We arrived in the appartment and had to find our way through a bunch of rubbish in the garden. In the hall and stairway were a couple of bicycles parked in a moist envirement where it was hard to breath. Finally in our room we found a dirty bathroom with a mould curtain. Rusty blinds, a dirty sofabed and a rusty toaster, a rusty microwave and one little towel a person. In the kitchen there were no facilities to do the dishes. In one quilt we found a large bloodstain.
After i made a Call to the agency to complain we got extra towels and a cleaning lady came to vacuüm, clean and change the curtain in the bathroom. We stayed because we didn't want to lose more time but i could not recommend this appartment to anyone! The appartment was located in a bad neighbourhood. The only positive point was the distance to the metro station.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
This is the second time i have stayed at this place and in the same room !. I am likely to return to this place again and again. Access to buses and shops is excellent. Sam
This apartment was so so.
The pictures look much nicer than the apartment itself.
The curtains haven seen a washing machine for a very long time.
The window was broken, I called (appears to be just a call centre lady trained to keep clients calm but isn't really helpful) but nothing was done.
You have to organise almost everything you need yourself: no kitchen towels for example.
The DVD player in the TV didn't work. Wifi was ok.
The walls are very thin, you hear EVERYTHING that happens in the house.
There were workers in the house renovating one of the apartments above and one day we didn't even have water. I called again and again no one was there to help. I had to ask the workers myself if they yould turn on the water again for at least an hour to take a shower and use the toilet.
All in all it offered a minimum of everything ... so only rent it if you're willing to deal with the things I mentioned above.
The apartment was clean, spacious and quiet. Well located. I recommend
Our flight was 2 hours late, so when we got to the apartment we were immediately charged 20 pounds for being late. The apartment was smaller than expected from the pictures. The kitchen was very dirty and greasy and hot plates did not work properly. The oven did not work either, so the next day I called the owner to fix it. It took two days to put new plates in and show us switch to the oven which sat behind the microwave, so we could not see it. The water pipes are loose both in the bathroom and in the kitchen and it makes it difficult to open and close it again. The kitchen lacks a chopping board in my opinion. The refrigerator made a noise much about every 10 minutes and you could not make drafts in the room. TV remote missing new batteries like the clock on the wall.
But besides that it was a little charming very old apartment with crooked floors and a lovely bed. If you do not expect too much, it is an okey place to stay.
Not worth the price. I've stayed in cleaner, better serviced & maintained apartments/rooms then 10 Stanley. Its dirty unhygienic it's not worth your money!!! Kitchen /cleaning utensils minimal and I'm not to complain but falsely advertised! No toilet paper or fresh towels supplied.
The location is great, near Notting Hill and Hyde Park. Underground stations, buses and supermarkets are very nearby. Reception was friendly.
The apartment was not what we expected. It is very small and has only the most basic kitchen utensils. No kitchen or tea towel, no hand towels. The "chairs" are two very small plastic stools.
Electricity was complicated: we had to take a stick out of the meter and charge it in the supermarket.
All in all we had a great time in London, but next time we won't stay here again.
Our stay was very enjoyable. The proximity to the train station was only about 5 minutes, and the room was comfortable and satisfied our needs. We had enough room inside to relax. Some minor corrections could be made - no forks in the silverware set; no battery in the wall clock; wifi was inoperative for 2 of the 7 days. These inconveniences were overcome by our trip preparation. All in all, not a bad apartment.
Nice Flat for a short Stay!!! Only the Neighborhood was awkward, we felt not very safe in this part of London.

- Why the United States has failed to establish a comprehensive high-quality child care program is the question at the center of this book. Edward Zigler has been intimately involved in this issue since the 1970s, and here he presents a firsthand history of the policy making and politics surrounding this important debate. Good-quality child care supports cognitive, social, and emotional development, school readiness, and academic achievement. This book examines the history of child care policy since 1969, including the inside story of America's one great attempt to create a comprehensive system of child care, its failure, and the lack of subsequent progress. Identifying specific issues that persist today, Zigler and his coauthors conclude with an agenda designed to lead us successfully toward quality care for America's children.

J Learn Over Time: The Paradox and Potential of Adult Jewish Learning
By Lisa D. Grant, Diane Tickton Schuster
UJA-Federation of New York, November 2009
J Learn, started in 2005, is an adult education program specifically designed to engage Jewish adults living in Long Island. Research conducted on this program has revealed that the populations with the highest likelihood of significant impact are "active" Jews not yet engaged in Jewish learning, moderately involved Jews who lack a religious or Jewish educational background, and clergy and other Jewish professionals. J Learn has been successful with these groups, and the authors make recommendations for the future that include developing learning experiences with immediacy and relevance for a variety of Jews, broadening programs to include more social aspects, strengthening leadership development components, and leveraging learning in key locations as a community-building tool.

My wife and I recently decided we were going to carpet our living room downstairs, and the majority of our upstairs. Mill Creek was our first stop because we saw one of their ads and we wanted more information. Brad met us at the door. He was very friendly throughout our entire experience.
Under dated carpet and decades old padding, my home had a secret...beautiful red oak hardwood flooring that needed to be restored to its original glory. Jimmie (and Edgar and Edgar's crew) did just that. They finished a day earlier than scheduled. I couldn't be more pleased with the results!see more reviews...

Valkyria: Azure Revolution Formally Introduces Ophelia
Princess Ophelia has gotten a rather regal introduction with Valkyria: Azure Revolution's newest trailer, a cute girl who apparently utilizes the power of music to devastate foes, no doubt making many wonder how such a thing is possible – although how such a lovely dress holds up in combat is perhaps the more pressing concern.

Memory is the ability of the brain to store, retain, and subsequently recall information.
Although traditional studies of memory began in the realms of philosophy, the late nineteenth and early twentieth century put memory within the paradigms of cognitive psychology.
In the recent decades, it has become one of the principal pillars of a new branch of science that represents a marriage between cognitive psychology and neuroscience, called cognitive neuroscience.

This might seem like a stretch, but I have a tow vehicle with the 8.1L , and besides the poor fuel mileage, the oil consumption is very high and it rattles like a diesel when it's cold. The engine has about 33000 miles on it so it's not just worn out. i've subscribed to Hot Rod 45 years, and you have always ferreted out the manufactures mistakes. The 8.1 is the "new" design engine, but no one talks about it.I'm hoping someone will kmow how to fix my problems , or can point me to someone who can. This is my first letter in 45 years, please don't let me down boys. :
All these problems are nothing new to GM trucks,but you seem to have gotten the "pick of the litter" as far as troubles go.We have a few HD3500 utility trucks in work,both 7.4L and 8.1L.some use a lot of oil while some dont.When we first got a batch of 7.4L 99 Chevys we had one that emptied the crankcase and blew the engine in under 2000 miles.No smoke,no leaks,just disappearing oil.After that truck blew up they checked the oil in a few other trucks and they had almost no oil in them.Eventualy they used less and less,but we still have some that use a lot,and the 8.1L's burn oil too.The 8.1L isnt really a totally new design.From the head gaskets down it is basically like the Gen 6 454 with more crank in it.As for the cold start knock,a lot of the LS based engines have it including the '99 5.3 that I had which did it from new.They described it as normal.My current '03 6.0 has started doing it in really cold weather but didnt start until after about 40K miles.A friend of mine at the dealership told me that GM admitted to a problem with piston fit,but says it shouldn't cause a longevity problem and wont fix it unless the truck is near new and the customer is almost ready to go to Lemon Law.They fix it by shipping the dealer a new set of pistons and having a tech figure out which pistons are knocking and replacing only the effected pistons with ones that fit a little tighter.My freind told me to not go through this.He said that GM writes the job up to have the tech do it reusing the pistons rings and even the old gaskets,and many of the techs dont even know the proper way to test fit the pistons or even identify the knocker to begin with.JUut like the oil consumption,the knock doesnt effect power.I bought the 6.0 enigne in my HD 2500 because I was told that the 8.1 was a waste of gas and money as an upgrade.It seems to have more low end torque for pulling a heavy trailer at continous high speeds in overdrive,but on acceleration even without a load it is a dog.It also gets bad gas mileage.I have had a bunch of Chevy trucks over the years and aside from my first tow rig which was a conjured up hot rod rig,all of them were stock.My 79 crew cab dually 454 stick 4.56 geared truck got 8 MPG unloaded and about 6 with a 7000# enclosed trailer behind it.My 83 2500 454 auto 4.10 geared Suburban got almost exatly the same.My 99 GMC 1500 got auto with 3.73's 14.5 average unloaded and about 11 with a 5500# open trailer behind it.My '03 6.0l auto HD 2500 4x2 with 4.10's gets 12 unloaded and 9 with a 7500# enclosed trailer on the back.The 8.1L 3500 bucket trucks in work get about 8 MPG on the highway,but weigh about 11,000 unloaded.This is pretty much the average for any brand truck of these weights and displacemnts,so there isnt much you can do about it.From what I hear,the engine to have is the deseil.allison co,mbo,but then I have heard that some Allison transmissions have issues.I guess maybe the answer is to buy a Ford:{
"The 8.1L isnt really a totally new design.From the head gaskets down it is basically like the Gen 6 454 with more crank in it."That is totally incorrect. The 8.1L shares nothing with any previous big block. It was a totally new engine design to replace the 454. It has no provisions for a distributor (like the LS series) and features a new block casting.On the oil consumption, sounds like a problem with the factory seals, and possibly the rings. From the factory most engines have hypereutectic pistons, which are very sensitive to ring gap. On your 8.1L, did you consult the dealership and see fi there was a factory service builletin on the motor? Possibly a factory recall?
They are more similar then you think.THey share the same crank and rods except for the stroke.I did a few strokers using the 8.1 crank in 502 blocks with a .030" overbore.It works with 6.135" rods,but the piston skirts have to be real short like on the 8.1,which BTW shares the same deck height as the 7.4.Factory Roller cams cam be swapped between the 2,and headers are the same if you want to swap one into something.I have worked with both the GM prototype stuff and the production stuff,and had an inside source getting me prototype parts out the back door as early as 1997 because from what I had seen I felt it might have made a good engine for stock head street car classes.The exhaust ports were too low to flow any better then standard OEM bigblock heads such as the 990's,and were very small,but had a lot of room for porting,but not in any useable direction.The intake ports were also small,and placed too low to really make any signifigant improvemnt over the old design of heads.The chamber layout is the same and you can use Mark4 pistons as a way of building up a 8.1,but the downside to this is that you still have good ports and bad ports with some ports leading right into the cylinder wall and requiring too much swirl to flow well with such a small short turn area.Rocker arms and valvetrain parts interchange,which as you can visualize means less head bolts and poorer head gasket sealing for a potential boosted application.The cylinder walls arent siamesed,so you cant really make it much bigger then it already is which is good since the heads dont flow well enough to support the displacemnt it already has.The oil pump still drives off the back of the cam,so the provisions are there to put a distributor in it if you do a little work on the block.I had high hopes for this engine from the intial drawing,but along the way to production it lost a ton of potential.I still tinker around with some of the stuff from time to time,but we sold the best set of heads we had to Pat Musi so he could work on them for aftermarket suppliers.I think the heads could be useful in a pounds per cube class where displacemnt were kind of small as long as the bore were a decent size.You might be able to build one heck of a 415 incher with a 3.5" crank in a 454 with these heads.A front drive distributor would help make it work,but the intake would have to be sheet metal which is a usually not allowed in most "stock head" street car classes..I have played with this engine a bit and wasnt impressed by it much.
I understand about fuel consumption;; I am trying to figure out the oil cunsumption. If you had to guess, would you rebuild the short block with properly fitted pistons or look elsewhere in the engine?
The lifters are most likely colapsed.
This sounds familiar, less the oil problem. I purchassed the 8.1 & Allison as a cheaper route than diesel. They rated GVWR as 24,000 lbs but forgot to mention that Allison would not shift when under load to maintain torque range and not lug, my reason for poor fuel milage.I have been told that this engine can be swapped out for the 502/572, still checking that and pricing. There are as you say no discussions on this engine and its potentual, really would like to know why not as it is used heavy in boating.Wish us both luck in solving our problem.Hay HR how about your input to this problem?
I'd be interested to hear more about 502 swap to replace 8.1. I've noticed that besides boats, the 8.1 seems to be used in higher gvw trucks and some RVs. I'll bet there are some pissed off people in that group.
Now I haven't looked at part numbers or anything...but isn't the 502 and the 8.1 the same engine? At least short block?
-The Silver Buick- '77 Skylark coupe w/ a Fuel Injected Buick 455&TKO-600, '72 Centurion Conv't - 455w/TH400, '67 T-bird 4Dr (suicide) w/428&C6. '69 Firebird replaced!http://www.bangshift.com/forum/index.php?topic=6189.0
Tried to follow up 502 replacing 8.1 looks like a different block/heads. Would likely end up costing to much. So checked with Crane and Comp Cams and found a camshaft from each to used in 8.1. Problem is the specks mean nothing to me. The request was for more bottom end power 1200 - 2800 RPM. Why could not GM have done this propperly as these engines were sold in trucks to do heavy work? 340 HP @ 4200 RPM & TQ @ 3200 RPM, way to high for these requirements. Mine runs around 1800 RPM @ 60 MPR with the Allison 1000 in tow mode, just not in the power range.Cam from Crane is #26HR00021 and Comp was #CB8 XR258 HR12. Has anyone heard of these or used them. Would like to know which would be best for my application, of heavy towing.
No, the short blocks aren't the same. They might have similar dimmensions, but aren't the same design. For instance, the 8.1L crank has a reluctor wheel on it like the LS motors for the timing sensor for the ignition. So, unless you machine this off, that crank won't fit in a Mark IV or Gen V block.
I had the same issue with my 2001 GMC with the small v8. Chevrolet basically laughed at me repetedly. Guess what sold - and wont buy another one!! $# to any maufacturer who doesnt help people who buy their product. I did get to an mechanic at a GMC dealer out in the country and he said it was the pistons, and that they fixed the issue in 2003? The other thing he said the issue was the dish of the piston was prone to deposit build up and also if the rings werent aligned correctly the vehicle would burn oil. So that covers the two issues. Sounds like the still have the same guys assembling the engines, and they dont seem like mechanics - just hourly workers. But as far as buying a FORD - forget it, I replaced the GMC witha MAch1 in 2003 - it had an a/c issue that they tried to fix for over 7 months. Ended up being a $8 valve under the hood - which I pointed out, and this is after they had completely taken out the dash not once but twice, turning this car into a rattling, bolt dropping pile of crap, and the interior parts they broke, they couldnt get the Mach 1 parts to replace them with. Karma is good though, that dealer is gone now. NOw I have a Texas assembled Titan with a bad gas guage and abysmal gas mileage, but loads of power
I have a 2001 Suburban 3/4 ton 4x4 with the 8.1. I bought it used with about 60,000 miles on it. I have driven it for about 25000 miles in a variety if conditions, both empty and towing a 23 foot travel trailer. around town empty I average 10-11mpg, on the highway on a trip last winter I got 14mpg and was totally amazed. Towing the trailer, I usually get 8-9. I must be lucky, because I have heard of these problems you discuss, but have not encountered any as yet (knock on wood). My kids give me no end of grief because they both drive Duramax pickups, but I don't drive enough miles to justify the added expense of the diesel, also, I'm partial to the Suburban. This is my third one, and I like the versatility. My last one was a 95 3/4ton 4x4 with 454, the first was 87 1/2ton 4x4 with 6.2 diesel (can you say no power?). Wish someone would make some performance stuff for this combo. I had a Banks intake and exhaust package on my 95 and was real happy with it. Nothing like that for the 2001/8.1 that I have found.
Gregg and Deb Miller 1968 Chevelle SS396 ConvertibleVerona, Wi HRPT since 1997, Long hauler 2009,2011. Power Tour, as much fun as you can have in a car with your clothes on!
My 2001 Suburban, 2500 4x4, 8.1 with tow package, now with 95,000 miles produces the same mileage (14 highway at 70 to 75 mph, 10-11 mpg around town empty, and 8-9 towing my 25 ft, 5000 lb snowmobile trailer). Uses some oil - about a quart every 1500 miles. When towing, it sure beats my former 97 Suburban, 1500 4x4, 5.7 w/o tow package, which ran one gear lower in any given situation, and produced the same mileage (9 mpg) while towing.The 2500 and 8.1 hardly notice my trailer, while the 1500 5.7 felt overwhelmed. The 1500 was better for empty highway cruising - rode better and got 19 mpg at 75 mph.
Idles like a diesel? Cracked piston crowns? Maybe the oil being burned caused some detonation due to carbon build up and cracked the crowns near the ring lands or something like that? Hypereutectic pistons crack like glass under minimal detonation and as been said, the rings gaps are super sensative. My dad worked at a Chervrolet dealership when the 396's first came out, he said they pulled every top end on every big block car after the first 5,000 because the owner came back saying it burnt too much oil and the rings never sealed. He replaced them and poured Bonami/Gasoline mixture down the carb when they re-fired the engine. Good to go after that. I don't know what the problem is just throwing out ideas.

SITREP (Situation Report) is defined as "an update to an existing report, issued as conditions change or events begin to unfold." Put simply, it's a method of keeping everyone informed.
Now that that is out of the way on to business. . .
So, the Bergevin Lane tasting went very well. Thank you to all of you who attended. Special thank yous go out to Annette and Amber who came and talked and shared wine and food and fun with all of us. Special thank yous to Tim Rogan and Cisca Van Heezik who shard their company their laughter and their grapes. Had it not been for the four afore mentioned individuals none of this would have been possible. I am told the food was pretty good and matched up OK. I can only hope that my food did not take anything away from the wines, which were wonderful. For those of you that missed the tasting, we still have a few wines left. The Princess Syrah (from Tim and Cisca's vineyard) is still available in limited quantities. We also have the amazing Viognier, if you have not yet tried this wine you are going to hate yourself when it is gone. Seriously. We also have a few bottles left of the 2004 Oiu Deux Syrah which is now sold out at the winery. I do not expect any of these wines to hang around for long.
In other news, our UTZ potato chips have arrived. For those of you that know UTZ we have bags in all sizes, we know how you are with these. For those of you that have not tried UTZ chips, what are you waiting for? UTZ is THE best chip out there. Someone commented to me once that they thought potato chips were a bit downmarket for me. To which I replied "you haven't tasted them yet". The thing that make UTZ great is that the chip tastes like, wait for it, potato! Not salt, not grease, just potato. There are three ingredients to UTZ Potatoes, Oil, Salt. No preservatives, no nothing. Just a great chip. We also have the gourmet medley that comes with three flavours and colours.
Monteillet Fromagerie has been gracing us with a few cheeses recently. We will have in stock this weekend fresh chevre, Cardabelle, Provencal, and we still have at least one Le Roi Noir. Their cheeses are always a treat, and we are happy to have some to share. We are breaking into a Neal's Yard cheddar today Lincolnshire Poacher. This one has been ageing for a while and is sure to be very delicious. We also just received a new wheel of Red Leicester which we will be breaking into soon. Stay tuned here for more details. We also have a great supply of fresh Buffalo Milk Mozzarella!
Lots of fresh produce is in right now including Hermiston Melons, Blackberries, Arugula, many fresh herbs (thyme, marjoram, chives), Fresh Basil, and FIGS! Figs are finally here and they are beautiful. Check in frequently as we get new items in everyday.
Lastly, our outdoor seating has been approved by the city, and construction (barring any unforeseen problems) should begin this next week. We will keep you updated here and might just post pictures too. Once the outdoor patio is in we hope to be able to serve wine and beer soon too. Again we will keep you posted as things progress.
As summer winds down and fall approaches we have many new and exciting plans in the works for Salumiere Cesario. Keep your browser pointed here for the latest news and updates. Cheers.

Correct fitting of a prong
20 Attachment(s)
Recently I took our 8.5 month old to a reputable trainer for obedience training. She placed a prong on him to help with the leash pulling but left it loose and connected the leash to both the flat collar and the prong. I questioned it stating that I thought the prong was suppose to fit snugly and be up higher and she said this fitting is fine for now.
After I got home and thought about it more it doesn't make sense to me. The prong doesn't seem to be serving any purpose connected like that. Is it just to get him comfortable with it? I haven't been back for another session yet so I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it.
I should mention all the other exercises she gave me to do were positive reinforcement and NILIF.

I would talk to her first about changing the fit of the collar. I do this sometimes to get a sensitive dog used to the prong.
I agree with David, don't do anything until you talk to the trainer and see if ultimately the goal is to remove prongs once your dog is used to the collar.
20 Attachment(s)
Okay thanks. I wasn't planning on making adjustments myself I was just curious if others were familiar with introducing the prong in this way and if so what the rationale is.
Thanks again for your responses :)

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Centrally located for all Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington activities!
Imagine parking your car upon arrival and never having to worry about driving for the rest of your trip! This lovely, beach side 2-story condo is literally *steps* to both the ocean and the quaint downtown area of Wrightsville Beach providing our travelers with everything they could need for a memorable vacation!
Newly renovated in 2008 with an open, family-friendly living area, you can prepare your gourmet meal in our kitchen complete with granite counter tops, custom cabinets, full size refrigerator/freezer with automatic ice maker, full-size range/oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal, pots/pans, a full-array of utensils and dinnerware, coffeemaker and blender.
Enjoy your morning cup of coffee overlooking the ocean from the large picture window in our breakfast nook, or watch a colorful sunset from 1 of 2 spacious balconies
If you prefer to be waited-on, downtown Wrightsville Beach is a mere 100 steps away (1 block), where you will find an eclectic array of restaurants, bars, grocery store and shops suitable for every traveler.
And, let's not forget about the beach! Only one property back from the beach (40 steps), enjoy Wrightsville Beach's blue water and white sand. Lounge quietly at your leisure or contact one of several water sport companies renting everything from kayaks to surfboards to parasailing. At the end of the day, you can wash off the sand and surf in the outdoor shower and foot wash located on the lower level of the condo.
Comfortably sleeping 8 guests, this townhouse-style condo is the right side of a duplex and consists of 3 Bedrooms (2 twin beds, 2 queen beds and 1 king bed), each bedroom with their own full bath.
The condo also provides our guests with a 36' Flat screen TV in the Den complete with cable and DVD player, 2 large balconies with fabulous beach and ocean views, wood-burning fireplace, cable TV in every bedroom, central heat and a/c, 3 tile bathrooms (1 with stand-up shower, 2 with tub/shower combo), full-size washer and dryer, clothing iron, a highchair for a child, and Wi-Fi internet service. Weekly rentals from Friday to Friday, nightly rentals available during non-summer dates.
We appreciate you taking the time to consider our little bit of paradise at Wrightsville Beach. Please come and enjoy all this beautiful condo and area has to offer!
Wilmington, NC residents, living throughout beautiful North Carolina for the last 20 years.
Audrey Edwards purchased this condo in 1992
Location, location, location! Wrightsville Beach really does offer something for every traveler - our particular unit is in the best location possible with a mere 40 steps to the beach and 100 steps to Wrightsville Beach's downtown! You can relax in the sand and then easily walk to one of many fantastic restaurants for lunch or dinner.
We have stayed at Ida house for several years now. Couldn't ask for a better location. Steps from the beach at a great price. Owners are very accommodating if you have a problem with almost immediate solutions. Nice upgrades to flooring this year! Always our go to place at Wrightsville Beach.
Great house with plenty of room for friends and family. The beach ocean views are great and access to the beach is quick, which makes spending the day on the beach easy. There was here dryer and full kitchen make a week away from hime easy. And if you need supplies or just don't feel like cooking local shops and resteraunts are a one block walk away. We've booked the Ida House several times and always look forward to going back.
Our family or other family members have stayed at Ida House for our family reunion for many many years. We love the location, one house back from the beach, as well as only minutes to walk to the bars, restaurants and shops on Lumina. We plan to continue to rent Ida House for our reunion, and have had other family members indicate they would jump on it if we decided otherwise.
This place was perfect for our family. You are literally steps from the beach and from several restaurants, shops, etc. We would set up our stuff on the beach in the morning, and could come and go from the house for food, drinks, naps, sunscreen, etc. I totally underestimated the convenience of the close location, even above houses just a block or two from the beach.
The house gives you all the flexibility you want. We ate most lunches at the house, ate out most nights but even had one nice dinner at home with plenty of space and cookware/utensils to do so. We brought toys, fishing gear, chairs, etc. and could bring them to the beach when we wanted and then keep them under the house when we weren't using them. You get the logistical benefit of being on the water without the expense.
The only thing to consider when looking at this house is whether or not you want to be on Wrightsville Beach. It's pretty busy, but mostly houses/duplexes versus large condo's and hotels so not too busy.
We enjoyed our stay at the Ida House! It was very clean and up to date. The rooms were huge. Just steps away from the beach. I recommend to anyone planning a trip to Wrightsville Beach.
Merodie, Iron Station, NC
We are now a family of 6 adults and stay at Wrightsville Beach every year. This has such a great location to beach, grocery and dining. If you enjoy relaxing at the beach with a good book, or taking
an early morning run or walk, or watching the boats on the sound, this is the best of everything. Once
you get your groceries there is no need to get back in the car until you are ready to go home. Literally just steps from the beach, it was much closer than the oceanfront property we had been staying at the last 6 years. With 3 baths, full laundry, well equipped kitchen and this beautifully decorated home, we had the best of everything!
We are located one property back from the beach and one-block from the quaint downtown of Wrightsville Beach where you can walk to shops, restaurants and a grocery store.
Other Activities: Boating, Shopping, Health/Beauty Spa, Basketball Court, Kayaking, Shelling,
Golf: There are several private and public golf course in the immediate area.

PAWS Pet of the Week: Meet Cymba & Slim
PAWS Pet of the Week: Meet Cymba & Slim!
Pick an orange (or two)! Cymba & Slim are handsome orange one-year-old brothers. Formerly feral, these boys, their mom and two siblings, Monte & Patch (posted separately) wandered into a garage one day and made it their home base. The kind homeowner fed them, trapped them, had them vetted & neutered and now hopes to find them a loving home, or two.
Cymba & Slim have healthy appetites and are very active and inquisitive. They are learning to love and trust humans. Both brothers will sometimes let you pick them up, do figure eights between your legs and flop down for tummy rubs. Cymba & Slim love to be petted and promise to make you very happy. Pick an orange or two and juice up your life!
If you're interested in Cymba and/or Slim, please contact PAWS at 440-442-PAWS or visit www.pawsohio.org.

Installed the Cobb SF Intake and went Stage 1 this morning.
For whatever reason, the Feedback Knock, that presented itself shortly at -1.4, didn't show up in Excel. No Fine Knock whatsoever, but a couple random occurrences, of Feedback Knock. Once, after a very hard run in and out of traffic, showed up at -2.8, but that may have been due to hammering on and off the throttle. Everything SHOULD be ok for a while.
Aside from all that, I'm very pleased with Stage 1, and am looking forward to the Downpipe coming in next week. Sweetness.

The majority of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is caused by risk factors that can be controlled, treated or modified, such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, overweight/obesity, tobacco use, lack of physical activity and diabetes. However, there are also some major CVD risk factors that cannot be controlled.
In terms of attributable deaths, the leading CVD risk factor is raised blood pressure (to which 13 per cent of global deaths is attributed), followed by tobacco use (9 per cent), raised blood glucose (6 per cent), physical inactivity (6 per cent) and overweight and obesity (5 per cent).1
Modifiable risk factors:

Non-modifiable risk factors
In addition to the modifiable risk factors, there are some risk factors that cannot be changed. However, people in these high-risk categories should receive regular check-ups.

Recently, Mark Zuckerberg announced and commented on Facebook reaching one billion users. Much more interesting than Mr. Zuckerberg's brief note is the fact sheet that accompanies his commentary. You can download the fact sheet here to see characterisics of Facebook's billion users and see how those characteristics have progressed since 1997.
Forget the Clicks? Speaking of progressing, Facebook has announced that they'll be releasing data that illustrates the value of measuring ad effectiveness beyond just click rates. Instead of focusing solely on click rate as a the metric for success, Facebook data will examine the value of brand impression and audience relevancy. See Facebook's plan for brand advertising.

Premiering this weekend on HBO was last years action thriller, "Hanna".
Directed by Joe Wright and starring Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchette, "Hanna" is the story of a very special young girl. Raised in isolation in the woods by her father (Bana), Hanna is trained in combat, languages, and survival skills.
Directed with style and scored with a wide variety of international music, "Hanna" is a captivating film. Perhaps the best way to describe it is art house meets action film.

Next Gen: Highlighting early literacy during Children's Book Week
Children's Book Week (May 12-18) is a fun time to check out new book titles, but an emphasis on early literacy should be a priority always.
According to the National Early Literacy Panel, early literacy skills have a consistent and strong relationship to conventional reading skills such as decoding, oral reading, fluency, reading comprehension, writing, and spelling. Early educators know of the importance of early literacy and work to integrate a number of literacy activities into preschool classrooms.
Though early childhood educators can foster early literacy development, it's imperative that parents also incorporate books, reading, and other literacy-related activities into a child's home life.
Gayla Jones, Waynesville mom to Coleman, 8, and Kennedy, 4, has been reading to her children since they were infants.
"We started reading to Coleman when he was a baby. He got so excited he would practically tear the pages out of the book. We did the same with Kennedy because we were reading with Coleman every night. We just added another listener to the group," said Jones.
According to leading researchers in the field of reading, it's never too early to begin reading to a child. The brain grows and develops most rapidly in the first five years of a person's life; therefore, this is a critical time for literacy exposure.
"I think time spent reading with your children is so valuable," said Jones. "It is 10-15 minutes out of the day to sit down, relax, watch their faces light up, laugh, giggle, and be happy."
While parents and children bond over books, the brain is learning and making connections that will impact a child's future reading and academic success. Every subject area requires reading, so when children are strong readers, they tend to perform better in every subject, not just reading or language arts.
Allison Lee, owner of Blue Ridge Books in downtown Waynesville, said, "Why would a child think reading is important if he never sees his parents reading? A great activity suggested to me by a teacher is DEAR (Drop Everything and Read).
It's a great idea to set aside a time for the family to do nothing but read. It can be just 15 minutes, but it's relaxing and shows children the importance of reading."
Many reading and literacy activities are simple and free. Merely talking with children and using good vocabulary helps foster literacy and language development.
Whether from a child's school library or from the local public library, it's important for parents to ensure books are always around and to create a scheduled time to read each day.
"I think both Coleman and Kennedy have learned how important it is to read and explore their imaginations," said Jones. "I truly hope that our family reading time is as special to my kids as it is to Bill and me and that they will carry on this tradition."
Children's Book Week is a yearly event that focuses on early literacy and children's book titles. Information about the week with corresponding activities can be found at www.bookweekonline.com.
Many parents are unsure of what books to check out for their children. A child's teacher or librarian, the public librarian, or a bookstore owner are all great resources when it comes to checking out or purchasing appropriate titles.
"There is an endless list of titles," said Lee. "Asking the child's teacher for summer suggestions is always a good idea, so that children can practice at the correct reading level. I'm always ready to make suggestions as well. Children are about to hit the soccer field and one of the new picture books is 'Betty Bunny Wants a Goal' by Michael B. Kaplan. For older children, 'The Girl from Felony Bay' by J.E. Thompson is still very popular."
The Jones children love the Pinkalicious series and the Junie B. Jones series. Scholastic flyers that are sent home with students also offer a variety of titles and genres. Parents need to learn their children as readers and know what types of books and genres their children enjoy. This will make selecting books easier and more fun.
"We know that reading to a young child helps them learn to read later on and develops their imagination," said Lee, "but don't forget about how the time spent together also strengthens the parent's relationship with the child."

The student athletes who have run the required races and followed the rules must wonder about the fairness of this situation. Many of the other students are comitted to running- not soccer. This feels wrong.

So what's up with Sarah? Her name wasn't in the results. Seems odd if she's sick again after just getting her medical signed.

Date of Stay: April, 2013
HUGE speed bumps. Impossible to go around them. Our boat trailer bottoms out going over them.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Nice Park! New. Trees are still small, so not much shade. Quiet. Loved it.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Only stayed in this park three days. Trashy mobile homes are mixed in with RV sites. Dogs constantly barking, chasing walkers and cars. Stayed a month here several years ago. Much quieter then.

If you have alkaline soil then make sure the planting hole is deep with a good base of moisture holding organic matter. Magnolias prefer acid soil but most types will do fine in mildly alkaline soil provided they have plenty of moisture until they are well established.
Sorry David - pipped at the post!
Next person to post will be the 100th posting! I reckon over 70 of us have made the journey so far, which is very heartening. And the more I see of the site the more I like it. I posted a query on this thread about uploading photos and the editor (no less!) replied within an hour, which was rather jaw dropping. I expect we'll see a lot more piccies of our favourite plants, problem pests etc than we did on the old Beeb site. I'm glad the Bee pulled the plug, otherwise We'd all still be stuck in the 19th century!
Many thanks, Alina and Daniel!
Thanks Alina, but I have been able to do that ok. (My avatar is an image from 'Avatar' - thought I'd be clever - No?) What I can't do is find a way of uploading directly into a message, and can't find the 'scrapbook' that I have seen mentioned.
Help, Neatbush, Lorea, Geoff, or anyone else that knows the answer....
How did you upload your photo? I can't find anywhere on the site that allows you do this. I can't find my scrapbook either. I am probably being really dumb!!
HI Swedboy!
Gary, as far as I can see the direct upload facility is 'coming shortly' . Am I missing something?
Hi Lisa,
On this site you can tell that for every reply there may be 50 or more views, so I guess there will be lots of boarders like you - friends we just haven't met yet!
Geoff, Goldilocks was already taken. I was offered Goldilocks2, but really!!!!!!!
Several actions you can take, preferably doing all of them:
1. add lots of organic matter, such as well rotted manure. You will need a lot more than you will get from your compost heap. Not only is it a good fertilizer, but it also conditions your soil, which means it stops tiny clay particles from clagging together, which is important for drainage in winter and moisture retention in summer.
2. Add lots of sharp sand. Not builders sand, which has salts in it which can harm plants. This improves drainage and makes the soil more workable.
3. Add lime or gypsum. The chemistry is complicated, but this conditions the clay soil like organic matter, stopping clay particles from binding together. Lime will make your soil more alkaline, so if you don't want this then use gypsum, which has no effect on soil acidity. Buy builders plaster, which is practically 100% gypsum (except colouring) and is a lot cheaper than horticultural gypsum.
You can get sharo sand and plaster from your local merchant. And whatever amount of manure, sand and gypsum you think you are going to need, treble it!! You can't add enough, and its a lot harder to work in more after you have planted up.
I used a rough ratio of 6:3:1 manure, sand and gypsum. I have found a local horselover who collects horse manure from her paddock by hand (gloved!) so no straw - 50p a large bag!!!!!.

Today's guest post is from Marj Hatzell.
I've got a secret and I'm gonna tell you because I'm awesome like that. And it won't be a secret anymore but hey! Humor me! Pretend it's all scandalous and No waaaaay and stuff. I'm a fragile little flower and my emotional balance depends on it. Well, that and caffeine. But humor me, mmkay?
My husband is a Dukes fan. I KNOW. No, not the royalty-in-Britain kind. The General-Lee-Driving Kind. He's a car guy and he's also a small-town-rural type of guy. No doubt he should have been reared in the South in Georgia or Tennessee with his Uncle (no, he really has family down there. But it's Uncle Kenny, not Uncle Jesse) instead of the big, bad city suburbs of Philadelphia with his culture-loving mother and grand mother. I'm fairly certain that at one time, he had a relative that drove a wrecker, too (that's what they call them down below the Mason-Dixon Line, y'all). Though there was no hot cousin in booty shorts. I think.
Dude loves cars. LOVES THEM. He knows more about cars than I know about my own elbow. That's saying something because my elbow? I spend tons of time with it, rubbing lemons and lotion on it and stuff. What, you don't rub lemons on it? It's supposed to be good for them. But really I just like to pretend I do something healthy for my skin and lemons are fruit and fruit are healthy! Yeah!
Where was I? Right. Cars.
So he likes cars. Since we've been together (fifteen years of marriage and four years of dating. That's like, nineteen years, for those of you not good at math) we've owned, and I kid you not, eleven cars. And before that, he owned eleven cars. That's twenty two cars, if you're not good at math. Twenty-two cars. In nineteen years. That's a lot of cars (NO! Silly, not all at the same time!) And every two years or so I cringe because I know IT is coming. Obsessive Internet car shopping. Driving by car lots on Sundays when no one is there. The yearly new car show. That's when all signs point to, "I think I'm going to trade this one in and get _____." But we've never owned a Charger (the Duke Mobile), which is pretty much mandatory if you are going to live like a Duke. We haven't owned one YET, that is. SOMEONE I know was lingering near the new Chargers for an awfully long time at the car show last week. And I may or may not admit to the fact that we've owned just a few jeeps.
And in case you're all, "So what? My husband likes cars, too!" I'll prove we're living in the parallel Duke Universe by casually mentioning that our older son? Is named Luke. That's right. He was gonna be Andrew and I liked Luke (because I'm an obsessive Star Wars Fan. Yes, I'm a nerdy geek) and the husband was all, "Sure! Luke!" And when I surprisingly became preggers with number two? He suggested Bo. And I said, "Oh. HAHAHA! Good one!" And he was all, "What? I'm not joking! And if it's a girl, what about Daisy?" AND HE WAS TOTALLY SERIOUS. And I liked Daisy because I like flowers and thought that would be cute. But it was a boy. And we named him Ian because I knew my kids would face a lifetime of ridicule being named after moonshine-running cousins. Who can't ever leave the county. Unless they jump a washed out bridge over the gully.
And if that isn't enough proof that we've got a Duke problem, the puppy we got in August? HER NAME IS DAISY.
Marj isn't a writer but she plays one on TV. She's a Domestic Engineer,Total Babe, and SAHM of two boys with Autism, ADHD and a variety of other acronyms. Marj was picked last for dodge ball in grade school, was a band geek (she played the flute, and one time, at band camp…), and prefers dogs more than people, which means she has STELLAR social skills.You can find her at her non-paying day job, the wildly unsuccessful blog The Domestic Goddess, at Twitter, and on Facebook.

On the Convergence of the Modified Riccati Equation

The modified Riccati equation arises in the implementation of Kalman filter in target tracking under measurement uncertainty and it cannot be transformed into an equation of the form of the Riccati equation. An iterative solution algorithm of the modified Riccati equation is proposed. A method is established to decide when the proposed algorithm is faster than the classical one. Both algorithms have the same behavior: if the system is stable, then there exists a steady-state solution, while if the system is unstable, then there exists a critical value of the measurement detection probability, below which both iterative algorithms diverge. It is established that this critical value increases in a logarithmic way as the system becomes more unstable.

Great holiday spend at Faye and Ken's home! Always there to help us for anything, very kind and interesting people. We learn a lot about Australian's culture, their way of life and their family. A pleasure to share this moment with them, like the BBQ time, breakfast and the night near of the chimney. The house is really beautiful, there's a lots of space and it's very clean. We recommend you to go there if you want to feel like home and enjoy each time of your trip! Thank you again for everything Ken and Faye, see you soon :)
It was our first time in australia and they welcomed us with open arms. Everbody say that the australian are very cordial and they are the best example. Because of their great hospitality and their helpfulness.
We felt like in a new home for to use the kitchen, the interessting talk, the daily breakfast and more.
We enjoyed our stay by Faye and Ken.
Thank you so much. We hope to see you again.
Faye and Ken are wonderful hosts. Although we spent only twice one night at their house we felt like home. The mattress was one of the best on our whole vacation. We had nice and interesting discussions about Australia. They even shared their experiences from Tasmania and New Zealand with us. We will definitely stay there once again. Ken thanks a lot for everything!
We enjoyed being guests at Fayes and Kens house in Melbourne. Unfortunately we could stay only two days but within this time we learned a lot about the Australian hospitality especially Faye and Kens. Never before we felt to be at home so quickly in a foreign country thousand kilometer far away from home. They showed us the places to go and gave us a lot of very good advices. We also recognized that different themes like family, nature, health and work connect people and bring them together. Thank you for this experience. We wish to come back because we leave Australia melancholy. There is a lot to see for us. Best regards from Renate and Ulrich / Rheinland/ Germany
It was the first time that we, Kathi and me, stayed somewhere with wimdu but if all hosts are at least similar to Faye and Ken, I'll use it more often.
It was more a family stay than a host! Faye and Ken helped us wherever they could with finding the right way or even with picking us up at the tram station by night. I really wanna say thank you for your kindness and your big help! :)
The room was comfortable and we even had our own bathroom and toilet. Im addition they offered free breakfast which we enjoyed a lot as it was another chance to have a chat with Faye and Ken aswell in the evening when we got back.
We definitely enjoyed our stay at your home, Faye and Ken, and we recommend it for everyone who is even looking for more then just a nice bed.
Kind regards, Astrid and Kathi
We thank you once more Ken and Faye for the great hospitality!It was all awesome: their support, help and patience with us! We hope to see them again!
It was our first stay about wimdu. My boyfriend Joe and I enjoyed the time with Ken and Faye. They are both very friendly and helpful. It felt a little like home. We thank you and recommend you.
We stayed for 3 nights at Ken and Faye's place and it was really great. It was the first time we used Wimdu and with this wonderful experience we don't think we will have a better one the next time.
They are so kind, helpfull and hospitable. They have a lovely place and if you are lucky you can see kangaroos from your window when you wake up!
It felt like a home far a way from home.
We can recommend this place to everybody.
Ein Paradies!!! Herzensgute, liebevolle und sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Ein traumhaftes und wunderschoenes Haus. Wir sind sehr dankbar, dass wir Ken und Faye kennenlernen durften und werden unseren - wenn auch kurzen - Aufenthalt bei Ihnen nie vergessen. An dieser Stelle Euch beiden nochmals ein herzliches Dankeschön.
Paradise on earth!!! Lovely and most helpful people. Their home is a dream. When you come to Melbourne this is the place to be and stay.
We will never forget our wonderful time by Faye and Ken. Thanks to you both again. We'll be happy to see you again sometime soon.

I am trying to get some advice on a email conundrum that I am stuck in. I am a small business owner with 3 people in my company and we own and operate 4 different websites in the online educational training realm. I am located up in Northern California and the other 2 employees are located in Southern California. I need the ability to manage 15 different email addresses, but have some of them accessible by the other employees. Here is what I have looked at and the limitations that I have found:
- Outlook - I have used this pretty much all of my life, but there are issues with different ISPs blocking the outgoing mail ports. I was able to send and receive from our SoCal office, but I can't do it from my NorCal office.
- Outlook Web Access - I am on a trial of this, but they will only let me connect 5 IMAP accounts to one user. As far as I know this solution won't work for what I need
- Gmail - I can use this for up to 10 IMAP accounts, but that is it.
I could probabally pare down the email addresses with some creative forwarding on the server side, but I still want to keep things simple.
Any thoughts on how to make Outlook or tweak OWA for my situation?

text: I know a lot of srt posts have come up. I have raced four so far with my 06 and have beat them without a problem. I wouldn't even say it was neck to neck because I have won by anywhere from 1-3 car lengths. I was just wondering how fast the srts are supposed to be. I have allways been told that they are faster than the wrx but I have not been able to prove this theory. Of course my wrx is still stock and the srt's were stock. Can someone shed some light on this topic for me?

Australia captain Stirling Mortlock returns to outside centre after recovering from a shoulder injury which kept him out of the pool victories over Fiji and Canada.
Rookie fly-half Berrick Barnes and scrum-half George Gregan return to the side after being rested for the Canada game.
Connolly said the need to play a "slightly tighter game" prompted the selection of the versatile Ashley-Cooper, who starred on the wing.
But he said: "It was a points decision. Adam did very well in the All Blacks game (scoring a try in Australia's win). Drew has also done very well this tournament."
Connolly insists England are one of the Wallabies' major World Cup threats and told his side they must improve for Saturday's Marseille showdown.
"England are a very dangerous team. Their set-piece has been their cornerstone for many years and they have incredible speed out wide and a number 10 (Jonny Wilkinson) who steers them around exceptionally well," he said.
"When you look at our results through the pool games you would have to say we're pretty happy with where we're at.
"But we're very conscious that we have to improve considerably on that to go any further in the tournament."
Australia team to play England in the World Cup quarter-final in Marseille on Saturday: C Latham; A Ashley-Cooper, S Mortlock (capt), M Giteau, L Tuqiri; B Barnes, G Gregan; M Dunning, S Moore, G Shepherdson, N Sharpe, D Vickerman, R Elsom, G Smith, W Palu.
Replacements: A Freier, A Baxter, H McMeniman, S Hoiles, P Waugh, J Huxley, D Mitchell.
