Features: Purchased the VBT w/white finish and black bindings. I play various V shaped axes and this one met most of my personal specs, especially the neck through design, jumbo frets and the passive DiMarzios D Activators. Overall, the axe contains a decent set of features for me. // 10
Sound: play fusion and battle metal for sport but know and appreciate many other styles of music. I tested the VBT through through my Krank Revolution loaded w/ 6L6's my Peavey Triple X loaded w/KT77s and my Marshall Mode 4. I had no gripes or difficulty obtaining the tones or sound I was trying to achieve. I purchased the axe the day before a gig and decided to pair the Krank with the VBT. I had no issues with feedback because I know how to gate properly, so that was not an issue Live. However, w/the selector Switch in the rear pickup position I had to tweak the tone control down a bit because it seem a bit "high endy" for me. Outstanding variations in tonal shapes to include superior cleans. // 8
Action, Fit & Finish: The rosewood fret board is smooth and definitely set for speed. All 24 frets can be accessed with ease. Action works well especially for staccato runs, sweep arpeggios and the like. Ibanez always excels in that department for sure. I credit the company for employing the D Activator pickups on the mahogany body because without em, the tone would not meet my specs. The bridge is awesome. I love the fact that it's adjustable by using a hex Tool to tweak it and tighten it down for dead on intonation, which by the way is easier and faster to zero than conventional systems. The decision to modify the machine heads with Sperzals was negated because the orgignals are good-to-go for now and work fine. I do take issue with the bindings. Attention to detail was not demonstrated here on a black one I was going to purchase and the one I did purchase (inconsistent i.e., slightly wavy striping). Come on Indonesia, raise the bar! // 8
Reliability & Durability: The axe stood up to the first gig with no problem. I use it for several tunes and pick up several other Vs during a show, so it works just fine for what I use it for. OBTW, the company I bought the axe from didn't have a case for it, so I purchased a Gibson V case instead. I modified the case so the wings would make it in the case and added foam to the bottom of the body portion for stability. I was offered a Coffin Case but declined because their so freakin huge to the point of ridiculous. Cases are getting hard to come by for the VBT since production has ceased. I also modified the rear strap position on the axe as I do with all my Vs but care should be taken here when drilling the hole in the v portion of the VBT body due to routing of the pick selector wire. This is where I give the company an 8 regarding construction. All companies should know by now to put the rear strap hole in the middle of the v wing for better and equal strap positioning and body hang. Shame on all of 'em! Other than the aforementioned, durability is decent. // 9
Overall Impression: I've been playing for about 20 years and own every V shaped model there is. I will continue to collect and play em as long as I can. The VBT700 is a great guitar for the price and I welcome it into my arsenal. It plays as good and in some cases better than some of the other Vs I own. To bad production was ceased on this model but hopefully Ibanez will canvas the reviews here and elsewhere to highly consider production on a more advanced model soon. // 6
Price paid: $ 600
Purchased from: Guitar Center
Features: I bought my Ibanez VBT700 about a month ago from Guitar Center. I bought it in black with white binding. The guitar is awesome. It has a 24 fret Wizard II neck. The guitar is string thru and neck thru so the sustain is great. The bridge is a Gibraltar custom bridge. The pickups are DiMarzio D-Activators and sound amazing, even compared to active pickups. There is one volume knob and one tone knob and a three-way pickup selector. // 9
Sound: I play everything from classic rock like ACDC and Guns N' Roses to Metallica and Pantera to modern metal like Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, etc. I have played with the guitar in most everything from Standard tuning down to Drop C and have never had any problems. The guitar fits my music style well and sounds amazing. The D-Activators were definitely a motivating factor for me getting this guitar, and they are impressive. The guitar can handle almost any style of music I've thrown at it. I am currently playing through a Line 6 Spider III 30-watt amp and the guitar sounds wonderful. I played the guitar through several amps at Guitar Center including many high-end models and it sounded great. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: When I picked up the guitar there was some fret buzz, but a slight truss rod adjustment eliminated that problem. Besides that, everything was set up very well at the factory. The pickups didn't need any adjustment and the knobs, tuners, and Switch all worked fine. There were no scratches or blemishes on the guitar, and there are still very few, even though I've bumped the guitar into the wall and my computer desk many many times. The headstock seems invincible, since I've hit it on the wall hard several times and there are no marks whatsoever. All of the electronics work flawlessly as well. // 10
Reliability & Durability: I haven't used the guitar to play live, but I have played it for several hours a day every day for a month and have had no problems with it. I have no doubt that the guitar could withstand Live playing. The hardware is great and I've seen no problems with it. The strap buttons are solid, although the back strap button could be relocated to a better position. I would always have a backup guitar when playing live, but I don't think I would have to worry. This guitar is solid. // 10
Overall Impression: As I said, I play mainly metal and this guitar meets my needs hands down. I have been playing for about two and a half years. This is my third guitar and by far my favorite. Before purchasing it I would definitely recommend that you play it first. It is difficult to play sitting down, but since I am always standing it doesn't bother me at all. If it were stolen I would cry because I couldn't afford to replace it, but I would definitely buy another as soon as possible. I researched many guitars in this price range for a few months before buying this one and played them all before finally settling on this one. It was a great purchase and I have no regrets. I definitely recommend this guitar to anyone looking for an amazing guitar at an affordable price. Don't let the fact that it has been discontinued discourage you, it is still an amazing instrument. // 10
Price paid: $ 550
Features: I bought this guitar from Guitar Center in February. It is black with white binding, has a 24 fret Wizard II neck (feels great), and a Gibraltar custom bridge. The guitar comes stock with DiMarzio D-Activator humbuckers in the neck and bridge, which are some of the best passive pickups I've ever used. The V-Shape looks great, and the guitar is very comfortable to play. It has one volume and one tone knob, and a 3-way pickup selector. // 9
Sound: My influences range from classic rock to modern metal. I mostly play stuff ranging from Lamb Of God and Metallica to Dream Theater and Opeth. The guitar has met all of my needs so far. I originally played the guitar through a Peavey 5150 combo, but have since played it through many amps. It sounds great every time. I have never heard any unwanted noise come from the guitar. I am not a huge fan of active pickups, so I was happy that the D-Activators sounded so good. // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: I got the guitar set up the same day I bought it, so I can't say too much about the factory set up. However, with it set up, I have never had any trouble with the amp. It sounds great, and looks great as well. The guitar had one minor scratch on the back when I bought it, but nothing major. All of the tuners and electronics are secure, and have remained secure since the first day. The finish on the guitar is pretty nice. I've knocked it around a bit and still no damage that is noticeable. // 9
Reliability & Durability: I have only ever used the guitar live once, and it performed perfectly. The hardware seems solid, and everything appears to withstand damage well. The strap buttons never failed me, although I eventually replaced them with strap locks. I don't think I have to worry about the guitar too much. // 10
Overall Impression: I play a lot of music, ranging from all out heavy metal to mellow progressive rock. The guitar has satisfied me across all areas. I have been playing for about three years now, and this guitar is the best I've ever owned. I also own a few other cheaper Ibanezes, and this guitar blows them completely out of the water. The only thing I have come to dislike about the guitar is that it is a little top-heavy, but I've gotten used to it. The guitar has been stolen once and, although it was later returned to me, I fully intended to buy another to replace it. It is a great guitar, and I wouldn't give it up for anything. The only thing I'd want to add would be a separate volume for each pickup. Otherwise, I recommend this guitar to anyone. // 10
Features: This guitar has some good Standard features; it has DiMarzio humbuckers which are great, 24 frets which are really easy to play on, black finish with a whitish lining, shark fin inlays, made in Indonesia, neck-thru, Ok tuners, one volume control and one tone control, string thru body. Really good stuff. But not the best. // 8
Sound: I play mostly metal/rock/punk/alternative. I like Metallica, Slayer, Pink Floyd, Blink 182, Sum 41, Pantera, and As Blood Runs Black. This V can play it all. The clean tone is amazing, even on my Raven rg20 amp, and when I put on my Dunlop Kirk Hammett sig wah pedal it sounds even greater. The distortion is awesome too on this guitar, I have a Boss MT-2 metal zone and this guitar is perfect for it. Right now the tuning I'm on is half step, on this I go D#, D, and C#. I use the coated Ernie Ball strings and also the sound range/tone range of this V is incredible. I play with the toggle Switch on treble and the tone and volume maxed and its beautiful! // 10
Action, Fit & Finish: I bought this guitar at a local shop, and I have no idea if it was used or new, there's no scratches so I assume new. Everything was set up correctly and I never had to mess w/ anything. The black finish picks up finger prints easily but that can be fixed with any cloth. // 9
Reliability & Durability: I never played live yet but I'm hoping to start a band and play at the battle of the bands in my highschool. Playing on the amp is great-and its a 20 watt! I've taken great care of this V and my les paul, but I've bumped it a few times on my wall switching between my 2 rooms, but it never left a mark... The things a tank. The paint isn't scratched or chipping and that's good. // 9
Overall Impression: This guitar is Amazing. I've only been playing for about a year, but I can play every slayer/metallica song without error and this guitar can do it. She stays in tune good and I'm impressed with the sound quality on my mt-2 and Dunlop KH wah. In the near future when my band is well known I'm going to stop collecting old lighters/zippos and start collecting these(discontinued due to lawsuit) if somebody stole this I'd backtrace him and beat him until he admits he done goofed. And then I'd post on /b/. I'm going to get another and paint a blue slayer logo on it, since my first one has a red metallica logo on it.
I'm going to put EMG 81/85s in it and put a Floyd Rose tremolo in it. Reverse the headstock and headbang until even kerry king would tell me to stop. The only thing I hate is that the frets accumulate alot of gunk and I don't have anything to clean it with:( when I get my ESP Kirk Hammett KH-202 guitar I'm still going to play this. When I get a job I'm going to get a Marshall amp with the kerry king cab and a kirk hammett sig Randall amp and plug the vbt into the kkv amp and the KH-202 into the randall. I'm always going to have a extra vbt in my 1970 plymouth roadrunner when I get it. Oh this guitar makes me dream. I'd rate it 9, 001 out of 10. Its made for metal and that's what my band will be playing on stage and this guitar in my hand. Look out for a band named either Fallen or In dying days. // 10
Price paid: £ 350
Purchased from: eBay
Features: Okay, this guitar was made by Ibanez round about the year 2008 or somewhere close, but it is now a rare guitar as production of it was canceled a few years ago. This guitar has a 24 fret fret-board that appears to be made of rosewood to me. This guitar is quite light for a guitar of it's size, especially considering it's unusual shape. It has a fixed Ibanez Gibraltar bridge with a string-thru-body style setup, body style is Flying V (obviously), there are two dials for the volumes of the two pickups and one shared master tone dial.
Pickups are passive, but were specifically designed to outcompete active pickups. They are called DiMarzio D-Activators and are probably some of the most powerful pickups on the market today. These pickups are also installed on the Ibanez Xiphos XT700 and the Ibanez Destroyer DDT700. Tuners are non-locking from what I can tell but seem to be very good at keeping this guitar in tune. The alan keys required were included when I bought it along with a case, which was a real find considering this guitar isn't made anymore. I would say that looking at the features you get on this guitar, it's very hard to see why it was removed from production. // 10
Sound: This guitar is capable of smooth blues, jazz, classical and funk and I have tried all these style to be sure of it. However, the sheer output of these pickups really shines when you play Classic Rock and heavy metal. The sustain that you can get from these pickups is phenomenal. I have used it through a Blackstar HT Club 40 and a Boss ME-50 multi-effects board and it sounds just right for my needs. There is no unwanted noise that I can find as of yet.
What you really want to know though is how it would sound for you. Well, this guitar has a very good high range and a very good mid-range, but because it doesn't have as much wood-mass as say the DDT700, it doesn't have as much low end as some guitars. This thing sounds wonderfully sharp and I would recommend it for any lead guitarist out there, but if you are a rhythm guitarist you may want to double check you options unless you have a seriously thick-sounding amplifier. // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: The action fit and finish were all very welll setup when bought this, the pickups were at their correct height and the bridge was set just right as well. Because I had to change the gauge of strings on it I had to adjust the truss rod to compensate, but this is a fact of life for every single guitar on sale today. It responded immediately and I have had no problems with how it feels to play since then. // 10
Reliability & Durability: The finish on this thing is very good. Because it's painted white, sweat-marks don't show up when you're playing live. Hardware and finish have stood up well to live playing, as in I can't see live performance having any real effect on them. This guitar is definitely dependable, but you should always bring a backup guitar just in case something goes wrong. There has been no issues with ant metal components that I can see. // 9
Overall Impression: Well, I play mostly Rock and Heavy metal, but I do play quite a lot of blues, neo-classical and Jazz-based music as well, so having a guitar that just does metal sounds isn't an option for me. That's why I don't regret buying this guitar. I actually didn't buy is per say, but actually traded in my old Schecter V-1 Hellraiser for it. That's how much I liked this guitar.
I have been playing live for about 3 years now, and I can safely say that this guitar is a piece of equipment that most of the people that I've met will want to own. If it was stolen, I wouldn't be able to get another, as there are precious few of them around anyway. I think that the reason this guitar was taken out of production is actually because of the way it looks. Most of Ibanez's usual customers want guitars that like like the RG or the 'superstrat' design. Obviously there are the Mick Thompson signature guitars, but this V-Blade may have just come across as a bit too flashy. I think i's a real shame, because as guitars go this is a must-have. There are very few guitar that are this sharp, and that feel this good to play.
If you find one of these guitars in a shop window, then I urge you to go inside and ask to play it, because if another guys spots it before you, it won't be there for long. These thing now go for about 1500 on Ebay, whereas their price from Ibanez originally was about 700. But personally, I think that 700 is very cheap for what you are actually getting. If it's between this and a Gibson Black Beauty, this wins every single time. // 10

Care of Influenza (Flu)
Influenza is caused by a viral infection and often occurs in epidemics. Symptoms usually last 3 to 4 days, unless complications develop.
Symptoms of influenza are similar, but slightly different, than those of a cold. They include fever, headache, muscle ache, chills, weakness, cough, sore throat and general fatigue. Nasal congestion and a runny nose are usually not associated with the flu.
Self-care is usually the most effective treatment for influenza; professional medical treatment is rarely needed except in the case of complications. Suggestions for self-care are listed below.
- Rest and stay warm; increase your hours of sleep.
- Eat a well-balanced diet.
- Gargle with warm salt water to ease the discomfort of a sore throat.
- Use of hard candies or cough drops to soothe a dry throat and to inhibit coughing.
- Use a vaporizer or steam from the shower to relieve congestion in your head and chest.
- Take two Tylenol every four or five hours to help relieve fever, aches, and pains. You may also use Ibuprofen in place of Tylonel.
- Avoid close contact with others and, if possible, curtail normal activities, including physical exercise, until your symptoms disappear.
- Avoid smoking when you have the flu, as it will cause further irritation to your upper respiratory tract.
If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, earache, and persistent fever over 101 F, or if you develop a deep, mucus-producing cough, you should seek professional medical attention. Additionally, if your illness lasts for more than 4 to 5 days despite good self-care, obtain medical care.
Influenza is highly contagious. Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, and avoid close physical contact to prevent infecting others.
Medical Treatment
If your symptoms persist or worsen, medical treatment is available at the Student Health Center at (970) 351-2412.
The most effective way to prevent the flu is to get your flu shot!
The health center is currently out of flu vaccine, but you can still walk into any pharmacy and receive a vaccine - It's not to late to vaccinate!

Last weekend My Own True Love and I hit the road after far too many months of being tied to desks, tasks, and deadlines. It was our third anniversary and we wanted Romance, plus a little history, long walks, fabulous food, glorious scenery. We chose the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan.
The hotel was indeed grand.* The scenery was glorious. The weather was perfect. We walked, and ate, and danced in the hotel ballroom. We sat on the porch and enjoyed an excellent talk about the hotel by historian Bob Tagatz.** But the history highlight of the trip was a visit that we had planned as a time filler: Colonial Michilimackinac.
Run by the Michigan state park system, Colonial Michilimackinac is Michigan's answer to Williamsburg, both archaeological dig and historical reconstruction with plenty of intelligent interpretation.*** The site was home to a fort from 1715, when the French built it as a central depot in the Great Lakes fur trade to 1780, when a nervous British commander dismantled the fort and all its buildings and moved them piece by piece to Mackinac Island to keep them from falling in the hands of North American rebels.
The (on-going) reconstruction shows the fort as it would have appeared in the 1770s, when it was under British control after the French and Indian wars but still had a French population of traders. The costumed interpreters know their stuff. The exhibits are well designed and informative. The site provides an excellent view of colonial life away from the cities of the Eastern seaboard and a vivid sense of three cultures–British, French, and Native American–coming together in one place. Unlike most sites dealing with the fur trade, Colonial Michilimackinac tells the story of more than just the voyageurs: French priests, English merchants, African-American craftsmen, Indian slave women, Irish entrepreneurs and a Jewish merchant from Germany all play a role.
We spent the better part of a day at the site, totally engaged. What's more romantic than that?
* Just in case anyone from the Grand Hotel is reading this: the room would have been even better if it had adequate reading light in addition to two comfy chairs. I'd rather have good light than mints on my pillow any night.
**Gotta love a hotel that employs its own historian.
*** It has been under excavation since 1958, making it the longest on-going historical archaeology program in the United States.

Japanese PM applauds World Cup squad
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan hailed Japan's World Cup squad on Wednesday after a nail-biting defeat to Paraguay ended the Blue Samurai's unexpectedly strong performance in South Africa.
"They showed the world the real strength of Japanese football by working as a team," Kan said in a statement. "I applaud them for their brave battles."
In a gruelling match, Asia's last representatives in South Africa fought bravely but failed to dominate Paraguay, eventually losing a penalty shoot-out 5-3 after the match ended 0-0 after extra-time.
It was the first time the Japanese had advanced to the knockout phase since the 2002 World Cup, which Japan co-hosted with South Korea.
The team's strong showing came as a surprise to many at home, where expectations were low for the national squad, which in recent years has performed poorly on the international stage.

Diablo Cody's quirky dialogue is making its way back into television. The creator behind Showtime's short-lived series United States Of Tara just sold a cross-generational romantic comedy sitcom to ABC. Cody's moving to primetime ya'll!
Cody's show, titled Alex + Amy, will follow the romantic ventures between "an ambitious 22-year-old Millennial guy and a 32-year-old Gen X woman who have just moved in together and are very much in love." The show will be produced by Warner Bros. TV and Amblin Entertainment's Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank, along with Cody and her manager Mason Novick.
Cody's last TV project United States Of Tara, which starred Toni Collette as a suburban housewife and mother with multiple personalities, lasted only three seasons. The show garnered a lot of praise, mainly due to Collette's performance as Tara Gregson. But despite the critics' approval and numerous Emmy wins, Showtime cancelled the show in May 2011.
Cody's previous works, including Juno and Young Adult, should be indications of what Alex + Amy will be – tons of pop culture references (spanning over two generations), witty banter, and unusual set pieces like hamburger phones and Jiffy Lube receipts. Can a show by Cody survive on primetime TV? Is America ready for this? ABC seems to think so.
Are you looking forward to Alex + Amy?

League Appoints Three City Officials to CriMNet Task Force
Shana Conklin, attorney with Campbell Knutson, P. A.; Jay Arrowsmith DeCoux, mayor of Grand Marais; and Steve Washburn, mayor of Watertown, were appointed by the League Board of Directors on Nov. 19, 2015, to the CriMNet Task Force. The League received 11 applicants for the three open positions that were to be appointed by the League.
In 2001, the Criminal and Juvenile Information (CriMNet) Program Office started providing an additional advantage for data integration in Minnesota. The task force assists the policy group in its duties. The task force monitors, reviews, and reports to the policy group on CriMNet-related projects and provide oversight to ongoing operations as directed by the policy group. Task Force members are not directly responsible for managing program activities, but provide support and guidance for those who do.
Eileen Wells, former city attorney for the City of Mankato, served as one of the two city attorney appointees to CriMNet. With Eileen's retirement, there was one vacancy on the task force for a city attorney. Amy K. L. Schmidt, associate city attorney, City of Bloomington currently serves as the other city attorney appointee.
Doug Biehn, councilmember from White Bear Lake, previously held one of the appointment positions for an elected official who works or resides in the seven-county metropolitan area. The other position, for an elected city official who works or resides in Greater Minnesota, had been vacant for some time.
The Task Force includes county sheriffs, police chiefs, county attorneys, public defenders, judges, corrections administrators, probation officers, victim-advocates, court administrators, legislators, county commissioners, state agency representatives, and other legal and local representatives. The task force currently meets quarterly.
Congratulations to Shana Conklin, Mayor DeCoux, and Mayor Washburn on this opportunity!

HILLVIEW - In the time of an emergency, the Bullitt County Sanitation District was ready to help out the owner of a private treatment facility.
However, that lending of a hand will not go any further until a long-term solution to the problem surrounding the failure of the Hunters Hollow treatment facility is developed.
On March 29, a failure in the wall of the Bullitt Utilities treatment facility led to over 300,000 gallons a day of raw sewage being dumped onto the ground and into a tributary of Brooks Run.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A local insurance agent takes over an office that was left in good hands.
The Scot Dawson Allstate Agency offices held a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the Bullitt County Chamber of Commerce.
The agency is located at 1257 Highway 44 East in Shepherdsville, in the former offices of agent Brenda Hester.
"It's wonderful to walk in and have an experienced staff and a solid customer base," Dawson said.
Originally from Iowa, Dawson has served as an Allstate agent in the area for two and a half years.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - Residents and visitors may soon have some more places to place their bottoms.
At a recent Mount Washington City Council meeting, Lori Puchino, director of the Main Street program, said several new benches will be added to the landscape.
"I believe I have six out of 10 sold," she said.
The benches are being sponsored by individuals and local businesses. There will be nine with backs and one without. She said they also have the option to purchase a plaque designating the sponsor. The cost is about $1,300.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The Shepherdsville City Council debated on how they will handle future debates.
By a 3-2 vote, an ordinance seeking to prohibit voting on an issue, unless it had been submitted for the agenda by the Wednesday prior to the agenda preparation, failed.
The matter arose after an issue listed as discussion on new school resource officers became a matter in which council members were asked to cast a vote.
MOUNT WASHINGTON--Need a stitch? Mount Washington's newest monogram boutique, Cordial Lee, can help with you that.
The shop, which recently opened, is located at 611 North Bardstown Road next to Papa John's and Club Fitness.
It sells items such as shirts, stadium seats and Easter baskets which can all be customized in the backroom on one of their machines. All prices include the cost of the embroidery, said owner Shelby Packer who owns the business with her husband Steve.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - For 91 years generations of Bullitt County women have worked together in their own style.
Each year the Bullitt County Woman's Club gives back to the community in the form of college scholarships.
The 43rd annual Irene Carroll Scholarship Luncheon and Style Show will celebrate all of that with its theme, "Through the Generations."
Woman's Club representative Lou Ann Moore said the style show will feature three generations of family members modeling together.
Check out the latest scams and bad business in BBB's April 2014 Hot Topics!
The world is glued to the news about the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. Now, scammers are taking advantage of curiosity over the missing flight. BBB is warning, don't fall for click bait teasers promoting exclusive footage of found passengers.
How the Scam Works:
You are on Facebook, and a post catches your attention. "Video of Malaysia MH370 Plane Found in Bermuda Triangle. Passengers alive," it teases. Another popular version promises: "[NEWS FLASH] Missing Plane Has Been Found!"
HILLVIEW - Over a year ago, developers cleared the first hurdle to build nearly 200 apartment units in northern Bullitt County.
But it has taken over 15 months to gain final approval.
The Bullitt County Joint Planning Commission approved a subdivision plan for Brooks Crossing.
The delay has been getting approval on road improvement plans which were part of the rezoning request.
The complex would be located on Blue Lick Road just north of the John Harper Highway.
HILLVIEW - The clock is running on Hillview city officials.
The state Court of Appeals did not overturn or alter an $11 million judgment against the Hillview City Council over its breach of contract with Truck America and owners Jim and Debbie Carter.
The city has 30 days to decide whether it would ask the court of appeals for reconsideration of its ruling or ask the state Supreme Court to consider its appeal.
Neither request would be guaranteed.
Over the course of the past two weeks, city officials have held two executive sessions.

A number of small details need just looking at.
Poor experience
There was an unexpected car perking charge, the staff themselves were confused, we had 3 different versions of how to deal with the situation.
The machine only took £ coins & the charge was £10 . The system was newly installed but didn't seem to have been thought through or explained either on the web sites or to the staff. Just hoping that "Parking Eye" don't give us a ticket. White wine was served warm. However, after seeing the helpful manager about this no charge was made. Food rather average but as it was not as described on the menu one meal had to be sent back. Chicken burger was covered in cheese; this is very poor as many people have dairy intolerance. Spa OK but changing rooms could do with a makeover.
We will not use this chain again, we left feeling very negative about the stay.

Adrère Amellal Ecolodge | Berber Digs In Egypt
Posted By Sarah Backhouse On December 19, 2007 @ 1:39 pm In G Living,Traveling & Cool Stuff To Do | No Comments
Take it from Herbert Ypes, the creative force behind the The Hip Hotels series. He ranks Egypt's Adrère Amellal Oasis in his all-time top 20. This from a man who out jet-sets Paris Hilton. And with one glance, you can clearly see why.
The Adrère Amellal Oasis is the destination for those looking for a luxurious getaway in a unique, ecological and cultural setting. Situated in Western Egypt, the resort is "Nestled at the foot of a majestic mountain overlooking ancient olive and palm groves, Siwa's largest salt lake and the dunes of the Great Sand Sea."
As for the resort itself, derelict Siwan homes were restored and expanded using traditional Berber techniques. The walls are built from kershef, a mixture of rock salt and mud. This keeps the interior cool, while ensuring that the exterior blends in with the surrounding environs. Strategically placed windows and doors eliminate the need for air conditioning, which is just as well, as the entire resort is free from electricity and telephones. The former is replaced with oil lamps and bees wax candles, while the latter… well, considering this is an oasis, it's best to leave the BlackBerry at home.

The disorder you asked about, collagenous colitis, is a rare but treatable inflammatory disorder of the colon. It is characterized by chronic watery diarrhea (sometimes up to 30 times per day), which might lead to dehydration weakness, malnutrition from not being able to eat properly, bloating, and occasional nausea. About half of patients report that these symptoms occur suddenly, with little warning. During an episode, certain foods — especially those high in fiber and high in fat, dairy products, various spices, and uncooked fruits and vegetables — might be triggers. Although, research has shown little evidence of a link between food and collagenous colitis. Those at highest risk for developing collagenous colitis are males over the age of 40, but cases have been reported in children as young as seven.
Diagnosis is often reached through a process of elimination. Most cases are diagnosed because there is little damage in the intestine shown during an endoscopic examination (which eliminates other disorders, such as Crohn's disease or celiac sprue) and the diagnosis of a band of collagen in the biopsied cells of the colon.
Several medicines have been found to be effective in treating collagenous colitis. Successful clinical trials have included the use of medicines such as budesonide, aminosalicylates, prednisone, metronidazole, cholestyramine, and bismuth subsalicylate.
It is also suggested that patients avoid using any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen), because of a possible link between patients taking NSAIDs for their arthritis-like symptoms and onset of collagenous colitis.
The symptoms associated with collagenous colitis can be treated with anti-diarrheal drugs such as loperamide. If loperamide does not control the symptoms, bismuth subsalicylate is sometimes added. Budesonide might also be prescribed for serious chronic cases. About 25 percent of patients will require long-term therapy because symptoms will resurface if treatment is stopped. Surgery is a radical approach and is seldom used, except in extremely severe cases. As with any condition, you should discuss your treatment options with you doctor.

By Dan King - Newcastle United Club Reporter
Newcastle United Under-17s 2
Bolton Wanderers Under-17s 0
Goals from Adam Campbell and Rolando Aarons sealed Newcastle United's place in the Milk Cup final as they overcame Bolton in Ballymoney on Wednesday night.
And Dave Watson's side now face Desportivo Brazil in Thursday's final at the Ballymena Showgrounds (kick-off 8.20pm) as they bid to win the Premier section of the tournament.
Campbell went into the game with five goals from three games in the competition and thought he had another when, after winning an early penalty, he converted from the spot - only to be ordered to retake his kick.
This time, his effort was saved but it didn't take long for the 17-year-old - one of the smallest players on the field - to pop up with a header. The move was started and finished by the England under-17 man, who played in Alex Gilliead on the right before meeting the resulting cross with a deft touch of the forehead.
And Jamaican winger Rolando Aarons doubled the advantage before half-time as he cut in from the left and sent a left-footed effort into the net.
Newcastle had other opportunities but Watson was pleased with the manner of the victory, as he told nufc.co.uk.
"They were two great goals and the team played really well - it was a great performance," the former England defender said. "We were really professional and we've only conceded one goal in four games and scored 15.
"We've played really well and there's been a gradual improvement, which shows that the lads are taking on board what they're being told."
United's final opponents beat Cherry Orchard 3-0 in their last four clash and Watson admitted: "We've had someone looking at them and apparently they're the best team in the tournament.
"But we'll have a right good go at them and we're looking forward to it."

Kosi Bay Lodge Holiday Accommodation Near St. Lucia Wetland Park KwaZulu Natal South Africa
|Kosi Bay Lodge with various holiday accommodation options – in the Kosi Bay region of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park KwaZulu-Natal perfectly positioned in the middle of the lake system to enjoy all that this diverse area has to offer.
Situated In The Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park South Africa
"The St. Lucia Wetland Park must be the only place on the globe where the world's oldest land mammal (the rhinoceros) and the world's biggest terrestrial mammal (the African elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (the coelacanth) and the world's biggest marine mammal (Whale)"
In the far north of the St. Lucia Wetland Park known as Maputaland this unspoilt natural area of the Kosi Bay Nature Reserve combines a marine sanctuary with a wildlife reserve for those who delight in exploring a range of environments. From the Kosi Bay Marine Reserve in the north, marine sanctuaries extend southwards to include the Maputaland Marine Sanctuary, the Sodwana Bay National Park, and the St Lucia Marine Reserve down to Cape Vidal.
The KwaZulu Natal coastline boasts a summer climate all year round. Kosi Bay in particular is a rich tapestry of lakes known as the "Jewel of Maputaland". This 18 kilometer stretch of estuary is separated by some of the highest vegetated sand-dunes in the world from the warm Indian Ocean.
Kosi Bay home to the rare Palm Nut Vulture and breeding place of the Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles, the area is only one of two where Raffia Palms are to be found in South Africa. The lodge is perfectly situated to really get the full benefit of what is on offer in this very special region. A number of lakes and streams enter the sea at Kosi Bay and the region is famous for numerous pristine beaches. Much of the area is protected within the Kosi Bay Nature Reserve with several hiking trails. Kosi Bay is known for its lush vegetation – fig and raffia palm forests, lakes, beaches and mangrove swamps.

Consensus Draft Grades
Guess who had the consensus worst draft in the NFL? Deadskins "win." Danny Boy's really leaving his mark as a GM - further decimating the once-great Redskins.
The fans give the Deadskins an "F" for their draft.
Of course, our "objective" JKD thinks the Bears and the Redskins drafts are comparable. Or he will whine about how we cannot compare apples and oranges, or some other nonsense. The fact is the Redskins organization sucks and this was just another example of how foolish they are.

The parable of the Talents appears in different forms in each of the three Synoptic Gospels. In Matthew, the amount is a silver talent, each worth more than a thousand dollars. In Luke it's just a pound, or 'mina', worth only thirty. Matthew has the lord distribute unequal amounts to his three servants; Luke has many servants receive just one pound each.
But these are details. They should not distract from the point of the parable, which is: how do we use the gifts God has entrusted us with?
The word 'talent' has passed into common use as a natural ability given at birth, which when used brings fame, fortune and a sense of one's resourcefulness. We are encouraged to 'develop our talents', not to 'hide them' – expressions which originate from this parable, one of the better known in the Gospel and often quoted.
First, the setting: a nobleman about to set out on a journey, entrusts his ten slaves with a pound each. "Trade with these until I return", he commands. On his return, he demands an accounting. He praises those servants who have multiplied his wealth and rewards them generously. One of the ten, however, afraid of the risks of losing what he has been given, has hidden his talent in a safe place and returns it intact to his master. He receives the greatest censure.
The story is a metaphor for the Endtime. The point is not when the master will return, but that he will surely return and demand an accounting. Is this parable addressed therefore to those with responsibilities in the Church, as a challenge to them not to fail through inertia and diffidence? Do not be nervous and afraid, the story says, but be bold and enterprising.
In recent years, the charismatic renewal has brought to a common awareness the numerous gifts – or 'charisms' – which so many ordinary people have been blessed with. These are not meant to lie dormant, but used; used for the benefit of the community, to encourage it, to build it up, to witness to the world. If over the centuries, 'talent' has come to have a somewhat self-centred meaning, then surely today 'charism' is a better translation. It stands for a gift from God, which truly enhances the powers of the individual, but which is meant for service in the community.

log(x^2 + 3x + 2) - 2log(x+1) ..... write as a single logarithm.
Okay, so the first place to start is to rewrite the term 2log(x+1) as log(x+1)^2 because log contains the property logx^n = n*logx. So the expression now looks like:
log(x^2 + 3x + 2) - log(x+1)^2.
Another property of log is that logx - logy = log(x/y). So the above can be rewritten as:
log((x^2 + 3x +2)/(x+1)^2)
But x^2 +3 + 2 can be factored into (x+1)(x+2). So you can cancel an (x+1) term from both the numerator and denominator. The final expression should look like:
If I'm not mistaken I don't think it can be simplified anymore. I hope this is useful.

Location: Edmond, Okla.
Startup date: 1972
Service population: 80,000
Number of employees: 5
Design flow: 34,000 m3/d (9 mgd)
Average daily flow: 26,500 m3/d (7 mgd)
Peak flow: 51,000 m3/d (13.5 mgd)
Annual operating cost: $1.8 million
At the Coffee Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Edmond, Okla., the operators focus on continuous improvement. Examples of this frame of mind range from simple fixes, such as replacing handrails that need annual painting with galvanized ones that don't, to the in-house rehabilitation of a lift station that led to a $50,000 savings. The operators say even the small things over time add up to big improvements.
In 2005 and 2010, the Oklahoma Water and Pollution Control Association (Woodward) recognized the plant's achievements with its Outstanding Large Wastewater Plant of the Year award. (That's not a 5-year gap; winners must wait 5 years until they are eligible again.)
Incremental growthSince opening in the early 1970s, the Coffee Creek plant has undergone two major expansion projects, one each in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, that translates into three separate secondary treatment trains for the continuous-flow activated sludge process. (The plant skips primary treatment.)
After bar screening and fine screening, influent flows through a splitter box containing valves that control flow volume to a 3800-m3/d (1-mgd) two-stage nitrification system or one of two 11,400-m3/d (3-mgd) oxidation-ditch trains. The two-stage nitrification system includes two primary and two secondary aeration basins with clarifiers after each step. Each oxidation-ditch train has two ditches, followed by two clarifiers.
The flows recombine for a polishing step through two banks of sand and anthracite filters. Each bank has four filters. Finally, chlorine gas disinfects the effluent, and sulfur dioxide removes excess chlorine.
Interestingly, the plant's permit only requires disinfection from May through September. These are the months when the receiving stream, Coffee Creek, is used for recreation.
Solids wasted from all three trains are sent to facultative lagoons for treatment before land application. The plant has three treatment lagoons, and a fourth is used to decant water from the treatment lagoons.
Each treatment lagoon is dosed, goes through an isolation period, and then has accumulated sludge removed. A complete facultative treatment cycle extends 2 to 3 years. During any particular year, one lagoon receives waste activated sludge, another is in the treatment mode and does not receive sludge, and the third is cleaned. The average solids retention time in the lagoons is 1 to 2 years. Prior to land application, a lagoon will be isolated for a minimum of 6 months, during which the ambient air temperature is above 4°C.
The three lagoons provide treatment capacity for 1052, 1153, and 1513 dry Mg (1160, 1271, and 1668 dry ton), respectively. Capacity is based on maintaining a 1-m (3-ft) freeboard and a 1-m (3-ft) water blanket in each lagoon. Accumulated sludge averages 4% total solids.
The treated sludge meets Class B biosolids requirements. Coffee Creek ensures compliance by monitoring indicator organisms. Seven samples are analyzed for the number of colony-forming units of fecal coliform per gram of biosolids.
Once a year, beginning in July and wrapping up in early August, the biosolids are land-applied to local farmland to grow second-generation food crops, such as hay for animal feed. In 2010, the plant hauled out 23 million L (6 million gal).
Preventive maintenanceThe Coffee Creek operators work to prevent equipment failures instead of waiting to put out fires, according to chief plant operator Kris Neifing. For example, after 20 years of operation, the operators decided the plant's first oxidation-ditch train could use refurbishing. So they painted clarifier structural steel, replaced weirs, painted rotors, replaced diversion-box valves, and rebuilt gear boxes before they failed. They are currently planning the refurbishment of the other oxidation-ditch train, which came on-line in the 1990s.
In 2005, the plant began using a computerized maintenance management system to better track its maintenance efforts and spot problem areas. For example, in 2009, the computerized maintenance management system helped flag the lift-station sump pumps as a concern. (In addition to operating and maintaining the plant, the Coffee Creek operators also look after Edmond's nine lift stations.)
Operators were spending a lot of time working on and paying for pump rebuilds. To break that cycle, the plant evaluated several other pumps with different configurations to replace the maintenance hogs. New pumps were selected and installed and to date have not failed again.
Quick reactionSometimes, though, emergency repairs are needed, and the Coffee Creek operators are ready. In November 2009, a leaking force main threatened the operation of the plant's lift station, which carries half of the influent to the plant. To make matters worse, a major snowstorm was on the way.
The force main is 5 m (15 ft) deep and located beneath a conduit bank containing 15 conduits ranging from 19 to 50 mm (0.75 to 2 in.), as well as two junction boxes. Digging to expose the main began at 11 a.m. and took more than 10 hours.
Upon inspection, operators discovered the leak on the lift station's discharge pipe, just outside the lift-station wall. The 400-mm (16-in.) leaking pipe was fabricated from steel, but 450-mm (18-in.) ductile iron pipe had been used upstream and downstream of the leaking steel pipe.
With the problem unearthed, the operators discovered there were no clamps in the city that could fit the leaking pipe, so they improvised and welded a patch onto the steel pipe as a temporary fix. The temporary fix was covered at 11 p.m., and the force main and lift station were back in action.
Operators got to work locating and ordering the right parts to fix the force main properly. As soon as the parts arrived — 2 weeks later — the hole was uncovered again. To ensure a permanent fix, operators installed new ductile-iron piping through the wall of the lift station and used corrosion-resistant appurtenances to help mitigate future issues.
Future savingsIn addition to focusing on excellent maintenance, Coffee Creek also is working to increase its energy efficiency. The plant received a grant from the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority to help switch its motors to more premium-efficient motors. The plant replaced 14 motors ranging from 19 to 75 kW (25 to 100 hp). The changes will pay for themselves in power savings in about 3 years and keep power consumption low during peak periods.
In another energy-conscious change, the entire Water and Wastewater Utilities Department in Edmond switched to wind-generated electricity in 2009. This change includes the Coffee Creek plant and its associated lift stations and reduces the plant's carbon footprint to near zero. The change also insulates the plant from fuel cost adjustments.

A disgraceful tale from the Land of Plenty
Our fellow citizens are caught in a spiral of poor nutrition, chronic anxiety and ill-health. Most disgraceful is the way we are shortchanging our children. Poor nutrition is directly linked to a range of physical, emotional and developmental issues. Our current system of food subsidies supports bad nutrition at the expense of our children's health and ability to succeed.
Most people remain on SNAP for less than a year. They are there because of layoffs, family disruptions or medical emergencies. As they move to work, they need a transition period of support. Charity is admirable, but it can't be a permanent solution, and the logistics of food charity make it difficult to provide fresh fruits and vegetables. We need a living wage. We need a comprehensive food policy that moves from food charity to fair access and puts nutrition first.
I can't imagine an issue in which sustainability and social justice are more closely intertwined.
