An exceptional 'Hundred Boys' large Zitan Brush Pot
late 18th/early 19th century, deeply carved with numerous small figures at various pursuits on a rocky mountainside below clouds, one side with the boys entertaining a dragon with musical instruments beneath pine and other trees, natural split, base missing, also other minor damage, 24.5cm The Hundred Boys is a popular Chinese subject and lends itself to the imagination of the painter, sculpture or craftsman, for example a scroll by Leng Mei (fl.1700-1742) from the Yongzheng Period was with Sotheby's Hong Kong 9 October 2012, Lot 3008. No other Zitan brush pot of this importance seems to be recorded. The carving of numerous small figures - often Buddhist monks, or families - on a rocky mountainside is familiar from Canton carving of ivory card cases, fan guards and boxes. The monastery of Tiantai Shan in Zhejiang Province in the Sir Victor Sassoon Collection, illustrated in 'Chinese Ivories, The Shang to the Qing', OCS 1984, pl.269 reflects the idiom. Another mountain, this carved in bamboo, is illustrated in 'Chinese Bamboo Carving', HK1978, no. 195 and a closer parallel is with a brush pot in the same book, no. 76, dated to the late 18th century. /

Defense Secretary Ash Carter looks to Silicon Valley for help with its new cyber strategy. But Carter doesn't have too much time to get the partnership off the ground before the Obama administration leaves and another one takes its place. Steve Grundman, George Lund fellow at the Atlantic Council and former deputy defense undersecretary for industrial affairs and installations, tells In Depth with Francis Rose why Carter should focus on the wins he can earn now.

Steve Grundman, George Lund Fellow, Atlantic Council
The Defense Business Board said the Pentagon can reduce its spending by $125 billion by getting rid of contracts, offering early retirements and modernizing its business operations. The Board is looking specifically at large commercial firms like Lockheed Martin and Pepsi Co. as inspiration for how to modernize DoD's business portfolio. Steve Grundman is M.A. and George Lund Fellow at the Atlantic Council, and former DoD assistant secretary for industrial affairs and installations. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he said the Pentagon should be wary of following examples from those large firms.

Alex Ward, Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security, Atlantic Council
Almost all the pieces are in place to move some meaningful defense acquisition reform. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) are the new chairmen of the Armed Services committees in Congress, and they both have a body of work in that subject. Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, Frank Kendall, are on board with an acquisition overhaul. And the likely nomination of Ash Carter as the new Defense Secretary puts the man behind the Better Buying Power concept at the top job of the Pentagon. Alex Ward is assistant director of the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security at the Atlantic Council. He's also my guest for Pentagon Solutions today. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he said the anticipation for reform is mostly just hype.

Type of Surgery
Last updated: 11/24/2009
Sacral nerve stimulation, also known as sacral neuromodulation, is a procedure in which the sacral nerve at the base of the spine is stimulated by a mild electrical current from an implanted device. It is done to improve functioning of the urinary...
tract, to relieve pain related to urination, and to control fecal incontinence.
Much of the difficulty in brain surgery recovery comes with healing of the skull and covering of the brain. This video shows that a tumor in a particular location can be removed by entering through the nose, rather than the skull. The endoscopic endonasal approach or EEA is associated with rapid recovery times compared to most other types of brain surgery.
Related Videos
Other Information
Sacral nerve stimulation, also termed sacral neuromodulation, involves the implantation of a programmable stimulator under the dura matar which delivers low amplitude electrical stimulation to the S3 or S4 root. Currently, the FDA has approved InterStim Therapy, by Medtronic, as a safe sacral nerve stimulator for treatment of Urinary Urge Incontinence, Urinary Frequency, and Urinary Retention. Sacral nerve stimulation is under investigation as treatment for a host of other conditions, though.
Other Information
On neurosurgery it is important to have new types of procedures, like stereotactic radiosurgery that is a newer type of focused radiation that has been used with some success for patients with metastatic brain tumors

The story concerns a New York couple who are struggling to make ends meet. Gerry, the wife (Claudette Colbert) comes up with a ZanyScheme to divorce her husband Tom (a struggling inventor played by [=Joel McCrea=]) so she can get a new rich husband to help her ex-husband with his plans for an above-ground airport. Gerry runs away to Palm Beach to get her divorce, Tom right behind her because he disapproves of the whole thing, and she captures the eye of one of the richest men in the world, Hackensacker (Rudy Vallee). Tom butts in and has to pretend to be his wife's brother, and he becomes the target of affection from the multiple-divorced sister of Hackensacker, the princess Centimillia (Mary Astor). As they get deeper and deeper into this scheme, Gerry begins to have second thoughts.HilarityEnsues even further.----!!This film provides examples of:* AbhorrentAdmirer: Toto is this to the Princess.* AffectionateNickname: The Princess calls her brother "Snoodles".* AlcoholHic: One of the members of the Ale and Quail Club.* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: The Ale and Quail Club shooting up their boxcar after too much booze.* AllWomenAreLustful: The Princess.-->'''Tom:''' ([[ItMakesSenseInContext pretending to be Captain [=McGloo=] ]]) Don't you ever talk about anything but [[UnusualEuphemism Topic A]]?-->'''Princess Centimillia:''' Is there anything else?** Gerry, to a lesser extent; she wants to leave Tom, but every time [[ZipMeUp she needs someone to zip up her dress]] and Tom steps in to help...* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Toto speaks an indistinguishable (presumably European) language.* BookEnds: The opening and closing wedding scenes.* BrickJoke: The opening sequence.* BrutalHonesty: The princess is this towards Toto.--> Princess: "Toto, this is Captain [=McGloo=].

20.07.04 - By Bernie McCoy: Agile, mobile and hostile was the intentionally alliterative description that Alonzo S. "Jake" Gaither, that wonderful gentleman and legendary football coach at Florida A&M, used to describe the qualities he looked for "in his boys." Those qualities are also extremely helpful when assessing a good fighter. Laila Ali is agile, mobile and hostile in the ring and those attributes were on display Saturday night, on a PPV telecast from Bowie, MD, as she dismantled a game, but decidedly, overmatched Nikki Eplion.
Eplion had exhibited a touch of a hostility of her own during the pre-fight press conference, stating, "I don't think she [Ali] will have an answer for [my] big left hand." Eplion's plan also included adjusting to "anything she has to bring to the table" and, true to her plan, Eplion came out with hostile intentions in the first round. However, as that increasingly venerable ring philosopher, Mike Tyson, once said, "Everybody has a plan....until they get hit." That concisely summarizes the fight Saturday night: Eplion had a plan....she got hit....and the plan went missing. In the second round Eplion began going backwards and there's only been one fighter who could ever punch effectively going backwards and that fighter, named Ali, wasn't the one in the ring in Maryland Saturday night.
In the third and fourth rounds, Eplion, retreating from the pursuing Laila Ali, found the ropes and the corners with her back much too often and hit the canvas four times before the bout was properly stopped with thirty seconds remaining in the fourth round.
Lailia Ali thus gained her seventeenth straight win and fourteenth KO, while exhibiting those qualities that Coach Gaither and fight trainers have long treasured. The unfortunate aspect of the action on Saturday is that those qualities were not on display against more formidable opposition. Eplion, a former Toughwoman winner, sporting a 14-1 record prior to Saturday, was coming off a one-sided loss to Leaticia Robinson last February in Huntington, WV. At the end of that bout, the three judges gave Robinson 24 of 30 rounds, in a venue that was essentially Eplion's hometown area, so it's a valid surmise that the Robinson win was probably close to a shutout. It was reported that Robinson was "considered" for an Ali matchup, but "the parties couldn't agree on money." It can be assumed that a Ali/Robinson matchup would have been considerably more competitive than the bout on Saturday.
It has also been reported that Ali will climb back into the ring underneath the Mike Tyson/Danny Williams PPV bout in less than two weeks in Louisville. No opponent for Ali has been named at this date, but, ignoring for the moment, the competitive implications of fighting twice in less than two weeks, it is doubtful that Leaticia Robinson will be in the other corner on July 30 in Louisville.
It's no major headline to anyone who follows the sport of Women's boxing that the fight for Laila Ali is with Ann Wolfe and that questions about Ali and her place in the sport will persist until that match is made. Ali has, with relative ease, defeated everyone who has been put in front of her in the almost five years she has been campaigning as a professional fighter. It's also true that due a particular dearth of quality fighters in her weight division and what can be, kindly, classified as "careful" matchmaking, Ali has yet to be competitively tested.
Ann Wolfe has been campaigning for an Ali bout for at least two years and the usual suspects have proffered the usual reasons for the bout not happening: "Wolfe is not ready"; "The bout needs to be properly promoted"; "The bout will happen, eventually, when Ann Wolfe is an attraction and the money is right." The fact is that Ann Wolfe is ready and has been for quite some time. Wolfe's stunning one punch KO of Vonda Ward is proof positive of her "readiness" and a "clip" of that one punch knockout is as good as any promotion needs to get. Money is always an issue in boxing, but in the case of Ali/Wolfe, it, hopefully, won't be utilized as an excuse to not make the fight. Showtime, ESPN, even HBO, among the "boxing" networks, cannot, even at their most shortsighted, ignore the value and compelling attraction of Ali/Wolfe. At the very least, considering the fare that was presented from Maryland on Saturday, Ali/Wolfe is a PPV event waiting to be scheduled.
Laila Ali is a very good fighter; her record and her performance in Maryland on Saturday night proved it once more. Laila Ali has the requisite qualities that Coach Gaither looked for those many years in Tallahassee, and then some. Ann Wolfe, currently waiting down in the heavy heat of Texas, is also a good fighter who would probably agree with the assessment of Ali's mobility, agility and hostility. Ann Wolf's question is: Is Laila Ail also available?

ESCONDIDO: Moving Marriott parking garage might bolster downtown
Change could jeopardize hotel, long-term city plans
"A parking garage by itself is not the highest and best use of that lot," said Waldron, whose family owns a T-shirt shop nearby.
Abed was particularly critical of the timing.
"It would damage the city's credibility to change the project after we've spent three years working out an agreement with the developer," he said. "This would put the financing for the hotel at risk."
The hotel project, which was declared dead because of financing problems at least twice, was revived two weeks ago when developer Craig Clark and some partners agreed to provide a $4 million contingency to cover possible cost overruns on the $60 million project.
The city's subsidy to the project would be $10.7 million, with much of that for the parking garage.
The project was delayed more than a year by a lawsuit filed by Crone and some other merchants claiming the developer's proposal would not adequately mitigate the project's impact on downtown parking. That suit was settled in December 2007.
Clark, the hotel developer, initially suggested that the parking garage should be built at Maple and Valley, but it would have been underneath 127 condominiums. That approach was abandoned because of public opposition and the early stages of the real estate crash.
Clark did not return a phone call Friday.
Call staff writer David Garrick at 760-740-5468.

By Chauncey Telese
If you've seen the trailer for "Year One", you've basically seen the movie.
I won't than complain about the acting because there isn't any as Jack Black plays Jack Black and Michael Cera plays the same character he played in "Superbad", "Juno", etc. I also won't complain about the story because really there isn't one. Instead I will answer the only question that needs to be answered. Should you pay ten bucks to see this movie?
"Year One," while funny, would be better served in your Netflix queue or as a comedy to watch when there is nothing else on.
For those that haven't seen the trailer the film is about an inept hunter named Zed played by Jack Black and his geeky gatherer friend Oh, played by Michael Cera, who are banished from their village and they embark on an adventure coming into contact with many characters from the bible. Those encounters offer up some great cameos such as comedian David Cross and Paul Rudd as Cain and Abel, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin from "Superbad"), as Issac. The movie's jokes are mostly derived from slapstick humor or just toilet humor which makes this movie work for guys.
Though I wasn't surprised that this movie would be the way it is, I am disappointed because it is directed by comedy legend Harold Ramis who starred or directed in some of the greatest comedies of all time i.e. "Ghostbusters", "Stripes", "Groundhog Day". I was hoping that this film to be in the vain of "Monty Python's Life of Brian", and Mel Brook's "History of the World Part I". Oh well, I guess that would've been asking for a lot these days.
For all of the ladies (or guys trying to score points with the ladies), I recommend checking out "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.
Thank you as always for reading and be sure to check out my review of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."

The electric vehicle (EV) cluster is one of the state's 21 priorities. With federal funding for electric vehicle infrastructure and The Electrification of Transportation initiatives, momentum is building. The Oregon University System, a number of state agencies and a coalescing group of EV entrepreneurs are pushing Oregon forward as a major player in the global marketplace. This thesis reviews an Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium study to determine whether the institutions of the Oregon University System and the state government are meeting the needs of EV entrepreneurs in this effort. The review concludes that Oregon's institutions need to further develop their collaborative networks with entrepreneurs for Oregon to be a competitor. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

I conducted 20 formal and informal interviews with undocumented Latino/a immigrants living in Eugene and Springfield in order to find out how these immigrants maneuver the system in order to acquire housing, work, social resources, and other things that they need to survive. These interviews ultimately revealed that immigrants use social capital to circumvent these barriers and that the largest barriers that they face to survival and integration all ultimately revolve around a lack of access to a government issued photo ID/driver's license and language barriers. After conducting these interviews and researching how other jurisdictions have worked to integrate immigrants, I offer specific local planning and public policy recommendations for how to collaboratively integrate undocumented Latino/a immigrants into our community. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

This inaction at the federal level has prompted local governments to take the lead on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through Climate Action Plans (CAP). This thesis explores the environmental discourses that are at work in the CAP adoption process of three cities that historically vote for democratic candidates and republican candidates, respectively, in federal elections. As a qualitative study, my inquiry evaluates the CAP adoption process through an analysis of public officials' statements, public comments and editorials, and CAP content. John Dryzek's eight environmental discourses are applied to highlight the discourses that are reflected in the data obtained from public officials, the public, and policy outcomes. This examination reveals opportunities of bipartisan agreement and provides insights for governments to move past the politics of climate change. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

(some col.) In a time of rising inequality and declining social mobility in the United States, how might planners work toward a more just society? Numerous theories of structural inequality have been developed to address these issues, and the notion of internal colonialism is among them. As a theory of inequality that identifies patterns of economic domination, and the attendant subordination of certain populations, internal colonialism theory first gained popularity during the Third World liberation movement, and rose to prominence among minority groups in the United States, before fading into relative obscurity. Does this theory still hold relevance today? This study traces the development of Oakland, California through the lens of internal colonialism theory and uncovers the roots of the highly unequal conditions that exist in the city today. A critical reapplication of this theory reveals its ongoing utility as both an explanatory model and a guidepost for charting a path forward.

KUANTAN: A temporary Barisan Nasional operations post under a canopy in Kampung Padang here was torched in an apparent arson attack.
Taman Impianku Umno branch chairman Abdullah Mohd Sidek said the incident had happened at about 3.30am Saturday when several people nearby noticed the banners around the canopy were on fire.
"None of our workers were there at that time. The residents here were the ones who helped put out the fire," he said when contacted.
Abdullah said no one saw who had started the fire but they found a plastic bottle believed to have contained petrol.
He said several banners, flags, posters and parts of the canopy were scorched in the incident.
Abdullah said he had lodged a police report.
Meanwhile, Taman Impianku PKR deputy branch chief M. Manoharan said he and four campaign workers were at their operations room nearby and called for help when they saw the fire.
"What I am sure of is this is not the work of our members. We are all from the same neighbourhood and get along well with each other," he said when met at the scene.
When contacted, Kuantan OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Jasmani Yusoff declined to comment.

Durant gets triple-double in 119-74 Thunder rout
"We don't have a number of our guys tonight. The guys who get a chance to play, they never know. This could be their last opportunity."
Westbrook scored 29 points, making all 12 of his free throws, and Ibaka finished with 18 points, seven rebounds and three blocks.
The huge lead gave coach Scott Brooks the whole fourth quarter to rest his starters and give playing time to new acquisitions Derek Fisher and Ronnie Brewer. Fisher, who signed as a free agent after Oklahoma City traded third-string point guard Eric Maynor last week, gained a spot in the rotation and missed a pair of 3-pointers in each half.
Brewer, acquired in a trade with New York last week, played the entire fourth quarter along with Fisher and had five points.
"They bring toughness. They bring experience. They just know how to play," Brooks said. "They know where to be, they know when to get out of the way and they know when to make plays."
The Thunder never trailed and pulled away after a cranking up their defense late in the first half. New Orleans started out 18 for 36 from the field and was within 48-43, then made just nine of 41 shots (22 percent) after that. Oklahoma City recorded five blocks in the first 3 1/2 minutes of the second half and never looked back.
"It wasn't just not making shots. We couldn't get a stop, either," Williams said.
Oklahoma City had allowed four straight opponents to shoot 46 percent or better before holding Chicago to an NBA season-low 29.1 percent in a 102-72 blowout Sunday night.
The Hornets rallied back from an early 14-point deficit with nine straight points to get within 45-41 on Al-Farouq Aminu's tip-in of a miss by Greivis Vasquez.
Durant responded with a 3-pointer on Oklahoma City's next possession, sparking a 17-4 flurry to finish the half by the Thunder and push the lead to 62-45.
Notes: Williams said the swelling in Davis' sprained left shoulder would be key in when he's able to return. New Orleans' next game is Friday night against Detroit. "Just talking to our trainers, optimistically he's probably day-to-day. We'll re-evaluate him when we get home tonight or tomorrow and see how he feels," Williams said. ... The 38-year-old Fisher signed with Oklahoma City for the final part of the season for a second straight year, and Brooks says it's not just about his locker room presence from winning five titles with the Los Angeles Lakers. "Derek gives us a great deal of experience and he's still a player. Trust me, we're not bringing him in here just to tell us good stories about Kobe and Shaq, how they won championship and he was the guy," Brooks said. "We're not going to eat S'mores together. He's going to play."

Real estate analysts are responsible for managing their organization's real estate holdings. Analysts continuously watch real estate markets where their company or clients have property, ensuring that any changes in that region are prepared for and any positive shifts can be capitalized on. Analysts are in charge of researching new areas to invest in and identifying opportune moments to sell current property. An analyst's responsibilities may include preparing weekly or monthly meetings for upper management to keep them abreast of developments, as well as working with buyers and answering their questions about the company's properties.Read More...
The majority of real estate analysts work with companies that hold significant real estate investments. These companies need analysts' expertise to ensure the stability of investment portfolios, as well as to aid in increasing their holdings. Analysts are responsible for minimizing the risk that these and future investments carry, while also carefully analyzing these regions. This is especially true for analysts working with companies specializing in structured finance. Whether working as a team or on a project alone, the analyst carries the responsibility for those purchases.
Analysts looking for employment are generally expected to hold at least a bachelor's degree in finance, business administration, or a related field. Depending on the seniority of the position, employers may ask for one to three years of experience working in commercial real estate.
Real Estate Analysts report using a pretty varied skill set on the job. Most notably, facility with Argus, Financial Modeling, and Market Analysis are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 25 percent, 12 percent, and 11 percent, respectively. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Microsoft Excel. Those educated in Financial Analysis tend to be well versed in Financial Modeling and Real Estate.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $55K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $70K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $72K in this role. For some reason, Real Estate Analysts with more than two decades of experience report lower paychecks overall; the median sum in this group sits near $66K.
Home to some of the best pay for Real Estate Analysts, New York offers exceptional salaries, 29 percent above the national average. Real Estate Analysts will also find cushy salaries in San Francisco (+20 percent), Boston (+13 percent), Houston (+9 percent), and Los Angeles (+9 percent). Dallas is home to the smallest salaries in the field, lagging the national average by 13 percent. Austin and Miami are a couple other places where companies are known to pay below the median — salaries are 13 percent lower and 10 percent lower, respectively.

Last week was a wash in regards to running. Mike and I were driving to Florida and running was just not a priority as we traveled city to city. I kind of followed week 3 of marathon training, but I was more focused on just getting some miles under my belt.
I got a local gym's free 3-day trial/guest pass and tried out Les Mills' Body Pump! I've read nothing but positive reviews of BP and have been wanting to check it out (none of the gyms back home offered Les Mills classes). I LOVE the class and may get a membership at that gym just so I can continue to go to BP. As much I love running outdoors, the heat and humidity here is no joke! I definitely enjoy running indoors a little bit more now.

The major outlet for propylene glycol (PG) is in unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) used in surface coatings and glass fibre reinforced resins. The second-largest consumer is functional fluids such as de-icing and antifreeze. PG is also consumed in plasticisers and hydraulic brake fluids. Other uses are in non-ionic detergents and as a humectant in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, animal foodstuffs and tobacco industries. PG is an excellent solvent and extractant.
Overall demand in Europe is steady. All major consuming sectors are taking normal volumes and supply is currently balanced to long. Supply of dipropylene glycol (DPG) and tripropylene glycol (TPG), however, is tight and demand is quite strong. The US PG market is fairly balanced but demand in the key Chinese market remains weak.
The European market saw flat growth last year compared with 2004. However, sales in the de-icing sector were up in quarter one this year and the PG market is expected to return to growth in 2006. Exports also dropped off last year, as new capacity went online in Asia. Nihon Oxirane, the Sumitomo Chemical/Lyondell joint venture, started up a 90 000 tonne/year plant in Japan in April 2005. CNOOC and Shell Petrochemicals' 60 000 tonne/year plant went onstream in China in February 2006.
European prices have been fairly stable but are now experiencing downward pressure in a very lacklustre spot market. Prices for industrial grade are quoted in the range €1130–1160/tonne but buyers are scarce. Producers are trying to secure a rollover for July but players predict that prices will slip during the summer lull by €20–€50/tonne. Margins are reasonable, although propylene costs have risen by €5/tonne this quarter. Suppliers are expected to push for better margins in September/October.
PG is produced commercially by the hydration of propylene oxide (PO). DPG and TPG, and small volumes of higher glycols, are also produced. PG production is driven by PO availability and extra PG can be produced to balance PO. The reaction between PO and water takes place at a temperature of 200°C and 12 bar pressure. The amount of water is controlled to favour PG production. The reaction mixture is dehydrated by evaporation and the various glycols are separated by distillation.
PG processes are being developed based on carbohydrates and glycerols, which are cheaper than petroleum-based feedstocks. Metabolic Explorer has been granted a patent in France for its fermentation process. The University of Missouri has developed technology that is based on converting natural glycerine. Archer Daniels Midland plans to build a plant using agricultural raw materials to produce pharmaceutical and industrial grade PG.
Global growth is put at 4.5%/year to 2010. The strongest growth is in Asia, mainly China, and demand in east Asia is forecast at more than 7%/year to 2010. No major projects have been announced although Lyondell is in talks with Sinopec for a project in Ningbo, China, producing 100 000 tonne/year of PG. This would be part of Zhenhai Refining and Chemical's proposed cracker complex to go onstream in 2009.
PG may see some substitution by lower-priced glycerine in specific sectors but producers do not see this as a major threat as there are many applications where glycerine can not be used as an alternative.

Bad Neuenahr
Favorite thing: while Ahrweiler is more hands on approch, Bad Neuenahr is hand in the pocket or better, you must have deep pockets......Bad Neuenahr is for the more rich and Gamblers. The Casino one of the oldest in Germany.
Kaiser Wilhem II a frequented visitor here.
but the Town has also a wonderful setting right beside the River Rhine and the Promenade a wee beauty. People also flock to the Health Spa, which has an excellent Reputation in Germany
- Spa and Resort
Favorite thing: and the beautiful wee region of the best red wine you can find in Germany
Fondest memory: many daytrips,walking in a beautiful area of the Eifelregion and of course wine tasting, that will stay most in my memory.ca30km from Andernach, an easy drive up the Rhine's scenic route.check the map on the intro page.

Disabled Access in Neuenahr-Ahrweiler
Favorite thing: Disabled Access in Neuenahr-Ahrweiler is excellent --surprisingly especially in the old town of Ahrweiler. One of the few places in Germany that really make disabled visitors welcome. All large public car parks around the city walls have disabled parking spaces. There are enough disabled restrooms arond. The pedestrianised streets have cobblestones, but not those really nasty ones. The Ahr valley is wide and almost flat here.

Enjoyed this quick energetic Novella. Samantha Warren did an excellent job recapping from Book 1, Vampire Assassin without overdoing it, giving you just enough to remind you what happened, or give you enough to move forward with it if you didn't read the first book.
I really like the characters and found them entertaining and engaging. Jane has to trust people that she doesn't know to help teach her the ways to be a vampire. If it wasn't for the journal that Steven left her, she would be even more lost.
Well written and enjoyable. Quick, upbeat, entertaining and easy to read! Can't wait to read what happens in book #3. You got me hooked now Samantha!!
