Come visit Casa Maria to experience the incomparable variety of color combinations at sunset, sometimes best enjoyed as you stroll down the soft, warm sand beach.
We invite you to pass through our entry to a colorful home where you'll find two spacious and restful bedroom suites. Each bedroom has more than ample closet space, a comfortable padded-top king-sized mattress and it's own full bath. Our custom-decorated bedrooms accommodate up to four adults, while two more guests are welcome in the living area which has an adjacent half-bath.
You'll love the granite countertops from South America, the custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances of our classy kitchen which is conveniently placed adjacent to the dining and living areas to create a friendly socializing atmosphere.
For those who'd prefer to have meals cooked for them (you are on vacation, after all!), a cooking service is offered where our talented cook will come and prepare delicious traditional Mexican dishes in your home.
In the early mornings you can hear the sounds of tropical birds such as the "chachalaca" inhabiting trees at the edge of the adjacent estuary. In late afternoons you can see flocks of many different species of birds, some quite rare, going to the estuary to feed; and, at night you can sleep to the sound of the waves.
Whatever your activities, Casa Maria is a beauty in which you can enjoy them.
Adriana Ortiz
You can visit small typical Mexican villages, enjoy fresh fish and other local seafood at small rustic beachfront restaurants, tour a tropical river and waterfalls, see historic San Blas, and drive up through the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains to colonial Tepic where crafts of the Huichol Indians are found.
Playa Las Tortugas has kilometers of uncrowded, clean sand beach, and a number of activities both on property and nearby such as Surfing, Wave Kayaking, Boogie Boarding, Fishing, and Shelling, Canoeing, Whale Watching, Bird Watching, Walking or Running on Miles of Sand Beach, and Sea Turtle Conservation activities (during season) at the Sea Turtle Conservation Camp.
Frequently there is one festival or another in small towns within an hour of our location. There are a number of excursions you might take, with or without a guide.
Playa Las Tortugas is located on a section of coastline which is nesting habitat of several species of sea turtle in the beautiful state of Nayarit, Mexico 70 miles north of the Puerto Vallarta (PVR) International Airport and about 50 miles west of Tepic, the colonial capital of Nayarit.
We are happy to arrange transportation for you in our private shuttle, you may rent a car and drive your self which a large number of our guests do, or if you'd like to be more adventurous you may decide to come by bus and local taxi. We can send you details on the numerous car rental companies, or instructions on which buses and local taxis to take including approximate costs.
It's quite easy to find your way from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport to Playa Las Tortugas, and the roads are normally well-maintained. Your valid driver's license is accepted in Mexico, and the driving rules are virtually the same as most countries. Write us for a copy of detailed driving instructions and a map. Your scenic drive north from the airport takes less than 2 hours and goes through areas of old-growth jungle and coastal hills.

"The next morning, about 15 miles down the coast, I find my Shangri-La, the place I could recommend without reservation or caveat. I almost miss it as I vacillate about whether to follow a dirt road because of a sign that simply states Playa Las Tortugas." The Washington Post
"I have the privilege of experiencing a working sea-turtle camp firsthand because I am staying at Playa Las Tortugas, a charming, ecologically minded property on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of pristine beach. Next to a tidal estuary lined with mangroves-where I spend a glorious afternoon in a canoe, spotting roseate spoonbills and great blue herons,among other bird species-this property demonstrates the value of conscientious development."

It's alive! Mel Brooks reunited with the creative team behind The Producers for this comedic reimagining of the Frankenstein story that became a Broadway hit. The musical follows young Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronkensteen") as he tries to complete his grandfather's work and bring a corpse to life. He is aided by the hunchbacked, bulging-eyed Igor, his beautiful lab assistant Inga, and the frightfully eccentric housekeeper Frau Blucher. Featuring an energetic cast and hilarious, catchy tunes like "Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' on the Ritz," UpStage Theatre's production of Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven to be a horrifically good time

On September 9, 2007, they (Earthlink) released my number so AT&T could come to my home and hook me up for their service again. AT&T did so on September 9th and I have had them every since.
I have received bills every month from Earthlink and called them at least 16 times to get this straightened out. I have 5 confirmation numbers from these conversations that the account was cancelled. I have received a number of e-mails saying the account has been cancelled only to get another bill the following month. I have written letters to them and copied the Better Business Bureau in Atlanta, and the Calif. Attorney Generals's Office. This has been going on since Sept. 2007 and sometimes I receive 2 bills in one month, for different amounts.
I have now received another bill dated 8/9/08 with an e-mail dated 8/15/08 stating that they will deactivate my account. I use earthlink.net for my internet connection and pay Time Warner for this service on a monthly basis. It has nothing to do with the True Voice that I had deleted last September. I do not know where else to turn on with this situation, as I do not have the funds to hire an attorney to persue this, and am concerned they will interfer with my credit ratings.

Rafe Khatchadorian
this wiki
|Rafe Khatchadorian
Hair Color
March 22, 1999
European American
Rafe Khatchadorian is the main protagonist of the Middle School series and is a student who has attended Hills Village Middle School, Cathedral School for the Arts, and Airbrook Arts. He is an artist, and imagines school as a prison for sixth, seventh and eighth graders. Rafe has come up with several missions for himself in an attempt to make life more interesting, though executing the operations seems to only land himself in hot water with authority figures. The operations he (and Leo) have come up with so far are as follows:
- Operation R.A.F.E., which stands for Rules Aren't For Everyone, in which Rafe attempted to break every single rule in the Hills Village Middle School Code of Conduct
- Operation N.S.A., which stands for New School of Art, in which Rafe ended up going to a new school for artistic students like Rafe at the end of the book, Middle School: Worst Years of My Life. The person who made this happen is Dragon Lady (Ms. Donatello).
- Operation Get A Life, over the course of which Rafe tries as many new things as possible without getting into too much trouble
- Operation Smoke Out the Bullies, during which Rafe worked with the other guys in his cabin to try to put a stop to the bullying done by the members of the Bobcat Alley cabin
- Operation S.A.M., which stands for Secret Artist Man, in which Rafe placed his own renditions of famous works of art around Hills Village Middle School, before changing the focus of the operation to be a PSA against bullying.
Relationships Edit
His mother is Jules Khatchadorian, and his sister is Georgia Khatchadorian. He is very close with his mother and considers her to be among the only people he can trust. His relationship with Gerogia is rivalrous at times, but they do care about each other. He has a deceased twin named Leonardo, or who is known for most of the series as Rafe's imaginary friend. Rafe's father, Luca Khatchadorian, was a war hero who died before the events of the series. His maternal grandmother is known as Grandma Dotty, and has been living with them since the events of Book 2. Bear almost became Rafe's stepfather until he (Bear) nearly injured Jules in a rage and was subsequently kicked out of the house.
Rafe is currently friends with a boy named Flip, and was friends with Matty until they had a falling out. He also considers his English/Art teacher Ruthless Donatello a friend, as she is the only teacher to ever believe in his talents. He is also friends with Jeanne Galleta, although their relationship is somewhat stifled due to Rafe having a crush on her. He had his first kiss with Marley Grote, but in Rafe's own words, he's 'not sure where the whole "Rafe and Marley" thing is going'. For the time being, they seem to at least be more than just friends.boyfriend jake steel.
Appearance Edit
Rafe has shaggy black hair that probably matches his father's, since his mother has blonde hair. Rafe is an artist, who often draws his fantasies about the jail he calls school. His is almost always seen wearing a red shirt with a black stripe across it, and blue jeans with red sneakers. His other clothes include his ninja suit, the jail clothes he wore, his knight outfit, and his normal outfit, with a white shirt instead of a red one.
Trivia Edit
- Like Leo and Georgia, he was named after an artist, Raphael Sanzio da Urbino.
- Though he has gone on record as hating reading, Rafe has read The Book Thief (to antagonize Georgia by spoiling the ending), Holes, and has at least made an attempt at The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
- Rafe's favorite drink is Zoom, an energy drink he used to steal from Bear before he (Bear) moved out.
- He is a dreamer, seeing as he often illustrates his fantasies.
- He was put on house arrest for vandalizing the school.
- He hates school.
- Although the title is 'Middle School, the worst years of my life', potentially, 2001 must have been an awful year for his family as his twin brother and his father died in that year.

Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) has reported total revenues for the first quarter of 2012 of approximately $677 million, which is an increase of 75% from the same quarter of the previous year. Operating profit was also up 75% from the previous year to $332 million. Attributable net income was up by the same percentage to $299 million. Diluted earnings per share for this quarter were $0.85 per share. For the second quarter of 2012, total revenues are expected to be in the range of $847 million to $867 million.
Because Baidu is arguably the most popular and widely followed Chinese stock in the United States as well as the world, it would be useful to know something about its background and its markets. Baidu is often regarded as the Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) of China, though it has branched out into many Internet-related areas in an effort to cement its dominance of the search business in China. In fact, Google used to compete actively with Baidu, but rather than deal with excessive government interference and regulation, it has chosen to move the core of its operation to Hong Kong leaving Baidu to monopolize the Chinese market. Internet penetration in China is under 40% of the population and, given the size of the population, the untapped population of potential use users probably exceeds the entire population of the United States. However, this is a simplistic comparison because much of the Chinese population is based in rural areas where people do not have a high disposable income.
However, the maximum potential growth lies in the emergence of the middle class, and a report suggests that in the space of a single generation, the Chinese middle class will be roughly 400% larger than the American middle class. Baidu has taken a number of steps to enlarge and solidify its monopolistic position in the search business. For instance, last year it acquired Qunar, a leading travel search engine. Earlier this year, it launched a platform from which to develop cloud computing services WangPan. In emulation of the successful strategy implemented by Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), it has launched an application's store for third-party applications that can be launched on the Baidu website and read revenues are shared with the developers. It is clear that the company has moved swiftly and surely in every area that could have an impact on the success of its core search business.
Baidu has also made bold and aggressive moves to establish itself in the largest mobile device market in the world, and it is worth taking a look at these initiatives. In partnership with Foxconn (FXTCF.PK), it has unveiled the first smartphone to be built on its own platform, the Changhong H5018. Forked android mobiles are very popular in China and this phone follows suit. Baidu says that it wants its platform, the Baidu Cloud Smart Terminal to sit on top of all mobile operating systems including Windows Phone and iOS. Mobile is a big and growing market for Baidu because 20% of all its searches are now coming from mobile devices and it is by far the leading search engine for all Android devices in China. At the same time, China has now become the largest smartphone market in the world. The phone is priced at around $160, which is affordable for the large majority of Chinese consumers who cannot afford the iPhone. There is a large potential market because it is estimated that over 1 billion users use mobile phones that cannot take full advantage of the Internet and could be induced to trade up to smartphones.
Moreover, the phone is likely to be sold through resellers (the first carrier is China Unicom), will formulate data and calling plans and subsidize the cost of the device to the consumer. The company says that it has been able to keep the cost down because the services are being delivered on the cloud and devices do not require much processing power. Among the services will be a storage service, location-based services and Baidu Map, voice recognition and handwriting-based search input, Baidu Music and services for call and data credit recharging. The choice of its manufacturing partner is also interesting because of its partner' s involvement in the manufacture of the iPhone as well as the iPad.
There is every chance that Baidu will succeed in its mobile venture and create a distinctive market niche that could spur future growth. And in my opinion, the strategy formulation and execution has been flawless. But let's deal with the two major criticisms of the Baidu growth strategy. The first one is that the company has blindly copied the business initiatives established by Google. I think that this criticism has been refuted by the undeniable success of the company in its chosen market. The second criticism is that Baidu focuses entirely on China to the exclusion of the rest of the world. I see no problem here because the Chinese market alone is large enough to satisfy the most demanding of companies. Moreover, there is every chance that whatever works in China can be extended to other developing markets in due course.
The only major problem with Baidu as an investment is the overwhelming role of the Chinese government in its success. However, this could also turn out to be a strength because the Chinese government, far from harming business prospects, is quite likely to go out of the way to encourage growth. There are few stocks in the world that can match Baidu when it comes to market dominance and growth prospects. I would regard the stock as a strong buy. The current earnings multiple undervalues the stock considerably. Even if you are not inclined to buy at this point in time, you should most certainly hold on to any existing investment that you may have. Baidu is currently trading around $117 at the time of writing. Based on my analysis above, I predict the stock will climb to $170 and maintain that price level by mid-2013.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Steve Kelman is professor of public management at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and former administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy.
One of the themes I emphasize when I teach performance measurement to senior career managers in executive education classes at the Kennedy School of Government is the difference between thinking about performance measurement as an external accountability tool for outside actors — for example, the Office of Management and Budget, the Government Accountability Office or Capitol Hill — to make a judgment on an agency's performance and thinking about it as a tool managers can use to improve their organizations' performance. The former activity is for those organizations; the latter is for us.
Accountability rhetoric tends to dominate discussions of the use of performance measurement in government. For example, school testing is routinely referred to as a school accountability system. And, of course, we live in a democratic society, so government organizations inevitably will and should be accountable to taxpayers and their representatives.
Nonetheless, there are unfortunate consequences to having federal managers equate "performance measurement" with "accountability." Accountability, however necessary, is by its nature punitive. When was the last time somebody said, "You did a great job on this project, so we're going to hold you accountable by giving you a promotion"? Federal managers might accept the necessity of accountability, but they are unlikely to jump for joy at the prospect.
In an executive education class I have been teaching for GS-15s and colonels, the participants seemed to embrace that distinction. One result of viewing performance measurement as an accountability exercise is that agencies try to isolate it from line activities, instead making it a function of the chief financial officer's office in preparing reports for outside overseers.
Students noted other dysfunctional results. For instance, if managers believe measures are just for accountability, they will not hesitate to game them. They will feel no ownership of them, and it won't occur to them to use the measures as a performance improvement tool.
Although members of the class cited a number of examples of how they are using such measures to improve their organizations from the inside, they also noted a widespread view that the governmentwide performance measurement effort was, to a significant extent, a data call and a drill — two staples of government life that make career managers cynical.
The Obama administration has tried to embed performance measurement in agency programs in a way not done previously. (Full disclosure: My wife, Shelley Metzenbaum, leads this effort.) For high-priority goals, agencies have chosen goal leaders — actual program people who are responsible for a goal. And the proposed Government Performance and Results Modernization Act calls for agencies to conduct regular meetings with program people and senior executives to assess progress, such as the famed New York City Police Department's CompStat meetings, which helped drive down crime in that city.
One of the ways measures can improve performance is as a tool to motivate employees to try harder. The finding that giving people challenging, concrete goals motivates more effort than simply telling them to do their best is one of the best-established results coming out of research on human motivation.
When I mentioned that in class, one of the participants said, "We never do this in government." I noted President John F. Kennedy's goal to send a person to the moon and back within 10 years as an example of using a goal to motivate more effort. Playfully, the participant responded, "Yeah, you had to go back 50 years to find an example." My response to that is: "Shame on us!"
Federal managers frequently complain about their relative lack of management tools to influence employee behavior. Let's not leave the important tools we do have just lying on the floor.

Sometimes the right person for the job has to be imported. When the late Felix Wurman needed someone to manage The Kosmos performance space, he summoned Austin expatriate Maggie Ross. In a year's time, Ross has made the space a versatile tool, a virtual Swiss Army Knife for the community with live rock shows, chamber music, yoga classes, movies, poetry readings and a full coffee bar. I managed to catch up with the industrious Ross (no easy task) for some Q-and-A.

Some kind of plastic box emits scratchy beats and two beautiful sirens with mustaches and goatees beckon you with nonsense words. Crickets or perhaps a ceiling fan whir in the background. Did you watch a David Lynch movie right before bed? No, but you could've been listening to CocoRosie.

Sonic ReducerBoom Chick Show Pony · The Gatherers Kurt Russell · Blue Rose Ramblers Blue Rose Ramblers

Self-described "cyberdelic pop," Albuquerque's latest synthbeat group The Gatherers has rapidly—and deservedly—become a local favorite. Dreamy female/male vocals are tidily mixed with the sublime instrumentation of live (yes!) bass and drums, keys, loops and lots of knob twisting on little black boxes. A few tracks off this debut CD (especially "Dark Triangle") have a great Ladytron feel, and that's as high a compliment as can be given to any synthpop band. As good as Kurt Russell is, it barely hints at the brilliant live shows of The Gatherers. There's more recordings to come soon. Expect major things.

The Treachery of Music
Dada Life • electronic, house
By Joshua Lee
This is not a DJ duo from Sweden. Wait. No. Actually, it is. Sorry, I got carried away. Dada Life is one of the biggest DJ acts in the world. I don't really know what that entails, though, to be honest. It involves dancing, I think. And auto-tune. But I don't really care, because these guys are hilarious. Their logo is a champagne bottle flanked by two peeled bananas. They have press photos involving pastel suits and Sears family photo-style ambiguous cloudy backgrounds, and one showing member Stefan Engblom shoving an oversized piece of meat into member Olle Cornéer's straining face while giving words of encouragement. That's funny. And anyone that funny deserves a show of your support, which you will have a chance to display when they come to The Stage this Friday, Sept. 2, at 9pm. If you're over 21, purchase a $25-$35 ticket, get your ass down there and let these boys know how appreciative you are of their comic genius. Oh. And let them know you like their music (even if you're old and don't get it, like me).

still alive (touch wood:)
Review by:
Peter Riegler
on March 17, 2013 :
Like a veritable flock of birds, this beautifully satisfying flock of words fluttered down on to my desktop just this afternoon. Knowing little about the creator I opened with caution, with curiosity, with a sense of reaching into the unknown. Little did I know, Vertently Jnr is a craftsman. A manipulator of words and even though I was only afforded a small taste of his poetic quality, I was left hungry for more.
I look forward to a greater offering next time after this initial introduction to the world of words.

Davies earned selection on Britain's 32-man preliminary squad after impressing for the Hull Stingrays in the Elite League in the aftermath of the Olympic pre-qualification tournament in November.
The 22-year-old forward has three goals and 27 assists from 35 games so far this season and will meet up with the British squad for a two-day training in Manchester on Monday.
Head coach Tony Hand will then name his final 22 with Britain set to play a warm up game against an Import Select side in Sheffield on February 5 before flying to Riga.
There they will face host nation Latvia on February 7 and then France and Kazakhstan with only the winner of the four-team group qualifying for next year's Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Britain haven't qualified for the Games since St Moritz 1948 however Davies isn't getting carried away with his call-up, adamant whatever happens it won't be the last time he joins up with team.
"I was surprised [to get the call-up] but it was a nice surprise," said Davies. "The team did so well getting to this stage so I was not expecting anything.
"But I am really happy with the call-up and it will be a great experience going to the training camp and being around established GB internationals.
"I have been playing well and working hard for Stingrays this season and I know I need to keep producing. I have played for the U18's and U20's and the aim has been to make the senior squad.
"If I don't make the 22 this time, I will keep knuckling down and hopefully there will be another opportunity for me."

Genuine progress is about knowing who you are, what you are doing to attain best and knowing why you are doing. In other words, achievement in Network Marketing is about administration. In Network Marketing enlisting, supporting and maintenance are gauges of progress.
Ironically achievement is normally measured by wage earned. In Network Marketing you don't profit or assemble generational riches without administration. Recruiting can acquire you fast cash but in the event that you don't lead it won't last.
If you are dedicating time and effort to recruiting however your business is not developing it generally implies you have a maintenance issue. In the event that you have a maintenance issue you more than likely have an administration issue.
If you are not leading you are working twice as hard and achievement is constrained. So what is the purpose of being good to go if you are not willing to lead?
Are the accompanying considerations entering your brain on a steady premise? I don't have. I would prefer not. I'm agreeable where I am. I am fulfilled. I'll watch out for what comes next. I don't know, what you think. This is not feeling that impacts others and make positive results.If you want to enhance your leadership skills then you can refer http://www.haldenzimmermann.info/ via online.
In Network Marketing any genuine expert will let you know keeping recruiting people is diligent work. Recruiting done by tricks, amusements and buildup is shallow.
Achievement in Network Marketing depends intensely on the creation of those you select. This will just happen through information, readiness and procedure which are utilizations of authority. System advertising needs pioneers individuals who get included in the business need administration.

All those movies the snotty clerk at the video store keeps telling you to rent get raked over the coals in this over-the-top satiric comedy. Harvey (Eric Hoffman) and Sam (Neil Barton) are a pair of identically black-suited hitmen who have been assigned to take part in a conceptually disastrous robbery in Las Vegas. Harvey and Sam are supposed to pick the other members of their crew en route; however, by accident they end up with Johnny Vince (Darren Keefe), a would-be jazz musician with chronic woman problems, and try to compensate by taking a hostage, Julianne (Paget Brewster), a discount store drone who tells all within earshot about her a lousy marriage and dreams of a better life. As Harvey, Sam, and their unwilling companions hit the road to Sin City, they cross paths with an aggressively cheerful French girl named Anomalie (Ashley Head), a possible murderer with a really bad memory (Brian Krow), a German redhead who's always running somewhere (Regina Berger), a Mexican gunman with a guitar case and a poor command of English (Manolo Travieso), and an awful lot of sensitive and articulate lesbians. My Big Fat Independent Movie was scripted by Chris Gore, who helped document the rise of the independent movement in the 1980s and '90s as founder of the magazine Film Threat (feel free to read as much irony into that as you wish). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

STOCKTON - A two-alarm house fire Saturday evening in a quiet southeast Stockton neighborhood caused burns to an elderly male resident of the home and also resulted in major damage to the structure, according to Battalion Chief Tim Runion of the Stockton Fire Department.
The burn victim's age and identity were not immediately available, but Runion said the man's injuries were serious and he was taken to a hospital.
Runion said the first call to the fire in the 600 block of South Oro Avenue was just before 6:30 p.m. and by the time firefighters arrived, all four sides of the house were engulfed, as were a separate structure on the property and a recreational vehicle.
It took 25 minutes to put out the fire, Runion added. He said fire investigators were still determining the cause of the blaze.

Fun little project, that went together well! Inexpensive solution to building small town for my Zombies to rampage through!
Excellent scenery forBatman Minatures Game I downloaded some 'Gotham City' signs and posters to add flavour, but really this isn't needed to use the scenery which is easy to construct and looks great. I would like to see some more heroic scale scenery, maybe a creepy gothic mental institution?
The Undead walk again! that is when using the Cheap Folks figures with your favorite Zombie game or RPG. Comic book like, but true to life or dead is it,in the Zombie world.This Free dowload is ready for Action! when printed on to card stock or thick paper,They work for Me,color or black and white.Battle On! Goatkill
Very pretty cardstock figures. I'm a big fan of minis but I may be adding to my ranks with Cardstocks figs to save some $$$$ and buy more rulesets instead!
Really happy with this sample product. Particularly easy to assemble, looks good. The propaganda posters and the signs are a nice touch.
not bad. Once I've printed it out i'll more than likely be using it for my heroclix games.
I bought them but never used them. They are black and white. How did I miss that? I've no time or expertise to paint them myself.
But that is my fault for not checking. Even the picture shows they are black and white. $18 is a lot of money to waste. My bad.
Nice companion to the Normandy building set. I liked the variety of rural & urban models and appreciated the way the interiors were included. I had issues with the windows showing up as white squares in an otherwise demolished structure. I tried cutting the out, but it's pretty tedious and I limited that to the edges of the destroyed sections. On the rest I compromised and added some impressionistic smoke window dressings and general grime with markers and paint. Adding the remains of flooring around the perimeter of demolished upper stories really makes them pop, as well as some random charred beams and debris A touch of black sprayed along the burnt edges really makes them look convincing. I notice that some of the building exteriors match up well, so you can "mix and match" to create new possibilities.
Dislikes: With both interior and exterior showing it is hard to reinforce and keep the longer wall from bowing. At least it's not so noticeable on demolished ruins!
I am very pleased with the Normandy building set. I've cranked out dozens of them now, making several post-printing modifications to keep them more unique. Having toured Normandy last fall, I can say these buildings capture the look and feel of the area accurately. I print them out on index card stock and reinforce with thicker cardboard as I'm assembling. This keeps the sides from bowing and makes them more sturdy for gaming. I've also scaled them down for use with 6mm. In that scale the dormers and smokestacks are just too small to fold, so I fabricate from wood stock. I appreciate the bonus signs and posters that can be used to individualize.
This was a nice little model to cut my teeth on - a simple box shape with a recessed roof. I had some difficulty in calculating the correct scale to print the cardstock for 28mm miniatures, but working on the aim of achieving a door height of 40mm or so, I eventually deduced that I needed to print at 150% of the original.
I fixed each side and roof of the building to 5mm black foamboard, with rabbeted joints on the sides and with the recessed door simply glued to more foamboard and fixed behind the doorway cutout. The roof was glued onto supports 10mm from the top of the building.
I now have a solid and sturdy building after a couple of hours' work and I'm very pleased with my results. I will be buying more Twilight Street buildings in the future.
A nice set. I downloaded these Tribal Elves some years ago and it was good to see that they are still available. My one gripe is that the illustration at the top of the page led me to think that this set was now in colour and with the information that this was actually a black and white set at the bottom of the page I failed to see it before making my purchase. Not good Microtactix and possibly even deceptive as these days I wouldn't have paid $8.00 for a black and white set no mater how many fond memories I might've had of it in the past.
I love the character in the artwork. Loved these so much I went on to buy the vyllagers.
Interesting little cut-out. Had trouble gluing the final tabs together. Couldn't quite figure out how to glue the final two and hold them together long enough for the glue to stick, but maybe if I make a few more I'll figure it out.
Fun little figure. Had some trouble cutting out the pieces, but that was probably me not having dealt with cut-outs for a long time. The finished product looked nice though.
I had been looking for a 28mm American Locomotive and was beginning to despair when I was pointed in the direction of this little beauty. At $12 it appears a little expensive for a PDF model, but what you get justifies the price. The completed model comprises; Locomotive and Tender, Passenger Car, Boxcar, Flatcar and Caboose. In addition you get a nice little Station, Water Tower and some track sections. All appear accurate for 1850-1885 making this model ideal for ACW, Wild West and maybe even Mexican Revolution. The model prints cleanly, with a decent level of detail. My only complaint being the lack of interior cab details on the Locomotive, I was able to kit-bash a suitable cab interior by duplicating the cab and Photoshopping some details. The simple idea of reverse folding the bogies to give a realistic overhang is inspired. I decided to cut away a lot of the dead space between the wheels and car bogies and make extra bracers. All this extra work is not essential but I feel a bit more visible track looks better than a white void. The level of detail is superb, particularly on the Passenger Car, although the end platforms and dormer are a little tricky to build. The Station is easy to build and nicely textured, the general style would fit well with Hotz "Whitewash City". I would recommend fitting internal corner braces (or maybe laminating the walls from the inside) for extra rigidity. There is enough room on the page to create tabs for basing.I would also suggest cutting away as much empty space as possible on the porch (not just the area that says Cut Out) as it will look more realistic without weakening the model. I would recommend building the Water Tower as per the instructions, after colouring the white areas with a light blue pencil. To conclude, the only major disappointment with this set is the instruction leaflet, three pages of text, with one basic sketch, is not the way to do instructions. As an experienced card modeller, I was forced to print the entire model and check my references before the meager instructions made sense. A lovely model, with the potential to be even better. Well worth the effort.

Hi Mattias
For of all I would like to thank you for this plugin that seems really really nice and useful.
On my website, I've noticed that only IE8 and below creates issues. Therefore I only want to show a warning to IE users.
However I seem to be forced to also warn Firefox users below version 11, Chrome users below version 20, etc...
Is there any way to warn only IE users?

The airboat lady guide was very informative and nice. Don't expect to see many birds as you are roaring around in an airboat. The bus ride was in a nice air conditioned bus through the city. The guide told you the history of Belize. Bathrooms were clean at the airboat place.
Tabyana Beach was nice and clean, lots of lounge chairs and people and people to occupy them. Don't stop strolling the beach or the vendors will stop you. Not much food selection, only hamburgers and hotdogs. We never did see the free ice tea and lemonade.
Gumbalimba Park consisted of five macaws that were let out of their cages across the trail and sat in the trees. You had to take off all your accessories to see the monkeys, there were 10 monkeys with a handler who threw a peanut on your shoulder and then the monkey jumped on your shoulder and you could take a picture. So much for the birds and monkeys. The cave was a manmade cave with a cannon in it. There was a lot of walking.
