|Key Info
Villa Luana is a hydillic 17th century country villa in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, but within easy reach of the most beautiful Tuscan attractions, just 20 minutes from Lucca, 40 min. from Pisa and Forte dei Marmi, 50 min. from Florence, and close to many other famous places. The villa has a beautiful private swimming pool and a very large garden. The villa can sleep up to 11 people on two floors.
The villa was born from the love and care of Luana and Roberto, two thoughtful and caring Tuscan grandparents who wished to unite their family for the holidays or on special occasions. It took them as long as 10 years to renovate their 17th century home, with great attention to every detail, choosing the best materials and painstakingly seeking the best piece of furniture for every room.
The same enthusiasm and attention to detail was devoted to the grounds which have been turned into a beautiful park, entirely fenced, with a pond and a large fountain, a modern swimming pool, wonderful trees, plants and an orchard, and lots of grass for children to run and play. Luana and Roberto make sure the pool and the park are always cared for and in pristine order.
In the garden closest to the villa there are table and chairs for dining "al fresco" or just relaxing and playing cards. In the park surrounding the villa there is a wonderful private modern swimming pool, always kept in excellent condition. It measures 10 by 5 m. and is 1.40 m. deep. On one side there are large steps that go down into the water, to sit, sunbathe and relax whilst in the water, or for children to feel safe.
To the side of the pool is a sunbathing area with deck chairs and parasols.
With the materials recovered during the refurbishing works the owners built a small stone building with a barbecue area and a typical Tuscan wood burning oven traditionally used to cook pizza and bread of the most delicious kind.
Concerning the villa itself, you enter on the ground floor into a hall area. It is enough to take a look at the original tiles of the flooring, the wooden beamed ceilings and the original staircase to enjoy the charm of this century-old villa.
Turning left from the hall you will find a large living room with a very large sofa, a two-seat smaller sofa and two armchairs, a big fire-place, a table, a flat screen TV, a French window with exit onto the garden, and a door with exit onto a beautiful veranda equipped with basket table and chairs.
Turning right from the hall you will find a large typical Tuscan style kitchen with a big fireplace, table and chairs, a stone basin, a TV, a fridge, a freezer, a stove/oven, a toaster, a dishwasher and a French door with exit onto the garden.
On the ground floor there are also a bathroom and a double bedroom, which can be accessed from the living room, the kitchen, but can also be entered by an independent access on the other side of the building. All the rooms on the ground floor have terracotta tiled floors and beamed ceilings.
If you take the original stone stairs to the 1st floor you will find a gorgeous bathroom with 2 wonderful marble basins, a wc, a bidet and an elegant and wide shower.
At the end of the hall on your left you will find the largest and most beautiful bedroom of the house (8x5 m.). It is furnished with a double bed, a large wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a stone fireplace, a single bed. There is also a large window on one side and a French window looking down onto the veranda on the other side.
On the first floor there is also another double bedroom with a wardrobe, and there are two large carefully furnished twin bedrooms, both with two iron-framed traditional Tuscan single beds, a large wardrobe and a window with view of the garden and the surrounding countryside.
There is also a modern and functional second bathroom with a wc, a bidet and a shower.
All the bedrooms have beautiful parquet tile floors and wooden beamed ceilings.
Luana and Roberto have really made an effort to create a very pleasant and elegant atmosphere.

Villa Luana is the ideal accommodation for a family or group of friends up to 11 people who want to visit the main attractions of Tuscany, because of its strategic position only 5 km away from the highway connecting Florence, Pistoia, Montecatini (Thermal Baths), Lucca, Pisa, Viareggio (seaside), Forte dei Marmi and other famous places. Villa Luana is the perfect location to visit the main attractions of Tuscany.
In the centre of Orentano, less than 5 minutes away, you can find grocery stores, cafes, a butcher and a traditional baker. There is also a well-known pastry shop still following an old tradition of pastry making.
To eat out we reccommend the Trattoria-Pizzeria da Benito, one of the most famous restaurants of the area. It has attracted more than 400 reviews on Tripadvisor from fully-satisfied customers. Their absolute specialty is the typical very thick grilled Tuscan steak, absolutely delicious at an affordable price, but they also serve traditional starters, pasta dishes and pizza. Remember to reserve a table in advance because the restaurant is always fully booked.
Within 15km distance there are also a golf course, thermal resorts, tennis courts and many other activities.
Guided wine-tasting tours can be arranged for you, as well as any other activity you might be interested in. We can arrange visits to artisan ceramic or copper pot workshops, we can reserve concert or theatre tickets for you, etc… according to your interests.
We can also organize your wedding, anniversary, birthday party or other events and take care of all the details.
Here in Orentano you can enjoy the wine and the olive oil produced not far from the villa or the typical food of our area. We can arrange to have groceries delivered to your door by the local shop keeper on his bicycle.
Orentano is well known for the "Sagra della pizza" – a pizza and beer festival where you can experience the hustle and bustle of Tuscan life and at the same time eat pizza or grilled meat and listen to music. The traditional local "Sagra" takes place throughout June and July.
The ancient pastry tradition of the village is celebrated every year with a local event called the "Cream puff Festival" ("Sagra del Bignè") , on the third Sunday of August.
There are other "sagras" (festivals) of all kinds in neighboring towns and villages. There are also historical festivals like, for example, the Medieval Festival in Monte Castello, Lucca, Nozzano, Buti, and many other places which take place from May to September, but especially during the summer months of June, July and August.
Only 5 km from Orentano you can find the small town of Altopascio with all kinds of shops and a market on Thursdays. You can also find supermarkets and other stores (furniture, clothes, shoes, etc..).
From Altopascio you can catch a train or take the highway to go and visit Florence, Prato, Pistoia, Lucca, Montecatini, Viareggio, Pisa, and many other places. The famous historic and art cities of Florence, Pisa, Lucca, etc.. or the sea are within easy reach. The surroundings offer a lot for sport freaks and wellness lovers: tennis (4 km), golf course (15km), horse riding (5km), thermal resorts (15km) and fitness centres (7km).

I was born in New Brunswick and after I finished grade three, my mom and I moved to Ontario. I grew up in the small town of Haliburton, Ontario, Canada. I was raised by my mom who was a single parent before it was the norm. My mom worked for many years in a veneer plant where the work was hard, dirty and not fit for a woman but she taught me that hard work was what you did in order to survive.
I quit high school half way through my final year. All that stands between me and my diploma is an arts credit – funny, I never considered myself creative way back then.
After I quit high school, driven by sheer determination to support myself, I became a self-taught sales guru. I worked my way up the Corporate ladder from retail sales associate to a senior leadership role with TELUS where I supported a retail team, coast to coast here in Canada, and was responsible for about 100M in sales. (For any TELUS Corporate Stores people reading this, I owe everything to that job, it taught me more than I can describe and the people I worked with were incredible)
In 2006 the glass ceiling was apparent, and my entrepreneurial spirit was itching to take over. I decided it was time to put my knowledge and experience to work for myself and with the support of my husband I opened Parlez Wireless and soon after when I realized I had much more to offer, I expanded my business to include Lisa Larter Consulting.
In short – I help entrepreneurs, authors, small businesses and corporations build relationships with their customers through social media so they can drive traffic and increase sales. Often, I am the strategist who helps them figure it all out.
I guess you could say I am a serial entrepreneur with hard-hitting impact. I am known for my no-nonsense approach to helping business owners and executives drive results through solid strategic planning, social media, and customer experiences.
I coach clients to maximize sales and grow their business using social media, relationships, systems and technology. By utilizing best practices, my clients master how to immediately implement a plan to maximize their brand, increase sales and exponentially grow the platform from which their business operates.
I have worked with many exciting entrepreneurs all over the world. I've worked wtih best selling authors such as Deepak Chopra, Arielle Ford and Peggy McColl and organizations such as eWomenNetwork, Flowers Canada Retail, 20 Vic Management, Hasmark Services and TELUS. My success lies in the ability to break complex ideas into simple steps that are easily executed for success.
In addition to working with great organizations I have had the privilege to speak on stages at conferences with people I used to dream of meeting. Some of the people I have had the pleasure to do this with are: Lisa Nichols, Harvey Mackay, Brendon Burchard, Lisa Sasevich, Christine Kane, Mike Koenigs, John Gray, Fabienne Fredrickson, Janet Bray Attwood, Marcia Wieder, Ken Kragen, Lisa Cherney and of course, Kym and Sandra Yancey with eWomenNetwork. A highlight of my career was meeting Oprah after hosting the Live Your Best Day Conference in Ottawa Canada.
If you have any questions about working with me please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or follow me on Twitter and we can chat there!

(July 1996)
The 1995 Writers Guild Minimum Basic Agreement ("MBA") expands and strengthens the ways writers and agents may use the information in the writer's contract to best advantage. The employment contract must state specifically where the writer is to deliver literary material and who may request additional writing services. Adherence will reduce requests for uncompensated rewriting and improve the timeliness of payments. All parties should verify that this information is clearly stated in all contracts.
Each writer's contract or deal memorandum (for both television and theatrical employment) now must state the place where and the person(s) to whom delivery of the literary material must be made.
Monies for literary material are due within 48 hours (but not later than seven days) after delivery to the person and place stated in the writer's contract. The writer therefore must know where to deliver in order to be paid in a timely manner and to comply with the writing contract.
Writers should not be asked to deliver material to any place or to any person(s) other than as provided in the writer's contract. While producers (or directors) may seek to have the writer deliver material to the producer (or elsewhere) prior to delivery to the studio, it is improper to request this, and it is similarly improper for the writer to agree. This gives the producer (or director) an opportunity to request uncompensated writing services before the draft is submitted to the person(s) listed in the contract. If that person has not been named in the contract or the deal memo to receive the material (or named as a person who may request additional writing services), that person likely may not authorize the payment due upon delivery.
The contract must also state the name(s) of the person(s) authorized to request rewrites of the writer's material. If the producer (or director) is not named in the writer's contract, s/he may not request the writer perform additional writing services. Again, if the person making the request is not named in the contract, it is likely that person also may not authorize payment for rewrites.
The employing Companies and writers both benefit by restricting the number of persons who may give notes and request additional services, both for creative and economic reasons. While the contract may provide that more than one person may authorize additional revisions of the literary material, no one other than those listed in the contract should request any writing services unless authorization and payment have been assured.
Confirm that all writing services requested are authorized, and that payment will be received for them.
The Company must give written notice to the writer of any changes in the place where and the names of the person(s) to whom delivery is to be made and/or the name(s) of the person(s) authorized to request rewrites.
Please review each contract to ensure the appropriate information is provided. Know where literary material must be delivered and know who may request additional services. Compliance will reduce improper requests to all writers and promote timely payment.

28 Responses to ""UFC on FOX 3: Diaz vs. Miller" Live Results | UFC NEWS"
Paul Harris!!!
Nate Diaz!!!
Yeah, Dennis won!
Damn it! Tony lost!
daaaaam pat barry overwhelmed
this is actually a really good card,,,the only reason we arint paying for it is cuz dana dont wanna go up against mayweather and look bad for ppv buys….thxxx gayweather
amazing performance by belcher
told you Rousimar Palhares was madly overrated
cant deny he's a beast tho
he is ppv filler at best
i couldnt care any less..
good job belcher i glad…i dont like leg lock guys thats is career ending,,,and the guy he just beat tryd to hurt people
so fighters arent supposed to try to hurt their opponents? Its a fight.. what are they supposed to do?
They're supposed to let go when the ref tells them to after the guy taps out, not tear his opponents knee apart by holding on for an extra 10-15 seconds to try and make an impressive highlight reel.
Damn my boy Pat got crushed I feel bad for him. Looks like this Lavar guy is really legit for the UFC HW class
Yeah I was screaming at my television for Pat to get out there. He's too small to be standing a trading along the cage. Damn it! I've never seen him just stand there. I hope he moves down to 205 my boy Pat is too short for hw.
I was screaming at my TV too, except when the fight first went to the ground. Barry had full mount and moved into side control. I jumped off the couch and started screaming, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???"
Lol I did too for a second and then I was jumping for joy! I was hoping that Kimura would have worked out for him. He has come a long way in such a short tim with his ground game. He was taking a page out of a wrestlers book when they're rocked and that's take it to the ground. Now, why didn't he go for GnP instead?
Pat Barry may have lost but he showed a ton of heart and his chin looked as good as big countrys. Lavar is a monster but i have a feeling his next opponent will train to only get the fight to ground. Lavar has alot of work to do on ground before he will get in the top 10
You think he's getting cut? He's 1-3 in his last 4 fights in the UFC.
pettis vs diaz for next crack at the belt.
didnt Dana say Diaz gets the next title shot? but then again, Dana likes to change his mind. lol
Dana changes his mind more than he changes his underwear so by next week he prob will forget he even said Nate would get next shot. You guys have for learned a long time ago to take any things Dana says with a grain of salt. He might get mad at Nick tomorrow and take it out on rest of caeser Gracie team for all we know. Dana runs UFC by seat of his ass. Nate might quote someone off a T. V show tomorrow and get fired so we will beleive nate gets a title shot when he actually walks into the cage against the champ. Another more plausable thing that may happen is we all know NOONE wins more "GIFTS" for decsions than Frankie Edgar and Nate has already said he would not fight Frankie because he is a "Gracie fighter" so for now not only do we have to wait tell August for Bendo vs Frankie rematch and as you may remember Frankie got hurt in between one of the Maynard fights and we all had to wait a year for Frankie to recover so as I said the possibilities are endless on wrenches taht can be thrown into us actually seeing Nate get his "Promised" title shot. not to mention Diaz bros are the opposite of the "GSPs" because unlike GSP they like to fight 4-5 times a year not once every 2 years so Nate prob is going to have a hard time sitting around for another 6 months to a year if history is any indicator of frankie Edgars time frame on rematches. Sorry i have pissy enough attitude on rematches as it is then think of the log jam that Edgar has caused in last 3 year or more really gets me going. These guys all have short enough careers as it is and alot of these guys have even a shorter time of when they reach their PEAK-PRIME and we have to see guys like Jim Miller go on 8 fight winning streaks in toughest divsion in world but he is such a warrior he can't sit around like a Rahsad Evans for year or year and half. Plus alot of these guys make pennies on dollar comared to the GSP's Jones and need to fight to support families. MW disvsion guys liek, Bisping go on 2 fight win streaks against fighters whoa rn't even remotely close to top 10 and get offered title shots all the time.
gotta wonder what Chartmonster is gonna say about this. lolz! Diaz put it on Miller. whats the excuse this time Chartmonster?
So miller taps by g-tine so N Diaz gets a title shot. Atleast this N. Diaz actually makes it to his appointments and does the press. This card was pretty much all TUF allums
This was the best UFC on Fox yet.
Definitely imagine that that you said. Your favourite reason appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to take into accout of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as folks think about concerns that they just do not know about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the whole thing with no need side-effects , other people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Waste of Money
Light Weight
Does not last
Poor quality
Best Uses
I bought this trimmer approximately 18 months ago and have used it only a handful of times since then. It replaced a different brand of electric trimmer that I had used for years with no problems. At the beginning of this summer, I tried using the Black & Decker one and it would not start (it died almost exactly at the same time as a newer B&D fan that I had purchased...not a good sign).So often, reviews come in shortly after products are purchased. To me, the real test is how well the product lasts over time. In the case of this trimmer, it's another example of a [*]-made product (as was the fan) that flunks the durability test big-time.

Eats line like a starving animal
Edging ability
Best Uses
This machine eats an insane amount of line. I bought the preloaded spools to insert, because restringing the dual-string head can be a pain - particularly if you're in the middle of working on the yard. The last two spools broke in the middle, never had that happen before, but probably not to be unexpected since almost everything is plastic. The autofeed just keeps feeding line and cutting it off, at one point I watched little pieces of line just kept coming off the machine until the spool went empty - that autofeed feature is the single worst component of the trimmer. When edging you push the button and rotate the housing, but you can't see and control where the head is in relation to your sidewalk - and being a dual string head you end up messing up the straight line and taking gouges out of the turf. This should be a single line trimmer and do something about the feed system. I'm writing it off as a bad experience and buying a Stihl.

Sebastian Vettel is slowly, relentlessly, edging towards his fourth Formula 1 World Championship title and with his dominant (a word he hates) victory in the Singapore Grand Prix he now has a 60 points lead in the title race. On the day he claimed his seventh win of the season, his third in a row since Spa, his hat-trick at Marina Bay Circuit and his 41st career grand prix triumph. He spoke after the race.
It looked pretty easy from where we were sitting. How did it look from your … seat?
Sebastian Vettel: Obviously the start was quite hairy. Quite difficult with Nico having a good start, better than me. I didn't get going initially and then had to keep the inside clear to him but fortunately he went in a little bit too deep and I could get him back which was crucial because then we had some very good pace, controlled the first stint, with the Safety Car obviously it was difficult but then we seemed to come back. As soon as the Safety Car came in we had a very, very strong pace in the car. The car was incredible. I said to the team, you know this doesn't just happen like that, by accident or by luck. There's hard work behind, which I appreciate and it's just a pleasure to drive it around this crazy track.
You could just take off at will, whenever you wanted to. It seemed to be the only man who could beat you today had the slowest car on the track, the Safety Car. It was the only thing that was going to stop you.
SV: Yeah, well I mean this is a long race, it seemed to go on forever, so there's a lot of things that can go wrong, the walls sometimes get really, really close, sometimes closer than you think. So you can't really afford to lean back. Obviously towards the end I was controlling the gap. It was helping that I was on fresh Options compared to these guys who were on very old Primes at the time, so we could control the gap to see the chequered flag.
And physical? You're looking pretty sweaty up here. Was it a tough race?
SV: I think we're all sweating, not just the champagne men are wet, I think we all sweat a lot. As I said, it's hard work out there. It's quite hot but we like it. It's one of the toughest challenges all year and it's a very good feeling when you cross the line as a winner.
It's looking pretty good isn't it? But it's always this man (Alonso) who seems to be chasing you, up here on the podium with you.
SV: Yeah, it's incredible but to be honest with you I'm not really looking at the championship too much. Obviously we're in a very good position, very strong position but I'm enjoying the moment. Days like today, like yesterday when you can feel the tension. I'm enjoying the moment. I love racing and the car's fantastic and it doesn't happen, as I said, by accident. Whilst there's a lot of people hanging their balls in the pool very early on Fridays, we're still here working very hard and pushing very hard so that we have a strong race. Days like this it's just a pleasure to be in the car. The guys are completely committed, fully behind us, so it's great.
As always, Singapore, a Safety Car features somewhere, it cut your lead early on, it obviously presented an opportunity in terms of strategy for others around you – but you used the word 'control' in your message to the team on the slow-down lap and I guess that's really what today was really all about. An incredible demonstration – the whole weekend – of control.
SV: Yeah, well, I mean it doesn't happen just like that. It was surely not easy to get everything right all weekend. Extremely happy though. I think the whole team can be extremely proud. I know how much work is going in. Here obviously we have a funny rhythm. When it's nine o'clock the curfew kicks in. That's when our mechanics leave the track on Saturday morning. They are flat out checking everything on the car they can. Same with the engineers, late hours in the office here but also in the factory. So there's a lot of team effort going in. If we have results like today where we have the luxury to control the race at some stage, then it's because of those late hours, because of the commitment that goes in from everybody. It's just a privilege to be part of the team and be part of that. To enjoy the moment completely. It's one of my favourite races here. I've won here three times in a row – which is incredible – so I'm just extremely happy with that and extremely happy to be with the team at this stage.
Obviously the decisive moment of the race was the start. Rosberg initially got ahead of you but then you managed to come back around the back of him and get him into Turn Three. Can you give us that from your point of view in a little detail?
SV: The lights went off, I thought I reacted pretty well but [the car] was a bit lazy to get off the line. I thought that Nico might still be there. He was, and we were side-by-side, kind of, so I had to give him room. But fortunately he was braking quite deep into Turn One and I was able to come back on the inside to get the position. Fortunately the next corner was a left-hander so I got in front and from there we had a very, very strong pace. Safety car didn't help but also I think didn't hurt us. In the very end obviously we had a new set of Supersofts, compared to those guys, they were obviously on very old Primes so by then we could control the race. Don't forget there is 1.5s difference between the tyres.
Kimi, when you put those tyres on, did you know you were going to try to go on the finish on them – and what in your mind did you think was possible at stage?
Very sadly the boos returned this year. This was perhaps expected at Monza because it was Ferrari's home race and the fans are very passionate, but this is like the tourist grand prix, people are from all over the world, it's no home grand prix.
SV: It's called travelling, they are on a tour, they come to every race. Fortunately we keep winning so they've got a reason to boo.
Sadly perhaps they are going to stay on tour. Is this something that is very sad for you, are you concerned, is it mentally exhausting even?
SV: It's not nice but I think you should look around the grandstands. Most of the fans are dressed in red, Ferrari has a very strong fan base for a reason: they have a lot of tradition in Formula 1, they've been around longer and won, and they've been more successful than any other team. There's more and more blue people – more and more people dressed in blue so we are doing a good job on that front but obviously they are quite emotional when they are not winning and if somebody else is winning, they don't really like it and as it seems, as I said, they are on a tour and they come back to…they are wealthy enough to go to a lot of races, Monza or take the flight to come here to Singapore. As long as they keep booing, we are doing a very good job so that's the way I see it. It's not people from Singapore or from one country only. It's normal in sports if some people support one driver then they don't like another driver to win. Equally there were a lot of German flags around the track, there are a lot of Germans here in Singapore, it's a very international city. The parade lap was quite nice and also the lap after the chequered flag there were a lot of people cheering. Obviously I didn't give them the most exciting race but on days like this, I really don't mind.
You said before that the race in Singapore is probably the toughest in the calendar. Now that you have won here, would you say that the toughest part of this year's title race is now over?
SV: Well, the toughest race in terms of physical challenge, I think – at least, that's the way I feel. A couple of years ago, Fernando asked for the race to be a bit shorter. It's quite long, to be honest. Obviously it depends where you are in the race but I think from a physical point of view this is the most challenging, not because there are so many high speed corners but it's a long lap, there are a lot of corners, no room for mistakes, very bumpy, it's very humid, artificial lights – all this makes it a very tough combination. It's then even sweeter to be successful here.
Do you have an explanation as to why the failure often happens to the other car [Mark Webber], not the leading driver?
SV: Yeah, I don't think there's a reason. We both had issues with the gearbox – if Mark had a gearbox issue – in Monza. When we came here, I think we understood it to some extent but not entirely. I had more issues on Friday with the gearbox than Mark had. Maybe he was in traffic the whole race. It's quite hot, temperatures were maybe a bit higher but on the other hand his gearbox suffered already a little bit more in Monza because I think a radiator had an issue. So maybe it's a consequence of that but I don't think there's a reason for that, between cars. We both get the same stuff from the same shelf.
Late in the race, Rocky [race engineer Guillaume Rocquelin] radioed in that he thought there was a brake vibration on the car. Was this something you could feel, was it affecting you under braking?
SV: Yeah, definitely, I could definitely feel it. It was building up towards the end of the race. Fortunately we were in the lead and we had a new set of Supersofts which we saved yesterday, so I could afford to take it a bit easy. Surely, if we had been under a lot of pressure then…we've had those kind of issues before but it's not the most comfortable… you use the brakes quite a lot … around here. Then we could control it but had we raced harder until the end I think it would have been tough.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Lufkin outlasted Consol 71-68 in four overtimes Friday to start district 14-5A play with a victory.
Kendrick Mapp went 25-yards to win the game on the Panthers possession in the fourth overtime. Lufkin had held Consol to a field goal on the Tigers first drive of the OT.
Consol led 20-10 at the half thanks to two touchdown runs by Xavier Jones and a 15-yard Jaylan Cheshire to Derrick Dick touchdown pass.
Lufkin turned on the offense in the second half, as quarterback Tyler Stubblefield, younger brother of Texas A&M pitcher Gandy Stubblefield, carved up the Tiger secondary.
The Tigers needed a 5-yard Cheshire to Josh Stewart touchdown pass and a Dillon Moore extra point to tie the game at 45 with under a minute to go. Lufkin took a knee the game went to overtime.
Cheshire scored touchdowns on the ground in the first and second overtimes, but the Panthers scored as well to push the game to a third OT tied at 59.
Lufkin scored first in the third overtime on an outstanding effort by Jamal Jeffrey on a wide receiver screen, but Stubblefield was stuffed by the Tigers on the mandatory two-point try.
Consol tied it at 65 on a Jones run, but Cheshire's two point conversion pass to Stewart fell incomplete and the game went to the fourth overtime.
A&M Consolidated falls to 3-2 on the year, 0-1 in district play. They play at The Woodlands Thursday.
Lufkin improves to 3-2, 1-0 and will be off next Friday.

They wont be laughing if gas continues to go up. People vote with their wallets and the truth about the rise in gas prices will come out.
Look for $5.00 a gallon to collapse the economy.
Remember, Obama promised to have energy costs rise rapidly, I believe skyrocket was the term!
Yes he did. It may prove to be very detrimental to his presidency. I have been hearing projections of 7.00 a gallon again.
Now imagine if he tries to demonize the oil companies and they all move to Dubai like Halliburton did.

Have you seen the documentary GASLAND? I can't help but laugh to myself, when I read the alarm over higher gas prices.
Several years ago, I was a proponent of T.Boone Pickens. He was telling us that natural gas was 2/3rds cleaner than fuels from oil. He neglected to reveal the environmental damages, that would result from Hydraulic Fracking, for natural gas.
Do any of you have any idea, what George Bush, And Dick Cheney, have done to the air and water in our country?
Do you have any knowledge, at all, of the complete destruction of this country, our water, our water shed system, our air, vuirtually across the entire country, which is taking place from coast to coast, due to Bush and Cheney's Halliburton Loop Hole, and Bush's exempting the oil and natural gas industry, from any oversight from the EPA?
Millions of people, yes millions, across this country, are suffering from brain damage, numerous kinds of cancer, respiratory illnesses, digestive cancers, all of it, as dead animals are showing up everywhere, around them, animals which have died, from the poisonous residue in the air and water, left in the proximity of Hydraulic Fracturing, known as Fracking.
When I write that a vote for Republicans, is a vote for cancer, it is no joke.
Much of the cancer causing carcinogenics, are flowing right on down to you southern boys, acroos Ohio, Idaho, you name it, and one of the most frequent cancers, BTW, top on the list, is Testicular Cancer.....
Think about it, when you next go into the booth, to vote.
Torture, would be too kind a death, for George Bush, and Dick Cheney, as far as I'm concerned.
They destroyed even areas in our National Parks, opening them up to natural gas, and oil. Chopping off mountain tops, across this country, and Fracking their way from cost to coast.
All of the carcenogenics flowing into all of our lives, and our children's and grandchildren's, lives, and generations beyond them, believe me, they are going to inherit far worse, than debts.
If TR were alive, He would have a bounty on their all of the energy CEO's, and Bush Regime's heads. Yes, I call them pigs, for good reason. That's what they are.
The corruption which has trashed our environment, killed countless people across this country, with brain damage, cancer, loss of their sense of taste, crippling headaches, children born, with mental and physical deformities, learning disabilities, the rate of children's respiratory illnesses, such as asthma, incresing at alarming rates, all since the Bush Regime handed the gas and oil industry a free ticket to destroy the water shed, and the air above it.
The cancer causing chemicals, which rise up into the air, across this country, where they drill, and then store the polluted water in contaminated man-made ditches and lakes, the Fracking water, is seeping highloly toxic, chemicals, up into our air, as much, nd in some areas, more than double the amount of cancer causing chemicals from the vehicles, which pollute the environment.
There is far more devastation going on than just people's faucet water, lighting fire, than most people in this country, realize.
The day is coming, when those who took the bait, from the Grand Oil Party, will finally have to take responsibility for buying into the buzz words used to demonize those "Treehuggers" who have for decades, tried to warn everyone, of what we would all reap, due to the Grand Oil Party.
Note, Cheney lives on the other side, the eastern side, of the Chesapeake Bay......where the land on the Eastern shore of Maryland is far safer from the toxic water shed results of Fracking, which currently flows from up-state NY, straight through five surrounding states and into the Delaware River, and one quick peek at the water shed maps, will show you that regardless of where you live in our formerly beautiful, pre-neocon, pristine, America, you will drink and breathe the Halliburton, and other oil and gas corporation's, filth, eat the animals contaminated by the Halliburton, etc., filth, and see your own family, and your neighbor's family's, suffer.
You will see your children, and grand chidren, face a toxic contaminated world, where people and animals, have been crippled with diseases, and deformities. You will find that many endangered animals of our Plains, vanish, from our now dangerously, toxic environmennt, and I now think it will be far worse, than we Tree Huggers, as the right likes to call us, have been warning you, all along.
Please don't bother responding, unless you have taken the time to watch the documentary, GASLAND. It is currently available on HBO, I suppose that makes HBO, a "Liberal: Cable station????
If you do take the time to watch GASLAND, you will see it all for yourselves. It may enlighten you about your Grand Oil Party, and impact your worries, or lack of worry, about higher oil prices, Global Warming, the need for clean renewable fuels, and why we are hoping to find water, on the damn MOON!
OH good grief. More blather about republican evils.

- Dinner Menu for the Orient Line Ship RMS Otranto for the 28 June 1954. The menu is titled The Ampulla. It was used by Geoffrey and Hazel Tirchett when they migrated to Australia on the Otranto as `10 Pound Tourists'. Geoffrey already had three brothers in Australia, and upon arrival the couple lived with one of Geoffrey's brothers in Brunswick, until they bought their own home in Pascoe Vale. They fondly remember the journey, especially the food which seemed plentiful after rationing in England.

Police say man had more than 200 pills in car, coat pocket
MOUNT VERNON, Ind. - An Evansville man was arrested in this weekend after a traffic stop in Posey County, Ind.
According to Indiana State Police, troopers stopped James O'Toole, 38, for an unsafe lane movement on Indiana 62 near State Street in Mount Vernon on Sunday just before 1:30 a.m. While conducting the stop, one of the troopers noticed a plastic bag containing what to appeared to be pills in O'Toole's coat pocket, according to a news release.
There was also a hypodermic needle lying on the driver's seat, according to troopers. During a search of the 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser O'Toole was driving, authorities reported finding a large pill bottle that contained more pills. In total, troopers seized about 230 Oxycodone pills from O'Toole, according to the release.
Authorities also found a spoon in O'Toole's pants pocket that reportedly had methamphetamine residue on it. O'Toole faces three drug-related preliminary charges: Possession of methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a hypodermic needle. All three are felonies.

Is this healthy?????
Kat Asked: Is this healthy?????
Lol okay so far today I drank a homemade smoothie consisting of bananas strawberries and milk. half a sandwich with half a bologna lettuce and tomatos. And 2 carrot sticks. I'm on a diet and do you guys think what I'm eatin is healthy enough. I'll probably end my day with a salad. Is it too little. I don't want to starve myself because I'm completely against that. I also asked yesterday about my diet too. Please give me some tips if you can . Best answer
It is healthy, but not enough. You should eat around 1200 calories a day. Also, to be healthy, you also have to exercise.
Depends what type of diet it is. Sounds like the regular slimming diet but either wayyou will still need some protein in there. It just depends on what you want. If you want to be healthy then your on the right track just need more balance

4.0 out of 5 stars A novel to lose yourself in,
M.B. (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mrs Dalloway (Wordsworth Classics) (Paperback)
The name Virginia Woolf likely conjures the image of an important cultural figure, a significant writer, but one with an intimidating reputation. As such, readers may either stay away from her work or approach cautiously, expecting something wilfully obscure and deliberately difficult.
The truth is that, yes, Woolf's writing can be a challenge and the reason for that is mostly because it's so unique. We're used to plot- or character-driven novels, where things happen in some semblance of order, where there's narrative resolution, and often where you can dip in and out with ease. The stream-of-consciousness style that Woolf employs in "Mrs. Dalloway" (1925) shirks conventions and as a result it can be a disorientating read.
But that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. The thing to remember with "Mrs. Dalloway" is that it is not a plot-driven novel. As other reviewers have accurately stated, this is not a page-turner, not something to marvel at all the ingenious plot twists and turns. So why read it? The main thing I took away from "Mrs. Dalloway" was how much about the interior it is, and consequently how personal and intimate it feels. It's not "Mrs. Dalloway went up the stairs and sat down." It's all about inner thoughts, inner feelings, and as such this stream-of-consciousness style works wonders. We don't think in ordered sentences most of the time; our thoughts flit from one thing to another and we set off trains of thought and memory and memory association. The same is true of the writing in "Mrs. Dalloway"; there will sometimes be unexpected interjections and abrupt changes of thought process, which mimics our real human thought process.
Of course, action does take place - there are walks in the park, collecting flowers, sewing - but it's all filtered through the interior. It can be confusing to determine who is "speaking," as Woolf jumps between characters and they rarely have clearly-defined voices of their own, but that way it does feel more natural somehow. One moment we could be "in" Mrs. Dalloway, then she thinks of Peter Walsh, and suddenly we're "in" Peter Walsh, so to speak. It's a unique approach; much has been made of the revolutionary style. Whether it's relevant as 'revolutionary' today is immaterial - it simply works, regardless of whether Woolf originated it or not, and regardless of when it was written.
The other main element to note is Woolf's writing style itself. Her use of language is rich and beautiful, and she articulates feelings in a vivid, imaginative way that the reader can fully comprehend and relate to but still marvel at the imagery she is using. There will be occasional metaphors or sentences that stop you in your tracks for a while because they're so well-drawn and creative, yet entirely in keeping with the mood and feel of the novel. (It also must be said that Woolf does have a sense of humour, and some of her observations and interjections here are softly funny and sometimes wonderfully absurd.)
It's a book really to lose yourself in. By that, I mean: don't come into it with expectations, and certainly don't come into it looking forward to something exciting and plot-based. The power is in the writing style, the intimacy, and the accurate portrayal and evocation of human thought process. One can read into the symbolism and exploration of WWI, mental illness, sexuality, and human disappointment, and they're intrinsic, but even if you don't consider the symbolism or the cultural context it's still a novel that weaves a spell, slowly but powerfully.
Sometimes, it's a taste thing: some people will 'get' the book and enjoy it, and some won't, and one person is no better for 'getting' it and vice versa. But what I would say is that if you just allow yourself to get into the novel, and allow the novel room to breathe, and don't compare it to other, more conventional texts, it might just surprise you. I was surprised sometimes how much I was enjoying it. Woolf certainly requires more concentration and effort on the part of the reader than some other authors, but the ultimate rewards can be very satisfying.

4.0 out of 5 stars A touching, haunting example of literary genius.,
My favourite of Woolfs novels and also, I think, the most acessable to readers new to her work. It is the least complicated example of her style and the one where her stream of conciousness achieves its best synergy with characters and plot. Two central plotlines interweave, Mrs. Dalloway fighting submerged demons below a perfect veneer, while elsewhere in London Septimus Smith is overwhelmed by his. His character as a metaphor for the struggles in her mind works very well. Woolfs prose is on wonderful form here; with a clarity and beauty rarely matched it touches the heart, while opening a Bloomsbury cavern filled with class divide and false appearance. It is a very human, humane novel with a private, fragile quality that echoes it's themes - the mind, the life and marrying the two without harm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece,
Guv (UK) - See all my reviews
Virginia Woolf was influenced by Joyce's "stream of consciousness" as seen in such works as A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses, but is somewhat more accessible than the latter and more complete than the former. Clarissa Dalloway is a wistful, reflective character, who spends the majority of the novel reminiscing about her youth and planning a forthcoming party. A few miles away, and unknown to Clarissa, lives Septimus Warren Smith, a former soldier of the Great War attempting to cope with the debilitating effects of shell shock. Woolf's masterful depiction of Warren Smith and his wife, Lucrezia, were, for me, the most rewarding aspects of the novel, containing pathos, desperation and even hope. But as everything here is of such a high standard that is not to say that there is nothing else of interest, because Mrs Dalloway herself is a fascinating individual in her own right, and other characters have charm and warmth also. It is, however, the plight of Septimus which elevates the novel, making it much more than a high quality musing on the internal struggles of the middle aged middle classes. Mrs Dalloway is both a wonderful read and an important milestone in modernist writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unmasking society and experimenting with past and present,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mrs Dalloway (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
Virginia Woolf's fourth novel (1925) can be regarded as her first real approach to maturity, since she experiments with time and mingles present experience and past memories in an artistic way. Apart from the formal innovations, Woolf does not avoid the thematic challenge either: "I want to give life & death, sanity & insanity; I want to criticise the social system, & to show it at work, at its most intense", she notes in her diary.
Mrs. Dalloway is set on a single day in the middle of June in 1923, and we follow Clarissa Dalloway, the elegant wife of a Member of Parliament and perfect London hostess, through the course of this day which is going to culminate in the party she is going to give in the evening.
But there is much more to the novel than the superficial level of social activities: interwoven with the public world of post-war Britain is the female protagonist's inner life and her ambivalence about her other self - she wishes both to escape the social life and to enter it more fully; she feels both sheltered and anonymous, useful and trivial, committed and deluded.
Clarissa is looking for meaning in her life, primarily in her past, and we learn, among many other things, that she has chosen the safety of marriage to the rather ponderous Richard as opposed to the unpredictability of a life with Peter Walsh or the scandal of a relationship with a woman in order to preserve her own private self.
Virginia Woolf is interested in human personality and convicted of the right of the individual to possess and to cultivate their identity. Clarissa is thrown into a field of polar tensions in which on the one hand she strives for individuality and tries to distance herself from her environment; but in which on the other hand she also feels that she has to step out of her seclusion in order to take part in society.
And she proves herself capable of asserting herself in the life of society with courage and instinct. She is permanently ready to serve, to help and to support, seeing her role in society in terms of a personal task: through her parties she attempts to save people from their solitude, to establish relationships between them and make them feel the beauties of life.
Virginia Woolf has a gift to see behind people's social masks and to reveal in a very beautiful way how people live, how they love and hate, fear and long, and cope with the pleasures as well as the difficulties of everyday existence.

4.0 out of 5 stars A myriad impressions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mrs. Dalloway (Paperback)
If you are looking for a novel packed with exciting events, a story that will keep you thinking 'What'll happen next?' then this is not the book for you. "Mrs Dalloway" does not have an exhilarating plot. It is not an eventful story. Neither is it peopled with unusual characters. It is, perhaps, a medium through which you might experience a 'moment of being', the sudden revelation central to Virginia Woolf's writing at its finest.
'Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day', suggests Virginia Woolf in "The Common Reader", 'The mind receives a myriad impressions....is it not the task of the novelist to convey this?' In "Mrs Dalloway" the cause-and-effect narrative of the realist tradition is abandoned. The 'scaffolding' of the realist plot is taken down; there is 'scarcely a brick to be seen' in this critique of social convention. Instead, Woolf's reader follows an apparently random chain of external happening and thought-processes that comprise a single day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway.
Consider the two-page section in which Mrs Dalloway has left her long-anticipated party in search of privacy. Woolf's use of free indirect interior monologue grants the reader access to the protagonist's mind as the principal chain-of-events is halted, the narrative infused with a sort of psychoanalytical free-association, as memories of Boughton and the past merge into London and the present: 'It held...something of her own in it...this sky above Westminster'. Woolf's prose concentrates on minor events and descriptive details that are insignificant in the context of linear progression, unable to be twisted into the 'realist' tradition of a causal plot. Look at how Mrs Dalloway's thought-process is snapped by a sudden interjection ('Oh, but how surprising!') as the old lady in the house opposite glances across. The emotional flux of Woolf's narrative refocuses Mrs Dalloway's outlook as the old lady's quiet independence is contrasted with the pseudo-vitality of the party. Moreover, the motif of the striking clock is placed in immediate juxtaposition, representing not only the passing of the years for Mrs Dalloway but contributing to the unity of the novel. The sound of the clock striking evokes an earlier narrative event as Mrs Dalloway recalls the suicide of Septimus and strives to connect her own experience with that of others: 'The young man had killed himself; but she did not pity him; with the clock striking the hour, one, two three, she did not pity him with all this going on'.
Woolf, like many of her contemporaries, employs self-conscious literary allusion as a means of unifying a text. For the schizophrenic Septimus, incessant mental echoes of a refrain from Shakespeare's "Cymbeline" ('Fear no more the heat of the sun') had indicated a terror of life and the ultimate social defiance of his death. The same refrain drifts across Mrs Dalloway's mind as, having defied the social whirl of the party, she recognizes in this 'moment of being' her parallel with the insane youth she never met: 'But what an extraordinary night! She felt glad that he had done it'. However, Mrs Dalloway's sense of exaltation is paralleled by recognition of her essential difference to the schizophrenic, her capacity for life, her ability to transcend social convention, and to survive 'the heat of the sun'. 'The clock was striking': the image recalls the power of chronology that continues to dominate the tradition of the realist novel. Nevertheless, the dissolution of its 'leaden circles' emphasizes Woolf' s concern with time as much more than a linear structure, as an inter-weaving of past and present containing a multiplicity of potential futures. Whereas Septimus's mind fell apart, Mrs Dalloway 'must assemble' and become 'Clarissa', become herself, a point of being.
This is a beautiful novel, scripted out of what its author called 'incantation and mystery', in which a social message is communicated via rhythmic repetition, metaphor, 'moments of being'.
Readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Virginia Woolf, her novels, and wider literary world would do well to invest in Hermione Lee's superb critical biography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense, addictive and very perceptive,
By A Customer
A book totally without airs and graces; unusual for literature stemming from early last century. Presumptions that the book is ragingly feminist are thrown out the window as soon as you begin to read. It is, however, very much a woman's world, and the psyche of many a female charcter is delved into - though the thoughts and emotions of males are also successfully explored and expressed.
A thoroughly modernist book, superbly written. Woolf engages the reader by investigating the power of an integral modernist device: the inner voice. Also, by dint of following a day in the life of various people who are simply trying to survive in the throbbing heart of the capital, the book is fast-paced and leaves the reader with the sensation that he/she is in London too. The characters are subtly and cleverly linked to one another, and the chief protagonist is intensely likeable - despite AND because of her flaws.
This book is brief, exciting, exhilirating and leaves one's head in the clouds for days afterwards. It is excellently structured and uses modernist literary methods cleverly and quietly. Very refreshing.

Elpis Hemingway (North Face of Eiger) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mrs Dalloway (Wordsworth Classics) (Paperback)
I loved this book, but have limited it to 4 stars because my appreciation may be partly that it begins with Clarissa Dalloway stepping across Victoria Street and walking to St James's park, which I do regularly and got me excited from the outset. However, I don't think it is that alone that made her seem so real. I do not particularly like the main character, but Woolf's writing makes you want to work her out; why she behaves as she does and made the past decisions she did. The stream of consciousness style in some sections does hurt your head a little, but she is using it to describe madness and doing so very effectively, and never goes on for so long that you simply want to give up (*cough*JamesJoyce*cough*). I have almost never felt such a sense of satisfaction at the final line of a book.

Tim "Tim" (Hackney, London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mrs Dalloway (Vintage Classics) (Paperback)
Virginia Woolf is growing on me at an alarming rate.
This novel uses the most beautiful of poetic language to describe the emotional landscape of it's main protaganist through the prism of a single day.
The perspective on life, the impact of decisions made in early adulthood, the development of characters over many years - all of these things(and many others) will make me read and re-read this book with great pleasure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unsure...,
Having finished `Mrs Dalloway', I was left unsure whether I actually enjoyed the book. I can clearly see why it has received so much praise as Woolf's excellent use of language truly envelopes you in the psyche of Clarissa Dalloway and the thought processes of her other dramatic devices, particularly the visionary Septimus. However I was, as I am sure Woolf intended, irritated by many of Clarissa's flaws and despite some of her redeeming characteristics, I found part way through the book that I no longer wanted to continue following her train of thought. Luckily there was also plenty of substance to be found in the other characters that made me want to continue reading and by the end I felt I had a thorough understanding of each of every one of them. I would, on consideration, recommend this book but I do not see myself returning to it in a hurry. It certainly stayed with me for days after completing it but purely because I just couldn't decide how I felt about it. Try it and see for yourself...

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Modernist Writing,
F. Hendry (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mrs Dalloway (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
Mrs Dalloway is critically regarded as one of the quintessential exemplars of both stream-of-consciousness writing and the ethos of the Modernist era. Stylistically stunning, the innovative narrative follows a day in the life of protagonist Clarissa Dalloway, an aristocratic socialite struggling to find meaning and contentment in post-war London. Juxtaposed with her, Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked combatant attempting to readjust to life after war, struggling with the difficulties of a fractured mind and a creeping madness which threatens to destroy him.
The narrative voice flits effortlessly between the many characters, blending their thoughts, memories and perceptions in order to provide an insight into the psychological processes of a disillusioned generation attempting to restore normality after fundamental assumptions about reality and human nature have been shattered by conflict.
This is a beautifully crafted novel, a deceptively quick and easy read despite the rich narrative structure and content, and a must-read for all those interested in Modernist literature.
Everyone will enjoy this book: for its characters, its story and its vivid descriptions of post-war London. Moreover, for Modernist scholars it provides an exquisite example of the narrative innovation which characterises early 20th century writing.

the K-power model (K ≥ 1). That approach estimates a BMDL of 58 ppb of Hg in cord blood (corresponding to a BMDL of 12 ppm of Hg in hair) as a reasonable point of departure for deriving the RfD. To calculate the RfD, the BMDL should be divided by uncertainty factors that take into consideration biological variability when estimating dose and MeHg data-base insufficiencies. As stated earlier, given those considerations, an uncertainty factor of at least 10 is supported by the committee.
The committee further concludes that the case of MeHg presents a strong illustration of the need for harmonization of efforts to establish a common scientific basis for exposure guidance and to reduce current differences among agencies, recognizing that risk-management efforts reflect the differing mandates and responsibilities of the agencies.

His initial reaction to the Smithfield Foods' takeover seems to fall on both sides. In a conference call Tuesday Grassley reiterated the negative aspects of vertical integration on individual producers, but agreed that the deal's potential to increase pork exports to China is good for agriculture.
Grassley has sent a letter to the Justice Department asking for a review of the merger, and whether it is anti-competitive and threatens U.S. security.
