A beautiful, great-value set. -
All 16 of these fabulous books are fantastic, arrived in great condition and look lovely on any bookshelf with the lovely slipcase. An essential addition to your collection.Katy, 11/10/2013
Wow!!! -
What a collection! I have been looking for books for my 7-year-old son and now I have found them. Very happy with the customer service. Super speed delivery. My only regret is that the first Morpurgo 16-book set is not still available. I would snap it up if it was!Steve, 08/11/2012
16-book collection -
Having read Kensuke's Island, an impulse buy, and loved every page of it we bought this collection for our grandchildren to keep at our house for when they stay overnight. We are reading each one first (just to test them out of course) and thoroughly enjoying them all so far. He is such a brilliant writer, they are all real page turners and we really look forward to our morning coffee break which is getting longer and longer each day!Jean, 23/10/2012
Brilliantly told stories -
I bought these for my daughter having heard the author on the radio and they are fantastic! I read these to her before bed and they are varied, interesting (for me too...) brilliantly written and just so enjoyable. We have just finished My Friend Walter and are working through the rest of this box set. They are books she will want to read to herself shortly and she has already asked for others by him for Christmas. Thank you Mr Morpurgo for making reading time interesting for parents too!Samantha, 12/10/2012
"Amazing" -
I haven't got the set yet but, WOW, what a bargain! I went to Waterstones and had a look at them and it would have been over £100 for all of them. If you have a child who loves books, GET THEM NOW or even for you GET THEM NOW!!!Leah, 16/09/2012
"Fabulous collection" -
This is a brilliant offer. I bought these for my kids as the author had been recommended by their school as a must-read author. I started reading with and to my kids but enjoyed them so much I started reading them for myself! Fictional stories set against a real life historical setting which brings history to life in an entertaining way. Some are more challenging than others for younger readers but there is something for all ages in this set. Do buy, it will benefit your kids love of reading and also helps with their writing development as it is quality literature they are reading. Enjoy.Rachel, 16/09/2012
"Great range for all ages" -
Very touching and well-told stories. Some of the collection are too hard-going for my 6 and 7 year old (it's strange when your 6 year old asks what an IED is!) but a great range of books which will last for many years. A must have at the price.Shirley, 02/09/2012
This book collection is an amazing book collection. I've had it for about 3 months but can't stop reading them. Well worth the money and time. These are must buy books for you to read and enjoy just like what I have.Melissa, 24/08/2012

Plane Crash - Parking Lot
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A small plane crashed into a parking lot near a South Florida airport, killing all three people onboard and burning about a dozen cars.
Fort Lauderdale fire officials said no one on the ground was hurt in the Friday afternoon crash near that city's executive airport. The plane was a Piper Navajo, which is a two-engine turboprop.
A Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport spokesman says the plane began experiencing problems shortly after takeoff and was trying to return when it hit a warehouse at 53rd Street and North Powerline Road, about a half-mile east of the airport. It then crashed into the parking lot.
Television images showed about eight cars in a corner that were burned out shells, a smoldering heap covered in foam spread by firefighters on the scene.

Fae and Mom out for a stroll; baby sure has some back to her!!
Definitely her father's daughter:
She is shedding out the most gorgeous dark bronzed liver, which you can't see here as the sun, which wasn't out, really accentuates it's richness. (And this is bleached from the sun - it was much darker) Can't wait to see if she keeps this color..
This filly is such a high point and source of joy for me!!

OceanaGold to start mining at Didipio
popular .
OceanaGold Corp. disclosed Friday that it expects mining at the Didipio gold project in Nueva Vizcaya to start within the first quarter of this year.
Commercial production or gold plant commissioning is expected to start around the end of 2012 to early 2013.
The Australian miner aims to expand production to a range of 300,000 to 350,000 ounces of gold in 2013, when production at Didipio complements output from New Zealand.
Concrete pouring for the plant at Didipio started in November 2011 as scheduled. OceanaGold said that despite heavy rain during the quarter, bulk earthworks for the plant site was completed and excavation progressed reasonably well for the power station.
"The mining contract was awarded and the contractor commenced mobilizing to site in late December," according to the company disclosure to the Australian Securities Exchange.
OceanaGold said the construction camp is nearing completion with about 550 construction contractors and staff on site.
All major construction contracts are either awarded or in the process of being tendered.
The Australian miner said it spent $30.9 million on construction works for Didipio in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Total construction costs since June 2011 has so far reached $65.6 million.
OceanaGold's total exploration expenditure for the fourth quarter of 2011 reached $3.4 million.
In the Philippines alone, further soil sampling activities near Didipio and geological mapping at other tenements were conducted.
Also during the quarter, the company said it hosted a site visit where analysts and investors had the opportunity to meet the project team, see the construction progress, and witness the company's ties with the local community.
The mayor of Kasibu, the barangay captain (village chief) of Didipio and the president of the Didipio Community Development Corporation (Dicorp) participated in the site visit.
Total fourth quarter gold production was up 11 percent on the previous quarter to 65,750 ounces bringing the total for 2011 to 252,499 ounces.
"This was slightly below expectations for the quarter and subsequently the year," OceanaGold said.
For the full year 2011, including a year-end adjustment for inventory, the unaudited cash costs were $875 an ounce, which is within the guidance range of $850 to $890 per ounce.
OceanaGold owns and operates New Zealand's largest gold mine, Macraes (Open Pit and Frasers Underground) and Reefton Goldfields. The assets are located on the South Island of New Zealand.

As part of its Rs.70,000-crore expansion programme, Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) on Monday commissioned a unit procured from Italy-based Danieli at its Rourkela Steel Plant.
SAIL Chairman C. S. Verma inaugurated the second ladle furnace of steel melting shop-II of Rourkela Steel Plant, the company said in a statement.
"The ladle furnace is part of a Rs. 197.66-crore scheme for simultaneous blowing in basic oxygen furnace (BOF) convertors of steel melting shop-II.
"Total investment envisaged for different facilities as a part of the modernisation and expansion is Rs.11,812 crore," it said.
SAIL is undertaking an estimated Rs.70,000-crore capacity augmentation at all of its steel plants. The country's largest steel producer has targeted to install an annual production capacity of about 23 million tonnes against the present 14 million tonnes.
The Rourkela plant produces about two million tonnes of steel and is targeting to double its annual capacity in the next two years.
"The 150-tonne ladle furnace, procured from Danieli India, is meant for secondary refining of steel for finer chemistry control and maintenance of ideal temperature for continuous casting," it added.
The company said that the new furnace would increase the capacity of the unit from 1.68 million tonnes to 1.85 million tonnes of liquid steel annually. "...thereby increasing production of slabs by 0.17 million tonnes per annum," it added.

SEP 12.1 - NetBackup - _vxfiVspCacheFile_*.* Exclusion
Morning All
We are setting up AV exclusions for NetBackup and one recommended exclusion is _vxfiVspCacheFile_*.*
However, SEP does not seem to allow for such a criteria to be defined in Global settings within the Virus and Spyware Protection Settings.
Is there a way? i.e. can we define (via registry) a location for _vxfiVspCacheFile_*.* and therefore exclude that folder location from backup.
If you can help in any way it would be gratefully appreciated
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
you should follow this article
Creating Centralized Exception Policies in SEPM
I read the article and based on the instructions i would need to do this:
Select one of the four options: Known Risks, File, Folder, Extensions.
Note: Wildcard variables such as * and ? are not supported for Known Risks, File, or Folder exceptions. The ? wildcard is supported for Extension exceptions. The Folder exceptions screen will accept * and ? but they will be treated as literal characters not wildcard variables.
HOWEVER, i cannot define _vxfiVspCacheFile_*.* because according to article : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH33293
The file endings are either *.tmp or .vsp.
Exclude _vxfiVspCacheFile_*.* (VSP cache files will either have a .tmp or .vsp extension, depending upon the version of NetBackup, but will always contain "_vxfiVspCacheFile_" in the name, followed by a number.)
Any other suggestions?
why don't you include the path ?
as per this article it will be there in the root drive
can you check ?
I had a look at the issue in greater detail and Looking at article : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126295 it states: "Using VSS instead of VSP will eliminate the risk of errors or conflicts with anti-virus software and also resolve other potential issues that can be encountered when backing up using a VSP snapshot."
We are using NBU 7.1, and therefore using VSS so we can ignore excluding this file/folder set. However, i would say defining this file set is pretty impossible in SEP :)
Many thanks - FujSol

[[caption-width-right:220:Anna and Marnie]]
'''''When Marnie Was There''''' , ('''''Omoide no Marnie, "Marnie of My Memories" ''''', 2014)''''
The 22nd anime film produced by Studio Ghibli, written and directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, and based on the novel "When Marnie Was There" by Joan G. Robinson. It was released on July 19, 2014.
Anna is an introverted, alienated, and artistic IllGirl from Sapporo. Sent to a rural seaside village for her health, she becomes fascinated by a large manor house looming on a nearby point. Investigating, she finds it abandoned. But the second time she visits the house is full of life and light, and home to a blonde girl named Marnie, who Anna has been seeing in her dreams. The two bond and start to open up to each other, until the day Anna visits and finds a new family has bought the house and there is a new girl in Marnie's window. This girl, Sayaka, startles Anna by asking if ''she'' is the Marnie who wrote the old diary she'd just found in her room. [[spoiler: It's over 70 years old but it recounts Marnie and Anna's adventures just as Anna remembers them]]. Anna and Sayaka decide that to get to the bottom of this mystery they have to learn all they can about Marnie and hopefully find the diary's missing pages. In the process Anna will learn her own place in the world and perhaps make her first real friend, for the courage she gained opening up to Marnie may allow Anna to open up to Sayaka too.
* ComingOfAgeStory: Anna matures a lot throughout her adventures with Marnie.
* ChekhovsGunman: The elderly woman, Hisako, who Anna notices painting by the shore. [[spoiler:She is Manie's childhood friend, and provides Anna and Sayaka with the first half of the truth about Marnie's identity.]]
* DefinitelyJustACold: Anna falls unconscious a few times in the movie, but refuses to acknowledge she has a problem.
* TheFerryMan: Alluded to. The first time Anna visits the manor house she found herself stranded on the other side of the bay after the tide came in. A silent fisherman finds her and brings her back to the village.
* FosterKid: Marnie's governess abuses her when her parents aren't around. [[spoiler: Anna fears Yoriko only adopted her for the money.]]
* GhostlyGoals: [[spoiler:Marnie wants to spend time with Anna, who is truly her granddaughter, and help her grow beyond her abandonment issues.]]
* IllGirl: Anna, though she works her way up to PluckyGirl by the end.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Anna and Marnie. This is significant, as blue is a very exotic eye color in Japan and Anna's blue eyes do not go unnoticed, which just feeds her sense of isolation.
* {{Jerkass}}: The governess and two maids abuse and bully Marnie when her parents are away.
* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler: Marnie is Anna's grandmother.]]
* LoveLetterLunacy: Parental love version: Anna's isolation and depression began when she found a hidden letter to her mother that rocked her whole world.
* ParentalAbandonment: Marnie's parents are present, but often leave her with an abusive governess; Anna's abandonment issues stem from several traumatic early childhood incidents.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Anna and Marnie's relationship quickly grows into this.
* TimeTravel [=/=] LivingMemory: Both seem possible in the beginning and [[spoiler: the difference matters in the end]].
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Anna and Marnie, respectively. It's a rare example with an introverted tomboy and an outgoing girly girl.
* WriteBackToTheFuture: [[spoiler:Marnie's diary]] in effect though not in intent.

Martin did a fantastic job against Chelsea! To have been thrown into the team basically at the last minute and to play as well as he did makes me think that he should probably be playing more often. He's a better defender than Glen and he can only get better going forward the more he plays!

Eurozone recession is now longest everBy PAN PYLAS
and SARAH DiLORENZO
The Associated Press | May 16,2013AP Photo
People wait for a subway in Milan, Italy, on Wednesday. The recession across the economy of the 17 European Union countries that use the euro extended into its sixth quarter, longer than the calamitous slump that hit the region in the financial crisis of 2008-09.PARIS The eurozone is now in its longest ever recession a stubborn slump that has surpassed even the calamity that hit the region in the financial crisis of 2008-2009.
The European Union statistics office said Wednesday that nine of the 17 EU countries that use the euro are in recession, with France a notable addition to the list. Overall, the eurozones economy contracted for the sixth straight quarter, shrinking by 0.2 percent in the January-March period from the previous three months.
Though the contraction is an improvement on the previous quarters 0.6 percent decline, its another unwelcome report for the single-currency bloc as it grapples with a debt crisis that has prompted governments to slash spending and raise taxes.
The eurozone is facing a double blow from necessary restructuring of its domestic economy and somewhat disappointing growth in world trade, in particular demand from emerging markets, said Marie Diron, senior economic adviser to Ernst & Young.
This recession is not nearly as deep as the one in 2008-9, which ran for five quarters, but it is now the longest in the 14-year history of the euro. A recession is typically defined as two straight quarters of negative growth.
Austerity measures have inflicted severe economic pain and produced social unrest across the eurozone, where the average unemployment rate is a record 12.1 percent and higher in some places. In Spain, its 26.7 percent and in Greece 27.2 percent.
Wednesdays report also brought bad news for the wider 27-country EU, which includes non-euro members such as Britain and Poland. The EU too is now in recession after shrinking by a quarterly rate of 0.1 percent in the first quarter, following a 0.5 percent drop in the previous period.
With a population of more than half a billion people, the EU is the worlds largest export market. If it remains stuck in reverse, companies in the U.S. and Asia will be hit. Last month, U.S.-based Ford Motor Co. lost $462 million in Europe and called the outlook there uncertain. McDonalds saw its sales in Europe, the hamburger chains biggest market outside the U.S., fall 1.1 percent of in the first quarter.
Other major economies have faltered this year but none are in recession. The annualized contraction in the eurozone, based on this quarters figures, of around 0.9 percent contrasts with the equivalent expansion of the U.S. of 2.5 percent. Meanwhile, China, the worlds No. 2 economy, is growing around 8 percent a year.
For many analysts, that discrepancy highlights Europes flawed economic approach since the end of the financial crisis. Instead of keeping the spending taps on as the U.S. has largely done the region concentrated on austerity even though companies and consumers werent able to plug the gap left by the retrenching state.
However, there have been some recent indications that Europes leaders are willing to ease up on their adherence to cuts and tax increases at a time of recession. Some countries, for example, are being given more time to meet certain economic and financial targets.
Also, the European Central Bank cut its benchmark interest rate this month a quarter-point to a record low of 0.50 percent. President Mario Draghi has said the ECB was prepared to flex its muscles further if needed.
Despite the latest relaxation of some deficit-reduction targets and an easing of concerns over the debt crisis in financial markets most economists think the eurozone will remain in recession in the second quarter.
Growth is expected to emerge in the second half of the year, but it isnt likely to amount to much. Many economists warn of a lost decade ahead for the eurozone similar to the one endured by Japan, which, like the eurozone, has zigzagged in and out of recession over the past few years. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the last set of available figures, Japans economy was flat.
The eurozone has been in recession since the fourth quarter of 2011. Initially it was just the countries at the forefront of its debt crisis, such as Greece and Portugal that were contracting.
But the malaise is now spreading to the so-called core countries. Figures released Wednesday showed Germany, Europes largest economy, grew by a less-than-anticipated quarterly rate of 0.1 percent, largely because of a severe winter.
The Achilles heel for the German economy right now is the weak demand for investment goods such as industrial equipment and factory machinery, said Ralf Wiechers, economist for the German Engineering Association.
No one knows where things are going in Europe.
Germanys paltry growth still allowed it to avoid a recession after orders for the countrys high-value goods from its struggling euro neighbors declined.
However, France, Europes second-largest economy, has not avoided that fate. On the first anniversary of Francois Hollande becoming president, figures showed that the countrys economy contracted by a quarterly rate of 0.2 percent for the second quarter running.
The eurozone countries are our main clients and our main suppliers, French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said.
This marks the third time that France has been in recession since 2008, when a banking crisis pushed the global economy into its deepest contraction since World War II.
Guillaume Cairou, CEO of the consultancy Didaxis and president of Frances Club of Entrepreneurs, said the news that the country is in recession merely confirms the difficulties its businesses have long experienced.
The situation of companies on the ground is grave and more serious today than in 2008, Cairou said in a written statement.

Love it! I have served this to all sorts of people and everybody loves it. We have eaten it in many ways, as a spread for crackers or perfect with meats, especially poultry.
Excellent and yummy flavor. I made it for Thanksgiving and my husband has requested it 3 more times. It has a great tangy flavor. Only change : I only put 1/4 c of vinegar.
Tangy and tart-sweet (I omitted the red pepper flakes because I don't like them). I really liked this and so did my family. I think it would make a good PP+ friendly canape: spread a little reduced fat cream cheese on a slice of deli turkey, put some of this chutney on it, roll up and skewer with a toothpick.
Works well on veggie burgers, too.

Remember Me
Last Thursday, the sideshow came to Manhattan's Upper West Side at Makor, a cultural center that has played host to the likes of Topaz, Antibalas and Dr. Didg. The subdued atmosphere of imported brew and circular tables was primed for some antics and gutbucket
jumped right on it with blind folds on. I've seen them a few times now and the music keeps me coming back but my curiosity's also piqued with wonder every time to see what's going to come out of them next.
They opened with "Rock n Roll" which is the track I listen to most on their album, InsomniacsDream. The flayed loop that Ty Citerman puts out there on guitar is the constant movement that sets up Ken Thomson's sax. As he strings along the melody, Paul Chufo rocks the bass drum to wake the contemplative start and that's where Eric Rockwin joins to widen the ominous and stomach twisting intensity of the piece. As many of their songs do, "Rock n Roll" unravels into chaotic blasts and blurts but they always come back
together neatly so I became even more curious as to how they'd do that when they put the blind folds on.
After a short introduction by Ken, Paul came out to fix Ty's fold so he could lead us into the second song of the night, "Dry Humping the American Dream." Ken was next but his stage presence demanded a lot more than some cloth to cover his eyes. Ken's feel for their tunes comes out as he romps around the stage and, as he did at the Knitting Factory a couple of months ago, off, out of the room, up to the balcony, out in the hall and back. To protect himself, the other guys and the equipment, Ken had a bicycle helmet on and a chain that fastened from his belt to the bass drum. That leash was a perfect example of irony. As each player was blinded in their turn, they joined the build up for one of the band's epics. As it winds through latin, nail-hard punk and back only to flip and twist the styles as they go along, Ty produced some sharp distorted notes from his strings with a fork. Eric was serving up some gibberish of his own on the electric stand up bass and that's when their usual antics began. The fact that they couldn't see one another didn't deter them from messing with one another at all. In fact, they seemed to enjoy it more in later tunes when only certain members of the band couldn't see.
The drum kit started to take a little bit of a beating so full sight was regained and gutbucket played "Liberation," in honor of removing their blind folds. Starting off with a group whistle, they inched out into some echoed repeats and a light touch on the drums that wound into a conversation between the guys that overlapped and fed over one another to the point that I could barely discern who was saying what. It was of no matter, though, because their playful spirit was all over it.
I had a conversation recently with Eric on the merits of not taking much of anything too seriously so I'm glad he found some people to play with who feel the same. Eric's versatility on the bass speaks of disciplined diversity but he lets it loose between his use of a bow, his fingers and bouncing thunder strikes on the strings with a drum stick. This seemed to fuel Ken even further into a tight progressive jazz passage that had each of them bouncing off of seperate corners of the room. Later in the set, we were treated to
"Tonight's Oyster Selection" which was only the second time they've played it live. Ty started picking off a half step from the head beat which Paul had a challenge keeping as Ken dragged the drums off their foundation from the other end of that chain.
I noticed a papier mache guitar off to the side of the stage but thought it was some left over prop from something else that went down at Makor. Instead, it was gutbucket's
pinata, brought to make added use to the blindfolds. As the band played on, members of the audience came up. One after one, their flailing wiffs lifted belly laughs from the crowd but none so much as the guy who completely missed the pinata and hit himself. Eventually, the music and the candy exploded out all over the stage and everyone was able to savor the treats.
They ended the set with "Insects," the first track on their album. Opening with a stir from the percussion and a head lolling set of phrases on the strings, Ken shredded out severity on the sax that gave way to Ty's uncorked insanity on the guitar. Folding in and out on the lead that they established, this relatively short diddy picked up the pace in a furious way that blew out the boundaries and rose the crowd higher and higher to the crashless climax that hung in the air.
As the music scene continues to open up and bands explore every space of what were once niches, it's more and more difficult to say that any one of them are unique. I can't say that I know of another band that offers the ticklish humor and blend of Latin tones, deconstructive jazz and power romping punk that they do. After a very successful run at the Knitting Factory to end 2000, gutbucket's
hitting more venues. You'll be able to find them at NYC's Luna Lounge on April 17th and Wetlands Preserve on the 22nd.

Dscottwrote a review of Evolv Astroman Climbing Shoe on July 17, 2014
Crack. Crack forever.
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit: True to size
These are excellent shoes, especially for people with wide or splaying feet! Thus far, I have used these at Indian Creek, Vedauwoo, and the Front Range (Lumpy, Eldo) for the most part. The padding and stiffness is absolutely stellar for a long day of crack. I do not feel limited by these shoes whatsoever. They even perform beautifully on thin, crystally edges for which I'd normally reach for my anasazi's. They are very very stiff (board lasted) which takes getting used to if you've been using only flexible shoes. Apparently, though, board lasted shoes are much more resilient after being resoled (just what I've heard from shoe-guys).
The laces are total crap. I replaced them after a week at the Creek (which, in their defense, is pretty rough on shoes). I'm just now getting these resoled after climbing on them for about 4 months (used them at least once or twice per week and on a few longer trips, as well as the training cracks at the gym). The rubber has seemed to wear out a bit quickly, but I'm hoping some stealth C4 will solve those problems.
In terms of usage, I think these excel on thin edges and any type of crack. I especially like them for vedauwoo, as they protect my ankles and heel-toe like nothing else. They are a bit tough to get a lot of rubber on smearing, but I still feel confident doing so. They do have a bulky toe profile, so they don't really fit in thin cracks (I start feeling very shaky trying to shove them in anything smaller than a # .75 C4).
TL;DR: Great shoes, especially for wide feet. Will up your game in cracks, especially painful ones. Replace the laces ASAP.

Alleged specs and another photo of Sony Xperia G leak
Shortly after we got treated to a first look at the Sony Xperia G, another leaked photo of the upcoming device made the rounds on Twitter. This time around, the image comes with alleged specs for the mid-range smartphone.
According to the source of the leaked images, the Sony Xperia G will feature LTE connectivity, 4.8 display of unknown resolution (720p is likely), 8MP camera, 8GB of built-in memory (microSD card slot was clearly visible in the first leak), and a gig of RAM. The handset is tipped to come with no IP rating. There is no word on the chipset of the upcoming device.
The Sony Xperia G will likely break cover during MWC at the end of this month in Barcelona. We will be there live, so will keep an eye out for the device.

My Rating
I was disappointed in that we spent the first 1/2 hour sitting near a park listening to the guide give us his opinions on the politics of Macau. Yes, I did want to learn about the history, but he did go on too much. Then we spent 1 hour sitting around while some passengers went up the tower, we should have been given an alternative to this , they were only supposed to spend 35 minutes up there but it turned out to be an hour. Hence lunch was rushed. Those that went up said it wasn't worth the money. This should have been included considering the price we paid. We enjoyed the heritage area, and would have loved to spent more time there. To rushed there. Not worth the money we paid.
