In 1992, Holmes, and his band, Images, were gigging full time with the three mates from high school supporting big-name acts such as The Beach Boys and Transvision Vamp.
Images had a five-album international recording deal with Giant Records, the label owned by
"It sounds great but none of them made the charts and without a hit single, albums just sat on the shelf," he says.
The band formed at high school on Sydney's northern beaches in 1985. "Learning an instrument and collaborating to be a real band required a lot of discipline," says Holmes.
Opening for
But eventually – sick of being poor – the band folded.
Holmes had a building degree to fall back on and spent the late '90s working as a real estate agent while buying and developing residential investment properties.
Then in 2000, he became a Harvey Norman franchisee which was a success although under the company's model he didn't own any equity. During those years, he built a private investment company and leveraged his earnings to go millions of dollars into debt and amass 21 investment properties. "I wouldn't recommend that method to anyone," he says.
After five years, his heart was no longer in retail. "I wasn't passionate about getting somebody to spend $3000 instead of $2000 on a bigger TV they didn't need." When a friend died of cancer, Holmes "realised you have to enjoy what you do, even if it means taking a backwards step" and he left to pursue his investment interests full time, before eventually joining AMP and later
"If we can make somebody's super last for the rest of their life, then that's a really wonderful thing."

Cataract Surgery Questions and Answers Archive
Q&A: Would my wife be a candidate for laser vision correction with a nearsightedness of -18 and retina reattachment?
My wife is very near-sighted (-18) she has had both retina' re-attached and has significant thining of the retina. Her vision w/contacts is quite good,about 20/20, but when she needs to wear glasses it is a problem. It is very difficult to fit her w/glasses because of the required correction. The laser procedure sounds as if it may improve her ability to wear glasses (at least more normal ones). My concern is what potential negative issue may we be looking at because of the severity of her vision problem? She is 40 yrs old and her eyes are quite healthy, as is the rest of her. The retina surgury was about three years ago & she has had no difficulty since then.- Mike
Your question is a good one, the -18.00 prescription is beyond the range of laser correction, which has it's maximum at -12 to -13 diopters. If she were treated, her residual correction would be approximately -6.00 diopters, a vast improvement over her current situation; but still fairly near sighted. One other option would be cataract extraction with a lens implant, if there was any trace of cataract formation (not uncommon after retinal surgery). A new lens implant would allow her to correct all of her nearsightedness. Lens implants (without cataract surgery) are still being investigated, but may be available in 2 years time. Please contact the office if you wish to schedule a consultation. Our phone number is 1-800-824-1073.

Q&A: What should I do if after cataract surgery I am nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other eye and my pupils are different?
I am in my mid forties,and had cataract removals from both eyes several years ago. I had never worn glasses in my life, always having perfect eyesight. After the surgery I was left near sited in one eye, and far sited in the other. Also my pupils are set very small, and do not dialate. I feel the doctor that performed the surgery did not do it properly. My eyes look very strange now and I`m quite upset about it. I`d really appreciate your input on this. Thank You, Tim Chesworth
Cataract surgery can change your prescription depending upon the lens implant. If the eyes are markedly different, and you notice an imbalance, one of the lenses (usually the farsighted eye) can be exchanged, to make the eyes more balanced. Contact lenses could be an option also. If you would like a second opinion, feel free to schedule an appointment by calling us at 1-800-824-1073.

Q&A: Would you be able to tell me if there are any doctors performing excimer laser operations in the Netherlands?
Would you be able to tell me if there are any doctors performing excimer laser operations in the Netherlands? I suppose there are, but wouldn't know where to find them. I am a 47 year old female, wearing glasses/lenses since I was 7 (myope + astigmatic) and I would love to have the laser operation performed! Hope you can fill me in on this one. Thanks in advance, Naomi Koster Amstelveen The Netherlands
Q&A: What could be happening if I still have burning eyes after treatment for Rosacea post cataract surgery?
My cataract operation was April 19, almost 5 months ago, and my eye has been burning ever since. My doctor calls it rosacea stemming from skin around the eye (though I had never had the problem before). He prescribed eye scrub and Noritate applied under the eye once/day. Two weeks ago dermatlogist was very indecisive about whether he was even seeing rosacea, but he prescribed tetracycline. Still have burning eye.Other possible diagnoses?- John
Rosacea, blepharitis, and dry eye (tear dysfunction) could be part or all of the problem. You probably never noticed it. Then you were on anti inflammatory medication after cataract surgery. Now that you are off the medication you feel the difference which you had grown accoustomed to before.

Q&A: What options do I have to correct extreme nearsightedness given I have had one torn retina?
I have extremely bad near-sighted vision. I've had one of my retna's tear due the the extreme myopia. My vision is about -17.5/-18. I was wondering what type of options I have. I'm 22 years old and I am afraid further complications like another torn retna will seriously harm my vision. I would love an opinion. Thank you very much for you time. Sincerely, Lyra
Your myopia is indeed quite high Lyra. Currently the laser (LASIK) could correct about two-thirds of your prescription, but not all of it. A newer technology on the horizon is intra-ocular lens implants, also known as implantable contact lenses. These lenses are similar to the lens implants we use for cataract surgery patients, and they can correct very high degrees of myopia. These lenses are still considered investigational, and long term studies are not complete. One question is whether they may cause cataracts or glaucoma later in life. They will probably be approved in one years time, pending FDA approval. Check with us again next year to review your options. Sincerely, John D. Zdral, M.D.

Q&A: How effective are the eye lens implants for cataract surgery and how long do they last?
My wife, 30 years of age, has recently been diagnosed with cataract. She is not diabetic and never used steroids. She has been healthy all her life. My question is how effective is Intra occular lens surgery in restoring normal vision. Also how long do these lenses last? thanks for your reply in advance.
Small incisiion cataract surgery is very successful at restoring vision. The lens implant that is used is permanent and will never degrade. The healing is very rapid and your wife should expect excellent vision afterwards. For an evaluation in the office please call 714-879-7372. Thank you. Sincerely, John D. Zdral, M.D.

Q&A: About three years ago I was diagnosed with post polar cataracts. How rare is my condition and is surgery to correct my problem as risky as I am being told.
About three years ago I was diagnosed with post polar cateracts. I am 29 years old and can feel my eye sight slipping away. I cannot seem to get as much information about my condition as I would like. How rare is my condition and is surgery to correct my problem as risky as I am being told. What do I have to do ...go totally blind?- jennifer
Dear Jennifer: Cataracts are a treatable problem, with cataract surgery. To evaluate your condition further, I would need to evaluate you in the office, but when the cataracts reach a certain point, surgery should solve the problem. To schedule an appointment please call 714-879-7372. Thank you. Sincerely, John Zdral, M.D.

Q&A: What should I do if my LASIK eye surgery was stopped due to an irregular flap and I have a steep cornea?
I was to have bilateral LASIK last Friday, however, after starting the first eye, the doctor stopped the procedure and said that the flap was irregular and she could not proceed. She did not lift the flap. She said that I would have to wait 3 months before surgery again. I have a very steep cornea and wonder if this could have been part of the problem. I asked the surgeon at an earlier visit what her experiece was and she said that she had performed about 50 LASIKs but several hundred PRKs, but that LASIK was easier since a computer did all the work. When I asked her about the problem at surgery, she said it had to do with the steepness of my cornea. Now I am concerned that I chose the wrong doctor and she is simply not experienced enough. The doctor is with an extremely highly regarded eye center that specializes in cataract surgery. Would you shop for another doctor in my situation? IS the three months waiting time appropriate? By the way, I have healed very well since the procedure. Thank you for any advice that you can give me as I am very upset with this turn of events.- Wendy
Your situation is a complex one, and needs to be reviewed in detail by a qualified physician. Factors that can be important are the steepness of the cornea, the experience of your surgeon and (very importantly) the equipment utilized. I highly recommend the 'Down-Up' LASIK procedure, as flap complications are quite rare, even with steeper corneas. This involved using one of the newest generation micro-keratomes, which we have used for the past two years without a single complication. If you would like a complimentary consultation please call Pam at 1-800-824-1073. Thank you. Sincerely, John Zdral, M.D.

Q&A: Will LASIK be a permanent change to my vision? Typically what will the surgery cost for both eyes with myself being nearsighted and having an astigmatism?
Will this be a permanent change to my vision? Will my vision change back or get worse? Typically what will the surgery cost for both eyes with myself being nearsighted and having an astigmatism?- Tony
Yes, but other factors (cataracts,etc.)can influence your sight in the future. LASIK typically costs around $4500. total for both eyes.

Q&A: What can I do to correct my vision if I have cataracts from steroid use and I am nearsighted?
i have cataracts from excessive steroid use to bring ulcerative colits under control.i wear contacts -4.50. i recently started having trouble reading without holding papers at arms length, although without my contacts in, i can read (holding up close to my eyes). what are my options? i'm interested in the implanted contacts. do my cataracts limit this? i'm 44 and have resisted cataract surgery, but ive heard about a lens replacement that would restore my normal vision and take care of my nearsightedness. And it would be covered by my health insurance thanks for your time. eric nadeli haven't needed any steroid therapy for several years
Depending on the extent of the cataracts you may have more than one option. if you choose cataract surgery you should consider the AMO Array lens. It ia multifocal and can give you good distance vision while providing some functional near vision without glasses.

Q&A: Are there eye drops available to treat a cataract and which have no side effects, can be taken by an asthma sufferer and does not cause suffering from severe day or night sweating.
Are there eye drops available to treat a cataract and which have no side effects such as lowering of the heart rate (which create dizziness), and which can be taken by an asthma sufferer and which does not cause suffering from severe day or night sweating. All these side effects are mentioned on leaflets inside the medicine package. I am asking this on behalf of my mother who is 78 and having taken these drops now for some time she is actually suffering from these side effects, and of course, the fear is if she stops taking these drops she may become blind very soon. She has been told that all drops against this eye disease have these side effects. Is this true or is there some other medicine she could take which may be more suitable for her? My mother lives in Germany and they call the disease- Sara
Sounds like your mother is being treated for glaucoma. There are no drops to treat cataracts. However, we do use drops for a short while after cataract surgery. She should inform her physician of the side effects so an alternative medication can be considered.

Although incredibly beautiful at its highest settings, there is hardly a system on this planet that can cope with playing at this level when the resolution is cranked up. For a quick benchmark I'll throw some vague numbers at you. Running Crysis on a PC consisting of a dual-core CPU, 2GB RAM, and a nVidia 8800 Ultra (a £400 graphics card, bare in mind), with the in-game settings on High (one below the maximum setting) across the board we were struggling to get playable framerates at a resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, and this was with no anti-aliasing. Compare this to Bioshock, where we could probably play at 1,920 x 1,200, with the game settings maxed out, on the same system, and you realise how demanding Crysis is.
In actual fact, playing around with in-game settings there is plenty of scope for getting much more respectable framerates and I could dedicate half a dozen pages to going through the various settings for you. Of course, if that's what you would like then please feel free to let me know in the forums and I'll see what I can rustle up. For the time being, though, I'll just take a moment out from the key subject at hand and give you a few pointers.
The first place you should look to boost performance in Crysis is the post-processing setting. This adds effects like motion blur and depth of field (i.e. blurring everything that's closer or further away from the bit you're focussing on), which add to the immersion of the game but create a huge hit in performance. However, they don't affect the actual quality of environment you're seeing so standing still, and not using a scoped weapon, you'll not notice a difference between having the setting on full or turned all the way down. So, if you're looking to boost performance, start by turning post-processing to Low and then tweak all the other settings to get the best compromise between fidelity and performance. If you've got room to spare after everything else is up high then start re-enabling this setting.
All the other settings are more subtle and moving from the highest setting to the lowest setting gives a fairly linear tail off in quality. The main thing to know is that Medium is the absolute minimum you should aim for on any one setting as the Low setting, for the most part, removes things altogether giving you a horribly flat environment - think no shadows, a flat lifeless sea, static trees and foliage, etc.
The single most important setting, after post-processing, though, is the shader quality setting. Dumbing it right down, this setting is what knits together all the others so the environment feels like a whole rather than a mishmash of individual beautiful elements. It really is a lot more complicated than that but for now just know that keeping this setting on high, or above, while dropping everything else down low will look better than compromising on this one setting.
With that brief interlude out the way, let's return to the crux of my point, that I've actually not really yet made. The thing is, people were caught out by Crysis, and they're understandably a bit miffed that their very expensive gaming PCs are now struggling to play, perhaps, the one game that they've been waiting for. Fair enough, but isn't this what PC gaming has always been about? It's the old chicken and the egg story. Which should come first, the super fast hardware that has more power than we actually need or the software that demands more of our systems? There's no right or wrong answer, just the knowledge that one will always follow the other.
Going back to Far Cry, at the time it was also extremely demanding and I, for one, put off playing the game until several months after it was released so I could see it at its best and so get the most enjoyment from it. So it is with Crysis. Just because our year old, super fast graphics cards (i.e. nVidia 8800 GTX) have been able to deliver, arguably, more than we thought we'd ever need for so long it doesn't mean we should expect that to last forever. Yes, Crysis is a very demanding game and to play it at it's best we may have to upgrade but with the next generation of graphics cards just around the corner, isn't that just what we've been waiting for?

The Tonkawa lived in central Texas. Their historical territory was along the Balcones Escarpment between Austin and San Antonio. Originally the Tonkawa had a larger territory that included the hill country around Kingsland, Llano and Mason Texas. This is the Edwards Plateau region west of Austin and San Antonio. They would roam all the way over to the Brazos river. Later, around 1600, the Apache and even later, around 1750, the Comanche moved into the region and pushed the Tonkawa out and east of the Edwards Plateau. This is where they were in most of the Spanish period and all of the Texan/ American periods of history. They lived just to the east of, and along, the Edwards escarpment. They were friendly with the Karankawa indians and shared the lands between the Karankawa homelands and their own. "Shared" – being the key word. 🙂 The Spanish often found these two tribes camped out together in these "shared" lands. They also shared land with the Coahuiltecan tribes to the south of them. Bexar county (San Antonio) was a mix of Tonkawa to the north and Coahuiltecan tribes to the south.
The Tonkawa also seem to have hosted many other tribes. At the springs in San Marcos and New Braunfels a dozen or more tribes from all over Texas were found by Spanish travelers. These were trade camps where the Caddo, Jumano and Coahuiltecan tribes would come to camp with the Tonkawa for several months in the summer. While there they would hunt buffalo on the blackland plains just to the east and trade goods and news. This region the Tonkawa lived in – was a sort of "crossroads" between the tribes from north east south and west. All this means the Tonkawa were friendly and wanted to get along with other peoples. Later, this can be seen in the way they seem to have been able to get along with the American settlers better than other tribes.
Tonkawa means, "the people of the Wolf". The Tonkawa claimed they were all descended from a mythical wolf. For this reason the Tonkawa would never kill a wolf. This way of claiming an animal or thing as a first ancestor is called a "totemic" belief system, by anthropologists. As in most societies with totemic ancestors, the Tonkawa were divided into clans. Each clan had a mythical animal or spirit they believed guarded them.
The Tonkawa Wolf Dance. Drawn in the 1850s
They refused to farm because they said they were wolves and wolves hunted for food and did not farm. So they got their food by hunting and gathering. This makes them hunter gatherers. They lived in a region with lots of animals to hunt. This region is still one of the best deer hunting regions in Texas. The blackland prairies at the base of the Edwards Plateau had lots of buffalo. There are huge and beautiful springs in the region too. The springs at New Braunfels and San Marcos are so big they turn into rivers. In Austin, Barton Creek springs and others are huge. San Antonio also has a number of good springs. The Colorado and Guadalupe rivers run right through the Tonkawa lands. These rivers and springs have fish, crawfish and clams and mussels in them. Pecan trees grow along the rivers and streams and all over this region. So with all the animals to hunt, fish to catch and pecans to pick up the Tonkawa did not need to farm. All the springs and rivers also means there are plenty of plant foods like blackberries and roots, etc. The Tonkawa had a good supply of food from hunting and gathering. A list of the food sources might include; deer, buffalo, fish, crawfish, mussels, pecans, blackberries, and roots.
The San Marcos, Comal and Guadalupe rivers used to have a species of crawfish in them that was as big as a lobster? These crawfish, also called prawns, were so good to eat the Anglo settlers caught almost all of them. They are now extinct in the Guadalupe and Comal rivers. A few still live in the San Marcos river.
The Tonkawa lived in both huts, wickiups and tee-pees. The huts described by Americans were probably wickiups. The Tonkawa wickiups were described as being very crude and covered with brush and anything available.
The Tonkawa tattooed their bodies and faces. They would have black tattooed lines all over their bodies. The Karankawa, Wichita and Jumano also tattooed themselves in the same way. This caused the Spanish to confuse these tribes when they based their identification on appearance. This makes Spanish records hard to use as sources to identify tribes for works like this one.
They were friends and allies with the Caddo, Karankawa, Jumanos and Coahuiltecans. They were enemies of the Comanches and Apaches. They were friendly with the Anglo – American settlers or at least they were not very aggressive. In the mid 1800s they were moved to a reservation in north Texas. Later they were moved to reservations in Oklahoma.
The Tonkawas would often ally themselves with the Anglos against the Comanches and Wichita. Remember it was the Comanches who pushed the Tonkawa out of their land in the hill country. They acted as scouts and troops for the Texas Rangers and the U S Army on several occasions. The most notable time they allied with the Texans was at the battle of Plum Creek against the Comanche Indians.
In the 1960s there were only 35 Tonkawa left in Oklahoma. However, it is rumored that there are still some Tonkawa living secretly around Bastrop, east of Austin.Share on Facebook

Inflation down as fuel prices fall
The UK's annual rate of inflation dropped in January to its lowest level since April last year, thanks to fuel prices falling at the fastest pace on record, official figures showed today.
The key Consumer Prices Index (CPI) measure of inflation dropped to 3% from 3.1% in December, with falling car and transport prices also acting as a drag, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
But the fall was far lower than expected by economists as January sales on the high street failed to see the same level of heavy discounting as last year.
The ONS said retailers cut prices by less after unusually heavy discounting in December 2008, while it added alcohol prices were also hiked across wine, beer and spirits.
Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation — which includes mortgage costs — showed a much larger fall, plunging from 0.9% in December to 0.1% in January, marking the lowest level for nearly 49 years.
RPI has not been lower since March 1960, when it fell by 0.5%.
Economists predict that RPI will soon sink into negative territory as the recession tightens its grip.
It is also feared that CPI — the official measure of inflation — could turn negative in what would effectively be classed as deflation.
The Bank of England warned in its grim quarterly forecast last week that the UK would only narrowly avoid deflation.
It believes CPI will reach as low as 0.5% this year and remain well below its 2% target until 2012, even with interest rates cut further from their already historic low of 1%.
Mervyn King, Governor of the bank, also hinted that policymakers would imminently resort to quantitative easing tactics — where money supply is increased — alongside rate cuts to ward off deflation.
Sinking oil prices have brought annual fuel inflation down to its lowest level since the ONS began recording data in 1997, to minus 15.2% in January.
The average price of petrol fell by 2.9p a litre to 86.3p between December and January, according to the ONS. RPI is also being dragged lower by the recent rapid and hefty reductions in interest rates.
However, there were unexpected upward pressures on inflation, such as alcohol prices rising to their highest level in nearly eight years.
Recreation and culture likewise rose last month, with the price of toys and games higher after steep price cutting in December and increases seen across overseas holidays and books. Despite today's smaller-than-expected drop, economists are still predicting that CPI inflation could turn |negative, possibly by the autumn of this year.
ING economist James Knightley said: "We continue to look for large falls in inflation over the coming months. Petrol prices have further to fall in year-on-year terms while recent utility bill tariff cuts will also be a big help in lowering inflation. The recession will intensify competitive price cuts as businesses compete for customers."

I purchased a car for my son at Public Motors. It took 2 weeks for the inital repairs to be done before we actually got the car. He drove the car for 5 days and again it needed to return to the dealer for repairs. Public Motors had the car for over a week again fixing the car. We got the car back and he drove it for a few days. Again, it was making noises and needed to go back to the shop. ALL of the repairs that needed to be done were to be a part of their "Guaranteed Inspection" process.
They not only didn't inspect it initially, they returned it to us with obivous issues. There were safety lights out on the dash! The final straw was the fob would not open the door. It would turn the lights on and open the trunk, but it wouldn't open the door. The car was a piece of junk!
I called Public Motors numerous times and they would NEVER return my call. I would be put on hold when I called or they would hang up on me as they have caller ID. I finally went and sat in their showroom for 6 hours. Yes, 6 hours. Robert Martinez, the manager, who was to arrive at work at 9:00 am did not come in until 12:30. He finally and hesitanly met with me.
I nicely explained the situation and told him I wanted my money back. Out of the 5 weeks that we owned the car, Public Motors had it for over 3 and it now needed more repairs. Mr. Martinez agreed to buy it back, but the story doesn't end there.
Public Motors was to contact Wells Fargo to get the pay off for the loan as I had made 1 payment. We are now 2 weeks later and Public Motors has never called. I have attempted to contact Mr. Martinez and he refuses to take my calls. He also refuses to call me back. I am once again left on hold or the receptionist hangs up on me.
It is now time for another payment, and I do not want my credit affected. I have tried working with Wells Fargo and Public Motors will not call them back either.
DO NOT purchase a car from Public Motors! My son does not have a car to drive and school is starting in 3 weeks! I can't afford to purchase another until this mess is cleaned up.

Very stable
Have tried various brands but these are the best toric lenses I have used. They are very stable in the eye and do not give any blurring even when blinking.
Reviewer: Mr Alex Thorpe

Spoiled me!
I'm in the process of switching from dailies to monthlies for financial reasons, but I fear that I've been spoiled by using Focus Daily Toric casually for the past few years. They're so light I barely knew I was wearing them, and the little "Ok" printed on the lens made it a breeze to put in. I'm contemplating swallowing the extra cost and moving back.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Its high time to rid Meno, Ok. of it's #1 problem. As those of us who live in Meno know all to well, Angela has caused trouble and problems for years. Those who have had contact with her thru the years, know what I'm talking about. While she pontificates endlessly to anyone who will listen on Christian values, her conduct to those of us that are forced to interact with her, are the exact opposite. To begin, she has done irrefutible harm to her son, who has been sequestered away from the public his entire life, due to her unhealthy fears of nearly everything in the world. Further we are contacting DHS to look into her relationship/care of her son. The bottom line is her problems extend well beyond her horrible parenting skills. She's lied to Public officials, filed false police reports and lied at City Council meetings. The solution is simple, its time for her and her clan to go(after DHS has opportunity to investigate). If anyone were to doubt these words, go no further than looking into her past myriad of trouble in her days at Ringwood High School. Meno and its good citizens would like to be rid of Angela A Nichols.

#1 General Comment
Dean Schoenewald passive aggressive cyberbullying
SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 20, 2014POSTED: Thursday, November 20, 2014
I am a past victim of Dean Schoenewald from Nashville Tennesee. I've been watching him over the years, not so much because I want to but because he continues to cyberstalk and bully me since 2006/2009 when I was helping him with his business. Dean has a long history of lashing out against people after they have opened up their hearts, home and wallets and anything else he has taken them for. When a victim catches the backlash of his emotionally unstable personality and decides to stop giving him things, he bully's, threatens and even files false restraining orders againste them, accusing them of exactly what he did! Again, here is a perfect example: Angela and her family filed a restraining order against him. It was granted. This is one of the many in the Oklahoma courts and this is one of many across the US.
Dean had to get Angela back by posting a false allegation against her because he needs to "hurt" others. To this day, after all these years Dean continues to open up false accounts in my name, posting my full name and home address online and just being a complete jackass because he can't control his victim mentality, feeling eveyone is against him. Well, they are only after he treats them the way he does. But he cannot take responsibility for himself and his actions. He creates his own reality and feels powerless so in turn he lashes out and takes what he can.
Go to http://www1.odcr.com and look up Dean Schoenewald. Especially, interesting, on top of the multiple restraining orders, is the breaking and entering charge.
Look at another person(s) he has attacked after they helped him in Nashville, TN here on RipoffReports

Look at the multiple complaints against him here on Ripoffreports, make sure you read the comments, you can tell when it is Dean because he is the only one prasing himself:

5,150th Subscriber Giveaway
October 13, 2004 at 8:22 AM
Add to Delicious or Add to My Yahoo!
Update: A winner has been selected
As I mentioned the other day we are just had our 5,000th subscriber and since that number flew on by we will be celebrating by giving our 5,150th subscriber a Clip-N-Seal Variety 3-Pack and a new Skinny Mini, not to mention a signed copy of Dan Cederholm's new book Web Standards Solutions: The Markup and Style Handbook (Read the book review). So if you haven't already go an sign-up to the newsletter for your chance to win.
grr... I subscribed... must not've been lucky 5150
hehehe... never know, do ya. I'll announce the winner here. But no, we're not there yet.
I will not be surpised if digital web is the top site for web design community. Good quality content. Best wishes, Sharad
Your comments scare me, Sharad. I know there are at least a few sites out there that do circles around Digital Web Magazine... or at least traffic and link-wise. But that's fine, this is not about beating out the competition, this about giving back to the community.
for all us uninitiated out here, whats a skinny mini?
Nick: I just subscribed, mostly because of the VH 5150 thing that stuck in my head. I've often used what I've learned here at Digital Web in the campaigns behind my book: http://tinyurl.com/5v32p. Small world, I guess.
I'm not sure I understand how this give away works: you send out the announcement in the newsletter to subscribers, but those who have already subscribed can't win? And non-subscribers find out about it how? re: your comment above about giving back to the community -- there's no reward here for the party faithful, so to speak.
i was kinda thinking the same as margaret...
The idea is to get people to tell their friends and such. You know, word of mouth. I think there are a lot of people out there who arn't quite tapped in to what is happening within the web community but work within this industry that should be keeping up to speed on the latest happenings as they often affect their jobs and work.
To, tig, a Skinny Mini is a smaller, skinnier Clip-n-Seal.
Hey Nick, I've enjoyed your newsletter a long time, probably more than a year now. So I'm kind-a disappointed that I can't take part in the first giveaway since I'm already a long-time, loyal subscriber... you know, the kind that should probably be able to enter a contest? Maybe whoever refers the winning subscriber should also win something. What do you think? All the above said with a smile ;)

A charming Victorian-inspired table lamp with a painted red rose pattern on the top and bottom glass.More Details >
This beautiful antique-style table lamp is patterned after classic oil-burning lamps from the Victorian era. The design features a red rose pattern on amber tinted glass, a clear glass chimney shade and antique brass finished metal components. Artisan made in North Carolina by Summit Lighting. Top switch controls main bulb and night light bulb.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Sweet little lamp for a guest bedroom. Not a super-bright light, but we didn't want that. Perfect for bedside & night-light feature is nice.
This lamp is quite beautiful and well made. You can tell immediately that its a superior make. I adore it and would highly recommend it to anyone.
Purchased as a gift and it was agreat hit
It's unique and not in current vogue (unfortunately) which makes it impossible to find in local stores. While I would love a Quoizel brand, they are too overpriced for something as fragile as this lamp. The bulb has a higher wattage than I expected which is a plus. The nightlight is perfect. The hand-painting is a bit (let's be honest) heavy brushed - too broad of strokes and takes from the delicacy of the lamp. But for the price, it's Ok. I wish the red of the rose was a pinker hue or had some pink detail along with it. I would purchase this product again and I do recommend it.
The picture doesn't do this lamp justice, it's actually more beautiful in person. I also liked the price, style and workmanship.

Self-portrait, November 1929
M.C. Escher
Dutch, 1898 - 1972
lithograph on wove paper
35.2 x 25 cm; image: 26.3 x 20.3 cm
Gift of George Escher, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, 1986
National Gallery of Canada (no. 29638)
© Cordon Art B.V. - Baarn - Netherlands. Used by Permission. All rights reserved.
From 1924 to 1935, Escher lived in Rome, where he perfected his skills as a printmaker. He made his first lithograph in the summer of 1929; the expertise he acquired is apparent in this print made in November of the same year. Although this self-portrait predates Escher's more familiar mathematical explorations and perspectival games, it anticipates the keen, intellectual scrutiny he would bring to his later art.

With classic clumsiness and style I dropped my iPhone this morning and smashed its display. This means I'm so in the market for a new Apple [AAPL] smartphone: good news then that iPhone 5 production has begun and it looks likely we'll be getting hold of the new metal-back device starting next month (October).
October action
Multiple rumors this weekend seem to support an October release for the faster, slimmer, lighter Apple iPhone. German carrier Deutsche Telecom is even offering iPhone pre-orders to its customers on a voucher system, though won't say when the device will ship, or if it will ship.
Internal Best Buy documents leaked this weekend to the BGR blog claim the device is set to launch in the first week of October. A second report from a different source seems to hint an October 21 launch, however.
You can expect an iPhone on most networks, claims the Wall Street Journal, which tells us small US carrier, Sprint, will also begin offering an iPhone 5 from October.
Production begins
We're now picking up claims that production of the new iPhones has begun. There's been a spate of leaked component images in the past few weeks, now it seems the components are being put together.
Small Mac website, Macotakara claims Foxconn and Pegatron have begun assembling the iPhone 5 in preparation for an early October launch in the US, with an introduction in China scheduled for later that month.
Strangely, the report states that once the iPhones have been made they are not being boxed-up, speculating that this is in order to install iOS 5 when that software is available.
Scheduled for introduction this Fall, iOS 5 preparation has already begun at Apple's chain of retail stores where staff are now being trained in iOS 5 and iCloud. This suggests the the new software and service to be set for imminent introduction -- though we've had no word of any Apple special event for this or for its iPod products as yet -- perhaps we'll see this emerge later this week?
So much activity
Once iOS 5 is installed on those iPhones piled-up in the warehouses beside the Pegatron and Foxconn factories, then we can expect the first units to hit retail a week or so later, suggesting Apple to be on schedule to achieve an early October launch of the phone, with the software released slightly in advance of that.
Also recently it has been confirmed that Apple did use San Francisco police to help it recover its lost iPhone 5 prototype. That effort seemingly failed, but you can read a fairly accurate list describing the most likely improvements in the device right here.
I've been predicting for some time that a move to launch the iPhone 5 in October is going to dramatically increase Christmas iPhone sales at the expense of devices from all other manufacturers. I know I'll be attempting to get hold of one of the new models to replace my broken device -- will you be getting your own iPhone? Let me know in comments below.
Otherwise, please follow me on Twitter so I can let you know when new reports get published here first on Computerworld.

The CNN Wire Store, a commercial self-service online storefront for wire stories that launched last September, was shut down about six weeks ago, with no positions being eliminated.
It was launched as an extension of the news network's subscription wire services, and its customers didn't see the value in it, preferring the original offering. CNN Wire Store enabled customers to browse through selected articles, fill a cart for review, and download story content on-demand.
"We found that there was more value for our clients in the subscription CNN Wire service and are focused on that," Nigel Pritchard of CNN Worldwide public relations said. "We closed it about six weeks ago."
When CNN Wire Store launched in September 2009, Susan Grant, executive vice president of CNN News Services, said:
The expanded CNN Wire provides an opportunity for a new platform to make CNN Wire stories easily accessible and, for the first time, on a per-story basis to any publisher, anywhere on their own timetable. With the launch of the CNN Wire Store Web site, we've made our original journalism easily available to other publishers on demand.

Heres my "new " machine. Thoughts on its age?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Heres my "new " machine. Thoughts on its age?
Jo C's photo. It was driving me crazy, so I copied and flipped it.
By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.
~Richard Dawkins
my guess 1970's??
I don't know the age but I had Kenmore's (3) for years and they were work horses. Wish I still had one of them. Stitching was perfect etc. I now own only Janome's and they make the Kenmores today.
I'm quilting a full size quilt on a 70's Kenmore right now. I love this machine. It looks similar to the one in the pic. I say early to mid 70's.
It's about 1976 - 1978 model. I have one I bought new after my first son was born in 1976! Good machine. Enjoy.
Someone gave me one just like that, I cleaned it up and oiled it. My daughter's friend owns it now, she's very happy with her "new" machine.
I have a link at home with model numbers of Kenmores and when they were manufactured. I will see if I can find it. I totally wore mine out but it was bought in the early 80s.
I was given mine in 1980 as my college graduation present, and she is still my main machine. Purrs like a kitten and is used 7 hrs a day, 6 days a week! I clean and oil her after every project, FMQ like crazy, and bought a second one as a backup! My other machine is a 1928 singer 99K, and her stitch is awesome. Congratulations!
May your blessings be many, your troubles few and your fabric stash endless!
Everyone is born right handed, only the gifted overcome it.
I have already committed my felonies, so people don't have to worry. (Russell Means)
I swear to you, I am guilty of only being Indian. That's why I am here. (Leonard Peltier)

A funnel cloud that drifted across South Auckland yesterday looked like a tornado but was harmless, says the MetService.
Several photographs of the funnel were sent to the Herald, including one from Daria Williamson, who saw it over Onehunga about 6.15pm.
"There were pretty high winds at the bottom, as you could see the cloud whipping around the base."
Jason Hopping saw it from the Botany Downs/Flat Bush area.
"It was a cone trying to form in the west of South Auckland but it didn't fully form and broke up."
Police received many calls from people concerned about a tornado. MetService forecaster Paul Mallinson said: "It's a funnel cloud in the air and if it reaches the ground, you start thinking about calling it a tornado. If it had touched down on the surface and it formed over water, it might have formed a water spout."
WeatherWatch.co.nz analyst Philip Duncan said the funnel was formed by heated air mixing with cooler air and causing the clouds to rotate.

Conference: Aspects of Legal Interpreting and Translation
Date and Venue:
26-29 November 2009, Antwerp
Short Description:
For some time now the EU Commission DG Justice, Freedom and Security has felt the need to be able to consult a representative body of the legal interpreters and translators in the EU.
Other legal professionals such as public prosecutors, lawyers, judges or police officers, all have their EU associations and can be heard on matters that are of interest or concern to them or the European Commission. The legal interpreters and translators, as yet, do not have such a representative platform in the EU.
That is why a consortium of academic and professional organisations have proposed the establishment of EULITA, an international non-profit European Legal Interpreters and Translators Association. (JLS/2007/JPEN/249)
Among others, EULITA intends to strengthen and to represent the interests and concerns of the associations and their members vis-à-vis national, European and international organisations and institutions and to promote the establishment of national associations in member states where as yet they do not exist. EULITA is further committed to promote quality in legal interpreting and translation through the recognition of the professional status of legal interpreters and translators.
As good working relations with national or regional associations are obviously of prime importance and a raison d'être of EULITA, we would like to extend an invitation to representatives of your association to attend a conference in Antwerp (26-29 November 2009) where on the first day the aims and Articles of Association of EULITA will be presented and discussed, followed by the official launch of the association. Upon registration you will receive in due time the documents relevant to the opening day of the conference.
We very much hope that you will want to support the effort to establish this EU-association and we look forward to welcoming you in Antwerp. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us if there are any immediate queries.
Aspects of Legal Interpreting and Translation
Date: 26-29 November 2009
Venue: Lessius University College, Antwerp, Belgium (www.lessius.eu)
On Thursday 26th pm, representatives and members of national interpreting and translation associations are invited to the presentation and discussion of the aims and Articles of Association of the new European Legal Interpreters and Translators Association.
This session is followed by the official launch of EULITA in the Antwerp Court of First Instance. The latter event and reception is open to all conference participants.
On Friday 27th am, after a Plenary, concurrent sections are scheduled on Asylum/Immigration proceedings (Section 1) and on Training, including CPD and training of the legal professionals (Section 2), followed by a short plenary.
On Friday 27th pm, there are concurrent sections on interpreting and translation in police settings (Section 3) and in the International Courts (Section 4), followed by a concluding plenary.
Reception in the Antwerp City Hall.
On Saturday 28th am, there is a section on Terminology and New Technologies such as e.g. telephone tapping, videoconferencing or translation tools (Section 5) and a concurrent section on Translation and interpreting for the courts (Section 6), followed by a short plenary and closure.
Evening: Conference dinner.
Call for papers: The organizers wish to invite contributions on interesting and relevant aspects of legal interpreting and translation related to one of the six proposed sections and to share information about quality standards in interpreting and translation practice. The languages of the conference will be English and French.
Abstracts should be sent by 1st May to
. They will be reviewed collectively by the partners in EULITA and notification of acceptance will be given by 15th June.
Programme and Practical Arrangements: the website
will in time contain information on registration, the conference programme, accommodation, etc. For any further enquiries in the meantime, please contact

Redmond HS receives garden club grant
REDMOND, Ore. - Redmond High School has received a $750 grant from the Redmond Garden Club to purchase instructional tools for plant grafting.
Each year, the Redmond Garden Club offers grants to local schools for instructional equipment for education about plants and gardening in the classroom. This is the second grant that Redmond High School has received for its horticulture program.
The grant will be used to expand the horticulture curriculum to include grafting of woody plants and the development of instruction about the nursery stock industry.
All fruit & nut trees, as well as most ornamental trees are grown from grafted root stock.
The RHS Agriculture Program will be venturing into the industry of apple and hazelnut nursery stock. The $750 grant will be used to purchase grafting equipment to meet industry standards to use for instruction and production.
Redmond High School hopes to develop a partnership with regional tree and nursery stock growers to further develop the program. Ag students will begin grating trees in later winter/early spring with the ultimate goal to produce nursery stock for growers in Oregon and beyond.
For questions or more information on how to partner with RHS's agriculture program, please contact Lance Hill, RHS Agriculture Science Teacher, at 541-480-2530.

- About
The great wave off Kanagawa is one of Hokusai's finest works and possibly the single most famous image in all oriental art. In addition to the sheer graphic beauty of The great wave there is a compelling force in the contrast between wave and the mountain. The monstrous wave towers above, with its impending crash of water creating a great tension, whereas the graceful lines of a diminutive Mt Fuji sit in the distance. We see tiny fisherman huddled in their sleek crafts ride down one wave, dive straight into the next and endeavour to come out the other side. These swift boats, called oshiokuribune, transported fresh fish and dried sardines in the morning to fish markets off Edo (now Tokyo) Bay, from villages on the Bohso Peninsula.

The EARTH ENCOUNTERS collection has been produced from a unique and extraordinary collection of sound recordings. The collection will help support the work being undertaken to prepare the incredible archive that was Davids gift to the world for its eventual establishment as the premier resource for researchers and musicians the world over. The work includes cataloguing and digitising the entire archive with the aim of finding a permanent home within a national museum or university.
Close your eyes, listen, and its like youre really there as part of the truly enlightening experience, enjoying the perfect sonic sweet spot. So many of these recordings feature instruments, music, and languages that have since become extinct. By being offered to the world with Spitfire Audio they are being brought back to life, sowing the seeds of inspiration for future music-makers by becoming the DNA of what we will be listening to for future generations to come.
Spitfire has worked with an initial selection from the archive to present a library of carefully curated loops, phrases, one shot instruments, and vocal performances, impeccably recorded by David, which will provide instant inspiration to composers, producers, and musicians all over the world. "Listening to these extraordinarily vivid recordings is akin to looking through a window into a different time and place -Christian Henson and Paul Thomson.
Selections are presented in DAVID FANSHAWE - EARTH ENCOUNTERS VOL 1 in such a way that they can be pitched up and down, played at different tempos/speeds, and more besides. There is also a stupendous section of warped content where the Spitfire Audio team took the original recordings and created all manner of interesting sounds from them, ranging from ethereal pads to pounding distorted beats and anything and everything in-between.
Such sounds are loaded into two differently-designed engines — each geared up to differing sonic approaches and treatments. The first provides an easy way to add everyday effects like chorus, delay, distortion, EQ, filtering, phasing, and reverb to the original content, together with more radical sound morphing controls (within the Wobble and Yoke section).
The warped content creatively benefits from Spitfire Audios powerful proprietary eDNA (electronic DNA) engine — as devastatingly demonstrated on the earlier EDNA01 - EARTH release, which includes individual and independent modulators; control of trim, bend, glide, cloning, tuning, and ADSR; wobbles that modulate pitch, volume, and filters; a gating and sequencer section with full control over amount, shape, speed, and length; 34 custom effects and impulse responses; and also an ability to crossfade between two selected sounds with speed and phase control capabilities additionally at hand how adventurous can you go?
David Fanshawe: EARTH ENCOUNTERS Vol 1 will provide you with endless creative inspiration for your music-making and will bring the work of this legendary composer and explorer within the reach of musicians worldwide for the very first time.

Now that we're well past the over-eating and all-around over-indulging, it's time to start a fresh, new year on a healthy note. We fair well in our lifestyle of low-sodium and no-deep-frying repertoire of meals. Any recipe that says saute-ing goes into the oven as a baked alternative. It also makes the kitchen space much easier to maintain when grease is not involved in the cleanup. And my sweet tooth gets an express pass to dessert. :)
Soups, too, are one of my favorite meals to have around. Fresh ingredients and a quick pause in the blender is all it takes to get a satisfying meal without sacrificing flavor; a welcome respite from weeks of sweets and rich foods.
With my winter flu, I've been indulging in soups of all kinds. Chicken soup is always best, but after a week, I started craving something richer and creamier.... like, a creamy tomato soup! I try not to leave the home with my cold, so it was good that I have most of the ingredients in my pantry.....
... and remember my winter tomato plant? It has been producing abundantly (apparently this first-time 'farmer' over fertilized it!) and I've been waiting for the right recipe to use my newly acquired soup bowl and dinner plate set in a pretty blue tint.
Just perfect!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- One small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 cans peeled tomatoes
- Fresh diced tomatoes, for a bit of texture.
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Heavy whipping cream

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and stir until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Add garlic and stir for another 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of a wooden spoon. Pour in the chicken stock and add the basil. Simmer over low/medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
Puree the soup with a blender to a desired consistency. Add salt and pepper. Simmer another 10 minutes.
Before serving, stir in cream. I was feeling a little indulgent and added a extra swirl of cream!
You can serve this with a sprinkling of Italian cheese, extra basil, a little drizzle of olive oil, some warm homemade garlicy croutons, a toasty grilled cheese sandwich or just straight up plain; any way I'm sure it won't disappoint.
We did have one casualty in the production of this basil tomato soup. I got over zealous with my love for basil, and now we have a bald basil plant... but it was such a pretty meal that I feel almost back to my old self again. :p

Fishing Features
Like all of the models in Donzi's ZF line, the 32 ZF boasts a full array of well- engineered fishing features. There are insulated overboard-draining fishboxes in the aft cockpit floor, and a 50-gallon illuminated livewell with high-volume pump system. There are four standard rod holders in the gunnels, four more integrated into the helm seat, and four more on the standard fiberglass hard top. There's rack storage for eight fishing rods in the cockpit sidewalls, and there's a cutting board and bait prep station with raw water washdown and sink housed in the transom.
See The Pictures Of The Rod Holders, Rocket launchers, and Tackle Storage!
Comfort Convenience
The 32 ZF's roomy cockpit features the same richly upholstered drop-down bolster seats and wraparound cockpit coaming bolsters as Donzi's larger 35 ZF and 38 ZF models. There's additional storage inside the center console. A sturdy console windshield offers protection as well as a distortion-free view. The 32 ZF's standard fiberglass hard top includes rocket launches, integrated cockpit lighting and spreader lights, and a locking electronics box.
Cockpit Layout
The 32 ZF features a wide-open, clutter-free cockpit floor with a forward casting platform that houses additional in-floor storage compartments. The livewell is tucked away beneath the integrated aft seat. There's an anchor locker forward, while recessed bow rails and pop-up cleats help to facilitate the outstanding, 360-degree fishability that have made the Donzi 32 ZF perhaps the single most popular boat among Southern Kingfish Association pro anglers.

The 32 ZF was designed around a proven Donzi ventilated stepped running surface, which allows for maximum top end speed while also enhancing cruising speed efficiency. At the same time, the 32 ZF offers a smoother, drier ride than competitive models. The ride softness of the 32 ZF allows it to power through heavier seas, meaning you'll be forging ahead while others are throttling back. This advantage has been proven repeatedly at Southern Kingfish Association tournaments, where more professional anglers choose Donzi than any other brand*.

Broker Comments
This boat has been meticulously maintained by someone who can REALLY afford to take care of a boat. Nothing is done halfway. There's a new set of HUGE Garmin touch-screen finders, the port engine had a new power head installed recently, and this boat has been kept clean and ready to go tooling around - it's had a Lifestyles of the Rich Famous existence.
What Can You Really Expect From This 2003 Donzi?
Worn Out In FANTASTIC , perfectly-maintained condition.
Ragged Out This boat is owned by an older gentleman with nothing to prove to anyone by running his boat to death. It's fast , powerful, and handles like a new boat.
Ugly Sun-Faded This boat has been kept in brackish water and has no accumulation on the bottom of anything but new paint. The electronics are new. The boat gets cleaned extremely regularly and everything onboard shows better than any comparable boat I've seen. The gel coat is showroom-ready on every surface .
It has NOT been fished hard AT ALL . It has NOT been run hard AT ALL . No tournaments, no rough water. It's been babied and taken care of and sat in the fanciest marina you can imagine in an absolutely amazing world-class resort community and been the showpiece in the trophy case of someone who has EXCELLENT taste in vehicles in life.
This is your opportunity to walk into a boat that's priced WAY below what it's worth and get the benefit of someone else doing ALL the work to keep it ready for you to make your next adventure the adventure of a lifetime!

A one-of-a-kind powder coated aluminum guitar with a cool "School bus" finish .
From the classic archtop curves of the body, to the vintage Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, to the distinctive "rivets" front and back, there is simply no other guitar like it. Normandy Guitars are quality made one at a time and are built to stand the test of time from one gig to the next.
Schoolbus" the pigment used in the construction of this model is precisely that used in buses, tractors, and bulldozers! But beyond its color, this model also reminds us of its namesake because of the sheet metal body and the prominent rivets that make it a Normandy. The combination of this blazing yellow-orange hue with it's massive amounts of chrome hardware look incredible!
The powder coated finishes on Normandy guitars are applied using a special "baked-on" finish that is electro-statically bonded to the guitar bodies. The resulting finish is extremely durable and far superior to the standard paint, stain, or varnish typically found on guitars.
The Normandy maple-on-maple and rosewood-on-maple necks are shaped close to what you would find on an old-school jazz guitar"not too fat¦ not too thin. The resonant, chrome finished aircraft-grade aluminum body produces smooth, warm tones that ring true and long. Sustain is increased significantly when compared to that of a conventional wooden guitar body. Normandy "old school" humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets are overwound to 12K ohms for higher output, powerful midrange and driving tone.
This is a deceivingly solid piece of equipment. You may be able to snap the neck, but the body will stand up to the most aggressive punk-inspired outbursts. The Normandy weighs 8.6 lb. which is roughly the same (or less) than most other electric guitars, maintains perfect balance when on a strap, and is so accommodating that you may just be able to go at it all night.
The sound, the look, the feel, the durability and all of extra care taken to perfect this one-of-a-kind guitar, combined with state of the art manufacturing processes equal a guitar that you would expect to cost thousands more than it does. Custom boutique styling and quality that every player can afford¦ that's the best thing of all.
A classic archtop made of aluminum that only weighs 8.6 Lbs.

Where I stayed
Pismo Beach to Los Angeles
Pismo is a nice place, we'd stay here again. Lovely long beach for nice walks and plenty of sunshine (today at least). After last night's good meal we had high hopes for breakfast which wasn't too bad. Watched the oil spill news again, that is really making people annoyed here – quite rightly. Seems to be a right shambles.
Thanks to Alyse for reminding us that the Street of San Francisco cop was of course Karl Malden, which had stumped us before.
So off we set, stopping first in wal-mart as we needed some road trip replenishments. That trail mix we got in SF was no good, too full of odd things like chocolate drops and peanuts
The coast road got foggy again though not far out of Pismo so Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Ventura and Malibu were a bit hard to see. Didn't stop the beach goers though, plenty of surfers and fog bathers along the way. We stopped a few times for pictures and walks but it was a bit fresh! We tried Doctor Radio again but unfortunately we picked a dull topic so that got canned after an hour.
We missed the Otter colony yesterday, not quite sure how, but we looked for it on the map today to see it was 50 miles behind us. Never mind. We did pass a number of 'bird rock' points which were nice to see. Picturesque white and grey rocks with lots of sea birds. Until we wound down the window and realised that the white caps were not rock at all. Moving on quickly….
We stopped off at Denny's for lunch as we hadn't managed to so far, it was surprisingly pleasant
The scenic coast road was not quite as we expected as it dove through a few towns en route but we kept the sea on our right until Santa Monica and then asked Jill for a non freeway route. Pretty easy on one road from the coast into LA. It seems LA is sprawling, 100ish miles across so 'going to LA' is like saying you could be anywhere north of Gatwick and south of Stansted. The one main road through Malibu (a part of the Pacific Coast Highway) for instance has house numbers up to 33,000+ and is 27 miles long. Like everything, it's all quite spread out. We did discover we're back on the Purple Heart trail which we started on so need to find out what that's all about.
The hotel is pretty nice, not far off Rodeo Drive according to the map so probably miles away. We'll see when we try a little stroll tomorrow. We'll try the bus tour for starters and see how we go.
Tea was from Factors Famous Deli across the road. Not sure what it's famous for but the soup was good. We finished off the evening by doing our accounts, checking the bank and updating our spreadsheets. The fun two accountants can get up to knows no bounds. And so to bed.
Oh, and welcome Jen and Bob! Glad you like the cards Amanda. Thanks for all your comments Mums xx
Safe, sound, but with sore eyes…
Mark & Tina

Mng! I agree about LA, I was amazed at how big - not a bit like I imagined! And amazed (again) at your 'accummulation' ......and after only 24 days.......nice room, shame about the view though, still plenty of other things to see.....Loving your blogs, enjoy LA xxxx
