The Villa feels very private and one can easily melt into the raw beauty of Dominica…
The Villa is well-equipped and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need for a home away from home. The appliances are in good working order. It is great to have a BBQ available – bought fish from fisherman and cooked them on the BBQ. There is no air-conditioning however it was never needed as the breezes kept it comfortable.
Chris and Gweneth made our stay wonderful. Chris contacted us several times during our stay to ensure that everything was okay. The website for the Villa represents the Villa accurately.
The Villa is close (1 MILE) to the village of Calibishie – just for the exercise we walked to town every morning. There is a small grocery store in Calibishie to get the basics but need to go to Portsmouth/Picard for a wider choice of groceries. If you time it right in the morning you can bump into the roving bread truck to get fresh bread and pastries.
There are a few restaurants in town and POZ restaurant is a close 5-10 min walk without having to venture into town - loved the fig pie appetizer.
There are a few places to visit that are close by – Red Rock (Next Street after POZ), Batibou Beach (about 10 min drive – what a great lunch at the beach bar) and Number One Beach. Driving distances/times – I could never make Portsmouth in less than 40 minutes as the roads are full of twists/curves and elevation changes. It made diving a bit of a chore as you eat up 90+ minutes just getting back and forth. There is a copy of Bradts Dominica travel guide in the Villa. It was great to have it and in retrospect we should have had the guide before our visit so we could have better planned our trip as there is so much to see and do in Dominica.
We enjoyed our stay at the Villa very much.
This house is beautiful. I just wished my own house was this great. The master shower is awesome. The house is built so well and there is so much detail to the work in the quality of the house. The view from the house is worth a million bucks. It was so nice to BBQ and relax out there looking at the view. The location is in a quiet neighborhood with other nice houses.
There is a local cell phone at the house for your own personal use. You can go to many places to put minutes on it and it's inexpensive. Just bring the phone in to certain places that have the LIME sign on the outside. There is an awesome place for good and drinks within walking distance from the house called POZ for those who do not rent a car.
There are beautiful beaches in each direction from the house off the main road. There are some hiking places close by and a fairly new little tour very close to the house towards the south.
Would I book this place again? Most definitely. I wish I can go back next week. There is so much more we want to see and explore there.
Villa Vista is a clean, modern home in the NE section of Dominica -- more specifically in the village of Calibishie. And with the best view on the island, it's the place to stay! There is a continual breeze day and night, so it's great for private sunbathing and for fine sleeping weather.
The upstairs king bed is comfortable and the bathroom spacious. The neighborhood is quiet at night and you will be amazed by the starry sky. One cocktail hour while enjoying the upstairs terrace, in the distance we saw a whale breach three times. What an unexpected and delightful sight!
There is a nice grill for cooking fresh fish at dinner (buy at the Fisheries in Marigot) and the IGA in Portsmouth (a 30-minute drive) has a good selection of fresh vegetables. ... and, of course, with all the banana plantations at the north end, plenty of freshly picked bananas for breakfast.
Chris, the owner, and Gwyneth are both friendly and welcoming. There is very good internet for those wanting to stay connected.
The photos of this villa don't do it justice--not only will the view take your breath away, but the hospitality from the owner and property manager was fantastic. Callibishie is a great place, freindly, of course, and the stores and restaraunts are convenient.
Dominica is like no other place--the natural beauty is incredible, and the people are welcoming.
We've been home for a while, but my mind will remain there for some time...
Our stay was absolutely wonderful!!! The house was even more beautiful than we imagined it would be, and everything was very comfortable. The pictures do not do it justice. Also, Gweneth, the lady who looks after the house, was so nice and welcoming, and we really appreciated that Chris and she accommodated us when we were running late the day of our arrival. She also gave us great dining and activity advice.
One suggestion would be to perhaps get a small sound system. The only reason we even thought of it was because the house had virtually everything else we could have asked for.
My only other complaint is that staying in such a great house made leaving Dominica even more difficult. However, it made us even more determined to visit Dominica again, and we will certainly be staying at Villa Vista when we do.

AXO Freedom GT Waterproof Boots Review

Solid footwear is mandatory for varying conditions like these. The AXO Freedom GT has reliable waterproofing, enough support for semi-aggressive riding and all-day comfort.
We had a nice, long spring here in Southern Oregon that has left our lakes and rivers at max capacity. Usually extra wet weather isn't a welcome thing for motorcycling, but it worked perfectly to try out
AXO's Freedom GT Waterproof Boots
. I tried them with electric motorcycles, street bikes and adventure touring bikes and found them to be great motorcycle boots.
Comfort is one of the GT's top features. All-day riding is no problem with these boots and putting them on can feel like stepping into a snug slipper. The boots are heavily padded with a thick tongue. The reason for the overbuilt tongue is the BOA reel and lace technology closure system. This is a ratcheting spool located on the outside of each boot which allows the rider to cinch to a desired fit. A stainless steel lace winds over the tongue from the top of the rider's foot and up onto the shin. Spinning the dial tightens the lace but it cannot be felt on the skin. Instead it compresses the entire boot onto the body for a secure fit. Releasing the tension is done by pulling the spool dial outward a fraction of an inch.
Overall this is a very handy system. It reminds me of something you find on a racing boot. Because of the boot's height, it is possible to tighten the lace a lot at the top and not so much down around the ankle, but I found that even pressure is achievable with a little bending and flexing while cranking the dial.
Often times riding pants like to climb up when the knees are bent, and the Freedom boots are just tall enough to keep from exposing the leg when adorned in a classic set of high-waters. This helps ensure that water isn't going to come in from the top, which is the only way we felt it penetrate. The exterior is a polyurethane-coated synthetic material that mimics leather and refuses to allow moisture. Suede panels on the inside edges and across the top of the toes help with feel and wear protection. These will get wet, but the water does not pass through to the rider's feet. The shin plate wraps around and seals with a large overlap held in place by Velcro.
Stretch panels help keep the GT boots flexible, but the shin, heel and calf panels are pressure-molded plates for rigid protection. The injection-molded outer sole is comfortable to walk on and has just enough of a heel to rest against the footpeg while seated. For ADV riding, the AXO boots actually have decent support when standing on the pegs thanks to a plastic mid-sole. Obviously the waterproofing pays off for water crossings and mud puddles common to adventuring, but the smooth rubber sole is not the best for off-road applications. Rubber vibration inserts common on ADV pegs do not mix well with water. The GT boots are very slippery in this circumstance.
The AXO Freedom is a waterproof boot, but I consider them capable of being year-round wear. The thick padding and snug fit does retain some heat, but I won't hesitate to grab them throughout the summer. Slightly deeper lugs on the soles would help these boots, even when simply putting a foot down on dirty pavement, plus it would really give them more credibility with the street-biased ADV crowd. Most importantly, the keystone feature, the BOA system, is easy, secure and gives the boots a high-end feel.
AXO Freedom GT Waterproof Boots
are available from
in sizes 5-13.

That's an interesting observation. I have never looked at it quite that closely.
My experience has been that my very best results with the Apotar come at f8 and f11. I suspect that any focus error I have introduced is probably inside the circle of confusion at those apertures.
I have also had pretty good luck with portraits by actually measuring the distance from the very back edge of the accessory shoe (which I estimate to be the film plane) to the subject's nose. I've never done that with my Apotar but I have certainly done it successfully several times with the Schneider Kreuznach Radionar 4.5/105 on my Balda Baldalux 6x9. I know that isn't an Apotar but it is still a very nice triplet as well. I'm not sure I would try to do this professionally but with my grandkids it makes a great game and gets them smiling every time.

Virtual 3D Showroom
- Client
- Location
- Berlin | Paris | London | Denver | Munich
- Completion Date
- September 2010
The most successful trade show exhibit in the history of EADS
In 2009, the agency NMY created a 3D multi touch presentation system for the client Cassidian. It became the most successful trade show exhibit so far in the ten years of the company's history and is still today. In order to take the system to trade shows worldwide we developed content and interactions to more detailed level. We enhanced the 3D multi touch presentation system with products, systems, data, statistics, and political and marketing messages. The next goal is to present the 3D world of Cassidian on big as well as small multi touch devices in a marketing and retail environment at trade shows, in showrooms and for 1:1 presentations. Cassidian also requested a mobile version of the multi-touch table TOUCHLAB® that can be shipped to smaller trade shows.
The aim was to come up with a concept, design and realization for a sustainable software solution that makes it possible to present the innovative world of EADS in 3D real time through multi touch.
In order to create an even more impressive experience, our programmers developed an open port within the software to digitally connect the multi touch table application with a LED light installation, a sound system and a projector screen. One of the biggest challenges was to transfer the complex data and information provided by Cassidian into a consistent software concept. In the early stages of planning specialized information architecture and storyboards enabled the client to understand how the application would be structured. This allowed him to take part in the production process and to request changes even before any software was programmed.
The technical realization is based on a game engine (Unity3D) that our programmers had enhanced with an improved and fast reacting multi touch control system. Since visitors of trade shows have different amount of time available, it was crucial to allow the possibility for free interaction without any linear structural requirements. Through 2D and 3D navigations the multi touch operator can simulate and thereby explain products, processes, and he can visualize data and present interactive charts. A total of 30 people were involved in the production process working in the fields of consultancy, conceptualization, software programming, 3D design and sound. More than 400 3D models were created, a multitude of 3D terrains designed, and about 600 sound samples and complex real time motion graphics were produced. We are currently working on a further enhancement of the application. The estimated development time is 8 months.
The expectations were high following the success of the first application. The new system nevertheless caused much excitement on all levels reaching from the Cassidian board to the marketing staff and the clients. With the new system in place Cassidian has charted an increase of clients' residence time in sales talks. The modern and state of the art information and education application also helps Cassidian to present itself as an innovative company and to reinforce its messages. Due to the system's success further measurements in the coming years were planned in order to integrate the application in the overall marketing and distribution structure. One of the most successful of these was the expansion into 3D stereo, that enabled the complete application to produce hologram like projections for interactive 3D presentations. This proved to be one of the core features for the amazment of key customers during product demonstrations.

To help kick 2010 off right, Intel has filled out the rest of its current-gen processor line-up with the help of Westmere. We're taking a look at the desktop variant here, which brings a lot to the table compared to the previous generation. For those who've been holding out for that next affordable PC upgrade, the wait has been worth it.
I have mentioned many times in the past, most recently in our DP55WG review, that I'm not entirely a fan of Intel's BIOSes. All of the issues I have with them have to do with clunkiness, which rears its ugly head in various ways. For one, switching from one top menu to another actually redraws the screen. It's not a quick transition like on most other boards. Second, the overclocking options are totally lacking, and the DH55TC takes that to a new level.
I won't explain everything about the BIOS here, because the pictures do a good job of making less work for me in that regard. All of the importnat options are here, but interestingly enough, the overclocking options are highly limited. You can adjust the BCLK and CPU voltage, but not much else. Want to tighten your memory timings? You can't. No joke. With my DDR3-1333 kit, I was forced to use 9-9-9 timings, rather than the 7-7-7 timings the kit is capable of.
It's for this reason that I opted to perform all testing not on this board, but rather ASUS' P7H55D-M EVO, which I take a look at on the following page. That board is much more open when it comes to flexibility, so it made more sense to use it for testing. Chances are also good that it will be a more popular choice than the DH55TC, for reasons I discussed here.

Vhong Navarro claims Deniece Cornejo performed oral sex on him
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — The plot has thickened and the characters get in heat.
In the affidavit of television host Ferdinand "Vhong" Navarro that the National Bureau of Investigation filed in the Department of Justice Tuesday afternoon, he claimed that his supposed rape victim Deniece Millet Cornejo had performed oral sex on him in their meeting before the alleged mauling.
According to the affidavit, before the sexual activity, Navarro and Cornejo met at the latter's unit at Forbeswood Heights Condominium at Bonifacio Global City and consumed a bottle of white wine then proceeded to kiss each other.
"After consuming one bottle of white wine, they made out and it led to oral sex…," the affidavit said, though the date when the incident happened was not given.
In the affidavit, Navarro and Cornejo met at a sneaker store a couple of years ago wherein they exchanged their contact details resulting to a friendship between the two.
It added that their communication abruptly ended but resumed two months ago through Facebook and Viber.
It also said that on January 22, the date of the alleged beating up of Navarro courtesy of Cedric Lee and his friends, Cornejo invited Navarro to have dinner at her place.
According to the document, when Navarro was inside Cornejo's unit, two men came out of the room and one pointed a gun at the comedian-TV host. They then tied and blindfolded Navarro and simultaneously rained blows on him.
During the beating, Navarro claimed that he heard several people enter the unit who joined in attacking him. Navarro said these men then pulled his trousers down and removed his blindfold.
Navarro then claimed that, while he was naked, video cameras were pointed at him and that the perpetrators ordered him to utter "Ako si Vhong, ni-rape ko ang kaibigan ko." (I am Vhong and I raped my friend).
According to the affidavit, Cornejo and Lee conspired on the alleged crime saying that the two "are in harmony in doing their acts."
It said that Cornejo and Lee agreed on their actions to attain their goal of restraining the liberty of Navarro as they threatened to kill him and his family and exact a payment of P2 million from Navarro's alleged rape.

Man City willing to offer players, cash for Liverpool stars Gerrard, Torres
Manchester City are planning a stunning cash-plus-players offer for Liverpool star pair Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.
The News of the World says City have lined up Emmanuel Adebayor and Stephen Ireland as bait in an £80m package for Gerrard and Torres.
City will put forward the pairing as part of a sensational deal to bring two of the best players in the Premier League to Eastlands.
Although City fear the pair will only leave Liverpool for another team in the Champions League, they are serious bidders for the world-class duo.
Adebayor has been unhappy at City for most of the season and Ireland has failed to make an impact after winning last season's player of the year award.
City are willing to strike a deal for around £40m cash, plus two players with proven pedigree to assist Liverpool's rebuilding project.

Federal Waters Reopen For Deepwater Shrimping
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – Forty-two hundred-square-miles of federal waters are open again off the Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama coast. The fishing grounds had reopened earlier, but were closed in November after tar balls were discovered in commercial nets. Fishing crews were harvesting royal red shrimps from waters deeper than 600 feet. Testing didn't determine if the tar balls came from the BP spill. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says recent testing found no traces of oil or the chemical dispersants used to break it up.
For WWNO, I'm Eileen Fleming.

The emergency call boxes (ECBs) along both sides of a section of national highway no. 8 (connecting Virar to Surat), are currently playing the role of showpieces instead of helping stranded commuters contact the relevant authorities in case of a breakdown or accident. Kandivali resident Mehul Kataria, also an RTI activist, learnt this the hard way, when his car broke down on his way to Dahanu on Tuesday.
Just after Kataria and his family had crossed Virar, their car began to sputter. "We had three children in the car, so we were really worried. That's when we saw the emergency phones. I rushed to the booth only to find that the phone wasn't working," said Kataria.
"The road was flooded and there had already been 2-3 accidents along this stretch. I managed to drive the car a little further and tried to call from other EBCs. But even those weren't working. Finally, we somehow managed to get the car to work," said the activist.
When they reached a toll naka, Kataria and his friends ask its staff why the EBCs were not working. "They seemed clueless. It was surprising, because so many tourists, especially foreigners, who are first-time visitors, take this route. What will they do in case of an emergency?" he asked.
On Wednesday, Kataria filed an RTI with the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) demanding an explanation. He was shocked to find that the EBCs between Virar and Charoti were not defunct, they had not been connected at all.
Mukund Attarde, manager, technical NHAI, said that the phones lines had not yet been connected. He advised commuters to instead call on helpline numbers displayed every few metres along the highway. "We have already commissioned the lines between Charoti and Surat. From Mumbai to Charoti will be done in another month's time," said Attarde, adding that if all goes well, lines may start working in 15 days.

So can someone please explain what the go is if ive paid for a project and it gets yanked from under my feet ?

I cannot remember the authors name as it no longer has the authors details for the project in my downloads section, however the project is so similar in almost every aspect to this project but im unsure if its the same author. Ive looked at ever single project in its genre and this is probably 98% identical in almost every aspect.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO03WH8Lh2w
I just checked videohives guidelines which states that refunds can only be given if its purchased within 5days and its removed by the author, and its never been downloaded. It does rule me out but im not unreasonable and i completely understand all that, i really dont want a refund i just want the project i paid for.
Hi Dreadnok, maybe this project http://videohive.net/item/comic-action-the-beginning/4098573?WT.ac=weekly_feature&WT.seg_1=weekly_feature&WT.z_author=Vectorica

Ive looked at ever single project in its genre and this is probably 98% identical in almost every aspect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO03WH8Lh2w
I see, well if the project was 98% identical (but from another author) that's the reason why it's been removed… are you sure it's not the one that you found on youtube? I think it's been slightly modified and uploaded again, maybe yeremia is right, in fact if you click on the purchase link on youtube it will take you to an error page, but Vectorica has an almost identical project, you may try to contact him and ask for some help.
Sorry I can't help any further
