Well, I took time off my speakers and finally bought Linear Audio Vol 0 so I can read the piece on the inclusive Miller feedback. Now I know why I could not get it to work in Spice. I was guessing too much. By the simulation, it has a dramatic effect. It took me so long to get the DH-120 stable, and it sounds pretty good, I am almost scared to tear into it again. Naaa, Why not! With a new CD player and new speakers almost done, I might as well step it up another notch. The worst I could do is blow it up again. I almost bought a PA-5 really just to match the CA-5 and ST-7 preamp and tuner. It is too big for the shelf though. Empty boxes are really frustrating.
To get a new CD player, I was limited to only two. NAD and Arcam. Everything else is too deep. Can't say I am thrilled with the 565 but I have to get some new speakers in here before I condemn it. Through the Grado's, I am not sure.
As soon as the paint cures, I'll be able to see if I have whipped my wife's super hearing with the new speakers and if the Parasound beats the Rotel after all. I'm pretty happy with how this pair is coming out. Maybe by Sunday. If they work, I'll do a front port version with less BSC for my office and see how the NAD/Nak/Hafler sound.

So glad a Hafler is being used . I built the preamp from kits in the old days for my customers to save them money .
DVV , I had a wonderful time ( 39 C ) . Trapan wine is big discovery ( Bruno Trapan ) . .
You raise an interesting point . I have always thought car stereo sounds better than many home hi fi's if looking at the simple inexpensive end of the market . The package supplied with the car can be researched for a room that is always the same and repeated 1000's of times ( a VW Golf for example ) . The power source is quite good . The amplifier that results is more like a 1960's push pull with op amp bandwidth . The distortion not unlike a valve amp . I often wondered if one of those with decent speakers might make a very nice home hi fi ? Klipshe Forte 2 come to mind .
My encoded analogue compression idea was not well explained . The idea is to find a compression system with a very nice sound . My guess is a dynamic range of perhaps as low as 40 dB for standard use . It could even be transcribed to CD like that . The "encoding " ( squashing ) would be to a very accurate defined standard . Perhaps a 19 kHz - 50 dB reference tone at the start to inform a decoder and calibrate the system ? The expansion could be as said before controlled by user preference and room placed microphone . The ultimate idea is that the restored analogue is as perfect as you want it to be . If a true > 100 db dynamic range is preferred then it is available . I would also use a sound field microphone so that in classical music the microphone placement can be made to move . One day I might like to listen to a Bach concerto close up , another day in the cheap seats . Soccer matches on Sky TV use them ! I was also thinking a 32 bit 250 kHz storage memory might be an idea . This would mean loosing the purity of the concept for convenience . It would store for a second or whatever to allow level data to be recorded . Digital information would then be encoded in standard 16 bit 44.1 kHz . The CD that resulted would be perfectly compatibly with standard set ups and preferable . Although all digital , the compression would be analogue with a analogue expansion if required . The idea of 32 bit and 250 kHz is to record it also in other formats at the same time . The big deal is the expansion rates will always be identical from system to system . Only quality will differ . The system would do exactly what I did when recording . It would " gain ride " . My recordings were done with a full rehearsal . The conductor even taught me to read his intentions . The performance was always louder than rehearsal ( 20 dB often ) . I was told Herbert Von Karajan was able to control micro dynamics better than others . Thus Ravel Bolero was made more exciting his way . How a man with his past could be so good with impressionist music I will never know . Leonard Bernstein was great , however his Ravel and Debussy was no match for Karajan !! Talk about schmaltz .

I'm pleased to note you're happy with your vacation, Nige. That's as it should be.
Frankly, I don't see my car as a good audio environment. Nor do I much care, given that I am too busy considering all the options the surrounding kamikaze drivers and pedestrians have on their minds. Too little capacity left to concentrate on the music itself.
So I am not complaining about the compressions used, but I do wonder why can't it replay plain WAVE files from the USB source, I see no reason why it shouldn't, even if it is a cheap car. And frankly, this is one of my surprisingly (beacuse it's a cheap car) few quibbles with it, none of which could be classed as important. Surprisingly few trade-offs. So I'll live.

Frankly, your choice of CD players is, in my view, a poor one. I never liked NAD audio much, to me they're just another wanna-be company. While their CD players (at least, the ones I've heard) will do a decent job of it, that's all you'll get from them, just a decent job. Don't expect any revelations.
Arcam I don't really know, I heard only one of their CD players lately, I forgot the model designation, but it was supposed to be their middle of the range model. Again, nothing exciting about it, it's too polite for its own good.
But that's just me.

The car is a very bad environment . However the same prescription for each is a big factor in the success of this very humble equipment . We also have a pressure sealed cabin which helps . I would say many home hi fi's do not have the symbiosis that many humble car stereos have . I heard one recently with Martin Logan and Krell . No idea what was mismatched . It just did not work . The guy seemed oblivious and very proud . He also had more hi fi than any hi fi shop . Revox amps etc . The best example of outstanding correctness was the old B&O radio ( Beolite ? ) . Mono , expensive whilst not outrageous . 9inch x 5 inch speaker looking like TV speakers ( Dalquiste style ) . Sound better than most hi fi's . Bose seem to be recreating such ideas . I doubt if they are as good ?

On CD players if available try the Cambridge . They are cheap and have a very correct sound . My brother left me an Arcam , I find it boring .
The Rega is exceptional in my friends Naim system . He has a Naim CD player also ( CDI ) . I slightly prefer the Rega .

I had an Arcam amp and cdp once, Alpha 8 or 9.
The cdp was so so and replaced by a very secondhand and ancient Studer unit for a quarter of the price but the amp was easily the worst I've ever owned.

I know there are far better CD players. But NONE of them fit on a 12 inch shelf.

Holding off on the buffer or other DAC's, and even opening the NAD until I get my next set of speakers in here.
The digitally remastered Sgt. Pepper is a lot better than the original CD.

ANDREW STRAUSS quit as England captain yesterday — and declared he would fancy
becoming The Sun's cricket correspondent.
Strauss, 35, ended his cricket career with immediate effect after winning
three Ashes series — two as skipper — and leading England to No 1 in the
world Test rankings.
When I asked Strauss at Lord's whether he would like to stay in cricket as an
administrator, coach or commentator, he brought the house down with his
cheeky reply.
Strauss said: "Maybe becoming cricket correspondent of the Sun might be an
He insisted his decision to quit had nothing to do with the text storm
involving Kevin Pietersen.
He said: "I wasn't going to improve batting-wise. I'd run my race.
"I first spoke to Andy Flower about it before the whole Kevin Pietersen
incident reared its head and it hasn't been a consideration at all."

text: "Everyday Demons" is the second studio album by Irish rock band The Answer. Classifying "Everyday Demons" as classic rock can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how one looks at it. Is it a style of music beloved by the throngs that continue to swear by their local FM station or is it dated music played by dinosaurs? The silliness and basic irrelevance of the latter seems obvious, while the answer to the former should be universally understood. Regardless, the description is necessary to give the majority of readers a point of reference. Let's face it, it is impossible to reference bands like BAD COMPANY, LED ZEPPELIN, and even THE BLACK CROWES (all bands that share some similarities with THE ANSWER) and not think "classic rock".

This 2010 recording of Tchaikovsky's eternally popular Swan Lake ballet, with Mikhail Pletnev and the Russian National Orchestra might be ideal for dancing, but it is less ideal purely as a listening experience.
On the coast of Cork, Syracuse is a divorced fisherman who has stopped drinking. His precocious daughter Annie has failing kidneys. One day, he finds a nearly-drowned young woman in his net; she calls herself Ondine and wants no one to see her. He puts her up in an isolated cottage that was his mother's. Annie discovers Ondine's presence and believes she is a selkie, a seal that turns human while on land. Syracuse is afraid to hope again.
Miyako Yoshida dances the title role originally created for Margot Fonteyn in the hauntingly beautiful underwater world of Ondine, vividly brought to life by The Royal Ballet. Frederick Ashton's shimmering choreography, Lila de Nobili's impressionistic designs and Hans Werner Henze's specially commissioned, vibrant and inventive score, memorably combine to evoke the many moods and colours of the sea.

Well, I'm back from vacation and thanks to this morning's time change (at least in the US), very glad to be back into Eastern Standard Time! Warning: Timezone misunderstandings are a huge pet peeve of mine. Ask my friends. 🙂
This is the easy part of the year — the half of the year where no matter how little someone understands timezones, they can blithely state that the meeting is at "2pm EST" or that they work "8-5 EST" and actually be right! During Daylight Saving Time (essentially, April -> October in the US), lots of people I interact with still refer to Eastern Standard Time, totally oblivious to the fact that they are referencing a different timezone than they're currently in.
So, here's the short version — a pocket guide, if you will:
- Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/UTC) is a fixed timezone. It never changes.
- Eastern Standard Time (EST) is also a fixed timezone. It is (always) GMT-5:00.
- Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is also a fixed timezone. It is (always) GMT-4:00.
In (most of) the US, we simply jump back and forth an hour twice each year — we switch into a different timezone. EST is always 5 hours behind GMT. EDT is always 4 hours behind GMT.
And here's the important thing: If you say the meeting is at 2pm EST… during July…. in Charlotte, NC… do you mean that we should show up at 3pm EDT? Should I just assume you don't understand timezones when I put the meeting into my Outlook calendar with a 2pm EDT start time? Computers understand timezones, of course!
See these links for additional information:
(this post dedicated to Michael, Scott and Jodi – who get to listen to me rant on this topic at least twice each year). 🙂
Updated Jan 17, 2005 – I've written a utility that'll tell you how your machine's timezone settings are configured. This won't tell you which timezone you're in (that'd be a neat trick!), but it'll tell you which timezone your machine is currently configured for plus all the DST stuff. Get it here.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am a 32 year old female married to a 50 year old man. We have been married for 3 years. My husband has not worked during our marriage (he quit his job about 4 weeks before we got married). I worked the first 2.5 years and am now unemployed. If I file for a separation instead of a divorce would I be required to pay spousal support? We are in Illinois.
You might. Family law judges have lots of discretion in how they resolve maintenance and support issues. Your present unemployment is a factor that will lower maintenance.
The history of your past status as the only wage earner suggests you are likely to pay maintenance for at least a short period (that is, IF your husband requests it.) The support issues will not be significantly different whether you are separated or divorce. The main reason for doing a separation in Illinois is the 2-year waiting period for uncontested divorces and the need to cut your partner loose financially in the meantime. Hire a family lawyer so your interests can be protected. I think you are likely to want to file for dissolution of marriage rather separation if you can.
So far, this is free to you. Until you pay a fee, I am not your lawyer and you are not my client, so you take any free advice at your sole risk. I am licensed in IL, MO, TX and am a Reg. Pat. Atty. so advice in any other jurisdiction is general advice and should be confirmed with an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction.Ask a similar question
The answer to your question lies in the details of your marriage as well as the attitude of the court and attorneys. We cannot absolutely answer this question and I urge you to consult with a family law practitioner in your area. The bigger question is why yo are seeking a legal separation rather than a divorce. If you want to separate, you are free to do that without a court order. If there is a particular reason that you think a separation will be beneficial, you need to examine the legal consequences of this proceeding. Therefore, once again, I urge you to seek the services of an attorney in your area who is well versed in family law. Good luck.Ask a similar question
You should probably be thinking of divorce and not a legal separation. What are your reasons for seeking a separation and not divorce? Do you have an income? You would need income in order to be ordered to pay support. I would need more facts.

NCIS Los Angeles Season 8 Episode 11 will not be airing in the show's usual timeslot this coming Sunday. Unfortunately for fans of the series, NCIS LA will be taking a two week hiatus before finally airing the Christmas special on Dec. 18.
The upcoming episode is aptly titled "Tidings We Bring." Spoilers Guide was luckily able to obtain the official synopsis for the episode, which is not yet widely available.
According to the site, Anna Kolcheck (Bar Paly) will be back in action. In this episode, she will pair up with Special Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J), while G. Callen (Chris O'Donnell) will be partnering up with Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen).
There will be a musical chairs of partners within the agency, and the new pairings will work together for the investigation into the disappearance of a Navy Lieutenant Commander who was working on cyber threat cases.
Apart from the serious stuff, the episode will also feature the NCIS Los Angeles team celebrating the holidays together. That means there will likely be an update on Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and her recovery.
In the last two episodes, Kensi has shown major progress in her recovery from the helicopter crash early in the season. After having a baby in real life, is actress Daniela Ruah finally ready to jump back in NCIS LA action?

Meanwhile, another NCIS LA actor who may have been facing a medical situation off-camera is Miguel Ferrer. He continues to appear in the show as Assistant Director Owen Granger, but he is looking increasingly frail and is speaking with an obvious slur.
Various reports have claimed that the actor has suffered from a stroke. Health Aim also mentions the possibility of colon cancer. Nothing has so far been confirmed and Ferrer continues to appear on the show. It remains to be seen if he will be around to celebrate Christmas with the rest of the team on NCIS Los Angeles Season 8 Episode 11.
The show returns on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2017 at 8:00 P.M. ET on CBS.

This is an old poem of mine I found while sorting through paperwork.
Tears are an escape to another world,
Each drop releases a bad memory.
The feelings wash away and you feel better,
But there is still that ache in your heart.
When the last drop has fallen,
Memories are always with you.
You can't wash them away,
But if you learn to live with them,
Good things will fill their place.
I have some of these bad memories,
But now that I have shared,
My heart feels like an open door,
A place in which to play.
Sometimes I'll remember,
And cringe at what I did.
But then I'll think of good times,
And the love I got from them.
Peace is a hard thing to find,
It's a journey through your life.
But once you find the peace and love,
You'll finally find yourself.

Nope. It is an objective mathematical problem.
Let's take a single muscle. Edgelooping around this muscle takes a certain amount of vertices. You could use six, but then the muscle would look blocky. You could use eight, but then you waste a vertice you could use elsewhere in the mesh. So seven is the ideal.
Two different modellers of similar skill would both come to the conclusion that seven is the ideal amount of vertices to sculpt that muscle and therefore both would actually use seven vertices.
Now, there is also only one "perfect" way to connect that seven vertex muscle to the rest of the mesh.
And suddenly we have two figures that share the same mesh topology.
Did one modeller copy from the other ? No. But both were confronted with the same problem and both found the ideal solution for that problem, resulting in identical topology.
In the end sculpting a human body with the least amount of vertices possible while still properly edgelooping every major muscle isn't much different from creating a cube with the least amount of vertices possible.
Don't think of a figures mesh as a whole. Think of it as a large group of tiny little problems for each of which is only one perfect solution. (like the cube)
The more stringent the rules get, the less choices are left.
Building a mesh efficiently isn't about creativity. It's about finding the most efficient (perfect) meshflow for the shape.
If you don't have to worry about mesh weight, if "everything's fine as long as it's somewhere below 80.000 polygons", you can think like a figure artist who works with clay or wood or stone and just worry about the shape.
But once you start fighting about every single polygon, once you enter "19.999 vertices are fantastic but 20.000 are a completely unuseable bloated waste" territory, you have to start thinking like a mathematician.
What I'm saying is: Once a mesh topology is (near) perfect, there really aren't much (if any) options left to change that topology without either loosing efficiency or loosing "perfectness".
Looking at the DAZ meshes, (and especially the 3rd gen meshes as I think they are built cleaner as they don't rely on subdivision (which always adds a certain amount of waste), I'd be hard pressed finding vertices that could be changed or re-routed without negative effect, simply because the topology is that perfect.

Well done Kansas City. Thanks to Chevy "Keys To Your City" (LINK HERE) CardsDiaspora.com was able to go to the crap side of Missouri and take in MLBs 2012 All-Star Game. By now you know that it was like run bukkake for the National League sending former Cardinals skip Tony LaRussa out on top. Again. You know that Billy Butler and Robinson Cano are inexorably connected for the rest of their careers. So we'll take a deeper dive into just what the hell was going on around the game that FOX didn't cover.Beer Prices: 10 dollars for 24 ounces. Not terrible for a premium event, but I think the real story with Kauffman Stadium was the little touches you don't see anywhere else. Like with this beer, they just give you the 2 by 4 in the can.

2006 Wake Forest Preview & Prediction:
2005 RECORD: 4-7 overall, 3-5 ACC (T-4th in Atlantic).
HEAD COACH: Jim Grobe, 59-65-1 overall in 10 seasons; 26-32 in five seasons at Wake Forest.
KEY ADDITIONS: RB Josh Adams, RB Lucas Campbell, LB Hunter Haynes, LB Matthew Woodlief, TE Dennis Godfrey, RB Marcus Williams.
KEY LOSSES: RB Chris Barclay, QB Cory Randolph, OT Wesley Bryant, DT Goryal Scales, P Ryan Placekemeier.
OFFENSE: Quarterback Ben Mauk began the 2005 season as the starter, but it was such a disaster that 2004 starter Cory Randolph, who had been moved to wide receiver, replaced him. This time, there isn't a fallback if Mauk fails. Everyone knows the Demon Deacons will be a very good running team, especially with the return of tailback Micah Andrews, who rushed for 621 yards on just 110 carries last season. The offensive line is also stellar, with four starters returning that helped produce the ACC Offensive Player of the Year last season in tailback Chris Barclay.
The receiving corps is average without a lot of big-play potential. But that's not Wake Forest's mantra. It prefers to grind it out and use the clock as its ally. However, in order to make a run toward a bowl berth, Mauk has to be successful.
DEFENSE: There's plenty of experience on defense, but it all starts and ends with the defensive line. The Deacs have to have Matt Robinson (broken kneecap), Jeremy Thompson (torn ACL) and Zach Stukes (shoulder) all return to full strength and put pressure on the opposing quarterback.
Junior linebacker John Abbate, who has 177 career tackles, leads the defense. His fellow linebackers are pretty good, too. However, it's the secondary that is the major concern for Wake Forest. While it's loaded with experience, three starting seniors, that's not necessarily a good thing considering it's the same group that was the worst passing defense in the ACC last season.
It was so bad that it gave up nearly three touchdown passes in each of the last six games. Any sort of improvement will go a long way to helping the Deacs reaching the hopes of a making a bowl.
BY THE NUMBERS: 1 – Number of ACC wins Jim Grobe needs to tie Bill Dooley on the school's all-time league win list with 14.
WHAT TO WATCH: The season for Wake Forest hinges on their first four games, which includes Syracuse, Duke, Connecticut and Mississippi. If the Deacs only win one of those games, it will be another year of having to play the role of a spoiler instead of a bowl contender.
PREDICTION: 6-6 overall, 3-5 ACC (5th in Atlantic).
RB Micah Andrews
Head coach Jim Grobe
QB Ben Mauk

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Situated a mile away from its only occupied neighbour, the property is an extended 17th century cottage in 13 acres of it's own land on the foothills of the Carneddau mountains. 875 feet above the Conwy Valley, with no neighbours and just a view of the mountains and woodland, it gives you complete peace and quiet. Away from everything!
The accommodation comprises of two double bedrooms and a sofa bed. The living room retains the original 'upstairs' of a traditional Welsh cottage, which is now the balcony/third bedroom, which is accessed by a narrow stair. A dining area is below the balcony, which can seat 6 people. With bags of character, it's open to the roof with exposed beams, slate floor and wood burner.
Recently fitted shower room and toilet, kitchen and hallway. Free wireless internet, plenty of parking. Patio area with outside seats.
Access is via a steep road from the village of Tal y Bont, then ½ mile of gravel track to the house.
Access, the property and around: The house is situated in a location which some city dwellers might consider 'remote', however you can access a dual carriagway, Tesco, multi-screen cinema and the town of Conwy easily within 20 minutes. It takes about 8-10 minutes to get down to the village where there is a postoffice shop, pub, restaurant and local farm butcher.
On a still day you can often hear nothing - that is except for the sound of birds. At least one cuckoo will be heard in the summer months. The garden has a plentiful crowd of feathered visitors, including woodpeckers. Buzzards fly overhead and will often be heard calling out. Owls can heard all around at night in the nearby woods.
The Dulyn river, with it's many rock pools and waterfalls, runs within 50 metres of the house, and is a wonderful place to walk, listen to the water and lose yourself.
Smoking - Please note the house is strictly non-smoking.
Towels and linen are included.
We will consider dogs, please discuss with owners. We accept dogs under strict conditions, and would prefer only smaller calm breeds are not bouncing around a small cottage.
Please be aware that due to issues of damage and general mess and dirt both in the garden and inside the house we have seriously considered not accepting any dogs.
We have found that a stock phrase is used by every dog owner, i.e. 'one small well behaved dog'! Of course everyone's idea of what is a well behaved dog is different and everyone manages theirs differently.
We insist that if a dog is at the house it is strictly not allowed in the bedrooms at all, and also are not allowed on the furniture in the lounge. Apart from that the hall, kitchen and lounge floors are tiled or slated so are fine for dogs. So if your dogs jumps or sleeps on your bed or sofa at home then this property is NOT for you.
Sound grumpy? We're not, we just love the property and want to make sure it's in good condition for the next guests to stay.
There is a kennel in the garden within a covered pen. The garden is also secure for dogs, plus the adjacent 6 acre field with the house is fine for letting them off the lead.
Use of candles inside the property is not permitted for safety reasons.
Mountain guiding: If you enjoy walking, or have that that urge to conquer Snowdon, Wales' highest mountain, but don't quite have the experience to go it alone, we can also offer guided mountain walks.
Walk the famous Carneddau or Glyder ranges with full days out.
Routes tailored to suit all ages and abilities.
With an extensive knowledge and 25 years mountain experience of the Snowdonia National Park we can guide you to any of the summits.
£40 per person, maximum party of 6 persons, minimum £100 per day. Contact owner for details.
" We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The sheer tranquility, remoteness and peace, did the job for us.
When the brochure says isolated, it means isolated! No neighbours to be seen or heard, that was brilliant and so unique these days.
The cottage itself has all the mod cons you could need, yet retains its character and charm.
The views and surroundings are simply stunning and you have ready-made walks right on your doorstep.
We will return."
The house was idyllic for us. We also live in a rural part of southern England with no neighbours so this really was home from home.
The house is very comfortable with everything you need and the hosts were extremely hospitable.
We will definitely come again!
3rd visit for us - clearly not alone in finding that this delightful place has a magnetic pull for all sorts of reasons.
I'd injured my ankle just before the holiday. Could drive and limp, but not really able to hit the hills as we would normally do. Guess what - didn't matter. The cottage was as lovely as ever. The peace and quiet recharged my batteries. A couple of times we drove up the track to Eigiau, so I could hobble along and suck in the air and the views.
It really is a deeply special place, and I'm so glad we found it. Thanks to Louise and Craig for making us so welcome once again.
We stayed at this cottage as we were looking for somewhere quiet to take our dogs over the bonfire weekend as one of them is petrified of fireworks. This place did the trick! Well equipped and clean. Bathroom and kitchen nice and modern. Owners contacted us on arrival and the following day to ensure we had everything we needed. Lovely surrounding walks and friendly sheep as your only neighbours. My favourite thing about this cottage (other than the peace and quiet) was definitely the woodburner and the fairy lights around the beam. Thank you for having us and we hope to come back in the future!
Katie & Eddie
As someone else has said, you get what's on the tin; the owners are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. If you enjoy peace, solitude and silence (apart from nature) this is a great cottage to be in. It is clean, comfortable and well equipped. We took a dog and the grounds are extensive and secure. We were very happy to be there and hope to be able to return.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. The cottage is well equipped and has everything you might need. The location is indeed a little remote, and that may not suit everybody, but the quietness, and wonderful views are what you get in exchange. Well located for easy access to the coast or local beauty spots. Highly recommended
Craig and Louise have graciously let us have use of their cottage four times now over the last couple of years and we have happy memories of our times here. The cottage is perfect for getting away from it all but with all the home comforts you could need. We've visited in winter and spring so seen it in all weathers and never had a bad day whether it is running around the extensive 'garden', enjoying a glass of wine with a sunny sunset or settling down for a cosy night in front of the woodburner. Our dog adores it here and is at his happiest chasing around the field trying to see the sheep, and our two boys get their fill of 'outdoor time' (whilst still being able to connect to the internet for contact with the outside world). It's easy enough to get to the shops in llandudno junction or Llanrwst and the kitchen is fully equipped. Craig and Louise clearly love the place and are always generous and kind hosts, eager to ensure guests get the most from their visit. The folder in the living room and the available reading materials all give great information on the area and the history of the cottage.
Truly 'away from everything' we hope we will get the chance to visit again soon and add to our memories.
Thank you Craig and Louise for giving others the opportunity to experience such a fantastic place.

Conwy is known as the gateway to Snowdonia, and the Valley and river lead you directly into the heart of the National Park. With it's many pretty villages and natural beauty spots the valley is a hugely popular place, whether you want to visit the honey pot attractions, indulge in extreme sports or simply find complete peace, the Conwy Valley has it all.
Starting with the medieval walled town of Conwy itself, right up to the picturesque Betws Y Coed and beyond you have natural beauty spots every inch of the way, with footpaths taking you into the foothills and higher. On your doorstep there's a nationally popular Marin mountain bike trail starting at the historic town of Llanrwst. Here you can also visit Gwydir Castle, the medieval family home of the Wynn family.
The world famous Bodnant Gardens (Nat.Trust) are a must visit for any garden or plant enthusiast, or even if you just want to sit and relax or enjoy a cuppa. A great adrenalin rush is the Treetop Adventure just outside Betws.

Is my scar still healing? (photos)
I fell and injured my nose a month ago. It made a horizontal laceration when I fell. It has so far healed very nicely. The only thing now is a small line/scar that is still a little discolored. When I push up the skin on my nose slightly you can't see it at all. Is it still healing/filling in or will I need some work done?
Doctor Answers 2
Scar on Face -- fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, subcision
You are still in the beginning stages of healing. You can begin treatments with lasers, microneedling/PRP, and skin care once healed. Please see an expert for an in person evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Is my scar still healing?
Thank you for your question and photograph and I am sorry to hear of your fall. Your laceration appears to be healing well and should leave you with an imperceptible scar, but as long as the cut is red on the outside you are still healing on the inside. Scars can often mature and fade over the course of a year or more, so you should continue to see improvement.

Ever feel like you need a guide to British culture?
Well, Stephen Fry provides a quick insight in this new advert for Heathrow Airport.
Mr Fry says you only need to know these four tips.
1. "91% of all verbal exchanges in the United Kingdom concern the weather." He's not wrong there.
2. "We Brits love a queue… nevertheless if the queue should start to move particularly slowly then it may become necessary to turn to your companion and display your displeasure in the strongest possible terms."
Mr Fry proceeds to tut, and apologises for doing so.
3. If a plate or glass smashes, it is customary to let burst a "wahey!"
4. The "after you" rule. Where one insists to allow the person behind you in the queue to go first.
Mr Fry leaves the audience with one golden rule: "Make yourself at home."

Yep, everything's ordered up. Ordered the spacers, and rear shock reinforcement plates yesterday, they shipped out today. So, based on all my shipping updates and ETAs, should have everything coming in towards the middle/late next week. Hopefully in time for the weekend so I don't have to wait to do more, but...ugh, I hate waiting! But on the good note, everything will be here to do the work with, and unless I totally break something out of left field, should have everything to do it start to finish all at once. Can't wait!
Also noticed when doing my brakes that my rear subframe bushings are utterly destroyed. No damage (yet), but ugh, gotta find time to do THAT one of these weekends. Especially after all this stuff going in it. What a chore lol.

Forecoloured is the distance road,
And set about the tone,
Crossed paths amongst the other things;
Books passed and left alone.
Those hands we thought were in control,
Are puppets' with their string,
Yet powder pots and melancholy
Fight against that thing
Called time, it is, and without doubt
Hard ruler of us all,
But still we seem to snatch the reins,
And be driven in to fool.
Now, how can I, and you, and me
Step back from that divine?
Can't tip the hand, or whisper in;
Can't tell time to change its mind.
Forecoloured is the future light,
And so we may all say:
"Don't trust it all, besides we find
Our destiny our way."
Yet in that secret forward place,
A plot will spring about,
And how then can we turn and say
Time doesn't sort it out?

"The Mask, It Won't Come Off!"Mature
Carly Beth was running down the street, knocking kids down as she went. She finally had to stop and catch her breath. She leaned over and almost vomited. Her breathing was heavy. A hand fell on her shoulder. She quickly turned around to face the owner of the hand. "Sabrina!" "I was looking everywhere for you! Where were you?" Carly Beth blinked and looked around a couple of times, she avoided eye contact with Sabrina. "I...guess I got a little lost." She lied. Sabrina looked at her friend. "I was worried about you." Sabrina looked down at the blood on Carly Beth. "What happened to your hands!" Carly Beth looked around, a cloud of worry covering her face. "I...uh...cut them! Yeah, I fell when I was running here, and...I cut them!" Sabrina looked at Carly Beth. "Okay..." Carly Beth shifted her eyes from side to side. "Hey...don't look at me like that." "Did you find Chuck and Steve?" Carly Beth looked down at her feet. "Well...yeah..." Sabrina got a worried look on her face. "Did you scare them?" Still staring at her feet, Carly Beth spoke in a happier voice. The mask's voice. "Oh...I think so." Sabrina shook hair out of her eyes. "You didn't hurt them did you?" Carly Beth's voice returned to her. "Of...course not." The two stood there and looked at each other carefully. Sabrina finally spoke. "Let's just go home, okay?" Carly Beth nodded and they headed off towards Sabrina's house.
The water gushed, bright red. Carly Beth wiped her hands off on a towel. Sabrina emptied a bag of candy out on the kitchen table, it nearly covered the smooth, glossy surface. "I had to get a lot because my little sister is sick and couldn't go out tonight. I hope she's okay." Carly Beth wiped some of the thick, slimy sweat from her forehead. "I've got to get this mask off, it's getting really hot in here." Sabrina popped some candy corn in her mouth. "Good idea" she mumbled. Carly Beth placed her hands under the chin of the mask and lifted up. She grimaced in pain. Sabrina swallowed and looked over at Carly Beth. "What's wrong now?" Carly Beth kept tugging and wincing in pain. "What is it?" "The mask, it wont come off!" Sabrina stood up. "Really?" Carly Beth took her hands off the mask and shook the slimy goo from her hands. "It's like it's stuck to my skin!" Sabrina grinned. "It's going to be pretty fucking funny when we have to call the fire department to cut you out of your mask." Carly Beth turned to Sabrina. The mask in a vicious sneer. "Shut up bitch, and help her." Sabrina stared in horror. Carly Beth's voice returned, she started to cry. "Help me Sabrina! Get it off me!" Sabrina ran to her friend and shoved her hands down the back of her shirt. She felt around. "Carly Beth...this is going to sound weird...but...I can't find where the mask ends. It keeps going. There's no line in between the mask and your skin! The mask is your skin!" Sabrina back against a wall. Carly Beth began breathing heavily, the tears stopped running. She began to whimper. "That's crazy! It's impossible! It has to end, it's a goddamn mask Sabrina!" She ran to the bathroom, Sabrina quickly followed. They stood in front of a large mirror. Carly Beth stared. She looked for a place where the mask ended. She couldn't find it. Then she saw her eyes. She froze. Sabrina looked worriedly from the mirror to her friend. "W...what is it?" Carly Beth continued to stare into her own eyes. "Oh...no..." Sabrina put her hand on Carly Beth's shoulder. "What is it?" Carly Beth backed away from the mirror. "Those eyes...those aren't my eyes Sabrina...those aren't my eyes!" Sabrina started to cry. "What are you talking about?" Carly Beth put her hands and her head and screamed. "THESE AREN'T MY EYES!" Carly Beth burst from the bathroom. Before Sabrina could catch up, she was gone out the front door, back into the night.
Carly Beth ran up to three children. One dressed as a witch, one as a terrorist, one as a ghost. She stopped in front of them. "What are you Supposed to be?" Asked the witch. Carly Beth fell to her knees. "I'm Supposed to be me! I'm supposed to be me but I'm not! I'm supposed to be me but I'm not!" She stopped screaming then looked down at the ground. "She's supposed to be her...but she's not." The three scared children stared as Carly Beth rose back to her feet, still staring at the ground. The mask in a sneer. "She's supposed to be her...but she's not." Carly Beth reached for the knife in her trench coat, but it wasn't there. It must have fallen out. She swung her arm out and grabbed the witch by the throat. The witch stared into Carly Beth's blood red eyes. "You're...insane..." There was an audible snap and the witch went limp in Carly Beth's hand.A weak gurgle escaped her throat. Carly Beth dropped her and looked up. The other children had ran away. Carly Beth looked around, worried. She was dazed and confused. The mask was taking over more often now. She had to find help. She ran to the only place she could go. She ran to the Halloween Novelty Shop.

Friday, September 21st is the International Day of Peace; a day for us to reflect on peace and non-violence. As a veteran of the war in Iraq, this day carries, for me, a special meaning. For myself it is a solitary day, a day for me to reflect on the things I have done and seen. For me, it is a day for me to forgive and ask for forgiveness.
We see war on television; we suffer it in 30-second clips and sound bites, and like a fun-sized Halloween candy bar, we consume it quickly and move on barely affected by the things we have seen and heard. We watch our little TV war and react in a manner consistent with the things we have already decided. Some of us will reaffirm our support of military action; others of us will say, "Oh, that's horrible," and reaffirm our opposition to the war, but inside, nothing about us has truly been affected by the things we have just witnessed.
For some, the war is not on the television. For these people, these men, women, and children, the war is the life they live. For them, as it was for me, war is the smell of burning flesh, war is the screams of the dying, war is the recoil of a rifle, war is widows and orphans, and war is not glorious. When I see an image of Iraq on television, I think of two things, I think of my friends, living and dead, and I think of the smells. Diesel fuel, burning cars, dead bodies, gunpowder, these are the things that come to me when I see images of that place.
It is my wish that when others see these images, they are affected. That they will stop and recognize that this is not just on television. I hope that they will realize that there are people on the other side of the world, each person infinitely valuable and infinitely unique, people who will never see their wives or husbands again, people who will die having never held their children, people who have names and quirky habits, crooked smiles and funny laughs.
Think for a moment about what you can do to help our soldiers. What can you do to unite friends and families? What can you do instead of changing the channel or getting up and grabbing a snack from the fridge? Perhaps you can just sit there for a moment longer and remember that it is real. Let it make your day a little bit worse. Decide to do something about it.
There are many things you can do to move towards peace: write letters, join organizations with peace-minded goals, or talk to your friends. Let others know that supporting our troops means more than some yellow magnet, it means letting them come home to their families, it means providing them with quality mental and physical care when they come home, it means acting towards peace.

Justin Bieber + Cody Simpson Working on Mystery Project with Kendall Jenner + Gigi Hadid [PHOTO]
Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are working on a secret project together.
Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are working on a secret project together.
Justin Bieber will appear on Thursday's (Feb. 5) episode of 'The Doctors' to surprise Kilee Brookbank, a courageous young teen who survived a horrific home explosion.
Justin Bieber is owning up to his past behavior in a heartfelt, confessional video.
Justin Bieber surprised Ellen DeGeneres -- and Beliebers! -- when he appeared on her talk show in an episode that airs today (Jan. 29).
If Sam Smith wins Album of the Year at the 2015 Grammys, he's going to pull a Kanye on himself and hand his award over to Beyonce.
Never underestimate the power of Beliebers -- they just scored his friend a starting position in the upcoming NBA All-Star Game!
If you don't learn anything else today, know this: Justin Bieber recently performed an impromptu acoustic set in L.A., there is video footage and we are swooning our faces off.
'SNL' took on Justin Bieber's sultry, black-and-white Calvin Klein ads in a ridiculously hilarious spoof this weekend -- and the Biebs himself responded.
Justin Bieber is more than prepared to endure the wrath of a Comedy Central roast -- in fact, he asked for it! Literally.
While many are quick to pass judgement on Justin Bieber, Jake T. Austin isn't one of them.

IBM Quantum Experience Opens Quantum Cloud Computing To The Public
- IBM Research is making quantum computing available on the public cloud to accelerate innovation.
- According to IBM, quantum computing will extend computation far beyond what is imaginable with today's computers.
- IBM is racing towards building a universal quantum computer, which could be developed "in a handful of years.".
IBM Research announced that it is making quantum computing available to the public through the cloud. The cloud-enabled quantum computing platform, called IBM Quantum Experience, will allow users to run algorithms and experiments on IBM's quantum processor, work with the individual quantum bits (qubits), and explore tutorials and simulations around what might be possible with quantum computing.
The quantum processor, housed at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in New York, is composed of five superconducting qubits and represents the latest advancement in IBM's quantum architecture that can scale to larger quantum systems. According to the company, IBM's quantum processor is the leading approach towards building a universal quantum computer.
"Quantum computers are very different from today's computers, not only in what they look like and are made of, but more importantly in what they can do. Quantum computing is becoming a reality and it will extend computation far beyond what is imaginable with today's computers," said Arvind Krishna, senior vice president and director, IBM Research. "This moment represents the birth of quantum cloud computing. By giving hands-on access to IBM's experimental quantum systems, the IBM Quantum Experience will make it easier for researchers and the scientific community to accelerate innovations in the quantum field, and help discover new applications for this technology."
We often report about developments in the emergent quantum computer industry, considered by experts and analysts as one of the key technology sectors of the next decade. Quantum computers, which contain information in quantum bits - qubits - that can be in a quantum superposition of zero and one states, could process information much faster than today's computers by exploiting subtle physical phenomena such as quantum entanglement.
The theoretical peak performance of quantum computers increases very fast with the number of qubits - but so does the engineering challenge of building practical operational high-performance quantum processors, overcoming qubit instability and sensitivity to environmental noise. The development of algorithms and software tailored to quantum computing is another important challenge, which IBM is directly addressing with this initiative.
In 2015 IARPA, the research arm of US intelligence, launched a research program to overcome the current practical limitations of quantum computing, which included a multi-year research grant for IBM to advance toward practical quantum computers.
"We are at a turning point where quantum computing is moving beyond theory and experimentation to include engineering and applications," said Krishna. "Quantum computing promises to deliver exponentially more speed and power not achievable by today's most powerful computers with the potential to impact business needs on a global scale."
"The IBM Quantum Experience represents the birth of quantum cloud computing, offering students, researchers, and general science enthusiasts hands-on access to IBM's experimental cloud-enabled quantum computing platform," notes the IBM Quantum Experience website. "The results of more than 35 years of IBM Quantum Computing research are now available for exploration at the click of a button."
IBM Research has built a dynamic user interface on the IBM Cloud platform that allows users to easily connect to the quantum hardware via the cloud. The team sees the introduction to the public of this complete quantum computing framework as just the start of a new user community, which embraces the quantum world and how it works. To try the system out, researchers and quantum computing enthusiasts can apply for an invitation on IBM's Bluemix cloud computing site.
Jerry Chow, who leads IBM's quantum computing group at the Thomas J. Watson research center, said that IBM wants to get programmers and researchers ready for the undetermined point in the future when quantum cloud computing is ready for practical use, MIT Technology Review reports. "We want to help people think differently and learn how to program a quantum computer," said Chow.
Chow's team recently published a research paper describing a new quantum chip, which would put IBM ahead of Alphabet Inc-A (NASDAQ:GOOGL) in the race for a universal quantum computer which is able to tackle complex, real-world tasks. Chow said that his team is working to scale IBM's quantum processor from 5 to 50 qubits, which according to experts would permit solving computational problems immensely difficult and perhaps practically impossible for conventional machines. "We do believe that 50 qubits is possible in the next handful of years," said Chow.
Other leaders in the emerging quantum computing space include Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and the private company D-Wave, which could either go public or be acquired by one of the tech giants.
IBM also announced a Research Frontiers Institute to accelerate innovation by allowing members of the institute, such as Samsung, JSR and Honda, to become familiar with quantum computing and begin the development of commercial applications.
Forbes notes that IBM's announcement ushers in a new era for cloud computing. Before today, we used the cloud to access greater capability at lower cost. With universal quantum computers in the cloud, anyone will be able to access capabilities that virtually no one - even large firms and sovereign nations - could before. "That really is something truly new and different," concludes Forbes.
Besides forming and training future researchers and programmers, it seems likely that IBM intends to experiment with cloud infrastructures and interfaces for future commercial initiatives in quantum computing. It's a long bet - operational quantum computers aren't expected to arrive before the next decade - but one that could pay off handsomely if quantum computing becomes the Next Big Thing. Investors should continue to consider IBM stock as a buy-and-hold.

the takeover
in the dark of night when reality is a ghost she finds you, echoes at first of a half forgotten memory. you thought she had left you, but the more you listen the more you realise that she's been there all along, waiting for you to trip; and while your vision blurs she slips back in the door. it's lonely when you lose yourself and at first you think she cares. you forget that she is both your fear and your need, that she will alternately soothe you with the soft lilting voice of a lover and grip you unrelenting with claws razor sharp, moulding you until you don't recognise yourself. she is the stability you crave and, without thought, without feeling, you don't look back as you follow her into the shadows. you wake in the morning with your constant companion, your deadliest friend, and you realise it's possible for obsession and hate to coexist. you look in the mirror and her eyes look back from inside the shell of you that she's made her home. by this time you may know that in letting her live you have given her free will to slowly but surely destroy you. you begin to remember that she whispers false promises and that there is no silence in sleep, but by then she has what remains of your soul in a stranglehold and you, passive and cold, simply watch as she drains you of life.

Reglois is a small hamlet in the commune of Alligny-en-Morvan situated in the Morvan Natural Park on a gently sloping hillside that faces south. There are panoramic views of the Morvan to the south towards Mont Beauvary. Reglois is surrounded by unspoilt meadows and forest. The early spring produces a crop of cowslips, oxlips and wild daffodils and later hidden in some parts of the forest there are lily of the valley. In the meadows and forest the autumn produces an abundant crop of mushrooms and other edible fungi. The gite (cottage) is situated on the first floor of outbuildings adjoining the owner's house.
My wife and I have been married for 18 years and lived and worked in the UK and South Africa. Esmé was born in South Africa and speaks fluent Afrikaans and English; I am from Yorkshire in England
We have had a property in France for the last 8 years but not being able to settle permanently while I was doing contract work, we have finally decided Burgundy (Reglois) is where we would like to find roots and integrate into the French lifestyle and culture.
I am a keen cyclist and golfer, while Esmé is an avid gardener and very people friendly.
Esme Horner purchased this cottage in 2011
Esmé and I were house hunting looking for a region to settle in, when we arrived in the Morvan we were absolutely taken by the natural beauty and unspoilt scenery. Being English speaking we had no problem communicating with the locals as they all went out of their way to make us feel at home. The house is situated in a little hamlet with just a few neighbours; closest village is about 3km away.
Tranquil surrounded by woodlands , do as much or as little as you want
We received a warm welcome when we arrived after a long journey. Geoff had prepared a lovely cold meal with other food items that straight away helped us
to relax and enjoy La Vigne. The accommodation was comfortable clean
and had everything you needed. The bed was the best we had ever slept
in during our stays in France. The seating areas compliment the
property and you really do feel totally relaxed. Esme and Geoff are
the most friendly and kind hosts you could wish for. Always on hand to
help with ideas of places to visit and local amenities. The Wi-Fi
access is most useful. We used it to book a tour around the mustard
factory in Beaune. The Morvan is a beautiful area with many towns to
visit and added to this you have the countryside to enjoy. A five star
The home-cooked dinner Esme and Geoff provided was welcomed after driving all day and was delicious. The extra touch reflects how warm and friendly the hosts are.
The kitchen was completely stocked and the cottage was clean and comfortable.
We enjoyed the Autumn colors and hiking around the large Bibracte archeological site.
well kept gite with friendly owners on site. Very quiet and relaxing - just what wanted.
Geoff had prepared a lovely salad when we arrived, just what was needed after a long journey. The Gite is in a great location and has all the equipment you need for a relaxing holiday. Both Esme and Geoff gave us plenty of ideas about places to visit, they are very good hostes.
A lovely relaxing holiday location. Gite was exactly as described and had everything we needed (and more!). View from balcony was lovely and the hamlet was pleasant to wander around. UK TV channels were a pleasant surprise.
Esme was very helpful when I muddled the original booking. Both Esme and Geoff were very friendly.
Our first gite experience and one we shall repeat.
We have looking all over France for the past few years and have found the most amazing area of France with the most amazing gite to stay in and the hosts are simply fantastic.Esma and Geoff were really fantastic from the minute we arrived ,after a long drive there was a light meal for us which was to die for.the setting of the gite was perfect for us as it gave a real feel for France from the forests to the beautiful lakes at Setton to the romain town of Autun.Dijon and the Burgundy vineyards are with an hours drive and both well worth a visit.We love the area so much we are returning to stay with Esma and Geoff in August to buy a house and enjoy a bit of Burgundy
Burgundy is an excellent area of France to visit. Staying in the Gite la Vigne makes it even more special. Esme and Geoff are perfect hosts. The Gite is homely, comfortable and you need for nothing. From arriving, Esme's home cooked meal with accompaniments from Geoff's garden ensures that your treasured holiday memories begin on a high. We have find memories of Burgundy due to being able to spend it at Gite la Vigne and with two very special people. There is so much to see and with Geoff and Esme's helpful advice we were able to see so much. Mick and Lynn Stapley

The Nationals, it appears, will have to move a spot down their list of middle infield options; Orlando Hudson isn't coming to Washington.
According to league sources, the free agent second baseman is either headed to the Twins or the Indians, with the Twins appearing to be the front-runner.
The Nationals had acknowledged interest in Hudson and had made an offer believed to be upwards of $3 million.
Several players, including first baseman Adam Dunn, said they believed Washington was Hudson's top choice. But the former Blue Jays, D-Backs and Dodgers infielder was unwilling to lower his price for the Nationals and will now likely land in the AL Central.
So what now? Well, the Nationals are interested in Adam Kennedy, and they could land him (although he's commanding interest from several other teams). But they could start the spring with Ian Desmond and Cristian Guzman as the starters, with Willie Harris and Alberto Gonzalez as backup options.
I'll keep my ear to the ground on the future options, but Hudson does not appear to be one of them.
