Here's a photo of my friend's 351 rafted with another friend's boat. It is really an interesting study in contrasts, especially when you consider that the other boat (on left) is a 42 footer:
We liked the 351 as well for the same reasons. I don't think Bass Strait would probably feature in our plans anytime soon - I just used the 1998 Sydney to Hobart as an example of a situation where a forecast had been off the mark, with alot of the fleet getting into trouble a few nautical miles off the coast before they even hit the strait.
The immediate plans for us would be a cruise up the east coast of OZ to the Whitsundays, QLD islands etc. Once I get up there it is tradewind sailing with a lot of islands a day sail away from each other.....beyond than the plans get a little more ambitious, across to the louisiades archipelago in Papua New Guinea(a 3 day sail but we are now off the beaten track, with no rescue services). There are also then tentative plans beyond that of Asia or the Pacific, but the reality that we are starting to accept is that those plans are going to be a little way off yet.
We were initially looking for a boat that would be capable of all of the above, that is one that would be able to take us offshore when the time comes. But if the next 5 years is going to be only coastal cruising, then we have started thinking well why not a boat like the Beneteau 351?

@Subjugation said:
Do people legitimately think it is cock, or is it a bad attempt at a joke? I can't tell with you guys.
well, cock is technically closer than coke is... neither are right, but coke is definitely the least correct way of saying it.
I like cock.
But it's pronounced something like "Korgh" I think.
took 5 seconds to put koch media into wiki and its german site. so its german pronunciation
I fall into the "cotch" school of thought. The H&K example has been brought up quite a bit, and that's what I first thought of when I saw the word.
Let's not reinvent the wheel:
I'm Scottish and this has never been a difficult pronunciation for me. It rhymes with loch. And that's not lock, the "ch" is a throaty gutteral sound. Think someone had the fancy name of it on the 2nd page.
It's like that presenter on NPR Planet money, Chana jaffe-Walt. She said once that so many people butcher her name, she just accepts either Hannah or Kana, where-as it should be pronounced with the afore-mentioned "Loch" sound.
Edit - term is voiceless velar fricative - thanks original poster.
@BillyTheKid said:
I always pronounced it the same as the Heckler and Koch line of guns. So kind of like coke with a really reserved h too it.
This is a little funny. Take as example a company name you mispronounce and use the same mispronunciation on another company name. At least you're consistent ;)
@nohthink said:
I thought it was like coach....
That's what I thought.
It's from Germany - it's pronounced "COSH".
Ever heard of Robert Koch? Developer of Koch's Posulates? In the medical field, we pronounce it as "Cosh". It's always pronounced as Cosh, by Germans. Since Koch media is from Germany, that's how they would pronounce it.
German here. This was very amusing.
@NewDust said:
It's so easy if you know it but hard to explain.
1. Ko as in Cock
2. ch as in... well I only think German words have this sound (and some Dutch words come close... so why not put a video here. It's the first option she explains.Loading Video...
Edit: Koch as rhyme to Loch is close but the proper pronounciation of loch would end more to mixture of Lock and Log.
This guy is right.
But keep on pronouncing it any way you want.

Hard or soft O in "COSH"? Damn it and I took a semester of German, I'm supposed to know this.
"Coke", "cosh" hahaha, you guys crack me up.
I´m a native German and the "ch" is pronounced more like the "ch" in "Loch Ness", provided you don´t americanize it or something. Edit: The Youtube video is probably closer to the truth. Damn you CH!
On a related note: I would never have imagined them picking up any meaningful license or franchise. Don´t want to scare you, but German (and Austrian) publishers don´t exactly have the best track record in non-sleazyness.
Pretend you are coughing up a human hairball. The noise you are making is how I imagined it being pronounced.
its not coke, cock, cough or whatever... its koch... and despite what anyone in this thread is saying, we pronounce it "Kọch", its actually the german word for "cook"
if you actually want to hear how we pronounce it, you should check http://www.dict.cc/?s=koch
Hi, I'm German and this
@OfficeGamer said:
I thought it was Koch as in Kochhhhhhhhhhh like "Lachayem"
is correct.
Here is another video that explains it:
edit: Hallo modem.
edit2: I think Loch Ness is a good example, although I'm not sure everybody pronounces it the same way.

3/20/15 Liza Minnelli Checks Into Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, March 19, 2015
In his upcoming memoir, JON CRYER says that CHARLIE SHEEN helped him dip into the world of prostitution when his marriage ended. He also said Charlie asked him to hide a bag full of porn one day when DENISE RICHARDS was coming to the set.
Okay, things just got real: "Us Weekly" posted a picture of KATIE HOLMES and JAMIE FOXX holding hands.
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise have eight-year-old daughter Suri and that's pretty much all they have these days. TMZ reports, citing sources close to both of them, that Katie and Tom have no contact with each other. They don't even speak and any decisions they make concerning Suri are handled through intermediaries.
69-year-old LIZA MINNELLI has checked herself into rehab. Liza has been in rehab a few times before, for a dependency on alcohol and prescription drugs. Her problems go back to a Valium addiction she picked up after her mother JUDY GARLAND died of an overdose in 1969.
Gwyneth Paltrow is livid that her friend Kate Hudson is making a play for her ex Chris Martin. Kate and Chris went out to dinner after they hung out at the beach all day in Malibu earlier this month. Sources say Paltrow was "livid" about the date pointing out that Hudson is supposed to be her friend. And the sources say the Chris's on-off girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence isn't too thrilled either, but she isn't giving up on him and won't go down without a fight.
3/18/15 Katie Holmes & Jamie Foxx an Item?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, March 18, 2015
We haven't heard rumors about KATIE HOLMES and JAMIE FOXX in a while, but "People" magazine says they've been casually seeing each other for over a year. Supposedly, "multiple sources" have confirmed this. One of them says, quote, "This is not some intense romance. Jamie and Katie are friends and have been for a long time. They are two adults who are attractive and single . . . But they're not about to run off and make some serious commitment."
CHRIS BROWN made Monday all about the LADIES. It started with a special visit from his nine-month-old daughter Royalty and her mother Nia Guzman. He was swinging through Houston, so he had a limo pick them up at their hotel, and bring them to his tour bus. After playing with the kid for a bit, Chris performed a show . . . attended an after-party . . . and then capped it off by hitting up a STRIP CLUB with TYGA.
KIM KARDASHIAN's mobile game, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood", made tens of millions of dollars from gullible teenagers . . . so this is a no-brainer. The company that made it is releasing a new game starring KENDALL and KYLIE JENNER. The girls announced it with an Instagram photo of their digital likenesses. The company says the game will, quote, "allow players to interact with the sisters as friends and mentors as they work to realize their creative and career aspirations." It'll be out later this year.
People criticize GWYNETH PALTROW for saying she's just like everybody else. But she seems happy to give them ammunition. She told CNN, quote, "I'm incredibly close to the common woman in that I'm a woman, and I'm a mother, and we all are in a physical body, with beating hearts, with compassion and love.
3/17/15 Did Patrick Cheat on Miley?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
A British tabloid posted some pictures yesterday of PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER in Cabo San Lucas, possibly enjoying spring break a little TOO much. In the photos, he's making time with a girl in a bikini . . . hugging, dancing, and walking arm-in-arm with her and doing BODY SHOTS off of her. So did Patrick just get caught cheating on MILEY CYRUS? He says no. He Tweeted, quote, "Omg. It's one of my best friends' girlfriend. Would NEVER do anything against my GF. Girls have guy friends and guys have friends that are girls."
DEMI LOVATO is celebrating her third anniversary of sobriety, and she took to Twitter yesterday to thank everyone who supported her. But she gave a special shout-out to her boyfriend WILMER VALDERRAMA. She posted a picture of them kissing, with the caption, "I wish I could put into words how grateful I am for this man right here. But my love has grown to a level that words could never possibly express how much this man completes me . . . After sharing my ups, putting up with my downs and supporting my recovery . . . he still never takes credit and I want the world to know how incredible his soul is. I really wouldn't be alive today without him. I love you Wilmer."
ASHTON KUTCHER started an online petition asking Target and Costco to provide changing stations in their men's rooms, hoping it will influence other companies to follow suit. He says, quote, "It's 2015, families are diverse, and it is an injustice to assume it's only a woman's job to handle changing diapers."
David Arquette was booted from Justin Bieber's 21st birthday bash Sunday morning in Las Vegas. Bieber took the party to his rooftop villa at the Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace. One guest told the NY Post that Arquette was "pretty messed up" by the time the after-party kicked off in the suite, and was openly "talking about Bieber behind his back." The witness said: "Justin heard what David had been saying, and threw him out of his suite with the help of a friend, because they didn't have security up there. Somehow David managed to get back in and rushed at Bieber to take him out. There was a confrontation, then other people got in the way to separate them. David was thrown out again, this time for good.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN's boyfriend SCOTT DISICK is going to rehab to deal with his alcohol and drug issues. He says, quote, "I realize my issues are bigger than me and I'm ready to truly remedy this struggle I continue to battle."
3/16/15 Pamela Anderson's Ugly Divorce
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, March 16, 2015
TAYLOR SWIFT joked about the rumor that she insured her legs for $40 million, after her cat put a huge scratch on one of them. She Tweeted a picture of the scratch along with the caption, "Great work Meredith. I was just trying to love you and now you owe me $40 million."
Comedy Central's roast of JUSTIN BIEBER taped Saturday night, and will air March 30th. Highlights included a surprise appearance by WILL FERRELL as Ron Burgundy, and this crack from JEFF ROSS . . . quote, "Selena wanted to be here but she's dating men now."
PAMELA ANDERSON's divorce is getting ugly. She just got a restraining order against her estranged husband RICK SALOMON, and her petition included nasty emails and texts where he accuses her of having multiple abortions. He even calls her, quote, "a serial baby killer and says she should be locked up.
JOHNNY DEPP is #1 on a new list of "The 20 Most Overrated Actors of Our Time." Liam Neeson, Angelina Jolie, Robert Downey Jr., and Meryl Streep round out the Top Five. Meanwhile, Emily Blunt and Jake Gyllenhaal top a list of "The 5 Most Underrated Actors Right Now."
3/13/15 Hackers Attacking Kanye
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, March 13, 2015
ROBERT DOWNEY JR. personally delivered a legit, bionic arm . . . styled to look like one of Iron Man's . . . to a 7-year-old boy named Alex who was born with a partially-developed right arm. The 3D-printed arm was created by a company called Limbitless Solutions, who are on the cutting edge of making this technology cheap. This particular arm only cost $350 in materials.
Lindsay Lohan continues to be clueless on social media. Two days after using a racial slur on Twitter, she uploaded a major Photoshop fail in an attempt to enhance her booty. In the Instagram pic, Lindsay strikes a pose in front of a white door, but the area around her butt is clearly warped and stretched.
The hacker group, Anonymous, seem to have picked Kanye West and Kim Kardashian as their next targets. The group posted a video that starts with Kanye ranting about the Grammies. The group says they're fed up with Kanye's antics in his personal life and professional life. The group called him "ego-centric" and someone who "pollutes the planet even more with your bickering, loud mouth, over-grown ego, annoying influence, and mission-less message." The message said, "We once had a great deal of respect for you. We admired your art, creativity, original vision, and non-conformity in your work. But now, Anonymous has targeted you here with this message because you disgrace what you stand for…it pisses us off."

U.S. News & World Report 2013 Business School Rankings Recap
Mar 21, 2012 | 0 comments
Our post yesterday about the rosy employment outlook for current MBA grads was drawn in great part from data collected by U.S. News & World Report for its annual ranking of best business schools, released last week. In case you missed it, Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business once again tied for first, marking the fourth time in five years those two schools have shared the top spot. Last year, Stanford edged ahead enough to bump HBS down to number two, but no such luck this year.
In a now crowded field, U.S. News has been in the business school rankings business since before most everyone else. Its rankings are based on a weighted average of several indicators, including overall program quality, peer assessments, recruiter assessments, placement success, mean starting salary and bonus, average GMAT score and GPA and more.
To compile this year's rankings, 441 master's programs accredited by AACSB International were surveyed in fall and early 2012, 393 of which responded.
Rounding out the top 10 full-time programs this year were the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School (3), MIT Sloan's School of Management (4), Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management (4), the University of Chicago Booth School of Business (4), UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business (7), Columbia Business School (8), Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business (9), and the Yale School of Management (10). The only significant shifts here were that Tuck slipped down two spots (falling from 7th last year) allowing Haas and CBS to each climb, and that New York University's Stern School of Business, which tied for 10th last year with Yale, fell to 11th.
In addition to its best overall business school rankings, U.S. News also ranks MBA programs according to a range of 12 specialties, including international, part-time and executive MBA programs, as well as subject specialties such as accounting, finance, nonprofit and supply chain/logistics.
U.S. News cited a few noteworthy findings as part of the 2013 rankings. For example, it pointed to Kellogg's announcement that it will scale back its two-year MBA program and increase its one-year MBA program as
part of a trend among business schools to add fast-track MBA options like those more common in Europe.
There were also some shifts in the part-time MBA rankings, where changes to the methodology meant the introduction of factors such as how the number of part-time students at a school compares to the number of full-time students, entering part-time students' average undergraduate GPA, average GMAT score and average months of work experience. In the past, the part-time rankings have been based primarily on peer assessments from b-school deans and program directors.
With this new methodology, Kellogg claimed the number one spot for itself, no longer sharing it with Chicago Booth, as it had last year. This year, Booth shares second place with Haas, which moved up from third. Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business gets accolades for greatest advance in the part-time rankings this year. The D.C. school shot up from 21st to 14th.
As always, those of us at Clear Admit encourage prospective applicants to use rankings as just one component in a thorough investigation of schools and programs when trying to assess where to apply. To access the complete U.S. News 2013 Best Business Schools rankings, click here.

Tensions Mounting Between Blacks and Latinos Nationwide
Evidence of a divide between blacks and Hispanics mounting
By Susy Buchanan
African Town
"The issue of immigration is roiling within Black communities and has the potential to soon become a divisive issue of historic proportions," says Claud Anderson, president of the black think tank Harvest Institute and one who does not shy away from expressing disdain for Latinos. In a January 2004 report, Anderson claimed that Hispanic immigrants come to this country for the "public service benefits available to them because of the Black Civil Rights Movement."
Anderson says these Latinos invade black neighborhoods, and then use language and culture as barriers to economic integration. "Immigrants operate their businesses in Black communities, but they will not buy from black businesses and they rarely hire blacks as employees," Anderson writes. For him, these Hispanics are deliberately trying to "push blacks off the upward ladder of success."
Claud Anderson even has a conspiracy theory, claiming that the National Hispanic Party — a party no one else seems to have heard of — "declared a population war on Black Americans in the early 1970s at a mid-west meeting and crafted plans to numerically surpass and supplant Black Americans by the year 2000."
No matter that Anderson sounds like a racist.
No matter that he openly advocates racial discrimination.
To many Detroit politicians, Anderson is the man with a plan. Last year, a majority of the city council commissioned a $112,000 economic development study from Anderson. His recommendation was that the city spend $30 million to develop something called "African Town" — an inner-city business enclave created for blacks that would keep them from spending money in immigrant businesses.
Anderson and others argued that the city had provided incentives to Mexicantown and Greektown, two neighborhoods marked by ethnic businesses and restaurants. Why shouldn't it do the same for black businesses? After all, blacks made up 86% of Detroit's population, and black business needed help. Anderson went further. Hispanics, he said in the kind of comment that lit up many citizens of Detroit, "have surpassed Blacks now and made them third-class citizens."
In July 2004, the City Council passed a resolution approving African Town and the $30 million in casino revenues that it planned to disburse as grants and low-interest loans to "historically depressed documented residents of Detroit who are members of the city's majority under-served population" — blacks, in other words.
The blacks-only funding plan outraged many.
Detroit News columnist Nolan Finley wrote that the Harvest Institute report "mimics the language of the most fascist, right-wing anti-immigration groups, with headings like "A Majority Should Dominate and Act Like a Majority," and segments that warn of the dangers of Hispanics gaining a political voice. It could have been read on the public squares of Berlin in 1934 or on the Capitol steps of Birmingham, Ala., in 1964." L. Brooks Patterson, an elected official from a neighboring county, told a reporter that African Town was "one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard about and frankly insulting. How would residents of Detroit feel if I were to propose a Honky Town in [my county]? I would be run out of office, and rightfully so."
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who is African-American, vetoed African Town last fall. But the council overrode his veto, although it did ultimately strike the requirement that all African Town subsidies be limited to black applicants.
Unity, Politics and Progress
Nicolás Vaca devoted an entire chapter of his book to the 2001 mayoral race in Los Angeles, which pitted James Hahn, son of a well-known white politician who had very strong ties to the black community, against Antonio Villaraigosa, who was a relative newcomer. Hahn boasted endorsements from Earvin "Magic" Johnson, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and other important black figures — along with the support of the much more conservative white business community.
Hahn's black support sunk Villaraigosa. Hahn won with 59% of the overall vote — and a remarkable 80% of the votes from the black community.
It was a different story this year. In his first term, Hahn had fired popular Los Angeles Police Chief Bernard Parks, who is black. Many black leaders felt that Hahn had ignored them, and Johnson, Waters and others who supported Hahn the first time around now threw their support to Villaraigosa. For his part, Villaraigosa worked to build up his ties to black voters. Time after time, he stressed that blacks and Latinos had more to gain by working together than against one another.
It worked. On May 17, Villaraigosa became the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles in a century by a 17-point margin. He did it with half the city's black votes.
Much divides blacks and Latinos in America. The most recent figures show that median net worth for Hispanic households is $7,932 — almost $2,000 more than the $5,998 median for blacks. But when compared to whites — who, at $88,651, own more than 10 times either amount — the difference pales into insignificance.
The same could be said about many social issues that divide the black and Hispanic communities of the United States. Earl Ofari Hutchinson, a black Pacifica News Service commentator who wrote a radio editorial about the racial conflicts at Los Angeles' Jefferson High School this spring, may have said it best. "A couple of days after the Jefferson High clash, several hundred black and Latino parents and students held an anti-violence forum at the school," Hutchinson said. "Speaker after speaker denounced the fighting and pledged to work for peace. The hard truth, though, is that blacks and Latinos are undergoing a painful period of adjustment. They will find the struggle for power and recognition to be long and difficult. The parents and students who pledged to work for peace made an important start."

London: FIFA boss Sepp Blatter has admitted that it was a 'mistake' to choose Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup.
Blatter is believed to have voted for the USA to host the 2022 World Cup while his prospective rival for the presidency, UEFA's Michel Platini, voted for Qatar and has been closely linked in the public mind with the controversial plans for the 2022 tournament.
According to The Guardian, although Blatter insisted that 'one makes a lot of mistakes in their life', however, he admitted that although the report into Qatar said clearly it was too hot but a 'large majority' of the executive committee disregarded the report and decided to vote for Qatar.
The report mentioned that the FIFA inspection team ranked Qatar as the only 'high risk' option overall, yet it was still chosen by 14 of the 22 voting members of the executive committee in December 2010.
Blatter said the tournament would now be probably be played in the winter rather than the summer due to the heat, although he hinted that there were 'political considerations' that were brought to bear on the process.
However, Blatter insisted that Qatar, which spent huge sums on ambassadors and development programmes, had not 'bought' the World Cup.
But FIFA immediately released a statement saying that Blatter's recent take on Qatar has been misinterpreted, adding that at no stage 'did he question Qatar as the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup'.

Life is short but sweet for certain-DMB
My name is Kelley and I am a big, beautiful, strong, classy, confident woman. My life is sometimes crazy, always busy, but perfectly beautiful. My family is absolutely amazing, and my friends... The best. The only thing missing is Mr.Right. I am quite possibly the nicest person you will ever meet. I wear my heart on my sleeve and always treat others with the utmost respect. I will openly admit that I am pretty awesome :). I bite the inside of my lip when I am nervous, I can be a bit sassy and am full of one liners. I am a HUGE football fan. My fall/winter Sundays include yoga pants, a sweat shirt, family, cold beer and football. I have a 1 1/2 year old golden retriever that is like my child. His name is Wagner and he is the love of my life. If you don't like dogs...it will not work. I tell the worst jokes but I honestly think they are funny, I drink ice in my milk, always return the cart after shopping, and I brush my teeth in the shower. I spend way too much money on Mascara, I cry every time I watch the Notebook, and I suck at cooking...but am trying to do better!! I am very involved with my church and the youth there. I believe in helping shape the youth into a positive and impact full generation. While I am far from a prude, I would love for my partner to challenge me and walk with me in my faith. I do not care about the color of your skin, the number on your scale, the size of your wallet or the amount of hairs on your head. I care about finding someone who loves life as much as I do. I am not perfect...and let's face it...you aren't either. I am not looking for perfect...just perfect for me. I need someone who will stand for what he believes in, laugh at my stupid jokes, slow dance with me at the most random times, kiss my forehead, and will love me like crazy! Someone who wants to live a rich life...full of happiness, grace, and lots of love.

N.C. State has officially removed Sidney Lowe as its basketball coach, a source told CBSSports.com on Tuesday. The school will technically call the move a "resignation," but Lowe was never given the option to return next season, according to a source.
A press conference to announce the decision has been scheduled for 6 p.m. ET.
Lowe never finished better than ninth in the ACC during five seasons at the school. N.C. State had a 5-11 league record each of the past two seasons, and it will now focus on a coaching search its fans hope will deliver a capable candidate who can handle the pressure of working within miles of Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina's Roy Williams.
The Wolfpack haven't made the NCAA tournament since Herb Sendek took them to five straight from 2002 to 2006.
Sendek left N.C. State under pressure after the 2006 season.
He now coaches Arizona State.

The Us congress does not miss an opportunity to bend over for Israel. even when Israel does not ask for it
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is asking FBI Director Robert Mueller and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to put Palestinians released from prison in a swap for an Israeli soldier on the terrorist watch list.
In a letter this week to Mueller and Clinton, the lawmakers said the Palestinians who were convicted on various terrorism charges should not be allowed to enter the United States.
In the swap earlier this month, Israel released over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for tank crewman Sgt. Gilad Shalit, who had been held by Hamas militants in Gaza for more than five years.
The deal was extremely controversial and involved the release of multiple prisoners responsible for perpetrating terror attacks against Israel and serving life sentences.
On Sunday, opposition leader Tzipi Livni (Kadima) broke her silence over the prisoner exchange, stating that the deal "legitimizes and strengthens" Hamas.
In an interview with Israel Radio, Livni said that "Israel is losing its military deterrence," and that the next phase of the prisoner exchange, in which another 550 Palestinian prisoners are to be released, must be "coordinated with Abbas, rather than with Hamas."
Livni further stated that the peace process must be restarted as a "matter of national interest" which will show the world that it does not act solely after soldiers are kidnapped.
Signing the letter on Friday were 36 House Republicans and Democrats led by Rep. Howard Berman, the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Dubbed Prispa, it blends comfortable living zones with an abundance of natural light. The prototype uses wood as its primary material, while clay has been used to finish the interior walls, and the photovoltaic system has been mounted onto the roof's metallic boarding.
The structure's asymmetrical lines provides for a north-facing facade that is slightly angled and thus protects the building from harsh Romanian winter conditions, including strong northern winds and heavy snow falls. The southern side features large open windows and sliding doors that open out onto the shaded balcony terrace with overhead veranda. On the eastern and western facades, triple-glazed windows allow natural light to enter the home while also keeping out the heat and thus avoiding a greenhouse effect.
The home's high ceilings offer impressive interior dimensions and facilitate the use of an elevated zone positioned above the kitchen. This extra zone provides the small home with added space, suitable to be used as a guest bedroom, playroom or home office. The rest of the home is made up of open living, dining, kitchen and study areas, with a private master bedroom and bathroom.
The interior heating system utilizes infrared panels that are placed in the living room, bedroom and bathroom, while the heated air is recycled to minimize the amount of energy consumed. To protect the home from warming up during the summer months, large shutters have been fitted on the outside of the windows. Furthermore, a layer of dark colored stone has been laid at the base of the home's exterior, which attracts and stores heat from the sun during the day and releases it during the night.
The Prispa solar home is a great example of what can be done within a relatively small structure, however it does come with a not-so-small price tag. The prototype cost €120,000 (US$150,360) to build, but as the demand grows it is anticipated that the price could drop down to €90,000 ($113,000) in the first year, with the goal of further dropping down to €70,000 ($88,000).
That being said, it can be fully assembled in just 30 days, and comes with a ten-year warranty. The house can also be divided into pre-fabricated modules, in order to be easily transported by truck.
Nicely done - If it only had a water collection/purification system it would be ready for anything! I'm glad to see Europe and the rest of the world leading the smaller home/footprint revolution. We in the USA are finally starting to notice!Jansen Estrup
It would be helpful on all your articles about housing to indicate the square footage.Loving It All
Brilliant design. Agree with the comment about the value of an optional rainwater collection system though its value would depend upon the site location - great for Costa Rica but terrible for Tucson and of no value in Vancouver.
Best design would allow for altering roof pitch for optimum production year round from the solar panels. Angle should be equal to latitude of the site location. In Costa Rica a pitched roof would cut solar production by 15%.Calson

By 1920, 125 businessmen were active members of the Chamber of Commerce. In 1995 the name of the Chamber changed from the Rumford Chamber of Commerce to the River Valley Chamber of Commerce to represent 10 towns: Andover, Byron, Canton, Carthage, Dixfield, Hanover, Mexico, Peru, Roxbury, and Rumford. We are nestled in the mountains of Western Maine where we pride ourselves in being a four-season destination. With our 10-town community area, you will find many interesting shops, places of interest as well as historic sites, beautiful lakes and mountains and small town country charm and hospitality.

PORTLAND -- Two recently-sold northwest TV stations announced layoffs Monday, according to a report in The Oregonian.
Portland s KATU-TV laid off nine employees and its Seattle sister station KOMO-TV laid off 18 people, according to the report by Steve Duin.
The stations were part of Fisher Communications, a northwest broadcast group which was sold earlier this year to the Sinclair Broadcasting Group for $373 million.
Sinclair has been the subject of scrutiny and criticism for its recent expansion and methods of operating TV stations around the country, most recently in a critical review published in the Wall Street Journal.

Speed sailing on sand
Experience the grace of sailing, combined with the thrill of motor racing, with this popular and highly entertaining sport. Imagine yourself sitting a few inches from the ground and racing across the sand at speeds of up to (and over) 40mph with no brakes!
After an initial briefing, you'll experience your first sail at low speed and you'll practice how to stop your land yacht too! You'll then progress to a figure of eight course learning safe, controlled turns. If you show good control at this level, you can go on to learn a more difficult manoeuvre called a gybe turn. It's fantastic fun!
This experience is available on selected Saturday and Sunday dates, all year (excluding July and August).

HOUSTON -- One of the newest apartment complexes to hit the scene in the Montrose area is causing some controversy because of its location.
The complex, located at West Dallas and Montrose, is being built just feet away from century-old headstones.
Magnolia Cemetery has been there since 1884.
It s home to some recognizable names in Houston history, including Bammel, Halliburton, Wortham and Telge.
Residents who move into the five story complex next door will now get a view of those headstones and the others on the property.
This is not right, said concerned citizen Trisha Keel. If I have an open grave here and I m standing here crying my eyes out because I m putting someone in the ground, and I look up to see someone eating a bowl of cereal wearing their skivvies, it won t be good.
Trisha Keel doesn t have a family member buried at Magnolia. However, she feels so strongly that she wrote a letter to the mayor s office.
I could sit on their patio and prop my feet on top of the gravestone. It s too close, said Keel.
Keel feels it is disrespectful to the people coming to visit loved ones who have passed. She is also disturbed to think about residents living so close to the dead.
Those people who move along these edges will experience the decaying, dying energy, said Keel. This is not a place for new life.
Keel, a native Houstonian, acknowledges Houston s steady growth but believes this particular construction is setting a dangerous precedent.
This isn t going to be stopped, but there should never be another one ever. That s why I m speaking up, added Keel.
Glen Telge, president of Magnolia Cemetery, says he wasn t thrilled about the new complex at first.
I feel like Magnolia Cemetery is a gem in the city of Houston. It s like a sacred spot, said Glen Telge.
He has since warmed up to the new neighbor and is trying to keep an open mind.
It comes down to what can you really do about development. There s some things we have control over and other things we don t, said Telge.
JLB partners, which is the developer and builder of the complex, purchased the property from AIG a year and a half ago.
A JLB spokesman says the corporation met with the cemetery association and has spent a significant amount of resources making sure the process has been respectful.
He also pointed out that a wall will eventually be completed around the backside of the complex to separate it from the cemetery.

This may just be my most favorite hostel I've ever stayed in! My family of four stayed there and were sorry we only stayed for one night. We ended up getting two private doubles, that appeared brand new!! The staff was very friendly, the pub next door was a lovely spot for a beer, and the breakfast was FABULOUS and filled with local products to sample. We fell in love with the town of Kamnik, and don't know why it isn't more prominent in local guide books. It's also easy to find. :P
