This our second vacation home. We have others in Vista Del Lago.
Carl & Lynn purchased this house in 2015
We have more room than a hotel. Plus it was always cheaper.
Everything was a described , neat clean and tidy .Carl and Lynn were very responsive to my calls or messages . Check in and check out were very easy . Carl was flexible on check out time which was very nice of him . The pool was very close for the kids to go there walking . The location of this property is centered and close to everything that we needed and to all the places we wanted to see and visit .
My only note is that if the mattresses were more comfortable especially the master room mattress it would have been a perfect place .
I'm not sure where to start - the ants, the uncomfortable beds or the fact that the owners did not seem to care when I contacted them about the situation. I would not recommend.
The house was very clean and ready for our arrival. the check-in process was seamless. very nice community, would definitely consider renting again.
Excellent value for your money. House is small and cozy,gives you a home feeling. Very clean, and great location. Pool across the street was the cherry on the top. Would definitely stay here again, no question
Enjoyed my stay at this cozy little home. The great location and proximity to the attracrions, pharmacies and super mares were convenient. Although I was visiting because I was in a wedding all my free time was spend soaking up the sun at the beautiful pool. I would recommend this home for anyone whose visiting Davenport and doesn't have loads of money. Best value for your money
This house was a very good deal and just what we needed for our vacation. The location is not in the middle of the Disney/Universal scene but is VERY close and easy to get to those big places. There are many places near by to grocery shop or go out to eat. There were three of us but we could have fit one or two more. The kitchen/laundry amenities were a great help and, even though we didn't use it, the pool and club house was very nice. However, the only issue we had were the beds. They were very, very uncomfortable and I have already sent a note to the owner suggesting they get new mattresses or at least thick mattress pads. Other than that, it was great.
Disney World is 10 miles, Sea World is 15 miles, Universal is 20 miles away

I chose an epidural for my first one after 8 hours in labor and it was a good thing. I needed an emergency C-section and it took 5 minutes for the baby to come out from the moment the decision was made. If I had chosen not to have one they would have had to either knock me out of give me the epidural, wait for it to work, and then do the C-section. If I had not have it, I may not have a beautiful 23 year old daughter today. For my second one I asked for it the second I walked into the hospital and had an emergency c-section again. To me it was more of a preventive measure.
They say that there are too many c-sections done, but in my case I couldn't give birth naturally because of the shape of my bones. The third one was a c-section immediately.

Jeep.com gives you a good exterior picture of a Latitude. Very few interior pics. Of those, they have been Trailhawks and Limited's with that crazy blue leather.
Re: 2014 Cherokee Latitude
I asked Jeep to post more photos on the FB page but they just republished the link to the Jeep site. Yeah I'd like to see good photos of the cloth interiors.

Palm Springs Woman and Children Living "In-Hiding"
Family lives in fear after a threat to kill them at a Palm Springs Middle School
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - A Palm Springs woman and her two children are living "in-hiding", fearing for their lives, after the man closest to them allegedly threatened to kill them, at a Palm Springs middle school. It's been a family struggle for 18 years, but the victim is finally finding the strength to tell her story, in the hopes of starting a new life for her, her son and daughter.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and the images of bruises Veneta Nikilova suffered, after her common-law husband Bassam Raei allegedly threw things at her, show what can happen over and over again, when a woman feels like she doesn't have a voice. But now, Veneta says he has hurt her and their two kids for the last time.
After a hearing today, regarding a restraining order, Veneta declined to go on-camera, but in a statement to the court she said:
"For about 18 years I had to live with this man whom I'm not even married, out of fear and yes, it took me a long time to find the courage to step up for my freedom and the well-being of the kids, but when you are told constantly that you will be killed if you don't obey him, pretty much like a slave, I think that's understandable."
Veneta took the kids and went into hiding on September 2nd, while Bassam was out of town. The next night, when he returned home to find his family gone, he left this voicemail, in Bulgarian for Veneta, "If I come back and don't find you here tomorrow I will wait for you at the school and you'll see what happens then."
A half hour later, Veneta's mother left her this frantic message, after a call from Bassam, "That guy is crazy, crazy, crazy! He said bullet in the kids, bullet in you, in your head, bullet in his head. Where are you my little girl, where are you?"
Private Investigator, Luis Bolanos tells us, "In that phone call he asked the mother to pass the message on to her daughter saying that if she did not come home with the kids immediately, that he would go down to Raymond Cree Junior High with a gun and shoot both children, her and possibly himself and he was prepared to do that the following day."
Palm Springs PD was notified of the threat and Bassam was taken into custody within 20 minutes. His bail was increased to $250,000.00, but within a few days bail was dropped. We called the palm springs police department and they told us when they turned the case over to the D.A.'s office, it was rejected and sent back to them for further investigation. Bassam was released.
Bolanos says, "Unfortunately, the family and two children are still in hiding. They have a legitimate fear for their life."
Veneta went to investigator, Luis Bolanos to conduct a criminal investigation. He tells us Bassam was deported in 2008, for 9 months and now he uses this false international driver's license, with his brother's name and his own picture, originally obtained in Syria. On September 14th, Bassam was served with a substitute restraining order. At this morning's hearing on the restraining order, the judge ruled he has to be served again directly, but the original order is still in effect, while Veneta and her two kids wait for peace of mind.
Bolanos says, "She wants to make a change in her life. She wants to live."

Am I a possible candidate for a mini tummy tuck?
Doctor Answers 6
Mini tummy tuck vs full tummy tuck
Web reference: http://www.vincentleporemd.com
Am I a possible candidate for a mini tummy tuck?
Thank you for the question, but without viewing pictures, online consultants will not be able to give you specific enough advice to be truly meaningful. Generally speaking, in my opinion, the mini tummy tuck is an operation that produces very limited results and is very rarely indicated. It involves a shorter incision but does not address the majority of the abdominal wall issues present for most patients who present for consultation. For example, the area of skin excised is quite small. The abdominal wall musculature is addressed below the umbilicus leaving the upper number wall potentially lax. The appearance of the umbilicus is not necessarily addressed sufficiently.
For most patients who have had pregnancies and/or weight loss a full abdominoplasty is necessary to achieve the desired results. Of course, there are downsides (including a longer scar and probably a longer recovery time) but for most patients the benefits outweigh the downsides. It is not unusual to see patients who've had mini tummy tuck surgery present for revisionary surgery.
Again, generally seeking, it is important for patients seeking abdominal contouring surgery to work with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to obtain advice (based on good ethics and judgment) to improve their chances of a successful outcome and minimize the need for further surgery.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

This is yet one more example of just how childish and unprofessional these partisans disguised as "objective" reporters are -- and it gives you a hint of what Romney's been up against throughout this entire campaign. Not just from the likes of BuzzFeed, and they're bad enough, but from a media atmosphere so stacked against Romney and in favor of Obama that anyone pretending to be an "objective" journalist can feel comfortable popping off like this.
It's also a look at how comfortable these elitist jerks are behaving this way amongst themselves when they think no one is listening. I have no issues with reporters joking around, but it's no coincidence that you never ever hear this kind of thing coming from the "objective" media about President Obama.
But it wouldn't be fair to single Coppins out. Accidentally, he just proved once again who 99% of these people are, and why they must be defeated. Coppins isn't the problem. If he was, he wouldn't have felt that his childish wishful thinking would be amusing to his peers.
This is reminiscent of what we heard from David Chalian, the former Yahoo News political director fired for saying Mitt and Ann Romney are "happy to have a party when black people are drowning."
McKay Coppins@mckaycoppins
Looks like my snide comment, caught on livestream, was wrong: Romney got the tone just right at this event in Dayton.
A hot mic is the only thing that trumps too much booze when you really want to know what is on someone's mind.

1) Time is running out for David Moyes
The sorry truth for David Moyes is that it is getting worse, not better. Manchester United's crowd may have held off from turning against the team but everything else is going wrong and there is still the distinct possibility of at least more grievous setback over the coming games. On Wednesday, Moyes's team face Olympiakos with a 2-0 deficit from the first leg of their Champions League tie. To put that into context, United have won only one home game all season by more than three goals, and that was a Capital One Cup tie against an uninterested Norwich City side in October. West Ham are the opponents at the weekend and then it is Manchester City at home next Tuesday. For Moyes, tactically out-thought by Brendan Rodgers and incapable after this latest ordeal of offering any plausible explanation, the worry must be how long the supporters can hold their patience.

2) Mourinho might get his way over referee Foy
If José Mourinho gets his way, Chris Foy's employers, Professional Game Match Officials Limited, will "analyse" the matches that the referee has taken charge of involving Chelsea over the last few years and come to the conclusion that he should not be officiating any more of the club's fixtures. The dismissals of Willian (harsh) and Ramires (as clear a red card as you could wish to see) in Saturday's damaging 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa means that Foy has sent off six Chelsea players, as well as Mourinho, in his last eight matches involving the London club. "Maybe it is helpful that the [PGMOL] committee doesn't send him to our matches," Mourinho suggested at Villa Park. The reality, of course, is that clubs are in no position to draw a line through a referee's name and tell the PGMOL to keep the official well away from them. A few months ago Southampton tried going down that path with Mark Clattenburg, after making a formal complaint about comments the referee was alleged to have made to Adam Lallana in December, but the official was cleared of any wrongdoing and he has since taken charge of one of their matches. Officially, the PGMOL will adopt the same stance with Foy, although it is also a fair bet that when officials are being allocated games between now and the rest of the season, the Merseyside referee will not be anywhere near a Chelsea fixture. In other words, Mourinho will probably get what he wants. Stuart James
• Match report: Aston Villa 0-1 Chelsea
• Mourinho's 'uncaring' claims not supported by the facts
3) Arsenal urgently need a new striker
It has been pointed out often this season that Arsenal have only one top class centre forward. How can a team with just the one top class striker, the punditry class have demanded to know, hope to compete for honours? How can this possibly have been allowed to happen? Is it not an example of extreme managerial debauchery/secretly quite funny that after seventeen years in the job and an endlessly multi-tiered planning process, Arsene Wenger has managed to assemble a squad containing eleven international class midfielders capable of playing in the Wenger-catnip inside forward role, but only one central striker?
Actually it's worse than that, as at times recently Arsenal have almost seemed to be playing with no strikers at all. At White Hart Lane Olivier Giroud played not so much as a false nine as a bogus nine, scarcely affecting the game at all, occasionally breaking into an almost-sprint and generally looking a shadow of the striker who scored eight goals in his first twelve matches and had seemed so brilliantly capable as a conduit through which Aaron Ramsey in particular could forage close to goal. Since the end of November Giroud has five goals in 15 Premier League games which, in tandem with Yaya Sanogo's failure to score in six Arsenal appearances to date adds up to a centre forward shaped hole, not to mention a huge amount of goalscoring weight on the shoulders of that midfield. Giroud in particular has been a game and effective lone striker, but he looks tired and distracted, and when he's short of his best, even quite ordinary.
By way of contrast, and proof given the scoreline that football can be a perverse game, Emmanuel Adebayor was the best player on the pitch at White Hart Lane, linking the play athletically and hurling himself at Spurs' barrage of long passes. It has of course been a fraught few weeks, with the latest update chez Giroud suggesting his wife Jennifer has insisted on a move back to France where, apparently, nobody in public life ever has an extra-marital affair. Giroud has also been spotted having dinner in Hampstead with 'super agent' Muzzi Ozcan. It seems quite possible his career in England might not survive the summer, at which point Wenger really must buy a striker not from the upper reaches of the second tier - as Giroud is - or a hopeful might-never-be like Sanogo, but a genuine high grade title-winning striker for an Özil-sized amount of money, plus at least one other in support.

4) Marshall may be the league's best goalkeeper
David de Gea was voted the Premier League's outstanding goalkeeper last season. At various points this season, the Spaniard, Simon Mignolet, Petr Cech, Hugo Lloris and Wojciech Szczesny have had claims to the same title. Yet each has had a flawed campaign. In contrast, the overworked Cardiff City's David Marshall has been consistently superb. It took a deflection and a mishit to beat the Scot on Saturday and it was the latest in a long line of terrific performances from him. While players at the wrong end of the table rarely receive individual accolades, it is to be hoped many of his fellow players remember his brilliance when casting their votes for the places in the PFA's team of the season. Richard Jolly
• Match report: Everton 2-1 Cardiff City
5) Is Schneiderlin a leftfield option for Hodgson?
The England manager travelled to the south coast largely to admire the burgeoning talent of Luke Shaw and to confirm Adam Lallana as a dead cert for his final World Cup squad, but Roy Hodgson had his attention grabbed by several other players in Southampton shirts – one of whom he has never even considered for the national side. Rickie Lambert's introduction as a second-half substitute may have been explosive enough to convince Hodgson that he should go to Brazil ahead of Jermain Defoe. Lambert scored a goal within a minute of coming on and later produced a neat assist for Jay Rodriguez. Rodriguez, meanwhile, gave a tireless display and the very fact that he was initially selected by Mauricio Pochettino to be the principal striker ahead of the more experienced Lambert was testament to his growing stature at the club. His goal and a blistering second-half shot which smacked the bar showed he has an eye for the net. But there was a third Saints player who shone as Southampton dispatched Norwich: the midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin. He has played at all age-levels in the France youth set-up from under-16 to under-21, but has yet to make his full debut for Les Bleus. And, having lived in England for five years, he could yet qualify for Hodgson's squad on account of the residency rule. Schneiderlin quipped after the match that he is open to possibilities. One wonders if Hodgson is? Jonny Weeks
• Match report: Southampton 4-2 Norwich City
6) Cup distraction may drag Hull into the mire
Hull's season ticket holders are to be balloted on the club's proposed name change to Hull Tigers ahead of a decision by the Football Association in April. However, the presence of something else next month could have just as significant an impact on their future. A first FA Cup semi-final for 84 years, against Sheffield United at Wembley, has the potential to cause a distraction during a run of four matches which appear pivotal to the quest to preserve Premier League status. West Brom and Swansea visit the KC Stadium either side of visits to Stoke and West Ham, and although Steve Bruce's side have steered clear of the bottom three for the majority of the season they are still eight points shy of the safety target their manager has set, sparking fears amongst a fringe of fans that they could yet suffer the same fate as Wigan in 2012-13. Richard Gibson
• Match report: Hull City 0-2 Manchester City
7) Odemwingie's goal and the offside shouts that never were
Stoke's match with West Ham featured two interesting and relatively unusual applications of the offside law. One saw a Kevin Nolan goal disallowed even though there was a defender between him and the goal, because Asmir Begovic had rushed beyond him in the moments before the ball was played. As the ball rolled into the net Stoke's players clearly felt they had conceded, and Nolan was positively apoplectic when he spotted the raised flag, but the decision was undoubtedly correct. A more interesting incident occurred at the same end, in front of the same assistant, a little earlier in the game when a Stoke corner led to an outbreak of penalty-area chaos. As Stephen Ireland sent the ball into the box Peter Odemwingie was stationed on the toes of the West Ham goalkeeper, Adrián. The Hammers had Andy Carroll standing level with the near post, perhaps three yards from the goal-line, Mark Noble at the back post, and Stewart Downing in between, a yard or so upfield of Odemwingie. Peter Crouch won the initial header, and both Adrián and Carroll, in their attempts to keep the ball out, moved behind the goal-line. That left Noble level with Odemwingie, with Stewart still a yard upfield, when the ball fell back to Crouch, who athletically steered it into Odemwingie's shoulder, and thence into goal. In other words, Odemwingie was surely offside, being "nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent", with both opponents beyond said goal line irrelevant. No flag was raised, nor apparently were any objections by players or pundits, but it did look like an error. Simon Burnton
• Match report: Stoke City 3-1 West Ham
8) Graceful Swans could disappear from top flight
Too good to go down? I vowed I'd never fall for that one again after reporting Nottingham Forest's relegation in Brian Clough's last game in charge. Forest played their pleasing passing game all the way down to the Championship, the memory of which came to mind as Swansea did likewise in losing at home to West Bromwich Albion. The graceful Swans are a delight to watch but they are without a win in seven matches under the interim management of Garry Monk, whose inexperience does not augur well. Joe Lovejoy
• Match report: Swansea City 1-2 West Bromwich Albion
9) Woodrow zest gives Fulham hope
In his two senior appearances Cauley Woodrow has not yet to show a well-honed predatory instinct but his performances have nonetheless put Fulham's more experienced forward to shame. The 19-year-old has led the line and linked up with a dynamism that the likes of Dimitar Berbatov, Darren Bent, Hugo Rodallega and (the possibly injured) Kostas Mitroglou have lacked. If Fulham are to escape relegation they could do with Woodrow making another creaking veteran look bad next weekend, when he will likely come up against Martín Demichelis. Paul Doyle
• Match report: Fulham 1-0 Newcastle
10) Sunderland should gamble on playing two strikers
Sunderland are not the first side, and will not be the last, to come unstuck against the horrific brand of 'anti-football' Tony Pulis has introduced at Palace. Even so Gus Poyet currently lacks the right personnel to make his beloved 4-1-4-1 system and patient possession-based gameplans work properly. In the medium term Poyet's principles appear the key to Sunderland emerging from years of struggle but, with avoiding the relegation the immediate priority, he should surely tweak the formation and ask Fabio Borini to operate as a central striker playing off Jozy Altidore in a 4-1-3-2 formation. This configuration arguably needs to accommodate the frequently overlooked and regularly under-achieving yet undeniably gifted Italy international Emmanuele Giaccherini but if it comes down to a straight choice between Sebastian Larsson and Jack Colback in central midfield, Colback should surely win every time.

JaVale McGee threw a Chipotle party this week. He invited all of his fans from Twitter, and was prepared to buy burritos for everybody. Then one person total showed up and awkwardness ensued.
That one person also later admitted that McGee is only one of his favorite Nuggets. Not the favorite, after he just bought dude lunch, one of his favorites.
The following from Deadspin:
JaVale McGee invited 10 Twitter followers to a free lunch with him at Chipotle yesterday. And in typically JaVale fashion, the invitation was well-intentioned, but poorly thought out, producing a hilarious result. Given just five minutes notice, only one fan made it to Chipotle: Andy Mathisen, who doesn't even list the Nuggets among his fan allegiances in his Twitter bio.
Mathisen took to Twitter to thank McGee, "one of his favorite Nuggets," for the free lunch. Maybe had McGee had just given him the other nine burritos, Mathisen would have called McGee his favorite Nugget.
Lessoned learned here is that not everybody is sitting around waiting for an NBA player to invite them to Chipotle. People need more than five minutes notice, and had McGee given them about an hour, this story would've read differently. But he didn't, and it's funny. Hopefully more people show up next time.

There is alot of talk about the U.S rivalry between Weir and Lysacek in the U.S over the next 4 years but the rivalry in Japan between Oda and Takahashi will be intersting. Neither of these hugely talented youngsters has stepped to a World podium yet but it is probably only a matter of time. They are very different skaters, but quite evenly matched for the time being.
The whole situation at the Japanese Nationals this year, with Oda thinking he had won and would go to the Olympics, but then a scoring error being found that gave it to Takahashi surely intensified the competition between them. Also Takahashi being dropped from Worlds to make room for Oda, especialy when the scoring error at the Nationals was reported to be a legitimate one, probably irked Takahashi as well, as either had a more viable medal chance here then in Turin with Plushenko not in the field.
Takahashi is a very hot and cold skater. His skating is much more mature and musical then Oda's at this point right now though. Oda is such a pure jumper, and has youthful exuberance out there. Both are working hard on their spins and footwork to get their levels up it seems in the last year. Oda's biggest weakest is in the long repeating jumps, or rearranging what jumps he does, which sometimes costs him. At Worlds he lost the bronze due to not getting credit for a jump he repeated. This sounds like what happened at Japanese Nationals this year too. So twice it cost him big, and it seems to be a tendency of his.

To kick off the show, on Thursday at 2:00 p.m., Serj Tankian, the accomplished solo artist and creative frontman and songwriter for the Grammy award-winning rock band System of a Down, will join Bob Taylor on stage to talk about his career and upcoming projects, as well as to debut his new signature model, the Serj Tankian T5. During this time, Tankian will field questions from the audience. Following the debut of the new model, Taylor's well-loved signature artist and dynamic fingerstylist Doyle Dykes (DDSM) will perform at 3:00 p.m.
Later that day at 4:30 p.m., rising country band Love and Theft will mark their first NAMM performance. Comprised of members Stephen Barker Liles (616ce), Eric Gunderson (GA5, T3/B, SB-C1,716ce) and Brian Bandas, all of whom sing lead vocals and play guitar, the band has gained attention and a lot of airplay from country radio with their catchy hit, "Runaway"; the song earned the biggest first week digital sales for any debut country act in 2009. The trio released their first album, World Wide Open, in August 2009 and their latest single, "Dancing In Circles", is currently climbing the country radio charts.
On Friday, the day starts rocking at 3:00 p.m. with '80s icons Night Ranger. With a career spanning 20 years and 16 million albums sold worldwide, longtime Taylor-playing members Jack Blades (816ce, 914ce ), Brad Gillis (814ce), Kelly Keagy (716ce) and Joel Hoekstra (614ce) will perform an acoustic set of the band's melodious, power-pop ballads. At 4:30 p.m., San Diego-based troubadour Jason Mraz (714ce, 612ce, NS52ce, NS72ce) will bring his catchy, positive acoustic stylings to the Taylor stage. The multiple Grammy nominee set a music industry record late last year with his hit single, "I'm Yours", off his 2008 platinum certified album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things, for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Mraz has spent the past thirteen years performing everywhere from local coffee shops to stadiums of adoring fans, and along the way, has released three critically acclaimed studio albums and garnered the Hal David Starlight award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. At the show, and in collaboration with Taylor Guitars, Mraz will debut his latest project, the Jason Mraz Signature Model (JMSM) guitar.
On Saturday, revered Spanish rockers Maná and the most celebrated Christian artist of the past decade, Steven Curtis Chapman, will both perform. Known for their pop meets rock 'n' roll sound and lyrics, Maná (514ce, 710ce, 712ce, K14ce, GSRC, T5-C1, T5C1-12, T5C2, T5C1) has gained notoriety around the world throughout the course of nearly three decades. Following Maná, inspirational musician Steven Curtis Chapman (510, 512-M, 712ce, 714ce, 814c, 815c) will take the stage. Chapman, who has collected a wealth of awards, including five Grammys, an American Music Award, and more Dove Award nominations than any other artist in the history of the Gospel Music Association, has inspired fans over two decades by sharing a message of hope and love. Chapman's most recent projects include the release of his seventeenth album, Beauty Will Rise, featuring the lead single, "Heaven Is the Face", which peaked at no. 9 late last year on Billboard's Top Christian Songs.

Knighthawks Pitch 1st Half Shutout In Win Over Bandits
Rochester, New York -
After leading 5-0 at halftime, the Rochester Knighthawks (4-2) held on for a 9-6 win in the 'Thruway Rivalry' over the visiting Buffalo Bandits (5-2) before a crowd of 9,280 at Blue Cross Arena on Saturday night.
The first quarter of the game was dominated by the goalies. Matt Vinc for the Knighthawks pitched a shutout, highlighted by numerous saves on the doorstep. Anthony Cosmo's performance for the Buffalo Bandits was no less splendid, only spoiled by Joe Walters' shorthanded goal at 10:31, assisted by Dan Dawson. That goal marked the latest opening goal in an NLL game so far this season.
In the Knighthawks scored four times in less than four minutes, getting started with Mike Accursi scoring at 8:46, assisted by Cody Jamieson. Cory Vitarelli then scored twice, first at 10:06 with assists from Joel McCready and Cody Jamieson, then against at 11:38 assisted by McCready again. Dawson finished the scoring at 12:39 in transition with assists from Brad Self and Vinc. The Knighthawks went into halftime with the 5-0 lead, marking the first team in Bandits team history that they've been shut out in the first half.
Buffalo stormed back as Mark Steenhuis opened the scoring in the third quarter at 8:39 with assists from Ryan Benesch and Jamie Rooney. Benesch then scored at 9:22 with assists from Dhane Smith and Kevin Brownell. Then at 11:32, John Tavares scored with a behind-the-back bouncer from Smith and Steenhuis. At 12:09, Joe Resetarits scored with assists from Benesch and Shawn Williams to bring the score to 5-4, Knighthawks. Cody Jamieson then halted the Bandits run at 14:49 with a power play goal. The score would remain 6-4 at the end of the third.
Vitarelli extended Rochester's lead to 7-4 at 1:06 into the fourth with an assist from Joel McCready. The Bandits then brought the game back within two on a goal from Chad Culp at 3:53 with an assist from Anthony Cosmo. Accursi then brought the lead back to three at 5:04 with assists from Jamieson and Dawson. McCready then extended the lead to 9-5 at 9:12 with an assist from Dawson. Benesch scored on the power play at 13:19 with an assist from Williams, but penalty trouble for the Bandits would end any chance of a comeback.

text: For the ones that don't know : he's the CTS-VR Driver #8. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Limerock a few weeks ago. Awesome dude!!! But even more, he's there for his fans. I went to his web site and ordered a 1:18 scale rep. of his car, the day after the race. Then I e-mailed him and said remember us from Limerock, I just ordered from your web site. He said, I will sign it when I get back from out West. I just got the model in the mail. It is awesome, signed by him, to my wife and daughter, and there day at Limerock together.:thumbsup: He is a man, doing a wonderful job for GM and doing an even better job for people. So if your looking for a special gift, have a son, daughter, wife, husband, or friend, that has to have their own V. U can save about 50k, not including the savings on rear tires, at andypilgram.com it worked for me. :shhh:

To test these cards, I ran our usual set of benchmarks on our reference Intel 975XBX "Bad Axe†motherboard, with an Intel X6800 Core 2 Duo, coupled with 2GBs of Corsair CMX1024-6400C4 running at 800MHz with latency settings of 4-4-4-12.
We've now added in Company Of Heroes (CoH) into our testing suite and have dropped the ageing Quake 4. We use the inbuilt graphics test in CoH which features heavy use of water, lighting, explosions and masses of vegetation and it gives a fair representation of overall performance throughout the game. As this is a manual test we have reduced the number of tests to just one without anti-aliasing and one with anti-aliasing, using the in-game anti-aliasing setting. All other in-game settings were kept at their maximum.
As well as CoH, we also ran Call of Duty 2, Counter Strike: Source, Battlefield 2, Prey and 3DMark06. Bar 3DMark06 and CoH, these all run using our in-house pre-recorded timedemos in the most intense sections of each game. Each setting is run three times and the average is taken, for reproducible and accurate results. I ran each game test at 1,280 x 1,024, 1,600 x 1,200, and 1,920 x 1,200 each at 0x FSAA with trilinear filtering, 2x FSAA with 4x AF and 4x FSAA with 8x AF. All other in-game and driver settings are kept to their maximum.
For comparison I've pulled in results from our recent tests of nVidia and ATIs previous generation mid-range hardware, the 7600 GT and X1650 XT. Also, to see what spending an extra £50 - £70 will get you, I've included results for the 8800 GTS 320.
Our Call Of Duty 2 test is very texture heavy and pushes memory bandwidth to the limit. So, it's no surprise that this is the one title where the 8600 GTS falls behind all the other cards. In all our other games, which are more shader heavy, the 8600 GTS consistently stays ahead of the DX9 only cards. However, the margin is not as large as most us of would've hoped and when higher resolutions and anti-aliasing are used the gap shrinks to negligible amounts. And, what is most obvious is just how much the 8600 GTS lags behind the 8800 GTS 320. Even as the lowest end part based on the G80 core, the 8800 GTS 320 still trounces everything else on test here. At lower resolutions the difference seems on a par but as you crank up the resolution and anti-aliasing we see differences of over 50 per cent.
It's difficult not to feel disappointed with the GeForce 8600 GTS. DirectX 9 performance is simply not up to scratch when compared to previous generation hardware from both nVidia and ATI. Obviously we can't fully pass judgement until we've tested the card using DirectX 10 games but after the barn storming success of the 8800 I think we all hoped the 8600 GTS would outperform its predecessors by a greater margin.
The new video processor, HDCP compliance, HDMI support, and dual-link capabilities all point to a good all-rounder and certainly if you just want a card that will perform all your multimedia duties then you can't go too far wrong. However, if that's all you need then it may be worth waiting for the cheaper 8600 GT and 8500 GT, which may have these features.
If you own an X1650 XT, 7600 GT, or anything better, then the 8600 GTS isn't going to offer you anymore performance right now and you'd be better off waiting until DX10 performance can be assessed. However, if you have been desperately holding out for mid-range DirectX 10 hardware to become available before replacing your ailing 6600 GT or X800 GT then the 8600 GTS may just be worth investing in. It's not a dead cert though.

| MSHA's Accident Prevention Program
Miner's Tip
Hazards Caused by Haul Trucks
|Mine Type: All Surface
|Category: Haulage
A recent nonfatal accident occurred when a haulage truck crushed a forklift while backing up. This accident demonstrates the importance of completing all the safety checks before backing up.
Be sure you are clear of ground personnel before moving your vehicle. Use:
- Walk-around
- Horn signals
- A radio, if needed
- A spotter, if needed
GROUND PERSONNEL (MECHANICS): Never approach equipment unless you have clearly communicated with the operator.
You must clearly communicate your intentions and directions to the operator. Let them know when you are in the clear.
Do not approach mobile equipment unless you know the operator has understood your signals and the equipment is not moving.
See MSHA's "Take the Keys" remedy for more information.
Never Assume! - Safety is communication!

Open letter to those that oppose gun rights
Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer,
Dick Durbin, Frank Lautenberg, Michael Bloomberg, the Violence Policy Center, the Brady Campaign, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others pushing for the elimination of 2nd Amendment Rights:
Just after graduating from College in 1968, I volunteered for service in the United States Army. As an American Citizen, I felt it was my duty and an honor to serve my country.
The Army trained me to be a killer. It put automatic weapons in my hand and taught me how to utilize them to its full potential and then sent me to a far away land (Vietnam) to kill its inhabitants. Was it the weapons that directed the firepower or was it the Government that directed me and my comrades to kill as we had been trained to do?
In 2001, Terrorist struck on our soil killing thousands of innocent people. Once again, I served my country by becoming a Federal Flight Deck Officer while in the employ of a U.S. Civil Air Carrier. I was issued a semi-automatic handgun by the U.S. Government and trained to kill terrorist in a close quarters combat situation.
My point; it appears to be OK to protect ourselves and the citizens of these United States with the blessing of the U.S. Government but some of our lawmakers (U.S. Government) do not find it necessary for law abiding citizens to individually protect themselves with firearms. Making guns illegal to own would have to be followed with making it illegal to own an automobile because without a doubt, more people are killed each year by automobile than with a firearm. Further, the old cliché is absolutely right: When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
As the bearer of a Concealed Weapons Permit (CCW), I have been background checked by the FBI and Local Authorities, even though I have had a Secret Clearance while in the service of the Government. As with nearly all holders of a Concealed Weapons Permit, I take my responsibility seriously, have and will take continuing gun educational classes and practice marksmanship on a regular basis. My greatest hope is that I will never have to use my weapon to defend the life of a loved one and/or my own. I refuse to become a victim, as I would be defenseless as a law-abiding citizen if my gun rights were to be taken from me.
The law of averages dictate that there will be the occasional accident. However, I refer you back to the number of people that are injured, maimed, and killed each year on our nation's highways.
I urge you to reconsider your position on gun rights. Push for enforcement of current legislation, not make more restrictions so honest, law-abiding citizens will be forced into being outlaws because they refuse to give up their means of protection. Endorse and approve full reciprocity for legal gun owners to protect themselves throughout these United States the same way a citizen can legally drive his car from State to State.
Respectfully and Sincerely,
Mark Schwartz

Roth Ups Isle of Capri to Strong Buy
Roth Capital upgraded Isle of Capri Casinos (ISLE ) to strong buy from buy.
Analyst Todd Eilers upgraded given the positive quarterly results, near-term catalysts, and existing expansion projects. He notes first-quarter earnings per share beat his estimate by 6 cents due to lower-than-expected interest expense and a minority interest expense.
Although he expects construction disruption to persist through fiscal 2005 (Apr), he says the completion of Black Hawk and Biloxi, Miss. casino expansions in early 2005 will propel the company back to organic revenue and earnings growth in fiscal 2006. Also, he notes potential near-term catalysts in Iowa, Missouri, and Florida with respect to new casino-license awards and racing legislation. Eilers has a $24 target.

What is Jerusalem worth? nothing, EVEEEERYYYYYTHHHHHIIIIINGGGGG
Article by: Rassool Auckbaraullee
Status: Finished
Genre: Action and Adventure
Kingdom of Heaven in 2005 will be what Gladiator was in 2000. Ridley Scott has delivered a worthy follow up to his Oscar winner, which is also based on medieval times, with a central heroic
character, and supporting casts of characters based on history.
The sets are as spectacular, instead of just Rome and the Collesuem, we have the Middle East and Jerusalem. The costumes are beautiful, from intricately remade Knights armour, to the desert garb of the Muslim warriors. The soundtrack is a mixture of sounds with middle eastern influences, but somehow pales in comparison with Gladiator and lacks a central theme.
Much is said about how the film portrays religion, given the sensitive subject of the Crusades, but I feel that Ridley has achieved a wonderful balance between how Christianity and Islam are portrayed. Both are given fair airtime on their ideologies, and the film tries to preach (pardon the pun) about tolerance, yet highlights the dangers of fanatical followers of both religions, of misguidance from men in search of worldly power.
Which Christianity took a beating - where senseless battles are waged in the name of Christ, where insensitivity breed contempt. Preists are cast in negative light and given lines like "convert to Islam, repent later" when all around seems lost. It is emphasized in the show that what matters is in your head and in your heart - that noble actions speak louder than mere empty and repetitive "praise the Lord" chants, as if that will protect you during Judgement Day.
Orlando Bloom plays Balian, a blacksmith who became a fugitive, but inherited land and army from his father, Godfrey, played by Liam Neeson. The film can be broadly categorized into 3 acts - the first in which Balian searches for his identity and new life in Jerusalem, the second in which the focus is on religion and politics of the time, and the last, the spectacular siege and war.
Bloom puts up a commendable performance, so to his detractors out there, you're in for a big surprise. Edward Norton had the difficult task of acting through a mask as leper King Baldwin, and I applaud Ridley's decision of casting real Muslim actors to learn from them.
Fans of Eva Green might be disappointed that the relationship between Balian and Queen Sibylla was played down to focus on the battles, but I feel it's a fair trade off.
Firstly, some of you might not like the quick-cut-MTV style editing in Gladiator's fight scenes, especially the close ups. This is repeated here though, in a blood splattering manner. The pan-out and general landscape sweeps are mindblowing, and will leave you wanting more. Think about the battles that you see Lord of The Rings Two Towers and Return of the King - the siege on Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith - Kingdom of Heaven delivers the equivalent, probably even better (without the fantasy elements). This is one medieval war movie whose battles will stick in your mind for some time.
All things said and done I found this movie to be very entertaining. It's visually stunning, reasonably well acted with a decent script and some nice characters. What it lacks in coherence and story it makes up for with a strong and quick pace (for the genre) and some truly impressive action scenes. Wolfgang Petersson and Oliver Stone should watch this before they even think of making another historic epic. Because Ridley Scott has learned the important lesson so well put in "Gladiator": the people want to be entertained
The Muslim characters in the movie consists of Saladin (Ghassan Massoud)and , Muslim Grandee (Nasser Memazia who want Jerusalem for other uses such as for the nation of Islam. I should say the Muslim characters in this film get a large bulk of screen time. Furthermore, their characters are treated with respect and almost admiration. In fact Scott tells us their back story as well and we see display of Muslim religion in the movie such as Muslim praying in mosques and in the city of Jerusalem.
This reminds me of the Palestian/Israeli conflict of sorts where you have both sides that believe in God but are battling for the control of one city, despite the fact that they both profess to believing in God. Some questions to ponder are these other people with religious ideals worse than we say they are, or are they merely some religious fanatics misusing the name of God for power? Couple that the moral questions that almost every character goes through and the questioning and denouncement and spiritual awakening of God and my you got yourself a thought provoking film

Dynamic behaviour of flat post-tensioned floor plates
Jetann, Charles A., Thambiratnam, David P., Kajewski, Stephen L., & Farr, Andrew (2006) Dynamic behaviour of flat post-tensioned floor plates. In Proceedings of the 13th International Conference of Sound and Vibration, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, pp. 1-8.
Vibration is a serviceability limit state for the design of suspended floor systems in buildings that is not well understood by many structural engineers. Dynamic behaviour is an important design consideration for slender, two-way floors, particularly for those of post-tensioned concrete construction. At present, there are no reliable design guidelines that deal with this problem. This paper describes a research program on the dynamic behaviour of posttensioned concrete floors that is presently underway at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. Results from this research will enable the development of much needed design guidance on the dynamic behaviour post-tensioned concrete floors in buildings. A full-scale, post-tensioned slab specimen has been constructed in the university's structural laboratory. Purpose-designed support brackets have been fabricated which have enabled an investigation on the effects of various support conditions at the corners of the specimen. A series of static and dynamic tests are being performed in the laboratory to obtain basic material properties and behavior of the specimen. Data collected from these experiments will be used to tune finite element models for computational, parametric studies. Preliminary finite element analyses of both composite and homogeneous material cross-sections have been calibrated against results from initial laboratory experiments. Further field instrumentation and testing of floors in existing buildings will be conducted to validate computational studies. These computational studies will be expanded to generate predictive guidelines for the free vibration and response of two-way, post-tensioned concrete floors.

255s on 8.5" Rims for racing?
I'm trying to come up with a track setup that is decent and affordable. I have qty6 M68 wheels already, so it's a sensible choice to go with considering the 8.5" wheels are only around 21lbs. I've only done 6 autocrosses over the past year, so I don't need anything extremely competitive. I'd rather spend my money on more seat time. I am however driving at the limits of my current setup.
I'd like to go with a square setup all-around with my M68 8.5" and wide-as-sensible Star Specs. I'm trying to do as many AutoXs as possible and also fit in a couple NASA HPDEs this summer. For SCCA STX the widest tire I can go with is a 265. I couldn't imagine fitting a 265 on an 8.5" wheel so I'm leaning towards a 255.
My question is whether or not a 255/40/R17 is too wide for an 8.5" wheel for competition driving? That's ~.75" overhang on either side.
That size will work fine. I used and abused a 255/40/17 on my rear m68's. They were BFG, which ran much noticeably fatter than OEM 335i sport tires (255/35/18).
Do it :thumbup:
That is what I did for AutoX--255/40/17 Hankook R-S3 on 8.5" rims. They don't look too wide, but I haven't driven them in any events yet so can't say. I'm signed up for the BMW CCA AutoX this Saturday at Qualcomm, so maybe my new tires and I will see you there? (I don't do SCCA yet.)
I've seen this question come up a few times in the track, AutoX and club racing forum on bf.c. Half the respondents say what BartenderPlease did--Do It! The other half say 255 width tires feel more precise and grip better on a 9" rim and you should not run more than 245 width tires on an 8.5" rim.
255 is an OEM installed width tire on most BMW 8.5" wide rims. I don't see how/why it'd be a problem. 255/35 R18s came on the rear of the style 293s I bought from a Z4 owner, 8.5" wide.
Sent from my DROID2 using Bimmer App
Some people like seeing the rear wheels a bit more aggressive than the fronts, but for every day driving I'd say staggered is a bit safer.

HP to set up panel for timely completion of hydel projects
After the completion of these projects, state government would get additional income of Rs 213 crore on account of 12 per cent free power as royalty for 12 years.
Shimla: To ensure completion of hydro-power projects in time, a committee would be set up that will monitor the ongoing projects and address the problems of delay in getting clearances. Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Wednesday directed the officials concerned to complete the hydropower projects within time bound to avoid cost escalation.
The committee headed by Chief Secretary would be in place soon to supervise and monitor the progress of all the ongoing projects and also address the problems of delay in getting various clearances, the CM said. Reviewing the meeting of Multipurpose Projects and Power (MPP) and Non-Conventional Energy Sources in Shimla, the Chief Minister expressed happiness over the increase in revised estimated hydropower potential from 23,000 MW to 27433 MW in all five major river basins.

Appalachian (12-2, 2-0 SoCon) scored in double-digits for the fifth time in six games to reach 10 victories in a row for the first time since it won its first 10 games of the 2010 season. With the triumph, ASU also clinched this weekend's three-game series versus Davidson (4-8, 0-2 SoCon), marking the first time since 1999 that the Mountaineers have won their initial Southern Conference series of the season.
Unlike the majority of its recent games, Appalachian appeared to be in store for a close affair on Saturday, as it led just 4-3 midway through the contest. However, the Mountaineers exploded for their second nine-run inning of the week in the fifth to turn the tight ballgame into a romp.
Thanks to five walks and a hit batter, ASU needed just three hits to put the nine-spot on the board in the fifth. Cleanup hitter Daniel Kassouf provided two of three hits in the frame, an RBI single that opened the scoring and a towering grand slam to left field that capped the nine-run explosion and gave the Mountaineers a commanding 13-3 advantage. Hector Crespo delivered the only other hit in the stanza with a three-run double to left.
From there, the only real question remaining was whether starting pitcher Seth Grant would toss a complete game. The right-handed senior wound up working eight strong innings, allowing just three runs on five hits while striking out five and walking only one. Despite throwing only 97 pitches in the efficient victory, Grant (2-1) came out of the ballgame after the Mountaineers scored three runs in the eighth to stretch their lead to 16-3.
Like in Friday's 10-4 series-opening triumph over Davidson, the top of the batting order led the way for ASU on Saturday. The Apps' first four hitters (Crespo, Tyler Zupcic, Will Callaway and Kassouf) all had multiple hits for the second-straight day, combining to go 8-for-17 with four walks, nine RBI and 10 runs scored. Also for the second-straight day, 8-of-9 starters had hits in the Mountaineers' 14-hit outburst.
Forrest Brandt had two of Davidson's six hits while pitcher Brian Russell (1-1) was tagged for seven runs in four innings to suffer the loss.
Appalachian goes for the series sweep on Sunday when it hosts the finale of the three-game set at 1 p.m.
NOTES: As of 5:45 p.m. Saturday, Appalachian is one of only nine NCAA Division I teams with a double-digit winning streak this season (joining Kentucky, Florida, Wake Forest, Gonzaga, Maryland, Oregon, USC Upstate and Richmond — Rice can join the list by extending their current winning streaks to 10 with victories later on Saturday) ... ASU is hitting .363 as a team and averaging 12.1 runs per game during its current seven-game homestand ... the Mountaineers still haven't allowed more than four runs in a game this season, more than doubling the previous school record for consecutive games to start a campaign without surrendering five runs in any contest (the previous record of six was established last year) ... ASU beat Davidson for the ninth-consecutive time and has won all eight games it has ever played against the Wildcats at Smith Stadium ... Kassouf recorded multiple hits for the seventh time in nine games ... Kassouf and Zupcic both extended their hitting streaks to seven games, ASU's longest streaks of the season ... Kassouf is hitting .531 (17-for-32) and Zupcic is hitting .433 (13-for-30) during their respective seven-game hitting streaks ... Jeremy Dowdy has reached base safely in all 13 games he has played this season ... Tyler Tewell has reached safely in 10-straight games while Zupcic and Callaway have gotten aboard in nine-consecutive contests.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I did not race the first edition because I had already committed to a different race too close before this race made the news.
I cannot do Nice so close after Lanza and next year this race almost overlaps my 40th birthday and I will be returning "home" for a "Challenge".
Anybody else planning on doing this race in 2014?
Not returning in 2014, I think it was a one off tieing in with a family holiday.
2013 was a fantastic experience, bot th elogisitis of the event, the event itself, and the support, but also the town of Vitoria. Two happy weeks spent in the town, with an awesome race in the middle.
I think it's been dropped as a Challenge event for 2014 though.
Yes, the event returns as a local event NOT under the Challenge umbrella but with the same organizer, just not franchised.
Triathlon Vitoria organized the ITU LD World Champs in 2012 and was behind Challenge Vitoria 2013 so the race is in good hands. I will still race it even though they have messed my schedule by making it earlier in July!

st: Calculation of attributable risk in surveys (SVY)
Wed, 12 Sep 2012 09:26:09 +0200
I'm mid-analysing a population seroprevalence study that used a 2 stage sampling design. Given the design, I'm using the Stata svy commands so that the analysis adjusts for the study design.
I would like to caclulate some attributable risks and their 95%CIs: in non-svy data I would use the cs commmand, but this does not work with the survey settings; neither does aflogit. Does anyone know a command to calculate attibutable risks under the SVY settings?
Many thanks in advance for your help,

Asking questions is good. Experimenting for yourself is better.
I like to experiment with marketing techniques. Ads on Facebook, Twitter, targeted blogs, conference programs, and more. Until you try something, you don't know what kind of results you will get. And these days, there are plenty of people out there who are willing to tell you what works and what doesn't. The question becomes, do you know how much of an experience the person who's telling you what to do actually has? Or are they as much in the dark as you are?
Asking questions is good. Experimenting for yourself is better.
Personal Connection
A lot has been said about making a connection with your readers. Different authors have different ways of doing this: some are extremely active on social media, others book extensive tours, and still others volunteer for writer organizations so they can be involved in a different way. If you want your readers to know you, then it's important to find your own way to connect. Forcing face to face events when they cause you panic attacks might not be the best strategy. Maybe a newsletter is more up your alley. Maybe you're more comfortable joining a discussion on GoodReads. Find your own method and then employ it. Most importantly: be yourself.
Somewhere along the way, the concept of networking became synonymous with eighties power lunches, business card swapping, and I'll-scratch-your-back-you-scratch-mine behavior. Contacts met at social event were sized up quickly, assessed by what they could offer. The intimidation factor for newbies to the playground was huge. So power players traded favors and got more powerful and a whole bunch of people watched from the sidelines and thought, why won't anybody help me?
Networking is important for everybody, even authors. No matter what stage we're at: writing, editing, querying, promoting, we all need help. But let's spin that on it's head: no matter what stage we're at: writing, editing, querying, or promoting, we all have something we can offer someone else: blurbing, beta reading, fresh eyes for typos on a final draft. Instead of being intimidated by the people who are more successful than us when we meet them, we should be offering to help them. When we offer our help and the offer is accepted, we build our own self-worth, which is enough of a payoff. Think not: what can this person do for me, but rather, what can I do for this person?
It's a liberating concept that takes the intimidation factor out of networking. We at Polyester Press are now looking forward to our next networking opportunity not with trepidation, but with excitement.
This post inspired by Adam M. Grant's book GIVE AND TAKE.
Most people assume the reason to send press releases is because you want to tell the press about your book. This is slightly erroneous. You don't want to tell the press about your book. You want to interest the press in sharing the news of your book with their market. See the difference?
Pretend you are a purple cow. You wrote a book called I Am A Purple Cow. Would you send your press release to a publication called For Blue Chickens Only? If you did, would you expect them to be interested in your news? Why? Their readers are blue chickens. They are exclusive enough that they have a magazine just for them. If their readers are interested in news about purple cows, they probably go elsewhere for that.
The key here is for your release to be about the story that the publication would want to run. Tailor your message to your audience. More work for you? Yes. Worth the effort? Yes.
To paraphrase Gelett Burgess: I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one; but I can tell you anyhow, if I met one who wrote a book called I Am a Purple Cow, I'd tell him not to send a press release to For Blue Chickens Only.
Ever thought about building your own media contact list? The idea can be overwhelming but your efforts can made a difference. Start with where you live. Make a list of every magazine, radio station, local internet and cable show around. Where do you get your local news? Now, try to find the contact person for each item on your list. Confirm the information you find. Remove those who ask not to be contacted again (that's only polite). Tackle one resource a day. It takes time, but the end result--your own media list to contact for events and news--will be worth it.
Start Saying Yes
Opportunities will find you. Bloggers will invite you to guest post, conferences will ask you to moderate panels, volunteer organizations will encourage you to join the board. Say yes. Every little thing builds your reputation and helps you in the long run.
If you are a published author, or if you're planning to have a book out in the next year, you should ask yourself this question every day. Yep, every day, you should do something to let people know about your book, because you do not know which one of those contacts is going to mean something. You also need to brainstorm often because we all tend to shy away from the crazy ideas, but it's only after we've exhausted the usual ones that our brains are warmed up and we start seeing things that are outside of the box.
Every day: what have I done for my book today?
Press Release Guidelines
Keep your press release to one page. Include the following elements:
Press Releases
Press releases should be sent when you have something important to say. What's the story behind the story? Not "New Book," but rather "Former Designer Publishes Children's Book," or "Former Fashion Buyer Publishes Tenth Book." Identify the story behind the story to entice the media.

Design management as a program integrates and bridges the gap between design, technology and business management. Design education in itself teaches the theory and application of design of products, services and environments and focuses only on how to use "design" as a tool for problem solving. However, it does not typically provide training in the leadership, team building, strategy, finance, marketing, operations and other skills necessary to effectively lead a design department or to run a design business. The increasing importance of design in business and leadership has led people to realise the value of the design process, and creative strategy. Design management as a program is designed for people from the fields of business and design. The participants of the program come from a variety of disciplines, including industrial design, interior design, fashion design, graphic design, communication, information design and architecture.
