We had a two night stay 17th and 18th november unhappy with room. The bedroom wall was damp and needed decorating and updating as did the bathroom. After reading the reviews which said the rooms were being refurbished by the end of the year we thought this would have been done. Didnt however say which year! Careful when booking trips at the hotel as we were recommended by the lady booking the trips that her friend could do it cheaper and take us to the floating markets and the Temple s the same day which the hotel couldn't offer. Our guide arrived and I witnessed the hotel tour operator paying the lady in the hotel toilet which I thought strange. We were led by her friend to the taxi it seemed that this may be a husband and wife team. The guide was disabled with a speech impediment but dont let that fool you shes still a con. She took us to the floating markets and when we got out charged us an extra 300b each as she said that the price didnt include the boat. She asked did we want to ride on an elephant we said no but she said this was on the way home so we could just look. We stopped and she ushered us to the pay point knowing we had said we were not interested. We refused to pay and got back in the taxi ready to visit a temple. Wrong.. she said she would take us to see a jewellery factory. We said no thanks she said that it was on the way home. We said no again but she insisted. We arrived and were shown into a room showing a video we didnt want to watch this and were not interested so demanded to be taken home. She still tried to get us to go into the showroom we had to get annoyed before she got the message and walked back to taxi. By this time our tour guide was concerned that we might report her to the hotel and she got into the back of the taxi and said please dont complain to the hotel as my friend will get into trouble. We eventually arrived back and she followed us into the hotel to make sure we didnt report her. It was a long stressful day!

Product description
"The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle" is an original classic by Beatrix Potter. "The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle" was first published in 1905, and is as charming today as it was then. It tells the tale of a hidden home high in the hills. It is discovered one day by a little girl called Lucie, who is in search of her missing pocket handkerchiefs. She knocks on the tiny door, and meets Mrs Tiggy-winkle who does all the washing and ironing for the neighbouring animals. Lucie spends a lovely day helping her, and it's only right at the end of the day that she realises Mrs Tiggy-winkle is a hedgehog! Beatrix Potter is regarded as one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", published by Frederick Warne in 1902, she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including "Mrs. Tiggy-winkle", "Benjamin Bunny", "Jemima Puddle-duck", "Mr. Jeremy Fisher" and "Tom Kitten". Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. With revenue from the sales of her books, Beatrix Potter bought a farm - Hill Top - in the English Lake District, where she later became a farmer and prize-winning sheep breeder. She launched the now vast merchandise programme by patenting the very first Peter Rabbit doll in 1903. The product range continues to grow today with licences around the world including baby clothing and bedding, nursery decor products and collectables. Upon her death, Beatrix Potter left 14 farms and over 4000 acres of Lake District farmland to the National Trust so that the place that she loved would remain undeveloped and protected for future generations to enjoy. Today Beatrix Potter's original 23 tales are still published by Frederick Warne, alongside a wide range of other formats including baby books, activity books and gift and sound books. "The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle" is number six in Beatrix Potter's series of 23 little books. Look out for the rest! "The Tale of Peter Rabbit"; "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin"; "The Tailor of Gloucester"; "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny"; "The Tale of Two Bad Mice"; "The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle"; "The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher"; "The Tale of Tom Kitten"; "The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck"; "The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies"; "The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse"; "The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes"; "The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse"; "The Tale of Mr. Tod"; "The Tale of Pigling Bland".

An encapsulated chip capacitor is made by inserting capacitor bodies between two channels of L-shaped cross-section, electrically connecting the capacitor cathodes to one channel and the anodes to the other thus providing terminals, filling the resulting assembly with insulating encapsulant, curing it, and separating the cured assembly into individual chip capacitors.
1. An encapsulated chip capacitor comprising a pair of terminals with a substantially L-shaped cross-section and each having a vertical plate and a horizontal plate meeting in a right angle along a common edge, a capacitor body with an anode and a cathode encapsulated in an insulating material and having an anode lead extending from one end thereof, one of said terminals electrically connected to said cathode and the other to said anode, said horizontal plate of each of said terminals facing each other and extending partway along the same side of said encapsulated body on the outside thereof contiguous therewith and spaced from each other, said vertical plates extending along the outside of opposite ends of said body and contiguous therewith, said vertical plate connected to said anode having a slot partway down said vertical plate from the top thereof toward the horizontal plate and recieving said anode lead.
2. An encapsulated chip capacitor according to claim 1 wherein the extremities of said horizontal and said vertical plates opposite said common edge are bent inwardly forming locking lips and said lips are embedded in said insulating material.
3. An encapsulated chip capacitor according to claim 2 wherein said locking lips of said vertical plate are embedded in said insulating material on the side opposite that bearing the horizontal plate and adjacent said ends.
4. An encapsulated chip capacitor according to claim 2 wherein said slot also extends through one of said locking lips and said anode lead is welded to said terminal adjacent the lower end of said slot.
5. An encapsulated chip capacitor according to claim 1 wherein said cathode is connected to its terminal by solder or conductive adhesive.
This invention relates to encapsulated chip capacitors. More particularly, it relates to an encapsulated solid electrolyte chip capacitor having external terminals which serve as channels during encapsulation.
Encapsulated chip capacitors with external terminals are known. Generally, these terminals are in the form of end caps which are fitted over the ends of the unit. With very small chip capacitors, however, the alignment and connection, both electrical and mechanical, of the end caps becomes a problem. Various methods have been proposed to overcome this problem including the use of jigs, for example as taught by Sobozenski and Stupak in U.S. Pat. No. 4,064,611, issued Dec. 27, 1977, which permits semi-automation of the assembly process. Another method is the placing of the unit in a metal casing, making the electrical connections, filling the casing with encapsulating material, and finally cutting away a section of the casing. Still another method involves inserting the leads through holes in the bottom of a non-conducting U-shaped channel which serves as the package, filling the channel with encapsulating material, and finally separating the units. In two of these methods at least one lead is threaded through a hole, which becomes more difficult as the size of the unit decreases. In the other method, a groove must be cut in the case to separate it into two sections which function as terminals. This cutting or grooving becomes more difficult with small units.
One of the purposes of this invention is to provide encapsulated chip capacitors that may be produced by automated assembly. Another aspect of the invention involves providing an encapsulated chip capacitor with terminals so designed as to not only function as terminals on the final capacitor but also to have served as the channel for the encapsulating material.
Both of these purposes can be attained by providing a pair of metal channels of substantially L-shaped cross-section. The channels are set facing each other but spaced apart so that the capacitor bodies will fit between them. The top and bottom edges of the channels may be bent inwardly to provide a better bond between the encapsulant and the metal terminals.
The capacitor bodies are inserted so that all the cathodes are adjacent one channel and all the anodes are adjacent the other. The electrical connections are made, and the encapsulating material is dispensed into the channel so that it flows completely around the individual bodies. After encapsulant curing, the units are cut apart into individual bodies.
FIG. 1 is a view of capacitor bodies in the channel terminals before encapsulation.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the anode terminal.
FIG. 3 is a lengthwise cross-sectional view of the preferred chip capacitor.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a step in the process of assembling the capacitors. The elongated channels (21 and 22), sections of which are anode terminal (11) and cathode terminal (12), are spaced far enough apart for the capacitor bodies (13) to fit therebetween. The cathode attachments (14) are made by conductive adhesive or solder. The anode lead wires (18) attached to a common processing bar (not shown) are combed through the slots (15) and are welded to the channel adjacent the bottom of the slot, thus aligning the bodies, and the wires are removed. The bent edges or lips (17) of the channels become embedded in the encapsulant and lock the unit to it. Subsequently, the units are separated, e.g., by cutting or dicing, between the bodies as indicated by dashed lines (19) using anode slots (15) as offset alignment points.
In FIGS. 2, 11 and 12 are cathode and anode terminals, respectively, of substantially L-shaped cross-section which face each other. They have a horizontal and a vertical portion joined in a right angle along a common edge. A capacitor body (not shown) is disposed between them and electrically connected to them. Anode terminal (12) has a slot (15) to receive anode lead (18). In the preferred embodiment, the top and bottom edges of both terminals are bent inwardly forming lips (17) which are embedded in the encapsulant (16).
Referring to FIG. 3, anode terminal (11) and cathode terminal (12) are of substantially L-shaped cross-section, and face each other but are spaced from each other. A capacitor body (13) is positioned between them. The anode terminal has a slot (15) in the back portion thereof through which the anode lead (18) passes, and the anode attachment is made at the bottom portion of slot (15). The cathode attachment (14) is made to the other terminal. The capacitor body and that portion of the anode lead to the interior of the anode terminal is surrounded by encapsulating material (16) and bent portions (17) of the terminals are embedded in it. The encapsulant is not flush with the bottom portions of the terminals but is slightly elevated between them.
One method of making the encapsulated capacitors, two channels of substantialy L-shaped cross-section are placed on a base facing each other and spaced from each other for the admission of solid electrolyte-or other capacitor bodies. The base is a processing fixture constructed of material that is non-adherent to the encapsulating material. It may be a plate with a spacer between the terminals. The slot prevents encapsulant material from interfering with the attachment of terminals to circuit boards. Alternately, the fixture may be of one piece and formed with a raised portion down the middle to accomplish the same ends.
The channel which will serve as the anode terminal is slotted to receive anode lead wires of the capacitors, and the slot spacing along the channels corresponds to the spacing of the capacitors and anode wires attached to the processing bars. Thus, the slots serve also as alignment points for later separation of the units. The capacitors attached to this bar are inserted into the channels, and the cathode attachment is made. The latter may be accomplished by affixing conductive adhesive or solder to the cathode channel or/and the cathode end of the capacitor before insertion into the channel assembly under the bent lip of the cathode channel. The anode leads pass down through the slots and the leads are welded adjacent the bottom of the slot. If laser welding is used, the lead is cut at the same time it is welded. The processing bar may be removed at this time. Next, encapsulant is admitted to the channel assembly containing a plurality of capacitors in side-by-side relationship. The encapsulant is cured, and finally the individual units are separated, preferably by dicing, intermediate to each slot. The slots on the anode channel not only assure good metal-to-metal contact for the anode connection, particularly for welding, but also serve as reference points for the dicing operation.
The process permits the assembly of a plurality of units at a time and lends itself readily to automation.
The final capacitor itself has terminals which can be attached to circuits by usual means, e.g., reflow soldering, and which, because of the locking lips embedded in the encapsulant, does not peel away or otherwise separate from the encapsulant. Briefly, it has two terminals of substantially L-shaped cross-section, facing each other; the vertical portion of the anode terminal is slotted through the top edge partway down this portion. The top and bottom edges of both terminals are bent inwardly forming locking lips. Preferably, the capacitor body is attached to the cathode terminal via solder or conductive adhesive and to the anode terminal by welding the anode lead to the slot adjacent its lower end. However, the anode connection may also be made by conductive adhesive or soldering. The entire body is encapsulated, with the locking lips embedded in the encapsulant.
At the present time, encapsulating materials with the desired properties for use with capacitors do not adhere well to the metal of the terminals. The requirements the metal must meet is that it is solderable and weldable, e.g., nickel, copper alloys, gold-plated nickel, iron-nickel alloys, etc. The encapsulant must have a high enough viscosity to be retained by the channels on and around the capacitor bodies but still be able to flow into crevices and around corners. Alternately, a transfer molding process may be used to encapsulate the units. Obviously, the edges of the terminals need not be bent into the lips if the encapsulating material bonds well to metal, thus simplifying the manufacture of the terminals.

come on girls, there is nothing bad about this other than the longevity.
I would categorise it as a floral fruity with a backbone (that is cedar). Unlike the Escadas and Moschinos this smells playful and elegant at the same time. I can smell raspberries first of all. A little bit of citrus only (myself not a fan of citrus fragrances , which is a sign there is no tangyness overdone here). Gardenia and Cedar to further balance it.
Like I said it is kind of a careless and happy scent yet elegant, a lot less cloying than its sister J'adore. I would say it feels like wearing elegant white designer outfit in summer and no lingerie under.... I know ;)

The durable captain broke his left ankle and is out for the rest of the postseason. Three innings after Raul Ibanez sent the 47,122 in Yankee Stadium into a frenzy with a tying two-run homer, the New York shortstop silenced the crowd when he went down and didn't get up after making a tumbling stop on Jhonny Peralta's grounder in the 12th inning. That feel-good moment was gone in a flash. Jeter appeared to stumble as he took several steps to his left for the sharp grounder, went down and winced in pain as he flipped the ball toward second base. He then rolled onto his stomach, and a collective gasp was heard when the player who symbolizes championship baseball didn't get up. Jeter remained on his side, rolling slightly, as trainer Steve Donahue and manager Joe Girardi checked him out. He...

Aggression and Hitting

Mine is also 17 months old, and although he is not aggresive with other kids, he has started to HIT HIMSELF. And sometimes he even gets his frustration out on mommy or daddy and hit us too :( I immediately, tell him no, that that is not good and that he can hurt himself, but he keeps doing this whenever he is frustrated... I mentioned it to the Doctor and he said that as long as he is interacting with other kids, and not HURTING himself, like seriously hurting, thats "normal".
This is not the same, but I thought it might me good to share so that you dont feel alone :) I have also read, that kids like to hit other kids to see their reactions and explore behavior with their peers, so I guess that could be why he is doing it. Just keep telling him and monitoring the playdates, hopefully he will grow out of it ;)

If it were myself, I would say, "No, hitting hurts!" It's a stern voice. He seriously may not know/understand that if he has never been bit or hit. If it continues to happen, I would do a 'time out' to relax and reflect. Even though they are still small, they are learning cause and effect. Primarily at this age. LO will realize that if he hits, he won't be able to play, within a few time outs.

LO can be a hitter and a biter.
I show him how to be gentle . sometimes, you have to do it over and over and over again until they get the point. if tantrum insues, i leave him there to work it out -- i dont let him continue to play if he is goign to continue to hit. they are starting to understand cause and effect now.
He hit his cousin the other day with a plastic bat and I mean it hurt... i made him give her a hug -- oh he wasnt happy about it, but he did it and then they continued to play.
I found if i dont tell him NO and if i dont give him the reaction he is looking for, the hitting doesnt last as long. He will bite himself when frustrated, i just tell him that he should hurt himself and redirect his attention.
anyways - i think its normal and just keep showing him how to be gentle.
or talk to your ped if you are seriously concerned.

I know kids (toddlers) can get frustrated and angered easily, but i think you may need to research new ways to redirect and punish. My daughter was becoming a "bully" but being around her older play date friends, they fixed her quickly. Only issue is now my friends kid is the one being a bully and its actually hurting her feelings to the point that she cries now. Her friend will no matter what my daughter is doing, even just looks in her direction, SCREAMS in her face till she cries. Its hurtful for a parent to see that, and my friend has yet to learned the right way to go about fixing it, but till then, i just comfort my daughter.

I think it's sounds like pretty normal behavior. My LO will wack his older brother and pull his hair sometimes. In my own experience, it tends to go away once they can speak. I'd verbalize what you think he wants to him so he knows you understand: "I understand you want the toy, but you cannot hit. No hitting. Let's go get the ball." Or whatever. But I think that helps because at this age, they can understand so much, but they can't communicate it.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Matt Pye, brandrepublic.com, Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:30AM
In the immediate aftermath of the London 2012 Olympics, it was gratifying to note that more than one source handed Samsung the gold medal for most effective sponsor cut through during the Games, not least because I work for the agency behind much of the advertising and activation around Samsung's campaign.
But over and above the admittedly warm glow that came from such acknowledgement, there is a very pragmatic realisation that for advertisers, this Olympics was a game-changer at a subtle but fundamental level.
Not only was this the first digital and social Olympics, but it was arguably the first where the 30-second television spot was relatively moot.
It's now common knowledge that more than half the population in Europe watch television with another device at hand - the multiscreening effect - causing further fragmentation of the advertising message.
At the 2012 Olympics, this was exacerbated further by the fact that the Games were aired on the BBC.
For most households, any other channel was sacrificed for wall to wall Beeb, with the obvious impact on television advertising.
So with less lean-back advertising, what really got cut-through at these Games?
For Samsung, the key to success was integration. As well as the plaudits, the first set of figures show that the push delivered results too:
In my book, the undoubted winners were those brands that executed unavoidably integrated campaigns; those that extended the personal interaction beyond the television spot to engage consumers across all appropriate channels.
And it was also those brands which were brave enough, and sometimes fast enough, to turn around a cute idea that was bang on brand message.
Many column inches have already been devoted to the former; those brands, like Samsung, that truly activated their sponsorship. Here's my selection of the latter:
No doubt there are many more examples of marketing creativity at its wittiest best - and hopefully more to come as the Paralympics kicks off next week.

I have just installed the ProTrac on my Slash. Its a good thing I got 25% off on it, after tires new bearings shock shafts and a bunch of other stuff, I'm into this upgrade at about $125. Anyways, I have read up and looked at a bunck of videos on the ProTrac kit, and it looks like the Losi XXX green and blue shocks work about the best with the kit. The only problem, none of the hobby shops carry them, I have ordered them, but it will take another week for them to come in.
So, I am experimenting with springs, I have a big'ol bag of them, but have no idea what rate they are. If I understand spring rates properly, it is the amount of force required to compress a spring 1", correct? This seems too simple, too easy, intuitively I thinking I can take a small ruler, push the spring down on the scale 1" and what ever the scale says, that is the rate for that spring; is that it, or is there something more that I have to do?
ProTrac Kit...
It might just me be, but this seemed like it was a tricky build, at least the front part was, the back fell together quite nicely. I was a little annoyed when I noticed that there were no instructions in the package, but a quick trip to Proline's website and I found the detailed build video. Anyone else find that they had to watch the video a couple of times to get the front end put together right?
Now that it is back together, I have noticed a lot less body roll, and the truck does seem to track a lot better. This is with 45wt oil all around and stock tires, the glue is curing on the new rubber... Something else I have noticed is the front-to-back weight is different, the CG seems to have moved back and at full throttle the front wheels barely contact the ground (I can turn the front wheels full let and right a just barely change the path of the truck).
What are some setup tips the ProTrac? (I am still using the Ultrashocks)
I think my next upgrade will be a LCG chassis from Anza or Proline...

10 Vintage Oscar Moments
We've got some guesses as to what's going to happen at the Oscars this Sunday. Nick Nolte's already told us about his pet crow, so we're guessing it's just going to be women wearing insanely expensive, unnecessarily frilly, sparkly dresses giving canned answers and men in tuxedos posing for cameras.

Local IHOP hit in federal raid
EVANSVILLE - Federal agents descended on the IHOP restaurant on Burkhardt Road on Evansville's East Side Tuesday morning as part of an investigation that involves seven IHOPs in Indiana and Ohio.
The reason for the raids wasn't immediately clear, as the FBI declined to give details.
"The search warrant is under seal," Special Agent Scott Wilson of the FBI Cleveland Division said, "so I can't disclose the reasons why we're searching."
Wilson said the warrants are being executed at six restaurants in Ohio and the one in Evansville. Wilson said IHOPs near the Ohio cities of Toledo, Lima, Findlay and Perrysburg also were raided.
Wilson said agents from the Internal Revenue Services, the FBI, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (the investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security) were involved. Wilson also said that he did not know if anyone had been detained.
He would not confirm or deny a broadcast media report that said the investigation is tied to "money laundering to terrorist groups in the Middle East," but he said the information did not come from the FBI.
Patrick Lenow, director of corporate communications for DineEquity, parent company of IHOP and Applebee's, said the company and franchise owner Terry Elks are cooperating.
"We have been told by authorities it does not involve terrorism," he said.
Lenow said some of the affected restaurants have been cleared to reopen.
The Evansville restaurant, at 601 N. Burkhardt Road, was closed through Tuesday morning. FBI vehicles, Evansville Police Department squad cars and a U-Haul moving truck were outside.
Throughout the raid, agents took white cardboard boxes in and brought out at least seven with contents inside. They placed those boxes and what appeared to be computer hard drives into the U-Haul.
The Toledo Blade was reporting similar searches and seizures of documents at IHOPs in the Toledo area.
The Evansville restaurant reopened for business shortly after noon.
"We are open back in Evansville. We are sorry about all of this," said Tarek Omar, the manager of the local IHOP.
Omar said he's been manager for about seven years and nothing like this ever happened. He and other employees declined to answer questions about the raid.
The raid, only signified by a barricade and the U-Haul truck, didn't seem to affect patrons' willingness to eat there: A few dozen cars went around that barricade while the restaurant was down.
One woman, who declined to give her name, was the first customer after the raid didn't appear to be bothered by it. When she was told that they would be open soon, she waited some 10 minutes.
"The waitresses are fun," said Marvin Fulkerson, 74, of Henderson, Ky., who was in town with his wife, Pat, 73.
"It's always been good service, and they've always gotten our order right."
"They've got good food," said James Wade, 73, who was with his wife Helga, also 73. He likes the omelets; she likes the Swedish crepes. "We're disappointed," James Wade said about the restaurant being closed when they came about noon.
The news of the FBI being there did appear to affect at least one person. She got out of her car unaware of the situation and got back inside her car when she heard the news.
It's unclear if she ate there, but an apparent IHOP employee requested her business as she sat in the car, telling her about specials that the restaurant was having.
About 6 p.m., an IHOP employee said the store had normal business Tuesday, which was "Kids Eat Free Day."
This is a developing story. Check back for more updates as they become available.

Crisply executed dialogue elevates 'Understudy'
"All I see are movie stars movie stars movie stars," laments Harry, the journeyman actor in Theresa Rebeck's rollicking "The Understudy," now on stage in a fun Renaissance Theaterworks production that opened Saturday night. "It's like a disease," Harry continues. Or "maybe more like 'pathology.' Or 'ongoing cultural disaster,'" he concludes.
All true enough, if one is keeping track of the numerous Hollywood stars making fools of themselves on Broadway. But as Rebeck's title suggests, Harry is now understudying one of them: an action-movie stud named Jake, himself improbably understudying an even more famous Hollywood co-star. »Read Full Article

Rare 1852 Assay Office Fifty Dollar Gold AU531852 $50 Assay Office Fifty Dollar, 900 Thous. AU53 NGC. K-14, High R.5. A surprising amount of luster remains evident on the surfaces of this AU "slug", from the United States Assay Office. The coloration is a rich greenish-gold with substantial accents of coppery-orange coloration. Like many others of its type, this large-format coin shows a number of small to moderate abrasions, indicating that it served actively in the channels of commerce.
The increase in stated fineness from .887 to .900 (from Kagin-13 to Kagin-14) was significant, as the federal government had imposed a moratorium on the acceptance of any private gold issues, by the San Francisco Customs Office, of any fineness below .900 (or 90%). Local merchants and bankers were reluctant to accept any coinage that would not be acceptable for the payment of customs duties. The solution to this problem was the production of .900 fine fifty-dollar coins. Soon after, ten and twenty dollar pieces were being minted in substantial quantities, and the fifty-dollar "slugs" eventually became obsolete.
According to Kagin (1981), these 1852-dated pieces were actually produced in the first two months of 1853: 13,800 in January and 10,000 in February. Not surprisingly, considering the relative value of fifty dollars in the 1850s, only a fraction of those 23,800 coins still exist, the remainder having been melted long ago. As of November 2007, just 110 pieces have been certified by NGC and PCGS combined, including any possible resubmissions. Listed on page 355 of the 2008 Guide Book. (PCGS# 10019)

WINTERSET — The Creston/Orient-Macksburg girls golf team did not have enough golfers to figure into the team competition here Saturday at the Winterset Tournament, but it was still a successful day for the Panthers.
Creston/O-M senior Sarah Waigand won medalist honors for the tournament, shooting 94 for the 18-hole competition.
"The wind picked up in the p.m.," Creston/O-M head coach Jan Lesan said. "But that did not bother Sarah."
Waigand, who shot a 49 on the first nine holes, bounced back in the windier conditions to shoot a 45 for the second nine holes.
Her round of 94 gave her a five-stroke win over runners-up Katy Forsythe of Norwalk and Jordan Jackson of Winterset.
Hannah Hagle finished with a score of 104 and Camryn Somers shot a 105.
"We played very well, and if we would have had another player, we could have won," Lesan said. "For all three girls, this is their best round of the season."
Norwalk won a tightly-contested team competition by four strokes over host Winterset, edging out the Huskies by a score of 420-424.
The Panthers return to action this afternoon against Clarinda at Crestmoor.
Lakeview Country Club
Team standings — 1. Norwalk 420, 2. Winterset 424, 3. Clarke 447, 4. Perry 564.
Individual leaders — 1. Sarah Waigand, Creston/O-M, 94; 2. Katy Forsythe, Norwalk, 99; Jordan Jackson, Winterset, 99.
Creston/O-M — Sarah Waigand 94, Camryn Somers 105, Hannah Hagle 104.

This glowing specimen of a swallow is ready to swoop in and bring spring with him. Made with simple, sleek silver, the plique a jour wings contain the colors of the dawn, shades of light to medium blue to light purples and touches of pink. The plique a jour is in excellent condition and the soft, but lustrous colors give movement and life to its sweeping graceful lines. As a lover of swallows myself, I can only stand back and admire such a beautiful piece.
Condition: Very good antique condition, excellent condition of the plique a jour itself. Measures 1 ¼" from beak to tail feathers, and just over ¾" from wingtip to wingtip. The plique a jour only has hairline cracks invisible to the naked eye, only visible under microscope. No empty cells or pieces missing. The tarnish has given it a very, very slight orangish tint in places, but it tested out as silver. That does not mean, however, that it is sterling silver (which is 92.5% silver), it could be a slightly different mix of silver and traces of other metals that lead it to tarnish a little differently. The tarnish removes as easily as any other tarnish though, so I do not consider this an issue. The c-clasp looks to be original, but the pin and pin hinge are almost certainly a repair, though it must have been well and carefully done to avoid damaging the plique a jour.

Currency Investors Turn to Emerging Markets
The move is a reaction to the recent headaches surrounding the euro and the longer-term woes of the dollar and the yen.
Following in the steps of stock and bond investors, currency investors are shifting out of the U.S., Europe and Japan into the world of emerging markets.
The move is a reaction to the recent headaches surrounding the euro and the longer-term woes of the dollar and the yen, long the bedrocks of currency trading.
Emerging-market debt funds, which typically offer currency exposure through holdings of short-term government, or sovereign, bonds, have almost doubled their assets in the past year to $50 billion, according to fund tracker Morningstar.
Assets in the WisdomTree Dreyfus Emerging Currency Fund CEW -0.33 % ETF, one of the more popular emerging-markets currency ETFs, have almost doubled in the past six months to almost $600 million. This month, Guinness Atkinson Funds launched the Guinness Atkinson Renminbi Yuan & Bond Fund, the first open-end mutual fund to offer U.S. investors exposure to China's currency. (Chinese currency is off-limits to foreigners; it gets exposure via the Hong Kong market.)
"There are a bunch of economies that aren't debt laden and are improving their balance sheets, while the balance sheets of the U.S. and Europe are deteriorating," says Karl Mills, president of investment advisory firm Jurika, Mills & Keifer.
The major research firms don't track emerging-market currency funds as a broad category, but there have been plenty of winners. The WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund BZF 0.66 % ETF returned 20% in the past year. The Lord Abbett Emerging Markets Currency Fund, which has more than 30% of its assets in the Mexican peso, the Singaporean dollar and the Polish zloty, is up 11%. Funds with more of the world's big three currencies have typically returned in the low- to mid-single digits.
Still, experts urge caution. In addition to the boilerplate risks that come with currency trading -- volatile markets, highly-levered investments -- the funds that invest in less-popular currencies have additional drawbacks. First, there is the wide variation in how currency funds get exposure: Some use foreign bank deposit accounts, others use derivative contracts. Among debt funds, some invest almost solely in government debt, others buy corporate debt, which can be riskier, and may use derivatives to bet against currencies.
Each has strengths and weaknesses, strategists say,but investors need to know what they signed up for. "A lot of people may not be getting the exposure they want," says Ugo Egbunike, currency analyst at IndexUniverse, publisher of an ETF newsletter. "The key is to understand the exact strategy, because they differ so much."
For the near term, UBS emerging-markets strategist Bhanu Baweja likes currency-only funds or bond funds that trade in local currencies (called locally denominated), which typically pay a notable yield. For currency funds, Mr. Egunike says CurrencyShares ETFs hold actual currencies (as opposed to derivatives) and pay investors the rate they would get if their funds were in a savings account in that country. For bond funds, Qi Lu, senior portfolio strategist at Altfest Personal Wealth Management, likes the Developing Local Markets fund run by Pacific Investment Management Co., and TCW Emerging Markets Local

56 year old man | La Fayette, IN, USA | Seeking women 37-51 within 75 miles of Lafayette, IN
Looking to meet someone to enjoy and share the rest of my life with.
Where should I start: Well if you are looking for Rich Man, someone very sexy and hot with great abs, and hot body, someone that has life all together with no problems, then you dont need to read any further - Just go on to next guy because that is not me. The last 3 years of my life have been very difficult very challenging and very hard. I have been thru divorce, I have had my last parent die, my dad, and just overall has been rough 3 years. Life is not easy, but no one ever said it was easy or fair. So I think it is time to start moving forward and looking to date again. I told you a little about who I am not, so I will tell you a little about me. I am a nice guy, maybe sometimes too nice. I am a hard worker. I treat people good, and hope they treat me the same. I dont mind working for a living. I am ok when it comes to looks (i think in my opinion), I am a stocky build, my ex - says like barney on the flintstones. I would love to spend time doing outdoor things, especially with water sports, scuba diving, water skiing and things, Want to enjoy companionship, mabye some traveling and other fun things. I am someone who likes things simple, and am not looking to control someone's life, just want to fit in a little and enjoy some time together. Hopefully find the right person to enjoy the later years of life together. I think at this point in life a friend is the most important part of the relationship, someone to enjoy walking, talking, watching tv, riding bikes, just doing nothing. I want to find an honest woman, someone who also has worked hard in her life, someone who feels pain, feels happiness, feels sadness, and feels love Someone who doesnt wan to spend the rest of her life alone, but share it with someone who she can call her best friend. If what you have read doesnt scare you away feel free to email, with any other questions you may have.

32 year old woman | Kitchener, ON, CAN | Seeking men 28-36 within 60 miles
Fit, active and drama free!
Hi :), I'm easy-going, and I have a curiosity to try new things. I'm down to earth, ATHLETIC and open-minded. I'm a kind, thoughtful and generous person and I care a LOT about other people. I'm looking for similar qualities in a partner. I like to make people feel important and appreciated, and I go out of my way to give and enjoy receiving, acts of kindness. Mutual RESPECT is of utmost importance in any relationship. I value people who have good morals and make good choices for themselves and to support the people around them. Having a strong connection with someone - physically, emotionally and mentally is important. I'm compatible with people who are honest, good communicators, genuine, and CONFIDENT. I gravitate towards those who are accepting and lighthearted. Someone who has INITIATIVE, and is ambitious in life. Someone who makes choices towards positive change for the future. I'm always striving to be a better person. I hope you are too! Please be honest and know what you want. I'm attracted to confidence, an easy-going personality and a willingness to make me laugh. Being happy is very important, and I would never settle for anything less; nobody should. I love to laugh, and I smile often - you should too! I think we should search for happiness in every day. Living an ACTIVE and HEALTHY lifestyle is also something I value, and while it's effortless to share similar interests, it's definitely not a requirement. Teaching and learning from each other can be quite exciting! If what you see here looks awesome to you, and you're awesome, then I look forward to hearing from you! ;)

Pretty much anywhere outside. No matter what the season, I love being outside, getting fresh air, and being active. I prefer to 'do' things, rather than just sit around. Travel: Peru, Costa Rica, Tanzania, Nepal, Philippines, Iceland....
University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON
I thrive on being active, in the company of good people. Being surrounded by positive people is what makes my 'favourite things' my favourite.
I prefer to stay active in my spare time. I rock climb, and compete in triathlons in the summer. In the winter I snowboard, snowshoe or love just getting out for a walk. I have a passion for travel. That said, I also really appreciate down time too!
The last book I read is "Into Thin Air," which is about an ascent of Mt. Everest that went terribly wrong. A few years back I hiked to the base camp of Everest, so there was a purpose for reading a book of this nature.
