Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr photography database, allowing search by: tags(keywords); Flickr photography groups; Flickr users, their contacts, and favorites; free text; the Flickr Explore algorithm for interestingness.

Ruben Gonzalez
Incredible Olympic Story, Best-Selling Author and Award-Winning Speaker
Colorado, USA • General AvailabilityFollow Share
A seemingly "ordinary guy," Ruben Gonzalez wasn't a gifted athlete. He didn't take up the sport of luge until he was 21. Against all odds, four years later he was competing in the Winter Olympics. At the age of 47, he was racing against 20-year-olds in the Vancouver Winter Olympics, becoming the only person to ever compete in four Winter Olympics each in a different decade.
Gonzalez speaks from Olympic experience. He teaches the personal effectiveness system he used to achieve success again and again in both the Olympics and in business. He is proof that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things if they will follow a few simple steps.
From Dubai to Toronto, from Hanoi to Cancun, from Singapore to Africa,Gonzalez has inspired and motivated audiences around the world. Gonzalez's story takes people's excuses away and fills them with the belief they need to achieve big goals.
His client list reads like a who's who of Corporate America: Dell, Coca-Cola, Farmers Insurance, Ortho-McNeil, the Million Dollar Round Table, Oracle, Wells Fargo, Century 21 and even the U.S. Treasury Department.
Gonzalez has shared the stage with speaking legends Zig Ziglar, Denis Waitley and Tom Hopkins calling him a leader of a new generation of personal development speakers.
As a four-time Olympian and internationally recognized expert on developing mental toughness, Gonzalez knows how to achieve success again and again. A master storyteller, Gonzalez uses his Olympic experiences to inspire audiences to think differently, live life with passion and have the courage to take the necessary steps toward their goals— to push beyond self-imposed limitations and to produce better results.
Gonzalez has appeared nationally on ABC, CBS and NBC. He's been featured in TIME magazine, The New York Times, as well as publications around the world. His articles on peak performance are read on every continent. His book The Courage to Succeed has been endorsed by Lou Holtz, Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchard, Brian Tracy and Dr. Robert Schuller.
Armed with the same energy and dedication that he put into his athletic career, Gonzalez brings to audiences of all sizes and backgrounds a truly unique, truly memorable performance that teaches as it entertains and inspires as it motivates.
Because of his powerfully inspiring story, Gonzalez was selected to carry the Olympic torch at the Salt Lake City Olympics.
Gonzalez's story of overcoming incredible challenges on the road to competing in four Olympic Games over the span of four decades goes right into the core of his audience's psyche, filling them with the inspiration and self-belief they need to achieve their goals.

Shingles and PHN: frequently asked questions and answers
Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN)

- Why does PHN happen?
- How common is PHN?
- How can PHN be treated?
- What can I do to help myself?
- Could a TENS machine help?

- Bequests
Shingles (herpes varicella-zoster) is a reappearance of chickenpox. This often happens many years after the original chickenpox infection. In order to prevent half the cases of shingles, and lessen the severity of the rest, a vaccine to prevent shingles is being introduced – see news page.
Most often people get shingles on the left or right side of the torso, on a patch of skin served by nerves from a single ganglion (nerve 'junction box'). This often follows the line of a rib. Sometimes, it will instead appear somewhere else on the face or the body.
Red patches are usually the first sign of the rash appearing, and there may also be:
- Itching, tingling or burning under the skin.
- Pain around the affected area, usually on one side of the torso, sometimes elsewhere on the body.
- Fluid filled blisters that burst and weep and turn into sores. They may not come up all at once, but form and slowly heal over a period of 2 to 5 weeks. The skin then crusts over and heals, apart from a little sensitivity or 'nerve ache' which soon disappears. This may signal the end of the shingles for many people but some people develop post herpetic neuralgia (PHN).
After a chickenpox infection, the virus retreats to a neural ganglion (junction box) in the nerves beside the spine. It remains there in a dormant state for the rest of your life. One day, something 'triggers' the virus and causes it to reactivate (perhaps when you are run down or unwell, but no one really knows why) and it comes out as shingles.
Anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles – and most people have chickenpox in childhood: it is one of the common childhood illnesses and is usually trivial. (Chickenpox in adults can be more severe and if they are seen by the doctor within 24 hours of the onset of the rash, they will be given antiviral pills.)
Shingles is more likely to occur in older people.
People who have not had chickenpox cannot get shingles. (Some people with shingles believe that they have never had chickenpox. This simply means that their original bout of chickenpox was mild and not diagnosed at the time – or they have forgotten because it was such a long time ago.)
There is a new vaccine to prevent shingles which is slowly being introduced. The aim will be to vaccinate everyone between 70 and 79. At present, anyone who was 70, 78 or 79 on the 1st September 2014 is entitled to be vaccinated. This vaccination prevents half the cases of shingles, and the cases that do happen in vaccinated people are milder and less painful.
About 194,000 people, in England and Wales, get shingles every year. About half of these will develop post herpetic neuralgia (PHN).
People do not catch shingles - it happens to people who have previously been infected with chickenpox.
Shingles is infectious for people who have not had chickenpox - but they have to touch the rash to catch the virus. They will then develop chickenpox.
People who have had chickenpox already will not be at risk.
When people who have had chickenpox encounter the disease again, it increases their immunity and means they are less likely to develop shingles.
WORK or SCHOOL: A person can only catch chickenpox by touching the shingles sores, so when shingles is under clothing/ bandage, there is no risk to other workers/students.
Although very rare, shingles can occur inside the eye. It is called zoster ophthalmicus. Only one eye will be affected. This must be treated with antiviral medication: if untreated the eye may be damaged.
Your doctor may prescribe a course of aciclovir (Zovirax) tablets. Or possibly Valtrex (valaciclovir) or Famvir (famciclovir). If treatment is started within 72 hours, it may reduce the severity of the episode. This is why it is important to visit the doctor as soon as you become aware of the first symptoms of shingles so that treatment can be started immediately.
Keep the sores clean, but do not use scented soaps or bath oils and do not rub too hard as this will delay healing. You can soothe the rash with ice pack or a pack of frozen peas wrapped in a flannel or tea-towel (so as not to cause frost-bite) or a soothing lotion (such as calamine) applied to the rash. Some people have found aloe vera gel gives relief.
Aloe vera plant
The 'Ideas from other sufferers ' page lists suggestions from other sufferers.
Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothes preferably in a natural fibre such as cotton.
You may find vitamins help, especially those related to skin and nerve healing like vitamins A, E and B-complex. Most vitamins depend on a good supply of other vitamins to function efficiently, so do make sure your diet contains plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and cereals. Remember - the skin will heal, so try not to worry.
Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN)
PHN is the name given to the shingles pain when it has been going on for a month or more after the shingles sores have healed.
PHN can be felt as "itching", "irritation," "burning," "tingling," "supersensitivity," "numbness" or "soreness" but to simplify our text we will always call it "pain"
Shingles is not something that other people will catch from you - see above.
It may begin as the symptoms of shingles subside and can last a few weeks, months or occasionally years. It can appear several weeks or even months after the shingles has gone.
back to top
PHN happens when the chickenpox virus damages a sensory nerve during the shingles outbreak. The damaged nerve sends abnormal messages or even stops sending them so there is numbness. Sometimes there can be changes in the nerves in the spinal cord - this is why cutting the affected nerve does not cure the pain of PHN. As you get older, your chance of developing PHN increases.
In England and Wales, each year around 100,000 people with shingles go on to develop post herpetic neuralgia (PHN).
back to top
It is difficult to treat this kind of pain. Your doctor can prescribe strong pain killers, but often these have little effect on PHN, although Tramadol has been shown to help. Other strong prescription painkillers (opioids) have sometimes helped some people, so they may be worth a try.
Other forms of medication that your doctor may prescribe can be surprisingly effective. There are pills, plasters/patches and creams – so don't give up hope. It is important to be aware that some of the drugs that are now used as PHN treatments were first developed to treat other conditions. In some cases, these original uses are still the only ones referred to in the accompanying leaflet.
You can see medical treatements in detail with dosages and references.
14.1 - Antidepressant drugs: If your doctor has prescribed one of the tricyclic drugs to combat PHN, you may find it causes drowsiness and/or a sensation of 'dry mouth.' You should start off at a very low dose and gradually build it up. 'Dry mouth' can be alleviated by sips of water or fruit juice, or by sucking a sweet or mint. (NB you can buy sugar-free or diabetic sweets if you are controlling your weight.) These side effects will wear off when you're used to the treatment. As Mrs S. reported: "... it did ease the dreadful pain. I had one or two side effects when taking the pills but I could cope with them - to ease the pain was the main thing and amitriptyline did that."
14.2 - Anti-epileptic drugs: Gabapentin (which was developed to control epilepsy) has been shown to be an effective way to block PHN and has been licensed by the Medicines Control Agency for treating PHN and other neuropathic pains. (In the US it is now used more for controlling pain than epilepsy!) Start with a low dose, and increase to about 400mg three times a day. It does not interfere with other medication you may be taking and has remarkably few side effects even with dosage as high as 800mg three times a day.
14.3 - Axsain cream (made from chilli peppers or 'capsaicin') has been proven to be effective at stopping the pain. You rub it on, or near, the place where the nerves are itching/painful, that is, in the same dermatome region. If the pain is near your eye or under your hair, you can rub the cream on your cheek well away from your eyelid, or on your forehead. Use a small (pea sized) amount 3 or 4 times a day for about 3 weeks. It stops the pain for seven out of ten people. Since Axsain cream can 'burn,' some people rub in an anaesthetic, or numbing, cream about 15 minutes before applying Axsain. This is 'lidocaine BP' which can be bought, without prescription, as a 2% gel or a 5% ointment. If your chemist doesn't have it in stock, s/he should be able to get it in for you. Lidocaine 10% spray can be bought under the brand names Xylocaine or Stud.
14.4 - Versatis plasters are large 'patches' which can now be prescribed for PHN. These are made with a special gel allowing the active ingredient, lidocaine, to seep into your skin. You wear one for 12 hours (day or night as you prefer) on or near the painful area and leave the skin open to breathe for the other 12 hours. They are particularly helpful for people who don't want to take pills.
14.5 - Qutenza (capsaicin) 8% is a new treatment that medical personnel at specialist pain centres around the country are being trained to use. It is a skin patch containing a synthetic equivalent of the naturally occurring capsaicin compound found in chilli peppers. A doctor or nurse will numb the area using an anaesthetic cream and the patch is then applied for one hour. This treatment should reduce or eliminate the pain of PHN for three months, after which the treatment can be repeated if it has helped.

The Shingles Support Society's 19 page information pack includes 2 pages of "Ideas from other sufferers" suggestions from others who are living with PHN. These are alternative ways of dealing with pain. Some of these have not been proved scientifically, so we cannot endorse them, but there are studies showing that many people find them helpful. Send a small donation to the Shingles Support Society. Or you can click through to the shop area here and scroll down the page to where you can order the 19 page "Shingles Pack".
Transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation (TENS) machines give tiny buzzing sensations and these prevent the nerves from sending their false pain messages to the brain. You should be able to try a TENS unit before you buy it to see if you are one of the people who benefits from it - this could be with a physiotherapist or at a Pain Clinic. When you buy one, make sure the company has a money-back guarantee.
The Shingles Support Society's 19 page information pack includes a list of patients like you with PHN who would like to hear from other people.

Perhaps you would consider making a legacy. Thank you!
Marian Nicholson, Director
We know that many people leave money to charities in their wills. We would really appreciate it if you would consider this kind of donation. If you already have a will, you can leave something to the Shingles Support Society in a codicil, that is an addition to your existing will. This is easier (and cheaper) than getting a whole new will.
We were left money by Mr Stone, whose son informed us: "My father found the information that you supplied made such a difference to his quality of life in his final years that he wants others to benefit as well."
Mrs Scott's church arranged a special collection for us in her memory and donated it to our charity. We were very touched.
Mr Goldman asked the Rotary Club that he was very involved with, to send the money raised after his death to us: "The Shingles Support Society is my favourite charity" he told them.
As a registered charity (no. 291657) we submit details annually to the Charity Commission so that it can ensure that we are fulfilling our constitutional 'statement of aims'. You can be sure that your legacy would go to help spread information about treatments for shingles and PHN to everyone who needs it.

Re: Finally - Star Trek audio dramas
Merry Stitchmas said:
T'Cal, with all due respect, there is a world of difference between a book on tape (this includes each and every Trek "audio" with the sole exception of the 3 Captain Sulu audio dramas) and an audio play/drama.
The Borg PC game was adapted to a full cast audio as well, with a little extra narration. After all a full drama was done for the game.
Big Finish (who do the Doctor Who audios) have recently branched out from full cast audio to narrated audiobooks, with a TV star reader and a guest voice, for stories they couldn't do - with unavailable Doctors. And its some of the best stuff they've ever done.
And now they are branching out even further to do licenced Stargate audiobooks.
Books as apposed to dramas are a lot easier to produce I'd imagine, and perhaps easier to enjoy.

Some might say there's nothing better than eating homegrown fruits and vegetables. The flip side of that is the ability to support local agriculture.
Residents had the opportunity to show their support on Thursday during the first day of the Skaneateles Farmers Market at the community center on State Street.
"It gets a little busier every year," said Vaughn Anna of Anna's Rose Hill Flowers on Rose Hill Road.
It seems that once school lets out for the summer and the seasonal residents make their way back to town the market-goers see more faces.
Cut rhubarb was available for sale alongside fresh peas. Although tomatoes and field-grown strawberries aren't yet in season, Anna was able to offer shoppers an early taste of what's to come this summer by offering greenhouse grown strawberries and hothouse tomatoes from Rochester.
Fresh field grown strawberries will be available in June, he said.
With so much to offer, some may ask what his best seller is -- "It all depends on what's in season. Strawberries until the Fourth of July, then sweet corn," Anna said.
With a steady flow of shoppers and a good amount of sales, Lisa McGlynn was also pleased with the first day at market this season.
"It's great. [You] can't beat the weather," said McGlynn, who refers to herself as "the cheese lady" as her business is yet to be named.
The goods she offers range from homemade granola to cheeses such as fresh mozzarella and parmesan. She also carries two brands of New York cheese -- River Rat Cheese, which is made in Clayton, and Muranda Cheese Company based in Waterloo.
Essentially, McGlynn said she offers a "smattering of everything," which customers are pleased with.
Elaine Palmer was busy picking out some cheese and visiting with McGlynn Thursday afternoon. During the summer, the market becomes part of her routine.

The incident was not the only breach of the fragile truce. Eight children and two adults were killed by a blast at a park in northern Gaza and four Israelis were reported to have been killed by cross-border Palestinian mort
JERUSALEM: Gaza militants who crossed into Israel via a tunnel killed five Israeli soldiers in a gun battle near the community of Nahal Oz close to the border with the Gaza Strip, the military said Tuesday.
"(The) soldiers were killed during combat when terrorists attempted to execute an attack using a tunnel shaft, which led from the Gaza Strip to Nahal Oz. The soldiers thwarted the attempt by identifying the squad and neutralising one of the terrorists," the military said in a statement.
The incident on Monday raised to 10 the number of military fatalities For the day.
Fifty-three Israeli soldiers have been killed since Israel launched its offensive on Gaza on July 8 In which almost 1,100 Gazans, mostly civilians, have died in the conflict.

Product description
Jamie Oliver celebrates Britain's very best food in Jamie's Great Britain. Jamie grew up in one of the first true British "gastropubs", which his Mum and Dad still run today. For him, the heart and soul of real British cooking is food that puts a smile on your face. And that's what he wants to share in the new book: the essence of British food, done properly. Over the years, British food culture has embraced flavours and influences from all the people who came and made Great Britain their home. The food reflects an open-minded culture as well as the country's beauty. There are over 100 of Jamie Oliver's favourite recipes: some are indisputable classics, some are his versions of the classics, some should be classics but just haven't been made famous yet and others he's made up from the great bounty of British produce. Wherever you're from, if you love food Jamie's Great Britain will offer you a little taste of happiness. "There is only one Jamie Oliver. Great to watch. Great to cook". (Delia Smith). Jamie Oliver's career started as a chef at the River Cafe, where he was quickly spotted by the television company that made him famous as The Naked Chef. He has since published a huge range of bestselling cookery books, including The Naked Chef, The Return of the Naked Chef, Happy Days with the Naked Chef, Jamie's Kitchen, Jamie's Dinners, Jamie's Italy, Cook with Jamie, Jamie at Home, Jamie's Ministry of Food, Jamie Does, Jamie's 30-Minute Meals and Jamie's 15-Minute Meals.

[Health economics and HTA].
ABSTRACT For a comprehensive health technology assessment (HTA), health economic studies are analysed as well as medical studies. Significance and effects of HTA are rather different in European countries. In Germany HTA is conducted by two official agencies: DIMDI and IQWiG. While DIMDI requires health economic assessments, IQWiG is prohibited from considering economic aspects by law (pure assessment of benefits). For the health economic assessment in HTA reports mainly secondary scientific evidence is exploited, i.e. primarily cost effectiveness and cost utility analyses. The study perspective, the study alternatives and the modelling methods are of great importance for the evaluation and have to be justified in depth. The cost effectiveness ratio and the budget impact are the most important results of the health economic assessment, which is the basis for the appraisal by the health care authorities. For this decision medical, utilitarian or other aspects like the avoidance of unwanted distribution effects are considered. On the other hand often only a few studies are available for the decision making when the appraisal has to be done. This problem might be less relevant in the near future as the number of HTAs and the number of health economic evaluations increases.

ABSTRACT: Pharmaceutical price regulation in Greece is centralized. The National Drug Organization (EOF) is the main regulatory authority functioning under the auspices of the Ministry of Health and Social Solidarity. In 2004, total pharmaceutical expenditure in Greece reached the level of 2.9 billion euro, of which 77.9% were public expenditure and the remaining 22.1% private. According to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data the total per-capita expenditure on pharmaceutical care in Greece is among the lowest in Europe, representing 58% of the EU-12 average. In 1998, Greece introduced a reimbursement list, and the lowest reference pricing system among the 15 European Union member states with the purpose of controlling the growth of pharmaceutical expenditure. The measures proved to be ineffective since pharmaceutical expenditure, after a short-term reduction, continued to increase at similar rates to those before the introduction of price control mechanisms. The average annual increase of pharmaceutical expenditure in Greece over the period 1998-2003 was 7.9%, which is among the highest in the OECD countries (average 6.1%). New pharmaceutical legislation, no. 3457, was enacted on May 8th 2006, aiming at greater access to medicines, improvements to citizens' quality of life, effective and efficient utilization of health resources, transparency in public management, protecting public health, and maintaining long-term financial viability of the insurance system. The innovative aspect of the new legislation is the abolition of the positive list and the establishment of a rebate system granting the National Insurance Funds a rebate rate paid by the pharmaceutical companies. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First to assess the effectiveness of the positive list introduced in 1988 in Greece, using simple econometric models. Second to present the recent pharmaceutical reforms aimed at the introduction of a rebate system and establishing reimbursement pricing based on the average of the three lowest European prices.The European Journal of Health Economics 03/2008; 9(1):87-97.

Quick or more personal—you choose how to search.
In trying to envision a home's suitability for her and her household, women told us they essentially use four aspects or "lenses" when evaluating a home: Entertaining; De-stressing; Storing and Flexible Living. In color-coding our floor plans accordingly, Livability At A Glance makes it easier to visualize how the home lives.
The four Livability lenses also are a better way to search for the perfect home plan. Sure, searching by overall size and number of bedrooms is important—it reduces the number of plans to look at. But Livability Search is different, allowing you to search for home plans based on how you want the home to live. By rating how important each of those four Livability lenses are to you, you'll likely find specific plans that interest you more quickly and maybe discover something about your preferences in the process!

Rather than starting with the elevation when looking at a house plan, women often begin by looking at floor plans. Which begged the question, "How do women look at home plans?"

I do have the tall seat on mine (although I added it after the Mexico trip). The tall seat is quite a bit more comfortable and provides enough additional spacing to the footpegs that I no longer felt the need for the highway pegs as my knees were a lot more comfortable (not just my butt). I will probably eventually install wider footrests but this is more for comfort when standing. The only other advice I would offer is if you haven't replaced the front fender with the new updated one yet I would do that before your trip as the original can break without warning and really mess up your trip. As an aside i have also run heated jacket, gloves and boots along with the BMW heated grips, GPS and cell phone charger without any problems. With all this stuff on high the bike will only discharge if the brake light is on and the cooling fan is on and the rpm are low all at the same time. Good luck with your trip you'll have a blast I'm sure.

We've experienced a huge increase in traffic (12x to be exact) over the past two weeks; likewise, we've received a lot of emails. We took pride in our 24-hour response time to all inquiries in the past, but our small team simply couldn't keep up with this huge spike. We didn't have enough people to respond to everyone's questions, and we were hitting the sending limit of our email system. As a result, we have 3 or 4 days worth of emails in our backlog. However, we've resolved most of the technical bottlenecks, and are starting to catch up on emails.
Please be patient as we work on catching up, and remember that all inquiries will be responded to in the order received. Slowly but surely, we will respond to all of you!

Fun is what you make it!
The truth is... It's better to meet me than read about me. While I've done a ton of "creative" writing in my professional life about mundane (and gross) topics, writing about myself I'm finding is a huge challenge. Some thoughts about me follow. If any of this choppy writing and info about me appeals to you, then let's chat and explore more about each other. That's why we are here, right? I'm looking for a fun, energetic, career minded, spontaneous woman to enjoy life with. Definitely looking for a drama-free zone and no emotional roller coaster rides. I am sarcastic and self-deprecating, you will need to be able to roll with that and play along. I am just not a serious person (outside of work) and making light of the crazy things that make up everyday life is OK with me. I love to entertain and host get-togethers. While not the life of a party, I do enjoy a party. It may take me a bit to acclimate to the social scene, but once comfortable I meld right in. I would like to enjoy physical activities (running, biking, skiing, tennis, golf, volleyball, bowling, etc.) with a competitive, yet playful person. I also enjoy going out to see live music and concerts. (Not a dancer! Well, maybe a slow song or two.) I like to cook and bake. Dinner... I'll handle it. I cook, you clean! That works for me! A great massage is in store for dessert. My passions are my two daughters (12, 7), my family, enjoying life, leading my business to success and helping people. You will find me to be very spontaneous, romantic, sarcastic, serious on the outside - yet way fun and goofy when you uncover the real me. Looking to take things casually and not get too serious too fast. We all deal with plenty of serious stuff on a daily basis, when not doing that I'm looking to have fun and enjoy life as much as possible. You?

Built to win a World Series this year, the Detroit Tigers came close. Now they head into what could be another busy offseason for one of baseball's most talked-about franchises. Although Detroit rolled to the American League pennant, a World Series sweep at the hands of the San Francisco Giants leaves a disappointing taste for the Tigers. It's also important to remember that if not for a late-season swoon by the Chicago White Sox, Detroit might not have made the playoffs at all. Manager Jim Leyland was working on a one-year contract, with he and general manager Dave Dombrowski not wanting to talk about it much until after the season. That's the first of a few issues that probably need to be resolved heading into 2013.

We stayed for 3 nights, bed and breakfast. The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the city centre. It is set in spacious grounds and well back from the (busy) New Dover Road. There is plenty of parking space.
We stayed in an attractive suite, room 103, in the old part of the building. Although facing towards the road, we were not aware of traffic noise and we slept well. The decor, both in the room and in the public rooms, was attractive and well above the standards that we have encountered in other Best Westerns. There was a modern heating/air contioning unit in the bedroom. As the weather was hot, the central heating was naturally not on which meant that we were unable to dry towels. An independent electric towel heater would have been helpful.
The staff were courteous and helpful at all times.
The self-service breakfast was plentiful and with a good range of hot and cold foods. We ate one night in the restaurant. The standard was acceptable and of a similar standard to that in hotels of this type.
We fully enjoyed our stay and we would have no hesitation in recommending the Abbots Barton. less

Branston burglary sees police on high alert
Posted: July 30, 2014|
POLICE are urging people to 'not make it easy for thieves' after a burglar made off with hundreds of pounds of goods after getting into a home via an open window.
Detectives from Staffordshire are appealing for information following the burglary in Court Farm Lane, Branston.
The crooks entered the home through an open downstairs window while the homeowners slept upstairs and stole a handbag, phone, iPad and cash, including foreign currency.
A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: "With the high temperatures, we're enjoying please make sure you don't make it easy for thieves to strike and ruin your plans.
"Ensure all doors and windows are locked and secure if you leave the house, or even while you are out enjoying the garden. It can take an opportunist thief just seconds to reach in, or sneak through, an open door or window and steal valuable items.
"Keep vehicles secure and don't leave all the windows down, or even worse the keys in the ignition.
"Remove all valuables from view and securely lock away garden tools, lawnmowers, barbecue equipment and bicycles when you have finished with them.
"In this particular incident thieves entered the home in Court Farm Lane, Branston, between 12.30am and 8am on Saturday, July 26, while the occupants slept upstairs.
"It is believed they gained entry through an insecure downstairs window.
"Officers are aware of the incident and are carrying out regular patrols of the area.
"Residents are also encouraged to follow crime prevention advice, be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to police.
"If people are going away for the weekend, or heading off on holiday, they should ask a friend or neighbour to keep an eye on their home.
That way they can report any suspicious activity to police.
"We want everyone to enjoy the good weather and be able to relax, knowing their home and property is as secure as it can be."
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Staffordshire Police on 101.

When: 7 p.m. Sunday, Briggs & Stratton Big Backyard, with Chasin' Mason.
His favorite guitar: A 1972 Fender Telecaster. It's a stripped body, so it looks like natural ash wood. It has some holes that have been filled in on it because it came originally with the Bigsby vibrato. . . . So it looks old and beautiful and beat up.
Why it's special: Most of us (guitarists) dream of having vintage Fender guitars. And this particular guitar was given to me by my cousin. . . . It had been under his bed in pieces because he was going to restore it for like, 20 years. And every time I went out to his house as a kid, I would always ask him about that guitar. And then sometime I was touring out there, and he just gave it to me, which I thought was very awesome.
Favorite song (not one of your own) to play on it: "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean," by Waylon Jennings. I'm a hard-core country fanatic, and he's one of my favorite artists.
Your guitar's name?: Lucinda. Lucinda Williams is one of my favorite artists, and I think it's a beautiful name.

I've read some of the other reviews of this hotel and it must have been renovated since some of them were written.
I stayed for two nights to allow me to visit the grottoes at Yungang.
The lobby is impressive and check in was efficient. They don't get a lot of foreigners but one staff member spoke excellent English and the others had some.
My room was clean and comfortable with complimentary water. The bed was excellent. There was free wired internet in the room.
I paid €25 per night which was excellent value.
According to Ctrip the location is 3 km from the railway station - it's closer to 7 km, 15 yuan in a taxi. (Agoda says it's 50 metres from the railway station but I never believe Agoda when it comes to location). It's very convenient for the long distance bus station - 5/6 minutes' walk.
Datong itself isn't anything to write home about. The hotel is in the business district. If you want to go out to eat, turn left when you leave the hotel and then turn right at the next intersection. There's a large mall there and some street food and a McDonalds further along.

We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

After last week's big stock drop, SeaWorld now could face legal action from investors.
A New York City law firm said it may file a proposed class-action lawsuit if it can show that SeaWorld previously knew the documentary "Blackfish" impacted visits to SeaWorld over the past few months. Rosen Law Firm wants to investigate "whether they were aware this movie was having a negative effect on attendance over the last six or seven months," attorney Jonathan Stern said.
Until last week's earnings report, SeaWorld said the 2013 anti-captivity documentary had a negligible effect on attendance. When reporting poor earnings Wednesday, the company said media coverage of pending legislation in California following the movie contributed to attendance declines in San Diego. The legislation would ban killer whales in captivity for entertainment purposes.

Orlando-based SeaWorld Entertainment's stock dropped 33 percent Wednesday after it announced the disappointing earnings for its second quarter, which ran from April through June.
Stern said the firm would look at indicators including insider stock sales. It would also look at whether SeaWorld had conducted market research that might have provided it with insight into public opinion.
Meanwhile, a San Diego group called the Shareholders Foundation also announced that an unidentified law firm is investigating possible securities law violations. The Shareholders Foundation could not be reached for comment. Stern said Shareholders Foundation is not affiliated with Rosen.
A SeaWorld spokesman said the company does not comment on the threat of litigation.
The company's stock closed Monday at $18.90. Its initial public offering price last year was $27.

Is this cable of better quality than the standard one that came with my iPhone? The one that came with my iPhone is falling apart.
My Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable that came with my iPhone is falling apart and it's less than a year old. The plastic casing around the wire leading into the dock connector is peeling in strips and the wires are exposed. I just want to know if the cable I'm interesting in purchasing is of better quality than the standard one that came with my iPhone. Seems like there was a bad batch!

Apple 30-pin to USB Cable

Best Answer:
First, every cable I've ever gotten with the iPhone(first the 3G then the 4) has fallen apart within a year. For a company that makes such an awesome phone they seem to be terrible at designing a cable built to last. As for my answer I don't know if this one is any better but I do know the cable is included under the warranty. Since it's within a year of buying your phone just call up Apple and they will replace it. At least they did for me. Unfortunately, though that one also just fell apart on me and my warranty has since expired. At least I didn't have to pay for two though. Seriously, call them. Their cables are terrible and the more they have to replace them under warranty the better the chances of them designing a better one will be.
