why scientists picked up proton for LHC?
It's charged which means it can be accelerated across an electric potential and deflected by a magnetic field, unlike a neutron which is neutral.
It is a baryon, as opposed to a lepton.
It is easier to get it up to TeV than say a deuteron, He-3, He-4, . . . nuclei. There are experiments with accelerated nuclei.
It's relatively simple - a single particle. Multinucleon nuclei would produce many different types of reactions, and comparatively a proton-proton collision is pretty clean.
I expect accelerating protons to be easier than accelerating antiprotons, but I don't really know the technical reasons. Is it because of the vacuum requirements, or is it because a "clean beam" is more difficult ? And what about the physics : is there a difference between proton-proton and proton-antiproton collision above the TeV ?
Accelerating antiprotons is no harder than accelerating protons (it's actually incrementally easier). The issue is that you have to make the antiprotons: the Tevatron luminosity is already limited by antiproton production. This shortage of pbars would be even more acute at the LHC.
I believe accelerating anti-protons is the same as protons, however there is ready access to protons, but anti-protons have to be made by proton-proton collisions then separated from the protons.
I'm not up on the high energy anti-proton/proton interactions, but I would imagine they are different than proton-proton.
I think the number of charged particles coming of an proton-antiproton interaction is greater than for a proton-proton interacting at the same energies - http://www.phys.ufl.edu/~rfield/cdf/chgjet/chgjet_intro.html
Some interesting papers here - http://hep-www.px.tsukuba.ac.jp/research/thesis_d.html
The single proton has the highest charge to mass ratio when compared to composite particles of nucleon, i.e. deuteron, triton and atomic nuclei of the other elements.
This might be of interest - http://www-bd.fnal.gov/public/antiproton.html
and this - Search for Electroweak Single Top Quark Production
Thanks Vanadium and Astro for your answers.
Is accelerating antiproton incrementally easier because of free electrons in the cavities, or for some other reasons ? For the remainder of the technical difficulties, I gather that only the production is more challenging, especially if you are interested in luminosity.
The links above indeed state that at a few TeV, there is no more difference in [itex]pp[/itex] and [itex]p\bar{p}[/itex]. I would be extremely interested in the very rare events where the 3 quarks annihilate each other. But independantly of whether BH will be produced, this (say for instance) [itex]p\bar{p}\rightarrow\gamma\gamma[/itex] would be impossible to see, and probably dominated by FFs anyways...
It's because the emittance - essentially, the size of the beam - is smaller for antiprotons than for protons. Antiprotons sit in an accumulator for ~24 hours, continually being cooled, but protons come out of a bottle. So you have better initial beam quality for the antiprotons, and that is (like I said, incrementally) helpful.
Ah, I see what you meant, thank you for the precision. However, nothing in principle (except cost of course) prevents you from doing the same with protons !
That's right, it doesn't have to be that way. It just is.
Thanks for all of your answers
Why other collisions are not pretty clean?

Respond to Review of Zen Garden
by stephedge
Review: Vu and Ty are the best vegetarian cooks in Louisville. I cannot get enough of ZG. Everything on the menu is not only delicious but prepared beautifully and served by awesome waitresses. This place is small but really is the only place I would take an out of town vegetarian/vegan to eat!! Great atmosphere, Coco is very nice, and the food is to die for. The prices aren't over the top either. I recommend the Zen Garden roll and Quangs Traditional Noodles. YUM!

The proofs were produced quickly, and there was no hesitation when I requested a slight change. The production and shipping time were great. I received my shipment four days ahead of schedule. Most importantly, the final product looks great, exactly like the proof. My colleagues and customers are very satisfied with the charger.

Take a look at these awesome Halloween builds in Minecraft!
Take a look at these awesome Halloween builds in Minecraft!
There's a spooky village that nobody dares to enter – especially on Halloween night! In this video, MrWilliamo decides to risk it and try "trick or treat" on some of the houses to find some candy… but what he ends up finding is something a bit more scary!
Minecraft has officially launched a new downloadable content pack for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. The new DLC provides players with nearly 40 skins in the style of Greek mythology. You can grab the pack for only $4 and get all of those skins plus a custom texture set, a new UI, and a new soundtrack. Skins include Minotaur, Cyclops, Medusa, Cerberus, Poseidon, and more!
Over here at MinecraftBlog.com, we have a situation on our hands! We found this little guy creeping around our house… And we need your help to figure out what to do with him. Vote in our poll and share it with your friends! Whichever action gets the most votes is what we'll do. His fate is in your hands!
Minecraft is an open-world 3D game in which you are able to build and craft virtually anything you can imagine – from tools and houses to functioning computers and pianos. You can expand upon the world's capabilities by using what the game calls "mods." These are essentially modifications that you make by adding bits of code to the game.
The programming language Java is used to write the game so you'll want to become familiar with it in order to alter Minecraft. When you first download the game, your browser runs an applet that's downloaded to your machine in the form of a .JAR file. This keeps your memory footprint small as you travel through the game by loading and unloading 'chunks' as necessary.
Java is a programming language that's relatively easy to grasp. Once you have a basic understanding of it, you'll be able to change the look and feel of the game, create brand new structures, and even add new characters to the Minecraft universe. As your Java skills develop, you'll be able to create new items, mini-games, and more. You'll find that Java is a very versatile language and that being able to edit .JSON files will be a valuable skill both in- and out-of game.
The Simpsons are making their way from Springfield to the Minecraft universe in the form of a fully-textured skin pack for Minecraft Xbox 360 and Xbox One editions! The release is expected to come in late February 2015. The downloadable skin pack will allow you to play as Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie (but not Grandpa). You can also choose from 19 additional characters from the Springfield Elementary School. The Minecraft community is made up of more than 17 million players – who have been voicing their collective desire for new content and additional characters. Twentieth Century Fox and Microsoft have joined forces to answer the call! The Simpsons is the longest running scripted show in television history. Minecraft is one of the most popular video games with more than 100 million downloads. Many players and observers alike are excited to see what players create with this new skin pack.
This week, Minecraft announced that their latest feature – the ability to change your in-game name – has reached the second stage of its development process. For a while, Mojang has been hinting at this release and now it's finally here. The third and final stage in this feature's development process will be its implementation into the game (which is set to occur on February 4th). Some players are suggesting that this feature will ruin the game while others are excited to have the ability to change a name they may have picked a long time ago.
Minecraft is more than just a game that kids enjoy playing – it can also be a great creative outlet for them! Minecraft allows your children to build anything they can imagine and explore a seemingly infinite series of worlds. To many parents, their children's fascination with Minecraft can be awfully perplexing but a deeper look at the game can help to resolve this and even elucidate the educational value of the game.
The Basics
Minecraft has an 8-bit look, making it look like a simple game, but there's actually a lot more to it than first meets the eye. When you start, you'll begin by carrying out simple tasks such as building an elementary structure for safety, chopping down trees, digging tunnels, and harvesting food. You'll learn to craft tools, weapons, stockpile supplies, and create very intricate structures as you progress through the game. Of course, some elements of gravity and physics don't necessarily apply in the Minecraft universe, giving players a bit more flexibility than they might otherwise have.
This week's poll asks, "Which of these Minecraft beds would you choose?" We first shared this poll on Facebook and it got a ton of responses! We've decided to open up an official poll to see what the most popular bed is. Vote for your favorite and leave a comment letting us know which one you picked and why!
Minecraft has a way of making your computer lag but, fortunately, there are some quick things you can do to improve performance.
Lighten the Load
Be sure to close any applications that you aren't using while you're playing Minecraft so that the maximal level of your computer's resources can be allocated to playing the game. You would be surprised by how much memory your computer uses to run Skype, Facebook Messenger, etc. If you're using a laptop, be sure to plug in it so that your computer doesn't switch to 'power saver' mode, sacrificing GPU and CPU performance.
Allocate More Memory to Minecraft
This is a quick and easy way to make Minecraft run faster. While in the game, you should continue to watch your computer's performance so that you can see what tweaks and in-game events adversely impact your experience. To launch Minecraft's debug mode, simply press F3 on your keyboard. When you do this, you'll see a line on the top, left-hand side of your screen that shows your FPS (frames per second) and a number of recent chunk updates. Since Minecraft maps are infinite, your computer cannot create all of it at once. Therefore, it renders chunks instead. The game renders more 16x16x256 chunks as you move around. Fast computers allow this process to happen more quickly while slower computers may encounter lag – especially while flying.

There are many methods a household can take in order to become environmentally friendly and energy efficient. These tips can save you money on your monthly electricity bill and help reduce your carbon footprint.
Watch the wattage
Too much lighting is a waste of a lot of power and it's unnecessary in most instances. General, accent and task lighting can be considered the three aspects for lighting any room, but that doesn't mean they all have to be switched on at the same time. Switch off lights that aren't necessary, or bring down the wattage by using CFL or low-watt lighting options.
Light cleaning
Use a feather duster to clean light bulbs. A buildup of dust on a lamp or bulb can reduce the amount of light output by as much as half. And don't forget to clean and wipe ceiling light covers on a regular basis.
Click of a switch
If you are installing lighting in a large open-plan area, make sure you also install switches to cover individual fittings so that these can be switched off when they are not needed. Always switch off lights when leaving a room.
Romance the night
A table lamp uses less electricity than general and accent lighting, so be bright, switch off the light and switch on the ambience.
See the light
Install motion sensor lights on exterior pathways so that lights only operate when needed. Today's modern solar light options are perfect for paths, so let the sun power your outdoor lighting.
Calculate your savings
Use the Eurolux Energy Savings Calculator to see how you can cut down on costs and save on lighting your home without compromising on style. Pop into your local Builders Warehouse store to check out the wide range of energy efficient and solar lighting options for your home. They also stock an extensive selection of energy saving lamps and fittings.

Poor quality
I was very disappointed in this salt box. The lid did not fit at all. It was too big for the base. I did not send it back because the cost and trouble would have been more than what I panic for it

|ADD vegetable quilt
By: TC,
Texas, USA
Blog: Thimble Chick
I call this my "ADD quilt," because looking at it causes me to feel like my brain is going in six directions at once.
Apparently, I missed the quilting lesson that teaches one not to use too many busy prints in one quilt. I chose only 3 fabrics for this quilt top – a print of scattered peas, a print of scattered carrots, and a print of assorted vegetables – but the end result looks like a bomb went off in a backyard garden.
So this is the quilt that I let the dogs sleep on. This is the quilt that I allow – no, URGE – my kids to take outside for picnics. And this is the quilt that I will someday give to someone to wrap around a piano when they move, and I will pray with every fiber of my being that it (the quilt, not the piano) will blow off the back of the truck and never been seen again.
Animal lovers, please do not fret about the pug on the quilt in the photo. He is already blind, so no worries about the quilt affecting his vision.

|Another Scrap quilt
By: Lee Dueck,
Alberta, Canada
Blog: Lala's Lovelys
Oh this one is taking forever to get done. Started originally in 2004. Started again in 2009 and only needs the stippling finished. I used scraps from previous projects from the 1990's.
Somehow this quilt got really long and narrow. I had to add really wide side borders just so it would hang over the edge of a single bed. My daughters call it the "Ugly Quilt".
I keep telling myself to get this done before I start something else, but since I don't like it I am not sure when it will ever get done!

|Beach Quilt
By: Pat in Sarasota,
Florida, USA
This quilt is for my son's girlfriend who lives in Ind. I was going to make a beach theme quilt for her to wrap in during her cold winter. It was to be a lap quilt. Then they announced they were getting married so the quilt needed to be larger. Ordered more fabric and ended up with way too many different patterns. I thoiught a "water" fabric would be good for the borders. I went online and found what I thought were crazy quilt blocks. Unfortunately the blocks were for paper piecing (who knew what that was) and had no seam allowance. Needless to say my blocks weren't very square. So, I started adding fabric to the sides. the borders look as crazy as the blocks. It looked so wild when I laid it out that I made it reversible so the back is more of the same wacky blocks. This is my 3rd quilt, first 2 were baby quilts, so I can only plead ignorance and the truth is I wasn't thinking! It will be a looong timebefore I try another crazy quilt! It will make a great pet bed if they get a dog.

"What was I thinking"? I can't caption this any better. I made this quilt when I was recuperating from a heart attack 20 years ago and because my job was very stressful had to take extra time to regain my strength.
I had always wanted to make a pattern for a variegated attic window. That was pretty easy to do, then, I went very Amish, like many quilters, a phase in my journey in fiber art.
I never finished it before I went back to work. Over the years I would psyche myself to put it back on the frame to finish it and perhaps give it to a charity to auction.
I am sure it is 80% quilted. But…like the main colour, it is from the black period of my life. I am still plagued with cardiomyopathy, that will never go away and chances are the quilt will never be finished.
So now you have the story about my ugly 3 dimensional quilt.

This pattern is from The Buggy Barn's Certifiably Crazy book. Which is what I must have been when I put these fabrics together! I made it for a contest at a quilt store. Guess who didn't win a prize?
It might be ugly, but it is a good warm lap quilt!

|Feedsacks gone bad
By: Quilty Conscience,
Arkansas, USA
Blog: My Quilty Conscience
My Mother had given me a stack of old feedsacks . I sKetched out a design on graph paper, and I very carefully measured and cut triangles.
It was all down hill after that.
First, I used a very cheap white fabric, it was see through and flimsy.
Then I paid no mind to seam allowance. I had seams that were ranging from a 1/8 inch all the way to 3/4 inch.
And as if that weren't quite enough, one of the the two pinwheel borders I made for the ends was at least 6 inches longer than the other, and neither border matched up to the middle.
The more I pieced, the wonkier it grew. I finally stopped piecing it and stashed it in a box where it stayed, haunting me, for more than 10 years.
I did not finish this quilt, but I desperately wanted to salvage the precious feedsack fabric, so I spent several hours taking the horrid thing apart, and I am currently working on remaking it.
I am happy to report that the remake is going smoothly.

|Katydid's binky
By: Patti Medal,
Minnesota, USA
My step-daughter likes bright colours, so a bright log cabin should be quick, right? Wrong. I wanted 1 1/2″ bars. What WAS I thinking to start CUTTING the strips that size?!? So..start small, finish small. However, with about 200 different fabric bits, there was no rhyme or reason to the blocks. I couldn't just assembly line them..every block is different.
It took me 4 years to finish, but finish I did..cursing at self for at least the last 3 years!! Oh yes..my daughter knew nothing of this quilt. I hung it on the wall at church to present it to her. She was wonderfully surprised, & pleased.

|Leap Frog
By: Ann Champion,
Ohio, USA
Blog: Ann Champion's blog
I had just had a major surgery and was recuperating. I needed to walk a bit so my Husband took me to some garage sales..a favorite past time of mine. I found a maternity dress made from a batik fabric that had frogs on it, which had been gifted to the woman having the sale by her Mother in Law. She thought it was hideous..but at that time (2000) I had never seen batik fabric and I thought it was wonderful.
I bought that dress and came home and took it apart so I could reuse that fabulous fabric. I pulled fabrics from my stash that matched colors in the batik and cut and pieced my blocks OK…BUT..I was on strong pain killers at the time and what looked beautiful to me then..is quite awful when viewed without opiates in my system. ;) LOL

I made this quilt when I was 18 or 19. I let my brother, Mark, pick out all the fabrics – I think he was 5 at the time. We picked out a bunch of 5-inch squares from the fabric store, and we grabbed some remnants of his choice. I didn't even bother doing much measuring or pressing. I just sort of winged it!

|My First Quilt, a quilting disaster
By: Jean Kritenbrink,
Iowa, USA
Blog: Jean's Page
When my oldest daughter was about 7 or 8, I got some fabric strips that were discarded from a furniture mfg plant. They were sheet ends, so pretty nice quality. I decided to make my daughter a quilt using squares of these fabrics. I had sewn forever, but never made a quilt so had no problem sewing the squares together.
I sewed the layers together and turned right side out and tied it. I was pretty proud of it until after I had washed it a couple times and all the batting slid to one end. I knew nothing about battings so didn't know to be sure and get bonded batting.
So I opened it up, pulled all the batting out and she had a "light" quilt. I was disappointed, but she loved it and still has it. She took pix of it so I could show you.

|Mystery night quilt – ugly fabric combination
By: Celine,
United Kingdom
Blog: Espritpatch
I made the quilt top during a mystery night at my LQS in 2007. I choose my Auntie's favorite colours (purple/pink) as this was going to be for her 60th birthday. I selected 2 fabrics from my stash and bought some more to compliment the ones I had. I didn't know how fabrics were going to be organised in the top. I was quite pleased at 7am, after sewing all night to have completed the quilt top that I stashed away for later.
What was I thinking or was I too tired to see clearly? When I got it out again a couple of months ago to finish it I thought it looked horrible. Something just didn't work. I finally worked out that the 2 prints next to each other were awful. I just didn't like it. So I have taken the top apart to get back to the 25 blocks and have even taken some of the blocks apart to change the color arrangement. I have bought some pale lilac background fabric to eventually set the blocks on point and have a new top. You can follow the saga of this quilt on my blog!

|R's graduation quilt
By: Joonybug,
Pennsylvania, USA
I make quilts for family members that graduate from school and I ask what they would like. My son decided he wanted a 2 color quilt..
I found an 8inch block pattern that seemed rather simple with lots of placement options.
It eneded up having too many options and I tried several and ended up with this hodge podge of a quilt. The big blocks did give me great options for hand quilting… but that can't change the way a quilt looks.
I didn't like the pattern when I had the top together and could have changed it.. but didn't..What was I thinking??

I started making this quilt for my daughter for Christmas. I finished the queen size top and hated it…so I had to make her another quick so it would be done in time. This top sits in my cupboard, my ugly duckling. Every once and a while I take it out to see if it looks any better to me. Nope, this material just does not work together.

|The SEA turned RED with blood
By: A. Carole Grant,
British Columbia, Canada
I was reading about the Red Sea crossing of the Isrealites with Pharaoh of Egypt in hot pursuit. I thought I would use a play on words and make this piece as the second in my EXAGGERATION series.
It is pretty bad… everyone thought it was a portrait piece, I wanted the ugly, mad Pharaoh to be in the shape of the RED SEA, or vice versa.. well, you get it, I am sure… I used symbols in the 'rock work' to imitate perhaps a castle, whatever.
It just didn't work like I thought it would. I will cut it up eventually.

|The Turd Runner
By: Jocelynne Broderick,
Utah, USA
Yes, disgusting, I know. But here's the dealio: I promised my mother-in-law I'd make her a table runner for her birthday. They were adding on to their house and were doing kind of a rustic theme, so I chose the browns and golds (which matched beautifully, by the way). I'm making the thing and I'm starting to doubt it. Well, I think, maybe it will look ok when it's done. So I go ahead and finish it.
I laid it out on the table to show my husband and instantly we both thought of a piece of poo. You'll see why. I was mortified, we told her that we couldn't in good conscience give her a piece of poo. And we couldn't imagine her actually putting this on her table, and having people over to eat, with a piece of poo ON THE TABLE. I know *I'd* never be able to look at it. I posted a photo of the offending runner and it was dubbed "The Turd Runner".

This quilt for my hubby (TJ) has been in the making for years. He and his mother picked out fabrics for this quilt. I had no say so whatsoever….I kept saying "there's no way these will go together" "how will I coordinate these colors and patterns"? So, I just starting cutting triangles and sewing them together best I thought they looked. I had hopes for this quilt, I really thought I could turn it around and make it look like a decent quilt. haha…..little did I know, it was too late. I just couldn't! So, I sewed all the blocks together. Layed them out to the design I sewed them in and this is what I came up with. Then I thought a black border couldn't make it look any worse. And some where along the lines, I thought rick rack would look good. WHAT WAS I THINKING?? Next, I got my free motion sewing foot and thought I would practice on this quilt. oh my! Now, the quilt is in such a state I'm not sure I can even fix it. It's packed away in a tote. The hubs likes it!

|Work of 'eart
By: Sue Mobilia,
Blog: Charlotte's Cottage
This was a club challenge to use 3 colours from a specific paint chart. I couldn't find fabric in the colours so I bought the paint and stamped (badly) some cheap unbleached calico. Then cut random strips and wove them into a heart shape with raw edges showing.
The whole quilt is about 20″ square and is as stiff and scratchy as sandpaper. Too small for anyone but a new baby and too uncomfortable to ever use. Too ugly to hang and too rigid to even fold and put away.
The creative process was fun though.

**please excuse my Grammar and Spelling**
Goes to bed around 10 or 11. Wakes up around 5 or 6 to eat then back to bed and will wake up for the day anywhere between 8 & 10.
My doctor recommened starting our bedtime routine around 9 and putting her to bed 10-11 when my boyfriend gets home from work, so she will sleep longer. Because I was putting her to bed at 8 and she was waking up alot. So far its worked!

Actually, I take that back. What they should have said was "games were instantly fun". Not all games were hard. I was 5 when I beat Mega Man 2. I was 4 when I beat Super Mario Bros., and I wasn't (and I'm still not) that great of a game player. However, games back then were fun within the first 5 seconds. You didn't slog through a 15 minute introductory tutorial. You didn't slog through another 15 minutes of cutscenes. You dropped a quarter (or turned on the console), pressed Start, and you were having fun within 15 seconds. THAT is something gaming nowadays has forgotten. #1.1 Agree(8) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply marylinfelton 1157d ago | Spam OneAboveAll + 1157d ago Very valid points. Back then games didn't hold your hand. If you died 3 times without getting extra lives you had to start all over. No checkpoints. If you beat Contra then you were the baddest mofo in school. Most importantly, you got bang for your buck. A nice box with protective sleeves for your game, a nice manual with more than 2 pages and more often then not the game you just purchased came with a Poster to hang on your wall. To top it all off your console always worked. My NES still goes to this day. Already went through one PS3 and 2 360's. #2 (Edited 1157d ago ) | Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply TheFinalEpisode + 1157d ago I agree on everything except for the "more bang for your buck" part.Tthe price to make games has changed dramatically, GTA4 for example cost $100million to make. Back then the whole videogame industry was probably cheaper. My point is if they are going to make better games then its fine to cut back on a few unnecessary extras that don't really add to the gaming experience. #2.1 (Edited 1157d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply SaiyanFury + 1156d ago I agree that games provided more "instant fun" back in the day. I started gaming back in 1986 and games were fun. Games are fun today too, but the reason they're not "instantly fun" with tutorials and the like is because games today are much more complex these days. Back in the days of the NES, you had two action buttons on the controller. These days on an average controller, we'll take Sony's DualShock 3 for example, you have a D-pad, two analog sticks, two buttons when you depress said sticks, 6 face buttons (I factor in Start and Select), and 4 top buttons. That's a far cry from 2 action buttons on the NES controller. Also back then, Start only paused the game (sometimes Select did) and Select was typically only used in simple menus. It's kind of hard to compare games from yesteryear, to games today. Albeit I do agree, games were generally more difficult back then... #2.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply NYC_Gamer + 1157d ago 80's gaming was very limited gameplay and story wise compared to now #3 Agree(3) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply dedicatedtogamers + 1157d ago 80s was limited in story? Go play Zork, Wasteland, the Ultima series, or the dozens of adventure games that came in the 80s. #3.1 Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply thorstein + 1157d ago Indeed. What about Golgo 13? #3.1.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report cpayne93 + 1157d ago I don't know if I would say 80s was better, definitely had its advantages, but I would say the best games were made between 95 and 05. #3.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply AngelicIceDiamond + 1157d ago The 80's? I wouldn't know I wasn't born yet. #4 Agree(1) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply animegamingnerd + 1157d ago same here i was born in 97 all i know about the 80's is the video game crash and the rise of nintendo and i think sega to #4.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply thebudgetgamer + 1157d ago HA, when you were born I was on my way to college. #4.1.1 Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report cpayne93 + 1157d ago Grab yourself an emulator then. I was born in 93 but ive played a ton of nes and snes games. #4.2 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply GREW50ME + 1157d ago #11 There were no $20 prima or brady guides... only the booklet that came with the game, and sometimes a hint or two in Nintendo Power or Gamepro. #5 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply guitarded77 + 1157d ago Nope, there was the Official Nintendo Player's Guide... I saved my $20 up for it and bought it so I could have the maps to Zelda and Rygar. That book was awesome. Related image(s) #5.1 (Edited 1157d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Zodiac + 1157d ago I was born in 1993, but all it takes is an NE, SNES, or Master System emulator to tell you it was better back then. #6 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply e-p-ayeaH + 1157d ago late 90´s and early 2000´s that´s my favorite time in gaming. #7 Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply TheFinalEpisode + 1157d ago The good'ol days when not everything was same thing :,) #7.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Kingthrash360 + 1157d ago Games were better in thos days simply because we played them without caring about things like frame rate or "jaggies" or which system is better. All we did was play, no complaining over bullshit we just had fun. Now..... We're seeing and complaining about stuff that doesn't matter like sales numbers and GPU/CPU specs. I've never seen anything about nes sales numbers or sonic the hedgehog's frames per second. That's why!.... a lot of gamers are bitchy now days, they have lost their way in this gaming world.... Smh #8 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Bathyj + 1157d ago I loved my Game&Watch, Atari 2600 and Commodore 64. I used to regularly have sleep overs with friends and we would game until the sun came up play Commando and The Last Ninja. But I think it wasnt so much the games but more being a kid with no worries. Games werent necessarily better, we were just easier to entertain. Hell, the loading screens of C64 games used to amazing me with their "incredible" bitmap graphics. #9 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Yangus + 1157d ago True, totally great 80's and 90's and early 2000's. My first console Atari 2600 VCS. Old days.. #10 (Edited 1157d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply smashcrashbash + 1157d ago When you beat a game back then you were a king of gamers. People were impressed that you could beat it. Now everyone can beat games and it's no big feat. People talked about how they couldn't finish the first TMNT and considered it unbeatable and unplayable. Guess who beat the whole game five times with no help from anyone while everyone else was griping about it. *points at self* That right,ME! I kicked butt in TMNT and I was proud and still am. I came from a era where if you didn't come to play hard you might as well go home, send the game back to the store and cry. There was barely any help and you would be stuck forever unless you figured it out yourself. It was those games that molded me into the gamer I am today.It helped me adapt to and keep trying to beat a game instead of crying and whining about it online #11 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply fgrtgjrtr 1157d ago | Spam Psychotica + 1157d ago What I miss is that I could understand how to play the games immediately.

< Caitlyn
2,203pages on
this wiki
this wiki
|Skins & Trivia
- Development
- Caitlyn was designed by Ezreal.
- IronStylus has stated when Caitlyn gets a visual update, she will probably have a traditional skin. He hints her look may end up being consistent with Vi, Jayce and Jinx and shows this artwork as a good example of how they might portray her afterwards. The whole article can be found here & here.
- Lore
- Both the icon for Yordle Snap Trap and the actual placed traps appear to be bear traps baited with a cupcake.
- Likely as a reference to this, Vi uses "Cupcake" as a nickname for Caitlyn in some of her special quotes.
- Caitlyn's crime-fighting partner is Vi. When the two of them are in an game together as allies, they get a cosmetic buff: "On The Case: Piltover's finest" where both get an additional gold for every kill/assist they make together.
- When playing against an enemy Jinx:
- Causes Caitlyn (and Vi as well), to get a debuff "Catch me if you can!".
- The debuff reads "Jinx is causing chaos again. How obnoxious... Criminals Apprehended:" followed by a counter that represents the number of Jinx kills/assists.
- +1 bonus gold for every criminal they apprehend.
- General
- Caitlyn was the first champion released in 2011.
- Caitlyn is, along with Lissandra, Varus, Rumble, Sion, Vi, Xerath,and Ziggs, one of the few champions that can CC themselves.
- Caitlyn's rifle can be seen in the Mac Version Launch Video for League of Legends.
- One of Caitlyn's Yordle Snap Trap can also be seen shortly after.
- Caitlyn has the longest Base Attack Range out of all Champions; 650.
- At level 13, Tristana's range exceeds Caitlyn's thanks to her passive, Draw a Bead. At level 18, Tristana's range will exceed Caitlyn's by 19 units.
- If Jinx has maxed her Switcheroo!, using her rocket launcher will allow Jinx to outrange Caitlyn by 50 units as early as level 9.
- Caitlyn's dance and taunts resemble several rifle moves in modern color guard bugle corps.
- Caitlyn has a received pronunciation accent. This is the standard accent of Standard English in the United Kingdom.
- Caitlyn is possibly ambidextrous. In the splash arts for the classic and Headhunter skins, she has her left hand on the rifle trigger, whereas she has her right hand on the trigger in the Resistance, Arctic Warfare and Officer splash arts.
- Quotes
- Caitlyn's quote "Wanna see a hat trick?" is a double entendre referring to the magic hat-trick which is producing an object out of an seemingly empty top hat (similar to the one Caitlyn wears) and the sports term hat trick - doing a triple-feat in any sport e.g. triple-kill in League of Legends, three touchdowns, three goals, etc.
- Skins
- This skin is a reference to not only to (African) safaris, but also to the web browser Safari. She shares the internet browsers theme with Explorer Ezreal, Chrome Rammus, and Foxfire Ahri.
- The skin was a special gift for those who bought the PC Gamer US November 2011 Issue in September 2011. The skin was later made available for everyone to purchase on December 29, 2011.
- This skin is a reference to Predator.
- She shares this theme with Akali, Nidalee, Master Yi and Rengar.
- This skin was released for the 2016 Lunar Revel.
- Her armour design may probably been inspired by Ao Shin.
- Her Yordle Snap Trap instead of a Cupcake, has a Dumpling.
- She shares this theme with Morgana.
- The Hermit of the Howling Abyss knew Caitlyn's mother.
- Caitlyn is partners with Vi in the Piltover Sheriff's Department.
- Caitlyn is also close friends with Jayce and Ezreal.

That was the plan, but Marvel stopped it. They need permission from them to cross anything, other wise the rights would go back to them.
From all the behind the scenes madness that went on, I doubt if Trank would return.
I doubt it. Either Fox will entirely get it right, which they had a c chance of doing here, or it just go back to Marvel and then "boom" it will be pretty much like it's brand new again.
I wouldn't be to sure about that. There are a lot of films that have low ratings, but have gone on to have sequels.
Have you not seen the new TV? Power Rangers tend to have a diverse cast.

Model FAT CECHK 08. bought in 2009. Will brick? PSN is working on this firmware?
today is not able to come, asks update installed fix - (Rebug 3.55.2 Update Package 0.7r3)
Don't install this, Rogero CFW v1.09, the brick-free version is already done. I'll be "beta-testing" it later today and tell you all how it goes.
thanks and nice one. but if his V4 is still buggy and not ready for release how come V1.09 may be ?
Rogero himself never called the version v4, It's just a test CFW he made for people to test and one of the testers leaked it and trolled people, calling it brick free.
And if you set Rogero_CEX4.21_v1.0 will brick? Just really want to play Journey.
Dude, there is a VERY high chance of the brick-free version being released either today or tomorrow, so don't risk.
definitely wait , its not worth a ps3 that you may not find a replacement for.
Yesterday i install Rogero 4.21 v1 on a ps3 slim cech-2501a, the one that came with uncharted 2, Karate Kid Blu-Ray + Pixel Junk Shooter, this console was hardware downgraded 6 month a go, i follow the steps on the tutorial and it worked. today when i get home i will resign my psn downloads and try MLB 2012.
Okay, just got my hands on Rogero CFW 4.21 v1.09, 20 mins for the download to end.
have you got a flasher at the ready just incase BluRay

I need to store username and password in an app.config. I want to encrypt these values using Rijndael algorithm. Where do I store the key and IV for decrypting the un and pw? I need to deploy the application to different servers with different users.
Encrypting the web.config or app.config file is usually done with RSA or DPAPI encryption.
I'm not sure if it would suit you in your case, it's only effective if the users of the applications are restricted and not administrators.
Definitely don't store in the assembly - a relatively simple look at the IL would probably give up the secret. Even obsfuciating it, would provide little extra security.
Easiest would be to use the OS \ file-system security locally on the different servers to control read access to the key file.
Ideally on a text file in a location not accessible via web, only via the local filesystem with tight permissions.
If you need to distribute the app, you could use the following structure
This will prevent prying eyes (or webserver bugs) to access the data. Only physical access to the machine will potentially reveal it, and that usually can be better controlled.
How about using machine key encryption to do it? There is (as far as I know) no easy way of doing this, but you can hack your way into the framework using reflection. The machine key is either not or only partially stored on a machine. If you configure ASP.NET to 'Generate a unique key for each application', the application's path is used to derive the key.
The code would be something like this:

Ok that's cool, is there any way to get that shiny charmander and gible in the feature? In what balls will they be caught? I'd like to trade for them or do some EV's. My shinies are: rapidash, mew, shaymin (I won't trade those 2 easily) and I can conjure a gyrados. Beside shinies I also have some lvl 100 and rare pkmn. Let me know something when you're ready.
EDIT: I have pokérus, this could help.
I am looking for this pokemon; all shiny, with a good nature, not hacked or cheated, in a regular pokéball, I want to change their nick myself or you change it for me, with the selected moves, preferred male, good EV's, : gible/gabite/garchomp (outrage and dragon dane, no higher than lvl 55), gastly/haunter/gengar (under lvl 35), dratini/dragonair/dragonite (under lvl 50 or with outrage and dragon dance), larvitar/pupitar/tyranitar (under lvl 55, with some uber moves), abra/kadabra/alkazam (also some uber moves and good EVs), bagon/shelgon/salamence (dragon dance and outrage). If you can get me these pokémon (remember, shiny. I have them normal so I won't need them normal again.) PM me and we discuss about the trade. I have great offers as well. It has to follow all the restrictions. If you can give me them all at once, plus a shiny metagross (of course, I have an offer for him as well) you get a shiny rapidash above of my other offers as bonus! Thanks.

Product Reviews
CathyRNIllinoisAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A Great StoryFebruary 5, 2015CathyRNIllinoisAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I thoroughly enjoyed this book, number 3 in the Four Seasons series. Charlie and Esther have been married almost 50 years. Esther becomes forgetful, does strange things, drives their car through the carport instead of backing out. Both of them struggle as Esther becomes more forgetful and mixed up while refusing to get medical help. Their friends and neighbor are supportive of them while dealing with their own life issues. How they all deal with these and how their faith helps is a compelling and captivating story.
Loydene Wilcoxson5 Stars Out Of 5October 28, 2008Loydene WilcoxsonThis is a wonderful series that really deals with everyday issues that Christians face. In book 3, the authors really draw you into the story about Charlie and Esther as declining health brings so many different issues. Can't wait to see the outcome and move on to book 4.
Jan Parrish3 Stars Out Of 5July 9, 2008Jan ParrishThis was a hard read for me because of the topic, vascular dementia. Catherine Palmer & Gary Chapman addressed this topic in a compelling, yet realistic way; the confusion, the terrible danger they can unknowingly put themselves in, the sorrow they feel when they recognize theyre not in their right mind. I wouldve liked to see this addressed from their adult childrens point of view as well. Part three in a series, the other miscellaneous characters in the series got little focus as the issue of dementia was addressed. Unsatisfied with one heavy subject, they also touched on autism. In my opinion, they were too many hard topics for one novel and the book was somewhat depressing.Charley, Esters spouse, goes through his own grieving process and struggles to maintain normalcy while Ester is clearly far from her usual self. The book has a sad but hopeful ending.
Harriet Klausner5 Stars Out Of 5September 27, 2007Harriet KlausnerIn Deepwater Cove, Charlie and Esther Moore celebrate fifty years of a strong marriage. The couple love and as important respect one another. In fact many townsfolk see their relationship as the model for couples to emulate.However, when Esther suffers an accident, the ideal relationship begins to feel strain as Charlie resents the pressure put on him to care for his beloved wife while Esther hates his pandering. A worse blow to their marriage is finding a very personal sketch of Esther engraved with a loving message that did not come from Charlie. In the fall of their lives, is the five decades old marriage between the Charlie and Esther heading to divorce court?The fall of the Four Seasons of Marriage series (see IT HAPPENS EVERY SPRING and SUMMER BREEZE) is an enjoyable look at a couple whose marriage has seemed perfect to outsiders for five decades, but in their golden years has issues for all to see. The story line continues to use fiction to provide readers on ways to maintain a strong relationship regardless of how much time together has past. Catherine Palmer and Gary Chapman continue to provide a deep look at couples who have overcome trials and tribulation by FALLING FOR YOU AGAIN and again and again.----------Harriet Klausner

UK Trade & Investment
|Non-ministerial government department overview
|October 2003
|Preceding Non-ministerial government department
|United Kingdom
|1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET
|Annual budget
|£270 million (2009-2010)[1]
|Minister responsible
|Non-ministerial government department executive
|Parent department
|Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and Foreign and Commonwealth Office
UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) is a UK Government department working with businesses based in the United Kingdom to assist their success in international markets, and with overseas investors looking to the UK as an investment destination.[3]
UKTI was formed in May 1999 as British Trade International, comprising two parts: Trade Partners UK (for export) and Invest UK (for inward investment - FDI). In October 2003, the former department name and two inner departments merged and became UK Trade & Investment to simplify the outward recognition of the organisation, and possibly to reduce confusion with the two departments.
To support its aim to "enhance the competitiveness of companies in Britain through overseas trade and investments; and attract a continuing high level of quality foreign direct investment".
UK Trade & Investment is an international organisation with headquarters in London and Glasgow in Scotland. Across its network UK Trade & Investment employs around 2,400 staff and advisers, including overseas in British Embassies, High Commissions, Consulates and trade offices, and regional offices in the nine English regions [4]
The delivery of many UKTI regional services within the United Kingdom is contracted out to other organisations. In Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, UKTI regional services are now delivered by Serco, [5] In China, the China Britain Business Council, another private body, is the provider.
Business and university leaders work with UKTI as "business ambassadors". They promote the UK internationally and highlight trade and investment opportunities. They focus on helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
UK Trade & Investment brings together the work of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The UK Special Representative for International Trade and Investment works as part of UKTI to promote British business and produce.
UK Trade & Investment has public-private partnership agreements with the Federation of International Trade Associations under which they contribute market research and other reports on GlobalTrade.net.[6]
UK Trade & Investment has an arms-trade branch called UKTI DSO (UK Trade & Investment Defence & Security Organisation) headed by Sir Richard Paniguian.[7]

text: A new report scrutinizing the risks of eight common vaccines is over 600 pages long, combs through more than 1,000 research papers, and is the best analysis of suspected vaccine-caused medical problems that's ever been done, says the high-powered committee that wrote it. Even so, it's not likely to end the contentious debate about vaccine safety in Washington state, which has the highest rate in the nation of children who enter school without the required vaccines. A hotly contested law passed this year bars parents from simply signing to exempt their children; starting this fall, they must include a doctor's certification that they've been informed of vaccines' risks and benefits. Ideally, worried parents would be able to turn to such a report for answers. In some cases, the committee, convened by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, delivered the goods. In 14 cases the panel examined, it found convincing evidence some vaccines can cause rare adverse events in certain people, including seizures, brain inflammation and fainting. Those problems were, in most cases, experienced by people with immune-system deficiencies. The committee also found the evidence doesn't support any connection between autism and the MMR vaccine for mumps, measles and rubella (German measles).

Best Chicken Wings (2005)
Gray's Grill
When you order chicken wings, you want the whole shebang: a lopsided w of drummie, drummette, and that extra pinky on the end that functions best as a handle. That's what they serve at this tiny, carryout-only soul-food joint. A ten-piece box sells for $5.50 and comes in four varieties: mild, hot, lemon pepper, and "the famous Pompano Wings." The latter are bathed in a sauce that's neither hot nor exactly sweet. Neither spicy nor bland. Call it a flavor not found in nature. Gray's makes it easy to fulfill your fowl cravings, as it's open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. They deliver with a $20 minimum order.

Ricky Williams doesn't travel to the beat of his own drummer. He invents his own percussion instruments, devises new technology to capture the sounds of the instruments, and then reworks the audio with Pro Tools until it's indecipherable. Then he disappears for three months and comes out smelling of patchouli and individualism.
News from Dolphins camp today tells us that Ricky Williams has been attending night school to finish his undergrad degree. He's focusing on pre-algebra and English first. Why? From the drummer's mouth himself: "I've always been good with numbers." Shine on, you crazy Dolphin.
Why would he sign up for night courses at Nova? Why, just like every other NCAA athlete, he's preparing to go pro in something besides sports. He wants to go pre-med so he can study osteopathy. Osteopathy, as you well know, is glorified massage therapy. (Note: we just said that to irritate osteopaths. Do not take medical advice from us as we are not an NFL running back.)

|Key Info
Can Tapies offers 3 fully equipped apartments. One apartment has 5 ensuite bedrooms, another flat has 3 ensuite bedrooms, and the third flat has 4 bedrooms sharing 1 bathroom. It is very important to stress here that these are not 3 apartments crammed into a normal farmhouse. This is a huge palatial mansion, and each apartment is very spacious, with 10 meter high-ceilings in some points. The apartments cannot be rented separately. We rent this house to large groups who want to have holidays together but each group or family has it's own living quarters to come back to after enjoy activities and meals together, both indoors and outdoors.Each apartment is very generously proportioned, with fully equipped kitchen, living/dining room, large rooms, private terraces, each flat set well apart from one another. There is a new 100m2 playroom with billiard, ping pong, and babyfoot. The 12x5m swimming pool is set on a terrace just below the house next to a football pitch with goalposts. The views throughout are great! Perfect for larger groups but priced for smaller groups who might just want a little extra space! This is a quiet place. Large groups or party animals please stay away!The owners live in a similarly splendid mansion 2 kilometers away. The employ three local ladies to clean the house between rentals, and these same ladies are available to work for you, whether it be extra cleaning help, or to go shopping and cook and prepare excellent meals for you. Their extensive menus of home cooked Catalan roots cuisine are getting excellent reviews!

|Further details indoors
The main entrance to the house consists of a series of stone chambers leading to the different apartments, all quite atmospheric and the walls have ancient farm implements on display. From this downstairs hall there is a door leading to the new playroom, where the garage was, and three separate stairways going up into the three different apartments.
Apartment 1 on entrance level has 3 en suite bedrooms: 1 room has 1 double bed and 2 large rooms have 2 double beds each. All rooms have private bathrooms. This flat has a large kitchen/dining/living room with a fireplace and TV and the dining room table here seats 10 guests. Outside on the front it is a covered BBQ and at the back another uncovered BBQ, both with tables and chairs.
Apartment 2 on first floor right hand has 5 en suite bedrooms: 3 rooms with queen size double beds and 2 large rooms with queen double bed and 2 single beds each. All rooms have private bathrooms. It has a separate kitchen and a banquet hall about 80 m2 seating 14, but with a couple of extra planks of wood on tripods this table can seat over 30 guests. The kitchen lead to a nice covered terrace with great views.
Apartment 3 on the first floor at left hand has 4 bedrooms: 2 rooms with queen size double beds, 1 room with 2 single beds and 1 room with 1 single bed. They all share a huge bathroom. This apartment has a central dining/living room with a dining room table seating about 10 or so, the living room with fireplace and TV and exit to the huge uncovered terrace and solarium, and a separate kitchen with a breakfast table for 6.
There is also a washroom downstairs with 2 washing machines and 1 clothes drier and a sink for hand washing.
|Further details outdoors
Situtated about 1 km of fully paved road, the wide driveway leads to the esplanade in front of the house, where there are a couple of outdoor covered sitting/dining areas. The first is a sort-of gazebo with 4 tables and 24 wicker chairs perched above the pool area, which is set in an olive grove a terrace level below.
The views from here are magnificent, 240º views north from the Pyrenees down east to the coast. The other outdoor sitting/dining area here is beside the built-in BBQ (see photo). At the back, there is another small sitting area with a BBQ.
The new 12x5 meter swimming pool is on a terrace just below the house with a fairly wide lawn and some shade trees, 16 deck chairs, and a small WC and changing room and a small table for 4 under a porch beside the pool. There is also a very convenient poolside shower. Some guests said that the pool was conveniently apart from the living area so that small children could not reach it easily.
|Further details
General Proceedures
1) Deposits:
The standard method for making a reservation is by paying a deposit of 25%, usually directly to the owner´s bank account. This deposit is to guard against no-shows, and the amount received is deducted from the total cost of the rental. The remaining 75% is due either prepaid well ahead of your arrival or in cash upon occupying the property (you will be met at the property by the owners, who live 2 kms away).
There are many ways to make the deposit. By far the most common method is by Electronic Bank Transfer, and most of you will simply make a transfer from you online banking account, but in some cases I can make a charge on your VISA or Mastercard or you can send a Certified Bankers Cheque directly to the owners. I describe these methods in detail in email 2 of 3 on deposits. You decide which method is best for you, or feel free to come up with your own method. European Union bank account holders will want to send bank transfers as there are now absolutely free charges and commissions between EMU countries, EU regulation 2,560/2001 which came into effect July 2002.
2) Price all inclusive and changeover times
Rental fees quoted in our website are all-inclusive and there are no extra or hidden charges of any kind. All properties are rented clean, with plenty of clean sheets and towels and kitchen linen, etc., as well as your usual cooking utensils, and in many cases some basic start-up foodstuffs, like salt and pepper and olive oil, vinegar, coffee, etc. is there upon arrival. Some houses offer more generous welcome packages of food and drink. Those who rent for two weeks get a house cleaning and sheet and towel and linen change at the end of the first week included in the rental. Additional maid service is available upon request (usually at about 10 to 12 Euros per hour, minimum 3 hours). You are kindly requested to leave the house pretty much as you found it at the end of your stay.
There is no damage deposit. We trust you to contact me or the owners if something is broken so that we can fix or replace it before the next guests come in.
In the summer high season, most properties try to not to lose a day between rentals, and rentals are back to back, so incoming guests are kindly requested to occupy the house in the afternoon starting as of 5 pm and depart relatively early on the last day, usually before 10 am, so as to give time for a thorough cleaning between rentals. This is standard everywhere in the villa rental business. If you want to show up early, please check with me first. We can try to arrange for you to leave your things somewhere safe in the house and come back later when the cleaning crew has finished. Do not go into the house and please stay out of the way of the cleaners, gardeners, and pool maintenence staff or they might not finish their jobs! I get a lot of complaints from owners about guests who show up early and interrupt the cleaning. If you are arriving late in the day when shops are closed at 21:00h or on a Sunday, or on a holiday, I can arrange to have the owners do a shopping for you.
3) Balance due
The balance due for all rentals must be either prepaid well in advance of your rental (see email 2 of 3) or handed over in Euros cash upon arrival and getting the keys for the property from the owners. Payment at the end of the rental is not acceptable. Owners do not want to be in the position of having to chase after their guests for payment. In fact I advise owners not to hand over the keys until they have full payment.
It is up to you to make sure payment in full is made prior to arrival or be prepared to pay in cash upon arrival. Don´t leave this to the last minute as local ATM machines will not give you more 500 Euros per day, and local banks will not accept more than a few hundred Euros worth of traveller´s cheques due to massive fraud in that sector.
While you are here, house owner´s and/or their caretakers are always on hand in case you need them, as am I (Charlie). I'll be sending you an email asking for all your arrival details. Let's work together to make things go smoothly for all concerned. To a large extent, this sector of the "hospitality industry" depends on mutual trust and respect between owners and their guests. I can always be reached so feel free to call me or have the owners call me with any questions you may have, whether it be ahead of arrival, when you are with the owners, or during your stay. My telephone numbers are in the signature below.

What can one say about the Costa Brava?
Often considered a blend of the Côte d'Azur & Tuscany but with a Spanish flair for fun, the Costa Brava is rightfully famous as one of Europe's premiere holiday destinations. Why?
From the breathtakingly beautiful coastline, where wide beaches of golden sand and crystal clear waters alternate with rocky promentories and little coves backed by sheer cliffs topped with pine and oak forests, the Costa Brava boasts 150 blue-flag, top notch beaches. The interior of the Costa Brava is every bit as stunning as the coast (and far less touristy, of course!), with pristine medieval villages set in typically Mediterranean landscapes on the coastal plain, looking very much like Tuscany, and quickly ascending to typically Alpine landscapes as you work your way up into the Pyrenees, with trout-filled streams feeding environmentally protected lakes - like the one in Banyoles - offering a welcome alternative to the coastal beaches, yet only half an hour away by car.
There is always plenty to do. My 90-page guidebook describes 10 routes you can take on daytrips throughout the region. From village to village and including historical sites, recommended beaches, local festivities and folklore, restaurants, market towns, etc -- the guidebook in indispensable for gettting the most of your holiday and steering you clear of the worst tourist-traps in the area. Included are info on the 14 golf courses on the Costa Brava, numerous aquaparks & go-carting circuits, and every town seems to have a horseback-riding club & bicycle rental.
... but of course the main reason for coming to this part of the world is for the good weather, the laid back and friendly local atmosphere, and the excellent and very affordable food and drink. My guidebook explains local dishes, recommends restaurants and cafés, markets and specialty shops, and includes a guide to Spanish wines and cavas. By the way, my favorite local prix fix lunch menus cost about 10 Euros for a 3 or 4 course meal, including wine.
While I am being asked to talk about the Costa Brava, most people enjoy a day trip or two to Barcelona, city center is only one hour away by car or local commuter train. Many guests will also make their way to the Port Aventura amusement park, two hours due south, just off the AP-7 highway, just a few kms from the house. Day trips into Southern France are also recommended, the French border is just a 40-minute drive due north.
When you book your rental villa with me, I will send you a copy of the Guidebook as a .pdf file.
To sum up in one quick phrase, the Province of Girona and Costa Brava is often described as "a quintessentially Mediterranean experience". After only 23 years living here, I couldn't agree more!
This house is situated 2 kms from Camós and 5 kms to Banyoles, on Km 5 on the GIV-5147 road, to be exact. To give you an idea: Between Girona, Costa Brava´s historic capital city, and the elegant medieval lakeside town of Banyoles, there is a 4-lane highway. Running parallel to this highway to the south and hemmed in by the Serra Llonga mountains, is a winding back road with a few nice old stone villages and some renowned local restaurants. Camós, the nearest town to Can Tapies, is about 2 kms away - a 20 minute walk from the house.
Banyoles is a market town with a pleasant 12thC old town with lots of museums and historic buildings, surrounded by a newer part of town with a dozen or so supermarkets - it seems everyone is the Pla de L´Estany region does their shopping here. The area is pleasant and well-situated, the environmentally protected lake at Banyoles a exceptional gem, Girona´s old town is a short drive away, and the beaches are only about 25 kms away as the crow flies.

Fisher defends questionable calls in FSU's loss
Updated: October 8, 2012, 6:54 PM ETAssociated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State's dream of contending for a national championship may have disappeared on a pair of fourth quarter decisions by coach Jimbo Fisher.
Not that the third-year coach was second-guessing himself on Monday.
"I wouldn't do it differently," he said. "There's nothing we regret."
The most mystifying call may have been Fisher's decision to not attempt a 51-yard field goal that would've given the Seminoles a nine point lead and virtually sealed a win at ...
