The Isle of Wight region
Cross the Solent to the Isle of Wight and you may feel as if you have stepped back in time! The Isle of Wight is one of the best kept secrets in the UK when it comes to areas of outstanding natural beauty.
Osborne House in East Cowes, is well worth a visit. It was the Summer Home of Queen Victoria for many years. The house and gardens are open to visitors during the summer months and there is usually an open air 'Last Night at the Proms' concert in the grounds sometime during July.
Alum Bay near Yarmouth is the home to the famous coloured sands. A chairlift operates from the Needles Pleasure Park down to the beach.
Ventnor on the south side of the Island enjoys a microclimate of its own. The Botanical Gardens have a variety of unusual plant life. The town itself is perched on a hill and there are several pubs and restaurants overlooking the sea where one can spend a pleasant day watching the world go by.
Blackgang Chine is a Pleasure Park built on the edge of a cliff on the south side of the Island. There are various fairground type rides, plus Wild West Land, Dinosaur Land, Haunted House and a variety of different attractions to keep the children entertained.
The Isle of Wight Lavender Farm is also worth a visit. The Old Dairy Tearoom has some interesting goodies to try out - lavender ice-cream and lavender scones and cakes! For a more traditional cream tea we suggest you try out one of the many old fashioned tearooms in Shanklin.
The Island offers the cyclist dedicated cycleways - many following the course of disused railway lines, signed routes, miles of bridleways and quiet country lanes as an alternative to busy main roads.
The Isle of Wight plays host to 8 golf clubs, from 9 to 18 holes. For fun and gentle activity, wander down to the Needles View Pitch and Putt, set on the slopes of Headon Warren, between the national Coastal Path and Alum Bay Chine. Here you can have a crack at the challenging nine-hole course, covering two acres, while enjoying stunning views of the Needles and superb coastal views across the Solent.
Cowes has an abundance of restaurants, bars and interesting shops. There's a couple of small supermarkets in the town and if you need a relaxing treat there's a small spa close by.
Cowes has narrow streets and as well as many shops selling the latest sailing gear there are a number of local craft shops where you can usually find that unique present for the man or woman who has everything!
There are some lovely walks within close proximity. From Regatta Cottage you can follow the circular walk along the river path to Newport and back. There are a number of guide books at the house providing details of this and other walks on the Island.
There are many restaurants offering a variety of fare including Indian, Thai, the local catch of the day and good old fashioned fish and chips.
There is an abundance of pubs in Cowes. Allegedly, there are more pubs per square mile than in any other town in the UK! Many of the pubs do food and The Anchor often has live bands playing during the summer months.
Cowes is a splendid base for many of the Island's attractions, including walking, cycling, golf and cultural trips around some of the historic buildings.

Many thanks for your kind review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that you appreciate how well-equipped Regatta Cottage is. We always make sure that we keep it in tip top condition. In fact, we have got our decorator in this week sprucing the place up.

"Great house & near to everything"
Had a fab week in IOW - the house is easy to find (just behind the chain ferry).Minimalistic decor - loved the Egyptian cotton duvet covers & sheets.There are plenty of glasses, mugs, cutlery, plates … More
Thank you for your kind review. We were pleased that you noticed how well we have kitted out the house for our guests. We make sure that it has everything we think people will need and no more - so it is a lovely clutter free house. Very pleased that you would like to make a return visit and look forward to welcoming you back.

"Well equipped clean Family holiday home"
Firstly, Amanda, the owner, made the initial enquiry and booking VERY easy. She's a genuine person!!
The house is clean, very well equipped and spacious. Almost too much room for the five of us. The welcome pack is a nice touch.
Nice compact but well thought out rear garden.
The area was quiet and only a short walk from town.
The only negative is the `on street parking'.
All in all though it was a great base and only 25 mins from the Wightlink ferry.
Thank you for your lovely review. So pleased that you enjoyed the house and garden. If you do decide to make a return visit to Regatta Cottage you may want to consider the Red Funnel ferry from Southampton to East Cowes. This ferry is much closer, you hop on the Chain Ferry from East Cowes to West Cowes and the house is then only 2 minutes away in the car. Although we do not have a dedicated parking space outside the house at Regatta Cottage there is plenty of free on street parking available not far from the house.

"Beautiful house with lovely garden"
Regatta Cottage is a lovely rental, equipped to a very high standard and clearly recently refurbished. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and made our lives much easier particularly as we were only there for a weekend.
Key pick up and return is at a local pub (in West Cowes centre near the hi speed ferry) and was nice and easy. Is about 5-10mins walk from the property. There are several keys which is useful for large groups.
The garden looked lovely but we didn't really get a chance to use it, mores the pity.
Thank you for your review, glad you liked your welcome basket. Amanda

"Perfect Holiday Rental"
From the first contact with Amanda I knew this place was going to be great.
Amanda was very prompt and helpful in answering emails and throughout the booking process.
The cottage itself is amazing. A huge kitchen, lovely backyard and very comfy beds!
Everything you could think of is catered for including kitchen equipment, dvd's, and sensor lights on the landing!
I highly recommend this Cottage for it's great location to West Cowes centre and homely feel. There is already talk of going back next year we had such a great stay.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Regatta Cottage and delighted that you are considering returning next year. What a fabulous endorsement! Thank you again for taking the time to write a review for us.

"Great property in Cowes"
Just had a great week in this cottage visiting extended family. House was spotless and had a lovely garden to relax in. The house was also well stocked with books, DVD's and board games. Location was great and a short walk to shops and very easy to get to the chain ferry over to East Cowes. Would recommend to anybody coming to the island and cannot recommend highly enough.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is great to know that you enjoyed the house and all it has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

"A real home from home"
One of the most comfortable holiday rentals we have had. Great for those who prefer eating in - a very well equipped kitchen. All the beds were very comfortable and the bedding and linen spotlessly clean. The garden was lovely and would be a great place to spend time in the warmer weather. The property is only a short walk from the town centre which has some lovely coffee shops/bars. It was also only around a 30 minute drive to most other parts of the island. A very enjoyable holiday.
Many thanks for your lovely review. We are really delighted that you enjoyed your stay.

The Villa was formally a boutique hotel with recent change of ownership and management changed the Property to an exclusive Private Villa.
Villa Ambiente takes the phrase 'postcards from paradise' to an entirely new level.
Featuring eight fully-equipped bedrooms, a breathtaking infinity pool that overlooks the mighty Pacific Ocean and more first-rate appliances than a Home Depot catalog, Villa Ambiente is a top-of-the-line vacation rental nestled in the lush green hills of Dominicalito, Costa Rica.
Those who visit say it's like having your own mini resort within a completely private estate. This is outdoor living at its finest.
A short 8-minute drive from the seashore into tropical jungle, Villa Ambiente's immaculate living area spans more than 7,000-square feet and includes a large villa, split-level pool deck in a five hectares estate of pristine forest. The grounds are optimal for hosting a range of social events, including family reunions, weddings and anniversaries.
Wireless Internet runs throughout the house.
As soon as your entourage enters Villa Ambiente's pristine gates, navigating its paved driveway lined with wispy palm trees and old-fashion street lights, you'll know you're all in for something truly special.
Open the front door and your vacation dreams quickly become a reality.
A beautiful, natural-light garden and flowing water fountain greet visitors on arrival. There are four private bedrooms adjacent to the first-floor garden, two on the left and two on the right. Each room has its own air conditioning unit, television, bathroom, secure safety box and private patio.
Past the garden is a grand entertaining room complete with soft-to-the-touch sofas, love seats and tables. An immaculate wine bar is nestled on the right side of the room, the perfect place to unwind with a glass of chardonnay after a long day under the Central American sun.
About that sun: you'll have plenty of time to catch rays out at the 40-foot infinity pool, which is second to none in terms of location and looks. And don't even think about packing towels on this trip. We have you covered from the moment you arrive to the second you say 'adios!'
The pool is lined with layout chairs and tables, and a barbecue is always on standby to crank out some local fish. There's also an outdoor shower and changing room nearby.
On the west side of the pool deck, the side that's closest to the ocean, sits an outdoor tiki bar that easily seats a half-dozen guest. If you ever wanted to pretend you were Tom Cruise in 'Cocktail,' mixing drinks behind your back and tossing tequila in the air, this is the premier spot to work on your libation-making skills.
The kitchen, also located on the first floor adjacent to the wine bar, is completely up to date with stainless steel appliances, filtered water, a wine cooler and dishwasher.
While most of the action takes place on the first floor, there are four additional bedrooms on the second floor. Each of these rooms features a king bed, balcony, television, safe security box, air conditioning and bathroom.
Above all that, on the third floor, is a small lookout area good for gazing into the nearby jungle. Grab some binoculars and go up there because you never know; you might just see a family of white-faced monkeys or a couple of Parrots out there.
Villa Ambiente is that kind of special place.
• You will need to rent a 4x4 vehicle to access the property and to enjoy the southern Pacific zone of Costa Rica

Best Vacation EVER
I could have easily stayed at the house for the week, but we were in Costa Rica!! We never had any shortage of adventure. The people are absolutely welcoming. Neil was an amazing help when it came to suggestions. I look forward to returning!
You need to have a car for this property (with 4 wheel drive) TRUST ME- it's worth it!
About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the manager
We went as group for friends and just got back from a fabulous vacation at Villa Ambiente. When we arrived we walked through the lounge doors and were amazed at the views that are truly superb. We saw many sunsets and enjoyed many cocktails around the pool that was really awesome!!! We liked that the beach was just down the track and many others along the road and also the local restaurants. This part of Costa Rica has still not suffered from over tourism, the wildlife, waterfalls, beaches and local people are great and very friendly. Zip lining and rafting were fun and exciting and the dolphin and whale watching was an amazing experience!!! Dominical and Uvita are close and had good stores and restaurants.The manager was always available and provided great customer service.
The Perfect getaway and for sure we will recommend this villa.

Greater London Plan
The Greater London Plan of 1944 was developed by Sir Leslie Patrick Abercrombie (1879-1957). The plan was directly related to the County of London Plan written by Abercrombie in 1943, with contributions by John Henry Forshaw (1895-1973). Following World War II, London was presented with an opportunity to amend the perceived failings of unplanned and haphazard development that had occurred as a result of rapid industrialisation in the nineteenth century.[1]
During the Second World War, the blitz had destroyed large urban areas throughout the entire county of London, but particularly the central core. Over 50,000 inner London homes were completely destroyed, while more than 2 million dwellings experienced some form of bomb damage. This presented the London City Council with a unique chance to plan and rebuild vacant tracts of the city on a scale not seen since the Great Fire of London.[2]
The plan was based around five main issues facing London at the time:
- Population Growth
- Housing
- Employment and industry
- Recreation
- Transport
Population Growth[edit]
Rapid population growth, combined with the inevitable return of many evacuees during the war, saw London facing significant housing shortages and density problems. The 118 square mile city was estimated to have a population of over 4 million in 1938. A series of four rings were outlined (Inner Urban, Suburban, Green belt and Outer Country) in order to control development and limit sprawl into regional areas. The 'Inner Urban Ring' restricted any new housing or industrial development that were deemed to be above the limit of tolerable conditions, whilst reconstructing damaged buildings in a modern interpretation of their original state. The 'Suburban Ring' would be developed with a mix of both housing and light industry so that no regions became inefficient dormitory suburbs. The 'Green Belt Ring' encouraged the creation of parkland and recreational spaces, restrictions were placed on all development apart from that within existing villages. The 'Outer Country Ring' would support farmland whilst containing a number of satellite towns that would help to relocate large populations away from the overcrowded areas of central London.[3]
The creation of new housing developments were to be mostly concentrated within areas damaged by the air raids, the suburban ring and in new satellite towns. Abercrombie notes the locations of existing communities within London, and aims to develop these communities as growth areas focussed around a core neighbourhood. Housing development aimed to foster these communities with a mix of professions, family sizes and socio-economic groups. The 'Homes of One's Own' initiative aimed to reduce the number of families that were forced to share a dwelling (63.5% of families were forced to share their home in 1931). Affordable living options in both apartment and detached houses would be constructed under the Greater London Plan. Specific architectural styles would be adhered to throughout all new developments in order to create aesthetically pleasing streetscapes.[4]
Employment and Industry[edit]
The creation of strong neighbourhood centres would be complemented by a mix of commercial opportunities that service the immediate area. Employment opportunities were to be located in proximity to dwellings in order to allow the formation of a labour pool, yet not so close that it would adversely effect the surrounding populations. The main focus for manufacturing industries would be to relocate away from the dense inner city and into 'new towns' with access to a specialised labour force. Particular industries were to be located in areas with access to the relevant necessary resources such as rail stations or the River Thames. Complementary industries were encouraged to cluster together so that they could benefit from the input sharing and knowledge spillovers of each neighbouring firm.[5]
The development of open spaces was of high importance to Abercrombie in the Greater London Plan, recreation was seen as an essential part of life. All open spaces were to be retained, with particular significance given to the development of a 'green belt'. A variety of open spaces was to be established, from city squares and formal gardens to more wild and picturesque parks. A series of parkways would be created, allowing residents to walk between the major open spaces unimpeded by traffic. It was hoped that for every 1000 city residents there would be four acres of accessible open space. In 1944, some boroughs experienced 0.1 acre of open space per 1000 inhabitants.[6] Abercrombie acknowledges that London is far too dense to provide an appropriate level of open space for each resident, so it is proposed that improved transport will allow every inhabitant access to recreational areas outside of their immediate neighbourhood.
Dwellings, industry and recreational spaces are all linked by transport within London. Ensuring adequate levels of efficient transport were key to the Greater London Plan. Although transportation had rapidly changed throughout the 20th Century, the roadways had not. The number of cars in Britain had risen from 143,877 in 1910 to a staggering 3,084,896 in 1940.[7] This led to areas of mass congestion and an increase in transport related accidents. Abercrombie sought to improve traffic circulation via an American inspired separation of differing modes on a number of levels throughout the city. A series of main arterials and ring roads would also allow road users to avoid the most congested sections of the network. Rail transit in London was to be separated into differing passenger and commercial networks. However rail was privately owned, creating an environment whereby planning legislation had little effect on the operations of train companies. The River Thames was to be redefined as a focal point for the city, and it was hoped to maximise its potential as a trade and transport resource.[8]
Repercussions of The Greater London Plan[edit]
Although the report was comprehensive in attempting to solve the issues facing London at the time, its implementation was not fully realised. The economic climate in Britain during the post war era simply did not allow for major infrastructure development on the scale that Abercrombie had suggested. Even though a gradualist, Geddesian style approach was suggested, Abercrombie may not have considered the minimal impact that one visionary can have on an ancient, complex and ever growing city such as London. No matter the resulting level of physical construction, the Greater London Plan was extremely successful in creating an optimistic outlook for the people of London, providing hope for the return of a great civilisation from the depths of World War Two.

President's Message
March 2015
into the State Capitol, down the corridors and through the first floor rotunda to Senator de Leon's office, I was reminded of the CARPD Mission Statement, "The California Association of Recreation and Park Districts advocates for and provides park districts the support needed to fulfill their role as providers of quality programs and facilities to their local communities." Our relationship with the lawmakers of this wonderful State we all live in, is part of the backbone of our organization.
While waiting in Senator de Leon's office, I had the pleasure of listening to our Legislative advocate, Ralph Heim, as he shared some of his memories and experience while advocating for CARPD. The question of when is the right time to retire came up and I was concerned that we were going to lose our seasoned veteran of 33 years. He then went on to mention how much he still enjoys what he does and the word "Passion" came to mind. Passion is what fuels this organization. As long as we hold on to that passion, the thought of leaving or hanging up our hats doesn't come into play. I have heard it time and time again from most of our members and can see it in the eyes of others that we truly love what we're doing and embrace the fact that we can make a difference in this world of recreation and parks. I thank you, one and all, for the continued
support and dedication to your own district as well as to CARPD.
Now on to our upcoming CARPD Spring Conference in beautiful South Lake Tahoe May 14-16, 2015. This Conference has really come together thanks to my fellow Board Members, CARPD Executive Director Pat Cabulagan, his staff and our member input. You can all look forward to a Sponsor Reception Cruise around the Lake and a special keynote speaker that will have everyone standing in line for an autograph. Former Los Angeles Dodger and San Diego Padre, Steve Garvey has graciously accepted our offer to speak at our Spring Conference. So get your award nominations in by March 6th and take advantage of our early bird discounted fee for registering by March 13th. This is one conference you don't want to miss. We have lined up three scholarships for this year's conference funded solely by our raffle ticket sales last year.
We are always looking to add to our raffle prize inventory, so if you or your District would like to donate something please bring it with you to the conference.
Remember, we are always looking for better ways to serve our members. If your District has something to share with the membership, whether a success or challenge, we would appreciate hearing from you. You can send your story or comments to our Executive Director Pat Cabulagan at firstname.lastname@example.com.
As my year of serving as the President of the CARPD heads into the home stretch, I would like to thank you all again for being a member and supporting our organization.
Rick Sloan
President, Board of Directors
On February 4, 2015 I had the pleasure of presenting a plaque on behalf of CARPD to last year's recipient of our "Legislator of the Year" award, California State Senator (24th District) and President pro Tempore, Kevin de Leon. As I walked

Storms, tornado threats for Christmas around US
"It only takes a few minutes, and it will help everyone have a safe Christmas," Bryant said.
In Alabama, the director of the Emergency Management Agency, Art Faulkner, said he has briefed both local officials and Gov. Robert Bentley on plans for dealing with a possible outbreak of storms.
No day is good for severe weather, but Faulkner said Christmas adds extra challenges because people are visiting unfamiliar areas and often thinking more of snow than possible twisters.
In California, after a brief reprieve across the northern half of the state on Monday, wet weather was expected to make another appearance on Christmas Day. Flooding and snarled holiday traffic were expected in Southern California.
Associated Press writer Bob Johnson in Montgomery, Ala., and Ken Miller in Oklahoma City, Okla., contributed to this report.

We'll return to a full show for episode 30. Hanley Ramirez is out for at least eight weeks with a torn ligament in his thumb. That's going to hurt the offense, but could improve the defense in the short-term. We also get off on a tangent about Carl Crawford's health and status for April 1. Zack Greinke's elbow is still a concern, but he looked good in a minor-league game on Wednesday. I talk about what I heard Curt Schilling say on the March 15 Baseball Tonight podcast.

Shakes & Fidget - The Game App is a role playing game for Android that tries to make fun of other role playing games. The storyline is pretty good and although it can be quite challenging to get used to it, it's a really fun game with many features and actions to do.
The first thing you need to do when opening the game is to create a character from any available race, the class (warrior, mage or scout) and then customize your appearance. After you've chosen your username, you can start playing by visiting all places and doing quests that will make you earn points. Some of the quests are pretty funny: work for an hour as a city guard, you can buy animal travels, magic items and weapons.
Playa Games is the developer of Shakes & Fidget - The Game App and its graphic pack. This game has achieved quite a success so they've done a good job. Design and animations are pretty good and everything works smooth.

Homo, genus of the family Hominidae (order Primates) characterized by a relatively large cranial capacity, limb structure adapted to a habitual erect posture and a bipedal gait, well-developed and fully opposable thumbs, hands capable of power and precision grips, and the ability to make standardized precision tools, using one tool to make another. Together with modern humans, Homo sapiens, the genus includes the extinct species H. habilis, H. erectus, and H. heidelbergensis as well as the extinct Neanderthals (H. neanderthalensis) and the early form of Homo sapiens called Cro-Magnon.
A mandible discovered at the Ledi-Geraru research site in Ethiopia's Awash River valley in early 2013 serves as the oldest fossil specimen attributed to the genus. Dated to 2.8 million–2.75 million years ago, it possesses some of the primitive traits that occur in Australopithecus while also containing derived features (such as smaller teeth and a reduced chin) associated with later species of Homo.

The group then moved to the preparator's vault where they removed the lids from the first cases revealing fabulous bronze, jade and silk artifacts. The pieces were all carefully checked over by both museum teams to ensure that there was no damage in transit from Bejing. They were then moved to another area of the vault, awaiting transfer into their specially built display cases.

VIRGINIA BEACH -- Several tree servicing companies were in the Red Mill area of Virginia Beach Friday to clean up the mess left by quick moving storms Thursday.
Winds reached speeds of 75 mph and downed massive trees. Companies are working around the clock to clean up debris.
Randy Ford was dealing with the aftermath, sifting through his backyard for anything salvageable.
'I've lived here 28 years, been through many a hurricane, but never saw anything like this,' Ford said. 'All the limbs and everything just came down and three sections of the fence are just demolished.'
Residents recall seeing trees hunched to a 45 degree angle, hearing howling winds and watching out their windows as debris smashed through properties.
'The tree over here split. Two-thirds of it went right up against the house,' resident Ken Icenbice said.
This has been the busiest summer for Chris Kelley and his tree service crew. They have a list of properties still needing professional help from prior storms.
'Storms keep hitting up here and of course, people get scared of future stuff, so they want to get a lot of trimming done and taking trees down so they can avoid stuff like this,' Kelley said.
Workers say it could take up to a week to remove all the debris.
'I never want to see it again. When mother nature speaks, you better listen,' Ford said.

Agents will get access to health reform market
In addition to agents, the state is also training 20,000 certified enrollment counselors who will work with community-based organizations across the state to help Californians understand their options when trying to decide which plan to buy.
"We're using many channels to reach our target demographic, which is the more than 5 million Californians eligible to buy insurance through our exchange," Hicks said.
He said insurance agents will have their own Internet portal into the exchange, allowing them direct access for the clients they represent. Agents, he added, will continue to earn commissions on the plans they sell according to their existing agreements with insurance companies.
Covered California released a narrow set of rate information for its individual marketplace in May with seven companies offering a total of nine plans in San Diego County. On Aug. 1, the exchange also released information on small-business plans.

Edwards PlateauThe Edwards Plateau area includes 1.45 million acres known as the Granitic Central Basin in Llano and Mason Counties. The Balcones Escarpment forms the distinct boundary of the Edwards Plateau on its eastern and southern borders and outlines what is known as the Texas Hill Country.
The area is a deeply dissected, rapidly drained stony plain having broad, flat to undulating divides. Prior to modern settlement, vegetation was grassland or open savannah-type plains with tree or brushy species found along rocky slopes and stream bottoms.

Thinking of a 2 or 3 day tour on the Great River Trail this spring or summer. Anyone been on it? Curious to know how hilly it is.
I'm thinking this might be an easy enough route to give a couple of my best friends (not bikers) a taste of what unsupported touring could be like. Maybe they'll want to join me after that????

How often do you hear about an author finishing the first draft of his first book in 20 days, stumbling upon his editor on Facebook, and meeting her for the first time only eight months later, at the official launch of the book?
This is the story behind the creation of Knocked Up, a coming-of-age tale about six teenagers and their various misadventures by singer, screenplay writer and author Shaiju Mathew published by Magic Moments. The book was officially launched in Pune on September 26 and in Bangalore the next month.
"I met Shaiju on Facebook through a mutual friend and author, Aditya Kriplani. I was in Mumbai then and he in Pune," says the book's editor Jasmin Lord.
"We kept in touch constantly through mails and phone calls. He knew exactly what he wanted and we worked well together," says Lord.
Not only did the author meet his editor online, he built his entire team, which worked for his book, through networking and blogging sites. "In a sense, it was just the coming together of like-minded people, meeting over netcafe and working together towards a common goal," gushes Mathew.
Extensive promotions were done through networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. "Most of the world today is hooked onto these sites. Also it is a medium through which you can reach out to the right audience in just a few clicks. People in the entertainment industry use it all the time to promote their new movie or music release. So, I felt that I should try it too," says Mathew.
Web designer Shrijit Nair, whom he met on Facebook again, helped him create a website for the book. "Shaiju wanted something that would reflect his personality. He wanted to reach as many people as possible. So his website has a very informal look. It has a notepad, cell-phone, a cup of coffee all the things that he needs close to him while he works," says Nair. "Packaging it right plays a major role in a book's success. After all, these days jo dikhta hai wahi bikta hai", says Praveen Parashar, head of marketing, Talent Hatz Entertainment, a sister extension of Magic Moments, the publishing house.
Ask him what he thinks entails a good book and Mathew says, "Anything that finds a place in the reader's heart and strikes a chord within him." He believes a book is created through team effort and no one person can take sole credit for it. "Agreed, an author gives birth to an idea but once he finishes scripting he submits an uncut diamond, which is then shaped and polished by the editorial team," he says.
Mathew has also been offered a film deal based on his books. "There were many offers to turn the book into a movie or a series. But we've decided to co-produce it with some big banner to ensure we have control on the script and screenplay," he says.

Aliens: Colonial Marines
It doesn't improve the game that much.
But it definitely takes away the washed out look the game has. Although what they show is darker than mine. I'm not sure if they have changed settings themselves, but mine is a little brighter.
It doesn't improve the visuals that much, and I haven't been able to get AA to work, but at least it's something.
And on that note - This is the only game I know of where I can have five enemies standing together, I fire a grenade into them, and they all walk backward shaking their heads, and manage to recover to run straight back into battle. Wonderful.

the question is why waste any time trying to polish this turd?
[This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
That looks awful. Sharpening? Really? Also, oversaturation of colors and making the game darker won't make it look better. You're just seeing less bad graphics.
Don't even bother trying to make this game look good.
Karaduin posted...
He must enjoy the game somewhat. Why are you wasting you're time criticising someone for trying to improve a game they like and you think is a turd? You must think of turds a lot. Got one here for ya OPEN WIDE!
I'm not really that keen on it, to be honest. But I'm willing to play through the game until I reach the end. And if I can make that experience a little more bearable, and get rid of the washed out look the game did have previously, then I'll do it.
They should have realised when they opened this thread that this was optional. They didn't, and they reacted in the lowest possible way. If they want to be like that, and they want to be ungrateful, and not say "thank you, but I'll pass on this", let them be. It lets me know who to ignore in the future.
Either way, personally I'm happy with what this did to the game visually. It made it darker, the game isn't washed out anymore, and though it's still not a pretty picture it looked slightly better. The mere fact you can change the settings, if you want, or remove these files altogether if you're not happy, makes it worth a try just on the off chance it is worth while.
But you really can't make the gameplay better. This is the second time I've had a run in with an Alien that just wouldn't die. Very annoying.

To be honest, I don't think anything sort of a new texture pack will do.
This mod actually makes the low res textures stand out more.

Riverview Force Main Replacement Project
Environmental Services is planning a project on Highway 43 to replace an aging sewer main that carries wastewater from the Riverview Pump Station. The project will replace roughly 3,000 feet of failing sewer pipe along Highway 43 from the Riverview Pump Station south to SW Riverwood Road (see map). The pipe has experienced several failures in recent years, and this project will install a new pipe and reduce the potential for future leaks or breaks.
Project Schedule and Night Work
Construction begins June 7 and will take between four and six months to complete. Work will take place both during the day and night. Daytime work hours will be 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and nighttime work hours will be 8:00 p.m. – 5:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and on the occasional weekend. Crews will not be working during the morning and evening commutes. The project team will coordinate the traffic controls with other sewer and road projects in the area to minimize impacts on residents and commuters.
During work hours on Highway 43, the contractor will keep one travel lane open in each direction. There may be several nights when only one lane is open and flaggers will direct traffic through the work area. When crews cross the highway to connect the new pipe to the manhole on SW Riverwood Road, only one lane will be open and flaggers will be on site to direct traffic. Traffic onto Riverwood Road will be temporarily detoured, 24 hours per day, for up to one week. Travelers through the area should expect some delays during construction.
You may see construction materials stored on or near the road. The contractor will maintain access to driveways and residential streets at all times.
What to Expect During Construction
- Work hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. There will be occasional weekend work.
- Construction will create noise, vibration and dust and may disrupt normal neighborhood activity.
- Traffic control signs will be set up. The contractor maintains local access, but expect delays.
- On-street parking in or near the work area may be limited during construction hours.
- Equipment and materials are stored on nearby streets overnight.
- There may be periods of inactivity between construction phases.
- A city inspector is on-site during work hours and may be able to assist you with construction concerns. Inspectors typically wear a City of Portland safety vest and hard hat.
- Please stay clear of all construction activities and keep children and pets clear of all construction activities.
- Some tree trimming of branches that overhang the right-of-way will be conducted by professional arborists. Only branches that limit access of the construction teams will be trimmed.

|A New Strong Proactive Verifiable Secret Sharing Scheme with Unconditional Security
|Koneru, Priyanka, 1987-
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|In secret sharing scheme, the master secret and all the private shares (which are distributed by the dealer to the shareholders) are the two secrets which are to be maintained confidentially. In all the secret sharing schemes proposed till date, private shares are reused to reconstruct the master secret. But we proposed a new way of Proactive Secret Sharing Scheme in which, instead of renewing the private shares frequently at the beginning of each timeslot during the share renewal process, each time master secret is renewed. In this way private shares can be reused for a longer period of time and to construct different master secrets. In addition, after each renewing process, shareholders can work together to verify that their private shares are consistent without revealing private shares. We also proposed protocols to generate and renew master secret, authenticate public shares of the master secret, add or revoke shares and change threshold of the master secret. Thus an enhancement to Proactive Secret Sharing is proposed in this thesis and this unique feature simples the implementation of PSS as the change is to be made only to the master secret (central server) without effecting all private shares.

This question asks how to restrict for a whole server. I just want to do so for a single report. I found a code snippet but it doesn't provide any clues on how to implement:
foreach (RenderingExtension extension in this.reportViewer.LocalReport.ListRenderingExtensions()) {
if (extension.Name == "PDF") {
((Extension)(extension.GetType().GetField("m_serverExtension", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(extension))).Visible = false;
I can't see how to make the report reference this code upon loading. Does anyone know how I am supposed to make the report execute this code?
EDIT: Incidentally report access is through the SSRS Report Manager web app. We are, in the main, delighted with this product so wouldn't consider reinventing the wheel in order to implement a hack to produce what is, essentially a "would be nice" feature.
It still boggles the mind slightly that the report's available rendering options are not controllable at the report level. Ho hum.

Indian mackerel
|Indian mackerel
|Conservation status
Not evaluated (IUCN 3.1)
|Scientific classification
|R. kanagurta
|Binomial name
|Rastrelliger kanagurta
(Cuvier, 1816)
The Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) is a species of mackerel in the scombrid family (family Scombridae) of order Perciformes.[1] It is commonly found in the Indian and West Pacific oceans, and their surrounding seas. It is an important food fish and is commonly used in South and South-East Asian cuisine.
It is known by various names, such as 'Bangda' in Marathi, Aiyla(അയല, ഐല) in Malayalam, Aiyla Meen (அயிலா மீன்) in Tamil and 'Bangude' (ಬಂಗುಡೆ) in Tulu and Kannada.
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The Indian mackerel is found in warm shallow waters along the coasts of the Indian and Western Pacific oceans. Its range extends from the Red Sea and East Africa in the west to Indonesia in the east, and from China and the Ryukyu Islands in the north to Australia, Melanesia and Samoa in the south. It has also entered the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal.[2]
The body of the Indian mackerel is moderately deep, and the head is longer than the body depth. The maxilla are partly concealed, covered by the lacrimal bone, but extend till around the hind margin of the eye.[3]
These fish have thin dark longitudinal bands on the upper part of the body, which may be golden on fresh specimens. There is also a black spot on the body near the lower margin of the pectoral fin. Dorsal fins are yellowish with black tips, while the caudal and pectoral fins are yellowish. The remaining fins are dusky.[3]
Indian mackerel reach a maximum fork length of 35 centimetres (14 in), but are generally around 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in length.[2]
Habitat and diet[edit]
The Indian mackerel is generally found in shallow, coastal waters, where the surface water temperature is at least 17 °C (63 °F).[3] Adults of this species are found in coastal bays, harbours and deep lagoons. They are commonly found in turbid waters rich in plankton.[2]
Adult Indian mackerel feed on macroplankton including the larvae of shrimp and fish.[3]
Life history[edit]
The spawning season around India, which is in the northern hemisphere, is between March and September. Around Seychelles in the southern hemisphere, it is between September and the following March.[4]
Spawning occurs in batches. The eggs are laid in the water and are externally fertilized. The Indian mackerel do not guard their eggs, which are left to develop on their own.[5]
Juveniles feed on phytoplankton like diatoms and small zooplankton including cladocerans and ostracods. As they mature, their intestines shorten, and their diet changes to primarily include macroplankton such as the larvae of shrimp and fish.[3]
As food[edit]
Pla thu (Thai: ปลาทู) is a very important fish in Thai cuisine where it is sold after processing in the market with the head bent downwards, which gives it a characteristic shape. Pla thu is often eaten together with nam phrik kapi.[6] The name 'Pla thu' is mostly applied to the Shortbodied mackerel, Rastrelliger brachysoma, but often Indian mackerel are processed in the same way.
Called Bangude in Tulu, the fish is deep fried or pan fried with Rava or made in to a spicy curry called Bangude puli munchi.

"Just Enough Time to Lose Your Mind": An Interview with Andrew Combs
Andrew Combs' first full-length record, released late last year, flew under a lot of radars – including ours. But better late than never. Worried Man is an alt-country gem that'll hit fans of Justin Townes Earle and Pneumonia-era Whiskeytown in their musical sweet spot. At 26, the Texas-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter is still young, but his songwriting is mature beyond his years as he draws from a wide variety of influences ranging from Blaze Foley to Flannery O'Connor.
Combs is currently out for a brief ("sixteen days: just enough time to lose your mind," he jokes) tour with Caitlin Rose; we caught up with him outside of Washington DC for a brief interview.
I'm hearing a lot of different sounds on Worried Man from gritty blues to folk and pop. Who were you listening to while working on the material for this album?
I was all over the place for that record. My go-to guys will probably never change: Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and Kris Kristofferson. But I listened to a lot of Tony Joe White, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and a lot of Jackson Browne and the Eagles.
I also love Southern Gothic literature. Flannery O'Connor is one of my favorite writers, so some of that is on here, too.
There's a shift in sound from the Tennessee Time EP to Worried Man. How did that happen?
I think a lot of it had to do with the studio and the engineer we were working with. I don't know if "polished" is the right word, but things were more Nashville on Tennessee Time. I liked it, but I was looking for something different. I got together with Mike Odmark, who engineered and co-produced Worried Man with me.
For the most part, the band and I recorded it live in the studio. There were a handful of songs that I redid the vocals. We made the record over the course of six months because I didn't have any money. I kept my day job, working in a restaurant, and I would save up enough to cut two songs each month. So we recorded eleven or twelve songs over the course of six months, and then it took another six to eight months to master it. I had it for a long time before the record was released.
These days you're a staff writer for Razor & Tie. Has your songwriting process changed with the new job?
It enabled me to quit my day job, not so much the touring. All my heroes have been staff writers, so I figured I should try it, at least. I think my work has gotten better, just from the sole fact that I write more songs. The more songs you write, the better you'll be. And I've gotten into co-writing, because that's really Nashville and staff writer-ish, but I still write a lot by myself.
Tell me about the title track, which stops just short of a murder ballad. The character in the song ends up shooting a straying woman in the ankles so she can't dance with anyone else.
That one was pretty wild to write. I was in Austin at my cousin's house. I wanted to write that night and he didn't have any coffee, so I ended up taking far too many caffeine pills, which isn't really rock and roll. I don't know if you've ever taken too many caffeine pills, but you can really tweak out on 'em. I don't think I even touched the guitar; I just paced up and down their patio writing that song in my head. It was kind of a frightening time. I'm the farthest from a violent person, but I thought the song was pretty cool. I've always wanted to write something like that.
What's next for you? Are you working on new material?
I've got half an album written, maybe more. I'd like to at least start thinking about it in the fall. When I've got eleven songs that I feel are good enough to record, I'll go back in the studio. Right now, I've only got about six. It's tough to write on the road. I get a lot of ideas and save them until I get back and can indulge them. I need to get back to Nashville, hunker down, and do some writing.
