Hello and Help
by C_R_Reflections, Performer
- Created: April 21, 2010, 1:53 am
Hello all you good people,
I am here to day to ask for help in starting a auto detailing business.
1.) What are your thoughts and concerns about being a Mobile business? I mean I will go to their place so they don't have to wait hours in a shop, but in the comforts of their own homes.
2.) What licenses, permits, insurance, etc should be looking into for the state of Oregon?
Pretty good start there.

Good business idea - take your business to them. Being a long time RVer, we have several mobile RV detailers that come to the RV parks and they do a great business. You can always find a SBDC or SCORE office in your area. They are free to use and can help you understand your state's laws - as they operate there as well.
NRiddle | Contributor | 4/21/2010 - 9:34 pm
Being mobile will have some good benefits to your customers since they won't need to go to a physical location and WAIT, which is very annoying in my opinion when it comes to getting your car detailed. You'll also save money since you won't need to have a lease on a business front property. You'll want to county clerks office to find out about specific requirements in your county, you'll probably also want to contact your city hall to see if they have any special requirements. You can then contact your Secretary of State to find out more about business types that will be suit your business model.

Cyndi, What a wonderful niche idea! And although the residential market could be lucrative, you might also want to consider any commercial office building environments (where your marketing would be much easier, but you still may need the Landowner's approval). Anyway, I'm not familiar with your local laws and regulations in your particular part of Oregon, however, I'd suggest that you start your research very local (your city, village, town and/or county). And, in all likelihood, since you may be crossing municipal boundaries, I'd give thought to paying those places a visit as well (just to wear a belt and suspenders, if you get my drift). At first blush, it sounds like it could be a fairly simple business model, fun to execute and since you won't be actually moving the vehicles or creating water run-off, your insurance and permits shouldn't really be an issue... Best of luck to you! Tony O

Hi Cyndi, Check out our automotive industry industry guides for more information on the trade data, financing, and training resources. Here are the guidelines and resources for starting and doing business in Oregon. Feel free to use the Permit Me Tool to see the necessary licenses and permits to apply to. Does anyone have advice or suggestions for starting an auto detailing business?

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we might as well dance!
I have always believed that being alone is immeasurably better than being with the wrong person. Being single was a choice, not a burden. Lately though...I cannot seem to tune out this voice in my heart that maybe there is still something more. I am not sure what I want out of this, exactly. I do know that it would be nice to have someone to share a bottle of wine with at the end of the day, and have those how was your day conversations. Friendship, kindness, and mutual respect, first and foremost, is what builds the relationship and keeps it going strong. My kids are my life. Nothing will ever change that. A man in my life needs to be family orientated and understand that I cannot just pack up my bags and go traveling on a whim...as much as I would love to do that. I believe that people who are unable or unwilling to make their kids a priority will never be able to commit to anybody else. I know this is a lot, and will scare some people, but I also know that a compromise can be found, and a relationship established that benefits all. We've traveled a lot, but loving Fl so far and we are here to stay -:)). I try to look at life through "a glass is always full" kind of way...pessimistic and whiny people are a huge turn off for me. I tend to speak my mind which gets me in trouble a lot, but it's the only way I know.-:). I love animals, have two dogs, and despise hunting. I like to read, stay outdoors hike, swim (love the beach), take my family, two and four legged members, out for a walk. I love coffee, music, tennis, soccer, and movies every now and then. I am a hopeless romantic. I am not a player. I hate these dating games. I don't know how to play hard to get, to say one thing and mean another, etc. I am a simple person...if I want to be with someone I say it. If I don't like them I will say that too. Please just be honest. After reading few some of the profiles I have realized that I should probably add several points in hopes of painting a clearer picture of myself....I am not looking for a father for my kids since they already have one. My ex and I have a good drama free relationship. I am open minded and believe that people have the right to love/marry whomever they choose so if you have a problem with that I may not be the best girl for you. Thank you :-)

ISIS and the Death of the Arab Spring
The nuances of this conflict have never been well-understood in the West, least of all, it seems, by governments in the US and Europe, who, anticipating Assad's sudden departure, made it a condition of any negotiated settlement. The consequences of that miscalculation, Charles Glass contends in this illuminating and concise survey, have contributed greatly to the unfolding disaster that we witness today.
Glass has reported extensively from the Middle East, and travelled frequently in Syria, over several decades. Here he melds together reportage, analysis and history to provide an accessible overview of the origins and permutations defining the conflict, situating it clearly in the overall crisis of the region. His voice, elegant and concise, humane and richly-informed, is a vital antidote to the sloganizing that shapes so much commentary, and policy, concerning the civil war.

text: The Partners in Time! wiki last edited by Darkside_of_the_Sun on 01/27/15 10:01PM View full history Arion, Lord of Atlantis, is transported, in dramatic fashion, thousands of years into the future, arriving in present day Metropolis. Disoriented by his surroundings, Arion lashes out at Superman, who has arrived to investigate the phenomena surrounding Arion's arrival. Before Arion can do any real damage to the citizens, or property, of Metropolis, Superman carries the ancient mage away. Hearing commonalities in Arion's speech to the Atlantean language of Aquaman, Superman is able to communicate with Arion, though in a very limited way. Arion enchants two earrings. As long as both he and Superman each wear one of the earrings, they are able to communicate freely with one another. Another enchantment transmutes an aluminum soda can into solid gold, which Arion offers in payment to the street vendor selling the earrings. With Superman cannily ducking Arion's questions regarding present day Atlantis, Arion explains how he came to be in Superman's time. Arion, Lady Chian, Mara and Wyynde had been in combat with the demon, Chaon. Though Arion had managed to run Chaon through with his sword, the demon suffered no harm. Lady Chian's weapon proved no more effective. After stunning Arion, Choan imprisoned Lady Chian, Mara, and Wyynde within the floor. A coming eclipse brought with it an opportunity for Chaon to unleash darkness and chaos across the world. Arion rallied to oppose Chaon, and found himself hurled into the future. By no coincidence, an eclipse is scheduled to fall over Metropolis. Clearly the two celestial events are connected, which drew Arion to this particular time and place in the present.Superman carries Arion back through the time barrier. As they approach Arion's time, they are blocked by demonic creatures. As Superman is extremely vulnerable to the demon's magics, the Man of Steel turns back. Returned to Metropolis, Superman reluctantly agrees to carry Arion to the present day ruins of Arion's Atlantis. Arion guides the Man of Steel to one sunken tower in particular. Entering they find that ancient magics have kept the sea at bay. The interior of the tower is bone dry. Arion summons the ghost of his father, Caculha, with the last shard of an ancient crystal. Caculha bids Arion to grasp the crystal , so that his mystic powers can flow into his son. The demons from the time stream breech the tower. While Superman holds them off, Arion mystically opens a portal. Arion and Superman travel through the portal into Darkworld, a Hellish realm that allows them to circumvent Chaon's barriers in the time stream. Reaching Arion's time, Superman and Arion attack Chaon. Arion forces Chaon back onto the demon's pentagram, while Superman blocks the light of the eclipsed moon from illuminating the pentagram. As Chaon is consumed by the very cosmic forces he tried to unleash, Superman is hurled back through Arion's portal, returning to present day Metropolis. With Superman back in the present, Arion loses all memory of his adventures in his future.

Susan Yarbrough is a member of this First Unitarian - Museum District Campus. She now lives in Austin and has recently completed her first year of study at Leadville Lombard seminary in Chicago.
Please join us on Sunday mornings for services at 10 AM. Child care is available for nursery and preschoolers. See our Sunday Services page for full details.

I was recently sponsored by Core Power and it's an incredible drink. Core Power is delicious, smooth, and is great for recovery after working out. Core Power is all natural and they don't use any powder in their drink, this is why it doesn't have a funky, chalky taste. My favorite flavor is the strawberry banana and it's awesome for helping me stay strong during and after hours of tireless rock climbing.
I recommend this drink over any other workout shake and if you exercise, compete, train, or just want to enjoy a tasty drink get yourself a Core Power.
I give Core Power a KNS thumbs up!!
USA Climbing Divisional Championship, advancing to Regional Championship. Thanks to Core Power for keeping me strong and well recovered.
For $150 you can't get a better pad. The bright colors of the Mad Pad's actually motivate me to climb. When I use the Mad Rock Mad Pad I'm not afraid to huck at the top of high balls because of how soft and comfortable the landing is. Mad Pad's are pretty much the standard in bouldering and Velcro together to make the Maddest Pad's available. They're very thick and their weight makes them very manageable for long approaches while carrying your other gear.
When it's lunch time the Mad Pad turns into a stylish and comfortable chair with room for you and your best friend. Or if you like naps during lunch, it makes into a bed more comfortable than my own
What can this pad "NOT DO"? It is the one and only pad that works for me!
I give the Mad Rock Mad Pad the KNS thumbs up!
Was blown away by Reel Rock at the Gear Co-op over the weekend. The Stonemaster's were really funny and my dad said mildly inappropriate Hazel Findlay "Spice Girl" sent the hardest E9 trad climb by any girl. She really inspired me to not be afraid to push myself to the limits and do something risky, yet safe, kinda. When Ueli Steck and Simone Moro were trying to climb a new route on Mount Everest without oxygen masks they had a slight Sherpa problem and were attacked by 100 of them, it was crazy and Ueli was sent off the mountain. Mount Kinabalu, on the island of Borneo, was one of the most incredible climbing experiences for Daniel Woods and Yuji Hirayama. They sent a 5.14d and 5.15a on this weird, cool featured rock that I would definitely love to climb one day.
I really enjoyed the movie and felt it was as good as Reel Rock 7.
I give it the KNS thumbs up
We volunteered our near new 10.2mm green/yellow bipattern 2x dry rope for lead climbing at a local comp not to long ago and as a result someone took a whipper and snapped the core. However, upon calling New England Ropes and explaining the situation they asked for us to send them the rope for review. They deemed there was nothing wrong with the rope it just took an incredible fall, so they decided to send us a replacement. Their customer service was above expectations and I may never buy from another rope manufacture again as a result.
This rope feels great when top roping with ultra smooth friction, passes through the GriGri 2 very nicely and feels great on your hands when belaying or repelling.
I give Maxim Dynamic Rope a KNS thumbs up!
Did a competition at Vital Climbing Gym over the weekend and all proceeds were being given to this organization. I thought it was a worthwhile cause because my papa has survived cancer.
You should go to their website and see what you can do to get involved!
First time climbing in these shoes at ClimbX in Huntington Beach for the ABS series. Incredible edging! Great heel hooking capabilities! Well balanced! Made crimps feel like jugs! Easy break in, no blisters, the rubber feels great!
I give them the KNS thumbs up!

The Global Volcanism Program has no Bulletin Reports available for Takahe.
Mount Takahe is an isolated shield volcano in eastern Marie Byrd Land with an 8-km-wide summit caldera. The massive 780 cu km volcano displays a conical, youthful morphology, and the oldest dated rocks are only 0.31 million years old. Three samples were too young to date by Potassium-Argon, and some tephra layers younger than 30,000 years in the Byrd Station ice core are thought to have originated from Mount Takahe. Two early Holocene phreatomagmatic tephra layers in the Antarctic ice core were attributed to Mount Takahe (Palais et al., 1988). The latest stage of activity constructed cinder cones on the upper southern flanks and tuff cones and cinder cones on the lower SW and NE flanks.

Ask her .. she would probably be pretty choosy about what the theme or venue should be. Teens are pretty specific about what they want and don't want. Better to make it HER day and let her choose.

You can give her "limits" with it .. but she should be the one to decide.
Slumber party with her best friends. That's always memorable.
I think setting up a small stage & having everyone perform a talent, or karaoke or even musical instruments if you have them. That would be fun. Theyll pretty much entertain themselves after about 2 hours tops. OR, you could call on your friends & do a show for the guests. Have fun.
Make plans that include social network connections, and even letting them make a "Second Like" charactor. Really at that age the social media and texting is all they want to do.

Lagos — In a matter of hours, some parts of the country will be experiencing solar eclipse. It is expected to take off from Brazil, cross the Atlantic Ocean, permeate into West Africa, find its way to the Coast of Ghana, then cross to Togo and then move into Nigeria, sweep through the western part of the country and then take its exit around Katsina and move into Niger Republic rising towards Libya.
According to metrological experts, five states in the country would experience 30 minutes of darkness. According to the Minister of Science and Technology, Prof. Turner Isoun the states are, Oyo, Kwara, Katsina, Zamfara and Niger, which he said are going to be thrown into total darkness between 9.15am and 9.45am. The remaining 31 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are to experience partial eclipse, he stated.
This year eclipse calls for early preparation and sensitisation of Nigerians to forestall any kind of speculations. The Federal Government has cautioned Nigerians and foreigners resident in Nigeria to prepare for the impending solar eclipse without fear or worry. The police authorities will also be put on alert to curtail any possible break down of law and order as it was the case in Borno State, in 2001 when there was eclipse of the sun which some people interpreted as a sign of evil happening that led to killing of people and destroying of properties.
Eclipse occurrence is not new in Nigeria. One occurred in 1898, another one in 1947 and that of 1959. The most recent was in 2001, the very particular case in Borno State that people did not understand. According to the Information and National Orientation Minister, Mr. Frank Nweke, government said it was nothing ominous in such occurrences. "The Federal Government once again reminded Nigerians about the impending solar eclipse, otherwise known as the eclipse of the sun. This incident occurs at new moon and only if the moon passes between the sun and the earth, which causes the brightness of the sun to be replaced, momentarily, by the black disk of the moon. This does not happen very often but it is expected to take place on March 29.
"I will like to inform Nigerians that solar eclipses are occurrences within the solar system, whereby the moon is directly between the sun and other planets, including the earth, our planet. Many of us would recall that in June 2001, some parts of the world including Nigeria experienced solar eclipse.
"I know it is natural for people to be frightened and react terribly to unusual incidents but I urge Nigerians and foreigners resident in Nigeria not to panic over the expected eclipse. It is not expected to have any real damaging effect, only on social and psychological discomforts are envisaged.
"However,, since eclipses are now of interest not only to scientists but also to the public, I passionately appeal to all Nigerians not to look at the sun directly because it may cause eye ailments that may lead to blindness in the long run. This is why scientists use a special type of glasses or other devices to view solar eclipses. I therefore strongly advise people to stay indoors for the period the eclipse is expected to last", the minister advised.
A lecturer and consultant, department of Geography, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Dr. Nna Oscar Uluocha, explained that eclipse is the obscuring of one celestial body by another, particularly that of the sun or a planetary satellite. The celestial bodies, he said include the sun, the moon and the earth and indeed other planets that could be obscured.
There are two kinds of eclipses that involve the earth. These are the moon or lunar eclipse and those of the sun or solar eclipse. Lunar eclipse Uluocha said occurs when the earth comes in-between the sun and the moon, such that the light of the moon is overshadowed by the shadow that is cast by the earth on the moon, then lunar eclipse occurs.
On solar eclipse, which the country is expecting, the lecturer further explained that it occurs when the moon comes in-between the sun and the earth, such that the moon blocks the sun from being seen on earth. The maximum duration of a total solar eclipse is about 7.5 minutes, but such eclipse are rare, he said, occurring only once in several thousand years.
Technological advancement, he said, has made it easier for people to know when eclipse will occur. "These days one can actually predict the occurrence of eclipse. There is a calendar on that and the celestial bodies are monitored. When the position of the sun is determined, vis-avis the position of the earth and then the moon, astrologers could be able to say that a time like this, we are likely to have an eclipse", Uluocha said.
Because the planetary bodies are on the same plane and not angular, probably, the world according to him, would have been experiencing eclipse on a daily basis. But because they are not in that form and are also in constant motion, it's relatively easier to predict lunar or solar eclipse. He revealed that Nigeria will experience another eclipse in 2010, which will be annular eclipse.
Potential consequences and implications of eclipses from scientific point of view are ascertained. Uluocha maintained that the concept of eclipse, though an old one indeed has not been well understood by man because of the nature of the sun.
"Even the hobble telescope, the biggest and most powerful instrument that is in existence in the world today can not be focused on the sun because of the radiation that comes from it and can easily destroy the equipment. In that regard, the entire world is handicapped, especially the scientific world and the world of astronomy", he said.
But what scientist are still identifying are some possible implications of the eclipse, especially the solar. When there is solar eclipse from his point of view and because it happens during the day time, it usually affects life in one way or the other. For examples, animals he said are usually confused because of the internal-biological clock that works in them, same as human being.
The internal biological clock he explained tells one some certain things to do, like going to bed and time to rise from bed. "When there is eclipse, the internal biological-clock in animals will be telling them that it is not time to go bed. But the physical environment suggest otherwise. So, they become confused, either by obeying their instinct or obeying the darkness that is in place. In that case, those animals will actually go to sleep, then the nocturnal animals will think it is night already for them to operate. So, they are confused, either to launch out their activities or to remain", he said.
He also said it has been observed that before the unset of an eclipse, some animals also begin to migrate. Though, that is one phenomenon that people are still trying to understand whether they have some premonitions that an eclipse is to occur.
From a religious point of view, an eclipse has certain implications. Uluocha reiterated that when the lunar eclipse that occurred in 2001 at the Northern part of the country, it caused a lot of distractions in the sense that the Moslem communities, especially the Almajiris, went on rampage. They thought that the light of the moon was darkened because of the sins of the people.
"They went out to look for the infidels who were accused of being responsible for the darkening of the light of the moon. As far as they were concerned, it was unnatural for the light of the moon to be darkened when it was supposed to be shining very bright. So, they went out destroying properties, hotels, churches, killed non-Moslems, prostitutes, native doctors amongst other things. They felt that what happened was as a result of the sin of the people", he said.
Apart from the social implications of eclipse, it also has an impact on the earth surface. The lecturer explained that when there is usually a solar flare, which is similar to volcanic eruption. Because the sun is made up of a large mass of gas, which is not as solid as the earth, times, it erupts. When there is eruption, the solar flares will shoot-out part of the gas into space, and part of it will spread over and come down to the earth.
That kind of occurrence he said was reported in 2004 in Japan and Britain, when some satellite systems in the sky were destroyed, including telecommunication. However, he noted that solar eclipse, affords scientists the opportunity of studying the solar flare, other than when there is no eclipse. He further stressed that another good side of eclipse is it could be used as dating system in villages.
Head of Environmental and Climate Predictions, Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET), Dr. Ernest Afiesimama, explained that within that period of eclipse, the affected states, will experience a kind of night time situation in the morning hour, such that one would not be able to see with the naked eyes, except aided by well illuminated environment.
He stressed that those driving are expected to put on their full light on as if it is in the nigh time, as it is not going to be a long time phenomenon at the expected areas. Though the occurrence he said may not affect flight schedules, however, he advised that people should keep a widow of some minutes out of their schedule.
Afiesimama advised that people should not regard the eclipse as if something has gone wrong in the universe or wanting to know if it is a bad omen, whether the gods are angry or it is diabolical and so many speculations that may be expected of people who are not sensitised in the atmospheric phenomenon. From his point of view, there is nothing to panic about the eclipse. This is because of the infra-red radiation and the brilliant light that is associated with the sun due to the concentration of helium gas, he advised that looking at the sun with the naked eyes within that period eclipse will take place, should be avoided as that could cause a life-long damage of the eyes.

The 1918 pandemic was estimated at about 2 to 2.5, he said.
"In a sense, it's kind of reassuring in that it is highly transmissible but not exceptionally transmissible," Blumberg said. "On the other hand, we need to keep in mind that, unless you're someone who has already been infected with the swine flu, everybody in the world is susceptible to it. That's the scary part."
Given this vulnerability, Blumberg said, it makes sense that hospitals and communities are taking some extra precautions, such as using N-95 respirator masks.
Authorities have tried various strategies to mitigate the current outbreak, including closing schools, although federal officials in the United States are leaving that decision to local jurisdictions.
Recommended precautions for preventing the spread of swine flu include avoiding contact with other people if you are sick, coughing into your sleeve rather than your hand, and copious hand washing.
But the study authors said larger-scale measures may still be needed.
The study is the first completed by the new Preparedness Modeling Unit at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It may be perfectly normal for a parent to give a child a piggyback ride, but for Lindsay Lohan and her mother that practice is inverted -- the child is doing the heavy lifting while the mother appears happy to go along for the ride.
Dina Lohan, Lindsay's mother, has reportedly been given the chance to do a reality show with E! in which she will try to make celebrities out her youngest children: Lindsay's sister Aliana, 14, and brother Cody, 11. A spokesperson from E! said the cable channel had no comment on the reports of Lohan's show.
The prototype for her motherly celebrity-making process has certainly been made.
Sent to work at Ford Models at the ripe old age of 3, Lindsay Lohan, 20, spent her preteen and teen years doing commercials and acting in soap operas and smaller movies before catching her big break with the 2004 hit film "Mean Girls."
Lindsay has since become a household name and a tabloid regular, as much for her off-camera foibles as for her professional achievements. The not-yet-legal-to-drink Lindsay recently checked in for a second stint in a rehabilitation facility in an effort to reform her hard-partying ways.
Having pushed her daughter for so many years, Lohan seems determined not to let the fanfare surrounding Lindsay pass her by. It was one thing when Dina was photographed leaving Hyde nightclub with a boy-toy while Lindsay was attending AA meetings, but news that she is using her younger children to promote herself has caused a negative reaction from some sections of the Hollywood community.
"What I have for this woman (Dina Lohan) is loathing," said Paul Petersen, a former child star himself and the founder of A Minor Consideration, an organization geared to improving the protection and rights afforded to children in the entertainment industry. "I would like to ask her, 'Have you not seen the condition of Lindsay?'"
A member of the Mickey Mouse Club by 10, Petersen became a teenage heartthrob after becoming a star in the 1950s and '60s sitcom "The Donna Reed Show." Now 61, Petersen is aghast at what he perceives as the exploitation of minors.
"These parents do this as they're cowards who are too scared to go out there and do it for themselves," Petersen told ABC News. "These children are robbed of their right of choice, and their opportunity to learn and grow in life is stolen from them by parents who should go to jail for this treatment."
The reality of children on set has often been the cause of friction.
In 1982, tragedy struck during the filming of Steven Spielberg's "Twilight Zone" when a helicopter being used in the filming was damaged by pyrotechnics and crashed onto the set, killing three, including My-ca Le, 7, and Renee Chen, 6. The film suffered at the box office due to the infamous incident, and as a result regulations were tightened involving children on set during scenes laden with special effects and those filmed at night.
Macaulay Culkin had the world at his feet after the 1990s movie "Home Alone," but he soon fell from the limelight as his mother and father, who was also his manager, battled for custody. Considered by many as a shining example of the pitfalls of child success, Culkin married and divorced by the age of 20 and hit a new low in 2004 when briefly jailed for drug possession.

The hotel was great and very affordable. The wait staff for breakfast was fantastic and very friendly! The breakfast was great! The room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom only had a shower which was fine because we had no time to relax in a bathtub. The pool and fitness center looked great even though we didn't use them. We pretty much only slept there because we were there for Advocare Success School in Dallas! Torchey's Tacos was right next door and was so good we ate there twice! The Hotel was a short 10 minute drive to the Cowboys stadium and conveniently located next to the interstate so you could just hop on. I will definitely stay there again next year! ...

Mattingly challenges Puig to adjust to pitchers
I don't know what Mattingly is on about. Puig had a 159 OPS+ in year 1, 143 last year, 141 so far this year. His K-rate has improved every year (16.5% in this year's small sample), the walk rate is high. OK, he probably won't see that first-year HR rate again but in the article, Mattingly says he's not a HR hitter anyway. Puig's 1200 PA into his career and if pitchers haven't found the solution yet ...

HR Derby to feature brackets, timed rounds
Instead of a set number of "outs" per round, each player this year will have five minutes to hit as many home runs as possible. A running clock will begin counting down upon release of the first pitch, though it will stop for any home run hit during the final minute. The clock will stop immediately after those home run balls land and will not begin again until a non-home run ball lands or the batter swings and misses.

American Apparel Unisex Fitted Tee Black
Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford, KG, KB, PC (26 August 1676-18 March 1745), known before 1742 as Sir Robert Walpole, was a British statesman who is generally regarded as having been the first Prime Minister of Great Britain. Although the position of "Prime Minister" had no recognition in law or official use at the time, Walpole is nevertheless acknowledged as having held the office de facto because of his influence within the Cabinet. A Whig who was first elected in 1701, Walpole served during the reigns of George I and George II. His tenure is normally dated from 1721 when he obtained the post of First Lord of the Treasury; others date it from 1730 when, with the retirement of Lord Townshend, he became the sole and undisputed leader of the Cabinet. The "longer" version of the tenure is generally upheld by the contemporary press, most notably that of the opposition, who focused far more attention upon Walpole than his counterpart.

Adult bathing cap
It's just too small, I had to double check it was an adult not child size. I've had the same caps previously, perhaps speedo makes them smaller now but it sucks because I had to wait for it to come in, then not fit properly. I swim every day, and it's awful when you're preoccupied with fidgeting and pulling your cap to go over your ears and from flipping up from behind!
Not Durable
This cap has an issue with fading and splitting quickly. I was definitely not pleased with it because it wasn't durable at all.

Pupils are hoping they've legged it into the world record books
Posted: May 03, 2014|
Children from two Nottinghamshire schools could become world record holders after taking part in the biggest ever three-legged race.
Soldiers' charity Walking With The Wounded organised for schools up and down the country to beat the current record of 1,860 participants (930 pairs) at multiple venues.
Chetwynd Primary Academy, in Toton, saw 290 pupils run the 200 metres at nearby Chetwynd Barracks at 2pm yesterday.
Meanwhile, 220 Year 7 and 8s at Top Valley Academy ran their "leg" at the school's playing fields.
Related content
As official adjudicators tot up whether all the schools set off at the right time, the children face an anxious wait to see if they have achieved the record.
It is expected to take days, if not weeks, before the results across the country are verified.
For Chetwynd, the event had a special resonance because 25 per cent of pupils come from Army families, many of whom live at the barracks where the attempt was staged.
Year 5 pupil Lauren Potter, 10, said: "It was really fun and amazing – even though I fell over three times. It's quite exciting to think we might be part of the world record – I'm going to be famous!
"If we get the record I'm going to tell everyone. And it's great that it's going to help soldiers who have been hurt – that's important to a lot of us at school."
Classmate Khyra Ashcroft, 10, who lives on the site, said: "It's really important to me, especially because my dad injured his knee. The school does a lot for us because we all move around and our daddies are away on duty quite a bit. Today's been extra special to help raise some money for this charity."
Children at Chetwynd also learned about Prince Harry's work with the charity in class as well as testing which materials are the best for tying two runners together.
"We tested scarves, belts and tights," said Poppy Squires, nine, who is also in Year 5.
"We've learned a lot and it's been a really fun day."
Head teacher Lorraine Tonks said: "The children have been fantastic. All of them couldn't wait to take part. The three-legged race is something we don't see any more but having seen the joy on the faces of everyone taking part I want to bring it back for this year's sports day.
"We get a lot of offers from charities but this one really stood out for us because a quarter of the children are from Army families."
The entire school took part, with children ranging from four to 11 years old involved.
Mrs Tonks added: "We'd like to thank the barracks for all their help and support as well as the independent adjudicators from Tesco across the road. As soon as we rang the barracks to tell them what we wanted to do, they welcomed us with open arms."
Andrew Cook, director of fundraising at Walking With The Wounded, said: "This Guinness World Record is a great way to raise awareness about what we do as an organisation and get a much younger audience involved with our fundraising."

Nepal must end culture of impunity for rights violators: UN
Kathmandu: The UN rights watchdog on Monday
asked the Nepal government to end the culture of impunity and
punish those involved in human rights violations both during
and after the decade-long civil war in the country.
Richard Bennett, Representative of the United Nations
High Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal, said rights
violators should be booked to end the culture of impunity.
Bennett said impunity exists in the country despite
the signing of the landmark 2006 Comprehensive Peace Agreement
(CPA) and that human rights have been disrespected before and
after the Maoists` insurgency.
Earlier, the UN had called for setting up of a
commission to bring to justice all those involved in rights
violations during the insurgency led by the Maoists from 1996
to 2006.
Both the Maoists guerrillas and the Nepal Army were
accused of forced disappearance and violating human rights.
Bennett also asked the civil society to put their
weight behind human rights issues. "I appeal to the civil
society to play an important role in addressing the issue of
human rights in the new constitution," he was quoted as saying
by the Kantipur online in the tourist town of Pokhara.
Rights groups earlier have expressed concern over the
government`s failure to prosecute people responsible for
extra-judicial killings and tortures committed during the
country`s civil war.
"To date, not a single perpetrator has been brought to
justice for grave human rights violations before a civilian
court," US-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Nepal-based
Advocacy Forum (AF) said in a report released in October.

Tilda rice experiments with product placement around Zee
By Maisie McCabe, mediaweek.co.uk, Friday, 26 August 2011 01:00PM
Tilda, the basmati rice brand, is to be the first advertiser to use digital product placement on south Asian TV network Zee, after the network formed an ongoing global relationship with digital product placement specialist MirriAd.
In the first activity following the deal, MirriAd has used its digital software to add the UK design of packets of Tilda basmati rice into 10 episodes of the Zee TV soap 'Pavitra Rishta', including tonight's episode.
No agencies were involved in the deal, which was negotiated between Zee and Tilda directly.
MirriAd partners with broadcasters to place brands and products into programmes after they have been filmed. It already has a relationship with BSkyB, after delivering its first placements for Pedigree dog food and Karcher on Sky1 and Discovery respectively.
Lena Sagar, senior brand manager of Tilda, said: "Media consumption is changing and advertising has an increasingly difficult job of cutting through in an era of Sky Plus. We believe product placement offers a unique exposure and look forward to more opportunities like this."
As well as using its ZoneSense software to add images into video content, MirriAd is able to scan programming to find shots suitable for placement, allow brands and agencies to approve the placement ahead of broadcast, and measure the value of the exposure.
MirriAd is in discussions with other major broadcasters in the UK and is expected to make further announcements in the coming months.
Kian Kormi, vice-president of commercial operations of MirriAd, said: "Product placement is about to be transformed into a new scalable advertising medium, which delivers the right balance of audience enjoyment and guaranteed brand exposure with empirical measurement, and all proven through extensive research."
Product placement has been allowed in the UK since February. Broadcasters must show the "P" logo at the beginning of every show that contains product placement.
