£799(from/pp) SAVE £248pp
There is simply nothing quite like Mandina. Hidden away in the african bush on a mangrove-lined tributary of the River Gambia, it has its own special atmosphere that gradually works its way into you over the course of your stay - and for many, a few days just isn't enough.
The excellent quality, riverside Mandina Lodges at Makasutu Forest offer an unforgettable experience, with the chance to discover the people and wildlife of The Gambia that have made the forest their home: the amazing birdlife, monkeys, monitor lizards and ever-increasing troupes of baboons. Mandina Lodges is featured in the book '1001 Escapes To Make Before You Die' which is a guide for those in search of the world's most unusual and beautiful places. The owner, Lawrence Williams was also presented with the National Order of The Gambia by the President in April 2012.
During the day you can choose to relax by the large pool, blissfully soaking up the atmosphere, disturbed only by birdsong and the hum of chattering monkeys; or take advantage of the expert guides provided, to explore the forest and mangroves on foot or by canoe. Why not wander over to Base Camp with another freeform pool to enjoy along with an impressive three-storey viewing tower overlooking the creek? In the evening, enjoy a refreshing drink in the bar area overlooking the mangroves, whilst meeting new friends and sharing stories of your experiences that day. Dinner is served al fresco in one of the thatched dining areas, and sometimes the fire is lit with the dancing flames creating a magical mood. Please note that, due to the remote location, menus are simple but of a good standard.
There are nine lodges, maintaining an exclusive yet slightly rustic feel, all built to a high standard, largely from local materials, and are extremely impressive and comfortable. As you would expect in this rural setting they come equipped with fewer practicalities than mainstream hotels, however we believe this simply adds to the charm of the lodges and offers an authentic bush experience. There are three styles of lodge – the spacious Jungle lodges with private roof terrace are set back from the river close to the restaurant/bar and pool area, whilst the popular river lodges are either floating or on stilts. The Mangrove Lodge which enjoys a large terrace and is located beyond the jungle lodges on a small inlet nestled in the mangroves. Each lodge has a private but roofless bathroom along with flushing toilet in Jungle and Mangrove lodges and composting toilet in Floating/Stilted lodges (these are inspired by Swedish log cabins and are of a very acceptable standard). The impressive Stilted Lodge is on two floors with separate bedroom, outside deck and lounge area on the lower level plus upstairs day room. Fans are employed instead of electricity sapping air-conditioning and, following substantial investment, solar power is now used most of the time.
Situated just 45 minutes from the coastal resorts on a tributary of the River Gambia, the 1000 acre Makasutu Cultural Forest is the result of 20 years' hard work by two Englishmen who were inspired by the beauty of the area and motivated to return and build unique accommodation. James English sadly passed away in 2011, however Lawrence Williams continues to have a big presence at Mandina (along with his much-loved pet dogs and cats!) and is well known to our many repeat guests, and we are delighted that James' former wife, Linda English, has decided to make Mandina her home and the property continues to benefit from her 'woman's touch'!
The focus has always been on ensuring the local population benefits from the forest and emphasis has been placed on using local materials and employing staff from the surrounding village communities. This means that service is very friendly but perhaps not as polished as in some resorts. There are also strong links between the Makasutu Wildlife Trust and the Gardens for Life programme sponsored by The Eden Project in Cornwall. The owners are also involved in organising a project called 'Wide Open Walls' which involves international street artists offering their talents within the Ballabu Conservations Area. In 2010 they first painted the village of Kubeneh, which can be visited from Mandina and is well worth seeing. The project has gone from strength to strength and international artists dedicate time each year, with the ultimate objective of creating an area of cultural interest to visitors which will help support the villages in the future.
We believe a stay at Mandina provides a unique chance to experience the real Africa in comfortable and striking surroundings and, for some, a short break simply isn't enough and we can provide plenty of ideas of how to fill your time there, as well as simply relaxing by the enormous pool. The lodges are easily accessible, only 30 minutes from the airport and guests can spend their whole holiday at Mandina or for longer stays combine with a coastal hotel. Alternatively, why not consider a visit to the Chimp Rehabilitation Project Camp, 3 and a half hours inland from Mandina?
Chris Packham, ornithologist, presenter of the BBC's Springwatch and Autumnwatch, and frequent visitor to The Gambia, stayed at Mandina for the first time in 2010 and now returns each year to lead a private tour for our guests. He calls it "a slice of Gambian paradise: beautiful lodges, luxurious pool, amazing food and a tranquil river setting - all topped off with unrivalled hospitality. It's also home to a great diversity of wildlife which is easy to enjoy from boat or bank."
Mandina Lodges accept children 10 years and over - as the property is by the river, parents must supervise children at all times. Please note that there is little in the way of entertainment for children, however the wildlife holds appeal for all age groups.
The standard excursion programme is not possible from Mandina, however, for a supplement, why not enjoy a romantic Sunset Cruise in your private dugout canoe complete with bottle of wine, to see amazing egret colonies roosting and other wildlife settling down for the night? The tranquillity of the area as well as the changing colours of the river as the sun sets will stay with you. You may also want to try your hand at fishing - either by boat (we recommend you bring your rods if you are a keen angler), or amateurs have also had success simply fishing off the pontoons of the floating lodges or jetty. The chef is more than happy to cook anything of substance that you catch for your dinner.
Watching the egrets and herons arrive back at their roost as the sun sets serenely over the mangroves, whilst sipping a cold beer is the best evening of my year - it's simply awesome. Mandina is beautiful, it's a patch of heaven on earth, tranquil, lush, peaceful and full of fabulous wildlife and the lodges are just perfect.
Chris Packham, BBC presenter
Set in a peaceful location under the shelter of an impressive straw and canvas lodge, Mandina's restaurant serves a variety of fresh, tasty Gambian dishes and local fish in a well-presented manner.

More information
Q. Are mosquitoes a problem?
A. Not once the rainy season is over, and by December there are hardly any; in fact often fewer than at beachside hotels which use sprinklers to water the gardens leaving pools of fresh water. This is because the river here is tidal salt water, not fresh water swamp, as is often associated with mangroves. It is always advisable, though, to wear insect repellent, especially at dusk.
Q. Are the baboons vicious?
A. Not at all, although in large numbers on the move they can look intimidating. Just don't keep food in your lodge or leave anything outside, especially in the open air bathrooms. They don't come out when it's dark, so are nothing to worry about. We have men here whose sole job it is to try to keep them away from the lodges during the daylight hours. Our pet dogs provide an effective warning system.
Q. Can we swim in the river?
A. We advise against it: strong tidal currents, stingrays and the odd crocodile could be encountered.
Q. Can we go fishing?
A. The river is a wonderful fishing ground and guests have done very well from floating lodges 3 and 4, but if you are serious about the sport, please bring your own rods etc.
If you just want to 'have a go', Max, our boatman, will rig a hand line up for you, but we do make a small charge for the line, hooks and weights etc. as so many get lost. For bait people usually buy a few prawns from the kitchen, although some have success using just bread.
Q. Can our guide take us fishing in the canoe?
A. No, because constant paddling, especially when a tide is running, is totally exhausting. Also other guests might want to use the canoes. Fishing trips in our motor boat cost £25 an hour from the start of fishing.
Q. Are there lots of creepy crawlies?
A. Well, we are in a forest so obviously there are lots of insects and reptiles there, and monitor lizards and geckos are frequently seen near the lodges. It is, however, rare to see a snake, a giant snail or a land crab outside the rainy season.
None of the insects you are likely to encounter in the grounds will do you harm and the lodges are sprayed every night while guests are having dinner.
Q. Do you have wifi?
A. Sadly not. So far no-one has come up with a reasonable plan or price for installing it. You can, however, get a connection to the internet on your smart phone, although it is intermittent. If it is important that you contact home and you encounter a problem, Lawrence or Linda will try to help you.
Q. Do you accept credit cards?
A. No, we have no landline or wifi to enable this.
Q. Which currency is accepted for payment?
A. We accept Dalasi or any strong currency at the Central Bank rate, which, of course, can be subject to change. If you want to have some local currency for use here, we suggest you change your money at the airport in Banjul. Even if you find someone to provide it in the UK, you will probably get a very bad rate of exchange.
Q. Can I use an electric kettle or a hairdryer?
A. We run on solar and generator, and although we rarely have a time without power, we don't have enough for everyone to plug in an electric kettle. You can borrow a hairdryer if you need one.
Q. Can I drink the tap water?
A. lot of people do. Our water comes from a borehole and most will use it for cleaning their teeth but tend to drink bottled water just to be on the safe side.
Q. What clothes will I need?
A. It depends on the time of year but it is advisable to bring a sweater or light jacket as the evenings, after a warm day in the sun, can sometimes feel chilly, especially from December to March. During these months we use the fire pit, where guests can sit around, chat and have a drink after dinner. It's advisable to wear sturdy shoes or sandals for walking in the forest, not particularly because of insects but because of thorns on fallen palm leaves. A hat is essential - we have had a few cases of mild sunstroke because people have refused to wear one when the sun is high. Dress is always casual.
Q. What about tipping?
A. Obviously this is optional but much appreciated by the staff. We ask guests to tip their guide, their housekeeper and their waiters individually and then most people leave something for the back of house staff which is distributed to all those behind the scenes once a month. All tipping is done at the end of your stay except, perhaps, for a one-off service which the guest feels should be rewarded.
Q. How much should I leave?
A. That is left entirely to your own discretion. If you would like any guidance on this, please ask Linda during your stay.
Q. Do we have our own guide?
A. Yes, you will have a designated guide who will arrange all trips, walks etc. after consulting you.
Q. Do I have to pay for canoe trips etc.?
A. No. All our guides, who are superb at helping spot birds and other wildlife, are paid by us but you can show your appreciation by your tip at the end of your stay. There are a few excursions by motor boat (eg the Sunset Cruise) for which you have to pay extra, or, of course, if you want to use a taxi. We have selected safe drivers with decent cabs which we can book on your behalf. Again, all such charges are paid at the end of your stay.
Q. Can we use our guide for a day's excursion outside Makasutu?
A. Yes, by arrangement with the General Manager. It is, of course, expected that you provide food and drinks for him during the trip, plus transport home if you get back to Mandina after dark.
Q. How much is the Sunset Cruise?
A. We charge £75 per couple for the 2.5 - 3 hour trip, accompanied by your guide and our boatman. This includes a bottle of our South African house wine. Details are in each lodge and it can be booked ahead or when you arrive. We have a small boat which takes up to four people and a larger one for up to 12 guests. We can't guarantee sole use of a boat if we are busy but we do our best to accede to all our guests' requests.
Q. Do you cater for vegetarians?
A. Yes. Please make known to our Head Chef any special dietary requirements about which we might not have been informed. We don't have a written menu; it changes every day.
Q. Can you cater for special occasions?
A. Yes, provided arrangements are made in advance. In fact, because we have only nine lodges, we would be more than happy to take groups who could take over the whole complex. Mandina is not suitable, though, for very formal occasions.

I was just wondering how fast everyone else's chest has been growing...I'm 9 weeks 1 day (first pregnancy), and I had gone up from a B to a C by 7 wks 3 days! Has anyone else experienced growth this fast?! It's driving me crazy, but my husband loves it...hahaha....
How fast is your chest growing?!
Gone up two cup sizes (B to D) in the last five weeks. Boo. DH is happy though :)
JEALOUS!!! I'm 11 weeks today and still just my B cup... small B cup at that! I want BOOBS! I never got them last time either, even when I was breastfeeding!

Not nearly as much as I wish they would lol. I've always been between an A and B and now I'm MAYBE a full B.
It's a boy!!! Due 7/11/10
I am growing super fast. That was my first symptom of pregnancy. I can't wear my D bras, its too embarassing. I am wearing sports bras with cami's this week, I will be buying a DD bra this weekend.
I hope they slow down soon! I'm only 5'2 and am starting to look pretty crazy!
Jack Stephen born at 33 weeks on June 5, 2010. He's my big healthy boy today!
I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow and I feel like mine have gotten MUCH bigger.Im a B right now and Im thinking a C isnt too far away.!
Not fast enough, ha ha! I am a "barely" B, and I didn't grow at all w/ my last pregnancy much to my husband's dismay, and seem to be headed down the same road w/ this one. :-) Definitely cheaper in the bra department though!
Get Educated-Save a life. www.afsp.org
I'm 7w or 7w5d (depends how you date). I just noticed my breasts are a little fuller, but certainly not so much that I have to wear a different size or even that my husband notices (and I'm a small A, so a little change is proportionally a big deal). I assume they'll keep growing significantly, but I'm in no rush. :) I'm okay with my small breasts ... I'm more afraid of the infamous deflation after they get huge (sometimes small than before pg). I'm okay with staying small if it means less post-breast-feeding shrinkage.

I went to motherhood maternity for a pair of tights and they talked me into being fitted for a bra. I was a 36D before now i am wearing a 40F bra from motherhood (it is looser in the back but they said if i wanted a 38 i would have to go up to a G, which they didnt have in stock and would have to order... I am sure i will get up to a J or something by the end of pregnacy.

I mentioned it to my DH last night and he said "It's been so long since I've seen them I wouldn't know". I haven't let him touch them for so long because they have been SO DARN SORE!

Man denies fourth drunken driving offenseOctober 29,2013Man denies
fourth DUI
An Orwell man charged with a fourth offense of drunken driving denied the felony charge in court Monday.
Peter Pfenning, 50, pleaded innocent to a charge of DUI 4 which carries a potential maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and a minimum sentence of at least 192 consecutive hours of jail time.
Pfenning, who appeared in court on a citation, remains free on court-ordered conditions that include he not consume or possess alcohol and that he report daily to the Rutland County Sheriffs Department for alcohol testing.
Pfenning was arrested earlier this month after Vermont State Police said he was seen driving in the wrong lane on Route 7 in Clarendon. Police said Pfennings blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.188 percent. The legal limit to operate a motor vehicle in Vermont is 0.08 percent.MORE IN This Just In

Syma S107 No Fly Zone
Posted: January 8, 2012
When a friend at work got a Syma S107 IR helicopter to fly around the office, I decided to see if I could jam the signal and create a no fly zone around around my area. A quick search of the Internet and I found several people who already reverse-engineered the protocol with the best ones being here and here. I then went to NewEgg and bought my own helicopter so I could debug this thing. Actually, these helicopters are quite fun, although we both broke a tooth on one of the gears in each of our 'copters so they don't fly as well anymore. At least it flies better than my Linksys Quadcopter project :).
Related Projects @mikekohn.net
So I started with a smaller circuit and different firmware that simply sends a command to the 'copter over and over to prove I can at least control it. I knew I needed a strong IR LED, so I went to Mouser and found a Vishay TSFF5210 IR LED. The angle of half intensity of the LED is 10 degrees which seems a bit focused, but the radiant intensity was a big number :). Unfortunately, to get that high intensity I believe it takes 1A of current and the LED is only rated at 100mA continuous. Since I'm pulsing this LED I decided to drive it around 200mA (assuming my calculations are correct.. if the exact current calculation was needed I should have used an ammeter). To drive the LED I'm using a high-gain ZTX1049A transitor. To control the LED I used an MSP430F2012 since I had some laying around. The original circuit simply had an IR emitter that sent a single command over and over to the copter.
My next step was to modify the circuit and source code for jamming. I pointed 4 IR LED's in 4 different directions and put four Vishay TSOP38223 38kHz IR sensors next to them. When any of the four 38kHz IR sensors senses the remote control trying to send a command, the firmware is programmed to flash a yellow debug LED and send out its own command on all 4 IR LED's to turn the thrust off. Most likely the 'copter never really sees this command as the IR from the circuit probably just mixes with the remote's IR and creates garbage causing the helicopter to fall from the air. Achmadinejad would be proud :).
Note (January 26, 2012) Thanks to a poster on Hack A Day named Bogdan, the 100ohm resistor on the base of the ZTX1049A should be 1000ohm. The 100ohm resistor was pulling too much current on the pins of the micro causing it to reset and crash the MSP430 Launchpad and stuff. Because of the problems I was sending IR commands 1 byte per LED. With the change (and using a battery instead of the power supply I have that doesn't support the current draw) I can send the data on all four LED's at the same time. I posted a new schematic and new firmware after around 7pm central time in the US.
The firmware is pretty simple. I set up the internal DCO of the MSP430F2012 to run at 16MHz (if anyone from Texas Instruments reads this, PLEASE make an MSP430 chip in DIP packaging that can take an external 16MHz resonator or crystal. The DCO sucks.). Anyway, I set up Timer A to interrupt every 210 cycles which comes up to around 76190 times a second (double the 38kHz frequency). I used r13 to point to 1 of 2 interrupt routines: led_on, which toggles the output LED's and led_off which turns all LED's off. The led_on routine will also count the number of times the interrupt has been hit in the r5 register. This allows my main routine to keep time of how long each "burst" is. For example, when r5 counts to 152, it means 152 interrupts have been called which means approx 2ms has passed.
The protocol for this IR is, with a 38kHz carrier frequency, send 2ms on / 2ms off (a header portion to tell the 'copter a 32 bit command is coming) and next 32 bits of data where a 0 is sent by sending 0.300ms on / 0.300ms off, or a 1 by sending 0.300ms on and 0.600ms off. The 32 bit command is 4 seperate bytes where byte 0 is yaw, byte 1 is pitch, byte 2 is throttle, and byte 3 is trim. Yaw, pitch, and trim should be 0 to 127 where 63 is middle. The throttle is is 0 to 127 where the 7th bit (128) will tell it which channel (A or B). Each bit is send LSb first. In my code I do this by shifting left on the register holding the current byte and checking the carry flag. After each command, there should be a recovery time where the remote stays silent. I avoid this recovery time in the no_fly_zone.asm firmware so I have the possiblity of sending more commands than the remote sends.
The MSP430 assembly source code below can be assembled with my own naken_asm assembler.
This video shows the helicopter responding to the movement of the remote control. As soon as the circuit is powered up, the helicopter's signal is jammed and can no longer fly. https://youtu.be/EgWysh5yhGg
Here's the circuit board.
And here's the schematic...

Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) contract crews plan to shift traffic again on Memorial Boulevard (SR 96) in Murfreesboro. Weather permitting, crews have tentatively scheduled to start work Thursday, March 27 and it could take several days to completely shift traffic.
Thursday March 27 through Tuesday April 1, from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., there will be alternating lane closures on SR 96 eastbound and westbound over the CSX Railroad just west of the intersection to install traffic attenuators and barrier rail. Crews are now preparing to shift traffic to the north side of Memorial Blvd. to soon begin construction on the south side of Memorial Blvd.
This traffic shift is part of the project to completely reconstruct the intersection of Broad St. (SR 1) and Memorial Blvd./Old Fort Parkway (SR 96/SR 10) by creating a single point urban interchange. The project will create a new bridge on Memorial Blvd. that will cross over Broad Street. The $17.6 million project is expected to be completely finished in early summer of 2016.

In the 80s, James L Brooks superseded Coppola as Marks' most frequent collaborator. The editor garnered Oscar nominations for his first two assignments for Brooks, the Academy Award-winning Best Picture "Terms of Endearment" (1983) and "Broadcast News" (1987). Marks consolidated his position as a front rank editor with an associate producer credit on Penny Marshall's directorial debut, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1986)--an acknowledged sign of his importance to the project--and reteamed with Marshall to edit her wildly popular "A League of Their Own" (1992).

"Marmaduke" claimed the title of king of the cabbages Friday night at the 19th annual Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off at the Alaska State Fair. At nearly 118 pounds, it wasn't enough to unseat the world record of 138.25 pounds set in 2012, but the washing-machine-size vegetable grown by Steve Hubacek of Wasilla topped this year's closest competitor by 4 pounds.
The expectations of the crowd in the bleachers at the Farm Exhibits Building were high. Hubacek and Scott Robb of Palmer, the grower of the world-record cabbage known as the "Palmer Pachyderm," had each brought in plants weighing more than 111 pounds when the fair opened. These were for display, not for the Weigh-Off, so many presumed that the growers thought they had bigger offerings for the contest.
But as the cabbages came off the trucks and into the ring, it was evident there'd be no world records this year. Robb said he thought his contest entry, "Gorgeous George," outweighed the 111-pounder, but he couldn't be sure. "I hope I didn't bring in my biggest one last week," he said.

Although most customers like the distinctive pixelated technique, I appreciate it is a question of personal taste. If you didn't feel that the images on the product page made the design clear enough, then I sincerely apologise. I have added more detailed images now and written a longer description in the information panel which I hope makes it very clear. I see that you haven't contacted us previously about your misgivings, so please may I take this opportunity to assure you that we are always happy to offer an exchange or refund on any unpersonalised order as we only want our customers to keep the gifts they love.

Tue 21 Jan 2014 Great Tue 21 Jan 2014 Lovely design and cotton was great quality Sat 18 Jan 2014 Great poduct. Tue 14 Jan 2014 This makes an excellent gift. The shirts are excellent quality and have had several compliments already. Very pleased with them both. Sun 12 Jan 2014 No comment supplied. Mon 06 Jan 2014 The delivery charges were ridiculously high for a light small package that was not delivered any quicker than second class post. Disgusting. Twisted Twee's response: Hello Elayn, The charge for the post of your order was £4.50. This is what we are charged by Royal Mail for a parcel of that weight for 1st class delivery. NOTHS also take off a commission on all our postage costs so we don't make a penny out of any postage. We also provide a free canvas gift bag with every order, which adds to the weight a bit. I see from your order that it was sent out to you the day after you placed it. I don't know how long it look to arrive as there has been no communication from you until now, but I would suspect it may have taken a day or two longer than normal because of the Christmas post. I hope you liked the Oak Tree t shirt set very much and it was enjoyed by the recipients. Best wishes, Suzi x Mon 06 Jan 2014 The baby t-shirt was smaller than expected although the correct age entered on order and also the adult t-shirt was larger than expected. Sizes need to be updated. Twisted Twee's response: Hello Patricia, Suzi here. I am very sorry the sizes you ordered were not a good fit. We have not received any complaints before about sizing so this may have just been bad luck. Please send them back at your earliest convenience and we will be happy to either replace them for you in other sizes or refund you in full. You can always contact us via the CMS if you ever have a concern with sizing or any other matter and we try to make sure we respond within a few hours so you are not left with products that are unusable. The Oak Tree Twinset was a hugely popular gift choice over Christmas and looks really charming on, so if we can kit the nipper and his dad out in the right sizes, I'm sure they would greatly enjoy them. Do please get in touch, very best wishes Suzi x Sun 05 Jan 2014 No comment supplied. Wed 01 Jan 2014 I bought these for my son and fiance fir Chirstmas. They fit really well and are well made. Everyone coments when they wear them as they have not seen anything like them before. Tue 31 Dec 2013 Lovely idea Mon 30 Dec 2013 First delivery, one item was stained. I found the emails in response to mine from Twisted Twee confusing & badly written. Compared with response from yourselves this was disappointing. In the end I sent the item back at my own cost. I have since received a replacement but no offer to recompense me for postage. Twisted Twee's response: I'm sorry your t-shirt had a stain and you did not think we reacted professionally. We sent out a replacement and a SAE within a few hours of you contacting us I'm sorry that this wasn't used and that you feel let down. If there is more we can do to make amends, please let us know. I hope you enjoy the Twinset, Twisted Twee. Wed 25 Dec 2013 My boys looked adorable wearing their tee shirts on Christmas Day. Great design, nice quality, good colour. And fun! Mon 23 Dec 2013 No comment supplied. Sun 22 Dec 2013 Great quality, very original - and was very well received! Thu 19 Dec 2013 Seriously cute! Wed 18 Dec 2013 Good quality t shirts and the icons made it a very personalised present for my son-in-law who works in the timber trade and my grandson. Sat 14 Dec 2013 Lovely quality, I'm giving them as a present so I'm not sure about fit yet but they look like good sizes! Only thing is I don't actually think they need to be sold in the bag, it's quite gaudy and it detracts from the subtlety of the t shirts. Fri 13 Dec 2013 very cute concept, but material on T shirts was slightly thinner thatn expected. Fri 13 Dec 2013 I love the T-shirts and can't wait to give them for Christmas!! Thu 12 Dec 2013 Excellent quality! Tue 10 Dec 2013 Prompt delivery, shirts looked great and felt good quality. Liked the fact they came in a little cotton bag instead of plastic.

Tue 25 Jun 2013 Great quality Tue 25 Jun 2013 Good quality, original idea, overpriced in my opinion. Sun 23 Jun 2013 Nice present Thu 20 Jun 2013 Great items. Gift for my boss and his little girl. He was thrilled. Thu 20 Jun 2013 We loved our previous purchase from this seller, but were a bit disappointed with these. The quality of the cotton is not as good and after the first wash they have both twisted. However, the contact was good and the delivery speedy, so not all bad. Twisted Twee's response: We're ever so sorry you were underwhelmed by the fabric of the Oak Tree and Acorn Twinset. Is is actually the same organic cotton we use for our Pint Twinsets and all other adult garments. The company we use to make our clothing is world renowned for it's environmental and ethical policies and the exceptional quality of it's products. We are very proud to be working with them as they have won a raft of awards for their clothing including Best Organic Textile Product and The Natural Organic Award for the t shirts we use.

Tue 28 Aug 2012 Really cute gift for Daddy & Baby.

Americans' Positive Housing Sentiment Continues Steady Climb, Suggests Solid Footing For Durable Recovery
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Americans continue to show growing confidence in home price increases over the next 12 months, providing further indications of a slow but steady housing recovery, according to results from Fannie Mae's October 2012 National Housing Survey. Taken together with rental price expectations, which surged in October and remain much higher than home price expectations, more consumers may be motivated to purchase a home in the coming months. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121107/PH07568)"This has been a year of steady growth in the percentage of consumers with positive home price expectations," said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist of Fannie Mae. "Increasing household formation, encouraged by an improving labor market, is adding additional momentum to the housing recovery and putting upward pressure on rental price expectations. Expected increases in both owning and renting costs may encourage more consumers to buy and add further strength to the housing recovery already under way." Continuing the positive upward trend seen over the past year, survey respondents expect home prices to increase an average of 1.7 percent in the next 12 months. The share who say home prices will decrease in the next year dropped to 10 percent – 13 percentage points lower than October 2011 and the lowest level since the survey's inception in June 2010. Additionally, the positive difference between those saying home prices will go up and those saying they will go down remained steady at a survey high of 26 percentage points. The percentage who believe mortgage rates will go up climbed 4 percentage points to 37 percent following a steep drop in September. Returning to the July 2012 level, respondents' average rental price expectation jumped by 0.8 percent to 3.9 percent, and 50 percent believe home rental prices will rise in the next year – a 3 percentage point increase over last month and the highest level since the survey began. When asked about the state of the economy, the share of respondents who say it's on the right track dropped to 38 percent, down 3 percentage points from last month. Conversely, those who say the economy is on the wrong track climbed 3 percentage points to 56 percent. The share of consumers who expect their personal financial situation to get better or stay the same over the next year remained essentially level at 43 percent and 40 percent, respectively.

- Castle Rock sets ballot language for open-carry vote
Castle Rock has deemed a protest to a petition referendum on the repeal of the town's open-carry firearm ban to be invalid.
In January, town council voted to allow the open-carry of firearms in town-owned buildings and parks.
Residents in February submitted a petition for a referendum on the change.
The petition was declared valid in March, meaning town council must either repeal the open-carry ordinance or send it to a vote.
On Monday, a protest to the referendum was submitted.
The town clerk determined the protest did not "comply with statutory requirements" and is invalid, the town said in a news release Wednesday.
On Monday at a special town council meeting, members will decide whether to rescind the January change or put the issue to voters later this year.
The April 14 meeting will start at 6 p.m. in town council chambers at town hall, 100 N. Wilcox Street, at which there will be time for public comment.

Additional property tax revenue, funding from other sources may cover $50M deficit
Revised estimated property tax revenue for fiscal year 2013-14
With less than a month to go before Riverside County adopts a preliminary budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, officials believe they have found ways to close a multimillion-dollar gap between revenue and expenses, the county's financial expert said recently.
"I think we are basically ready to make it through next year," said Ed Corser, chief financial officer.
At a Board of Supervisors workshop April 1, department heads outlined individual budget requests for allocations from the county general fund that collectively exceeded projected local tax revenue of $569 million, plus other sources, by $50 million.
In the weeks since, Corser said, administrators have determined that tax revenue should yield $17 million more than thought, or $586 million in fiscal year 2013-14. Corser attributed more than 80 percent of the increase to the first significant rise in property-tax collections in five years.
Property taxes are directly tied to values of homes and other property, and have begun to rebound after being battered by the deep recession.
County revenue streams had been caught up in a seemingly endless downward spiral.
After peaking at $785 mil- lion in fiscal 2006-07, tax collections fell to $772 million in 2007-08, $721 million in 2008-09, $624 million in 2009-10, $592 million in 2010-11 and $578 million in 2011-12, budget documents show.
Besides the fresh expectation of $586 million flowing into county coffers in fiscal 2013-14, Corser said the county has identified $35 million that will be available to the general fund next year only.
"That's money we have cobbled together from a variety of sources, all of which is one-time money," he said in a telephone interview.
Corser said the county intends to scrape $9 million from an account for remodeling the public defender's office in Riverside. After a cost escalation, the amount isn't enough to pay for the project.
"So we're going to debt finance it and use the cash to balance the budget," he said.
Corser said the county also identified $10 million in available health services money and $12 million left over from shutting down redevelopment. He said a "few odds and ends" round out the $35 million.
At the same time, Corser said, the county will have to budget $2 million to $3 million more than expected as a result of a court ruling trimming fees that counties charge for collecting cities' property taxes.
"When we get done with it, we're looking probably, right now, at breaking even," Corser said. "But nothing ever goes according to any plan."
Corser said the plan could be derailed by Sacramento, as lawmakers look for ways to balance the state's budget. That's why the county in recent years has been postponing final budget adoption until September.
Preliminary approval is tentatively set for June 17.
Besides providing time to respond to state actions, the September adoption enables supervisors to see how much money is left in the bank at the end of the previous fiscal year.
Two big question marks remain, Corser said. One is whether the struggling county hospital, the Riverside County Regional Medical Center in Moreno Valley, will be able to pay all its bills. If not, the general fund may have to come to the rescue and loan it money.
"That is not included in any of the numbers we are talking about," he said. "That is a different ballgame."
Corser said another potential obstacle to a balanced budget is jail realignment, which shifted responsibility for low-level state prisoners from Sacramento to counties.
So far, Riverside County has received enough to cover realignment expenses, he said, but that could change.
