How to Become a Personal Security Guard: Career Roadmap
Learn how to become a personal security guard. Research the education and career requirements, licensure and experience required for starting a career as a personal security guard.
Do I Want to Be a Personal Security Guard?
Personal security guards, also known as body guards, protect people and property from criminal activities and threats. They may escort individuals to and from locations or monitor activity from a stationary position. In order to ensure that an area is safe, they may conduct surveillance or watch closed circuit TV monitors. Any time criminal activity occurs or a threat is imminent, security guards may contact local law enforcement for assistance. Potential danger is inherent in this occupation, and personal security guards must always be on the alert. Security guards must be in good physical shape to effectively carry out their duties.
Job Requirements
A high school diploma is the minimum educational requirement to become a security guard, and a state license is necessary in most states. Security guards who carry a firearm will need additional training and registration. Typically, body guards and security guards are held to the same licensure standards. The table below includes the requirements to become a security guard.
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|High school diploma**
|Licensure requirements vary by state, commonly including security guard and firearm licensure***; certification is also available*
|On-the-job training is required*
|Key Skills
|Observation skills, strong decision-making and good judgment**
|Additional Requirements
|Physical strength to handle confrontational situations*

Step 1: Prepare for Security Guard Licensure
Many states require personal security guards to be licensed, and classroom training may be required as part of the licensing process. The classroom training may last anywhere from 8-16 hours, and individuals will also be expected to participate in field training. Topics like law enforcement communications, use of force, report writing, evidence handling and crime prevention are all addressed in the training.
Step 2: Obtain the Proper Licensure
In some cases, a security guard will not need to obtain a specific license, but a security guard license is require in many states. This license is usually granted upon passing an examination, but exact requirements will vary. Additionally, if a personal security guard is required to carry a firearm, a firearm permit or license will be required.
Step 3: Consider Voluntary Certification
Organizations such as ASIS International offers voluntary certifications and classes for security guards. The certifications, including the Certified Protection Professional and the Physical Security Professional, are not associated in any way with the state licensing process. However, certification may improve a security guard's employment prospects.
Step 4: Look for Employment
Security guards can obtain employment with any number of organizations, individuals and businesses. While the overall objectives will be similar, the specific duties can vary. Personal security guards could be assigned to protect people or property and make work individually or with a group of other guards. Background checks are commonly required for this position. The screening process includes a fingerprint check, drug test, criminal background check and reference verification. Any outstanding issue on one's criminal record can negatively affect employment chances.
Step 5: Maintain the Skills Needed for this Position
Personal security guards need to maintain excellent endurance and athleticism to meet the demands of this job. Danger can strike at any moment, so a personal security guard needs to be able react quickly and to the best of his or her ability. Maintaining keen observation skills and noticing important details can help personal security guards prevent dangerous scenarios before they occur. In some cases, security guards will need to complete continuing education requirements to maintain state license. This ensures skills are up-to-date and knowledge of new laws and policies are understood.

I would like to use mine as a back up gun for hunting. m24shooter11-29-2010, 18:46If you go check the Havlin Sales site I believe that they have what you're looking for or something close in the Clearance Barrels section. faceplant11-29-2010, 19:35Thanks for the reply. They do have a 24in cyl bore barrel. Not sure how it would work for birds. m24shooter11-29-2010, 19:58One other option would be an 835 barrel if you have the six shot 18.5" 590A1. The 835 barrels will work on those. faceplant11-29-2010, 23:18Its the 8 shot. Thanks for the help. That was a good website to bookmark. mdehoogh12-01-2010, 13:34One other option would be an 835 barrel if you have the six shot 18.5" 590A1. The 835 barrels will work on those. Doesn't the 835 have a 3.5" chamber? Would the barrel fit on the 3" chamber of a 590? m24shooter12-01-2010, 15:12The chamber is the barrel. The ejection port is longer (as is the receiver to accomodate it) on the 835. You could still fire the 3.5" rounds from what I understand with an 835 barrel on an 590A1 receiver, but the ejection port may be too short to reliably eject the shell after firing. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

1967-03-22 Muhammad Ali w co 7 (15) Zora Folley, Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, NYC, New York, USA - WORLD
1967-03-22 Muhammad Ali w co 7 (15) Zora Folley, Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, NYC, New York, USA - WORLD. Referee: John LoBianco. Making a good start, Folley (202½) took the opening two rounds while Ali (211½) appeared content to see what his challenger had to offer. By the third, Ali, warming to the task, was beating Folley to the punch. The fourth round saw Ali go up a gear, and after a left-right to Folley's head dropped the latter for the mandatory 'eight' count many believed he would end the contest quickly. However, it was Folley who was throwing the harder punches in the fifth and sixth sessions despite being outscored. Although Folley continued in the same vein into the seventh, with Ali beginning to pick up the pace a right to the jaw put the former down to be counted out at 1.48 of the round.
In April 1967, Ali forfeited his title in the eyes of the WBA and NYSAC, who suspended him after he refused to serve in the US Army, fighting in Vietnam, due to his religious beliefs as a Muslim. While the WBC said they would continue to support Ali on the grounds that he had not violated any boxing rules, the WBA and the NYSAC both inferred that Ali's refusal to enter the army was detrimental to the best interests of boxing.
While Ali faced a possible conviction which could bring a five-year prison sentence and a large fine or both, a series of eliminators got underway to determine a new champion. The WBA eventually announced that eight men - Thad Spencer, Jimmy Ellis, Oscar Bonavena, Jerry Quarry, Ernie Terrell, Leotis Martin, Karl Mildenberger and Floyd Patterson - would compete despite the WBC continuing to support Ali until 6 March 1968.
Although the WBA had earlier named Joe Frazier for their tournament he decided not to enter, being supported by the NYSAC who failed to recognise what the WBA were doing as the best means of finding the champion. Frazier then met George Chuvalo (w rsc 4 at Madison Square Garden on 19 July) in a 12-round eliminator sanctioned by the NYSAC.
The WBA quarter-finals got underway with Spencer (w pts 12 Terrell at the Astrodome, Houston, Texas on 5 August), Ellis (w rsc 9 Martin on 5 August at the Astrodome, Houston), Bonavena (w pts 12 Mildenberger at the Bicycle Stadium, Frankfurt, Germany on 16 September) and Quarry (w pts 12 Patterson at the Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles, California on 28 October) qualifying. The semi-final stage saw Ellis (w pts 12 Bonavena at the Freedom Hall, Louisville, Kentucky on 2 December) and Quarry (w rsc 12 Spencer at The Arena, Oakland, California on 3 February 1968) winning their way through to the final.
Meanwhile, Frazier was matched to contest the NYSAC version of the title against another former amateur star, Buster Mathis, who had run up 23 victories against no one of any significance since turning pro. Regardless of this apparent lack of substance, other States who joined forces with the NYSAC to recognise the winner of Frazier v Mathis as the world champion were Massachusetts, Maine and Illinois, the last two breaking ranks with the WBA in doing so.

tennis - park style
we live in a TV culture. people play like they see on TV... 20 years ago every park player SV, today every1 stay at baseline, while game has really not changed much (although much progress has been made at the pros).
what are the tennis strategies/styles/shot combinations that are effective in the parks, but not in the pros?
I will start with 2:
1. moonball to the bh and charge the net
2. side spin / short dinks to the service box corners and charge the net.
what else?
notice that this is for park tennis only.... big serve + big fh doesn't count here.
1. opponent's usually lob
2. you have no time to cover net and get into position, susceptible to low chips and lobs.
3. no ONE strategy works against every player.
As much as some like to argue otherwise, I think pushing is a strategy, and probably the single most effective strategy in the "parks." It works 90% of the time, every time...
As for shot combinations, I'd say that anything that breaks up rhythm (change of pace & spins) is pretty common and often effective.
I would disagree that one cannot find a player with a big serve or forehand, given the lack of organization by playing ability in a park setting.
I prefer tennis gangnam style
what i meant was - stuff used by pros don't count, such as big serve + big fh.
in other words, this thread is dedicated to the stuff that park players come up to win, but stuff you do not see in pro games.
Throwing junk at your opponent is an effective strategy at the park levels. Also having a decent serve (not necessarily big) i.e. consistent, no double-faulting.
Everyone wants to play pretty, but let's face it... at the parks it's ugly.
If you mean 3.0 and below by "parks", the best strategy is to get the ball in court 3 or 4 times in a row. Consistency is way more important than strategy.
I would work on developing a basic topspin FH, because if you can do this you can begin to hit the ball harder and still maintain consistency. Once you have this shot, hit it CC until you get a short ball and then hit it DTL.
Spin and flat depends on the incoming ball.
My friend used to have fun hitting short, spinny balls. Then, once I adapted to attack these shorter balls and got better at the net, it was no longer a winning strategy. He begun to moonball nearly every ball... after much struggle, I also adapted to the moonballs and it, again, no longer was an efficient strategy.
All you have to do is work out the strokes, face the situations and evolve as a player to counter them. I knew it was possible to deal with these, I knew I had to work and I did... it paid off. Now, he changed and plays to keep me off the court. The style evolves, but the fun is always there.
ok beautiful.... but reading comprehension.... looking for park specific stuff here.
not saying big serve/big fh doesnt exist in parks.
@ 3.0
In doubles...playing 2 back and just keeping the point alive till the other team misses.
Super high lobs hoping they flub the overhead
hitting to the back hand side as your only target
Assuming you have better overall control that your opponent, running them from side to side at every opportunity is pretty much guaranteed to be a match winner.
Squeezing the court on your opponent... calling all line shots "out" works at the park, but not in the pros. Now that I think about it, it works in USTA too.
funny you post these...
although i had that 'style' in mind when i came up with the thread, i am not a fan of this guy..... seems to be just a knock of MC Hammer.
Hammer is the real deal
Hit every shot with an eastern forehand grip
Anyway, to the point, my favorite shot combo against similarly challenged PPPs (although some have actually had lessons, they almost never practice) is to hit a deep looping topspin shot that bounces about head high followed by a deep looping flat or undercut shot that sort of dies after it hits the court. Messes them up every time I do this, but I have to take care to not overuse it lest they develop the ability to deal with it more effectively than they do.
Let's see, what else? Well I do a lot of your #2, while varying the length of the shot. That is, undercut sidespinny shots that barely clear the net and land somewhere beyond the service line near to the sideline. Those are fave go to shots in almost any situation. Hit a lot of short ones to the service box corners also.
And of course the drop volley, which is actually just a shanked volley. Mainly because it's pretty much the only kind of volley that I can hit. Very difficult for the opponent to anticipate because I'm actually trying to make solid contact with the ball.

As Galeano tells it, books use him as a surrogate mother from which to fall into the world's lap. When they are ready "they knock at the door asking to get out," he says, rubbing his hand against his forehead. And while these creatures wend their way through his system, he walks and dreams in his hometown of Montevideo, a "human scale" city near the sea, which seems "prehistoric" because there are still "more encounters among people rather than among machines."
Although he shuns the application of the term Magical Marxism to his work today (it's more like magical democratic socialism), the blend of fictional forms, autobiography, and radical social critique remains fresh for readers who yearn to find literary works with a political compass. This is Galeanotender, dreamy, indignant, and astute. "I try to write in a feel-thinking way," he says, "to understand reality deeply in order to help change it, not just with the head, but with the heart." To read him is to step full- body through his story windows, bypassing the potholes in the brain, walking and breathing, even as bruises flicker ahead.

Narendra Modi has again created a buzz in social media platforms. Both Facebook and Twitter are abuzz as BJP launched the Urdu version of the Gujarat chief minister and the prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi's official website.
The portal was launched in Mumbai by veteran Bollywood script writer Salim Khan and Bollywood actor Salman Khan's father, at his residence on 16th April.
Mr. Zafar Sareshwala, a noted Muslim businessman from Gujarat, and a known Modi supporter, was present on the occasion.
The website is divided into nine columns and it covers numerous aspects related to Modi, including his biography, achievements, governance strategy, his messages to the nation and his self-proclaimed development in the state of Gujarat.
The person who wrote the website seems to be a very qualified Urdu writer, as he has used his linguistic skills to present a worthy sketch of Modi's life. The articles on the website use beautiful words, attractive imagery along with reasonable and philosophical metaphors.
An ornamental language can be seen in many of the articles there. But interestingly, the writer could not resist himself from giving the title of "Aam Aadmi" (a common man) to Modi's biographical sketch, a title that every party had adopted for its campaign in the on-going Lok Sabha elections.
In sharp contrast to the Hindutva agenda and the construction of the Ram Mandir, which are core BJP issues, the Urdu website has pleasant pictures of Muslim men with the traditional cap and flowing religious beards on their faces, while, the women are attired in complete burqa.
The men seem happy, shaking hands with and giving a warm hug to Modi.
Though the currently on-going election manifesto of the BJP promises to bring in the uniform civil code in the country which shall surely not be acceptable to all the citizens due to a huge diversity in thoughts and practices, the website labels Modi a man to dream of a 'united India with its pristine diverse religious and cultural aspects' and calls the citizens to unite against social, political and other forms of injustice.
It puts forth and agenda of development, employment, prosperity and the volatility of the country and exhorts the people to join hands in the mission. It presents Mr. Modi as a man who weaves a dream of a prosperous country where every living being feels happy and satisfied.
In his messages to the nation,Modi speaks on education, society, politics, and sports and so on. He also articulates highly philosophical and thought provoking ideas, making him a man of great intellect and wisdom. But as his political instinct goes, he is unable to resist himself from criticizing the Congress, the party currently in power.
According to the website, the portal has been launched in Urdu as part of the "focused initiatives" of Modi at "reaching across to a cross section of people". The website further mentions the launch as an "initiative" to put across Modi's views to "people across the border".
As of now, Narendra Modi's website is currently available in eleven regional languages (Gujarati, Hindi, Sanskrit, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Punjabi and Assamese and Odia) and four foreign languages (Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish), along with English.
Better late than never, Narendra Modi's website is now in Urdu, a widely spoken and understood language of the country as well.
Salim Khan claims that Urdu is one of the most beautiful languages and he is in love with it. Moreover, he is friend of Modi. This was the reason why he not only suggested Modi to launch the Urdu version of his website, but also did it at his own residence. He also adds that this is not a strategy to secure the votes from the minority, especially Muslim masses.
But this initiative was taken at the time when the whole country is engaged in the election, considered as a watershed in Indian politics, due to emergence of a seemingly volatile common-men front, giving the country the third option, as well as Modi's prime ministerial candidature. Can we know "Why"?

"At the present time, the FDA does not have the authority to regulate E-Cigarettes and some have characterized it frankly as the wild wild west," says Dr. Margaret Hamburg, FDA Commissioner. And certainly we feel that at the present time it is 'let the buyer beware.'"
The FDA's proposed regulations would put E-Cigarettes in the same class as tobacco which would mean prohibiting sales to anyone under 18, requiring clear health warning labels and prohibiting vending machine sales.
A recent study from the Centers for Disease Control shows a surge in the number of liquid nicotine poisoning from E-Cigarettes. The report reveals that calls to poison control centers about E-Cigarettes have gone up from about one call a month from September 2010 to more than 200 as of this February.
U.S. Senator Mark Pryor is also part of the push to keep E-Cigs out of the hands of children. On Thursday, he issued a new response to the FDA's latest call to action.
Over the past month, Pryor has called on the FDA to take action to protect Arkansas children from liquid nicotine poisoning. Liquid nicotine vials are used to refill e-cigarettes and often come in colorful packaging and flavors ranging from chocolate to Scooby Snacks.
"As I've said from the beginning, I believe child-proof packaging is a common-sense measure we should take to address this dangerous problem and prevent the staggering increase of liquid nicotine poisoning cases in our young children. As Chairman of the Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, I look forward to sitting down with the FDA and industry leaders in the coming days to tackle this problem head on and reach a responsible solution that will keep our kids safe."
In the meantime, local E-Cig sellers likeNext Vapor Spot in Fayetteville say they're behind the federal push for more regulations on liquid nicotine.
"Honestly, I hope they do regulate the liquid," says store manager Anthony Keith. "The e-liquid needs to be regulated, it needs to be clean and they need to make sure everything that's in there is safe. It's illegal to buy cigarettes so it just makes sense to be of age to do that. It's not a product with any kind of regulation on it right now. So we are one of the few where you do have to be 18 to buy from us."
It could take a year or longer for the FDA's initial rules to take effect. One important note though, they do not ban flavored E-Cigarettes, which many believe are only meant to attract young people. And they do not ban online sales or TV commercials.

Small Business Loan Programs Receive Significant Boost
The SBA's flagship 7(a) loan guarantee program was boosted to a $16 billion level, $3.5 billion above what the program provided last fiscal year, when a record $12.55 billion in financing was made to small business. Additionally, the government loan guarantee increased from $1 million to $1.5 million and the program will now operate without a congressional appropriation or at zero subsidy, meaning that the program will be self-supported through modest fees paid by lenders and borrowers.
An additional enhancement to the 7(a) program was Congress' action to make the popular SBAExpress program permanent, raising the maximum loan size to $350,000 with a 50 percent
government guarantee.
"I would like to thank Senator Frist, Speaker Hastert and Small Business Committee Chairs Snowe and Manzullo, and our banking partners for working with the administration to strengthen the 7(a) program," said SBA Administrator Hector V. Barreto. "This is an important win for small businesses and will ensure long term stability to the program."
Congressional action included expanding the agency's 504 loan program up to the $5 billion level, and raising the maximum loan size for manufacturers to $4 million. The 504 loans may be used for the purchase of real estate, buildings and machinery.
Other highlights in the bill include $3.250 billion for SBIC debenture financing and funding for the microloan and HUBZone programs. The SBA's disaster program, instrumental in the assistance provided after the rash of hurricanes this past summer, previously received supplemental funding.
In the area of entrepreneurial development, the Small Business Development, SCORE and Women's Business Centers were reauthorized and funded at the same levels as last year. The bill also provides funding for the veterans and Native Americans programs.
"The SBA had a record breaking year in the number of loans and technical assistance it provided to entrepreneurs last year and we're poised to do even better this year, particularly in our loan programs,"
Administrator Barreto said. "Under President Bush's leadership, we will continue to move in a direction of more efficient and effective delivery of our products and services. In the long term this is good for the American taxpayer and for small businesses."

We don't recommend going to an actual tanning salon since tanning lamps don't prevent exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays. Plus, the thought of lying down on a plastic bed of bulbs teeming with germs is enough to make us swear off a golden glow for good.
Fortunately, there are other ways to achieve a radiant look. Most sunless-tanning products are safe and easy to use, without turning you into a George Hamilton doppelganger. With so many options to choose from, we decided to try a few and share our results.
Formerly sold only at high-end shops, the famed St. Tropez self-tanning product line is now available to the masses at Bath & Body Works and we couldn't wait to try the Whipped Bronze Self-Tanning Mousse ($24 for 8 oz bottle). We were so eager, in fact, that we forgot to carefully read the directions. Apparently, there is a reason the bottle warns users to wash hands THOROUGHLY with a scrub brush after application; our palms looked like we fell into a mud pit. The mousse dries in 60 seconds, making it impossible to get to the sink to scour your hands before the color sets. Though for the next two days our bodies (and palms!) were a beautiful bronze, we don't recommend this product for amateurs, those with a long walk to the faucet, or anyone without a scrub brush.
Since we weren't having much luck with our first foray into self-application, we decided to seek professional help at Gloss Day Spa. Their Body Bronzing treatment ($65) uses the California Tan airbrushing system to create a streak-free self-tan. At first we were put off by the thought of standing in a disposable paper thong with someone shooting us at close range with an airbrush gun. But, for the sake of our vanity, we succumbed, and less than five minutes later we left Gloss with a perfect golden glow. No smell. No streaks. The only drawbacks are that you can't wear your bra home (because it leaves tan lines) or wash any part of your body for 24 hours. Despite these caveats, we happily jiggled our bronze bodies back to the office. Three days later, we still had a fresh glow.
Once you've achieved your faux tan, you must maintain it. We're currently using MAC Bronzing Powder ($18.50), which comes in six shadesranging from Refined Golden to Matte Bronzethat work well with all skin types. A great tip we picked up from Romero Jennings, a senior artist for MAC Cosmetics, is to make sure to apply the powder evenly to forehead, cheek bones, bridge of the nose, base of the chin, and neck using a large fluffy brush (we love MAC goat hair brush #168, $30). For oily skin he suggests dabbing the area with powder or blotting papers before applying the bronzer to avoid dark splotches on the face.
So dear readers, go faux and tell everyone you just got back from St. Barts. We won't reveal your secret.

Voices From the Conference
"I think [pessimism about the state of the country] has absolutely nothing to do with the current cyclical state of the economy. It's not our budget deficit. It's not China. It's our education deficit. You can't be 20th in the world in every field and be a competitive economy. We're a declining economic power. And, I think, you should be worried about it. And the chances of things getting better, as opposed to worse, are limited by our dysfunctional government and ugly political dynamics."

Hire, Philippe de la
BornParis, France, 1640
DiedParis, France, 21 April 1718
Philippe de la Hire was a mathematician, an observational astronomer, and a key figure in the Académie royale des sciences. La Hire was the eldest child of Laurent de la Hire, peintre ordinaire du roiand professor at the Académie royale de peinture, and Marguerite Coquin. Laurent was a well-known artist whose patrons included Cardinal Richelieu. Laurent and his wife were well off financially – they owned several properties in Paris – and their residence was frequented by leading figures from the worlds of the visual arts and the mathematical sciences. The geometer Gérard Desargues was one of Laurent's closest friends. Laurent intended Philippe also to be a painter, and to that end educated him personally. Philippe's study of geometry was assisted by Desargues, who probably introduced him to projective geometry. Laurent, who admired the Venetian masters, urged Philippe to go to Venice, which he did ...

Differences of opinion will be sorted out through discussions, says chief
Board reviews arrangements for Makaravilakku
Appointments to be made after festival
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The differences of opinion among the members and the president of the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) have been sorted out and the Board would function in a united manner, said TDB president C.K. Guptan.
Briefing reporters after a marathon meeting of the Board here on Thursday, Mr. Guptan, in the presence of members K. Narayanan and P.K. Sumathykutty Amma, said the differences of opinion among them would be sorted out through discussions. "We will identify areas where we can work together. We are not for a confrontation," Mr. Guptan said.
The Kerala High Court had directed the Board to hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss the arrangements for the Makaravilakku festival at Sabarimala and also other important issues pertaining to the routine functions of the Board. Appointments to the posts of the Board secretary, Thiruvabharanam commissioner and other posts will be made after the festival. As per the suggestions of the Justice Paripoornan Commission, seniority and experience alone will not be the criteria for promoting Board officers to such posts. Their output and performance too will be evaluated by the board. This will be made applicable for other posts too. Senior officers have been deputed for the smooth conduct of the 'Thiruvabharanam procession.' Restrictions on the sale of 'aravana' will be relaxed and each pilgrim will be given six to eight cans of 'aravana.' If needed, it could be increased up to 10 cans, he said.
The Board has decided to probe the alleged irregularities in the store where materials are stocked for preparing 'appam' in Sabarimala. Exhaustive arrangements have been made for providing all facilities to the pilgrims. The Board had reviewed the situation well before the pilgrim season began. However, the heavy rush of pilgrims had led to certain lapses.

Soon, you won't have to know a foreign language to speak to someone in another country in real time. A new breakthrough app, called Skype Translator, has been developed by Microsoft researchers and engineers.
The app was demonstrated Tuesday during a talk by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella at the Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. During Nadella's conversation with Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg of the Re/code tech website, Nadella asked Gurdeep Pall to join him on stage. Pall, Microsoft's corporate vice president of Skype and Lync, shared the Skype Translator app publicly, with Pall speaking in English with German-speaking Microsoft's Diana Heinrichs.
Skype Translator will be available as beta for Windows 8.1 before the end of the year.
To learn more about this exciting development and app, read this feature story from Microsoft Research.

Andrew is the newest member of the team and is already making his mark with his insightful & cutting edge reporting on the latest news in the personal finance arena.
With the end of term and start of the holiday season, airports and airlines have had a busy weekend with Thompson and First Choice alone expecting to handle around 46,000 customers.
Airlines do appear to be busy with Monarch reporting a 24% rise in passenger numbers with 626,185 travelling in June 2012 compared with 506,321 in June 2011.
BA/Iberia reported a 5.8% increase in passenger numbers carried in Europe in the same period.
Thompson note an increase in the number of customers opting for 7 night holidays, particularly among those booking last minute where 67% of bookings were for one week.
The Balearic Islands, Turkey, Cape Verde and Mexico have maintained their popularity with Greece, Portugal, Fuerteventura and Florida performing strongly too.
They also report sales for Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco have recovered well now that the political turmoil appears to have settled down.
If you are thinking of booking a last minute holiday, it's normally cheaper to hire from the UK using our comparison site rather than with the holiday company or at the resort. If you've already booked a hire car, do check the terms and conditions of the car hire excess before you go. If you feel you'd like more cover, you can also take advantage of our competitive car hire excess policies.

Bagasse, the residual sugarcane fibers after sugar extraction, is a renewable resource with a variety of different uses. The word itself stems from the French and Spanish words for "trash" or "refuse," and has since evolved to refer to residues from any processed plant materials, but is most often used in reference to sugarcane remnants.
Although bagasse only was discovered as a sustainable material in the late eighties, it has since grown in versatility and popularity.
Read more about 'bagasse'
The first renewable use of bagasse was as fuel. In economies where the cost of oil, natural gas, and electricity are high, bagasse became an inexpensive, somewhat sustainable form of fuel.
The negative environmental effects of burning bagasse are moderate,with the most significant pollutants being particulate matter and ash. Bagasse burns less sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) than conventional fossil fuels since it contains lower levels of both sulfur and nitrogen.
Often, the bagasse is used to fuel sugar mills. The amount of carbon dioxide released by begasse is equal to the amount absorbed by the mill, making the process of cogeneration greenhouse gas-neutral. Research is currently being done to find a cost and time efficient method of converting bagasse into ethanol.
Bagasse is also used as a type of paper. In contrast to wood, it releases less greenhouse gases, minimizes deforestation, and uses less transportation energy (since the bagasse is already found in production plants). In addition, less bleaching and chemical treatment is needed for bagasse paper.
In some South American countries, almost 20% of paper manufactured is made from bagasse. The paper is utilized for such things as disposable coffee cups, pressed building board, acoustical tile, and other construction materials, to name a few.
A more recent use of bagasse is for oil absorbency. Bagasse is a natural absorbent, especially when reinforced with ammonia and microbes. Some researchers believe that bagasse could be used to clean up areas of the BP Gulf oil spill, by spreading the fibers on top of the water like a mat. Bagasse can absorb the same amount of oil whether it is wet or dry, and it is predicted that within the first 90 days of using the material, some 98% of the oil could be absorbed. Furthermore, the bagasse actually changes the chemistry of the crude oil once it is absorbed, to become a self-composting, soil like substance.
Bagasse use as a renewable resource instead of just sugarcane refuse is growing rapidly. While in 1985 21 sugar factories were in production, only 14 remained by the year 2000. The introduction of bagasse as a versatile material is boosting the sugar industry as well as conserving wood and minimizing carbon emissions.

Control backlight for GeForce FX Go 5200
I would like to turn off my laptop LCD backlight when I shut the lid, in particular when working in the office connected to an external screen (the laptop gets very hot and previous experience with a Dell Inspiron has shown turning off the backlight makes all the difference).
I am using an Dell Inspiron 5150 with GeForce FX Go 5200, running Gentoo linux with vanilla kernel 2.6.7, xorg-x11-6.7.0, and the nvidia module from 1.0-6111.
Just for interest when I run:
xset dpms force off
It blanks the screen but does not turn off the backlight. (Note that I am not really wanting dpms becuase I want the internal panel off but the external display on.) My previous laptop had an ATI GPU and I could used the "radeontool" package to control the LCD. Does something like this exist for the linux nvidia cards so that the backlight can be controlled?
Re: Control backlight for GeForce FX Go 5200
When you switch displays with Fn+F8 you can select what you want on and what you want off, I mean, just press Fn+F8 until LCD is off and external monitor is on.
Re: Control backlight for GeForce FX Go 5200
Thanks for your reply anyway... does anyone have a solution to this?

HOUSTON, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a paper published in the most recent issue of Current Gastroenterology Reports, Drs. Norman L. Sussman, Brendan M. McGuire and James H. Kelly describe the need and requirements for a successful liver assist device. "There are currently three times as many patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation as there are organs available and few ways to stabilize them if they enter an acute phase of their disease," said Kelly, CEO of Stem Cell Innovations, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: SCLL).
This second generation device, based on the PluriCells, "combines the safety of primary hepatocytes (normal liver cells) with the standardization of a cell line," continued Kelly. "We're building on what we learned from our earlier device which utilizes the C3A cells that form the basis of Stem Cell Innovations' ACTIVTox(R) drug discovery products. We are one of the few companies that can approach this problem from both sides: from the stem cell and from the adult liver cell. We are using our PluriCell(TM) system to understand the requirements of the liver stem cell and our ACTIVTox system to understand the requirements of the mature cell."
Liver disease is a serious problem in the United States and worldwide. There are about 6,500 liver transplantations performed each year in the US, with about 16,000 on the waiting list, about 1,800 of whom will die each year without receiving an organ. A liver assist device would be expected to first find use in such acute cases but could be used more widely as experience grows.

Bangkok at another crossroads
Publication Date : 02-03-2014
Despite everything that has happened, including violence and tragic deaths, there is still no sign of a solution.
Eric "Slowhand" Clapton's scheduled performance on Sunday night at Bangkok's Impact Arena has been cancelled, as yet another indication of the city's growing political turmoil.
The guitar icon's "Live in Bangkok 2014" event was supposed to be part of his final world tour. Instead, refunds are now being handed out to fans of the music legend.
The increasing breadth and depth of Bangkok's political crisis have other no less telling and decisive indicators. Groups and individuals actively pushing to topple Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, or stubbornly pressing to keep her in office, are hurtling towards a precipice. Blood has already been spilt with machine guns and grenades, with the threat of worse to come in an ultimate showdown.
It is often said that despite the military coups and other jolts to Thailand's body politic, life and business carry on as usual. But although street protests since November have affected only a few roads in Bangkok, such easy-going assumptions could soon change drastically.
The raucous, sometimes violent protests have been gathering momentum against a government seen to be manipulated by former premier and convicted fugitive Thaksin Shinawatra. In recent days, that momentum against younger sister Yingluck's government has vividly approached critical mass.
The chief reason is what amounts to tectonic shifts in the sentiments, perceptions and ultimately loyalties of key groups in society. Although these shifts are still not immediate "wins" for the government's opponents, they signal a worrying trend for the Pheu Thai party-led governing coalition.
Not so very long ago, certain groups and institutions could be said to be sympathetic to the Shinawatra camp despite a supposed neutrality. These include the police, the National Counter-Corruption Commission (NCCC), the rice-farming community in the northern provinces and banks.
Thaksin had been a policeman before he went into business. His years in the force saw him cultivating senior commanders such that while the military was identified with his opponents, the police was seen as Thaksin-friendly.
However, that perception may be losing steam in some quarters lately. With civil order in public places becoming a more prominent priority, elements in the force more amenable to non-partisanship are coming to the fore.
The NCCC has also had the image, if not also the substance, of being sympathetic to the Shinawatras. Typically the Pheu Thai government or its opponents would accuse the NCCC of being biased when it acts against those in one camp or the other.
In a move that surprised some, the NCCC last Tuesday alleged that Yingluck had acted improperly in the government's rice subsidy scheme. Not only is the scheme a pillar of Pheu Thai support, the NCCC charge made Yingluck liable to impeachment.
Many in the rice-farming community in the north, Thaksin's political stronghold, have also been alienated by the government' failure to honour its pledge of paying them handsomely for their produce.
While it was once easy to see these farmers and Thaksin's Red Shirt supporters as virtually being one and the same, that no longer applies. Many of these farmers have descended on Bangkok to join anti-government demonstrators.
Related to this Shinawatra meltdown is the reduced hospitability of banks. While the banking community had once readily extended credits to operations in the family name, particularly with a Shinawatra in office as a fellow corporate chief, that, too, has changed.
So the government's cash flow has become a problem, resulting in the inability to pay off the farmers as promised. The banks are being sticky, while the contract to sell the rice to China has fallen apart after Beijing balked at the implications of the corruption probe.
As hard-nosed businesses, banks are particularly edgy when doubts about the government's future begin to swirl.
Some of the partisan sympathies of these institutions seem to have evaporated, if only from an infusion of impartiality. But it is enough for the incumbents to lose pivotal support, for their opponents to leverage on that to begin gaining the upper hand.
The result is a government effectively under siege, or at least with reasons for feeling so. Its opponents among the protesters have also run out of ideas, having failed to unseat the government despite all their hopes, determination and efforts.
In the depths of such frustration, violence has moved up a notch or two. Both military-grade weapons and homemade bombs and firearms have now killed several men, women and children. As things teeter towards the edge, foreign experts in conflict resolution have flown into town to give their two cents' worth on what everyone should do. If only anyone engaged in the political fighting is doing any listening.
Among the recommendations aired is the need for dialogue. But even as that thought was uttered, representatives from the government and the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) protest movement concluded round one of their secret talks. Not that it meant anything on the streets or in the corridors of power, however. The delegates on both sides lacked the authority to make any real deals.
The upside is that at least there had been some talking. The downside and everything else amounted to not knowing where the chat could now go, if anywhere, including whether there would be a round two.
As things stand, little room exists for thinking that peace would break out anytime soon – or at all. Both sides are not only stuck with their insistent demands, they seem to have enlarged them.
The Yingluck government reportedly still wants to have an amnesty for Thaksin to ensure his "safe" return, immune from his jail conviction and further prosecution and persecution. Its shopping list would also include freely doing business, and politics, as usual.
However, these two objectives are what the PDRC has dedicated itself against. It wants the removal of the Prime Minister and all her Cabinet ministers on corruption charges, plus a ban on all Shinawatras from holding high public office.
Those objectives are similarly unacceptable to the government, and barely if at all realisable. For a start, not only must the entire Cabinet be corrupt, which the PDRC only presumes, there also needs to be sufficient evidence of corruption applicable in a court to charge and convict them on.
Both sides are still locked in rhetorical declarations and unsubstantiated claims, when the solutions they need have to go well beyond these.
Meanwhile, foreign diplomatic missions in Bangkok will continue to issue travel advisories against casual visits, tourism figures will fall further and the economy generally will remain uninspiring.
Bangkok is at another crossroads, with everything to play for and to lose. Enlightened leadership is needed, but the leaders are too busy fighting each other to bother with being enlightened. As Clapton would say (in the song Crossroads), "And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down."

About GPS Cycle Computers
GPS receivers are now made waterproof, lightweight and small enough to fit on a bike easily. There are 2 basic choices to take on your bike: a GPS unit designed primarily for navigation with a dedicated bike mount, particularly suitable for cycle touring and finding your way in unfamiliar territory, like the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx; or a dedicated bike computer that uses GPS to track your training routes and provide detailed analysis of your workout like the Edge 305, with more limited navigation capabilities. Most units come with only very basic maps installed and you may need to purchase more detailed maps for your area to be loaded onto the unit for navigation.
All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.

Bike Mount
I do own a 500,so i'd like to know if i don't have to get bike mounts for all my 3 bikes,if i was to buy this new Garmin 510 cyclocomputer.
Thank you
team bundle
What is in the box of Edge 510 Team Garmin Bundle?
The only thing I purchased extra with this was a silicon case to give it a little protection and a clear screen protector.
No silicon case included.
- Edge 510 computer
- Mounts (standard and out-front)
- Premium heart rate monitor
- Speed/cadence sensor
- USB cable
- UK AC charger
- Tether
- Manual
All other items such as cases etc are optional extras which can be purchased.
Compatibility with Garmin Edge 500
If so, in particular can I purchase the Team Garmin edition of the head unit separately or do I have to purchase it as a bundle?
So far as I know you can't purchase the team Garmin edition head piece on it's own, you will have to buy the bundle. But the standard black head piece is available on its own.
Unfortunately Garmin only made the Team Edition 510 available as a bundle product so you can't buy the unit by itself.
Garmin 510 - Cadence Magnet
1) Get some blu-tack and make the surface level, then wrap the cable tie normally.
2) The cadence box that fits onto the frame should be just a few cm's behind your wheel (I have a road bike with 700x73cc wheels)
and the magnet should be about 3-4 inches from the end of your crank.
Hope this helps.
Speed sensor
I have Mavic Krysium SLS wheels which have quite wide flat spokes.
Do I need to remove them and fit the supplied Garmin ones (I would be buying an extra cadence device ad sears for the second bike anyway), or will the cateye ones work okay?
Do you want to compare this product?
Only 4 products can be compared at once. Adding this product will remove the product you added to the list first.

And, I have found, that in USTA mixed league play, for the most part the social aspect goes out the window. The women I play with are very competitive and fearless.
I'm a 4.0 male and have good success in the men's league, but I have trouble in the 8.0 mxd. I can understand losing with a 3.5 female, but sometimes I get a good partner and I still can't stop the other team from hitting to my partner all the time. Thank you tennis-n-sc for explaining the key element of mxd playing. I hope my partner will understand when I tell her to neutralize the male player over there.
I think the best teams have 4.0/4.0 matched up together, unless you have a "real" 4.5 guy and a 3.5 girl who's really a 4.0.
Does anyone else get psyched out by the clock. I can't stop watching that darn clock (you only get to play up to 1 1/2 hours indoors). We can be 4 games up and I'm thinking about how many games we can play in the amount of time left, etc. I know....don't do that! Easier said than done.

Dolomites, Greece, Balkan: 8 countries in 15 days
View Single Post
Andy G
2wheeled alpinist
Joined: Jul 2008
Location: eastern Munich outback, Bavaria, Germany
Oddometer: 551
Part 1: Through the Dolmites, ferry across the mediteranean sea, to Greece
Day 1:
As I already told, Anita still had to work so I advanced to the Dolomites to enjoy some twisties. Near Wolkenstein:
Did some more passes that day: Sellajoch, Passo di Fedaia, Passo di Falzarego and Passo di Giau. Shortly after Passo di Giau I stayed for the night in a nameless village in a rather spooky but pretty cheap hostel. When I'm travelling alone I don't like to stop too often so there are not so many pics of this day. Anyway the weather wasn't so nice. In the evening I phoned Anita and we agreed to try to meet on the Karapass in two days.
Day 2:
Because I know the northern Dolomite rather well I decided to roam around further south. So I didn't take any of the famous passes today but stuck to smallest country roads. Selva, Zoldo Alto, Forno, Logarone, Ponte, Pieve, Farra, Col Brombolo, Vittorio Veneto, Valdobbiadene, Broso and Monte Grappa were my stations today. From Monte Grappa I went to Grigno in the Brenta valley which I wanted to see for a long time. It is really impressive, narrow valley, high mountains. Also I had to turn north again if I wanted to reach Karerpass tomorrow night. In Grigno I climbed up the Passo di Brocon to Castello where I found a pretty Hostel and called it a day. I phoned Anita and she told me she won't make it to Karerpass tomorrow but will need two more days. During the evening with a great pizza with locally collected mushrooms, speck and a cold beer I decided to go to Greece tomorrow.
Valle di Zoldo between Forno and Longarone:
somewhere in Bosco del Cansiglia (Bosco means forest AFAIK)
I even found a gravel road that was not explicetly forbidden:
Ascending Monte Grappa:
Viewpoint on the ascend. Monte Grappa played some role in both world wars and is the highest peak in the Vicentinian Alps. I didn't visit the memorial site on top, it started raining and was pretty cold. Instead I had a coffee and a chocolate bar at the Refugio Bassano at the peak at 1742m altitude (Refugio = mountain hut, sometimes with food / lodging)
approaching the Brenta valley:
view from my hostel in Castello:
Day 3:
today I had to speed up a bit to get my ferry at Ancona at 4.00pm. But I didn't want to miss the Passo di Brocon. Early morning on the pass:
Made it just in time... went to the port (I still had the coordinates on my GPS from beeing there the last time), parked directly in front of the ticket office, ran in, bought a ticket (the girl at the counter just said hurry up) and rode on the ferry immedeatly (no waiting this time
). I was still unloading and bonding the tranny when the ferry took off. I wanted to check out a sleeping place I discovered last time: in the main stair case under the lowest stairs. With carpet, rather quiet, dry and halfway dark. Hmm, I slept better on other places, in the end it was to light and uneasy. Next time I'll sleep outside on the deck again.
Insertion for those who don't know the Greece-ferries:
The trip takes about 20h. The cabins are really pricey (> 300) and the seats are
(I can sleep everywhere, but not while sitting). Third possibility is to just buy the passage and find a sleeping place somewhere on the ship, meaning no cabin, no seat. It's the cheapest and for me its the permission to do what I want...
end of insertion
on the vessel, leaving Italy:
We arrived at Igoumenitsa at 0600 in the morning. I didn't want to stay on the ship till Patra this time (same price) but ride along the coast. It was absolutely woth it!!! After season, almost no traffic and in any case more exciting than beeing on the ferry for another 5h.
Greek coast:
My private breakfast beach. After being caged on the ferry for almost 24h I first had a swim and then a nice big breakfast. There was nobody except me, maybe it was to early for the Greeks...
Around noon I got real hunger. And as I was still standing on the rather deserted main road of small fishers village thinking of what to do about it the door of the Taverna next to me opend and the Chef asked if I'm hungry
... so I had a nice steak with Greek salad. Later a Greek family joined in the restaurant, but there were absolutely no tourists!
The ascend to the Buddhist retreat center "Karma Berchen Ling". 15km from the next permanently inhabited village, 10km of it gravel road, the last 500m depending on how the last winter was rather tricky (I dumped bike, GF, me and equipment there some years ago while trying to get there two up in the night while raining).
more to come...
