May 2016 - $47.00
We stayed here the weekend of May 20th-22nd with our Western Mountain RV'ers chapter of the Maine Good Sam Club with 2 other members. The campground was pretty empty the weekend we stayed, because it was before Memorial Day and the pool was not open yet. The campground was quiet when we were here due to the lack of campers. There also was not much entertainment/activities due to it being prior to the "official" start of camping season (Memorial Day weekend).
My wife and another chapter member loved the hot tub even though it was small and oddly located. The outdoor pavilion needed better lighting and something added to it such as a movie screen or something of that nature to make it usable for entertainment.
The sites we had were 30/50 Amp full hookup pull thru sites. The sites were either dirt with a lot of roots from the large White Pine trees or large sized rock/gravel sites which were tripping/ankle twisting dangers. The sites were partly shaded from the large White Pine trees around the sites.
The dog park was OK but it was small and the fence did not go all the way to the ground so the ball kept going under it. The walking/hiking trails were not marked and were actually also ATV trails. The store was small and we did not use any of the bathroom/shower facilities. The staff was OK but not overly friendly.
We did go into downtown Skowhegan on Saturday of our stay (about a 10-15 min drive) to go to the breakfast buffet at Ken's Restaurant and some of our members went shopping in Skowhegan and to the 10 mile yard sale that was going on that weekend.
We would stay here again but probably try it during the prime season time between Memorial Day & Labor Day. - HappyCamperMaine04938

This park is over rated! We had difficulty getting down to where our site was and there was absolutely no way we could pull through due to trees although we had booked a pull through site well in advance, giving the details of our unit. The campground has a PA system that they use instead of walkie talkies to call staff to escort to sites as well as announce events...very annoying, especially on a busy weekend. We would not stay here again. - Keewatin Kids

We stayed in a pull thru site F1 full hook up, site was nice and level. Staff escorted to our site, and made sure to show locations of hookups. Was unable to use outdoor rug, for fear of trip hazard due to large roots from tree on the site. Campground was VERY clean, and staff were extremely friendly! I would recommend this campground to anyone looking to stay in the Skowhegan/Canaan area. - SJEAGLES609

Very nice RV Park. Utilities were good, WIFI good, laundry clean, sites level. They also have kayaks/paddleboats available to check out at no cost. There are lots of seasonal campers who mainly occupy on the weekends. The park is nicely landscaped and all sites are kept very clean. Owners are very friendly. My only complaint is the road noise is very loud. We sleep with a fan for white noise, but the noise level was still high. Truckers tend to use their jake brakes often. Would stay here again if in the area. - jacknpeg

A small campground with a mix of transient and seasonal campers. The grounds are very neatly kept. Our site was level and spacious, but a little sunnier that we would like. We have a fairly big rig (40 ft) and wanted 50 amp service so that limited our site selection. The campground is on the Wesserunsett Steam just as it enters the Kennebec River and is very scenic. There is a nice pool and access to the rivers. The owners are friendly and available if you needed anything. - Randy & Sharon
Jul 2015 - $36.00
Big rig friendly with level sites. Cable and wi-fi was good. Water pressure was good in camper and showers. One shower room was big and hot water. Washers and dryers were good. No activities in the campground. No dog park. Rained one day and we had flood outside our door. Walmart and a New Balance outlet store were in Skowhegan. - Fulltimersrv

They are changing over to a Yogi Bear franchise, seem to be making improvements to the sites and roads. Very shady campground, located right outside of town on a main road (stores w/I a few minutes drive). Our site was in the back row, had 2 neighbors several sites away for the first night but after that we were alone, so very private. Though the other campers seemed very aloof and unfriendly, they drove around in gas powered golf carts and no "hi", no waving. The sites are being leveled, though we almost slide off a ledge of gravel and this was our first big scare w/the camper in our 3rd yr of camping. The cable boxes are in the woods every 3 sites, so had to go out an buy 100 ft cable. The pool is huge, we didn't partake in the daily activities as we were out the 2 days there so can't comment on them. Our kids liked biking around and the huge fish in the feeding ponds, can't call it a "fishing pond". The small store was fine, kids liked the arcade.
We saw very little employees, or if they were employees they never introduced themselves or checked on us. The young girl in the office was sweet, but knew nothing about area or the campground its self, and had no means of finding us information. Asked about nearby fishing at the 20 lakes in a 30 mile radius, she knew nothing. Finally a local gave us directions to a hidden boat launch nearby w/a little beach, was perfect for kids to caught small pumpkin fish and pikes. An older lady at the desk was more helpful but only saw her the last day. The location is good, the KOA is so far out of town would not consider that. Maybe in a few years will try here again. - K S

The campground is located on a fairly busy highway 2 miles north of Skowhegan. Convenient to Wal-Mart and other shops and restaurants. Highway traffic noise varied from bad to non-existent. The sites are either grass, gravel, or dirt. Most spaces are large and at irregular angles and tend to be well shaded in heavy woods. Some sites are in the open. We camped five nights in a 50 amp full hookup site. Power boxes throughout the park appear to be brand new. Water pressure was the best we've had in a while. The Wi-Fi worked great. The bathrooms were older but clean and in good condition. The Passport America discount lowered our cost to $28 a night. This is a family CG with lots of kids, campfires, and activity around the pool. - whizbang

We stayed in B3 over Labor Day. What a wonderful campground setting vs RV park. Level sites, plenty of space,
Great fire pits with grassy spots. I would come again for a week. The golf course was discounted. We had full hook ups with satellite. WIFI came and went but it was better than most RV parks ( we are on month four of our travels). - HayNan

Beautiful peaceful campground next to a golf course. Nice large grassy backin sites. Great value with passport america (2 nite stay midweek). All utilities worked fine. - lyzzards
Aug 2016 - $17.00
Found this to be a peaceful setting. We were not in the full hook up sites though, and did not have internet. We were overlooking the golf course and had satellite reception at spot 13. It was nice walking our dog around. We were in the woods, but not heavily so. Our site was level, we had water and electric, fire pit and a table. Plenty of room between sights. They also had a little restaurant where you could get breakfast or lunch for reasonable rates. - dorcol

We stopped for a night on our way home from a trip to Nova Scotia. It is mid September, so the camp's residents were mostly seasonals. Seasonal sites occupy probably 70% of the campground, so if you are looking for a site in the height of the season you may want to call first.
We camped on site 22, right on Sebasticook Lake. The view was gorgeous and the site well maintained. There are only 7 lake sites and another 7 with front lake view out of 69. Lake front sites do not have sewer hook up. Full hook up sites are $30.00.
There are several docks and boat ramps and a small beach.
The owners were very nice and friendly. Our one night stay was uneventful and enjoyable.
The campground is conveniently located close to Hwy 95 and on Route 2 for travelers driving the scenic route East - West. - Catalina W
Aug 2016 - $25.00
A very nice park. Judging by the amount of decks, sheds, etc. I'd estimated that 90% of the park is seasonal. Showers are .25 for 7.5 minutes or .10 for 2.5 minutes. I found the water pressure terrible. They are also very small and cramped. Laundry is reasonable at 1.25/wash and 1.00/dry. Firewood is 5.00 for a wheelbarrow full and paper and kindling is free. Great staff and a nice quiet location. - MSSW
Aug 2009 - $24.00
If you enjoy small quiet campgrounds and your equipment is not too big, you will like this park. It is clean, well maintained and has easy lake access for water craft. The back-in sites are on the lakeside and the pull-thru sites are across the road from them. Just be sure to check if the site is level enough for your rig before registering since there are not many sites and some are not very level. They have Wi-Fi at the library (beside the pull-thru sites) and a large number of books for exchange. - JTD2

All hookups worked fine. We were thankful for the cable since our satellite tv didn't work. The park could use a little extra TLC as it has a run down tired look. The bathrooms needed cleaning. There were cob webs that needed to be brushed away from last year and a coat of paint wouldn't hurt. Our GPS registered a 42% downgrade coming into the park. For some reason, they kept blocking the road as you entered (probably to stop people coming in too fast). A fox then a skunk lived (or died?) under the office making it smell so bad the managers couldn't even work there. The laundry room had two of four dryers broken and only two washers. They worked well but were also housed in the stinky office building. - Melodycthomas
Aug 2015 - $33.00
Stayed here just one night on our way from Massachusetts to Bar Harbor. Challenging, steep roads to the park led to fairly flat camping. Nice lake, nice playground, mostly seasonal campers - nice folks. Our golden retriever enjoyed a swim while we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. - Upstater
Aug 2014 - $38.00
This is a great campground. I didn't give it the max because of the ancient and somewhat dilapidated state of restrooms and showers. Would definitely stay again. We called an hour away and arrived at about 6:30 PM. They gave us a choice of waterfront and other sites (waterfront sites do not have septic). Lots of local/seasonal folks, all very friendly. Overlooked beautiful Webber Pond (good-sized lake). Lots of kids, local people in small groups , but everything was dead quiet by 10 PM. Rental boats, marked swimming area. $5.00 got us a load of firewood delivered that we almost couldn't use up by 11 PM. Looked like they had a bonfire set up for Saturday night (we were there on Friday). - Casper2011

Teryx Air Filter Project
So I finally got around to getting this thing installed along with an A/F gauge. I'm using one of our (AMSOIL) EAAU induction air filters (you can see the inverted cone in the first pic...more surface area). I'm so tired of cleaning and oiling the stocker!!!! The filter is a dry nanofiber that never needs oil and when it is dirty you either vacuum it out or blow it out using low pressure air (20 psi). The nanfiber is 50x more efficient than wet gauze (K&N/AFe) @ 0.8 micron and the media holds 15x more dust. The service life is 100k miles. I'm also using a pre-filter (AMSOIL) that is treated with a hydrophobic water repellent process to help prevent moisture from damaging air filter. Since the filter is dry, no oil can transfer to the pre-filter to trap dust/dirt and disrupt air flow!
I designed an adapter to fix the stock air box, that seals up against it with an o-ring. The air filter is then attached to the adapter. This eliminates any possibility for dust/dirt getting by the filter in the box. The inside of the adapter is radiused to form a velocity stack from the 3.5" filter opening into the 3" stock opening. My hope was to eliminate any air disturbance (don't know of a way to check it!)
Got everything back together and re-jetted. I'm running a lid on (two TPI valve) config. and so for it looks like I need to adjust my needle to lean it out a bit. My mid range is way rich...might move clip from #2 to #1.
Once I put some miles on this way, I plan on removing the top and seeing what gains that will give me (I was tired of jetting this week (and it was 113 today), so that project will wait till next time). Also going up in altitude next weekend, so I'm curious to see if removing the lid will allow me to run better (and not be too lean)
What do you guys think???

Mine is an '08...I've got a couple of bills into this right now, custom adapter, filter, second airbox, A/F gauge...but WTF, no more filter oil!!!!
I got it dialed in as best I can. Running a Dynojet #138 front and #140 rear. 1 1/2 turns out on the air screw and moved the needle clip to #1. The main jets and idle run around 12.3 - 12.8, but the needle is still rich at around 10.8 - 11.4. This config is two TPI valves (full open) on the lid. Anyone know where to get different needles????

"The most important program on your computer is your web browser—and yet most people aren't sure which web browser they're using or what a web browser even is." So begins a video, posted on Google's official blog, which briefly attempts to remedy that problem.
Given that information, you might expect Microsoft Internet Explorer, Windows' built-in web browser, to be the most popular browser in the world—and you wouldn't be far wrong. Between IE6 and IE7, Microsoft's own browser had a higher market share than any other until January 2009.
According to W3Schools, the current most popular browser is Mozilla Firefox with 46.5% of the market. This is likely due to the good publicity Firefox has received since 2004, when Forbes declared it the best browser. Since then, PC World and CNET.com have both compared it favorably to Internet Explorer. Firefox included tabbed browsing long before it was standard and, in 2006, Mozilla was known to respond more quickly to vulnerabilities in their browser than Microsoft.
The fastest growing browser is also the most recently introduced. Google's Chrome has, since its release in September 2008, snapped up 11.6% of the market—making it the third most popular browser in the world.

A comic book super villain appearing in DC Comics. Real name Slade Wilson, also known as Deathstroke the Terminator. Highly skilled assassin and mercenary. Basically Batman with swords and guns. With a blind eye. And wear orange. Real badass. Not someone you want to meet in a dark street at night. Master strategist like Batman, once kicked the justice league's ass as easily as making an instant noodle. Deadpool is a ripoff of Deathstroke. Slade Wilson, Wade Wilson, you get where I'm going? One word: badass.

Commonly confused for being the comic book supervillain, Deathstroke actually refers to the act of defiling one's own dead body in dishonorable, unspeakable ways. Yeah, probably as a ghost. But not necessarily.
Jim: Hey, did you hear, deathstroke has his own comic series.
John: Well, I've been known to deathstroke in my day, but don't you think that's a bit graphic to be in a comic book?

There are pessimists –or realists– depending on how one interprets events in Pakistan and Afghanistan who actually believe things are not getting better. Prime Minister David Cameron, in a recent speech in India, blasted the Pakistan government, and its secret agency, the ISI, for working WITH the Taliban rather than against them. His words shocked many in Islamabad who believe their government is doing everything possible and resents attacks on its beloved ISI. President Asif Zardari responded to Cameron's remarks by arguing that while, "the international community to which Pakistan belongs is losing the war against the Taliban, " but anyone who expresses agrees with his views by expressing doubts and fears about our determination" to defeat terrorists is simply helping the enemy. David Cameron repeated his statement of concern as to whether the ISI was on our or that of the Taliban.
Zardari is absolutely right, we are losing the war against the Taliban. Cameron is absolutely right, the ISI is on the wrong side in this war. So, what to do? How about getting the ISI on the fight AGAINST the Taliban? If they did so, we might actually have improved chances for success.

Take your time and cast a wide net.
That's the mantra a majority of the council has adopted when it sets course on finding a new city manager on Tuesday.
Mayor Jonathan Rothschild said the council will discuss the broad outlines of how it wants to pursue a search for a new city manager.
"It will relate to do we want a national search or local candidate. If it's national, should we hire an outside firm to conduct it, and possibly discuss the qualities we want in a new manager," Rothschild said.
Rothschild favors looking outside the city. "I think we have good local candidates and have a solid management team," Rothschild said. "But I want to conduct a national search, and take a look at what the world has to offer."
Councilwoman Karin Uhlich supports the move and believes the city will have to turn to an outside firm to conduct it since the city's human resources staff will have its hands full this year with union contract negotiations.
She said she'll be looking for a candidate with experience working with a diverse population and can direct the city through its continued restructuring.
"We've been consolidating and there's been lots of change," Uhlich said. "Ideally, we'd have somebody who's been effective in managing change and reorganization."
The city has rushed through the hiring process for the past several managers, Uhlich said. And that's something she wants to avoid.
"It's one of the most important decisions we will be making for years to come so I think it is important we take our time and have a good, deliberate process," she said.
And that means the council will probably have to appoint an interim city manager this summer. Miranda retires July 31.
While the appointment is likely inevitable, Rothschild doesn't want it to hinder the hiring process.
He said ideal candidates would already be top-level executives in another city. Those folks would hesitate to apply if they think the job process is just a pretext to hand over the position to whoever filled the interim spot, he said.
Councilman Paul Cunningham concurs. "The heir apparent cannot be in the job already," he said.
To prevent this, Cunningham will suggest the council adopt a stipulation that any interim city manager must not be eligible for the job.
Cunnighham won't have to worry about Councilman Steve Kozachik thwarting his motion.
"I'm going to be very public in telegraphing my vote that I will not vote in favor of promoting any current city employee to become our new city manager," Kozachik said. "That's not a slap at anybody's credentials. It simply reflects my belief that we'll benefit from bringing in some new blood with some fresh perspectives and somebody who hasn't got any existing alliances within the city hierarchy."
Kozachik said he would like a charter change requiring a supermajority vote on the council to oust a manager. He said it would attract higher-caliber talent to apply.
"We'd get better candidates, and once in the position the city manager would be more inclined to dig in and tell us what we need to hear, and not what he or she thinks we want to hear," Kozachik said.
A charter change might no be necessary since technically a super-majority vote already exists.
Under the charter, the mayor can cast a vote to hire a city manager, said City Attorney Mike Rankin. But the mayor can't vote to fire him or her. That means at least four of the six council members must be on board if they want to dump someone.
Rankin said he didn't know when or why the provision was included in the charter.

Not the Center Verse of the Bible:
Psalm 118:8
Note: the following is an "Urban Legend." It is Not true:
Q. What is the shortest Chapter in the Bible?
A. Psalm 117
Q. What is the longest Chapter in the Bible?
A. Psalm 119
Q. Which Chapter is in the exact center of the Bible?
A. Psalm 118
Fact: There are 594 Chapters before Psalm 118. (Not true.)
Fact: There are 594 Chapters after Psalm 118. (Not true.)
...Add these Chapters together and the total is: 1188.
Q. What is the Center Verse in the Bible?
A. Psalm 118:8 (Psalm 118:8 is Not the "Center Verse" of the Bible.)
Q. Does this Verse say something significant about God's Perfect Will for our lives?
A. The next time someone says they would like to find God's Perfect Will for their life, and that they want to be in the Center of His Will...just send them to Psalm 118:8!
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man."
-Psalm 118:8
Note: the actual Chapter count totals are:
Total: 593 Chapters
Note: As you can see, Psalm 118 is therefore not the center chapter of the Bible. There are 594 chapters up to (and including) Psalm 116, and 594 Chapters from 118 on (including Psalm 118).
This makes Psalm 117, (not Psalm 118) the center chapter of the Bible.
Psalm 117 is the shortest Psalm. It has only two verses, and therefore no "center" verse. ___________________________________
Psalm 117:
1. O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him all ye people.
2. For his merciful kindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord.
There is in fact No Center Verse of the Bible---the KJV Bible has an Even Number of verses.
The King James Bible has
31,174 verses — an even number — so there is no one
"center" verse: the center would be a combination of the
15,587th and the 15,588th verses, which do fall within
But what about the Bible in other Language translations? What about the Hebrew Old Testament, the Septuagint, The Vulgate, the Coverdale Bible? What about the "original autographs" --- the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts?
The Hebrew text of the Old Testament, as well as the Greek New Testament, originally had NO Verse or Chapter Divisions (these were added to the Bible between 1205 A.D. and 1565 A.D. --- over 1,000 years after the time of Christ), so it's really a moot point.
(Historical explanation below by: Daniel P. Fuller)
The present chapter divisions in our Bibles were invented in 1205 by Stephen Langton, a professor in Paris (he later became Archbishop of Canterbury), who put these into a Vulgate edition of the Bible. These chapter divisions were first used by the Jews in 1330 for the Hebrew Old Testament in a manuscript and for a printed edition in 1516. This system of chapter divisions likewise came into the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament in the 1400s.
It was Robert Stephanus, a Parisian book printer, whose versification of the Bible has prevailed to the present. He took over the verse divisions already indicated in the Hebrew Bible by the soph pasuq and assigned numbers to them within the chapter divisions already assigned by Stephan Langton. While riding on horseback from Paris to Lyons he affixed his own verse divisions to the New Testament and numbered them within Langton's chapter divisions.
But through Stephanus the versification of the Old Testament found its way into the Hebrew Bible printed first in 1571. Then Theodor Beza's use of Stephanus' verse and chapter divisions in his edition of the textus receptus of the New Testament (1565) assured them the permanence that they enjoy in our Bibles today. ___________________________________

I purchased MW2 yesterday and began to download it, but everytime I choose to play a game from steam I have to click on the actual icon of the game from my desktop because if I use steam as the launching point of a game, it freezes and it reads "Steam 737207 isn't responding" those aren't the actual numbers, but pretty close. Anyways aside from that, everytime I try and turn off my computer while the download is still going it automatically starts back to 0% once I turn it back on. Any help?

Refining New Zealand shareholders voted in favour of a $365 million upgrade of its Marsden Pt refinery at the company's annual meeting yesterday in a vote that revealed a split between its major oil company shareholders.
In February, the directors decided to support an investment of $365 million in a Continuous Catalyst Regeneration Platformer (CCR) but the vote was not unanimous.
Refining NZ, formerly the New Zealand Refining Co, is 23.6 per cent owned by BP, 19.2 per cent by Mobil, 14 per cent by Z Energy and 12.7 per cent by Chevron. Garlow Management, a Canadian investment trust, owns 8.12 per cent and individual shareholders own about 17 per cent.
The size of the project meant the company needed a simple majority at yesterday's meeting to approve the expenditure necessary for its construction. As it turned out, 64.5 per cent voted in favour of the project and 35.5 per cent against.
BP voted in favour, as did Z Energy, but the numbers suggested Mobil and Chevron voted against it.
Individual shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour.
Chief executive Ken Rivers said he was rehearsing what he would say to the media if the vote had failed when the result came through.
Rivers and chairman David Jackson went to Canada last weekend to talk to representatives of Garlow and managed to win their support.
"It was important to get Garlow on board , but we really needed to have the backing of at least two of the majors to get it through."
He said the argument that the project would create $100 million in extra margin and throughput was compelling, as was the refinery's natural ability to undercut imports by virtue of its location.
BP's managing director, Mike McGuinness, said BP had taken a long term view.
"This is a good long-term project for the country, the refinery and for BP," he said.
Z Energy, which is owned by the New Zealand Superannuation Fund and Infratil, said the less-than-unanimous support for the project showed that New Zealand's downstream fuel industry was continuing to evolve and fragment.
"This is consistent with what we are seeing across New Zealand's fuel supply chain, with a reluctance to invest capital in New Zealand's infrastructure and an increasingly tight and fragile supply chain developing as a result.
"We're pleased that this project is continuing because, on balance, we think it has the potential to deliver the cheapest fuel to New Zealand."
The project, which will be funded by debt, comes at a time when many refineries in the developed world are struggling. The upgrade will enable Refining NZ to expand its petrol refining capacity to meet 65 per cent of local needs from the current 55 per cent but the company warned that its dividend payout would fall during the four-year construction period.
The decision removes one uncertainty for Refining NZ but it does not solve the problem of declining margins, which have shrunk to around US$4.17 a barrel from US$11 in 2008.
Had the project not been approved, the company's fall-back position would have been to invest $105 million to replace its current platformer, which dates back to the 1960s.
Refining NZ shares gained 10c to $2.85 once the stock came off a trading halt put in place for the duration of the meeting, but it was still well short of last April's level of $4.56.
The vote
* Refining NZ won 64.5 per cent support for its $365m upgrade.
* Although support from the company's 27 per cent of non-oil company shareholders was almost unanimous at 99.8 per cent, the split between oil company shareholders' votes was 56 per cent for compared with 44 per cent against.

When I was almost 7, we (my Mum, Dad and then 4 year old Sister) went on holiday. We went on holiday to Disney World. It was like no other holiday we had ever been on before. For starters it took 9 hours to get there on a plane!
I remember lots of things about this holiday, I have a very good memory. However, there is one thing in particular that I remember the most, and to be honest I think about this memory a lot!
Back in the day, when I was almost 7, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (or Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles as they were later known) were a big part of my life. My Sister and I were obsessed with the programme and the 4 Turtles were just awesome to us. Of course, my favourite was Donatello (the purple one). He was the coolest one. He was my hero.
So one day on our holiday in Disney World, we were in what was then known (and is still known to me) as MGM studios, now called Disney Hollywood Studios. My Sister and I were happily playing together (that is a miracle right there), we turned a corner and there they were. All four turtles. Standing right there, on the same street as us.
That is me on the right, my Sister on the left and Donatello signing my Autograph book. Yes thats right, I have Donatello's autograph, how cool am I?!
The rest of the holiday and for many years afterwards that is all we talked about. We could not believe that we had met them! They were our childhood heros! It was a truly magical moment and it makes me smile so much whenever I think about it. The excitement in mine and my Sisters faces must have been fantastic for our parents to see.
That childhood memory, is the reason I love Disney so much. It is the memory I think of whenever I think of holidays as a child, in fact, its the memory I think of when anyone mentions my childhood!
That memory is also the reason that we are taking Chester and Millie to that exact same place later this year. I want my children to experience that excitement. I think every child has a hero, but to be able to meet your hero is just beyond amazing and hopefully like me, its something that children will remember for a long time.
Competition sponsored by Butlins Holiday Parks, helping your family make memories.

CHICAGO - Six members of the 2012 Loyola University Chicago softball team have been tabbed National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-America Scholar-Athletes, it was announced this week. That total represents the Ramblers' highest number of honorees since securing nine spots on the NFCA Scholar-Athlete Team in 2008.
Brooke Andresen (Woodridge, Ill./Downers Grove South), Lauren Arceneaux (Algonquin, Ill./Jacobs), Emily Bentley (Midland, Mich./Midland), Hannah Berris (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield North), Keali Engelkens (Milledgeville, Ill./Milledgeville), and Seana Stillson (Oak Park, Ill./Oak Park River Forest) all received NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete recognition for their academic achievements in 2011-12.
"Our team prides itself on excellence on the field, in the classroom and in the community, and these six young women epitomize the term student-athlete," third-year Loyola head coach Missy Beseres said. "I couldn't be more proud of how they represent our program."
Presented to any player submitted by a member coach who achieved a 3.50 grade-point average or higher during the 2011-12 academic year, NFCA All-America Scholar-Athletes represent the best and the brightest in collegiate softball.
Earlier this fall, Loyola was also recognized by the NFCA for having a team GPA of 3.35 in 2011-12, a figure that ranked No. 32 in the nation and third among Horizon League schools.
Loyola opens up the 2013 campaign at the Kickin' Chicken Classic hosted by Coastal Carolina University, February 22.

Auckland City can thank their cross-town rivals Waitakere United for sneaking into the semifinals of the Oceania Champions League.
Waitakere needed to beat AS Pirae in Lautoka, Fiji, yesterday to progress to the final four but lost 3-1 to the Tahitian club.
Defeat meant Waitakere missed out at the expense of Auckland, who qualified as the best second-placed team in the 12-team tournament and they will fancy their chances of progressing to the Club World Cup, especially as the competition now enters the home-and-away phase. They were the strongest team at the tournament but slipped up yesterday with a 1-0 loss to Amicale when they enjoyed 70 per cent possession.
Auckland will meet Pirae in the semifinals with the first leg at the end of the month.
The only way both New Zealand sides would have progressed to the semifinals was if Waitakere beat Pirae by five goals or more. Auckland are better equipped to win the Champions League given their stronger squad and experience, which have seen them play in the past three Club World Cups.
Waitakere have only themselves to blame for failing to make the semifinals. Playing in what was considered the weakest group of the three, they struggled to an unconvincing 2-0 win over Kiwi FC (Samoa) and then drew 1-1 with Solomon Warriors before their defeat to Pirae.
It ends an unhappy season for Waitakere which also saw them miss the playoffs of the ASB Premiership even though they went in as four-time defending champions.
Waitakere United 1 (Joel Stevens 57) AS Pirae 3 (Raimana Li Fung Kuee 1, Naea Bennett 17, Jimmy Tepa 90 + 2). HT: 0-2.

Date of Stay: January, 2012
This is a nice park if you are looking for a resort. I didn't make any use of the amenities except the post office. I like this park mainly for the quiet, wide and spacious sites. The water pressure was slightly low and water quality acceptable. The main problem is the poor cellular coverage for both voice and data. It fades in and out and when it finally connects it is excruciatingly slow. The coup de grace for this rating is the price. It is not commensurate with the value received.
Date of Stay: December, 2011
I had a premium site. This is Disney. What else is there to say. For those who love Disney no matter what the review is, they will love it here. Disney has a cult-like following. Disney is a marketing machine. They've got it down to a science. I think this park is perfect. It is absolutely the best RV resort I've stayed at. The sites are spacious, clean and give you a great sense of being a part of the forest. Water quality is good and with Verizon 4G. The only reason I couldn't give it a 10, is because it is just too darn expensive, but then you are paying for the Disney experience. I won't even bother expounding on any other details and benefits of this resort. If you are coming to Disney, stay here. Forget about any other talk about other RV parks. In spite of the cost, I would stay here again.
Date of Stay: December, 2011
I had one of the pull-through sites in the back, and it was tiny, very narrow and short. But the problem is only compounded by the extremely narrow roads. Because of the short and narrow sites everyone have to park their toads at the edge, if not over the edge of their sites. So if you are trying to pull out when your neighbor's toad is still parked, forget about it. The site is not well paved and it is muddy when wet. I like the little redwood bark they put under the water spigot to keep the water hookup area clean. The water quality is acceptable. The last item I want to mention is not really Themeworld's fault, but inconsiderate neighbors. It was either my immediate neighbor or someone walking their dog, allowed it to do its business on my site and didn't pick it up. I have the misfortune of stepping on it when I was preparing to leave. At least the office staff was nice anyway.
Date of Stay: December, 2011
Sites are narrow and mostly grassy. I would have given this park a 7/10 rating if I had one of the concrete padded sites, as it is the ground can get muddy, dirty and breeding for mosquito's. Water quality is acceptable. 4G is available for Verizon.
Date of Stay: December, 2011
Spacious pull through, quiet, peaceful, a nice camping environment surrounded by mature tree to relax in. Nice and friendly owner. I would stay here again.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
Spacious pull through and well kept clean park. Excellent water quality. Super friendly staff. Definitely will stay here again.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
This is a total dump. The site was not level, tight, muddy, water spigot too close to the ground, water quality was horrible at over 1000 Total Dissolved Solids. There are too many long term residents. The RVers in back of me came back at 2am and they were making so much noise that it woke me up. OK I didn't get a good night sleep but at least I get to wake up early to the smell of noxious sewage. Can I find one nice thing to say about this place? The office staff was nice.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
It has nice spacious sites with concrete pads. The park is clean. The staff is friendly. The water quality is horrible with sodium and total dissolved solids content off the charts.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
One of the best RV sites I've seen, even the back-in sites are spacious concrete pads with picnic tables. The pull-through sites are like double sites with oceans of space. The road in the park is wide and well paved. Unfortunately the monthly section of the park has narrow and short sites. They offer shuttle service between the RV park and casino. Although there are plenty of restaurants in the casino only Toby Keith is worth eating in. But before you can get to any restaurant you must experience what a piece of meat feels like in a smoker. The casino is drenched in cigarette smoke. Finally I can't give this park any higher rating due to the extremely poor water quality with high TDS and sodium content. It has 3G Verizon coverage.

After 20 years of struggling I decided the time was right to return to school. Previously I attended a Beauty School that closed down and unfortunately was caught up in a Fraud Scam. I made it through and finally got a license to do hair. Now that I can't do hair anymore ,because of medical problems I went on-line to find a school that I could attend at home. I spoke with several schools but decided on Kaplan for some reason or another.
The first thing that I told Mr. Jeffrey Talani was that: while applying for another school, I was told that I may have a outstanding student loan. He assured me that he could check that out with no time at all. He called me back and assured me that we could continue on with the enrollment process, because I had no outstanding student debt at all. Next day he calls,as he did every morning at 10am . We went through the process and everything is fine. Next day he says that the school financial aid department wants me to send in 75.00 dollars of "good faith money". I ask a lot of questions and was reassured that if anything went wrong the money would be credited back to my friends account. I had to borrow the money, and sent them 70.00 dollars because this was all my friend had.
A week before school is to start I get a call saying that my financial aid application has been Denied do to an "OUTSTANDING STUDENT LOAN" the same loan that I told them about from day one when they promised me if I had a debt it would definitely show up on there computer. I was BLOCKED OUT of all classes, and told that I need to contact every TOM,d**k,and Harry in the school to get a refund. The 10am phone calls stopped and I have yet to here from anyone. This 70.00 was not a deposit financial aid was supposed to pay for the entire course.

The best way to get your money back is by contacting student accounts . Another way you can expedite this is by contqcting your glorious admission advisors and tell them you need to speak with the admissions manager to process your deposit refund. The admissions manager is the one that needs to send the cancellation notice to student accounts so you can recieve your deposit back.
I hope that you cancelled 7 days before classes started because otherwise, you can kiss your money goodbye. Read the fine print in your enrollment agreement

Cooler temps ahead, but no snow in the forecast
The Brainerd lakes area was in a hazardous weather outlook covering northeast Minnesota Sunday but had little to show for it beyond a few flakes in Brainerd through much of Sunday.
The National Weather Service in Duluth forecast called for less than an inch in the lakes area Sunday with snow showers possible again Monday. But don't worry about getting the snowblowers out just yet.
Overall, the lakes area reported a stray dusting but no measurable snowfall. The hazardous outlook covering northeastern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin appeared more geared for possible snow showers to the east of Minnesota's borders.
The weather service reported accumulations were not expected to be significant and a quiet weather pattern is anticipated throughout the week.
Amanda Graning, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Duluth, said the long-term forecast is favorable for anglers as it looks good for making ice.
"We're looking at our coldest night so far coming up Monday," Graning said of Brainerd's forecast calling for its first sub-zero night of this winter season.
"It will be a fairly chilly week compared to what we've been seeing."
So while the snow shovels are still at rest, it may be time to put on another layer or two. The overnight low on Monday is expected to reach four below.
But it is the only sub-zero temperature forecast for the week. Highs should range between the upper teens and low 20s with partly cloudy or mostly sunny days all week.
Milder temperatures may not be a thing of the past just yet, though, as a high of 31 is in the forecast Sunday.
Those wishing for a white Christmas will have to continue to wait. The weather service says there is no snow in the forecast for the next seven days. Other parts of the state did receive some snow cover Saturday.
A few inches of snow made for a busy Saturday night and Sunday morning for the Minnesota State Patrol, where troopers responded to a few hundred accidents and spin-outs, The Associated Press reported.
Lt. Eric Roeske told WCCO Radio that between 4 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday, there were 189 crashes statewide with 22 involving injuries. The State Patrol also dealt with 193 vehicles that went off the road or spun out.
Those figures include 103 crashes, with 11 involving injuries in the Twin Cities area, where 103 vehicles went off the road or spun out.
The Patrol reported one fatality, a pedestrian struck while crossing state Highway 48 east of Hinckley in Pine County on Saturday night, but it was not weather related. The victim was identified as 63-year-old Michael B. Giguere of Pine City.

The Eltham Savage Club awarded a 60-year membership badge to Don Drabble whose legacy includes a rise-and-fall stage.
Club member Jim Frandsen told the Stratford Press that Don has, over the years, been a great worker for the club, doing all the required electrical work, and helping with all the building needs and painting.
``His workmanship has always been of the highest quality, and his efforts may be seen all around the hall. None
more so than the designing and the making of the rise-and-fall stage which Eltham's Savages are so proud of.
``There would be very few New Zealand halls that when lowered almost double the hall size, combining the supper room with the main hall.''
Don has performed throughout New Zealand as a songster, musician, storyteller and sketch artist as well as
being in a haka group, and to many groups including the RSA and senior citizens.
`His harmonica playing was of note, as was his keyboard and double bass playing,'' adds Jim.
Past dominion president Patsy Lawson presented the badge to Don.
Don's wife Margaret has also been a member of the club for a number of years.
``It was a wonderful evening for all and Don enjoyed cutting the cake that had been presented in his honour and the congratulations that went with it.''
Don is a life member of the club and is a past Rangatira and long-time committee member who has served the club over 60 years ``with distinction''.

Filmmaker Spike Lee jumps feet first into the territory traveled by his nemesis, Quentin Tarantino: Revenge and Violence. And, he laces his new film, "Oldboy," with a touch of Alfred Hitchcock, which is the saving grace.
A "reinterpretation" of Park Chan-wook's Korean cult hit of the same name, "Oldboy," is often distasteful, but never boring. It keeps you guessing until the final moment.
Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin) is a louse. Alcoholic and abusive, he is an advertising executive, who in 1993, staggers through city streets in a drunken stupor, only to awake, naked in a strange motel room, lacking windows and an entry/exit door. He is held captive in that room for the next 20 years.
Every day, through a small portal, he is provided with dumplings from a Chinese restaurant and a pint of Vodka. Intermittently, news updates appear on a TV screen, one of which announces that he is the at-large suspect in the brutal murder rape of his ex-wife. They leave behind a young daughter, who is raised by foster parents to become an acclaimed cellist. Riddled with guilt and confusion, Joe is obsessed with escaping to reconcile with his daughter, to whom he writes piles of un-mailed letters.
Finally, his day of deliverance comes. After being sedated, he wakes up inside a trunk, which he opens to find himself in a grassy field.
The rest of the film is about Joe's relentless search to find his daughter and wreak revenge on his oppressors. Somehow, he manages to do this with the help of trusting social worker Marie (Elizabeth Olsen), a hammer, and the mysterious evil one, himself.
While "Oldboy" may seem to be a departure from the usual street-smart fare from Spike Lee ("Do the Right Thing," "Jungle Fever," "Mo' Better Blues"), he did make an excellent crime caper, "Inside Man," in 2006.
"Oldboy" is moving down through that thriller maze, but in a decidedly off-beat way. It shows that the versatile Lee can make movies that amaze.

British Gas is set to hit millions of families with a rise in energy prices that could add £100 a year to household bills.
The country's biggest power supplier is preparing to reveal as early as tomorrow that it is putting up its gas and electricity tariffs to record levels, the Standard has learned.
Its rise is expected to be in "high single digits" — close to the nine per cent increase from rival Scottish & Southern Energy that comes into force on Monday.
The average British Gas dual fuel bill for gas and electricity now stands at £1,260. A five per cent rise would add £63, while an eight per cent increase would put on £100. The new higher prices are expected to kick in next month.
The supplier, which has about 16 million domestic customers, will say it is forced into the move by rising wholesale energy and other costs. However, consumer groups insisted its huge profits mean it could easily afford to delay the rise.
Parent company Centrica's first-half profit was up 15 per cent to £1.45 billion. That included £345 million, a 23 per cent rise, from supplying power and heating to homes.
The planned move will raise new fears for the growing number of Britons in fuel poverty — those who spend more than 10 per cent of their income on gas and electricity.
Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at uSwitch, said: "This announcement will send consumers reeling. It is the death knell for any hope that suppliers would hold off from price rises until after winter. Consumers will be bitterly disappointed. The pressure of an extra £100 or so on energy bills will leave many buckling and forced to face another winter when they are scared to turn on heating for fear of cost."
Last year, when all the big six power suppliers increased their prices, eight in 10 British households rationed their energy use because of cost worries.
Shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint said: "People will not understand why British Gas are putting up prices after their interim financial report showed profits on UK residential customers up 23 per cent compared with the same period last year."
British Gas warned as early as May that bills would have to go up. From Monday average dual bills for the five million customers of Britain's second-biggest energy company SSE, which operates in London as Southern Electric, will hit £1,354 a year.
Other big suppliers — including EdF, Scottish Power and NPower — are now expected to announce higher prices. E.ON, the only supplier to guarantee a price freeze for 2012, this week refused to extend this commitment into 2013.
All suppliers cut their prices slightly at the start of the year, with British Gas lowering its electricity tariff by five per cent. Although wholesale energy costs have remained well below their peaks this year, the prices which British Gas has had to pay for gas in advance of the winter are about 15 per cent higher than last year.
Energy Secretary Ed Davey said: "The fact is that no government can control world energy prices — but we are acting to help people cut the size of the bills they actually pay.
"That's why we encourage people to switch to better deals and we are looking at new ways to make that easier, like group purchase.
"It's also why we want to help people take advantage of insulation offers, so their homes are warmer for less, and why we have special help with energy bills for those most in need."
Shadow energy secretary Caroline Flint said: "People will not understand why British Gas are putting prices up, despite their interim financial report showing profits on UK residential customers being up by 23 per cent, compared to the same period last year.
"Hard-pressed families and businesses need much more transparency on costs, pricing and profits to know whether they're getting a fair deal, but the Government's Energy Bill does nothing to reform the energy market. We need a one nation government to break the dominance of the energy giants, to simplify tariffs, and to protect vulnerable customers from being ripped off.
"Unless ministers get to grips with spiralling energy bills, people will rightly think that this Government is completely out of touch with families and pensioners struggling to make ends meet."
British Gas said: "We do not comment on future pricing decisions."
Nights draw in and bills rise
Analysis: Jonathan Prynn Consumer Business Editor
IT'S THAT time of year again. Nights drawing in, clocks soon to go back, central heating on and, bang, up go energy bills. First Southern Electric with its nine per cent rise on Monday with British Gas and the others following.
The industry knows that its credibility is on the line. Labour leader Ed Miliband has placed the rising cost of those essentials — heat, light and power — right at the top of the political agenda.
The "big six" suppliers have promised to clean up their act by making bills easier to understand and that is welcome. But at a time when there are ominous rumblings about rising food bills, it will come as grim news for most families that another of their unavoidable costs will be going up as Christmas approaches.
The suppliers argue that they have to make respectable profits to fund the vast investment needed in new power stations and energy infrastructure. And there is much truth in that. Their problem is that a legacy of doorstep mis-selling, poor customer service and indecipherable billing means that trust in energy companies is little higher than in banking.
They are working hard to put that right and it's true that many of the costs they face are beyond their control, some of them imposed by government. The new "face" of trade body Energy UK — Angela Knight — likes a challenge: she previously led the British Bankers' Association. It's going to be a tough gig.

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Mid 2009 MBP - Not compatible 12/05/2013
This review is from: SanDisk Ultra Plus 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SDSSDHP-256G-G25
Cheap price
Not compatible with certain nvidia chipsets in the Mid 2009 line of Macbook pros, leading it to behave more slowly than a traditional SATAI disk. Unable to use computer with it installed.
Other Thoughts:
Filing for return and buying a non-sandisk drive that has proven compatible with my nvidia chipset. (MCP7)
Manufacturer Response:
Dear dotLou,
This is Michael from SanDisk support. Please note that the issue that you are facing is due to the Nvidia MCP79 chipset. This SATA chipset does not correctly negotiate the SATA link speed for many SSDs. Using other SSD may also pose a similar situation because the issue lies in the speed negotiation done by MCP79 SATA chipset. A small number of manufacturers have chosen to release a FW that will lock the SSD in SATA 3Gb as a work around. SanDisk has not released an Extreme II SSD FW specific for this Nvidia MCP79 SATA chipset compatibility issue. If there is anything we can assist you with please contact SanDisk support at 1-866-SANDISK or submit a support request at www.sandisk.com./ask.
Thank you,
SanDisk Support

A visit to the destruction of the PostCS-building and to the notorious Bijlmermeer-area, a seventies high-density housing development in the South-East of Amsterdam, was the apotheosis of MovingCities' recent Amsterdam trip. A couple of snapshots and related Rem Koolhaas stories.
The Post CS-building used to be an old postal service building, located on walking distance from Amsterdam Central Station. Throughout the past four years the building had the flair of a creative concrete box, unassuming temporary in its lay-out, a beehive for creative hipsters, the critical global conference-crew and architects in need for a table and an internet connection. On top, it had possibly Amsterdam's best urban view on its top floor, from the now legendary Club11
Now the cranes have replaced the creatives and the adjacent Amsterdam Public Library had set a new architectural style, ending the concrete-era and introducing the politically-correct-public-building era. Post CS used to be the base of Mediamatic Lab, is a web2.0 agency based which designs social networks, communities and connections with the physical world. Their exhibition-space displayed in 2005 the F.A.S.T.-project (Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territory) and outcome of the architecture competition. Later on Bert de Muynck | MovingCties gave in Mediamatic's Spatial Slide Salon a presentation about his experience in participating in the 'Capturing the Moving Mind: Management and Movement in the Age of Permanently Temporary War' an Ephemera conference on the Trans-Siberian train (Moscow – Novosibirsk – Beijing, September 2005).
The last stop of the trip was Amsterdam's notorious Bijlmermeer-development, a social housing neighborhood designed as a single project built up out of several, nearly identical high rise buildings. In 1986, Rem Koolhaas | OMA wrote a text about this area called "Las Vegas of the Welfare State" and in presented the Bijlmermeer Redevelopment-project.
A lot of information can be found on the plans, and redevelopment schemes, for the Bijlmermeer. The LOT-website offers a summarized version of history of the Bijlmermeer:
Despite harsh criticism, Rem Koolhaas was one of the few to see the potential of the Bijlmer, even if it was more of a symbolic nature: "What Las Vegas is to late capitalism, Bijlmer is to the welfare state." The Bijlmer came to the media's attention in 1992 when an El Al Boeing 747 crashed into the blocks of houses.
An extensive history was published in 1992 by Anne Luijten in Archis. In "A barrel of contradictions | The dynamic history of the Bijlmermeer" the author offers a background about to the zoning regulations, changing jurisdiction and responsibilities that have made the area for decades float in-between displacement, destruction, cultural tensions and architectural shock and awe.
A couple of longer pieces have been written about the plans and analysis that were developed in the 1980s by Rem Koolhaas | OMA. A short study about Rem Koolhaas / S,M,L,XL gives an insight in several urban schemes for Amsterdam and Paris in the 1980s. The text quotes a terrific example of Koolhaas' critical-elusive thinking on the subject: "The Bijlmer offers boredom on a heroic scale. In its monotony, harshness, and even brutality, it is, ironically, refreshing."
The "Design for the renewal of the Bijlmer Park"-publication was commissioned by Municipality of Amsterdam Southeast in 2007 and gives an overview of the design by Mecanoo Architects (winners design competition Bijlmer Park 2003). In the project proposal the architects state their idea is a development of following Koolhaas-analysis:
As early as 1986, Rem Koolhaas stated that it was the homogeneity of the ground level that had to be dealt with. He lamented the fact that urban life for 50,000 people had been reduced to such innocent activities as taking a walk, dabbling their toes in a pond or fishing.

What is in this article?:
- Secure Objectives for School Security
- What Are Campuses Using for Access Control?
- Credential Crisis
In a study conducted among more than 980 American four-year and two-year colleges and universities, including institutions such as the University of Michigan, MIT, UCLA and Columbia, security staff and other administrators identified the five leading goals for their security systems:
1. Preventing unauthorized people from entering their facilities.
2. Maximizing the likelihood that students can comply with the intended access design.
3. Providing real-time notification when problems occur.
4. Minimizing the time it takes to lock down the campus.
5. Finding building occupants quickly in an emergency.
However, students do not correlate schools' No. 1 concern, ensuring only authorized entry, with a direct threat to their safety. Violence, threats from non-students, and stalking, among others, are the top five items from which they believe the school should be protecting them:
1. Gun and knife violence/murder/shootings.
2. Rape/sexual harassment/stalking.
3. Muggings/theft/identity theft.
4. Protection from non-students/homeless people/outsiders.
5. Crimes committed by fellow students (e.g., fights, hate crimes, bullying, hazing and discrimination).
Indeed, more than 50 percent of all students mentioned numbers 1 to 3 above.
Yet, to make matters worse, when responses were tallied among different departments among the colleges—housing/residential life, facilities management, IT and one-card departments—with the exception of unauthorized entry, there was very little unanimity about the main tasks of their access-control systems (see sidebar).
Different objectives
This divergence can be explained by how different departments view their objectives. Facilities and public safety, the key stakeholders in 57 percent of colleges, are more traditional in their approach; IT, one-card and housing departments are more customer/student-oriented. The focus is evolving from the former to the latter.
When the IT, one-card or housing departments are the key stakeholders, the solutions are more innovative. For instance, the one-card department considers convenience, customer service, improving customer experiences and including the students' perceptions in the access-control decision as primary concerns. IT's major focus is measuring the return on investment to the higher-education institution to improve options for upgrading.
Today, facilities and public safety are the primary stakeholders when determined by department on 57 percent of campuses. Following them are IT (17 percent), one-card (10 percent), housing (10 percent) and other (6 percent). In general, the focus on access control on campus is evolving from the traditional security/product-oriented focus of the facilities and public-safety departments to the broader definition of the IT, one-card and housing departments.
For example, when stakeholders are determined by their roles on campus, facilities and public safety drop to 36 percent, while IT grew to 28 percent, one-card to 16 percent, housing to 13 percent and other stayed at 6 percent.
A key finding is that differing mentalities typically do not occur on the same campus as colleges tend to be solely one or the other in their focus.

This white rose comes from one of two of my iceberg white rose bushes (that are still blooming!) I titled it "Single Silence" because iceberg flowers are floribunda roses that bloom profusely. The bushes happily bloom and the fragrance is delightful and each bud and bloom is surrounded by little friends that compete for beauty with various blossoms.
So a single rose boasting it's quiet beauty all alone stood out from the rest and found it's way onto my canvas and the deep green background adds to the elegant drama of the rose. Enjoy~

" We stayed for 7 nights in this hostel. Actually it was quite different from what we expected. The atmosphere wasn't that good, sirously.. During the last year we have spent a lot of time in different hostels around the world and we would recomment to look for other hostels around. If you are looking for a better place in Capetown, Try to go to long street (downtown) or waterfront (really nice but more expensive) . To say something good: friendly staff, clean bed. Nice Single rooms. "- Anonym

There is something about red lipstick that can add instant glamour to any outfit! I don't know about you but when I think 'glamour', red lips is one of the first things that always comes to mind! … they just seem to go hand in hand! Which is why I truly believe every girl should have the perfect red lipstick for those days when you want an instant pick me up and/or to 'wow' all those who come in sight of you. I actually found this one a few weeks ago and have been addicted to it ever since! It's the Smashbox 'Be Legendary' lipstick in the colour 'Legendary' … and let's just say the name sums it up pretty well!
First of all … Don't you just love how the sleek, straight lines of the tube just make this lipstick look so chic!? It's not one of the reasons why I love it … but it definitely is a bonus!
Why I love this lipstick!:
First, It's highly pigmented with a matte but slightly glossy finish in the perfect shade of 'true red' that has just the right amount of blue to make it extremely flattering! … I have a 'light' to 'olive' complexion but I'm sure it would look good on almost any skin tone!
Second, it's packed with goodies for our lips like Shea butter for moisture and Vitamin C and E to act as antioxidants! If you read my blog you would know that I love multi-tasking products and I always prefer to wear makeup that work to improve features on the inside while enhancing features on the outside. I think it's especially important to have hydrated lips when wearing any bold coloured lipstick because if you have any bit of dry or chapped skin it will show through immediately! (See more Tips To Perfecting Your Bold Coloured Pout here.) … Having a lipstick that hydrates and moisturizes ensures that you won't have this problem and that your lips will always look soft and smooth … Which is exactly what this one does for me!
Hope you guys like this post!

Christopher and Columbus HTML version
The very next morning they set out house-hunting, and two days later they had found
what they wanted. Not exactly what they wanted of course, for the reason, as Anna-
Felicitas explained that nothing ever is exactly, but full of possibilities to the eye of
imagination, and there were six of this sort of eye gazing at the little house.
It stood at right angles to a road much used by motorists because of its beauty, and
hidden from it by trees on the top of a slope of green fields scattered over with live oaks
that gently descended down towards the sea. Its back windows, and those parts of it
that a house is ashamed of, were close up to a thick grove of eucalyptus which
continued to the foot of the mountains. It had an overrun little garden in front, separated
from the fields by a riotous hedge of sweetbriar. It had a few orange, and lemon, and
peach trees on its west side, the survivors of what had once been intended for an
orchard, and a line of pepper trees on the other, between it and the road. Neglected
roses and a huge wistaria clambered over its dilapidated face. Somebody had once
planted syringas, and snowballs, and lilacs along the inside of the line of pepper trees,
and they had grown extravagantly and were an impenetrable screen, even without the
sweeping pepper trees from the road.
It hadn't been lived in for years, and it was well on in decay, being made of wood, but
the situation was perfect for The Open Arms. Every motorist coming up that road would
see the signboard outside the pepper trees, and would certainly want to stop at the neat
little gate, and pass through the flowery tunnel that would be cut through the syringas,
and see what was inside. Other houses were offered of a far higher class, for this one
had never been lived in by gentry, said the house-agent endeavouring to put them off a
thing so broken down. A farmer had had it years back, he told them, and instead of
confining himself to drinking the milk from his own cows, which was the only appropriate
drink for a farmer the agent maintained—he was the president of the local Anti-Vice-In-
All-Its-Forms League—he put his money as he earned it into gin, and the gin into
himself, and so after a bit was done for.
The other houses the agent pressed on them were superior in every way except
situation; but situation being the first consideration, Mr. Twist agreed with the twins, who
had fallen in love with the neglected little house whose shabbiness was being so
industriously hidden by roses, that this was the place, and a week later it and its garden
had been bought—Mr. Twist didn't tell the twins he had bought it, in order to avoid
argument, but it was manifestly the simple thing to do—and over and round and through
it swarmed workmen all day long, like so many diligent and determined ants. Also,
before the week was out, the middle-aged lady had been found and engaged, and a
cook of gifts in the matter of cakes. This is the way you do things in America. You
decide what it is that you really want, and you start right away and get it. "And
everything so cheap too!" exclaimed the twins gleefully, whose £200 was behaving, it
appeared, very like the widow's cruse.
