"This game means a lot to me, and by the grace of God, Ill never lose sight of the privilege it is to play it."Kirk Cousins
Kirks book is a reflection of who he isnot just a football player, but someone who is committed to making those around him better in every walk of life.

Archie Manning, chairman, National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame
Kirk Cousins is a lot more than an outstanding quarterback. He walks the talk. Few people I've met can inspire like he does.
Jon Gruden, ESPN announcer and former head coach, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
In a world with far too many bad examples, Kirk is a bright light of hope, inspiration, and leadership for a new generation.
Bill Huizenga, United States Congressman, Michigan

Ce commentaire fait rťfťrence ŗ cette ťdition : Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie (Brochť)
Gold Star Award Winner!
"The most annoying thing in the world is...My little brother, Jeffrey." That's what thirteen-year-old Steven Alper had written in his journal for his English class. But on October 7th, everything changed. Jeffrey had a small accident in the kitchen, was taken to the emergency room, and was diagnosed with leukemia.
Steven's life turns upside down, and just when he needs his parents the most, his mom has to spend most of her days at the hospital taking care of his brother, and his dad is mostly keeping to himself, too worried about the bills to spend time with or even talk to his oldest son. Steven wants to believe that everything will just go back to normal, and tries to release his anger, anxiety, and fears by playing the drums. But his brother doesn't seem to be getting any better, and Steven has a hard time concentrating at school, he's not turning in his homework, and his grades are starting to fall behind. To make things worse, he doesn't want anyone to find out what is going on--but somehow his best friend, Annette, the school counselor, and even Renee Albert, the hottest girl in the eighth grade, all seem to know that something is not right.
This unforgettable novel took me on an incredibly moving ride. And when I felt I was all the way down on this emotional roller coaster, and found myself struggling to see the words through my tears, Sonnenblick lifted me up gently, word by word, page by page, and put a grin on my face that eventually turned into a big smile and then an out-loud laugh. The author's great voice shows real characters with real feelings, and the true struggle of a teenager trying to understand the unfairness of a deadly disease, and how to cope with the fear of losing his beloved little brother.
So you think your little brother is a pest? You will think again after reading this touching story.
Tissues are highly recommended.
The paperback edition of DRUMS, GIRLS, & DANGEROUS PIE also includes a section with an interview, information about the author, tips on writing, and a preview of Jordan Sonnenblick's next novel, NOTES FROM THE MIDNIGHT DRIVER.

You are awesome! Don't let people bring you down
I feel like I've been reblogging enough of your stuff at this point that I can reply to your posts! I hope that's alright BUT I could really see Zac as Finnick - he could totally nail the suggestive humor and everyone needs to see more of his body.
Haha hey!!
I know, right? He's not exactly who I'd pictured, or who I'd necessarily want (Armie Hammer idk) but I honestly think he'd be a good fit. Only, it might be a little bit too obvious?
theworldfamouslilsebastian asked:
Whats that tv show you were just posting?
Best Friends Forever :) It was such a nice little show (before NBC chopped it's head off with a fiery axe)
theworldfamouslilsebastian asked:
Hey - I saw that you used ColorOops. I'm contemplating doing that on my hair and wanted to know your thoughts. Also, do you know any special considerations for the next round of dye or did you just proceed like normal? I would greatly appreciate any answers! Thanks!
Well color oops worked great for my hair, it too the pink out after i had bleached my hair from red. the way that hair dye works is that when you put it in the molecules are small, thats why you have to leave it in, so the molecules become too big to wash out. what color oops does is make the molecules small again so all you have to do is wash it out. directly after i put the color oops in and let it sit for the right amount of time, i shampood it about 10 times back to back, you can let your hair dry in between and you have to make sure to shampoo all of the color out, o it wont work, so 10 times is a good number. I would let my hair rest for a day in between dying because all the shampooing makes the hair kind of rough, but nothing a deep conditioning can't fix. it's a great product though.

An exposure apparatus for copying machines comprises a light guiding unit having a variable aperture for guiding a light image through the aperture and onto a photoconductive drum. The light guiding unit comprises a thermally metamorphic member positioned near the drum and operatively connected to the variable aperture for controlling the size of the aperture as a function of the temperature of the photoconductive drum.
1. In an electrostatic copying machine having a photoconductive member, charge means for applying a uniform electrostic charge to the photoconductive member, exposure means for exposing the charged photoconductive member to a light image and producing an electrostatic latent image on the photoconductive member, and developer means for developing the electrostatic latent image, said exposure means comprising:
a light guiding means for guiding said light image onto said photoconductive member, said light guiding means including a variable aperture means having at least one movable element for varying the amount of light reaching said photoconductive member,
said light guiding means further comprising a thermally metamorphic member positioned near said photoconductive member and attached to said movable element and capable of undergoing physical displacement upon exposure to changes in temperature of said photoconductive member, whereby said movable element undergoes displacement to vary the amount of said light as a function of temperature of the photoconductive member.
2.

said metallic wire being coupled between said first plate and said guide plate for urging the pivotal movement of a second direction opposite to said first direction.
This invention relates to an exposure apparatus for copying machines.
In a typical copying machine a photoconductive member such as a drum is uniformly charged and exposed with a light image from an original document to form an electrostatic image. A developer is applied to the drum to develop the electrostatic image into a visible toner image which is transferred and fixed to a sheet of paper.
It is well known in the electrostatic copying machine field that the charge acceptance of the photoconductive member changes with the temperature of the member. As the charge acceptance varies, the quality of the copy image is affected.
For example, FIG. 1 shows a graph of charge acceptance versus temperature of the photoconductive member for constant luminance. This data was obtained by charging an amorphous selenium photoconductive member with a corona charger under a constant voltage condition. The ordinate shows the charging potential (V), while the abscissa shows the temperature (T�C.) of the atmosphere surrounding the photoconductive member. The shaded portion is the permissible charging potential region for quality reproduction. It can be seen from this data that the charging potential (V) decreases with temperatures above 30� C.; moreover, temperatures in the region above 40� C. are outside the permissible charging potential range. In other words, with temperature conditions above 40� C. and constant luminance of exposing light, the charging potential (V) corresponds to an excessive exposure; as a result, the copy image quality will be degraded. This is attributable to the fact that the electrical resistance of the photoconductive member is reduced with an increase in temperature; consequently the acceptance of the member for holding electrostatic charges is reduced. It is necessary, therefore, to control the luminance from the exposure lamp which is focused on the photoconductive member.
Japanese Patent Publication (Kokoku) No. 54-22305 (M. Nakaguchi; Aug. 6, 1979) discloses an exposure control device utilized in the prior art containing a thermistor for detecting the temperature of the photoconductive member. A signal representing the detected temperature is then utilized to control the exposure lamp or the size of the aperture which passes the light beam from the exposure lamp. Such prior art devices, however, have many disadvantages such as unreliability, complicated construction and extreme high cost.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrostatic copying machine overcoming the disadvantages of the conventional exposure devices by utilizing a simpler structure.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an electrostatic copying machine wherein higher quality image reproduction is obtained over a broad temperature range. Appropriate compensation for temperature variations is produced by varying the exposure of the light onto the drum. A thermally metamorphic member operatively connected to a variable aperture controls the size of the aperture as a function of the temperature of the drum.
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the charging potential versus the temperature of the photoconductive member;
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of the invention positioned within an electrostatic copying machine;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary longitudinal sectional view showing one embodiment of the invention; and,
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary longitudinal sectional view showing another embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to FIGS. 2-3, an explanation will be given regarding a preferred embodiment of the invention.
As shown in FIG. 2, the electrostatic copying machine of the invention comprises a photoconductive drum 3, a charger 4, an exposure device 5 and a developing device 6. Photoconductive drum 3 is disposed in a main body 1 and is linked to an appropriate drive means (not shown) to rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow. The photoconductive drum 3 is a photoconductive medium made of amorphous selenium, zinc oxide, etc. A table 2 is reciprocative provided on the main body 1 for holding an original document to be copied. Charger 4 is provided adjacent drum 3 for applying a uniform electrostatic charge to the photoconductive drum 3. The exposure device 5 is positioned at the upper portion of main body 1 for exposing the charged photoconductive drum 3 so as to produce an electrostatic latent image on the drum 3. Exposure device 5 comprises an exposure lamp 5a, a first mirror 5b, a lens unit 5c, a second mirror 5d and a light guiding unit 5e. The developing device 6 includes a magnetic roller 6a for developing the electrostatic latent image.
Disposed below drum 3 is a transfer charger 7 for transfering the developed image to a sheet of paper P. A corona charge remover 8 is provided adjacent drum 3 for removing the residual charge by applying a corona charge of opposite polarity to the polarity of the electrostatic latent image. A cleaning device 9 is provided adjacent drum 3 for removing the residual toner. This removal is accomplished by the rotation of a fur brush 9a against drum 3. A sheet cassette 10 containing sheets of paper is disposed in the lower portion of main body 1. A sheet feed roller 11 contacts each sheet P to begin movement of the sheet along a sheet path 14. Positioned along path 14 are sheet transport rollers 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d to maintain movement of the sheet along sheet path 14. A fixing device 12 is provided at the end of the sheet path 14 for fixing the toner image transferred to sheet P from drum 3. A tray 13 is attached at outside of main body 1 and positoned adjacent a sheet outlet 15 for receiving sheet P discharged from the copying machine.
FIG. 3 shows in detail the structure of the light guiding unit 5e according to this invention. Unit 5e has a variable aperture 20 for guiding the light image onto photoconductive drum 3. The invention comprise means connected to the aperture for controlling the size of the aperture as a function of the temperature of the drum. Light guiding unit 5e comprises a first plate 16, a second plate 17, a thermally metamorphic plate or bimetal plate 18 and a guide plate 19. The second plate 17 is spaced from the first plate 16. The front end of the first and second plate 16, 17 are bent inwardly to define therebetween the slit-like variable aperture 20. The rear end of the first plate 16 is riveted or otherwise connected to the one end of the bimetal member or plate 18. The other end of bimetal plate 18 is riveted or otherwise connected to the front end of guide plate 19. The second plate 17, guide plate 19, bimetal plate 18 and first plate 16 define a light guide path 21 for guiding the light image through the variable aperture 20 and onto the surface of the photoconductive drum 3. The bimetal member 18 consists of invar and bronze plates laminated together by welding. It is adapted so that its free end, which is riveted to the first plate 16, will be bendable due to thermal metamorphosis with respect to its secured point, which is connected to guide plate 19. When the temperature of the photoconductive drum 3 increases, bimetal member 18 will bend clockwise so that the size of aperture 20 will decrease. When the temperature of the photoconductive drum 3 decreases, the bimetal member 18 will bend counterclockwise so that the size of aperture 20 will increase. As a result, the exposure of light incident on the surface of the photoconductive drum 3 will be automatically controlled.
The operation of the electrostatic copying machine of the above construction will now be described. An original document is placed on table 2, and a copying switch (not shown) is turned on. By turning on the copying swtich, the drive unit (not shown) and the photoconductive drum 3 is driven. At this time, the photoconductive drum 3 is uniformly charged by the charger 4. As the table 2 moves towards the right, the exposure lamp 5a lights. As a result, the light image of the original document5d and aperture 20 of light guiding unit 5e. The light is then received onto the charged portion of drum 3 to form an electrostatic latent image. Subsequently, developer is supplied to the electrostatic latent image by the magnetic roller 6a of developing device 6 to form a toner image. The toner image is then transferred by transfer charger 7 onto the sheet P supplied, via sheet feed roller 11 and transport roller 11a, from sheet cassette 10. Thereafter, sheet P is transported by sheet transport rollers 11b, 11c, to fixing device 12 where the toner image is fixed. Upon completion of this step, sheet P is then discharged by roller 11d onto tray 13. Upon completion of the transfer process, the residual charge on drum 3 is removed by corona charge remover 8, and the residual toner on drum 3 is removed by rotary fur brush 9a of cleaning device 9.
When the temperature of the atmosphere surrounding photoconductive drum 3 gradually increases during the copying process, the charge acceptance of the drum decreases as shown in FIG. 1. The temperature increase can be due to the atmospheric temperature of the location of the copying machine or the heat generated by the fixing device 12. In any event, as the temperature increases, the bimetal plate 18 is thermally caused to undergo rotational displacement in the clockwise direction about its secured point. This rotational displacement of the bimetal plate 18 thereby reduces the size of the variable aperture 20. with the reduction of the size of the aperture the amount of light traveling through the light guiding unit 5e will be reduced. As a result, the surface of the drum 3 will be exposed with adequately controlled exposure according to the charging potential (V) of the drum 3. Thus, the thermal displacement of bimetal plate 18 will appropriately control the exposure for obtaining uniform quality of the copies over wide temperature variations.
In FIG. 4, another embodiment of a light guiding unit 5e is shown. A first plate 22 having a perpendicularly oriented plate 22a which includes an upper rim 22b and a lower rim 22c. The upper and lower rims 22b, 22c are positioned parallel to the first plate 22. The first plate 22 is pivoted with respect to light guide path 27 about a pivot pin 23. A second plate 24 is spaced from the first plate 22, wherein the spacing between the plates 22, 24 at a position along the plates 22, 24 define a variable aperture 25. That is, the front end of the first and second plates 22 and 24 are bent inwardly to define therebetween a slit-like variable aperture 25. A guide plate 26 is spaced from the first plate 22 and positioned substantially parallel to second plate 24. Guide plate 26 is positioned substantially coaxial with the lower rim 22c of first plate 22 so that a light guide path 27 is formed between plates 26, 22 and plate 24. A thermally metamorphic member or a metallic wire 28 is provided between upper rim 22b and a hook 29 provided on guide plate 26. Wire 28 is connected from the upper rim 22b over a roller 30 and to hook 29. As a result, plate 22 is urged to move in a counterclockwise direction by wire 28. One end of a spring 31 is connected to a front end of guide plate 26 while the other end of spring 31 is connected to the lower rim 22c, so that the plate 22 is biased by spring 31 to move in a clockwise direction. As a result, under normal temperature conditions the tension of spring 31 and metallic wire 28 are balanced, whereby the variable aperture 25 is set for proper reproduction.
The metallic wire 28 has particular thermal expansion and contraction as a function of the change in the temperature of photoconductive drum 3. That is, the length of wire 28 is changed in accordance with its coefficient of thermal expansion. When the temperature of the photoconductive drum 3 increases (e.g. more than 40� C.) the metallic wire 28 will expand. Consequently, first plate 22 will rotate clockwise due to the force exerted by spring 31 and, thereby, reduce the size of aperture 25. Conversely, as the temperature decreases first plate 22 will rotate counterclockwise due to the force exerted by wire 28 and, thereby, increase the size of aperture 25.

Is any direct bus from Xian to Langzhong?
It will be a bus with no stable schedule if it really runs. Better to take train to Guangyuan where you change bus to Langzhong.
Yes, there is a bus departure at 11:30, fare RMB210pp.
The bus station named 'Xian Mingde Gate long haul bus station' which locates at 78, Zhuque Dajie Nan (South), Yan Ta district, Xian.
It makes no sense to put in any bus informations read from Chinese sources. For bus timetable in China, you can only rely on personal telephone inquiry to the hotline of bus station close to the departure date or check their official system (if any). OTW, you will be saying "come on!".
Here we go:
I just checked the their official system:
Departing at 10:30 once a day. Ticket is 189.5 RMB.
Station & location:
Cheng Nan Ke Yun Zhan(城南客运站), has been moved to the south extreme of Xian city close to Sanyao villages from Ming De Men area said above last year August.

Thanks a lot. Do you know, what time is the bus in Langzhong? Dea
Sorry, i don't have any system access to bus from Langzhong by my hand. I think you could ask staff of your lodging of Langzhong to make a phone call to the bus station.
There are two bus stations located very close to the old train station of xinan, one named xian bus station(西安汽车站) to the west side of the station, one named SanFuWan( 三府湾车站)to the east side the station, they also have bus run to the Lan zhou daily.
hope this can help
Thanks for help. Dea

I personally find it difficult to enjoy Fantasmic! anymore unless I do the Fantasmic! cheese tray option with the special seating. Even then, if I don't get there like two hours early to stand in line so that I can grab a spot in the first row, I'm sure someone really tall is going to end up sitting in front of me which means I just lost sixty bucks for a plate of cheese that I'm not overly fond of. The all you can drink drinks aren't bad, so long as they keep coming. In my experience, they stop coming after about the third refill.
If I'm going to do Fantasmic!, and don't want to wait around forever for a good viewing spot, I'll do the cheese platter/reserved seating thing. The dragon, if it works, and that's a big if sometimes, was a wonderful addition to a show that I found to be aging not so gracefully before.
This bit of advice is based upon me spoiling myself with a few years of watching from the reserved seating section and comparing that to the last time I watched the show, where my son and I waited on the banks of the Rivers of America for perhaps four to five, possibly six hours. During that time, the two of us were lying on the ground doing nothing, while people walked over us. Sure, other people joined us in our sitting venture for the upcoming show. I don't think we were even the first people waiting, either. In any case, it demonstrated how valuable the reserved seating is, because even though we'd waited that long and were pressed up against the edge of the viewing area, people still managed to squeeze their way in front of us right before the show began.

Make your reservations now for dinner at The Blue Bayou.
Don't settle for a table in the middle, ask specifically for a waterside table and wait the additional 30 minutes.
The shooting star on the ceiling is working again and food isn't bad at all. It's a little pricey, but watching park guests float by is really fun. It's a true submersion environment and remains one of the last original aspects of NOS. Enjoy! But make your reservations early.
FOLKS!!!!! She is with a group that hass never visited a Disney park!!! What do you think their memory is going to be?????? "We waited an hour and half for this, and an hour an half for this, and hour for this, Disneyland is just one big waiting line. Ditch the shows !!!! Ditch the reservations, treat your friends to a memory not a bureaucracy
I'd suggest other than planning what shows to see, and dinner reservations, don't go overboard with planning. I feel like when people go nuts with the planning and trying to strategize fast passes, etc you lose out on a bit of the magic since you're on a constant mission to maximize everything. Walk around, take in the sights, and let Disneyland just kinda HAPPEN.
"Have I gone mad?"
"I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are. "
We did the "let it happen" recently when my family came out to visit and did Disneyland for 3 days. As fas as I know, they all had a wonderful time. Me, I really wished I could have gotten them moving earlier each day so they could have ridden RSR or gotten WoC passes, but besides that I don't think there was any major thing they missed and they loved it.

Hey, WildeNight, was the average time of entry into the park?? This is the one thing I always stress when Helping folks with THREE DAY VISITS, arrive early, go back and nap, then take in a whole new park at night.
If you end up going by yourself on the first day, be sure to utilize the single rider lines! Have a fantastic trip!

As for earlier suggestions on sitting in the wet zone way up front on WOC I would like to point out that is strictly their opinion. I personally prefer to view it from further back as it allows you to see the show in the aggregate of its smaller parts, which in my opinion is much more impressive than seeing it from up front, where it can be much like watching a tennis match at times with the back and forth you would have to do to take it all in.
Similarly you don't need to be right in front of the castle to view the fireworks. Remember, fireworks are shot up into the sky so the bulk of your show will be above and not in front. I prefer watching the fireworks on Main Street anywhere between Coke Corner and the Gibson Girl. You might miss some projections but IMO watching it further back allows the castle and the Matterhorn to fill your visual frame, and the show is much more beautiful with all of this added in there.
After the fireworks go directly to the 10:30 showing of Fantasmic! You won't have to wait that long. Once again not being close up doesn't make a difference. Just be sure to get a spot where a pole or a tree isn't blocking your view.
In a nutshell there really is no reason to be waiting any more than 20-30 minutes for a show especially if being in the first row isn't as important for you.
I'll get around to posting a trip report about it all. But, the only people in my family I can get motivated to be on time are me, husband, my father and nephew. The girls... pft... forget about it.

I loved the Disneyland resort! I came in with somewhat lower expectations but I was blown away, especially by Indiana Jones (by far my favorite ride). My friends all seemed to enjoy it and were amazed at how different Disney was than any of your regular theme parks. I got to enjoy WOC (I only cried a little). I was good until the Mufasa death scene! Overall I would definitely go back and I still have somethings that I didn't get to do so that gives me plenty of reasons to come back!

Glass half full type of guy looking for a great girl.
I'm a very driven person when it comes to work, but my family and friends are the most important people in my life. I like to enjoy my weekends with friends relaxing and catching up. I'm looking for a girl who more or less has a similar outlook on life. I absolutely love what I do. Making my clients visions come to life has always made me appreciate what I'm doing for a living. I've been fortunate to get to travel overseas for work and it changed my outlook on life. I'd like to travel more but I want to share the experience with a well traveled person. I like to try new foods and would like to take cooking lessons. I have the BBQ thing down. My good friends, my dad, his friends and I compete in BBQ competitions. Always a great time! I definitely have an adventurous side. Two years ago my family went to Spain for my dad's 55th birthday and my dad and I ran with the bulls in Pamplona! It was the craziest most exciting thing I've ever done in my life. Pure adrenaline! It was an amazing experience and something I'll always have to share with my dad. All in all I'm looking for a loving, caring girl who wants to experience life with me. My ideal match would be a passionate, caring, kind girl who can laugh at life and see the good in life not the bad. Life is too short to dwell in the negative...you gotta move on and push forward and search for the good things life has to offer.

Powell finally ends region slump for District 3-AAA
Late free throws make the difference
The losing streak was but three years in length but the record made it look oh-so-much worse
Girls' basketball teams from District 3-AAA entered Friday's play having not won a Region 2-AAA quarterfinal since 2010.
District 4-AAA teams went a sparkling 8-0 combined in the 2011-12 region tournaments against District 3.
And while District 4-AAA once again had the upperhand Friday night, Powell finally broke through for some District 3-AAA pride.
The Lady Panthers held on for a 50-46 win over visiting William Blount in the Region 2-AAA quarterfinals, sending them into a 6 p.m. semifinal game Monday at 4-AAA champion Farragut.
Bearden and Heritage, two more 4-AAA teams, will play in the 7:30 semifinal at Farragut.
All region semifinals are elimination games, but region finalists advance to the state sectionals.
Powell (20-9) advanced to next week thanks to a clutch fourth quarter, where it outscored William Blount 23-17.
Powell went 13-for-16 at the foul line in the fourth. Shea Coker (17 points) went 5-for-6 down the stretch. Ashley Evans hit two in the final minute and Keelie Lusby went 4-for-4 at the foul line in the fourth quarter.
Damiyah Moore came up big for Powell, too, with 16 points and five blocks.
Lindsey Roddy paced William Blount with 18 points.
Region 2-AAA
Heritage 30, Anderson County 29: Heritage (20-12) pulled off the upset win at District 3-AAA champion Anderson County (26-6).
Only three players scored for each team. Leah Thomas hit three 3s and scored a team-high 13 for Heritage. Kaitlyn Cupples' 16 points paced Anderson County, which missed its shot at the end for the win.

Access to government information is about to get much easier, if the new president's early actions are any indication.
To the delight of open government advocates, President Barack Obama dedicated some of his first policy documents to those concerns.
The day after his inauguration, Obama signed an executive order imposing rules on presidential record-keeping and one that attempted to close the revolving door through which political appointees move back and forth between government and lobbying jobs. He also signed two open government memorandums and said more formal documents in those areas would be forthcoming.
"We are overjoyed and still stunned, I would say," said Meredith Fuchs, general counsel at George Washington University's National Security Archive, a group that has sued the Bush administration over its record-keeping practices and has litigation pending related to some of the many Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests it has filed.
"No president has ever made this an issue that he has spoken to on the first day," Fuchs said.
Advocates said Obama's action sent a strong signal that Obama's team heard and took seriously the suggestions that advocates had given.
The policy documents reflect many of those recommendations.
Obama said "information maintained by the federal government is a national asset" and that the administration would work to disclose information readily in forms that the public can use.
He also called for agencies to make use of collaborative tools to better engage citizens and non-governmental groups.
"All agencies should adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure," he said, directing the issuance of new FOIA guidelines to enforce that philosophy.
Patrice McDermott, director of OpenTheGovernment.org, said it will be interesting to watch how much information agencies make available, how timely and usable its release will be, and how far down the bureaucracy the changes will reach.
In separate news, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announced that Obama will be able to use a super-secure handheld device to exchange e-mail messages with "senior staff and a small group of personal friends" under the presumption that "they're all subject to the Presidential Records Act."

Getting country house hospitality perfectly right in the Lake District
hiring a classic car and driving around this stunning beauty spot.
Something that strikes you about Linthwaite House in
the Lake District is the unyielding passion owner Mike Bevans has
for his 30-bedroom slice of the dream. And it's infectious! There
are those Lake Windermere vistas (over to Belle Isle) for starters
and endless acres of flowering garden and woodland as well as a
nine-hole putting green and par three practice hole. Inside,
showroom-perfect bedrooms and a seriously good restaurant seal the
deal. So centrally located at the heart of the Lake District,
Linthwaite is a prime spot. Walkers love it here (fell trails begin
from the front door) while culture vultures can follow in the
footsteps of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. But stepping
out of Linthwaite's cosseting world isn't easy. By marrying
on-trend interior fashions with homely comfort (very House &
Garden) and providing the best of traditional hospitality, you
never want to leave! The implausibly pretty lake, garden and fell
views from most of the bedrooms keep you rooted to the cushioned
spot too. If you've reserved the popular Luxury Lake View Room with
outside hot tub, just try and remember to keep a check on the time.
It would be a crying shame to miss out on Linthwaite's modern
British food lovingly prepared from nothing but fresh, local
produce. The list of fine wines is equally impressive. The perfect
place for: family getaways, refined weddings and babymoons.
Condé Nast Johansens Best for Weddings, Parties and Social Events 2015, Condé Nast Johansens Knight Frank Award for Excellence & Innovation 2013
If you want to enjoy the Lake District in all of its glory then summer is definitely the perfect time of year for you to come.
That's why we're offering you rates from as little as £128 per person per night for dinner, room and breakfast from the 26th May – 16th July.
To book now, please call 015394 88600 and quote 'Summertime'.

For decades, Russia's oil giants have been secretly polluting parts of the country's once thriving landscape, spilling oil onto the land and into the Arctic Ocean, poisoning the water and destroying the livelihood of local communities and Indigenous Peoples.
Greenpeace has investigated and documented the ongoing disaster, revealing how the oil seeps into rivers and farmland. This leaked oil spreads and becomes a thick, heavy mire, suffocating plants and animals, and forcing people to abandon the area entirely. The oil contaminates food and water supplies, and people live with the knowledge that their once clean rivers, forests and air now pose serious health risks.
When BP spilt 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the whole world took notice. The Russian oil industry spills 30 million barrels on land each year — seven times the amount that escaped during the Deepwater Horizon disaster — all under a veil of secrecy and corruption. And every 18 months, more than four million barrels spews directly into the Arctic Ocean, where it becomes everyone's problem.
After analysing satellite images to identify spill sites, Greenpeace staff travelled to the region to investigate and document the spills and expose the extent of the damage. All these photos were taken over a three-day period in just one of the many oil spill hotspots in Russia.
Intensive development work carried out by the oil and gas industry is generally accompanied by large-scale PR campaigns. These are focused on making local residents believe that oil drilling and production are absolutely harmless and will positively contribute to the overall development of the region and its infrastructure.
Extreme weather conditions along with a lack of maintenance have resulted in a slow but constant seepage of oil from pipeline ruptures. Additionally, there is still "outlawed" burning of associated gas (60% of which is methane — a powerful greenhouse gas). Russia produces around 55 billion cubic metres of this kind of gas annually.
According to a representative from the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources, "The development of Russia's continental shelf is characterised by the most complicated working conditions and requires the use of new and unique technologies. At the same time, among the major constraints are: extremely difficult, natural climatic and engineering-geological conditions, lack of infrastructure, remoteness of extraction areas from coastal support bases, and the absence of proven technologies for the development of offshore oil and gas fields in the Arctic."
If the Russian oil and gas industry has been unable to adhere to regulations in the existing fields — despite having all the necessary technical capabilities — why would we believe it will show any greater responsibility to environmental issues when developing the offshore Arctic?
Previously classified government documents state that dealing with oil spills in the freezing waters is "almost impossible" and inevitable mistakes would shatter the fragile Arctic environment. To drill in the Arctic, oil companies have to drag icebergs out the way of their rigs and use giant hoses to melt floating ice with warm water. In these conditions, a catastrophic oil spill is just a matter of time.

From the first draft to final approval, your team's goal is to create a press release that reads like AP copy. But in reality, it's unlikely a reporter would pick up a press release verbatim, right? Wrong. PR NEWS editors recently engaged in a debate with some of our journalistic colleagues about the practice of "picking up" a press release. We maintain that press releases are meant for use as a hook, encouraging journalists to conduct further reporting, or as a summary of facts allowing a journalist to create his own copy around your news.

Sheraton is the only hotel within Iguazu Park which makes it entirely worth it to stay here. You can see the falls from the hotel which is pretty amazing. The daily breakfast is pretty large and diverse. The lodging and feel of the hotel in general (as other reviewers have said) does feel a little dated. Would almost be nicer if it embraced the area its located in more in its aesthetic than the very basic big hotel chain feel it currently has. Nice pool and facilities. Wifi is not free, but was available in your room and reliable. Staff was helpful and you can book your tours directly with a tour agent at a desk located in the hotel.
Be careful though if you fly out of the Brazilian side of the falls as there may be a time difference. We flew on Brazil's daylight savings day and were unaware and nearly missed our flight to Rio.
Also, the hotel is expensive and offers a terrible exchange rate for US dollars. I don't recall seeing this in any paperwork I had regarding the hotel and would have changed over to pesos at the airport had we known this. We received a better exchange rate in town than anywhere else in Argentina and then the hotel screws you with what they offer. Lesson learned.
