The Rega IOS MC Phono Stage is Remarkable - You Need to Hear this One!
The Rega IOS is simply one of the finest moving coil phono preamplifiers ever designed. The first stage is a step-up transformer with selectable loading for your choice of MC cartridge. Then there are two separate Class-A amplifier sections to drive the high and low frequencies of the passive RIAA equalization stages. Then the final output is driven by the purest, most natural analog output stage. This provides for the reproduction of the all the subtleties in your music, as well as the dynamics and speed necessary to experience the realism necessary to create the illusion of a live performance in your listening room.
"First of all, the Rega IOS is the quietest phono preamp I've ever used. I was even more enthralled with IOS's ability to deliver an extra bit of detail to familiar recordings. The build-quality is astonishing, the flexibility world-class. The sound quality was the most additive I've ever experienced."
- Marc Philips, Tone Audio, Issue #16
The Rega IOS is a dual mono discrete symmetrical MC phono preamp; using a high performance step-up transformer input stage. Combining the super low-noise gain properties of the step-up transformer with the low-noise, high-bandwidth, all-discrete preamp circuitry, the IOS delivers the highest level of realism, dynamics and frequency extension. The results of Rega's work on this product need to be heard to be believed. This product redefines what can be achieved from a phono pre amplifier at any price. The first product in the new Rega Signature3 line of electronics is a true reference piece; one that takes on the competition at any price. Compatible with any Moving Coil cartridge ion existence, its options for loading, DC resistance, gain and filtering, allow the IOS to mate any MC design. This new product from the analog experts at Rega will impress anyone with it sonic signature and its natural musicality. The IOS is available in both black and silver finishes.

Care for the Soul
Full Product Description
"This volume explores the intersection of psychology and theology, but it is not a simple intersection. It is an intersection affected by rich theological and ecclesiological traditions, by the ravages and wonders of modern psychology, and by the character and qualities of today's ministers and communities of faith." (from the introduction) For two millennia Christians have been caring for souls. Since the Enlightenment, though, the Christian concept of the soul has been usurped by modern and postmodern notions of the self. "Somehow we misplaced the soul even as we developed a thriving science of the psyche," lament the editors of this volume. Thus there is a clash between Western therapeutic culture and the church's understanding of the soul's nature and its care. As a result, some Christians deride psychology as dangerous. Others believe that it has much to offer Christians interested in caring for the soul. What is the proper relationship between psychology and theology? Is soul care the shared task of these two fields? This collection of essays is a multidisciplinary dialogue on the interface between psychology and theology that takes seriously the long, rich tradition of soul care in the church. In this volume you'll find incisive discussions of the current state of theology and psychologyovercoming the acquiescence to secularismtheological resources for developing Christian psychologytaking theology to heart in psychologytaking psychology to heart in theology and Christian life Contributors include Jeffry H. Boyd, Ellen T. Charry, Deborah van Deusen Hunsinger, L. Gregory Jones, Stanton L. Jones, Cynthia Neal Kimball, Bryan N. Maier, Michael Mangis, Philip G. Monroe, Stephen K. Moroney, Dennis L. Okholm, David Powlison, Robert C. Roberts, Richard L. Schultz, Myrla Seibold, Brett Webb-Mitchell and David Alan Williams.

But I take issue with the claim that the ancient astronaut hypothesis has "nothing" to do with "modern-day worship." Consider the following:
- Ancient astronaut writers assert that the appearances of God in the Hebrew Bible are extraterrestrial interventions. Thus, the "pillar of cloud" seen by Moses was an alien spaceship, as was the appearance of the Lord before Ezekiel. According to multiple alternative writers, the Ark of the Covenant was an ET communications device and weapon. Von Däniken and others assert that the God who created Adam and Eve in the Garden was an alien using genetic engineering techniques. Unless I am seriously mistaken, all of these claims would seriously affect the "modern-day worship" of Judaism and Christianity, as well as, to a lesser extent, Islam.
- Ancient astronaut writers assert that the Hindu gods were extraterrestrial beings who flew in spaceships and used nuclear weapons on hapless humans. While they may not want to admit this, there are more than one billion Hindus engaged in the "modern-day worship" of these beings.
- Ancient astronaut writers assert that Ahura Mazda of the Zoroastrians is an extraterrestrial who flew around Iran in a winged aircraft. There are still 150,000 Zoroastrians who worship this "alien" and his "airplane" today.
- Several modern cults are founded on the ancient astronaut hypothesis, including Raëlianism, which explicitly worships extraterrestrials as the God(s) of the Bible.
This does not count the polytheistic pantheons of native peoples worldwide whose mythologies have been strip-mined for ancient astronaut books and Ancient Aliens. Nevertheless, such peoples as the Australian aborigines, the Polynesians, and Native Americans continue to exist, and many continue to worship their traditional gods. Most directly relevant: The Dogon people, whose myths were fabricated into the Sirius Mystery about space frogs from Sirius, still exist, still engage in traditional religion, and therefore are impacted directly by claims that their faith is a fraud born of aliens in disguise.
Giorgio Tsoukalos may want us to think that the ancient astronaut hypothesis is concerned only with the dead and dormant mythologies of vanished peoples and is therefore nothing but impact-free, fun speculation, but as put forward by Tsoukalos, von Däniken, and others, it makes clear and direct claims about the identity of beings worshiped by "modern-day" peoples. It is therefore not "fun" but a direct challenge the spiritual beliefs of, by my count, at least three billion of earth's seven billion people…though I may be undercounting somewhat. He may believe that all gods but his are false, but the ancient astronaut hypothesis certainly has something to say about those gods, and thus their "modern-day worship."

Our yoga helps us to discern what is needed on any given day.
At the end of our practice today a student made the comment that she finds my class (one of an 8-session Intro to Yoga series) so relaxing.
"Thanks. That is kind of who I am and the kind of class I teach; calm, gentle, relaxing."
It's not for everyone I'm sure, but it is what I hope people will feel when they get up from Savasana (corpse pose) and make their way back into their world.
Relaxed and perhaps strengthened by being a little more in tune with themselves. Maybe even feeling more in union with themselves and others.
I went on to say, as I had mentioned to them on other occasions, there are other teachers and classes available for when they desire more challenge on any particular day along their journey. At least for now, this is what they'll find with me.
Earlier, taking some time to settle them into class with some guided meditation to bring their attention inwards and awareness to breath, I provided initial information about establishing drishti (gaze or focus) throughout their practice. We moved on in preparation for some warm-up stretches and as most had been laying back along a bolster, I asked them to move into a comfortable seated position. Noticing how they seemed a little groggy getting up I half-joked and said if they felt like it, they could stay laying down relaxing for the rest of the class.
We are all so caught up in busy lives, technology, stresses, conversations, work, demands of our time and attention. If they want to come into the studio, lay down and rest…. I am all for it.
Photo: prevention.com
As I say, … and as my teacher first said to me….
"It is your body, your practice and what you might need on any given day is different."
If today you find the need to rest, so be it.
Isn't that what yoga is about? Quieting of the mind. Cultivating inner awareness. Non attachment (to perhaps what others think we should be feeling, saying, doing). Deep contemplation and reflection.
That state where we stop and find union.
Find rest.
Jody Ryan completed her Yoga Training in June 2011 and is currently teaching Intro to Yoga classes at Yama Yoga Studios, Doha Qatar. Being fairly new to yoga but older in life, she hopes to inspire those around her to dive deep into yoga and themselves no matter where they're at along their journey.

I really liked hanging out here when it became a little more sunny. It is a nice place to hang out with friends or take a stroll or even a picnic.
A nice and well kept garden well worth visiting. The entrance is free and usually you can park just outside. Bring your camera all year round because there is always many beautiful things around.
Beautiful green area in Lund, definitely worth a stop in summertime just to hang out on the grass with a cup of coffee in your hand. Don't miss the greenhouse, there are a couple of different temperatures and humidities with different plants to check out.
A palce which offers tranquility, comtemplation and interesting knowledge. A palce for charging your batteries.
Wonderful location even this time of year with the Dalias still in bloom !
A visit to the glass house which had various sections and interesting plants
One of my favorite place to relax and enjoy the nature. it's Beautiful, peaceful which located in the middle of town. There is also a warm house, and a caffe.
Located near the centre of Lund, this garden boasts of wide variety of trees and flowers. Specially interesting is the spice garden. A lovely place for your morning walk or just a place to sit among the peaceful paths and watch the squirrels scurry past.

MARY L. JOHNSON PLAINTIFF,v.U.S. SECURITY ASSOCIATES INC., DEFENDANT.
Approximately one month after starting her employment with U.S. Security Associates, Inc., Mary Johnson alleges that she became subject to unwelcome touching and sexual comments from male and female colleagues. She alleges that when she complained, she was fired, and then received death threats after pursuing administrative remedies through state and federal agencies.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission eventually issued Johnson a right-tosue letter and she filed a pro se complaint alleging sexual harassment and retaliation in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq. Before the court is U.S. Security's motion to strike exhibits from Johnson's complaint, and for either dismissal of the complaint or for a more definite statement. For the following reasons, U.S. Security's motion is denied in part and granted in part.
The following facts are taken from Johnson's complaint and accepted as true for the motion to dismiss. See Marshall-Mosby v. Corporate Receivables, Inc., 205 F.3d 323, 326 (7th Cir. 2000). In May 2007, U.S. Security hired Johnson as a security guard for a JP Morgan Chase facility in Elgin, Illinois. Before her first month's end, a female co-worker named Wendy began to touch, rub, and make sexually suggestive comments towards Johnson. When Johnson complained to her supervisor, the touching and comments temporarily subsided. However, a short time later, the touching resumed. This time, other guards approached Johnson in addition to Wendy, and made unwanted advances toward Johnson. After enduring this treatment for one year, Johnson's supervisor, Elias Quintanilla, began to initiate conversations of a sexual nature with her. According to Johnson, Quintanilla told her that he liked cop shows with rape scenes. He also invited Johnson to watch a movie containing a rape scene on his laptop, and showed her a picture of male genitalia painted onto the hood of a remote controlled car.
In September 2008, Johnson arrived to work and found site manager Mike Hamus arguing with Quintanilla. Johnson does not identify the nature of the argument, but she alleges that it was all a setup to force Quintanilla to work weekends on the same shift as Johnson. Upset by the news and fearful of renewed harassment by Quintanilla, Johnson alleges that she asked Hamus to be "relieved," though she would not initially tell him why. When pressed, Johnson described Quintanilla's past conduct, and Hamus told her to "get out." Johnson stormed out of the bank, throwing her security badge on the lobby floor.
Johnson then cross-filed a claim of sexual harassment and retaliation with the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the EEOC. After filing her claim, she allegedly received death threats from persons at U.S. Security, including one from Phil Casale, who reportedly told her, "if you mess with one of them -- the police, firefighters, security, etc. -- you mess with them all." Johnson alleges that her home was also broken into. After receiving the EEOC's Right to Sue letter dated September 17, 2010, Johnson timely filed a complaint with this court.
U.S. Security has moved to dismiss Johnson's complaint or for a more definite statement, and to strike certain exhibits attached to the complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). For the reasons stated, the motion to dismiss is granted in part and denied in part.
I. Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim
a. Legal Standard
On a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), the court accepts the allegations in the complaint as true, viewing all facts, as well as any inferences reasonably drawn therefrom, in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. See Marshall-Mosby, 205 F.3d at 326. In addition, because Johnson is proceeding pro se, the court shall liberally construe her allegations. See McGee v. Bartow, 593 F.3d 556, 566--67 (7th Cir. 2010). "While a complaint attacked by a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss does not need detailed factual allegations, a plaintiff's obligation to provide the 'grounds' of his 'entitle[ment] to relief" requires more than labels and conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Bell Atlantic, 127 S.Ct. at 1964--65 (2007) (citations omitted).
The Seventh Circuit has interpreted Bell Atlantic as follows: Rule 12(b)(6) permits a motion to dismiss a complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. To state such a claim, the complaint need only contain a "short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief."
Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). The Supreme Court has interpreted that language to impose two easy-to-clear hurdles. First, the complaint must describe the claim in sufficient detail to give the defendant "fair notice of what the ... claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 US 554, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1964, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007) (quoting Conley v. Gibson, 344 US 41, 47, 78 S.Ct. 99, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957)) (alteration in Bell Atlantic ). Second, its allegations must plausibly suggest that the plaintiff has a right to relief, raising that possibility above a "speculative level"; if they do not, the plaintiff pleads itself out of court. Bell Atlantic, 127 S.Ct. at 1965, 1973 n. 14.
E.E.O.C. v. Concentra Health Servs., Inc., 496 F.3d 773, 776 (7th Cir.2007); see also Killingsworth v. HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A., 507 F.3d 614, 618--19 (7th Cir.2007) (observing that under Bell Atlantic a complaint must now contain "enough facts to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face."). With the proper standard in mind, the Court turns to U.S. Security's argument for dismissal.
b. Application
U.S. Security claims that Johnson has failed to meet the requirements for notice pleading set out in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8. However, under Rule 8, a complaint of employment discrimination complaint need not allege facts in support of each element, but rather, need only allege that the employer subjected the employee to an adverse employment action on a prohibited basis. See Tamayo v. Blagojevich, 526 F.3d 1074, 1084 (7th Cir. 2008) ("a complaint alleging sex discrimination need only aver that the employer instituted a (specified) adverse employment action against the plaintiff on the basis of her sex."). U.S. Security argues that Johnson's complaint does not sufficiently link her adverse employment action to any allegedly improper conduct and, therefore, fails to put it on fair notice of the type of a claim she is pursuing. However, Johnson does state that she was told to "get out" after she engaged in the protected activity of reporting that Quintanilla had sexually harassed her. Complaint [1-1] at 3. She has also alleged that co-workers sexually harassed her by touching her and engaging her in sexually explicit discussions.
The Seventh Circuit has held that a plaintiff can allege employment discrimination quite generally, even after the Supreme Court's refinement of the standards of notice pleading. See Tamayo, 526 F. 3d at 1084 ("Once a plaintiff alleging illegal discrimination has clarified that it is on the basis of her [sex], there is no further information that is both easy to provide and of clear critical importance to the claim") (quoting EEOC v. Concentra Health Servs., Inc., 496 F.3d 773, 781-82 (7th Cir. 2007)). Because Johnson has provided adequate notice to the defendant of the nature of her claims, the motion to dismiss her complaint or for a more definite statement is denied. However, the court also notes U.S. Security's assertion that it has no notice of the relief Johnson seeks because she failed to include any statement for relief. In response, Johnson seeks leave to amend her complaint to add a statement for relief, which the court grants.
II. Motion to Strike Certain Exhibits
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f) gives courts discretion to strike from a pleading any matter that is "immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous." Material is subject to being stricken where it has no material relation to the controversy and is prejudical. Villalovos v. Sundance Assocs., Inc., No. 01 C 8468, 2003 WL 115243, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 13, 2003). Allegations are immaterial where they have "no essential ... relationship to the claim[s]." Chicago Printing Co. v. Heidelberg, No. 01 CV 3251, 2001 WL 1646567, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Dec. 21, 2001). Material is prejudical where it "has the effect of confusing the issues or where it is so lengthy and complex that it places an undue burden on the responding party." Anderson v. Bd. of Educ., 169 F. Supp. 2d 864, 86768 (N.D. Ill. 2001).
U.S. Security seeks to strike some of the exhibits attached to Johnson's complaint, arguing that the exhibits are immaterial and would confuse the issues. The exhibits U.S. Security seeks to strike appear mostly to be ones that Johnson believes demonstrate a conspiracy among security companies to threaten and kill Johnson and members of her family. Specifically, U.S.
Security seeks to strike: (1) EEOC charges Johnson filed against other security companies for whom she had worked; (2) a DuPage County State's Attorney's complaint form she appears to have filled out against her condominium association and the Carol Stream police department complaining that security companies and police departments were conspiring together to harass her and tap her phones; (3) a CHICAGO SUN-TIMES article regarding a man (apparently her grandson) found dead in a swimming pool; (4) various police reports detailing break-ins to Johnson's home; (5) correspondence declining to offer her free legal representation for her claim for unemployment insurance; and (6) correspondence with the Illinois Department of Human Rights detailing the monetary losses she contends are attributable to U.S. Security. U.S. Security argues that these exhibits are immaterial and prejudicial.
The issues raised by Johnson's complaint concern employment discrimination, specifically, whether (a) U.S. Security subjected her to sexual harassment, and (b) terminated her because she complained about the harassment. After a careful review, the court can discern no material connection between the sexual harassment and adverse employment action alleged in the complaint, and exhibits which purport to detail a conspiracy among members of the security industry to harass and kill her and her family. Likewise, there appears to be no connection between her discrimination claims and correspondence regarding unemployment insurance. However, correspondence with the Illinois Department of Human Rights regarding her discrimination claims against U.S. Security appear to be relevant to her claim for damages. Accordingly, U.S. Security's motion to strike Johnson's exhibits is granted in part and denied in part as follows: the exhibits that are the subject of U.S. Security's motion are stricken except for her correspondence with the Illinois Department of Human Rights.
For the reasons stated, U.S. Security's motion [14-1] is granted in part and denied in part as follows: (1) the motion to dismiss Johnson's complaint for failure to state a claim is DENIED, and Johnson is given leave to amend her complaint to include a prayer for relief; and (2) the exhibits that are the subject of U.S. Security's motion are stricken except for her correspondence with the Illinois Department of Human Rights. Johnson's amended complaint shall be filed by September 22, 2011, or this case shall be dismissed for want of prosecution.

Since the beginning of OMGreds I've struck up a few friendships with fellow baseball bloggers – Reds fans, card collectors, etc. It's been fun, educational and sometimes rewarding. The folks that are apart of the this community can be EXTREMELY generous and that was evident to me tonight when I checked my mailbox. Joe from Cincy Reds Cards sent me a mind-blowing box of Reds cards out of the blue. Seriously, there must be 300 some cards in the box he sent – see the photo on the right. 2/3 of the cards were of our main man, Barry Larkin. Going through all the loot was like Christmas morning when you're 5-years-old. Flat out glorious. Eric Davis, Johnny Bench, Adam Dunn, Junior, Brandon Phillips… the list goes on. The kicker? Two autographed cards from none other than Mr. Larkin (see above and Johnny Cueto. WHAT? WHAT? That's some serious loot right there.
Joe and I have swapped a few emails this year and quite a few blog comments as well. He's out in Salt Lake City, so he's a long-distance Reds fan. It's good to see the love for the Reds across the country. The thing about Joe is that he lost his entire card card collection – and probably a lot his belongings in an apartment fire over the summer. The blogging community came together and sent him LOADS of Reds cards to cheer him up a bit. OMGreds sent a little package as well… but nothing compared to what he just sent me.
Now, the other half of Cincy Reds Cards, Brad has been awesome to me as well – hooking me up with a handful of Joey Votto, Reds and Bengals cards. I was probably doing him a favor taking those Bengals cards! Just sayin'… the fellas at Cincy Reds Cards are the best. Check out their blog. They haven't updated in a bit… but what is there if flat out hilarious.
So, I just want to say thanks to Joe and Brad and tell everyone how truly awesome Reds fans are.
PS… you all see the rumors about Larkin's return to the Reds?

Fantastic Apartment

We are an English couple with two grown up sons with family of their own. I still work part time and my husband is retired. Hopefully I will also retire soon.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you both , we had a fantastic holiday, were really impressed with the apartment one of the best holidays ever. Antigua is lovely and Hamilton House is in one of the best areas Yashmin was a dream, catering to our every need The apartment was clean and kept clean by the maids and contained everything to make a holiday special.
The apartment was ideal for us and the weather was just right.We would thoroughly recommend your apartment to people looking to rent.Richard & Una Pytel.
Loved this place, lovely walk to local beaches/Jolly Harbor. Bus stop at end of drive. Decor charming,plenty of space. Never used A/C,open windows for heavenly Carribbean breezes. Best side of island by far. We look forward to returning,won't stay anywhere else on Antigua. Pool, bbq and verandah were perfect, everything about the place was perfect. Appliances worked well, really well kept apartment. Yasmin made us welcome from the start. Fantastic value get packing Dec 12 Full version see Trip Advisor
5 Reviews
4.6 based on 5 holidaymaker reviews
Relaxed and family friendly.
The location is an ideal hide away and close to the beach, restaurants / bars, boat tours, grocery and souvenir shops.The fenced yard is well-groomed and provided a contained play area for the kids. Also being mindful of the pool that is on the property. What stands out are: pick-up/drop off transportation from the airport, given use of a cell phone, beach chairs and a well equipped kitchen. Not having a house keeper at anytime during our stay was less favorable. Fun times included the lobster lunch boat ride by Creole Cruises and Castaways restaurant. I encourage getting a car rental to get to more places and sceneries because public transportation is limited and not desirable. I would stay here again.
Well equipped apartment
We had a fantastic time in Antigua. We went for a friend's wedding which was held at the sugar ridge resort adjacent to Hamilton House. The apartment was great for us, a family of 5 with children ranging between 13 and 6. There is everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The agent, Yasmin and the maintenance man, Don, were very helpful and ready to deal with any problems. Location is fairly good. Opposite are a couple of restaurants that do pizza and fish and chips and down the road is a restaurant called Miracles which I highly recommend (best curry goat I've ever had!). The beach and supermarket are about a 15 minute walk away. The main road can feel a little dangerous at times because there is no pavement and some drivers speed past! I felt more conscious of this because of the children, so sometimes we would jump on the bus which was very reasonably priced. The grounds are well looked after. Pool was cleaned once a week whilst we were there and the gardener came once a weeks also. We had the whole complex to ourselves for the first week,which was nice, then one of the other apartments was occupied. We got on well with the other guests and sharing the pool with them at times was not a problem. However if all the apartments are occupied, I think the pool area would be a bit crowded. This wasn't at all a problem for us as we are beach people. Overall Antigua is an amazingly stunning island with so much to see and do and the people are very friendly. Hamilton house proved to be ideal for us and we recommend it.
Fantastic Apartment
We had a wonderful stay in Hamilton House. We are a family of 5 with three children aged 13, 10 and 3. The apartment was fantastic, nicely furnished, clean with plenty of space for us. It had direct access from the veranda to the pool that is shared with the other 3 apartments in the block. In our opinion, this apartment had the best location of the four in the block. Also, Yasmin and Dan the local staff were a great help when we were there. We would certainly recommend the apartment to our friends and family. It was 11 years since our last time in Antigua and we had forgotten just how beautiful the Antiguan beaches were. We especially loved the local Valley Church beach, only a short 10 minute walk - one of the best.
Brilliant again
We had a great week here for Easter 2014 . This is our return visit to the same apartment, which is fab and would recommend this to others. Management company great. Jasmine on call and Don helpful to provide us with local info and fish / fruit. Our son has special needs and staff were very understanding if this. We had a great time. We went on the zip wires (with Connie), half moon bay and Barbuda for a day, which was great. The place is fab and this will not be our last visit here.
Ruth, Graeme and Isaac
We spent two weeks at this villa. It was really good. It was very clean, well equipped and in a quiet location. Most of the time we had the pool to ourselves and it was quiet. It is safe and set back from the road for small children and the grounds are very well tended. Across the road was a great pizza place and an old red bus which was a fish and chip restaurant. They were very flexible and even allowed us to order pizza for me and my husband and fish and chips for our son. The supermarket is very close and handy and the local beach bar was great. We travelled around did the zip wires, half moon bay, long bay, a trip on the reef, which can be organised from Jolleys beach next to the beach bar and we also went to Montserrat, which was amazing. The caretakers for the villa also were really helpful. Don got us some great fresh fish and mangoes. He was a great guy. Jasmine was always available. Be prepared for the poorly tended roads on the island, but you do get used to them quite quickly. We had a great time. Thank you Doreen and Neil. We would love to stay again in the future.

From the Owner
"We bought our place in Antigua following a caribbean cruise when we fell in love with the country and the friendly people. It is steeped in English history dating back to Nelson, must see Nelsons Dockyard. Jolly Harbour is the premier region of Antigua famous for its beautiful white sandy beaches of which there are many in the immediate area. It is situated on the South West of the island on the caribbean sea, white sandy beaches and beautiful turquoise seas. Driving is easy on the island should you decide to hire a car as they drive on the same side of the road as England and as the island is only 14 miles x 11 miles if you get lost it doesn't matter because you will eventually reach your detsination. Once there you will love it as much as we do. A relaxing, chill out style holiday awaits you."
Activity and Interests
Special interest holidays:
Snorkelling and scuba diving is available all over the island either off shore or on boat excursions. There is also a zip wire tour through the rainforest canopy for those a little more adventurous. A not to be missed excursion is to Sting Ray City where you are ferried out to a sandbank to swim with the sting rays. (water depth is approx. adult waist height)
There are 5 local beaches all within walking distance and one has been voted one the worlds best beaches. Antigua is renowned for its 365 beaches, one for each day of the year and Hamilton House is on the Caribbean Sea side of Antigua affording you the best beaches for your holiday. Sugar Ridge Hotel and holiday complex is adjacent to Hamilton House and offers more facilities including shops, restaurants, Health Club. Holiday membership is available at very reasonable rates. Eating at their two restaurants does not require membership.
VC Bird International, near St Johns, 20 minutes drive. Return transfers to and from the airport are included in the price. However, if you prefer to hire a car we can recommend a firm that offers very reasonable rates. We do recommend you hire a car so that you can get out and about easily to see the island and stock up on your groceries.
15-20 minutes to the capital, St Johns by car. Nearest beach is within walking distance and was recently voted one of the top ten beaches in the world. Jolly Harbour Marina, Commercial Centre and Resort is also within walking distance. Boat trips, island trips, safari, rain forest canopy adventure, diving, snorkeling, pirate ship excursion and more can all be booked at Jolly Harbour. The entrance to Jolly Harbour Marina and resort is just a few minutes walk from the apartment. This extensive complex offers the largest and finest marina in the Caribbean and superb recreation facilities. A fine 18-hole golf course and a sports centre with swimming pool, tennis courts, and a squash court, cater for the actively minded, whilst the commercial centre has a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars, and a new, modern supermarket to sustain the needs for everyday living. For all it's many amenities, Jolly Harbour remains a sophisticated and tranquil setting to while away the holiday hours. Jolly Harbour in the evening provides entertainment, bars and restaurants. Within the resort there is a local bank, pharmacy (with English newspapers), art shop and internet cafe.
Further Details:
Our agent, will meet and greet you on your arrival at the apartment. If you want details of, or to book an excursion, she can do this for you and is available at the end of a telephone should you need any help or advice. There is a telephone in the apartment for your use (pay as you go mobile - top ups at Jolly Harbour). Antigua, like the rest of the Caribbean is cricket mad. The season runs from February to July and the island boasts a brand new ground, the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The old ground, (The Recreation Ground) is in the centre of the capital, St Johns and both are well worth a visit. The island is quite small, only being 14 miles by 11 miles but it also has a third cricket ground called the Sticky Wicket situated within the airport complex. You will see this when you arrive at the airport. Sticky Wicket has a fine restaurant and bar. On your return home you can check your bags in at the departure desk and walk over to the Sticky Wicket to wait for your plane.

"Throughout New Orleans are..." New Orleans Restaurant Tip by Nola
New Orleans Restaurants: 898 reviews and 885 photos
Throughout New Orleans are many local restaurants that serve delicious foods. You cannot walk ten feet in the French Quarter without finding one. I like, Red Fish Grill, Bacco's, Gumbo Shop, Tujagues, to name a few but there are more outside the Quarter, too.
Favorite Dish: I like to stop in the Quarter for lunch as the prices on the daily specials aren't so high. Then at night I would eat light, or eat outside the French Quarter.

One of the most critical steps in buying a home is finding the right mortgage. For most people, buying a home is impossible without getting a mortgage, and because it is a major financial commitment, you should find the mortgage that is right for your situation.
A good way to start is to educate yourself. Understanding the different types of loans available, and the pros and cons of each, is important. Make sure you consider how long you plan to be in your home, your risk tolerance, and if you expect your income to rise, fall or stay the same.
Some of the mortgage products available are listed below.
Fixed rate mortgages
With a fixed rate mortgage, the interest rate and monthly payments stay the same for the life of the loan.
These mortgages are usually fully amortizing, meaning that your payments combine interest and principal in such a way that the loan will be fully paid off in a specified number years. A 30-year term is the most common, although if you want to build equity more quickly, you might opt for a 15- or 20-year term, which usually carries a lower interest rate. For homebuyers seeking the lowest possible monthly payment, 40-year terms are available with a higher interest rate.
Consider a fixed rate mortgage if you:
- are planning to stay in your home for several years.
- want the security of regular payments and an unchanging interest rate.
- believe interest rates are likely to rise.
Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs)
With an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM), the interest rate changes periodically, and payments may go up or down accordingly. Adjustment periods generally occur at intervals of one, three or five years.
All ARMs are tied to an index, which is an independently published rate (such as those set by the Federal Reserve) that changes regularly to reflect economic conditions. Common indexes you'll encounter include COFI (11th District Cost of Funds Index), LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), MTA (12-month Treasury Average, also called MAT) and CMT (Constant Maturity Treasury). At each adjustment period, the lender adds a specified number of percentage points, called a margin, to determine the new interest rate on your mortgage. For example, if the index is at 5 percent and your ARM has a margin of 2.5 percent, your "fully indexed" rate would be 7.5 percent.
ARMs offer a lower initial rate than fixed rate mortgages, and if interest rates remain steady or decrease, they may be less expensive over time. However, if interest rates increase, you'll be faced with higher monthly payments in the future.
Consider an adjustable rate mortgage if you:
- are planning to be in your home for less than three years.
- want the lowest interest rate possible and are willing to tolerate some risk to achieve it.
- believe interest rates are likely to go down.
Hybrid mortgages
A hybrid mortgage combines the features of fixed rate and adjustable rate loans. It starts off with a stable interest rate for several years, after which it converts to an ARM, with the rate being adjusted every year for the remaining life of the loan.
Hybrid mortgages are often referred to as 3/1 or 5/1, and so on. The first number is the length of the fixed term -- usually three, five, seven or ten years. The second is the adjustment interval that applies when the fixed term is over. So with a 7/1 hybrid, you pay a fixed rate of interest for seven years; after that, the interest rate will change annually.
Consider a hybrid mortgage if you:
- would like the peace of mind that comes with a consistent monthly payment for three or more years, with an interest rate that's only slightly higher than an annually adjusted ARM.
- are planning to sell your home or refinance shortly after the fixed term is over.
Option ARMs
Also called "flex ARMs" or "pick a payment mortgages," these are adjustable rate mortgages with a twist. Each month, rather than paying a set amount, you'll receive a statement with up to four payment options, ranging from a small minimum to a fully amortized payment. You select the amount you want to pay each month.
Option ARMs entice borrowers by offering initial low minimum payments, but after an introductory period, the required minimum rises substantially. In addition, if you choose the minimum payment option too often, you won't build equity in your home and may even end up increasing your loan's balance. Option ARMs can therefore be dangerous for the average homebuyer.
Consider an option ARM if you:
- want flexibility because you have a fluctuating income -- for example, if you're self-employed or work on commission.
- are financially disciplined and won't be tempted to simply pay the minimum every month.
Interest-only and balloon mortgages
Unlike an amortized mortgage where you pay a combination of interest and principal each month, with an interest-only mortgage you pay only interest for a fixed period -- usually from five to 10 years. This means the principal never goes down, and after this period has elapsed you have to either pay the entire principal off or start paying down the principal, which results in much higher monthly payments.
Balloon mortgages also offer low regular payments for a number of years (often just slightly below what you'd pay for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage). After this fixed period, the principal must be repaid as a lump sum, which generally means refinancing. Because very little of the principal has been paid down, once again, your payments will increase.
These loans can be helpful temporarily, but they don't allow you to build equity in your home, and they can cause serious financial strain when the principal comes due.
Consider an interest-only or balloon mortgage if you:
- are buying a home with the expectation of an improvement in your financial situation -- for example, you have a large debt that will be paid off in a few years.
The details
Once you know what type of loan is right for you, look at the specifics. First, of course, is the interest rate. Remember, however, that the rate you're offered may not tell the whole story. Are there closing costs, points or other charges tacked on? Make sure you ask for the loan's annual percentage rate (APR), which adds up all the costs of the loan and expresses them as a simple percentage. Lenders are required by law to calculate this rate using the same formula, so it's a good benchmark for comparison.
The features of your loan -- which may be buried in small print -- are just as important. A favorable adjustable-rate loan, for example, protects you with caps, which limit how much the rate and/or monthly payment can increase from one year to the next. Ask whether a mortgage carries a prepayment penalty, which may make it expensive to refinance. And don't be seduced by low monthly payments -- some of these loans leave you with a large balloon payment due all at once when the term is up.
Next step: Lock in your interest rate and discount points.

To the Editor:
Re ''Dealing With Addiction, and What Comes After'' (July 20), which described how companies are aiming to help executives who suffer from alcohol or drug problems:
What are the reasons for such help? At one time, these managers were recruited, trained, promoted and valued, representing major investments by their employer. Though they are paid for 100 percent of their abilities, addicted executives give back only 70 percent at best.
Termination is an option, but one fraught with problems. A disgruntled, alcohol-dependent former employee is often litigious. Corporate security may be compromised and negative public relations and morale problems may ensue. Finally, a replacement must be found and hired.
Weigh this against helping an addicted executive who will return to work more effective and loyal than ever, and the reasons are prudent and clear. Besides, you might even save a few lives.
Butler, Md., July 22

The movers rated 4 P's: punctual, polite, pleasant, professional. They were extremely careful with our belongings, making sure that nothing would get nicked or dented or dinged. They worked efficiently - and were a bit nonplussed when we "ordered" them to take a lunch break. (Our treat.)
We had a team of five to load us, two of whom drove down from NY to MD. The co-workers that they expected here were no-shows, which could have but did not translate into sour attitudes. Artie and Mike were cheerful and pleasant throughout.
Price-wise we felt we received good value for our money. While we did receive low-ball ESTIMATES, Matt gave us a firm price, which was not significantly higher than those too-good-to-be-true quotes.
Would we use them again, if we had to move? Absolutely!! Would we recommend them to others? Without hesitation!!!
