What is in this article?:
- If leaves are falling prematurely in late summer or early fall, chances are it is due to two diseases, scab and rust.
- Foliar diseases are becoming more problematic in California almond orchards.
- If scab has evolved into a serious problem, a delayed dormant application of copper and oil is now recommended.
Spray timing
"I hate to be a nozzle head and tell growers to spray, but it will do an effective job in cleaning up an orchard to reduce pathogen populations in the long run," he said.
This delayed spray is effective in reducing and delaying sporulation of scab twig lesions. It should be used in combination with properly timed bloom and petal fall sprays. Doll said orchards with significant scab outbreaks in 2010 that followed the above recommendations had obvious suppression of the disease in 2011, and were able to keep the leaves on the trees until late November.
This delayed dormant period is just when the buds begin to swell, about two weeks before a grower sees bloom, Doll explained.
A spring fungicide spray to control scab should be made between two to five weeks after petal fall.
Orchards with a history of rust should be treated with a fungicide five weeks after petal fall.
With spray timing so close for both scab and rust, many growers try to catch both with one spray.
"If you try to split the difference between the spray timing for scab and the timing for rust, you will usually miss (timing) for both," Doll told growers and PCAs at the Fresno field meeting. He recommends scab treatments more toward the two week side of the window.
"A spray for rust five weeks after petal fall can be very effective," he said. Even better he said, if a grower treats for rust with an early May treatment followed by an early June treatment, "I would be shocked if they have a rust problem."
Another rust control strategy is to apply zinc sulfate (20-40 pounds per acre) in late October/early November. This should be made to help reduce overwintering populations of rust. The zinc will hasten leaf fall, and prevent the rust inoculum from increasing. In orchards of severe infestation, applying a low rate of nitrogen to the surface leaf debris will help speed up the natural degradation of the leaves.

Asymetric growth and inflation developments in the acceding countries: a new assessment
In this paper, we use a SVAR model in order to study the asymmetry of growth and inflation developments in the acceding countries vis-à-vis the euro area over the years 1995-2003. The model combines two strands of the literature, the explanation in terms of country-specific and euro area shocks, and a further split between supply and demand shocks. The four structural shocks may all create asymmetries vis-à-vis the euro area. It appears that country-specific shocks are the main source of growth or inflation divergence, rather than the distinct way in which acceding countries react to euro area shocks. But whereas country-specific supply shocks are mainly responsible for growth divergence, country-specific demand shocks are mainly responsible for inflation asymmetry. Hence, a low asymmetry in terms of growth does not necessarily imply a low asymmetry in terms of inflation, although the latter is particularly important for countries aiming to join the euro area. There is some evidence that both asymmetries were on the fall over the last years of the sample.

Polk OWM3
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I am using the OWM3's for side surround speakers in a 7.1 system with the Marantz SR 5011. Sound is good as the side surrounds do not need to deliver big sound pressure levels but clear mids and highs. Definitely a good choice for this application.
Pros: Easy to set up. Very good positioning options with the various wall hanging applications.
Cons: May be a little limited due to driver size but a great option as a surround speaker.

Mandrake 8.0
Manufacturer: MandrakeSoft
E-mail: email@example.com
Price: $69 US (plus $20 for shipping)
Reviewer: Choong Ng
Linux Mandrake 8.0 is the latest release from MandrakeSoft. Released on-line on April 19, 2001, Mandrake 8.0 adds kernel 2.4.3, XFree86 4.0.3, KDE 2.1.1, GCC 2.96 and miscellaneous other upgrades to 7.2 (the previous release). Mandrake is advertised primarily as a workstation and desktop-oriented distribution, so I will be evaluating it with these applications in mind. Supremely important in a desktop distribution are ease of setup, ease of configuration, ease of operation, quality of the software bundle and ease of installing new software; I will focus primarily on these criteria. My test machine for this review is a PIII 560 with 384MB of RAM, a 6GB hard disk and a Matrox G400.
Mandrake 8.0 comes on two (download edition) or four (retail version) CD-ROMs; the first two of which will be necessary for most installations. As with nearly all modern distributions, loading the first CD and rebooting is all that is necessary to start the installation. Mandrake 8.0's graphical installer closely resembles the installer used in the 7.x releases and is really about as user-friendly as an OS installer should be. Once the installer loads, it prompts the user for information such as how the computer will be used and what broad categories of packages to install. Many of the decisions that users new to computers or new to Linux (e.g., converting from Windows, more about this below) won't necessarily know how to answer, such as sizing and placement of partitions, are handled by the installer's defaults. As with the 7.x releases, you can go back to any previous part of the install by clicking on the button next to the appropriate step on the left side of the screen. Even X configuration—the area where I most often run into trouble—went without a hitch. This appears to be at least in part due to the move to XFree86 4.0.3, a significant improvement despite lacking solid support for certain graphics chipsets (notably several by Chips and Technologies common in older notebooks). One option to pay special attention to is the option to log on a user at boot automatically. Once you have answered all of the configuration questions, the installer will install and configure the requested packages, meanwhile displaying annoying "hints" à la the Windows 98 installer. The install took a little less than 15 minutes from the first reboot (to start from the installation CD) to a KDE user desktop.
If you get the retail version of Mandrake 8.0 (this is discussed later), the startup process is completely graphical. The boot-loader menu is a text list with an abstract design in the background, and the Linux startup process with its status icons resembles a Mac OS boot more than anything else. While most Linux Journal readers likely will disable this feature in favor of actually seeing what's going on during the boot process, I can see it being highly beneficial to users who wouldn't know UNIX from eunuchs and think bash is a verb. When the desktop finally loads (startup could take a minute or two on slower hardware) the user is presented with a very Windows-esque interface. Good or bad, that's what it is (see the next section). At first examination this represents a fairly well set up desktop, with icons for documentation, connection to the Internet, etc., right on the desktop and the most useful applications and utilities already in the KDE menu.
Mandrake 8.0 is definitely a step forward in terms of desktop usability. Between the KDE 2 desktop and the pre-installed productivity applications, MandrakeSoft has managed to put together a very usable desktop environment suitable for many users' needs. The default install by no means caters to the advanced user or the server market; unlike the 7.x series of releases, Mandrake 8.0 doesn't include any alternative window managers nor does it install (by default) many popular services such as SSH and NFS. This is clearly a very desktop-oriented distro. While Mandrake doesn't really add much to the functionality of user applications—KDE 2 and bundled applications take care of most of that—it does bring a marked improvement to system configuration. The graphical configuration utilities included (Mandrake Control Center, User Manager, etc.) are a distinct improvement over the utilities included with most other distros including previous releases of Mandrake. Where users once had to guess at cryptic names not obvious without documentation, now there are obvious names and easy-to-operate utilities like Mandrake Control Center to ease the process. This is definitely a step forward.
That said, there are still significant problems. First and foremost for desktop users is the presence of GNOME and other non-KDE applications in a (by default) KDE environment. While this isn't a problem on its own, the fact that the GTK toolkit produces a significantly different look and a new set of widgets makes for a less consistent interface. For new users this shouldn't present much of a problem (you can just train them on both) nor should it present much of a problem for many Windows users (many Windows applications have bizarre nonstandard interfaces), but it may be an issue if you are a migrating Mac OS user who is used to software written by highly interface-conscious developers sporting carefully designed interfaces and consistent UI elements throughout. This too can be worked through, nonetheless it is something to be planned for if migrating users from one of these platforms.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Sacramento Kings forward Omri Casspi has established himself as one of the NBA's most outstanding rookies.
Earlier this week, Casspi, the first Israeli to play in the NBA, scored a personal record 18 points as the Kings beat the New Jersey Nets 109-96. The Kings had been expected to be one of the worst teams in the NBA but Casspi's good form helped them end November with a respectable eight wins from 16 games.
The NBA's first female head coach spoke this week of how Muhammad Ali inspired her to reach the top.
Nancy Lieberman, 51, the first woman to play pro basketball with men, has been placed in charge of Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Development League.
Speaking exclusively from her home in Plano,Texas, she said she saw the world heavyweight champ on TV when she was nine.
Nancy Lieberman has become the first female head coach of an NBA basketball team.
The first women to play pro basketball with men, Lieberman has taken charge of the Dallas Mavericks' affiliate in the NBA Development League, which will tip off next November.
Lieberman said: "I feel like I'm the right person for the job. "I know how these guys feel. I played in the minor leagues. I'm ultimately connected to that part of development in a player's life."
Omri Casspi tasted victory for the first time in the NBA earlier this week as the Sacramento Kings beat Memphis Grizzlies 127-116 in extra time.
The rookie forward scored 15 points and was also complimented by Kings coach Paul Westphal for his strong defensive play.
The former Maccabi Tel Aviv player was not in the starting five but spent 30 minutes on the court and scored crucial points.
Last week Casspi, 21, became the first Israeli to play in the NBA, also scoring 15 points on the opening day of the season in the 102-89 defeat to Oklahoma.
A suicide that was seen last Monday simply as a personal and family tragedy has swiftly developed into a storm engulfing not only Israel's most successful basketball team, but the entire sporting establishment.
Israel capped A disappointing EuroBasket campaign with a third straight defeat, going down 106-80 defeat to Greece in Poznan, Poland. This followed losses against Croatia and Macedonia.
The Greece result completed a disastrous three days in Poland and means that for the first time in 25 European Championship appearances, it has finished a tournament without a victory.
"I knew this would be a difficult championship, but I expected us to play better," said coach Tzvika Sherf. "We should have beaten both Croatia and Macedonia, but we failed when it mattered most."
Israel were runners-up at the Game On quadrangular tournament at the 02.
They were beaten 85-69 by eventual winners Turkey in their opening fixture but improved as the competition wore on, beating Poland 86-72 and whipping boys Great Britain 79-69.
The competition was a warm-up for the forthcoming Eurobasket.
Omri Casspi has explained why he is putting club before country after ruling himself out for Israel at next month's Eurobasket competition.
Casspi, 21, recently became the first Israeli to join the NBA after signing a three-year contract with the Sacramento Kings, worth $3.5 million.
Ranked 23 in the draft, he hopes to put Israeli basketball on the map in America.
Omri Casspi is the first Israeli to be chosen in the first round of the NBA draft. The 6ft 9" forward was selected in 23rd place by the Sacramento Kings.
Four other Israelis were previously selected in the second round of the draft but did make a single appearance in the NBA.
Maccabi Tel Aviv star Casspi described the news as "a dream come true. It is a great day for me, my family and Israeli basketball."
In America to negotiate his contract, Casspi, 21, surprised officials by choosing the number 13 shirt - his lucky number.
Israel will name a 12-man squad for the Under 18 Future Stars International Junior Tournament at Kingston College from July 10-12.
Coached by Danny Franco, the squad is competing at the competition for the first time. They line up in a group alongside Russia, Lithuania and Italy.
Franco said: "The event is very important to the development of Israeli basketball as we lack high level international games. Our players need better competition than they get in the Israeli league.

He was correct on two out of the three. While anti-Semitism has not emerged as a factor in his bid to become the Socialist Party candidate for president in next month's primaries, he was already facing harsh media criticism for his lavish sports cars, $7,000 (U.S.) suits and first-class travel before Saturday's sex-crime charges.
Mr. Strauss-Kahn may also face further scrutiny related to his alleged assault on a young novelist named Tristane Banon. Ms. Banon said in a television interview in 2007 that she had been sexually attacked during an interview she conducted five years earlier with Mr. Strauss-Kahn, whose name was beeped out in the broadcast. "He was acting like a rutting chimpanzee," she said then.
On Monday, Ms. Banon said that she would be pressing a criminal complaint against the IMF chief. She offered a terse announcement on her Twitter account: "I will speak shortly to the media. For now, a complaint has been lodged at the police headquarters of the 11th [arrondissement of Paris]"
Often referred to in France simply by his initials - DSK - Mr. Strauss-Kahn is the son of a tax adviser and journalist. Born in the posh Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, he spent some of his childhood in Morocco and Monaco before returning to France. A gifted student and committed leftist, Mr. Strauss-Kahn earned degrees in business, law and political science and completed a doctorate in economics.
Charming and ambitious, he was elected to France's parliament in 1986 as a member of the Socialist Party, the start of what would be a long career in politics. During the 1990s, he served as both trade minister and finance minister before becoming embroiled in a corruption case, which was later dropped. In 1991, he married for the third time, to Anne Sinclair, possibly France's most famous television journalist.
The stunning nature of the accusations against Mr. Strauss-Kahn has set off a swirl of conspiracy theories in Paris. Mr. Strauss-Kahn himself claimed the party of President Nicolas Sarkozy prepared a smear campaign against him and said he had confronted the president at a urinal in Pittsburgh and told him to stop it.
Driving one of the conspiracy theories is the fact that the first person to reveal that Mr. Strauss-Kahn had been arrested was a young activist with Mr. Sarkozy's UMP (Union for a Popular Movement) party.
At 4:59 p.m. Saturday in New York, just 20 minutes after the IMF chief was removed from an Air France flight, a self-described UMP "militant" named Jonathan Pinet, used his Twitter account to announce the arrest.
Mr. Pinet, who grew up in Montreal but now studies in Paris, denied participating in a smear campaign. He later said that a French-Canadian friend of his who works for the Sofitel hotel in New York had informed him of Mr. Strauss-Kahn's arrest.
Pierre-Henri Dumont, a friend of Mr. Pinet's, said the conspiracy claims are outlandish. "Do you think a 21-year-old kid has the power to topple the head of the IMF?" he asked.
In Washington, the IMF's executive board met on Monday but gave no hint of a decision regarding Mr. Strauss-Kahn's future with the organization. In 2008, the board employed a law firm to investigate a relationship Mr. Strauss-Kahn had conducted with a female economist at the fund. The affair was determined to be consensual, and the executive board closed the book on the matter with a reprimand, calling the incident "regrettable" and an example of a "serious lack of judgment."
For his part, Mr. Strauss-Kahn pledged to do better in the future. "The personal behaviour of the managing director sets an important tone for the institution," he said in 2008. "I am committed, going forward, to uphold the high standards that are expected of this position."
The incident showed how difficult it can be for officials at the IMF to hold leaders responsible for their actions. "The bottom line is these managing directors wield enormous authority and there is no effective check on them," said Thomas Bernes, the executive director of the Waterloo, Ont.-based Centre for International Governance Innovation and a former Canadian executive director at the IMF.
Associates of Mr. Strauss-Kahn still were struggling to absorb the thunderbolt of seeing one of the central figures in the fight against the global recession being placed in the back of a police car in handcuffs.
"He is one of the most impressive public servants I have ever seen," said Robert Shapiro, chairman of Sonecon, LLC, an economics consultancy based in Washington, and a member of an external committee that Mr. Strauss-Kahn established to advise him on issues in the Western Hemisphere. "To say that I was shocked by [his arrest]understates my response."

Staying at Joe'sby Kathy Altman
A deal she can't refuse! Allison Kincaid can make a great sales pitch. But showing up at Joe Gallahan's motel asking for a favor is her toughest challenge yet. A year ago they were more than just colleagues at a big PR firm. When work came between them, Joe put the blame on Allison...and his opinion hasn't changed. She's shocked, however, when Joe agrees to help. Even though she doesn't love his terms, she accepts them because she'll get what she needs. If striking a deal with him means donning a pair of coveralls and swinging a hammer, so be it. Working side by side with Joe again, they might be able to repair the past. They just might get a second chance, too!

However, he struck 104 not out as England racked up 290 for eight at Antigua's Sir Vivian Richards Stadium – a total which ultimately sealed a 29-run warm-up triumph.
Asked if he feels he has rediscovered some lost form, the 23-year-old said: "A little bit.
"I never worried too much about that. I knew I was always going to come back. It was never really a massive worry, just a fresh start here on this tour and really knuckling down and getting back to making some big runs.
"The key is to continue and build on this, and make sure I go on and become more consistent and can be relied upon on more occasions.
"To get runs early on in a tour gives you a lot of confidence for what's to come."
While Root's hundred ultimately came in a winning cause, it was not without some nerves as Kyle Corbin's superb ton threatened to earn the hosts victory.
"You've got to give credit to Corbin," added Root. "He played exceptionally well. (But) you know the class of our bowlers, and I'll back them all the time."
Corbin's efforts at one stage evoked memories of James Faulkner's remarkable 69 not out in last month's second one-day international against Australia, whom he took to victory in the unlikeliest of circumstances.
"Those things don't happen very often," said Root. "I think we did learn from that game, and we're going to have to continue to do that throughout the tour.
"I'm sure we'll take a lot of confidence from this as a side, and will go into (the first ODI against West Indies on) Friday with that.
"We hope we can create a bit of a habit now for the rest of this tour and start something off."

Historical Traveler Reviews VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort Puerto Plata
Ive had the time of my life
Pure paradise, can't fully explain the true excellence of this place. We went in a group of 8 and met a couple there and not one single person can make a single complaint. The food is fantastic with an amazing amount of choice, the rooms are spacious, spotless and very comfortable the weather is fantastic, and the staff truly made our holiday, Derek, Junior and Puba are such great fun, I really miss them guys, the there is Mr Felix, gorg body girls, and Cheeta is destined to get the blokes going! Entertainment is what you make it, we got in there and had a really good time, learning various dance moves that will stick in my head forever! I can't personally imagine a holiday ever being any better, I would go back tomorrow!
I would certainly advise to go on the Jeep Safari, it's a reality shock and it proove's that you can be happy with your life without money, I have a whole different view on life.
Anyone who has a problem with this hotel must have overly high standards, it is a 4 star, I would give it a 5!
Dive School in Hotel !
I have visited Gran Ventana and I recommend to everybody to do their PADI diving license with the Pool-Instructor of the Hotel. You will find him close to the towel desk at the big pool, and he will guide you from the pool to the underwaterworld of Sosua. It is amazing !
Thanks ...
Not worth the stay.
Thinking this was a 4 stars hotel, I stayed at Gran Ventana all last week. It did not meet those expectations at all!
The rooms were damp and humid. It looked like they had some sort of a filtration problems with the rooms. Mine was located on the 3rd floor and the building had no elevators. The beach area had small piles of sand, so every time the wind blew, it got into my face and eyes. I resigned to be by the pool most of the time. The water at the beach was cold, and it had a what appeared to be a sewer nearby. I saw some of the staff from the hotel making a small tunnel in the sand which helped to move these muddy waters from sewer,unto the beach.
Food was mediocre, and the dining room staff seem to be under stress. They did had time to stop and chat for a few moments. Entertaiment was even less than mediocre. Lots of audience contests, but not a real show. The only plus for this hotel, is it cleanliness. But I did not pay $1000 plus dollars just for a clean place. For that, I could had hired a maid.
Could have been better.
Our room was musty wen we first arrived. I attribute this to our arriving during the off-season and that the room
was closed and vacant for a period of time. The mustiness soon was eliminated by the air conditioning. The
thermostat for the air conditioning was broken, so the room temperature could only be controlled by the fan
settings. Also, our balcony door did not lock. Since we did not spend much time in the room, these problems
were not important. The room was very clean. The service was very good. We had everything we needed, plenty of towels, etc. We did leave sundries on the pillow for the cleaning staff and they seemed grateful. All of the employees greeted guests with a "Buenos dias" or "Hola". There were distilled water coolers on every floor, so we kept re-filling our plastic bottles.
We (my girlfriend and i) went to this place for a friends wedding. 9 hours from uk, is a long time but hey, i've been to australia, so no problem. after the all travelling, ariving in the room was very nice. fully air conditioned. very spacious, nicly decorated. then it was meal time, well, the most gorgeous food and loads of it. after 11 hours traveling a feast of 3 plates full was needed. and went down well. then i'm afraid it was bed time, the travveling had took it's toll.
Next day, down to the pool, well it's wonderful, there's a swim up bar that is a strange experience, the beach is only 1 min walk, but that's when the trouble starts. when you get on the beach, the salespersons start and they don't leave you alone. my girlfriend got her hair breaded after 3 days of anoyence. It cost around �40 or $100 and it was a complete mess. it was glued in, and was a different colour. My advice is stay away from all the traders on the beach.
anyway that's not the hotels fault, so buy summing up this review i would say, so it's great
One Great Family Resort
This is the best resort in Puerto Plata we just got back from our 9th visit and once again we had the time of our lives, We traveled with a group of 27 this year who were family and friends and proud to say that there was not one complaint.
The management and Staff at this resort are the most enjoyable people in the world and they are there for anything and everything that you may need to make your vacation one full of memories.
The resort itself is very clean and surrounded by Fresh Flowers and cheerfull Dominicans. The pool are very clean. If fact you cannot walk anywhere without seeing Staff cleaning something.
The food is excellant with lots of choices from both sit down and buffet style, The beach Grill is one of my favorates where one dosn't have to change their clothes to sit down and have a meal.
This resort is a family resort and it is just that the lights go out at 12 midnight, but don't worry if your the type who wants to Rock, Roll and get down. Just 2 mins outside the gate you can Dance all night at the local Disco or Gamble at their casino.
I could go on forever about this resort it's truely Haven Us.

Gran Ventana, 2/2002
We stayed at Gran Ventana for a week in Feb 2002 and have the following insights:
The Room
There are 3 buildings in the hotel: Saona, Catalina, and Beata. Beata is by the "quiet" pool.
The other two are by the pool with the "fun team". We stayed in Saona. Our room was a junior suite and we highly recommend getting one if possible. The terrace of our room faced out to the ocean and had a nice breeze coming through so there was not much of that "musty" smell that others' reviews spoke of. There is no breeze by the pool but if you walk for two minutes to the ocean, the breeze can get quite stiff. I'm betting the people who complained about the musty smell had rooms facing the pool which don't have much air circulation.
Yes, the electricity is turned on by sliding your key tag in the slot by the door. If you can't deal with your room having no electricity when you're not there, take the key off the ring and leave your tag in the slot. It's that simple.
There was a problem with the hot water while we were there. Sometimes it would be cold, and one afternoon there was no water at all. After promising several times that it would soon get turned back on, the desk sent us to the
building next door so we could shower off the day's sunscreen. (Bring plenty of sunscreen, by the way)
There is satelite TV but half the channels are in spanish and the signal cuts in and out frequently.
We were chanrged $16 US for the TV remote and safe key. It's not much money and for the piece of mind to know you
will have your passport when you're ready to leave the country, it's well worth it.
Otherwise our room was clean and the maid service was pretty good.
The Facilities and Staff
The grounds and pool are also kept very clean. Be prepared to stake out a lounge early because they are usually
taken by late morning. The staff is also very friendly and generally English is spoken pretty well. Our intent
for this trip was to relax, which we did, so we didn;t go on any excursions. However, I did use the "gym" which had a non-ergonomically-friendly universal weight machine. The sauna seats about 4 or 6 but it was turned off when I went to use it and no one was around to explain. I didn't pursue the issue.
Although the place purportedly offers snorkeling, wind surfing, sailing, etc., the gear is located at one of the other hotels in the Dorada complex, so if you want to do that stuff, be prepared to go find it.
The "fun team" spends the day yammering into a PA and trying to rally people to play games. If you want to be left alone they generally will after a couple of refusals.
The "entertainment" was surely lame. Half of what we bothered to witness seemed to consist of dragging people out of the audience and using them as the entertainment.
We got his & hers massages. They cost 200 pesos which ends up as $14 US for a half hour. You get what you pay for. Any trained massage therapist would cringe. They try to crack your fingers and toes and generally it wasn't as strenuous as I prefer, however my wife was satisfied with hers.
Food and Drink
We've stayed at other all-inclusive resorts and I'd say board here is pretty standard. If you're from New York, like us, or some other urban center of culture, you probably won't be that impressed by the food. Those of you from more rural spaces where Italian food in considered ethnic cuisine will probably like it better. We're strict vegetarians and were generally able to do ok but continue to marvel at how the chefs felt compelled to add ham to rice, beans, and "vegetable" selections. I don't know what it is about resort alcohol but it doesn't seem to work.
The Weather
The weather was great! We went in February 2002 and it was always in the 80s (F). A couple of days it was rainy with sunny periods and some days were partly cloudy which was a welcome break from the hot sun. Bring plenty of sunscreen and re-oil often - we saw plenty of scorched Canadians.
Hotel Gran Ventana
Lovely accomodation, backing on to the beach. Friendly staff, plenty of places to walk to and a shopping arcade within 10 minutes gentle stroll. Excellent food and drink (all inclusive).
My two weeks of Paradise
I just need to say that when you go to a country such as Puerto Plata, you realize just how we take things for granted. We, as Canadians are spoiled. This trip made me realize this. I would recommend anyone visiting this area. It is quite the culture shock, ladies, the men will love you.
I spent the most fabulous two weeks here. It would also be a great learning experience for anyone. I would not recommend bringing children. It is sometimes a sad reality, and at times was hard for me to take.
I keep telling myself if I ever win alot of money, this is where I will go and live. Hopefully make a difference in some of the peoples lives.
I would also like to say that the Dominicans are a very happy and beautiful pepople.
I could go on and on, but, I will just say, given the chance I would most certainly go back.

Day 9
... found out the day before that we would be having it for lunch. After pizza at the lazy dog, we got back on the bus and headed 15 minutes down the road to Sosua. In Sosua, I went souvenir shopping at the market and then jumped in the crystal clear water with all my friends. For some reason, the Sosua beach side looks a lot like Greece. That was an observation many people made, even Olivia, who was in Greece earlier this summer. The water ...
Day 8
... I got up a couple minutes later though to get some ice cream. The man selling it walks up and down this mountain in pants with ice cream on his head, so mad props to him and all the people who live in Brisón. I ended up getting two ice creams; one was chocolate and vanilla, the other was cake flavored? I calmed down a little, ate my lunch, and then just talked to Olivia for a little bit before it was time to go back down. Normally, GLA talks ...
Day 3
I'm too tired to write much. I noticed a bunch of spelling errors after reading through my day 2 post. I swear, I know how to spell clothes. Fun fact: Dominican Republic has the 8th most dangerous roads in the world. That means stop signs don't really matter and you can pass every car you want, even the police, if they are going too slow for you. I've also only seen one stoplight. We had breakfast and went to Caraballo for service. It was a long drive, but we stopped at ...

While it looked like nothing, this small source of water was completely pure and not contaminated by rain water because it was coming directly from the earth.

My favorite part was our impromptu fruit tour guide, Felix, who pointed out the different fruit trees (with samples of course) and gave constant quizzes to help us remember the ...

The damage was not as bad as first feared, however some of the materials are not readily available in-country. Apparently good quality marine epoxy can be hard to find in the quantities necessary at any kind of reasonable price. Glass is easy to find but it is not very uniform and you can only get Chopped Strand matt which is not nearly as strong as good old ...

Discuss and debate new thinking with like-minded individuals in an informal and relaxed environment.
Guided walks to spot the joyous signs of spring are taking place along Middlesbrough's becks.
The Boro Becks Team is leading the walks along Middle Beck, Ormesby Beck and Marton West Beck.
Chris Corbett, Community Outreach Officer, said: "With bumble bees and butterflies all active after the recent good weather and blackthorn blossom now showing, there should be plenty to see and hear."
The first walk takes place on Wednesday, March 30 from 10am to 1pm.
It is five miles and follows Middle Beck as far as Ladgate Lane and across to Ormesby Beck.
The walk will take a closer look at future plans for these vital green spaces and the wildlife that they support. Meeting place is at the main pedestrian entrance to Pallister Park, off Ormesby Road.
Dress for the weather, wear strong footwear and bring a drink and snack.
Then a Springtime ramble takes place on Thursday, April 7 from 10am to 1pm.
The walk follows ancient routes down Newham Beck to Devil's Bridge and returns by the tree lined path up Marton West Beck. Meeting place is outside the visitor centre at Nature's World.
The path is steep and muddy in places so participants are advised to wear strong footwear, dress for the weather and bring a drink and a snack. Walkers may call in at the Nature's World café at the end of the walk.
For more information about the walks, please ring the Boro Becks Team on 01642 515618 or email email@example.com
The Boro Becks team is a three year project run as a partnership between Middlesbrough Council, Tees Valley Wildlife Trust and the Environment Agency. The project is supported by Natural England through Access to Nature as part of the Big Lottery Fund's Changing Spaces Programme.
The team is working on a wide range of initiatives to help improve the environment of the becks and encourage more people to use the becks as enjoyable natural spaces.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
For 2016, Toyota sweetens the Land Cruiser with revised styling and a new 8-speed automatic transmission. New features include the Safety Sense-P system (forward-collision avoidance, lane-departure warning, auto high beams and dynamic radar cruise control), an enhanced Entune head unit and Qi wireless phone charging.
It ain't broke, so it ain't fixed: The 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser SUV rolls along with no changes.
Nothing has been changed on the Land Cruiser for 2014.
For 2013, the Land Cruiser receives a host of new interior features and a slightly refreshed exterior design. New xenon headlights with integrated LED running lights, restyled taillights and a revised front grille mark the notable exterior changes. Inside, the 2013 Land Cruiser receives a new multimedia navigation system, perforated leather-trimmed seating surfaces, a color multi-information display and numerous interior trim updates.
There are no major changes for the 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser.
The 2010 Land Cruiser now offers Toyota's Safety Connect telematics system. Available by subscription only, the system can detect when the airbags deploy and call for assistance, or help police track the vehicle if it is stolen. Also new is an upgraded audio system featuring a USB port and Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity.
For 2009, privacy glass is added to the Land Cruiser's side and rear quarter windows.
For 2008, the
Toyota Land Cruiser grows longer, wider and roomier. The new 5.7-liter V8 is one liter larger and produces 116 more horsepower. All-new front suspension, revised rear suspension and several new technological advancements combine to improve on-road ride without compromising off-road potential.
No major changes for 2007.
Although it looks and feels nothing like the original Land Cruiser that debuted so many years ago, Toyota's 2016 Land Cruiser SUV remains dedicated to its original purpose. With one well-equipped model carrying up to eight people and capable of towing up to 8,500 pounds, the Land Cruiser is a slightly less expensive alternative to such long-established luxury SUVs as the Mercedes-Benz GL and Land Rover Range Rover. Unlike many crossover SUVs, the Land Cruiser is equipped with a sophisticated Multi-Terrain 4-wheel-drive system complete with a low-range transfer case, permitting the Land Cruiser to go places most SUVs only manage in Madison Avenue photo shoots.

"About 6 months ago I got fed up and traded in my 08 Cadillac Escalade for the Land Cruiser as I was tired of the "little" problems that I kept having with the Cadillac. WOW the Land Cruiser doesn't disappoint, the interior fit and finish is light years better then the Escalades, I have yet to have any problem with the LC, whereas the Escalade was back to the dealer in the first 6 months several times from tire pressure sensors going out to broken door handles. The LC is EXPENSIVE, but after driving one, I wouldn't own anything other the a LC again."

"I have owned this truck for 3 years now and almost 80,000 care free miles. I call it a truck, not an SUV. Trucks are tough. Trucks can tow heavy loads safely. Trucks can be lifted (mine is, lifted 3") and run 33" tires and have 13" of clearance under the rear axel casing. Trucks have real four wheel drive systems. Trucks can have winches (mine does, thanks to the Austrian Outback). My point is, there are not many vehicles left in the world that can go from the highway to some of the roughest jeep trails in Colorado, hauling 8 people and doing it with comfort and quite. The Land Cruiser is truly remarkable because of it's versatility, on road and off. It looks big, but it's really not. Only 1.5" wider than a Jeep. Only 12" longer than the 4 Runner. With a lift kit and replacement bumpers from ARB, the LC can out do Jeeps in rocks and shelfs. It has a unique articulation sway bar that allows the LC to reach down and keep contact with the ground at low speeds, but prevents excessive sway on the road. There are also many modification kits available. Not as many as Jeep or the FJ, but the ones that are available make taking long haul trips across America and explore it's back country roads more enjoyable and safe. It's just too bad Toyota does not sell the Diesel version in the US. The gas milage is terrible."

A Loveland man pleaded guilty Friday to one count of careless driving resulting in death, in connection with a January traffic crash that killed a Windsor teen.
Wayne Ochsner of Loveland was immediately sentenced to 36 months probation, 100 hours community service, 30 days of straight jail time, with the remaining 270 days on work release, a traffic fine of $300 plus court costs. He was also ordered to complete a level 2 safe driving class, according to a Weld District Attorney's Office news release.
The crash happened just before 8 a.m. Jan. 18 at Colo. 257 just north of U.S. 34. A silver 2000 Ford F-250 was traveling south on Colo. 257, and veered into the lane where a white 2009 Toyota Camry was traveling north. The Camry, driven by Windsor High School junior Luis Manuel Reyes Mon, 17, attempted to avoid the collision, but was still struck head-on, according to police at the time.
Ochsner, the driver of the Ford F-250 pickup, sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene and released. Manuel died on scene. A 10-year-old passenger inside the Camry, Manuel's sister, Karen, was taken to North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley with minor to moderate injuries.
Manuel was on the cross country team at Windsor High School, was a member of the Knowledge Bowl team at the school and was an excellent student, Karen Trusler, superintendent of schools at Windsor-Severance Re-4 School District, told The Tribune in January. He transferred into Windsor his sophomore year in fall 2010.

The Hiden IG20 high-brightness gas ion gun is further enhanced by the introduction of a new beam optic and ion source configuration to enable both increased beam brightness and beam contrast, together with a significant reduction in ultimate spot size.
With a raster scanning area of 4x4mm the IG20 is equally suited to depth profiling and to surface imaging applications, and is the preferred gas ion gun for secondary ion and secondary neutral mass spectrometry, for Auger and for XPS.
Parameter selection and gun operation are fully under PC control, and the gun is operable with both oxygen and with inert gas primary sources.
