The Magazine
A War to Be Proud Of
From the September 5 / September 12, 2005 issue: The case for overthrowing Saddam was unimpeachable. Why, then, is the administration tongue-tied?
Sep 5, 2005, Vol. 10, No. 47 • By CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS
The only speech by any statesman that can bear reprinting from that low, dishonest decade came from Tony Blair when he spoke in Chicago in 1999. Welcoming the defeat and overthrow of Milosevic after the Kosovo intervention, he warned against any self-satisfaction and drew attention to an inescapable confrontation that was coming with Saddam Hussein. So far from being an American "poodle," as his taunting and ignorant foes like to sneer, Blair had in fact leaned on Clinton over Kosovo and was insisting on the importance of Iraq while George Bush was still an isolationist governor of Texas.
Notwithstanding this prescience and principle on his part, one still cannot read the journals of the 2000/2001 millennium without the feeling that one is revisiting a hopelessly somnambulist relative in a neglected home. I am one of those who believe, uncynically, that Osama bin Laden did us all a service (and holy war a great disservice) by his mad decision to assault the American homeland four years ago. Had he not made this world-historical mistake, we would have been able to add a Talibanized and nuclear-armed Pakistan to our list of the threats we failed to recognize in time. (This threat still exists, but it is no longer so casually overlooked.)
The subsequent liberation of Pakistan's theocratic colony in Afghanistan, and the so-far decisive eviction and defeat of its bin Ladenist guests, was only a reprisal. It took care of the last attack. But what about the next one? For anyone with eyes to see, there was only one other state that combined the latent and the blatant definitions of both "rogue" and "failed." This state--Saddam's ruined and tortured and collapsing Iraq--had also met all the conditions under which a country may be deemed to have sacrificed its own legal sovereignty. To recapitulate: It had invaded its neighbors, committed genocide on its own soil, harbored and nurtured international thugs and killers, and flouted every provision of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The United Nations, in this crisis, faced with regular insult to its own resolutions and its own character, had managed to set up a system of sanctions-based mutual corruption. In May 2003, had things gone on as they had been going, Saddam Hussein would have been due to fill Iraq's slot as chair of the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. Meanwhile, every species of gangster from the hero of the Achille Lauro hijacking to Abu Musab al Zarqawi was finding hospitality under Saddam's crumbling roof.
One might have thought, therefore, that Bush and Blair's decision to put an end at last to this intolerable state of affairs would be hailed, not just as a belated vindication of long-ignored U.N. resolutions but as some corrective to the decade of shame and inaction that had just passed in Bosnia and Rwanda. But such is not the case. An apparent consensus exists, among millions of people in Europe and America, that the whole operation for the demilitarization of Iraq, and the salvage of its traumatized society, was at best a false pretense and at worst an unprovoked aggression. How can this possibly be?
THERE IS, first, the problem of humorless and pseudo-legalistic literalism. In Saki's short story The Lumber Room, the naughty but clever child Nicholas, who has actually placed a frog in his morning bread-and-milk, rejoices in his triumph over the adults who don't credit this excuse for not eating his healthful dish:
"You said there couldn't possibly be a frog in my bread-and-milk; there was a frog in my bread-and-milk," he repeated, with the insistence of a skilled tactician who does not intend to shift from favorable ground.

Meet your neighbors: Matijevic is fire chief and disc jockey
Traveling all over the United States has become second nature to Jeannette Fire Chief Joe Matijevic.
Matijevic is the proud father of son J.J., 17, and daughter Jenna, 15.
J.J. is an accomplished baseball player and he travels all over the United States with his father and sister while competing with his national traveling team.
The family, in the past few years, has traveled to California, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio, West Virginia and Delaware.
J.J. also plays for Norwin High School and this fall will be signing his letter of intent to attend Arizona University on a baseball scholarship.
J.J. will also compete in invitational tournaments this summer in Akron and Allentown, which will be scouted by the pros.
"We have sacrificed a lot for J.J. to do this," said Matijevic. "Jenna, his sister, has sacrificed, too, but she has made friends with the sisters of other players and is getting to visit a lot of colleges."
Jenna attends Norwin High School where she is a member of the National Junior Honor Society.
"She is very smart and gets real good grades. She is already getting stuff from colleges."
In the past, Jenna played various sports, but now she is concentrating on her studies.
In addition to being involved with his children, Matijevic has been a member of the Jeannette Fire Department since 1996.
He was promoted to captain in 2003 and then promoted to chief in 2011. Being a firefighter is a tradition in his family.
"My dad was a Grapeville Fireman and I credit him with getting me into this," said Matijevic. "He took us around; it (Grapeville Fire Hall) was our second home."
Although he enjoys his job as a firefighter, Matijevic has also realized another lifelong dream, to be a disc jockey. Recently, he formed a disc jcokey service called Roof on Fire Entertainment.
Matijevic's grandfather, Wayne Rogan was a DJ and Matijevic said, "He used to do doo-wop dances at Grapeville Fire Hall. That's probably where I got it from. I have a passion for music."
Roof on Fire Entertainment can be found alternating Fridays at either Franko's or Penn Rod and Gun Club. Matijevic also plays at the Washington Furnace Inn near Laughlintown, Grapeville Station and R-Pub in Harrison City.
He is also available for weddings, graduations and other parties or celebrations. Matijevic can be reached at 724-708-9127.
With traveling, working as fire chief and being a DJ, it would seem that Matijevic is busy enough, but he also works part-time for Jeannette Distributing.
He helps out in the store and sometimes makes deliveries.
To learn more about music, baseball or fire fighting, get to know neighbor Joe Matijevic.
Editor's note: Meet Your Neighbors is a recurring feature in The Jeannette Spirit. If you know of a neighbor with an interesting life story to tell, someone who deserves some recognition for volunteer work, a resident with a special talent or an avid collector who would like to be featured, call the Spirit at 724-838-5154 or send an email to email@example.com.

Golf Cart, Belize
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
Moncho's Rentals is where I rented my golf cart for $32.00US per day.
I stayed at Mata Rocks and walked the beach front most of my stay. If you have no injuries walking everywhere is easy and safe. From Mata to downtown was a 30 minute beach walk. Again I traveled alone and never felt unsafe. It is impossible to get lost since there are only three streets. I went to the clubs on two nights and took a taxi one night (too many Mojitos) the cost was $5.00US.
I always fly American as they usually have the cheapest prices.
Another possibility is flying into Cancun and then taking the bus the rest of the way down. Can save you mega bucks sometimes. Batty Brothers also has a bus service all the way from Los Angeles to Belize-wow can't imagine that trip.
Take the airplane from the airport to the island unless you don't mind getting wet and having a bumpy ride.
Seriously, if it is a beautiful day and you are an adventrous person take the water taxi. It is a good way to see the island. But you will get wet and it can be a bumpy hour.
If you are staying directly in town then your own 2 feet are the best mode of transposrtation. If you are staying south of town-get a golf cart or rent a bike.
Definitly rent a golf cart at least one day and ride it to the north side of the island-a completely different atmosphere.
the means of transport on the island are electrical cars like this but I felt like the tourist of a movie, the only place where I had seen these sort of cars till then, to rent one... anyway I got on one: the taxi I took from the airport when I hadn't realized yet ;-) you can easily reach any point on the island on foot...
What an amazing introduction to Caye Caulker. First getting off a small plane to a small airstrip area to hop on a GOLF CART taxi. Yup, the taxis on this island are stretch golf carts. There were not too many golf carts on the dirt roads, but they were practical for carrying around a lot of stuff. I did not see any street signs, nor traffic signs, except for the occasional "Go Slow" signs.
Getting around Caye Caulker is easy. The sand is white so you can walk bare foot, which is nice because it's so warm.
Rent a bike if you want to get around faster, or hire a golf cart if you can't walk.
I know of no one who's gone there except via commercial air.
At least once, try the boat ride from Belize city to Ambergris Caye.
Normally, use the island airline to Ambergris Caye
Rent a golf cart, it will be the best money you'll spend on the island.
We drove all over the caye in our little golf cart.
I don't think it was built to carry such a load.
It was fun but not much protection from the rain.
Most Transportation around town is by foot, bicycle, or golf cart. there are a few van style taxis roaming the streets and don't be surprised if a golf cart driver offers you a lift to town .

Information Provided by HappyCow's Vegetarian Guide (www.HappyCow.net):
4 green plantains
oil, enough to cover plantains
salt or garlic salt
1 green plantain toston relleno tostonera cup molder
Fill large bowl with 3 cups of warm water and 4 tablespoons of garlic salt.
Peel green plantains (serving size is approximately one per person). Cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks for chips or Cut into 2 inch chunks for cups. Place into garlic water to soak (30 minutes).
Heat oil for frying in a skillet or deep fryer (360-365 degrees). Remove plantains from garlic water and dry on a paper towel (to reduce chance of grease splatter). Place plantain pieces in hot oil for 6-7 minutes (or until color changes slightly). Then take them out and let cool for about 30 seconds.
Choose either the chip side or cup side of the Tostobueno® tostonera. Take the fried plantain and place it in the cup side lengthwise. Press down firmly to form the "tasita," or cup, and then remove carefully - remember the plantain will still be hot.
Quickly dip the plantain cup back in the cold water. This will make the plantain pieces crispy when refried.
Place the molded plantain back into the hot oil one more time for 3 minutes (until golden brown). Remove pieces from hot oil and place on a paper towel. Lightly salt with popcorn salt, which is finer and sticks to the plantain better, but any salt is fine or skip this step completely.
Arrange on a platter and fill the molded green plantain cup with ANYTHING.
Cleaning suggestion: Do not place in a dishwasher. Just wipe with a damp cloth and store. Not adhering to this suggestion may damage the new Tostobueno® product.

1996 Saturn SL1 • 150 miles
I bought a 1996 Saturn SL for my daughter for use at college. Everything was running fine until now. When hitting speeds above 40mph, the steering wheel has a little slight sudden pull to the left. She had a machanic look at it near the campus. She says he worked under the front end and told her that the screws were lose on one side and they tightened them up, they also said the other side was ok. The problem was resolved for a little while after this procedure but is now back. I have looked all over under the car to find what they might have "tighten" up. LOL. Nothing. Any Ideas?

January 12, 2013.
Loose bolts on any part of the suspension or steering will result in more than a little problem. The mechanic may indeed have found something loose, but there has to be more to it than that. A pull that changes is the result of a worn part. Ball joints and struts are the most common causes but worn lower control arm bushings have been common too, especially on GM vehicles. Have the car inspected at a tire and alignment shop by a mechanic who specializes in alignment problems. Alignment problems show up right now as pulls and possibly an off-center steering wheel. Over time it shows up as poor tire wear. Intermittent problems that change over time, as you described, can be due to loose bolts but 99 percent of the time it's due to worn parts that could be about to separate leading to loss of control and crashes. Ford owners have been WAY too aware of that since the mid '70s.
Clunks and rattles are another sign that something is worn or loose. Many Chrysler and GM owners tend to overlook those noises for a long time because they get accustomed to hearing them with no other symptoms. You never want to ignore a squeak or rattle on a Ford.

A Remedy for Wooden Legs and Dead Hands: The Early Years of the Winnipeg Foundation
Goldsborough, Gordon, Manitoba History
The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced
Andrew Carnegie, 1889 (1)
The Cleveland Connection
Scottish-American business magnate Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) may have set the tone for philanthropy in the early twentieth century when he advocated that it was the duty of wealthy people to donate for the benefit of society, especially in those communities where their money had been made. When, in 1901, Carnegie became the world's wealthiest man from the sale of his Carnegie Steel Corporation, he embarked on a worldwide campaign to donate his millions to worthwhile causes. Among the results was Winnipeg's first public library building that served the public on William Avenue until its replacement in 1994.
Winnipeg's Carnegie Library was not the first work undertaken in support of the city's social welfare. As early as 1872, civic-minded Winnipeggers organized a general hospital on the banks of the Red River, near the foot of present-day Lombard Street. (2) It led to the Winnipeg General Hospital in the vicinity of today's Health Sciences Centre. Other facilities that opened in those early days included a Women's Aid Society Hospital (1883), a Christian Women's Union (CWU) Maternity Hospital (1884), a CWU Children's Home (1885) and a Nursing School (1887). Benevolent associations included a Prisoners' Aid Association (1890), an Aberdeen Association (1892) to supply lonely settlers with reading material, a Free Kindergarten Association (1892), and a Winnipeg Lodging and Coffee House Association (1893) to provide low-cost accommodation for single men. In the 1890s, the Salvation Army established homeless shelters for women and men. The Women's Christian Temperance Union, always a considerable force for charitable work, founded the Door of Hope around 1897 to reform "the inebriate women we so frequently read of in the press reports of the police court and station." (3)
The Winnipeg Foundation, established in 1921, has the distinction of being the first community foundation in Canada but it was preceded as the world's first such entity by several American counterparts, including one in Cleveland, Ohio. Founded in January 1914, the Cleveland Foundation was the brainchild of banker and lawyer Frederick H. Goff who had concluded that greater good could be achieved by local philanthropists, living and dead, by pooling their cumulative resources. A novel concept at the time, the primary advantage of the community foundation was that:
"it provides a channel through which men and women of limited means, as well as those of large wealth, may directly and effectively combine their contributions to the welfare of the community, under a plan which gives flexibility of application together with efficiency, and at the same time enables those who give donations or bequests to the Trust to designate the type of charitable service to which their donations shall be devoted." (4)
Too often, good-intentioned philanthropic gifts could not achieve their desired ends due to restrictions placed on the funds by "dead hands," that is, by long-dead people who had decreed how their money could be used without making provision for changing circumstances. A Boston hospital, for instance, was prevented from using funds donated to give wooden legs to American Civil War veterans when the supply of deserving veterans inevitably declined. (5) In contrast, unencumbered donations to community foundations allowed fund administrators to apply them to the present, most pressing needs of the community.
William F. Alloway built his fortune first as a tobacco merchant, later as a freight agent and Metis scrip dealer, and finally as head of Alloway and Champion, the first private bank in western Canada. (6) By 1910, Alloway was among 19 Winnipeg millionaires. (7) Long-time Foundation employee Peter Lowe would later recount that Alloway became aware of the Cleveland Foundation and thought that it would be an appropriate vehicle for his own philanthropic intents. …

As the go-to designer for stars like Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora, London-based brand Ashish has garnered a certain reputation for all things sequined, snarky and slogan-embellished. As such, his Spring 2014 collection was inspired by a "glamorous walk of shame," featuring a range of backpacks, hoodies, witty graphic tees and those LED sneakers for which Perry has already professed love on Instagram. And now we've got your first look at Ashish's summer collaboration with Topshop—and it's a high-street collection that has Cara Delevingne's name all over it, especially because its lookbook features Delevingne's model BFF, Mary Charteris. The range's pièce de résistance? An oversized t-shirt emblazoned with the following slogan: "Hi my name is…My room number is…".
While the racy line won't hit stores until next Thursday, May 29, we got our hands on the campaign's preview video, exclusively for Lucky. Watch the luxuriously fun video below, and click through above to see all the lookbook shots above.

I have been writing since high school, mostly published in yearbooks and newspapers, but I adore fanfiction because it helps you extend the life of extinguished characers. My favorite fanfiction to read is Lord of the Rings, (Elijah...blue Eyes...adorbs..) Sleepy Hollow (Tom Mison is yummy), Sliders, Falling Skies, ER (anything to do with Carter), X-Files (before season 7) and Star Trek - TNG anything with Wesley Crusher.
I write hurt/comfort/angst and suspense fan fiction. I adore Muldertorture, Cartertorture, Tomtorture, Wesleytorture but I am not a fan of killing them. I enjoy the real person: Noah Wyle, he's a beautiful man. I am a VERY busy geek, (science geek/teacher/trainer/SMARTguru/but this is my hobby! Giving life to these series that have ended is a treat.

Direct Selling Tax Deductions Saves $
Direct selling tax deductions are one of the top advantages of working from home.
Operating a direct selling business from home opens the door for many income tax deductions.
Did you ever notice that all rich people have a business?
- Did the business make them rich?
- Or did they get a business because they were rich?
Chances are they developed a business so that they could take advantage of certain tax benefits and that in turn assisted them in gaining more wealth.
The home business is a legitimate income tax reduction program that the IRS/CRA/ATO (or whatever the tax agency is called where you live) has put into place.
Anyone who owns a business has a legal income tax reduction package to utilize to their advantage.
Direct Selling Tax Deductions = Recruiting Tool
The direct selling tax deductions are an AWESOME recruiting incentive!!
Leading with the direct sales tax deductions is discussed in great detail in the Direct Sales Recruiting University.
If you are an individual or family struggling financially, the quickest way to increase your cash flow without a major time commitment is to start a direct sales or network marketing business.
The income generated from your new business will of course be helpful and the immediate income tax reduction will increase your cash flow substantially!
Share with potential consultants how a direct sales marketing plan will save tax dollars!
Save With Direct Selling Tax Deductions
For example in a direct selling business many of the things you are now spending money on will become an income tax deduction.
- Cell phones: even shared family plans
- Magazine subscriptions or cable TV, depending on your company, can be considered as market research
- Mileage to and from general errands that you are doing for your family can be deductions provided you intersperse business errands and lead-collecting in with the daily activities. Imagine deducting 60-80% of all your miles traveled, at 57.5 cents a mile…. That will really add up quickly!
- Meals out and entertainment can also be deducted provided you talk business and ask for referrals from your friends.
- Are you taking vitamins? When you are in a vitamin network marketing company, the vitamins may be deductible.
- Do you buy groceries? In a food-related company, a good part of your grocery bill may be deductible for market research, even if your family is eating the food.
- Are you giving the kids an allowance? Are your kids ages 7-17? How would you like to pay them for errands around the house, or helpful things they do, then take those payments as an income tax reduction?
Are you starting to see why all people with money have a business?
These are things you will always spend money on. When you have a direct selling business they become income tax deductions. That alone will increase your cash flow, even if your business does not make money immediately.
NOTE: We are not giving you legal advice or advising you on your income tax. Please talk to a knowledgeable direct sales-specific accountant regarding your personal situation.
Income Tax Deduction – Home Office
Another income tax reduction strategy available to direct sales consultants is the home office deduction.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people do not take advantage of this strategy.
Many successful individuals say, "I do not want to send up a red flag." Or "My accountant won't let me because it is a red flag."
The government does not create laws just to "catch" people and get them in trouble when someone uses the law as it is written.
There are no flagpoles down at the tax office!
Think about this…
When you open a store at the mall or in a shopping center, you will buy toilet paper, floor cleaners, light bulbs, maybe put up a sign, and even wash the windows, take out the trash, pay rent or cut the grass.
As a business owner you can deduct all of those from your taxes. This will not put up a red flag because these are business expenses.
Everyone can understand that.
In your home business, you still have all those expenses affiliated with your business. Only now they are a percentage of your home expenses.
The home office deduction recognizes that as a home business owner, you can deduct a percentage of your electric, your gas, your garbage, your telephone, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc.
This is the home office deduction.
Recruiting With The Direct Selling Tax Deduction
The direct selling tax deduction should be a major focus in sharing your opportunity. Small sprinkles in your show to create desire about paying less taxes will go a long way toward creating desire for the opportunity.
Saving money sounds easier than starting a business!!
Share this article with your team and teach them how to recruit by leading with the tax savings!
A little education goes a long way when you are focusing on growing a team.
NOTE: We are not giving you legal advice or advising you on your income tax. Please talk to a knowledgeable direct sales-specific accountant regarding your personal situation.
Excellent website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article? I'd really love to be a part of group where I can get responses from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
Hi! We found your great site with AltaVista and it??s great!
I will definitely be adding this to my recruiting and events! Thank you once again!
I always sprinkle the tax benefits in my show. I saw the big tax benefit in 2013 and share it every party!
So worth the time it takes to be organized. I always remind people if they are thinking of starting a ds business this is a great benefit to starting one.
that time of year again! this article always comes in handy!
Most people don't start a biz for the deductions, but the deductions sure sweeten the pot when there is a list of some of the common ones, most of which pertain to us in general. And, for busy people (who isn't), it helps to see how easy it is to incorporate a biz into our lives- either part-time or full-time. Good article and reminder!
All very true info! I have enjoyed these deductions for years adding income to the family by saving on taxes!
A great reason to be in business and it really does help! This shares some great reasons to share with others when having those sponsoring conversations!
This being my first year in business I expect to have zero profit with deductions. It is nice to have the chance to write off so many things.
I paid a lot of extra money to taxes last year because I did not utilize all the tax advantages that I could have, I did not want the tax man knocking on my door! This year is going to be soooo different.
Yes, you need a good accountant to make sure that your deductions are appropriate!! I have talked to many reps about taking these deductions and they are always afraid to because of possibly causing them to be audited by the IRS! If you have a home business you need to take advantage of the deductions that are given to you!! Find an accountant that specializes in home businesses or, at least, knows what they are doing regarding home business deductions!!
Some great reminders here!
I'm planning on overhauling how I talk about our business opportunity, and definitely want to find a way to include tax benefits.
I'm so glad this was done. I always had questions about taxes & what you could write off what you couldn't write off so this was extremely helpful.
This is the end of my first year in business and I have to admit that I have been terrible about keeping receipts, records, and mileage. I'm actually afraid I am going to have to pay in this year even though I didn't make a huge sum of money. It's totally my fault. I will do so much better in 2015! Please learn from my mistake!

Wonderful world we live in. I do come with much to say to all of you. It is time to say good bye to the Bill and Hilary Clinton,with too much obstruction of Justice and they have to much power. It is time for a change of people within your administration. And if you want to be realected, read this entire piece. And I am removing my hat of humility, when I say I have a strong pull in the spaish community then you will ever know or ever have. So, you need me more than I need you. Lets get to work.
Here is a recent picture of myself. http://bryanthewitt.com/
Crouches have conspired to kill bryant hewitt http://twitwall.com/
Clintons have obstructed Justice, in the following manner. From not having and getting in the way of the Crouches being arrested,allowing the FBI to recruit people outside of the state that I live in and to link into my email accounts and do a read only and see my contacts. Clintons also are behind more than a few hardships as I am not able to get any help from any police district.
This is what has been investigated, and this is what is being said. Pertaining to threats Carried out to harm and kill bryant w hewitt, with the Crouches and the Samuelis coming accross as hired guns, as well as variety of FBI Agents to be named latter.
It is time to talk. There is a promblem in this area called Southern California, and
I am not kidding you when I say it is time to talk. The Law enforcement agents from the heads of the Sherrifs department to a variety of FBI Agents, need to say good bye. Samuelies with the Crouchs of Trinity Broadcasting own the Santa Ana Police.The chief of police that was in your office recieving an awared, has been replaced by the illuminaties. A cult that loves a blood sacrifice.As well as Tammy Franks, who when I called just last week, the officer saying she was Tammy Franks had no idea, who I was.

Great accomodation and facilities. The staff without fail were friendly and helpful in all areas. There was a very good selection of activities to choose from and for what it cost overall we felt it was value for money.

Wildlife show outside the window in Rainbow lodge was spectacular but the slippy decking on the Rainbow 3 lodge was a nightmare. We had hoped to book a larger
Lodge as it was also flat access which is excellent for older relatives to visit us but the slippy access makes it hazardous for them. It was great that we were able to bring our dog but sad that we couldn't get access to an executive lodge - aware that not all dogs are well behaved! We saw the executive lodge one of the wedding party had booked and they were fabulous. Regular site visits in the evening to check what external lights aren't working would be good as where we were staying was very dark as lots of the lights were out which made late night dog walking difficult. All in all a good place to visit and having lodges without stairs is great as most other sites don't offer this. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely loved it! Will definitely be back soon! :)
Odd place..no toiletries other than 2 small bars of soap, no shampoo etc. You need to bring your own towels. No dishwasher tabs, tin foil and all those other things that you generally get in self catering lodges. And a £150 deposit too....
Had the best time at Piperdam, will be back

We all felt there should have been some basic things left in the kitchen for each customers use eg dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, kitchen roll, kitchen foil and cling film. Also salt and pepper and oil for cooking. In our past experience this has been the case and to not leave such items appears very penny pinching and rather inconsiderate. We were not even warned this would be the case.
The only thing I can complain about is no Wi fi in the lodges everything else was fantastic thanks for a great weekend
Lovely location, swimming pool not to busy, reception staff very helpful.
Disappointing that golf range is out of use. This limits activities especially for children.

Accomodation is fantastic brilliant hot tub and sauna in the executive lodges. The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly. The resort is good with different activities for all ages. It is expensive but as a family with young kids its ideal for us. Would recommend!
Fantastic place! The lodge was exquisite and the hot tub a treat well used!
Everything was perfect.Had a grt time with my friends, they where very impressed with the lodge
You need a more realistic assessment of kitchens. An ice bucket is rather superfluous when the kitchen has NO FREEZER .... not even a small one in the fridge.
In a self catering situation, customers should be aware that taking frozen goods is not a good idea.
Otherwise one could adapt to the utensils available.

Rugged and majestic landscapes steeped in history, lochs and mountain rivers, soaring sea cliffs and sandy beaches, small seaside towns and a lively city – enjoy them all when you stay at our holiday parks in Angus. Often overlooked by the main tourist 'beats', but within easy reach of our holiday parks in Angus, the scenic coastline is a birdwatchers' paradise, offering opportunities for delightful rambles with plenty of sandy beaches to explore, whilst the Angus Glens promise superb hill walking and breathtakingly lovely views. The truly energetic might like to 'bag' some of the Glens' ten Munros. Meanwhile, keen golfers will be heading for Carnoustie. Caravan holidays in Angus would be incomplete without a visit to Dundee, a lively, cosmopolitan city with a thriving arts scene and proud maritime heritage. At the city's Discovery Point, you'll find the three masted wooden ship captained by Scott when he made his Antarctic Expedition in 1901, and the whole family will enjoy a great day out at the Sensation Science Centre. Be sure to visit Glamis Castle – childhood home of the late Queen Mother – and the House of Dun at Montrose, and Arbroath, home of the famous 'smokies' and some fine abbey ruins, is also well worth a trip.

Brentford boss Rosler gives the nod to keeper Lee before Carlisle Utd clash
Last updated at 09:35, Saturday, 18 February 2012
Brentford boss Uwe Rosler has issued a vote of confidence to keeper Richard Lee ahead of Carlisle United's visit after his gaffe led to defeat for the Bees in their last outing.
Lee was beaten by a Steve Gillespie shot in the late stages of Brentford's 2-1 defeat to Colchester despite seeming to have the effort covered.
It was a rare error from the in-form custodian but manager Rosler has thrown a protective arm around the ex-Watford man ahead of Monday's visit of the Blues.
"Richard has won us many points this season," Rosler said.
"We have to look at ourselves collectively before pointing the finger of blame, and mark better as a unit.
"We have to do better with balls into the box. After they had equalised, they looked like scoring from every ball they put in. Richard made some very good saves before they scored. He made a mistake, but things like that happen, and he still has my full confidence."
Lee suffered the misery last season of missing out on the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final against the Blues through injury.
His Wembley heartbreak features in his acclaimed book, Graduation, which reveals how the keeper turned to self-help and Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to help him deal with mental anxiety.
The 29-year-old Lee reveals in the book how he nearly walked away from a career in football on several occasions.
Rosler's side, meanwhile, have won just once in their last 10 games as their play-off push has stalled.
They have drawn five of those games but former Manchester City favourite Rosler has demanded better work at the back against Carlisle.
"That's our problem at the moment – it looks like we have to score two or three goals at least to get the points," said the German, who could welcome back key centre-half Karleigh Osborne from injury.
"We have to deal better with balls in to our box."

CBS has come up with a casting scoop for its Sherlock Holmes remake that is not so elementary after all.
The network confirms that Lucy Liu - currently appearing on season four of Southland - will come on board its upcoming pilot as Dr. Watson, starring opposite Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock in Elementary. As far as we know, the actress will represent the first ever woman to take on this iconic role.
This updated version of the classic tale will take place in modern times and in New York City.
What do you think of this unexpected casting?

Microsoft's new CEO Satya Nadella has hinted at a re-organisation and job cuts at the software giant in an open memo published overnight.
The details will be unveiled when the company announces its full-year financial results on 22 July. "I'll say more then on what we are doing in full-year 2015 to focus on our core. Over the course of July, the senior leadership team and I will share more on the engineering and organisation changes we believe are needed," he wrote.
The rationale for the organisation, wrote Nadella, was the recognition that computing had shifted from a PC-centric to "a mobile-first and cloud-first world". Microsoft, however, still makes the lion's share of its revenues and profitability from desktop and server operating systems, and the Office suite of software.
"Billions of sensors, screens and devices – in conference rooms, living rooms, cities, cars, phones, PCs – are forming a vast network and streams of data that simply disappear into the background of our lives. This computing power will digitise nearly everything around us and will derive insights from all the data being generated by interactions among people and between people and machines," wrote Nadella.
However, with Microsoft one of just many companies competing in cloud computing, and its mobile operating systems relatively unpopular, the company is ill placed to dominate this next wave of computing in the same way that it did in the 1990s and 2000s.
"We will create more natural human-computing interfaces that empower all individuals. We will develop and deploy secure platforms and infrastructure that enable all industries. And we will strike the right balance between using data to create intelligent, personal experiences, while maintaining security and privacy," he added.
But Nadella was less clear about what, exactly, the re-organisation would entail, and how this would change the software and services that the company offers.
"We will build the solutions that address the productivity needs of groups and entire organisations, as well as individuals, by putting them at the centre of their computing experiences... We will build tools to be more predictive, personal and helpful. We will enable organisations to move from automated business processes to intelligent business processes," wrote Nadella.
He promised that future Microsoft software would "understand the rich context of an individual at work and in life to help them organise and accomplish things with ease". The mindset of the company had to change from "software" to "platforms", which would enable third parties to build "experiences for every individual and business on the planet".
Tellingly, perhaps, he did not refer to the Windows operating system per se, but to the "Windows device OS", suggesting a de-emphasis of the company's number-one revenue and profit driver. Instead, Windows will be embedded everywhere: "Windows will deliver the most rich and consistent user experience for digital work and life scenarios on screens of all sizes, from phones, tablets and laptops to TVs and giant 82in PPI boards."
Applications, he added, would be able to "run across all device targets", while also being able to take inputs via speech, pen and gesture, as well as keyboard and mouse.

The concepts of wyrd and orlog are interconnected, but can sometimes prove to be stumbling blocks as their meanings are learned. In Heathenry we have no absolute concept of one's fate, rather we have a notion that our destiny, or doom is comprised by choices and while a certain fate may come to pass, we also have the ability to make other choices to potentially change it. To understand how wyrd and orlog are connected, let us explore the meanings of these words. … [Read more...]

Wyrd Designs – Working with the Ancestors
To be Heathen is to be an animist, meaning that in addition to worshipping the Gods and Goddesses, we also honor our deceased ancestors as well as the land wights. But while most people coming to our religion have some concept of how to honor a deity… when it comes to honoring the ancestors they are stymied as to where to even begin to work with them.I find that a great place to begin is to set up an altar for your ancestors.

Wyrd Designs – Ritual Symbolism in the Northern Tradition

Buenos Aires International Airport Private Arrival Transfer
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Buenos Aires International Airport Private Arrival Transfer. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Very easy way to arrive in a new city and be taken to hotel. Highly recommend it to anyone. Service excellent.
Always there and on time, Viator is so great to have for a friend in a foreign country, when we do not speak the language.
Gordon M
Our plane was three hours late, but the driver was very courteous and understanding.
No issues. Good car and driver got the job done.
Our driver was at the Airport waiting for us even though we were delayed getting out of the airport due to the security checks - very good
We arrived Buenos Aires on December 24th. It was perfect! When we arrived the driver was waiting for us with a sign with our names on it. The drive to our rental apartment was pleasant. I highly recommend it.
Stephen P
Our driver was waiting for us and we were quickly shown to our car
prompt and efficient. Our dirver was waiting for us and the transfer to where we were staying was smooth and without any problems. I would recommend the airport service - especially since we were arriving later in the evening.
Very efficient service
The driver was on time; we found him quickly; he took us directly to the hotel; was friendly, etc.
Good. No problems at airport. We were well satisfied.
No hitches, the guy was there waiting for us, difficult to communicate as he spoke no English, but we got to the hotel no problems, so the service worked just fine.
On time, highly professional and efficient, but quite expensive when compared with the airport taxi service which was equally well organised
Our driver was waiting for us with a sign we spotted easily. He was very friendly, and gave us a good rundown on all the sights as he drove us to our hotel.
Driver was waiting for our arrival as we exited customs. It was exactly what we needed after an overnight flight from the States. Must admit that the way Buenos Aires airport is set up, it would have been easy to get a much cheaper taxi as we exited Customs and went to a taxi rental booth. Coming back to the airport, we elected to use a street taxi which was a significantly less expensive alternative.
Erkki L
Transportaion worked fine and was hassle free. The driver did not speak English, but this was not so important after a long flight. Good way of moving to the city after a long flight....
Michael W
Driver was prompt and car was very clean. Made sure to ask for English speaking driver, sadly he was not.
No probmens, good service, easy to find guide waiting for us at airport
on time, efficient and ideal arrangements, worth paying little extra in advance after long flight rather than waiting in taxi queue
Good service.
Driver was up against a wall away from where travelers exited the arrival area and was hard to locate. We were scheduled for a Seaborn Cruise and one off their representatives found the driver for us. He didn't seem happy about the number of bags we had.
The driver assigned to pick us up at the airport did not have a sign facing the travelers stating our name. We had to pass by several signs, several times, and pick out the contracted transport company name
We were met at the airport by a very courteous driver (he was about 5 minutes late), and he took our bags for us. Unfortunately, his cab was a standard compact car, and we had to put 2 of our bags in the back seat, instead of the trunk. He didn't know a word of English, but was very courteous and got us to our hotel with no problems.

If English is not your first language, you will need to provide proof of your fluency in English before you can begin a programme. The main systems for measuring this are IELTS with a minimum score of 6.0 for degree programmes or TOEFL with a minimum score of 550 for degree programmes. Recently the TOEFL computer-based test has been abolished to make way for the introduction of the Internet-based test, gradually eliminating the traditional paper-based method. Other qualifications may be satisfactory. We can tell you what is acceptable.
No work experience is required.
This programme will meet the educational requirements of the Chartered Mathematician designation, awarded by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, when it is followed by subsequent training and experience in employment to obtain equivalent competences to those specified by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for taught masters degrees.
