19.11.06 - By Wray Edwards: Many fighters from Feather to Lightweight can remain competitive into their middle or even late thirties. Two critical factors which contribute to the long or the short of it are physical and mental battle scars. Having now lost four of his last five fights with ever increasing punishment, it is no wonder that as he sat on the canvass with the thousand yard stare, Erik Morales shook his head in resignation.
Even as he walked to the ring, he had the look of one on the way to the dentist for a root canal. With half-smiles and eyes down he seemed reluctant to even be there. Manny didnt look much better, but at least had a game face. Here was a guy who had recently been clearly out-pointed by Zahir Raheem, stepping into the ring with, IMO, a rising, top five PFP fighter well on this side of the hill. What was he thinking? Knowing when to quit is half the game in Boxing. It enables one to avoid a senseless beating, especially at the end of a grand career. There are those who say, He should have gone out on his shield.
I would much rather see that reality check, blank stare, than have a great fighter sacrifice himself and his future health to the blood lust of the fans, or some masochistic ethic.
Kostya Tszyu stepped back v Hatton. Frazier stayed home v Ali and many other fighters have hit the wall and knew it, or decided to bag this one, and get back to the camp and train better for a rematch. Of course a clean KO avoids these messy decisions, but a series of evermore punishing knock-downs or thrashings which clearly and accurately predict the outcome, should be taken as enticements to use common sense.
Last nights fight was an excellent example of a professional fighter yielding to the dictum that discretion is the better part of valor. Boxing matches are much, much more than just sex and violence. They are, many times, a passion play in which we see, in microcosm, great decisions being made which bear one ones honor, reputation and future health and wealth. Morales-Paquiao III was such a fight.
ROUND ONE was the usual parade lap as the drivers heat their tyres and jostle with the competition, scraping their hooves in the dirt and snorting. Manny was more aggressive and was exercising his new-found right to good effect. Its kinda like that first hit in a football game
it chases away the butterflies and sets the tone for action. Pacman took the round as Erik did not seem ready to start fast as pre-fight speculation had predicted.
The first significant punch came with 1:02 to go in the First Round as Erik threw a left and Manny countered with his right over Eriks arm as Morales re-cocked his left to double up but missed as he fell to his right from the force of Mannys right. The last minute of the round got things up to speed as Morales began charging, driving Manny to the ropes at times. The first time against the ropes Paquiao did a pretty humorous foot shuffle of which Ali would have been quite proud.
I noticed that unless Erik was in full attack, his arm motions seemed a bit listless, whereas almost every stroke by Manny had tension and purpose.
ROUND TWO cranked up in earnest at 2:32 as Paquiao made his first really furious charge with a four or five punch combination. Erik just did avoid getting significantly tagged by any of them, but from the look of it, it was just a matter of time. After some pretty good action which saw both fighters drive each other across the ring to the ropes making good contact
at 1:11Manny caught Erik with a left just below Morales right ear.
Just before that Erik had Manny at the ropes and falling at a forty-five degree angle to his left. Erik misses a left and a right
Manny throws a right which reached full extension before hitting Erik in the face
Erik counters right which sails over Pacs right shoulder as he ducks forward. Then, before Morales can recover his right guard, Manny throws the sweeping left and Morales goes down on left knee and right glove. Erik took his eight and gutted it out to the end of the round in heavy punch and counter with Manny.
At 2:05, after picking up where they left off at the end of Two, Manny sells a punch to Eriks mid-section which causes Morales to drop his left guard, whereupon Manny throws a crushing right chin-checker to Eriks head who reels and counterattacks. At 1:36 Morales throws a straight left at too great a range and allows the glove to drop during recovery from which he tries to double up. Alas his second left was thrown from too low allowing a stiff and fully loaded Pacman right to check off Eriks head.
Manny follows the retreating Morales with repeated lefts driving him to ring center. At 1:27 Manny throws a right straight down the pipe between Eriks gloves. The punch folds him up as he reels back from a Pacman half-right which is followed by a point blank left which drops the fading Morales to his right knee and into the ropes. Morales rolls right with his head near the canvass and struggles to his feet. Ref Vic Drakulich checks the fighter during the eight and prepares to reset the match.
Just then Manny comes moving in as Vic looks over his shoulder to get Paquiaos eye for the restart. Upon seeing Manny moving in before being invited Vic sends him back to make sure Pacs first move is upon his (the Refs) explicit instruction. Then one of the HBO crew (Possibly the irritating white-haired geezer) yells out What is he doing? as if the Ref is giving Erik too much time. Thankfully, Manny Steward explains to the dolt that a fighter must remain in a neutral corner after a KD until called out by the Ref, rather than just creeping up behind the Refs back before hes ready to resume.
Back in action, they both let it all hang out with tremendous shots and contact. Erik hit Manny with one shot equal to or better than the blast delivered to Mannys head by JMM back in May of 04, which caused the TV image of Mannys head to blur so much it looked like it was being sucked through a wormhole into a parallel universe. The Pacster walked right through it.
Then, as Erik retreated with his left guard at about mid chest Manny set his left foot and lunged a right which fell short, followed by a huge left right on Eriks kisser. Any fencing master would have been pleased. Morales went down pretty much in the same place he had the last two times, but this time he drew his knees up, rested his forearms on them in the realization that his boxing career was probably over. At 0:09 he took a deep breath, shook his head and made peace with himself.
The stats showed Manny to have been fully twice as effective as Morales. Mannys camp and fans were transported by his victory; A great victory also for Shelley Finkel
couldnt happen to a better guy.
It has been a pure pleasure to watch a scruffy, one-dimensional fighter from the Philippines mature into a world class boxer with expanded skills and repertoire move into the mainstream of our sport. One thing has not changed though: Mannys focused aggression.
For what its worth, IMO Erik should retire. He has been there and done that
so many of us hope you find a new direction and go with our thanks and admiration El Terrible. See you at the fights.

Broadway's Sieber Reprises Spamalot Role in UK
Editorial Staff • West End • 28 Apr 2006
On Broadway, Sieber has also appeared in Chicago, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Into the Woods, Beauty and the Beast, Triumph of Love and A Christmas Carol. His TV credits include It's All Relative, Two of a Kind, Sex and the City, Ed, Guiding Light, All My Children and Another World.
Sieber and British-born Curry will be joined in the London cast by local talent including, announced to date, David Birrell (as Patsy), Tom Goodman-Hill (Sir Lancelot), Robert Hands (Sir Robin) and Hannah Waddingham (Lady of the Lake). In January 2007, multiple Olivier Award winner Simon Russell Beale, who took over from Curry as King Arthur on Broadway, will take over from him again, once he has finished his season of plays at the National (See News, 15 Feb 2006).
"Lovingly ripped off" from the screenplay of the Pythons' 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail by original Python Eric Idle, Spamalot tells the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in their quest to find the religious relic – and features a chorus line of dancing divas (with serfs), flatulent Frenchmen, killer rabbits and a legless knight.
Spamalot has a book and lyrics by Idle, who has also co-written the music with John Du Prez. The London production reunites the Broadway creative team including set and costume designer Tim Hatley, lighting designer Hugh Vanstone, choreographer Casey Nicholaw and director Mike Nichols. Spamalot, which opened at Broadway's Shubert Theater in March 2005 – won last year's Tony for Best Musical (See News, 6 Jun 2005), as well as Best Musical prizes at New York's Drama Desk and Out Critics' Circle Awards.
The Monty Python musical is produced by Boyett Ostar Productions, which has presented the Broadway transfers of National Theatre's The Pillowman, Democracy, Jumpers and, just opened to rave reviews on Broadway this week, The History Boys.

If Thousands are driven by unseen forces. Call them whatever you like: gods, goddesses, maybe even aliens. (After all, band founders Aaron Molina and Christian McShane are true UFO believers.) There's no doubt that something strange fated the Duluth-based group's first excursions into drone sounds.
On a winter's day in the late '90s, a friend of McShane's went on a hiking trip in Wisconsin's Douglas County Forest. During his long trek through the aspens' lengthening shadows, he found a keyboard, just sitting in the snow. Upon returning home, the friend called McShane to tell him about it, and McShane promptly drove out to the forest, trudged deep into the woods, and rescued the dead leaf- and bug-bedecked instrument--a Micromoog--from its frosty prison. But what's even more amazing than the fact that the keyboard was nestled like some woolly beast in the forest is that McShane actually found it among the area's 268,843 acres of trees.
"I took it home, cleaned it up, and it worked perfectly," he recalls. "I was a guitarist at the time, though, so I just threw it in a closet. If I had known it was worth, like, $2,000, I probably would have sold it right away."
The Moog sat in McShane's closet for more than two years. Then, in August of 2000, more than two years after the Douglas County Forest experience, the classically trained vocalist and guitarist joined up with punk-rock bassist Molina. They decided to chuck their respective musical backgrounds and take up instruments that they, as their website puts it, "had no idea of how to play." Molina opted for the more organic stuff--guitar, vocals, drums. McShane chose electronics: He dragged the keyboard out from its resting place. Finally, the Moog was out of the woods and the closet, so to speak.
If Thousands' sound has expanded considerably since that magical Moog moment, and the change came in part from the recent addition of Logan Erickson. An accomplished keyboardist, the 18-year-old prodigy is also a master circuit bender who creatively rewires Speak & Spells and Casio SK-1 samplers to make noises their creators never could have imagined--clicks, whirrs, hums, crackles, bangs, and some of the strangest approximations of human speech you'll ever hear. Erickson climbed aboard too late to play on either of If Thousands' forthcoming releases, Yellowstone (Chairkickers Music) and Lullabye (Silber Media), but his instruments are integral, but subtle, on both.
Given the near-identical instrumentation and back-to-back recording, If Thousands' two albums are remarkably different. Both McShane and Molina insist that Lullabye is intended to be just what its title suggests: a sleep-inducing device. But such use of the music works only at the suggested super-low playback volume. Turn Lullabye up and you'll hear a seething mass of improvised sound, with guitars and electronics intertwined into hyperactive drones as warm and dense as the waters around a tropical archipelago.
The Alan Sparhawk-produced Yellowstone is quite another kettle of fish. It's the work of a group that's extremely musical, far more so than most experimentalists. (Unlike many of their peers, If Thousands are not too snooty to delve into, say, melodic slowcore on Yellowstone, or try their hand at electronic beats, as they did at a recent show.) The enigmatically titled "we sent h. l. r. e.," for example, begins with a soft, rockish guitar and rhythmic Morse code beeps. Slowly, McShane and Molina add layers of crystalline electronics and glacial guitar, creating a gently susurrant, finely textured sound bed for the sampled voices that appear and vanish like ghosts. The end result is vast and mysterious--the audio equivalent of walking out into Duluth harbor on a January night, eyes fixed beyond the full moon, waiting for the saucers to appear.
If Thousands is an otherworldly band, to be sure. After all, there was a time when they claimed to literally make "music to be abducted by"--and their songs have only gotten stranger since. If and when the green guys come to reclaim their Moog, McShane and Molina will be ready.

Applying for Federal Student Loans
To apply for a federal student loan, you must first complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Based on the results of your FAFSA, your college or career school will send you a financial aid award letter, which may include the federal student loan options available to you. Your school will tell you how to accept all or part of the student loan.
Applying for private student loans
You should consider private student loans after first exploring scholarships, grants, work-study, and federal loans. There are many banks and private lenders willing to help you with student loans. It's important to spend some time comparing rates and terms to get the loan that best fits your needs. A great place to start is your school's financial aid office, which can often point you in the right direction.
Tips for choosing a private student loan:
- Tip 1: Compare. Loans differ, so read all of the materials and disclosures. Make sure you understand the terms, interest rates, fees, and repayment options on each of the loans you are considering.
- Tip 2: Consider a cosigner. Loans (and their interest rates) are based on your creditworthiness and your ability to pay. Since most high school graduates have not yet had a chance to build a credit history, applying with an established cosigner, like a parent or other credit-worthy individual, may help get you approved — and get a lower interest rate.
- Tip 3: Ask for advice. Ask your parent or guardian, your guidance counselor, or anyone else you trust to learn more about the process of taking out loans to pay for college.
College Planning CalculatorSM
Many students and their families use an "all of the above" approach to paying for college. Build your overall plan with the College Planning CalculatorSM, a free tool that helps calculate the expected cost of college and how you will successfully pay for it with savings, income, scholarships, grants, and loans.

Wines are ok but good left much to be desired.
Lasagne was lack luster , ravioli boring, and tiramisu not worth the calories.
The service however was good.
had a great day and finished at there vineyard where we sample some wine olive oil and bought some wine for home , fantastic wine FYI
Modern cafe for light dishes and wine. We found it not that nice, not cosy enough. Wine and food both good, staff correct but no real personal atrention. It's on the corner entering radda from Gaiole.
This restaurant caught our eye when we first arrived and parked in Radda. Later in the week we visited for lunch. It was market day so we watched the vendors set up while enjoying a tasty snack. The outside patio is very clean and comfortable and the accompanying tomato and mozzarella salad washed down with a glass of Prosecco, perfect....
The weather was great, so we could sit outside and enjoy the small town feeling - a farmer selling vegetables on the market and people passing by. I had a nice tuna salad which was tasty with a small twist to it and hubby had a lasagna which he enjoyed. The dishes were on the smaller side, but fitted us...
Wine bar/restaurant of a winery on the outskirts of Radda in Chianti. Sister to a much larger place in Florence. Clearly keyed on the motor traffic (adjacent to the largest parking lot in town). Service was good and the food was nice - the prices were a bit high, though. The cheapest thing on the menu might have been the...
Enjoyed a very nice meal sitting outside on the paito by the square in Radda. Simple menu featuring Tuscan fare. Pasta, Bruschetta and wine were all very good. A nice spot to watch the people go by and enjoy a glass or two of Chianti Classico.
Go across the street for gelato - wonderful selection available
Situated on the main square of Radda, this nice little cantinetta is decidedly unpretentious. The decor is modern and friendly, the terrace very nice on a warm day. Service is very friendly and attentive. The menu offers you a short list of the usual suspects: ribolita, crostini, a pasta or two, plus many salads. Nothing exceptional, this is not mama's...

Apparently, Sampras still thinks he's the GOAT!!!
So I talked to a guy who Ive seen at many tennis as well as basketball events and I asked him if he got any interesting replies to his question at the Legends event at the Garden last month regarding his Whos The Greatest? line. And he said yes. He said that Sampras basically said that he is the greatest because he subdued his greatest rival, Agassi, in every slam he faced him except one or two, and Federer has been beaten time and again in slams by his greatest rival, Nadal.
I pointed out that Sampras and Agassi were separated by one year while Fed and Rafa are divided by five, but Sampras apparently shook his head when probed similarly and said, it doesnt matter. You can only be considered the greatest if you have beaten your greatest rival.
Granted, this is not a quote from the horse's mouth, so it could be fabricated. OTOH, he has made such statements in the past, so I wouldn't put it past him to come up with such nonsense.
If he indeed still thinks that, someone needs to remind him that he was the one who came up with the "slams are what determine the GOAT" crap.. Sorry Pete, you're not in reckoning anymore.. My new year wish for 2013 is for Federer to erase more of your records, and for Nadal to surpass you sometime in the future.

VISTA: City Hall to be closed Fridays under cost-cutting plan
City workers must take furlough days to achieve 5 percent pay cut
On the revenue side, the city expects to bring in $1.5 million more than last year because of additional taxes generated from new businesses, including BMW of Vista, Marriott Hotel, the Hyatt Hotel that is under construction and a furniture store that is locating in the former Sam's Club on University Avenue.
In the city report, Geldert said Vista anticipates a .75 percent increase in property tax revenue and a 2 percent increase in sales tax revenue.
The council has also approved a series of fee increases to help generate extra income, including higher charges for right of way permits, which could bring in an additional $75,000 to $100,000, and an increase to Moonlight Amphitheater tickets that could generate an additional $20,000.
The city has also imposed a $30 per player fee for participants of youth leagues that use city fields that will raise about $135,000.
Vista will use just over $4 million in savings from other projects that it won't have in future years to close the rest of the projected gap.
That money comes from $1.2 million in a reduction in the cost of the city's contract with the Sheriff's Department for the 2010-11 fiscal year and $2.8 million in savings from construction projects at the Civic Center, the Moonlight Amphitheatre, fire stations and resurfacing the basketball courts at Brengle Terrace Park.
Geldert said that the reductions Vista has made to services and programs have cut the structural deficit to $4 million.
"In the upcoming year, we will concentrate on meeting our challenges and continue to build on the positive results we have achieved," she said.

Virginia Lodge is ideally situated ; a few minutes walk from the town centre , station and RSC, for a stay in Stratford upon Avon.
My ensuite room was clean adequately furnished and very comfortable.
Breakfast was very enjoyable and Tim the host was very welcoming and helpful. Will try and stay at Virginia Lodge next time I 'm in Stratford.
We had a wonderful stay. The room was beautiful, warm, and clean.
I was made to feel very welcome throughout by Tim who is a natural host. All my requests were responded to and good advice re the following days activities.Virginia Lodge is ideally placed for visits to the theatre and the town centre. Car parking is available which is a cost saving. The room and bathroom were clean and warm and perfectly adequate for one person.
This is a full-on B&B, not someone's 2nd bedroom, so be prepared. Tim and his wife have converted a brick Victorian row house into their B&B. It's nestled between other conversions on its right and left as well as across the street; all B&Bs. Several on the Virginia Lodge side share parking behind their buildings, accessed by a narrow, brick-walled passageway. It looks daunting as you enter from the roadway but there was a full range of car sizes in the lot when we arrived, so we all made it.
The house layout seems common to most other B&Bs I walked by: a nice dining room in the front bay window room - probably originally the sitting room or parlor - with guest rooms upstairs. You choose from multiple types of included breakfasts by writing on the room list in the entry hallway. It's a good selection from full English to yogurt & granola. I tried meals at both ends of that spectrum and both were good. Of course a selection of teas, juices and French press coffee.
Our room was small but well appointed with the double bed, 2 chairs, a desk and a standalone Victorian style closet. It had a large window looking out to the backyard which let in a lot of light. I think upstairs rooms on the front of the building might get traffic noise but our 1st floor room [that's the 2nd floor for Americans] was very quiet, day & night. The en-suite bathroom was small but workable. The room contained a hot pot with teas, instant coffee, etc., and a flat screen TV [can't comment, we didn't use it]. The WiFi was strong but the ISP seemed a little flaky and internet connection could be slow.
Tim's running a business with guests coming and going. If you seem pretty competent, he'll leave you to it after a brief orientation. Check-in is available before 10am or after 3pm so time your arrival. He was very kind and attentive, though, when we needed help finding medical services in town.
Many/most of the Stratford-upon-Avon tourist sites are within 3-4 blocks of the Virginia Lodge - including the Royal Shakespeare Theatre - an easy and interesting walk. Streets are well lit and many people were still out strolling when our RSC production ended at 10pm. There are 2 nearby laundromats, each about 3 blocks away in opposite directions. Be prepared to have coins or buy something at a nearby pub to get change.
We enjoyed our stay at the Virginia Lodge. It's close enough, but not too close to the tourist "action." There are pubs and take-away fish & chips places within a couple of blocks and, of course, many medium- and high-end restaurants from which to choose. We'd stay again if we returned to Stratford-upon-Avon.
Clean room and great location for our quick stopover in Stratford.
Tim is a great guy, and Virginia Lodge is in the perfect position for the theatres and shops.
It is 10 minutes max walk to the theatres along pretty streets, and there is parking just at the rear of the property.
Tim takes time to greet his guests and find out about them, and shares his enthusiasm for the theatre. Really enjoyed talking to him.
The room was spacious and clean, with a handy en suite bathroom.
This host has 29 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews

So, in other words, the SDR needs to "raise their bar" at least to the level of the 1500 and NARC, 'cause their respective standards and practices have been so eminently successful in the prevention of the losses of both boats, and life, in their respective rallies in recent years, correct?
Or, perhaps not...
What I don't get, is where were you with all your hand-wringing, and calls for greater "regulation", in the wake of those far more tragic events? As far as I can tell, we didn't hear a peep out of you back when the NARC - with its "nebulous" entry requirements, lack of seminars and safety inspections, and perhaps worst of all, being
to all participants - "encouraged" sailors to undertake a passage far riskier than the route of the SDR, with the resultant tragic consequences?

On the launch pad, an overhead crane lifts a solid rocket booster to vertical for mating with the Delta II rocket that will launch the Aqua-EOS satellite. Aqua is one of a series of spacebased platforms that are central to NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE), a long-term study of the scope, dynamics and implications of global change. The Aqua program is composed of Aqua and other spacecraft (including Terra and Aura) and a data distribution system (ESDIS, and Mission Operations Center Implementation Team). Flying in an orbit that covers the globe every 16 days, Aqua will provide a six-year chronology of the planet and its processes. Comprehensive measurements taken by its onboard instruments will allow multidisciplinary teams of scientists and researchers from North and South America, Asia, Australia and Europe to assess long-term change, identify its human and natural causes and advance the development of models for long-term forecasting. Launch is scheduled for April 26 from Vandenberg

We take the Samsung Galaxy S4 camera for a spin, return with samples

Remember how I said I was wary about next year's Readercon? You may have seen some rather...spirited...discussions of the issue elsewhere on LJ, also.
I'm feeling much more reassured after sovay's post about Readercon:
Let us all agree that "This is your father's Readercon" is a really bad slogan. It has a deskful of negative associations and nothing to do with the current plan for Readercon 21, which is a temporary simplification of the program to something whose creation and coordination will not cause nervous breakdowns among members of the committee. Note that I do not mean simplified intellectually. The only issue is the density of program items. The dealer's room will contain its usual stacks of books. The traditional events—Meet the Pros(e), the presentation of the Rhysling, Shirley Jackson, and Cordwainer Smith Awards, and the Kirk Poland Memorial Bad Prose Competition—will all take place. And please, if there aren't parties all over the place in 2010, something has gone terribly wrong with the whole de-stressing idea. Further information will be forthcoming as soon as I have it, i.e., after the committee has a chance to check its e-mail, breathe for the first time since mid-April, and perhaps water some of its plants or pets. For now, please repost and link as you see fit. And if you have any concerns about Readercon, ask.This says to me that the concom knows there's been a screw-up, that they want to address it by fixing the communications channels, and that they're listening. This is a huge improvement over how things looked earlier. I'm still concerned, but even at the nadir I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt as much as I could, and this...this helps a whole lot.
Don't Panic.

Prof Andy Way Brings World Class Machine Translation Expertise to Lingo24
Andy Way, one of the world's foremost authorities on machine translation (MT), has joined Lingo24 as Director of Machine Translation. He will be spearheading the Scottish company´s move into MT and post-edited MT (PEMT) and building a world-class team with close links to academia.
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 20, 2012
The team will be based at Lingo24´s new office in Manchester, due to open in January. It will initially consist of at least four experienced MT developers, as well as two Account Directors. This is a significant step for the company, which was founded by Christian Arno in 2001. Lingo24 also has offices in Edinburgh and London, and international hubs in Romania, Germany, Panama, the USA and the Philippines.
Lingo24 will be building high quality translation software for clients, customised to their sector, style and other requirements. MT will also be integrated into Lingo24´s new Coach technology, which is designed to improve productivity among human translators.
Professor Way has more than 25 years experience in MT research and development. He built up one of the world´s leading research groups in Computational Linguistics at Dublin City University, and has consulted with various translation companies. He is currently President of the European Association for Machine Translation, and the International Association for Machine Translation.
He said: "We are very excited about this move, and believe we have the capability to take Lingo24 to the next level. We will be building industry-leading bespoke MT solutions for large clients. These are much more accurate than web-based translation tools, since they are tailored to the client´s specific use-case requirements.
"Christian´s commitment and enthusiasm to fully embrace what MT has to offer matches my vision, and made my decision to join the company a very easy one. I expect the team to make a big impact very quickly.
"This is still a relatively young science, but it is improving rapidly. The web is more multinational than ever, but only a very small volume of what could be translated is actually being translated currently. MT is often the only option for large volumes of content, and most clients are pleasantly surprised by its accuracy."
Mr Arno said: "This is a major step for Lingo24, and heralds our emergence as a genuine global player within the industry. There are few if any MT professionals with Andy's mix of academic, technical and commercial experience.
"We´ve always had a strong focus on developing technology to automate parts of the translation process and improve productivity. This will allow us to expand the range of services we offer, and fit every client´s budget and need."
Mr Arno, a languages graduate, set up Lingo24 from his parents´ spare room in Aberdeenshire. He has built it into a global translation company, with more than 180 staff, and over 4000 professional linguists worldwide translating 60 million words a year. Turnover in 2012 was more than £7 million.
Lingo24 provides high quality translation 24/7 in all major business sectors, with clients including the UN, the World Bank, Save the Children Fund, American Express, and Orange. The company was recently awarded the prestigious Excellence Award by TAUS, the Translation Automation User Society, for its Coach technology.

Comments about White Astronaut Child Costume:
Awesome costume! The only problem is that the costume is very big. I got a size small (4-6) and it's still big for my 7 yr old son. But it can be fixed and he was happy!

Comments about White Astronaut Child Costume:
Fast shipping. Good quality. However, I ordered a Child size 6-8 but an adult could wear this. I cut 11 1/2 inches off the legs, and 10 inches from the arms. I had to do a major reconstruction on the torso. You had better size DOWN if ordering this.
