Shock phone bills draw ultimatum
Page Tools
TELEPHONE companies must immediately tackle the problem of unexpectedly high bills or face Government intervention, Communications Minister Helen Coonan has warned.
She has written to company CEOs saying the Government expects the industry to develop an effective registered code of practice immediately, to protect consumers, especially young people.
The Government will consider more direct action if this is not done soon.
"In some cases surprise bills can cause considerable financial hardship and there are growing consumer concerns over some new premium services," Senator Coonan said.
The popular SMS ring-tone services had raised concern because of the way they were promoted to the young and the difficulties of trying to unsubscribe from some services. "Credit management is an important issue and I'm keen to have it resolved sooner rather than later," the minister said.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority has developed rules requiring companies to inform consumers about financial risks with premium services, the actions customers can take to lessen the risk of unexpected high bills, and to enable people to unsubscribe. These rules have come into effect.
Senator Coonan expected the industry's review of its own code to substantially strengthen it, in consultation with consumer representatives, to deal with the credit-management problems.
The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association yesterday backed the review. Measures to help people manage their spending included pre-paid mobiles, capped deals, online bill checking, and spending alerts, the association said.

I've often thought of taping razor blades at selected sites on an often vandalized car. Can't recommend something so barbaric like that which violates civil rights so severely though.
re: people messing with my car at night
Looks like you need a three car garage.
I have just a few suggestions for you. First, you could think about a car alarm, but you would have to get a really good one that has the different sensors on it (tilt, shock, glass break, ect). But they are kind of a pain in the you know where. If it happens often, you can purchase a fairly decent surveillance camera (I've seen a decent one for around $160) that uses a computer and its memory or records it on a CD. I've seen one and they are pretty slick. That way when it happens again, you can find out who the little B@$t@rds are.
Or you could figure out their pattern, stay up late and shoot one of them.....That would probably make them stop ! Just kidding on the last suggestion, don't do that one.
Also, the last easy suggestion, is your driveway lit at night? If not you should put a motion sensor or a regular on/off floodlight shinning on your car. You can even use energy star bulbs ($6.50 at Wally World) that are cheap to run.
I'll try to think of some more useful ideas.....Good luck keeping the punks from messing with your baby.
Oh come on! this is easy.
Some bait like a fresh repair on what they damaged or something like cash or something of value on the front seat & a video camera.
If you don't want to stay up all night { I would} then get a tripod.
You can hook just about any video camera to a VCR so you can extend your recording pleasure.
Take one car & leave it somewhere else & set up in your garage! and "forget " to close the door.
Not only will you bust them for vandalism but trespass & grand theft.
Now that beats hunting a bambi any day.
Happy Hunting!

Get so Habanero peppers, crush them up in a bowl. Then get some one dollar bills and soak them in the pepper juice. Whatever you do don't touch them with your bare hands or get it one you. Then put the bills somewhere those little juvenile delinquents can see them but don't make it too obvious. If the bills are missing in the morning somebody took them. All it will take is for them to touch those bills and that pepper juice will stay on their fingers for days, even if you wash them with soap and water. Once they touch their face, rub their eyes, or nose they will notice something is wrong, the burning will begin. This would be equivalent to get a face full of pepper spray. It won't permanently hurt them, and I doubt they will equate the bills with their burning eyes or noses.
get a pitbull.
I called the sheriff about vandalism at my place. Car and truck windows broken .stuff stolen spray pain graffitte...etc a neighbor kid said he knew one of the kids... the fuzz said I would just have more trouble if he tried to bust them... I told him to get out of here. My great grandpa trailed the outlaws 2 weeks that shot his deputy; he said no one would ever find where he buried them... I caught some older teenagers in the shop and they asked who I was I said I am the guy holding the gun. One smart a--- said you will get in trouble if you shoot anyone I told him my backhoe would dig a hole 18 feet deep. You wont even stink down there. .. I asked if any one knew how to use a shot gun shell and close pin and a nail and piece of string to blow you foot off. I stretched some fish line around tied to the air horns on the big truck and to car batteries with a turn signal flasher and car horn. I slept in my camper behind the trees at the front gate and one night I heard some kids yell Stop! I just ran into a fish line No more problems with kids coming in at night..
even hotter peppers
Theire are even hotter peppers. I think the guy that is living in the trailer.we have on the west farm has some yellow small ones in his garden he says are very hot.and don't have the pepper smell...
Habenero is the hottest Chilli pepper, but there are hotter peppers of other types
I know Cayan's are hotter than a Jalapeño and they do not smell at all.. they don't even taste like anything IMO. they are pure heat..
i hear peppers make a great insecticide for my garden.
the car has an alarm.
pitbull, no GF's a cat person.
a hidden, night vision camera might work. will the police do anything to kids ?
a subsonic .380HP will do the best job. if i use a shotgun it will wake the neightboors. getting shot is a great deterent. the wound might mellow them kids out...might even be a cure for ADHA.
just kidding , never shoot anybody.

Well unfortunately you can not legally shoot someone over monetary items.
You have to be in imminent danger & in most states {not here! } must be able to prove you could not avoid the situation.
Here used to be that is I walked up on you stabbing your GF & immediately stoopid got up & walked away I could not shoot.
Now I can protect myself especially in my home no matter what.
Crime is down since the new laws!!
Plus they are stoopid kids & the pressure is on to do bigger & better pranks than prior generations.
I never vandalized anyones stuff but I did do some Lightly stoopid stuff not worth getting dead over .

Here in Dallas they caught some guy who was keying Hummers. He had done about 30 of them in a couple of month period. After one guys Hummer got keyed he repaired it and install a motion activated camera. Sure enough, when it happened again it captured a very clear image which appeared in the Dallas Morning News. Several people recognized the jerk and turned him in. It was a 72 year old enviro wacko who said it was unfair for these people to have such a large carbon foot print . He was a member of Greenpeace and the Sierra club.....go figure.
Just find out someway of running a electric current on the car...not sure how you could go about it, I'm sure after they touched it and it "bit" them they wouldn't do it again.

That's a pretty sweet tattoo.
Not sure how much it would hurt, but I think generally the shoulder isn't a bad spot. As for shading, I don't think it'll hurt much... shading is probably done with a very thin utensil.
yea for larger dark areas, theres alot of repitition. but its no worse than having someone roughly scraping their finger nail on you repeatedly. if you can take any pain whatsoever, it's not so bad....if youre a *****, you'll probably whine and ppl will make fun of you

MOSCOW (AP) Seven Russian women, many of them potential Olympic medalists, were banned for two years Monday by their country's federation for manipulating doping samples.
The international ruling body, however, disputes the timing of the suspensions that would allow the athletes to return to competition next year.
The International Association of Athletics Federations plans to challenge the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The women had been provisionally suspended by track and field's governing body in July after a 1½-year investigation and missed the Beijing Games.
Among them are two-time world 1,500-meter champion Tatyana Tomashova and world indoor 1,500-meter champion Yelena Soboleva.
The others are distance runners Yuliya Fomenko and Svetlana Cherkasova, European discus champion Darya Pishchalnikova, former hammer world record-holder Gulfia Khanafeyeva and former world 5,000-meter champion Olga Yegorova.
The athletes faced out-of-competion drug tests in April-May 2007. The IAAF said the athletes had signed for urine samples that were not their own.
The Russian federation said Monday the start of the two-year bans will be backdated to the times of the tests. That means the athletes would be eligible to return next year, including for the world championships in Berlin.
Mikhail Butov, secretary general of the federation, said the decision was based on rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
"The IAAF was investigating the case for 16 months and neither we nor the athletes knew nothing all that time until the IAAF's decision to suspend them in July this year," he said. "The athletes missed the key start of the season and were stripped of all the results and prize money."
The IAAF, however, wants the bans to run from the time of the provisional suspension in late July 2008 to 2010.
"There is no way that we would accept any decision of the Russian federation to have two-year bans starting from the time of the tests," an IAAF official told the Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the federation has not yet received the official documents from the Russians.
Suspicions about the Russians first surfaced in early 2007, when a string of exceptional results were matched by a long string of negative testing results. Experts started comparing their in-competition samples, which were clearly delivered by the athletes themselves, to those taken out of competition.

Sold out Gala Concert of Sacred Music exalts and inspires
The voices and instruments of more than 2,300 people were knit together in resounding praise to God during Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's fourth annual Gala Concert of Sacred Music, March 9. In an event that was sold out two weeks in advance, audience members stood and joined in singing with the Southwestern Oratorio Chorus and Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra hymns such as "When In Our Music God Is Glorified," "Come Christian Join and Sing," and "All Creatures of Our God and King."
The seminary's plans for a 3,500-seat chapel were announced in the program. Guests were greeted and hosted by members of the seminary administration and faculty. The orchestra was rousing and focused in providing a solid foundation for the entire evening. The chorus was in particularly high form. In their rendition of "Fairest Lord Jesus," their voices melted together with a sound as sweet as the toffee-colored hues inside the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall.
The noted piano duo Nielson and Young played several selections from their repertoire of hymns and concertos. With a spry and playful "CWM Rhondda," a tender, even romantic version of "New Britain," and an inspiring and patriotic "Hymns of God and Country" that brought spontaneous clapping and shouts of approval, Nielson and Young showed why they are one of the best-loved Christian piano duos in the world.
Arrangements and compositions of Southwestern Seminary professors were performed with tenderness and beauty. The gentle tones of Albert Travis' arrangement of "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" brought murmurs of satisfaction from many audience members. It was one of many numbers after which audience members were swept beyond hide-bound traditions of when to clap, and enthusiastically applauded the performance.
Soprano Anne Beloncik and Southwesterners Angela Cofer (alto), Scot Cameron (tenor) and David Robinson (bass) took the stage for Michael Cox's ever-popular composition "Deo Gratias (Thanks Be to God)." In the section titled "Hast Thou Not Known," the quartet's voices were creatively combined: soprano with alto, then tenor with bass, then soprano with tenor, then alto with bass. The chorus and orchestra came in on "Sing a Joyful Allelulia," and the audience gave ovation at the deep, mighty declaration of "Sing, Deo gratias! Amen."
"We were pleased with all the performances," said Stephen Johnson, dean of the seminary's School of Church Music, the event's sponsor. "The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra is always a success, they are always so good. We are grateful for their continuing excellence. It was an emotional night for the chorus because this year's gala was Dr. Keith's final one to direct. He has been directing them for many years, and the members put out an extra effort. They gave it their all, and so did Dr. Keith. Everyone really benefited from that."
Johnson said that one of the things that pleases him the most about the annual gala is the many members of local churches who come year after year. Albert and Barbara Linehan have been coming to the gala all four years. This year they came with a group of 20 people from Friendship Baptist Church near Weatherford, Texas.
"We just love this gala," Albert said. "We are in our church choir, and so we appreciate all the hard work it takes for the chorus to sound so good."
Plans are underway for next year's event. With 2008 marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of Southwestern Seminary, Johnson said the fifth gala will be a must-see, must-attend celebration.
"We are planning to pull out all the stops," Johnson said. "We have already booked Bass Hall for April 3, 2008, and we are very close to securing a very prominent musical ensemble as our special guest artists next year. Once plans are in place, we will announce them. Suffice to say I am very excited about this ensemble and next year."

Help getting started
I have never reloaded before and would like to get started. I don't know anyone personally that could mentor me so I am starting from scratch. My main objective in reloading is first to save money and second to develop loads for my specific needs. I am interested in reloading .223rem, .243 win, 300 win mag, 308 win, and maybe 45acp. I have several hundred once fired brass for each caliber but no other components or equipment other than that. I am on a limited budget so I'll start with the absolute essentials and build from there.
What prompted my enthusiasm was that I came across the RCBS rock chucker supreme kit online and it seems like a good place to start. I am looking for suggestions on good starting equipment and where to find beginner information. I know that reloading manuals have load data but where to I get info/instructions on the actual process of reloading from once fired brass to finished cartridge? Also, what are good powders to look for, IE common powders that I could use in several of the calibers I will be reloading?

Re: Help getting started
dstark, I feel your pain as far as no one to help you get started. When I decided to start handloading years ago I worked with a guy that loaded his own and asked him if he would show me the ropes but my pleas fell on deaf ears. I just decided that if other guys did it that I should be able to do it, so I ordered the RCBS reloading kit and when it came I started reading the Speer manual. I read all the information and advise in there and searched out information from other sources until it made sense to me before ever buying the dies and building the my first loads. I started with the 30/06 and when my load was very successful other dies I startedloading for those calibers. Like you, I had it in my mind that I could save money on ammo by rolling my own, but now get a good laugh when I think about all the money I spent on loading equipment and guns plus components but I don't have one shred of regret. I am getting older and don't seem to have the need to play with every cartridge in the way they used to peak my interest, and with my meager retirement income that is a good thing. I wish we lived closer because I just love teaching the younger guys the art of hand loading. I taught my S-I-L to reload some years back and have turned him into an addict like myself. He used to think a factory rifle that could shoot under 1.5 MOA was good and now if his rifles don't get under .5 MOA he moans and groans.LOL
Going back to reloading equipment, my RCBS Master kit didn't include a case tumbler, dial caliper or a powder trickler, and you ought to get a hand held primer tool as they are a lot better than priming on your press. I would recommend the RCBS one with the square primer tray, although the actual name of it escapes me. As far as picking components I don't need the expensive bullets to make loads that will shoot bug holes, although some rifle just aren't that accurate but some are. Stay away from Winchester Power point bullets as they seem to be junk as far as accuracy is concerned. I look for a powder that gives about 88 to 90% density at max charge and for the medium to large cases I like to stay with single base propellants (nitro cellulose only) but with the smaller ones like the 223Rem the double base stuff seems to give the best performance. While on that cartridge (223) you could do a lot worse than Hodgdon's Benchmark.
I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge and I am sure others will also but be careful who you pay heed to, as there are some who don't know their jam from their biscuits and others who make reloading accurate ammunition as technical and complex as a space launch. I don't argue with these people but do give a little private chuckle as long as their advise is not dangerous. Good luck to you if you proceed with this endeavor.

Re: Help getting started
I would get a manual or 2 & start reading, they all go over the common reloading steps. Most all the big name manuals are fine, Speer, Hornady, Sierra & the others.
Two common powders that would cover the rifles you mentioned are H-4895 & H-4350. For 45 acp Win-231 & others in that range work fine.
Keep saving your brass. Using new brass for rifle eliminates several potential mis-steps starting out, though it's not essential.
Aim for quality & safety over quantity, all the more so just starting out. Measure & check several times all through the process. Don't get hung up on getting to a 'max load'. Modest loads are easier on the brass, gun & the shooter. Stick with reputable data.

Re: Help getting started
Gunpoor gave some good advice.
I especially like the part about some making it as difficult as a shuttle launch. I hate to admit it, but I'm slowly approaching that group myself. Not because it has to be, but because of curiosity.
You will potentially see savings, but it will take time and lots of shooting before you see them (caliber dependent). I've got one rifle that for a box of factory ammo (20 rds) it costs around $125 dollars. I can load the same box myself for I'm guessing $15. Savings come fast for that rifle. If all you do is shoot a couple of shots before hunting season you won't see the savings.
You'll definitely need to purchase some dial calipers and a powder trickler. Case tumblers aren't a requirement. They make your brass a little prettier, but not much else.
Purchase the manual for the brand of bullets you plan to reload, and research which powders are recommended. Check the other calibers and see if the same powders can be used for them. The manuals I own even go as far as to tell you which load recipe proved to be the most accurate in their tests. It doesn't mean it will be in yours because every gun is different, but they are great place to get started.
Start with a kit and follow the basic steps. You'll see improvements in accuracy with your hand loads. Once you are comfortable with the process, then start looking at expanding into all the fancy tools if you want.
Like Gunpoor offered, if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them.

The Ghatkopar police arrested a 34-year-old shopkeeper from his Ghatkopar (West) residence and seized gutkha sachets worth Rs 4.3 lakh after raiding his residence on Friday evening. Police said Arvind Chaurasiya had stored the gutkha at his residence in order to sell it in retail at his general store.
The police officers received a tip-off about the location of the gutkha after which a team from the Ghatkopar police raided his house at around 7.15pm.
"After searching his house, the police found the gutkha sachets. The police seized the packets and arrested Chaurasiya for selling noxious food items," said Prakash Sutar, sub-inspector at Ghatkopar police station.
The police are interrogating Chaurasiya to find out about the distributor from whom he got the products. Further investigations are underway.

A group of students from Ray-Pec High School had a different type of history lesson May 20 when they visited the Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph. The 30 juniors are in the Psychology classes taught by Derek Howard and Doug Brown.
Students learned about the history of mental health treatment and the history of the facility that opened in 1874 as "State Lunatic Asylum No. 2." The museum is located on the grounds of the original hospital.
One student was restrained in a straitjacket—for demonstration purposes only, he was not a threat to himself or others.
The exhibits show past mental health treatment, including various methods of isolation and restraint. The museum also shows surgical tools, treatment equipment, furnishings, nurse uniforms, personal notes and other items from the hospital.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
When we went to buy a vehicle from Automar, the vehicles there were sketchy at best. The salesman (Chris) went through all the paperwork and told us what we were looking at how much and everything. All seemed well and good. There were a few things wrong with the vehicle like missing lug studs, tires were worn, and the locks didn't work right.
They gave me a bogus 30-day warranty that covered things should they go wrong. I had asked them for tires for the van, but the "owner" said no. I advised them that the tires should be covered under warranty. During the time that I was signing paperwork, the salesman (Chris) said that we had a 30 day grace period. Several months down the line I was in a situation that I was behind in payments but always kept the vehicle within 30 days to avoid collections. I kept regular communication with them and all seemed well.
The day I spoke to them about refinancing the vehicle to get smaller payments I was still in good graces with them, all of a sudden they come and take the vehicle. Apparently (Chris) no longer works there aftr lying to people. They still have no idea who took my van. After asking to speak to a manager, or the owner they always say "the manager stepped out" or the "manager isn't working today". Pretty convenient I think. Save your money and go to a better place. if you go there and speak to a Chuck Finley RUN! Chuck Finley is a character off of Burn Notice on USA. He uses an alias to avoid fall out.

If the tires were bad as well as other things, WHY did you buy the car??? When a car payment is due on a certain date and its not paid by then, then that payment is LATE. Anytime a payment is LATE that turns on the collections efforts, up to and including a repo. If you agreed to their price and payment terms, why would you even think they would be willing to now accept less? What you should have done is go to another source to refi like a bank or loan company. Somehow, I suspect your credit is garbage anyway and nobody else would finance you. No, I don't work for them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

text: Not sure if this is in the right forum. Mods, please move as necessary. I'm looking into upgrading my home workshop. As I wonder about which sander to get, I'm at a loss. I love making knives and knife handles (need to learn how to heat treat), but also lots of other woodworking projects that are not necessarily bushcrafty. If ya'll were to buy a new belt sander/buffer for knife making and other projects, which would you get? I'm thinking a 1x42 or 1 or 2x72. What do you suggest? brands, models, links, reviews are appreciated. There are a lot of guys here with a lot more talent than I have, but I'd like to see what my potential is given the proper tools. Currently, my tool selection sucks. I want to buy quality the first time, but preferably not break the bank too much. I'm thinking sub-$750 (preferably closer to $500). I'm not looking to get into this as a job or anything. I just love making things and enjoy the process as much as the product. Thanks guys!

Lionel Messi is set to headline a Sports Museum in his hometown of Rosario dedicated ot the cities' most famous athletes, with the Barcelona striker as the highest profile example.
With the help of private investors, the government of Santa Fe province (where Rosario is located) believes the museum could be finished by 2015.
"We have a lot of faith," that it will be done said former Governor Hernes Binner, who explained that a large area would be reserved for awards, images and objects donated by the Messi family.
The Sports Museum will be located in a 32 acre area that had previously been used by the military. There is no word on whether Lionel Messi will be involved in the organization of his section. Perhaps his wax statue will be donated to the plot.

They could. There are 2 recent threads in the Service and Therapy dog forum affirming the use of many breeds, www.dogster.com www.dogster.com
There is also some valuable discussions on the qualifications and training a dog needs as well as the partner's rights.

Where I stayed
Refuge les Clarans
At the top, we walked along grassy ridges in the sunshine and had it all to ourselves (apart from the flying ants). I'm unsure why there was nobody else doing the same walk as us on this fine day. As usual the final descent, through a beech wood (some of the most extensive Beech woods in Europe are in the Pyr�n�es) was long and steep. I took it slow and my left foot was largely fine, though the right one wasn't. Tomorrow, there is no descent, when my feet really hurt.
The Refuge les Clarans is actually a cabane for three desperate people. In fact, the man we met yesterday at Siguer slept there but was kept awake by mice. That made me feel better after his smug smile when he heard I wasn't keen on heights. Mice didn't matter to us as we were camping next to the refuge. It was situated in a beautiful meadow with steep forested hills all around. After washing in the river "au naturel" in full view of the path, we made a big fire and listened to Queen. It meant that Felix could finally use the saw tool on our penknife: we've got the one that they actually issue to the Swiss Army (or do they say that about all the models?).

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

I cannot believe somebody is actually serious about wanting Tebow.
With that being said, the only place I could see him fitting in would be to a team like us, Green Bay, New England, Pittsburgh, etc. that has an established QB that has absolutely zero chance of not being the starting QB other then major injury requiring the back up to fill in.
Any team that has QB issues still trying to find "The Guy" would be out of their minds bringing in Tebow to compete for the starting job as the distraction that comes along with him is just not worth it.

|1,076 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Large, air-conditioned 2 bedroom villa situated in Kato Paphos on the edge of the tourist area, giving peace & quiet & yet still within an easy 10 minute walk to the many bars and restaurants or a 15 minute stroll from the municipal beach, the harbour, Tombs of the Kings etc (or a 2 minute car drive).
2 story living accommodation consists of master bedroom with en-suite bathroom & balcony, LCD TV & DVD; 2nd twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom & balcony. Living room with leather corner suite & a sofa bed, Plasma TV, local satellite & Blu Ray. Fully fitted kitchen / dining area with modern oven and hob, microwave, fridge freezer and washing machine. Outside areas include south facing rear patio & pool area (shared with one other villa) with 6 sun beds & large parasol; covered outside dining area, brick BBQ & outside shower. Also front garden with private parking as well as large roof terrace for panoramic sunset viewing!
The Villa is a semi detached property. The pool is private and is just shared with next door who are permanent residents. Our neighbours are very quiet and are rarely at home during the day.
4WD pictured is also available if required: 5 seats. £120 per week including Fully comp Insurance and Breakdown cover (250 euro excess applies). Over 25's only able to drive.
Here to help: We can also help with airport pick up, reliable baby sitting, scuba diving deals, holiday home purchase, places of interest to visit, etc., just ask.
Wireless Internet: Wireless internet is now available for a small cost. Just email if you require this service.
I, my partner and our two sons aged 13 and 11 years, had a great stay at the villa.
On arrival we found the villa to be spacious,tidy and clean, with all amenities you would require.
Taxi transfers were organised for us, and all went without a hitch.
The boys and I made ample use of the pool, which was well maintained by a gentleman who introduced himself to us. Carol, the housekeeper , also popped in to introduce herself and check everything was going ok.
We hired the pick-up, and I'm so glad we did. We explored Paphos and the surrounding areas making use of it everyday.
We visited Coral Bay beach, Paphos Zoo, Tombs of the Kings, Aphrodite Waterpark, Paphos Castle and harbour. We took a trip on the Wavedancer, which I'd recommend.
The evenings we didnt feel like cooking, we ordered in Dominos or Chinese takeaway to the villa, which was easy enough to do and get delivered.
From initial enquiry, Maria has been pleasant to communicate with and prompt with replies.
I would certainly be happy to return to this villa, which is centrally located and has 2 handy kiosks just around the corner.
we spent 10 nights in maria and andy's gorgeous villa, it was amazing . Everything we expected and more . It was huge , only as there was 2 of us . Never seen anything like it but this is the first time we have rented a villa. the pool was just outside the kitchen door which was perfect size . Around the pool area was very clean plenty of areas to sunbathe and plenty of shade as well.
The villa inside was immaculate , great air conditioning for those hot days , spacious bedrooms and lovely walk in showers in the en suite bathrooms.
There was also internet available in the apartment , books to read and dvds if you wanted a break from the sunshine .
The location of the villa was in a quiet area but only 10 mins steady walk to the bars and restaurants , the harbour was an extra 5 mins walk .
Carole next door was lovely , she was helpful , friendly and kind.
there was even an ice cream van came around in the afternoon with mr whippy type ice cream which we tried on a couple of occasions - yum !
anyone who is thinking about booking the villa , dont hesitate , book it ! you wont be disapointed. we would recommend this villa to our friends and family it was so brilliant.
we will definately be coming back to this villa at some point.
Debbie and David Hibberd
We spent a wonderful 2 weeks in this lovely villa; myself, my husband and my two grown up sons.
This was our 4th visit to Cyprus and our 2nd vist to Paphos. This accommodation was by far the best. The villa was clean, very spacious, light and airy and with everything we needed. The outside area and pool was perfect. We ate on the roof terrace a few times in the evening and the atmosphere was magical.
We hired the 4X4 which although it isn't new was reliable and comfortable which was all that was needed. Great value too. Couldn't beat the price anywhere. We visited the Akamas peninsula, Lara bay and various other interesting areas.
The location is perfect. Nice and quiet, but only a 15 minute walk away from all the attractions of the local bars, restaurants, shops, harbour and activities.
Carol, the housekeeper is a lovely person and was so helpful and friendly. She gave us great advice - places of interest, eating places and general advice on the facilities in the local area.
We would certainly recommend it to our family and friends. We have spoken about it so much since we have come back that our daughter, who was unable to come with us this year, wants to come next year.
Thank you very much once again Maria and Andy for allowing us to rent your beautiful house.
The Gibson family
The Villas was superb, very surprised at just how spacious it was. Although only two of us plenty of room for our own space.
Pool and pool area was wonderful, just a step outside the kitchen door. Great for popping in to make a drink (it was about 34 degrees average most days), and the coolness inside the villa was very welcome.
Great location for restaurants, supermarkets, etc. 15 min easy stroll to harbour.
Even Mr Whippy came around each afternoon.
Would recommend to couples, families alike.
Hope to be back next year.
Thanks Maria and Andy.
We were a little worried having read a previous review stating that the car was poor and nothing in Paphos was open. That couldn't be further from the truth.
The owner has had the car serviced recently and it ran like a dream! Reliable and economical. Granted it's an old-ish car, but for the money you can't go wrong - it would have cost us around 2.5 x the amount for a similar car. For info, the owners insure it Fully Comprehensive and Breakdown cover is included for peace of mind.
There was no noise at all from the new buildings over the road. In fact they look finished! They are around 100 meters away anyway.
The house was lovely. Very clean, tidy and comfortable. The guys that look after it (Gerry and Margaret) were very friendly and helpful. They arranged our airport transfers and even sorted out a 'welcome pack' so when we arrived, we didn't need to shop - brilliant. 5 Star accommodation, better than any hotel!
We had an amazing time. Given that it was New Year, we were really surprised at the number of bars and restaurants that were open and busy. Paphos is a superb resort with lots to do. The kids had a brilliant time as well. The owners recommended a small Taverna in Mesogi - The Mesogi Arms. The guys that run it (Darren and Shelly) are friends of the owner. We mentioned Andy and Maria and we were really well looked after. Cheap food and booze and a great, friendly atmosphere. Well worth the 10 minute drive (towards Polis).
Overall we couldn't have enjoyed our break more. We will definitely return.
Holiday was delayed by 5hrs due to a flight problem, but finally arrived Cyprus 03.00hrs and were met by Andreaous the taxi driver who safely delivered us to the Villa. Woke up next morning and found everything as described in the advert. Villa and pool area were nice and clean with tables and chairs outside for lunches.Could do with some more sun loungers as there was only 2 for 4 adults.Villa is in a residential area and is a 20 minute walk to the resort area, we hired the owners jeep and toured around the local tourist areas, and used it to go shopping, but the jeep being fairly old, with a dodgy fuel gauge and no aircon or radio and because you have to have the soft top rolled up, the roads are dusty, unless you like this style of driving I woud hire a car from a local company, as Paphos is fairly large.
Because of the recession a fair amount of shops and restaurants had closed down and the surrounding areas looked run down, but this is not the villa owners fault. There is still lots of places to eat and drink and the harbour area is nice for a stroll in the evening after your dinner.
We enjoyed the holiday, and a big thankyou to the Owners, and also Gerry & Margaret the housekeepers/maintenance for all there help.
The C & G family
Situated in a peaceful residential area of Kato Paphos within easy walking distance of the municipal beach, the harbour, bars, cafes and night life.
15 minutes drive from the famous Coral bay beach, 5 minutes from town and shopping, or alternatively, an hours drive from the beautiful Troodos mountains and great winter skiing!. Other places of interest include world heritage archaeological sites such as the mosaics and the Tombs of the Kings.

If I'm right then we might have to rework that theory. Even Kashmiri, some speak dialects which are more similar to Persian. Like Burushaski.
It is well established that Odḍḍiyāna was well within the Indo-cultural sphere. We have many reports of Chinese pilgrims going through it and so on.
As far as Burushaki goes:
Although Burushaski has been compared to almost any language on earth, no fully convincing relationships have yet been established.
While this document claims that no written Burushaki language exists, it is claimed that Nubchen translated the Anuyoga tantras from this language, and in fact Burushaki words do exist in the Anuyoga tantras.
But there is no relationship here with Persian.
I just watched this doc about this old tribe in Pakistan, near the Swat, the Kalash tribe (among others). These Aryan tribals were more numerous back then. I would argue, the Chinese accounts of Oddiyana, i.e., their infatuation with mantric formula, is decidedly Zoro... in influence. I see culture as spectral. In this area you have a blend of both the Proto-Aryan, Persian and Indian in the Swat and around Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgistan, etc... This whole area was under heavy historical influence by Persia, India and China... It would be difficult to pigeon-hole Swat as "culturally Indian." Then, as now, it had its distinct idiosyncrasies that made it seem a little far North of Indian.
You forgot Hellenic influences.

So two days ago I accidentally bid on a gun on gunbroker... and won. I had a bunch of similar tabs open in IE from doing a search on gunbroker. Apparently I was spaced out, as I really shouldn't have bid on anything (couldn't really afford it), but I meant to bid on what looked like a 3" Ruger Speed Six with Pachmayr Compac grips that had no bids, no reserve, and a really low price (presumably because the listing had few details, and the one picture was blurry... it might also have been a 2.75" one, but it would have been a good price for one of those, too... I was willing to bid on it because it would have been a STEAL for a 3" one).
So I said to myself... if I took my M&P9c into the gun store and added that to all the cash on hand, I'd have enough to bid.
So I made exactly one bid.
ON THE WRONG FREAKIN GUN. Don't ask me how I missed the fact that the pictures were different (the bid price on each was the same) or how I skimmed past the "Your bid is a legal contract" popup without thinking.
And then... I won. None of the other bidders would snipe me.
So now I am the (not quite proud) owner of a 4" blued, post-151 series, .38 Special Ruger Service Six, which is a nice gun at a good price... that is, it would be a good price if I had any desire for this specific gun. Instead it's like buying a $350 spare TV because it was on sale from $400.
And because I only had that much money, I now can't buy the gun that I was actually looking to bid on.

I've done that on minor items on Ebay before but not on a firearm...yet.
I've popped off and accidentally ended up with a gun I hadn't really intended to purchase at gun shows before. Have had a Winchester Model 70 .375 H&H Magnum for over 20 years now because of that. I once ended up with a rare, collectible Colt revolver (though in poor condition) because it was badly mislabeled by GunBroker seller who incorrectly described it as a completely different and very common Colt model. I figured that one couldn't go wrong with the $50 opening bid. The seller and I both may have been had on that auction.

And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,

And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
I have done that on ebay, but not with guns. The conversation with my self goes something like this:
"Oh man...that is the best price I have seen on that yet."
"Hubby said to slow it down on ebay."
"Yeah.....but look at that price."
"You know he will gritch."
"I won't be able to live with myself if I don't. I have to at least make the minimum bid on it. Some one will out bid me."
"Are you sure?
"Pretty sure."
Bid put in and 5 seconds to go.
"Come on! That is a great price. Someone out bid me.....PLEASE."
Congrats you win.
"Told you so."

Did it last month on a local auction. Bid low on several guns I wanted but couldn't really afford. Bid on a .25 Barretta and won it. Only have 130.00 in a gun taking up space in the safe. very little space. Guess it better than winning a HiPoint.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
With the added twist of me then proceeding to bid on the wrong gun.
It's a nice-looking gun... if it were a .357 I would strongly consider keeping it just to have something in wood and blued steel back in my collection.
My wife was actually really good about it. I'm sure I lost good husband points, but fewer than I thought I would, and she said if someone was willing to take it off my hands for the same price (a friend of a friend on facebook is interested), she'd let me take it out as a 'loan' from our checking account instead of selling my M&P for the cash.
Now, I might sell the M&P anyway, since I bought a Shield that has since completely replaced the M&P9c as a carry gun.
Rowe/Higgins 2016!
Nope, never made that mistake. I have bid more than I probably should have but luckily I have been outbid each time.
I've claimed to have accidentally bought a gun before...
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
not quite like that but......
at the store---me--"that looks interesting"
salesman hands it to me--my 1st mistake is acepting it
now, i've been investigating and looking at guns from that time period so we discuss it....
we discuss it till money changes hands. hmmmm...

The SSA has released the list of the most popular baby names for last year, and it appears reality television, movies, and religion influence the monikers we bestow upon our offspring.
Jacob topped the list for boys for the 13th year in a row. With its ties to religion, and with the 4th and final movie of the Twilight series set to be released later this year, my bet is that this name still has a few more years as number one before it's toppled by another movie-influenced name. (Peeta or Gale, maybe?)
While "Snooki" hasn't cracked the top 1,000 (yet), another familiar reality TV name came in second place for the first time-- Mason.
If you are a fan of the Kardashians (which, I admit-- I find them oddly fascinating), you'll know that is oldest sister Kourtney's son's name.
She's currently pregnant with her second child (a girl!), so time will only tell if this Kardashian-themed trend continues.
For now, Sophia reigns supreme as the top girl's name for the first time, beating out Isabella, which dropped to second.
The fastest rising girl's name, Briella, is the name of another reality-TV star from New Jersey. Although I'm not as familiar with that show (it's about hairdressers?!), it must be somewhat popular in order to explain the 394 spot jump that name made.
In addition to reality TV and movies, religion, specifically the Old Testament, holds its own on the baby-naming list, with names like Noah, Elijah, and Joshua all cracking the top 20.
Curious to know what other names made the list? Find the SSA's top 10 list here.

On digital experiences, Open Source, startups & the future
Open source is the best way to build and distribute software. There are few things about which I'm more convinced. In some, but not all cases, Open Source also offers a viable business model. When it does, it's great because it allows you to do well and do good at the same time. I'm convinced that Open Source is the future for all software needs, but niche applications. I believe in this so sincerely that I've spent over ten years of my life building Open Source software, and I haven't once faltered on my resolve. In fact, I've become more convinced over the years.
The second factor about which I'm convinced is that traditional hosting as we know it today will be for bespoke applications. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) will become the de-facto standard for building and hosting web applications, especially in combination with Open Source web applications. I believe in this so much that I've been betting Acquia on it since its inception three and a half years ago. Now it seems the markets are aligning with that vision: the hosting industry, after years of being dormant, is going through a new innovation cycle driven by "cloud computing".
With both Open Source, PaaS and SaaS, the question is not if it will happen, but when. The transition is inevitable; it might take ten, twenty or thirty years, but it's just a matter of time. The terms PaaS and SaaS might die along the way, but their concepts will certainly remain and change the hosting industry.
I'm willing to bet that in the future, every Open Source web project that wants to reach a certain level of adoption, will have to provide a PaaS and SaaS offering in order to be truly relevant. I think that's exciting because it creates new business models for Open Source projects which will help fuel the Open Source movement. In fact, I hope that Acquia can become a role model for other Open Source projects and Open Source companies. It's going the take plenty of hard work, but the passion and the conviction is certainly there.
I completely agree Dries, and we're headed in that direction too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
As long as it can compete with my Dreamhost account for $9 a month I don't care how my Drupal site is hosted.
I also agree. One of our major customers is using iText in a Cloud Computing project that goes beyond what we ever could imagine when we wrote the first lines of iText code back in 2000.
Thanks to paying customers like that, we now succeed in doing well and good at the same time. We have some huge projects coming up (some of which can be interesting for Drupal too). We're working on a demo; watch my Twitter account (@bruno1970) if you want to be informed when the demo goes online.
Our company has been following the PaaS movement in Drupal closely. We've got sites running on both Pantheon and Acquia's Dev Cloud. The Dev Cloud site actually serves the production site of one of our clients. And while I can't say that getting the site up and running was 100% painless, we've learned a ton already partnering closely with Acquia as a PaaS provider and we're excited about the efficiencies this model opens to us as a dev shop that would not be anywhere close to the hosting game ourselves.
So, on one hand, I agree with everything that you've said, Dries.
On the other hand, I do wonder how open source innovations in hosting infrastructure will be affected by the rise of PaaS. You could argue the point either way. Pantheon, in particular, seems to be striking a great balance by keeping Mercury and most of their tools open source. I haven't heard of Acquia open sourcing any of its stack (you'd be the one to ask, Dries). I would imaging that open sourcing elements of Dev/Managed Cloud is either happening or will, and I'm just not aware of it.
What are you thoughts on this balance, Dries? (Or others on this comment thread.)
I would suggest that the commercial aspects of setting up a sustainble business model around OSS and SaaS is as much a challenge as all of the technical aspects. Any recommended case studies on how Acquia pulled that off?
P.s. Goede 'Paas' dagen ;-)

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Intergraph® announces the release of ERDAS APOLLO 2013 as part of Intergraph Geospatial Portfolio 2013. ERDAS APOLLO 2013 is a comprehensive data management, analysis and delivery system allowing organizations to easily catalog, search, discover, process, and securely disseminate massive volumes of both file-based and web-enabled data.
ERDAS APOLLO 2013 provides powerful new efficiencies in robust data management and broad data dissemination capabilities. For customers with constantly updating data stores, ERDAS APOLLO now provides the ability to set up a drop box, enabling an organization to immediately catalog and publish incoming data. With virtual mosaicking, an organization can group datasets together, limit by scale, and portray potentially thousands of datasets as a single virtual mosaic layer. In addition, ERDAS APOLLO 2013 debuts a ready-to-run, integrated web client. The Geospatial Portal provides customers with the same powerful functionality and connectivity to the server that they had before, plus many more useful and standards-compliant features.
"With all of the challenges organizations face with 'Big Data,' enhanced geospatial data management solutions are required to find, describe, manage and deliver geospatial data to power smarter decisions" said Mladen Stojic, Vice President – Geospatial, Intergraph. "ERDAS APOLLO 2013 offers new and dynamic ways for managing large volumes of data in ways that make it truly timely, relevant and actionable."
ERDAS APOLLO 2013 is available in three product tiers:
- ERDAS APOLLO Essentials: This image delivery system provides the fastest image delivery possible over the web. It uses a variety of protocols, including the ultra-high-performance ECWP, and is delivered with a preconfigured thin client.
- ERDAS APOLLO Advantage: Including all the functionality of ERDAS APOLLO Essentials, this version enables users to catalog and share massive amounts of geospatial and non-spatial data located throughout their enterprise.
- ERDAS APOLLO Professional: Offering all the functionality of ERDAS APOLLO Advantage, this version also provides server-side geoprocessing of data from thin clients.
ERDAS APOLLO Essentials can now run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v5.8 and v6.2+ as well as Windows, and enables watermarking of imagery so that data providers can protect their intellectual property rights for the data. ERDAS APOLLO Advantage now offers OpenStreetMap in the Data Manager, making it easier to see the global context of data and its location. This release also provides the ability to monitor incoming data via GeoRSS, so that data analysts can use GeoRSS links to monitor the incoming data for specific points or areas of interest, using the out-of-the-box web client.
In ERDAS APOLLO Professional, the server-side geoprocessing (WPS) feature has integrated the new and improved ERDAS IMAGINE Spatial Modeler, providing as many of the basic building blocks a user might require for finding solutions to their own problems. Also, the growing number of geospatial organizations who are collecting LIDAR data can now enable Clip, Zip and Ship for LAS-formatted point cloud data (in whole or just a subset), enabled through the integrated web client.

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley has expressed his disappointment after yet again missing out on an England debut.
Cleverley would almost certainly have made his senior bow against Holland in August, but the match was called off due to the London riots.
Fabio Capello deemed the September Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales too important to let the 23-year-old loose, since when he has been struck down by injury.
Stuart Pearce picked him in his 25-man squad for Wednesday's rearranged encounter with the Dutch after only one game back in the United side.
But Cleverley is sidelined once more, this time by another ankle injury.
"Very disappointed not to be joining up with the England squad tonight," Cleverley wrote on Twitter.
"And again, it isn't a recurrence of the injury, it's the other leg."
It means Cleverley only has the pre-tournament friendlies against Norway and Belgium in which to stake a claim for a European Championship berth.
That is not Pearce's major problem though because, with Cleverley's United team-mate Wayne Rooney and Aston Villa's Darren Bent both ruled out, England are suffering from a major lack of firepower.
Just Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge and Frazier Campbell, who have only four caps between them, remain from the strikers Pearce originally selected.
The interim coach does have the option of selecting Steven Gerrard or Ashley Young in advanced attacking roles.
An alternative would be to draft in additional bodies, with Liverpool's Andy Carroll a more likely alternative than Peter Crouch, who scored for Stoke in their win over Swansea yesterday, and Jermain Defoe given the relatively youthful nature of Pearce's squad overall.

" Brand: Tesco / Nursing Aid: Sterilisers "
It's not very often that I needed to use sterilising tablets as I had a microwave steam steriliser for every day use. But when it came to travelling, I couldn't take it with me, so I bought a box of Tesco My Baby Sterilising Tablets.
The box is easy to find on the baby care aisle of your Tesco (or online at Tesco.com), it's in a pale yellow and white. The box of 56 tablets cost a very reasonable 74p, though this may have changed since as this was six months ago - but it was cheaper than the brand leaders Milton and Tommee Tippee.
Using the tablets is easy, you use cold water, drop one tablet in and let it dissolve (it fizzes, but the water remains clear) then leave your washed bottles / dummies / breast pump pieces / teats and so on in the solution fully immersed for 15 minutes. Then you can take them out with disinfected hands and set them to dry and they're ready for use.
There is a bit of a chemical smell which concerned me at first because I was scared that the solution was too strong but it does go after a whil and as long as you use the right amout of water and leave the items to dry then you are perfectly safe. After 15 minutes cold water sterilisation they are germ free and good to go, you can pre sterilise a few bottles as long as you then assemble them and put the lid on, for future use.
So, I only used them two or three times when I was on holiday or visiting family as it was so much more convenient than carting the cumbersome microwave steam steriliser and finding a microwave on holiday. I found them very easy to use, the instructions are easy to follow, and each tablet is in it's own package (like a steradent!) ready to use.
I didn't and don't use them often but they are a worthwhile thing to have for travelling or if you don't have or don't want a steam steriliser, for the money they certainly won't break the bank and are very convenient.
Based on my experience of using them I highly recommend the Tesco My Baby sterilising tablets, there is no need to pay out for the brand names when these work just as well.
Four out of five stars for me - they won't replace steam sterilising but they're the best chemical sterilising method I've used.
I make sure that I always have sterilising tablets in the house and I have found these tesco tablets to work just as well as other named brands.
They cost 73p and there are 56 tablets in each box.
The tablets are to be dissolved in cold water and they take roughly 3-4 minutes for it to be fully dissolved. The same solution can be used for upto 24 hours without the need for it to be changed and each item only needs to be left in the solution for 15 minutes until it is germ free.
You need to make sure that the bottles and such have been washed before going in the steriliser as they need to be clean. The solution then
gets rid of any bacteria that hasn't been washed off.
I use these tablets for everything. I put in babies bottles, weaning spoons, teethers and dummies. I use it for medicine spoons and my daughters earrings. I also use it to clean off the high chair and do this by putting a cloth in the solution and then wiping it over the high chair. I would much rather use steralising tablets for baby products than any other disinfectant.
The tablets work by completely killing off all traces of bacteria and leaving it completely fresh and clean. They leave the item bacteria free for up to 24 hours.
They don't leave any residue and they no taste so don't leave any strange flavours on the items. They have no smell either. You don't need to rinse off the item after it has been in the water, simply leave it to dry and then it is ready to use again.
I would definately recommend these tablets, they work very well and are a great price.
As new parents, we decided to stock up on anything we thought may be necessary which included sterilising tablets. A friend had mentioned to me that she needed to get some for her steriliser and being consumed with the endless list of things we needed to buy for our daughter, I picked up a pack and thought nothing more of it.
As it turns out, our steriliser is an electric one and wouldn't need to use them for this, which was a shame. However we found that these tablets can be used for cold water sterilising. This being rather handy because when we go up to see my mum they don't have a steriliser, in fact neither sets of parents do. When we go up if we need to make up an extra feed we can wash up the bottles and plonk them straight in to sterilise for 30 minutes as recommended.
We have found it handy when we have had to leave our daughter with one set of parents in an emergency and then they have the tablets in case they need them, without having to mess around unplugging sterilising units and dragging them with us.
We have found that other items which are awkward to fit in the steriliser can be done with these, and also very useful for teething rings and dummies when away from home.
It would be handy for anyone who goes on holiday too, sometimes taking a steriliser is inconvenient or not plausible if say, you went camping. This would be the perfect solution.
We paid 69p for one box which contains 56 tablets, individually sealed to keep them fresh which is widely available from most larger Tesco stores and can be found in the section where the baby bottles and medicines are normally kept.
Overall I would highly recommend having these in your changing bag, they are just so handy.
I bought a box of Tesco My Baby's Sterilising Tablets just before we went away on holiday in April. At home I had been using a microwave steam steriliser and normally on the go had used a handy reusable bag that pops in the microwave. They can be quite expesive to replace once they have been used 20 times so I opted for the sterilising tablets on holiday.
Each box contains 56 tablets and I paid 71p for the box. I believe the price remains the same. The pack suggests to use one tablet for each 4 pints of water. I tended to use 2 tablets for each 'wash'. The solution is useful for 24 hours but then must be disposed of and a fresh solution making. So effectively if you were we use two tablets per day this box would last for 4 weeks. I am about to take my 3rd holiday this year and have enough tablets for that trip.
I would definitely recommend using these while you are travelling on holiday. Firstly, because you may not know if your accomodation has a microwave for you to use the reuseable bags. Secondly, because sterilising fluid is more expensive. Thirdly because they take up very little room in your luggage. Fourthly, they are very cheap. And, fifth .... they can be used for washing down worktops and tiles etc so make a great cleaning agent. We actually used the 'left over' solution to wipe over the kitchen work tops and chopping boards while we were in our apartment in Spain.
These were a great but for me and I would definitely use again. I believe that Milton, a branded alternative are aroung £1.24 for a lot less tablets per box. Tesco wins.
For baby's bottles and everyday use.

NEW YORK » Kiss and Def Leppard are joining forces for a summer tour.
The legendary bands will embark on a U.S. tour June 23 in West Valley City, Utah. They will play more than 40 dates, including Los Angeles; Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.; Atlanta; and Tampa, Fla. The tour wraps Aug. 31 in Woodlands, Texas.
Tickets go on sale Friday.
"You have two bands who to one degree or another have stood the test of time and put them together and you'll have a great night of music," said Paul Stanley of Kiss in an interview. "We're living in a time now where everyone wants more for their money, and that's understandable. So, when you can get two bands to collaborate together, we couldn't pick a better band for this tour than Def Leppard to go out with us."
Def Leppard's Joe Elliott said it's not likely the two bands will perform together.
"We're not jam bands either of us," Elliott said in an interview from Dublin. "It's very theatrical what Kiss does to a lesser extent obviously 'cause we don't do the makeup thing, our show runs like a military operation for sure. It's not like the Grateful Dead and Phish touring or something."
Kiss and Def Leppard are partnering with various military companies for the tour to support U.S. troops, including the United Service Organizations Inc. and Hiring Our Heroes.
Kiss will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month. This year marks Kiss' 40th anniversary.
Elliott will release a new album with his band Down 'N' Outz called "The Further Adventures Of…" on April 21. He said Def Leppard recently went into the studio to write new music.

57 Hydra-matic check ball
I'm rebuilding a '57 Pontiac Hydra-matic. I'm working on the valve body and according to the book I'm using, some of the components in it seem to be from a 58. I was having issues trying to put it back together using the book until I extended my view to the '58 segments in the book. Now there still is one thing I can't figure out regardless of which year I look at, the check ball. The '57 is supposed to have one along with a spring and the 58 doesn't have one at all. My transmission has one, a very very small one, smaller than the size of a BB, but has no spring. Does any body know anything about this or where I can get help?
IF the check ball was in the valve body when you disassembled it, I would put it back in.
Or did this fall out when you disassembled the Vb and now are attempting to reassemble the parts?
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Actually I figured out where it goes by taking another close look at the book. However I also figured out that it is supposed to have another check ball, one with a spring. The second check ball with the spring was not anywhere in the plate when I pulled it apart and I didn't drop anything, I was very careful. Allot of the things in the valve body seem to be inconsistent. It has spools and springs from a '57 in some places and from a '58 in others, but the tag on the transmission clearly identifies it as a '57 and it came out of a '57. Was there some sort of hybrid
You are dealing with a 40+ year old tranny.
Vehicle manufacturers often change things as the year progresses. There may have been updates from GM or early shift mods performed by a trany guy during a rebuild for a better operating tranny.
Check balls leave witness marks where they ride/sit. Either on the steel separtor plate or the cast iron of the v-body. These marks are shiney spots or smooth cast iron which is never smooth.
A spring loaded check ball may have been a check valve for avoiding drain back in the tranny. Later it may have been found to be un-needed. GM did this in the T-400. they had several check valves in the pump for drain back form the converter. These valves were eliminated in later years.
I could also point out a similar deal in the 700/4L60 pump
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.

Additi speaks about her new character in SSBS
"On-screen characters are always different from what you are in actual life. I was never Heer before I did 'Kis Des Mein Hai Meraa Dil" and even now with 'Sangini" I am playing a totally different character. It almost took three months for me to get into the character as the role was new for me. But now after shooting for the show, I have come to know exactly what the character is", says Additi.
So in these three months what similarities and differences you have come across with your on-screen and off-screen persona? "There are many differences like she is egoistic which I feel I am not in my actual life. She is very typical kind of a girl who expects lot from her boyfriend which again I am not. And when it comes to similarity than Pihu don"t like to hurt anyone and so do I. And last but not the least, like Pihu if I get into some relationship, I won"t ditch that person. I will love him till the end of my life. I will be 100 percent involved in it. That again, in turn, means I won"t hurt him", explains Additi.

Beneath the differences of human culture and traditions, wise leaders and teachers recognize the presence of one universal love – a force that propels each of us towards what we are capable of becoming in this life.
Spiritual leader Tenzin Gyatso, better known as the 14th Dalai Lama, has promoted peace and understanding as pathways towards universal love for as long as he has been teaching in the West. Below are some of his cherished bits of advice, gleaned from his heart's wisdom and shared in hope of freedom from suffering for all living beings:
The Dalai Lama on Kindness
This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.

Create a Report Server Database (SSRS Configuration Manager)
Reporting Services Native mode uses two SQL Server relational databases to store report server metadata and objects. One database is used for primary storage, and the second one stores temporary data. The databases are created together and bound by name. With a default SQL Server instance, the databases are named
reportserver and
reportservertempdb. Collectively, the two databases are referred to as the "report server database" or "report server catalog".
Reporting Services SharePoint mode includes a third database that is used for data alerting metadata. The three databases are created for each Reporting Services service application and the database names by default include a guid that represents the service application. The following are example names of the three SharePoint mode databases:
The exception to this are the execution log views. For more information, see Report Server Execution Log and the ExecutionLog3 View
Native Mode: You can create the Native mode report server database in the following ways:
Automatically: Use SQL Server Setup Wizard, if you choose the default configuration installation option. In the SQL Server Installation Wizard, this is the Install and configure in the Report Server Installation Options page. If you chose the Install only option, you must use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to create the database.
Manually: Use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager. You must create the report server database manually if you are using a remote SQL Server Database Engine to host the database. For more information, see Create a Native Mode Report Server Database (SSRS Configuration Manager).
SharePoint Mode: The Report Server Installation Options page only has one option for SharePoint mode of Install Only. This option installs all the Reporting Services files and the Reporting Services shared service. The next step is to create at least one Reporting Services service application in one of the following ways:
Use SharePoint Central Administration to create a Reporting Services service application. For more information see the "Service Application" section of Step 3: Create a Reporting Services Service Application.
Use Reporting Services PowerShell cmdlets to create a service application and the report server databases. For more information see the sample for creating service applications in the topic PowerShell cmdlets for Reporting Services SharePoint Mode.
SQL Server is used to host the report server databases. The SQL Server Database Engine instance can be a local or remote instance. The following are the supported versions of SQL Server Database Engine that can be used to host the report server databases:
SQL Server 2012
SQL Server 2008 R2
SQL Server 2008
SQL Server 2005
Creating the report server database on a remote computer requires that you configure the connection to use a domain user account or a service account that has network access. If you decide to use a remote SQL Server instance, consider carefully which credentials the report server should use to connect to the SQL Server instance. For more information, see Configure a Report Server Database Connection (SSRS Configuration Manager).
When creating a report server database, be aware that not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. For more information, see the "Report Server Database Server Edition Requirements" section of Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2014.
