Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

In 1929, John Grierson made his celebrated documentary Drifters, about herring fishing. He was considered to have come close to the lives of fishermen but his documentary seems detached and distant by comparison with Leviathan. The film-makers here don't just give us the fishermen's view.
Using lightweight, waterproof cameras and shooting from the most oblique and intimate angles, they give us a fish-eye perspective. The effect is often disturbing (many have called this a "horror" documentary.)
The lack of voiceover contextualization and intertitles adds to the eerie quality as fish are caught and skinned to the accompaniment of cacophonous scraping, screeching and clanking on the soundtrack.
Castaing-Taylor and Paravel are artists and anthropologists whose work is arguably better suited to galleries than cinemas.
Their intentions here are opaque (this isn't the typical eco-doc decrying the excesses of the fishing industry) but what can't be denied is the jarring, murky brilliance of their film-making.

Where I stayed
What I did
Oliphant to Kane Pennsylvania:
Stats - 543 km and 8 hours of driving
Our first day is behind us now. We left at 7:40 this morning, on a crisp clear day. The sun rising over Sky Lake and the Pike River.
We crossed into the US at noon and entered our first state - New York. Instead of following Highway #219 down through Ellicottville, we veered off to the Southwest to follow the 'Seaway Trail' along the shore of Lake Erie. We did this for about 2 hours, including a lunch break at Hamburg Town Beach where we sat on a log by the water's edge
When we turned away from the lake we stuck mostly to 2 lane blacktop all the way to Kane. Almost no cars, just Amish laundry on the line. Drove through Allegany State Park (NY) and Allegheny National Forest (PA). Same land different name?!? We arrived at Kane Manor and were struck by the size of the place. Although it is old and being renovated by the owner Dave Kreig, you can tell this is a house with a elegant past . Situated on the edge of town on 40 - 50 acres of land, the house is rock solid. As I write this I am sitting in the beautiful big living room, while Donna reads on the couch opposite mine. This place is just what we were looking for on our first night.
Kane is a small town which reminded us in some ways of Wiarton. We walked 'downtown' to have dinner at the Texas Hot Lunch. A good dinner for two for $20 with tip, not bad!
Tomorrow we're off to the Kinzua Lookout and then on to Mechanicsburg, PA to meet up with John & Kara Arnold.
I had a wonderful day of driving with my 'travelling companion', my wife, my soulmate & best friend - Donna. There is no one in the world I would rather be doing this with!

It was Ginger McCain, the mastermind behind Red Rum's hat-trick of victories in the world's toughest steeplechase, who ventured only seven years ago that "horses do not win Grand Nationals ridden by women".
But today the legendary trainer could be proved wrong when two women line up at Aintree with realistic hopes of shattering one of sport's biggest bastions of male supremacy.
Nina Carberry and Katie Walsh are not just National Hunt's leading female exponents, they are also sisters-in-law and this year were at the altar as bride and bridesmaid for a union that brought together Ireland's top racing families.
The twin dynasties will field four riders today. Their brothers, Paul Carberry and Ruby Walsh, both previous winners, will also be on the starting line.
But though the men's mounts may prove a safer bet in the hard-to-predict race, the National Velvet dream of a woman triumphing over Liverpool's 40 fences is already firing the imaginations of the once-a-year gambler.
Yet Ms Walsh, the slight favourite of the women, said that while victory would be a "dream come true," she was realistic about her chances. "I would just love to get round, that's the main thing, it's my first ride in the Grand National and loads of jockeys have ridden in it who have never even got round."
Since 1977 when women were first allowed to ride, 14 have taken part but only four have gone the distance. Yet William Hill is offering odds of 11-1 on a women winning today.
The friends have met before. Ms Walsh triumphed at Cheltenham in 2010 narrowly beating Ms Carberry although both were later given bans for excessive use of the whip. They are determined and committed competitors. Following her Co Meath wedding to Ted Walsh Jnr in February, Ms Carberry spent just two days on honeymoon before preparing for Cheltenham.
Gee Armytage, a two time winner at Cheltenham and personal assistant to 16-times champion jockey Tony McCoy, said she was confident a woman would win at Liverpool soon, if not today. "It is only a matter of time before someone gets on the right horse. There is no reason why Nina or Katie should not win," she said.
Alison Lidderdale, of Women in Racing, which promotes female success in the sport, said there were surprisingly few vestiges of sexism remaining. "These girls have come up through the ranks and battled hard to be where they are. In the weighing room they are completely respected," she said.
And they're off! The women in the saddle
Nina Carberry The 27-year-old from Co Meath will be on 20-1 shot Organised-confusion. In 2011, she became only the second woman to win the Irish Grand National. She is regarded as one of the toughest contenders in the sport. Recently married Ted Walsh Jnr, brother of Aintree rival Nina, who was a bridesmaid at the glitzy bash. Carberry is from one of Irish racing's most famous families. Both her brothers are jockeys; her father Tommy is a top trainer.
Katie Walsh Slightly favoured to become the first woman to win the National on 16-1 Seabass. Hails from one of Ireland's great jumping dynasties. Her father Ted trained 2000 National winner Papillon, ridden by her brother Ruby. Mr Walsh Snr chose his daughter to ride Seabass after she won twice on the horse this season. Katie, 27, began her amateur career in 2003 but proved her worth in 2010 when she bagged two winners at the Cheltenham Festival.Reuse content

Dumb Chronicle CEQA editorial
It's remarkable that after more than eight years there's still widespread ignorance and denial about the litigation on the Bicycle Plan and the city's illegal attempt to rush it through the process.
My first post on the issue was way back in February, 2005, with the text of my comment to the Planning Commission objecting to exempting the Bicycle Plan from environmental review. Okay, I understand that few people were reading my blog then, but the Chronicle should have noticed when Judge Warren issued a temporary injunction against the city and the Bicycle Plan in June, 2006. You can't get an injunction unless the judge thinks you're likely to prevail when the hearing on the merits is held. And then there was Judge Busch's decision in November of that year ordering the city to do an environmental review of the 500-page plan, keeping the injunction in effect until it did that.
The Bicycle Coalition noticed, and they weren't pleased. But they provided everyone with a PDF of Judge Busch's decision. The Chronicle's editorial writer seems to be frozen in time much like the Bicycle Coalition's Leah Shahum, who shared her ignorance of CEQA with the public that year.
In an editorial last Sunday ("An environmental law that needs an overhaul," April 7, 2013) the SF Chronicle offered an example of that ongoing ignorance. (Interesting that there's still no link provided for the editorial[Later: Here's a link to the editorial by something called "CEQA Working Group," which seems to be mostly realtors and chambers of commerce. Of course they like it]. Maybe the editorial staff at the Chronicle belatedly realized how dumb it is.) The Bicycle Plan litigation is cited as an example of obstructionism showing the need for Scott Wiener's bogus reform: "It is outrageous that an ostensible environmental law was able to hold up San Francisco's plan to expand bike paths for four years." (Wiener originally cited the Bicycle Plan litigation as an example of CEQA abuse, but dropped it when even he apparently realized that it's really only an example of the city's misconduct.)
Like Shahum the editorialist is ignorant of CEQA's essence---that any project that even might have a negative impact on the environment must undergo some kind of environmental review. The Bicycle Plan clearly qualifies as a "project." CEQA's definition: "Project" means an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment...
If you plan to take away thousands of parking spaces and dozens of traffic lanes on busy city streets to make bike lanes, it's impossible to deny that that might have an impact on the environment. But the city denied it to the bitter end, until Judge Busch told them in effect to cut the crap and do an EIR on the Plan.
The editorial's skewed version of the Bicycle Plan issue: "A lawsuit was filed demanding further review of the impact of removing parking spots and traffic lanes for automobiles. A judge finally gave the green light to the plan, after four years of delay."
These two sentences skip over several crucial years and the realities of the issue. "Further" review? In fact the city had done no environmental review at all of the Bicycle Plan, not even an initial study. It simply declared the Plan exempt from CEQA. (Reportedly City Attorney Herrera told the city it had to do an EIR, but his advice was ignored by Mayor Newsom and the Board of Supervisors.) Judge Busch only gave the "green light" to the city after it had done a massive environmental impact report (EIR) on the project that, by the way, showed what we expected: the Bicycle Plan is going to increase traffic congestion in San Francisco, including delaying a number of Muni lines.
We think that EIR is inadequate in a number of ways and successfully appealed Judge Busch's decision ratifying the EIR to the Court of Appeal, which the Chronicle reported inaccurately in a City Insider item in January.
Until Sunday's Chronicle editorial, Randy Shaw's Beyond Chron piece was the dumbest thing written about CEQA "reform" in the city.

As a child, Winsor had aspirations to become a Baptist Minister.
Winsor appeared at a soap-opera luncheon and autograph signing at the Courtyard by Marriott in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley on October 28 2006. All proceeds benefited the Armando Solorzano Foundation, which is a not-for-profit organisation for the family of Armando Solorzano, who died of brain cancer.
Winsor loves to sing - his speciality being country music.
Before Winsor married Deanna, he was married to Candice from 1996 until they divorced in 1998.
Winsor was born at the exact same moment that John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Winsor graduated from Rockwall High School in Texas in 1982.
Winsor enjoys writing fiction.
Winsor practices martial arts.
Winsor studied at Texas A&M University on a football scholarship.
Winsor's height is 6' 0"
Winsor has appeared in numerous commercials, most popularly, 'The Marlboro Man'.
Winsor enjoys motor sports and riding his motorcycles.
Winsor did a Pringles commerical that never aired.
Winsor was the Marlboro Man for the cigarette company ads for three years.
Winsor and Deanna 's son, Winsor Harmon IV, was born on May 10, 2003.
Winsor has been married to Deanna Lindstrom since 18 July 2001. They have one child together, while Deanna's daughter, August, from a previous relationship also lives with them.
Winsor enjoys playing football with his friends in his spare time.
Winsor has a daughter, Jade, from his first marriage that ended in 1998.
Winsor is an avid surfer.
Winsor enjoys car racing in his spare time.
Winsor attended Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University on a football scholarship.
Winsor's astrological sign is Scorpio.
Winsor occasionally memorises his scripts at Starbucks.
Winsor's height is 6' (1.83 m).
Winsor: (on his wife watching B&B) She's the first to call and say, 'That was awful!' But she's also the first to say, 'That rocked!'. She's loved all the stuff recently, especially the funeral scenes. She called me when she saw them and said, 'That is by far the truest I have seen you or anyone on the show'. I was like, 'That's very impressive, but don't tell Susan Flannery that!'
Winsor: (secrets to having a successful marriage) That's all credit to her. She's so similar to me. There is not a jealous bone in our bodies. We have this unspoken trust, and it just fits and it's right. There's no doubt we'll grow old together. We'll be sitting on our rocking chairs with our grandchildren 80 years from now, because we're both in our 20s! (Winsor actually turns 43 in 2006). She's my biggest supporter.
Winsor: (on juggling family life and work) That's what I love about Daytime. I get to see my children every night and every morning. I'm not busy 20 hours a day. My work schedule usually is 8am-6pm, and then I'm doing something with my boy and having dinner with the family.
Winsor: (on having a son) I had two girls first (a daughter, Jade, 21 from a previous relationship, and a stepdaughter, August, eight, from Deanna's previous relationship). I have someone on my side now, and it's been really great.
Winsor: (on fatherhood) It is the single greatest accomplishment for me. I was looking at my son last night, Winsor Dewey Harmon IV, and thinking how great this is. He's now three. It's hard to believe! He's a little me, but a little more active than me.
Winsor: (on managing a personal life with such a heavy workload) I've been at work travelling on the weekends doing appearances. With all the emotions I have to play, it gets crazy at times, but I'm doing exactly what I always wanted to do.
Winsor: (on how B&B fans have reacted to the pairing of Thorne & Taylor as a couple) I've heard it's 100% positive. I don't get involved in the fan mail. Susan Flannery (Stephanie) and I have the same approach to this. We do this business because it's something we enjoy doing. I don't like being put on a pedestal just because I'm on TV. But I do read some of the letters, and they're all positive.
Winsor: (on the differences in working with former & current love interests) Schae and I really had a rapport that was so natural because we were such good friends. She would come to my house and we'd have a big make-out scene for rehearsal. And because Schae didn't want to make my wife Deanna jealous, she would kiss her, too. It was all in fun. I love working with Hunter (Tylo) because it's something new. She really dives into what she's doing and fights for what she believes in. Hunter takes 45 minutes to do a scene the way she's going to do it. I love her dedication. I do my work the same way.
Winsor: (on keeping fit) I start off in the morning lifting weights. Then I run on the treadmill for 30 minutes at interval paces and get in nine miles. That's three days a week and then, the other three days, I go to my gym and swim 20 to 30 laps.

Legal & General yesterday snapped up Cofunds Holdings for £131m from a consortium of City fund managers.
The insurer, which has targeted bolt-on acquisitions under new boss Nigel Wilson, said the deal will help it expand its digital business.
Cofunds is a so-called platform that helps investment advisers and clients manage their portfolios of money.
The deal will boost assets under management in the group's savings division to £103bn.
L&G said it expects to make cost savings of about £11m each year from 2015.
Mark Gregory, the head of savings at the group, said: "The projected growth in the investment platform market is substantial and we expect Cofunds to be a major beneficiary of this growth.
"Our acquisition of Cofunds will create a great opportunity to extend our asset-gathering capability and grow our savings business."
Legal & General already owned 25 per cent of Cofunds alongside asset managers such as Jupiter and Threadneedle.
The company expects to complete a deal by the end of June.

Communication before, during and after s3x is as important as the s3xu@l act itself. So how you ask a woman, by words or action, for s3x, what you say and do during s3x and how you react after s3x will mean a lot more than you think.
Just like many men have an ego issue with their penis size and sexual performance, many women take verbal and non-verbal communication during s3x very serious.
As a rule, it is good to be gentle, courteous and respectful when talking or acting in bed with a loved one.
However, if you don't know what bedroom courtesy in speech means, just try to never say these annoying and disrespectful phrases:
1. "You don't seem to know anything about s3x" – some people think saying this, or variations of it, is like stating that she is modest. The truth however is that it is derogatory and very annoying. If you notice she doesn't know a move or cannot do something, respectfully show her how to.
2. "My ex used to like this…" – Really? How much more stupid can one get than to bring in an ex during s3x with a new person? That is automatically saying "my ex is better than you in bed." CONTINUE ON PAGE 2

"Before the Doors of Walmart" by Jim Walker
Jim Walker made the shortlist for the Shakespeare Selfie competition in the 19+ category. Congratulations Jim!
Here is his present-day soliloquy for King Henry the Fifth from Henry V.
"Before the Doors of Walmart"
By Jim Walker
Scene: In Front of Walmart, 5 AM, the day after Thanksgiving.
King Henry V:
How yet resolves the manager of this store?
We have been here since first
The lark her early matins trilled
Above this black and oily asphalt lot.
And still the doors are tightly shut.
Our hopes for one of "Only Six per Store!!!!"
Are fading like the morning moon
As shoppers without measure come to swell
The raging ranks of those already here.
While underneath our tired feet,
A hundred empty Tim's with rolled- up rims
Are trampled like the French at Agincourt.
Throw wide the doors , good Keeper of the Gate.
Before our patience fades like nighttime's dark embrace.
Good God, why do you tease poor fellows thus?
Through your windows we can see, like soldiers on parade ,
Rank on rank of Ipods, cell phones, laptops ,
Flatscreens, WiFi's and a hundred other things
Our hearts desire, just waiting for our eager hands
To hie them to our waiting hearths,
I pray you, let us in.
For we are all the same and loyal host
Who daily fill our carts with five pound bags
Of Frozen Fries and Pizza Puffs
Till every artery, vein and heart cry "Hold! Enough!"
We are the ones who rush to buy your brazen colored shorts
And women's tops from Extra Large to 6XL in numbers without count,
Though folds of falling flab still over- hang and jutty
Both belts and belly bags alike.
But now, our patience and our loyalty
Are tested like a virgin's thighs
And those who would have been content to roam your aisles
With avaricious smiles , our purses full of credit cards ,
The balances paid down and limits all extended to the max ,
Will transform soon into a seething mob of rude, unsated greed.
What is it then to me if all your frail and geriatric Greeters
Are crushed and trampled by a sudden rush
Of rude and obese, tank- topped women,
Their shopping carts in front like battering rams ,
Driving all before them, as did the English Heavy Horse at Crecy?
Come, Gentle Manager, an open door can still all this avoid
But haste, .lest loyalty and profit be both of them destroyed
What say - will yield and let us through these doors?
Or do we hie our trade to other Big Box Stores?
The winner of the Shakespeare Selfie competition will be announced on Friday, May 16.

43DA148 Peter and 43DA001 Darren from Team 43 will send a postcard direct from North Stradbroke Island to any DA-RC member worked
Most serious IOTA Hunters will agree that receiving a postcard mailed straight from an island from the DXpedition team themselves, to go with a special IOTA QSL card from the QSL Manager, is always an attractive proposition indeed and the perfect proof of contact in IOTA contests such as the DA-RC IOTA Challenge! (See http://www.delta-alfa.com/contests/ic/ )
This unique gesture was also offered by Darren and Tom (43DA234) during their memorable DXpeditions to the Solomon Islands (135 division) and Vanuatu (197 division) in 2011 and 2010 respectively and is now regarded as a feature of Team 43's dx adventure.
For more infos on Team 43's DXpedition to picturesque North Stradbroke Island in the Queensland State (South Coast) South group from 19—23 December 2011, please see http://www.delta-alfa.com/activities/43daoc-137-north-stradbroke-island/ .
The QSL card for this activity will be displayed soon on the DA-RC website.

Ripoff Report

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
David Kornblum is a whinny child attempting to do an adult's job of renting property for his family. Google his name and you will see other rip-off incidents from this guy. He threatens people with legal action and yet, knows nothing of the law. (His preferred forum. . . small claims court).
His achilles. . . he is not a registered business and is doing business under a fictitious business name (a tax avoidance scam) called C&S Enterprises 4, L.P. That company is not registered in California as a limited partnership nor has he filed a fictitious business name registration. Therefore, he cannot represent the company as a fiduciary since he, himself, is not in compliance with the law. For him to appear on behalf of a corporation would consititute his attempt at practicing law without a license since a corporation can only be represented by an attorney.
Also, be aware that you will likely not receive a signed copy of a lease contract should you not heed my warning not to do business with C&S Enterprises.
David himself is a pedantice little tick that is an embarrassment to the honorable trade of property management. Don't do business with these people.

C & S Enterprises Is Uninsured And A TOTAL SLUMLORD!
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 04, 2015POSTED: Wednesday, February 04, 2015
My father sued C&S Enterprises months ago. They were served and NEVER came to court. On top of that, the claimed they did not have insurance for our building so they just weren't going to pay him for the problem that caused his injury in his apartment! Umm....not having insurance is no excuse!
They duked it out for years before my father took them to small claims. They now owe him over $7k but will not pay AND they hide behind different addresses. When the court served them with the judgement they sent it back as "undeliverable"! When we called to get their exact address the RUDE gatekeeper secretary REFUSED to tell us their address, instead they hid behind a PO Box address and told him "if anyone comes to their office they will refuse to let them in!" Well I believe it with as many complaints as they have, they're probably terrified! Also, they want to make it impossible for people to sue them! Too bad for them I'm a paralegal and my law firm is on the case to recover what is owed from these scum.
The do NOT exist under their alias name on the Secretary of State website either. BEWARE! These people are SNAKES! They do not have insurance on their properties and will NEVER pay their debts! There will be a lean put on the property that the incident occured, I refuse to let this just go away. People need to be warned and these scum need to be taught a lesson. You've been warned!

AbstractVoice command will increase the effectiveness of future military aircraft by providing a fast, intuitive, hands-free user interface. For this technology to gain acceptance, systems must recognize speech quickly and accurately in an adverse environment.Human speech perception is strongly influenced by vision. When visual and auditory cues conflict, listeners' perceptions may be different than with either channel alone (the so-called McGurk effect). Researchers have added lipreading information to audio-based automatic recognizers and reported significant improvements in performance. However, lipreading has not been used in commercial recognizers because of two problems: first, it is difficult to interpret the video signal in real-time; and second, certain applications-such as recognition over telephone lines-preclude the use of video.The oxygen mask of the fighter cockpit simplifies the video-interpretation problem. Both an imager and an illuminator-to precisely control lighting-may be incorporated into the mask. Also, because the mask is head-mounted, alignment will be much less of a problem.In this Phase I effort we will incorporate lipreading into a conventional speech recognizer, and we will design and build an experimental mask-mounted imager. In Phase II, we will collect data with a prototype mask, and add lipreading to our own recognizer.

text: LINK Passenger fixes faulty airliner Holidaymakers avoided a long delay to their flight home when a passenger fixed a mechanical problem with their plane. Passengers on Thomas Cook flight TCX9641 from Menorca were told to expect an eight-hour wait while an engineer was flown out from the UK. One passenger then identified himself as a qualified aircraft engineer and offered to try to remedy the fault. He was successful, and the plane landed in Glasgow only 35 minutes late. A spokeswoman for Thomas Cook said the company followed strict procedures to ensure the man was qualified to work on the aircraft, a Boeing 757-200, during the incident on Saturday. The passenger worked for another airline, Thomsonfly, which has a reciprocal maintenance agreement with Thomas Cook. It was reassuring to know the person who had fixed it was still on the aeroplane Keith Lomax "When they announced there was a technical problem he came forward and said who he was, " she said. "We checked his licence and verified he was who he said he was, and he was able to fix the problem to avoid the delay. "We are very grateful that he was on the flight that day." Holidaymaker Keith Lomax, from Stirling, was travelling home from a week's break with his wife when the plane's captain announced the expected delay. "We were in the plane, ready for take-off, when he announced there was a technical problem and that an engineer might have to be flown out from Manchester to fix it," he said. "Then a stewardess told us there was an engineer on board and they were checking out to see if he could work on it. He was obviously successful. When he came back onto the plane there was a round of applause from the back of the aircraft. "It was reassuring to know the person who had fixed it was still on the aeroplane. What are the odds of something like that happening?"

Vince Cable used his CBI speech this week to tease his Tory coalition partners for their Micawber-ish economic policies in opposition. But Lib Dem manifesto policies are also suffering the familiar collision with reality in government.
Last week the business secretary officially eased himself off his attachment to a graduate tax. Courtesy of what may well have been another Tory leak of a Lib Dem policy retreat, Cable's colleague, Steve Webb, this week modified the party's commitment to a basic citizen's pension, an entitlement based on residence rather than national insurance contributions (Nics).
Readers of the Daily Mail were instead invited to relish the prospect of a universal basic pension of around £140 a week, double that for couples, compared with the current £97.65 for a single person, £132.60 per week if Gordon Brown's assorted credits and pensions guarantees are included. It is clearly a cousin of the citizen's pension. But is it still too good to be true?
Contrary to some reports, Nics contributions, not mere UK residence, will remain a core principle, as it has done since the welfare state was created in the 40s. Swept away would be chancellor Brown's elaborate pyramid of means-testing, intended to target most help to the poorest but disliked by Whitehall officials and coalition politicians as too complex.
In theory the new system would be simple. Voters would also know – as most do not until they are close to retirement – what to expect from the state when they retire, at the age of 66 for both men and women from 2020. Administrative savings would help finance the scheme. It would be better for many women. Simplicity might encourage higher take-up among the neediest, a persistent problem that Thora Hird's poster ads do not solve.
Webb, a professor of social policy in a previous life is well to the left of Nick Clegg who was once reportedly overheard saying "he's a problem, I can't stand the man". But the Prof knows his stuff as few MPs do. Labour respects his good intentions, while warning – as Rachel Reeves, the party's new spokesman, says – that everyone should study the details of next month's pensions green paper before cheering.
Three obvious problems arise. One is that £140 a week would represent a post-inflation cut on £132.60 when introduced in 2015. Second, as a group pensioners escaped lightly from last week's spending cuts. When families are being hit by a cut in universal child benefit and worse, why should the wrinklies, some of whom are far from poor, do better again under a "we're all in this together" regime?
That point is offset by problem number three: the likelihood that some better-off pensioners, current and especially future ones, will lose out in Webb's proposals, backed by his well-meaning boss, Iain Duncan Smith. Why? The leak emerged before details were finalised, but simplification includes what are known as second-tier pensions, the old contributory GRB, Serps and SSPs, second state pensions.
They sit between the basic state pension (BSP), unfunded, redistributive and universal, and third tier occupational pensions – modest for postmen, huge for bankers who enjoyed mind-boggling tax deduction perks until Labour, and now the coalition, both capped them for those earning over £150,000.
Dumping variable Serps and SSPs (linked to contributions) would also end the right of those with occupational or private pensions to contract out of Nics, further simplifying admin costs that are 10 times those of the BSP. But it would mean that over time new retirees would get less than they would now: £140 instead of £180 or more via Serps/SSP. As always, there are losers – and losers shout louder.

"Does everyone have a partner?" The teacher was walking round the deck.
I groaned. Of course I didn't. I watched her come slowly up the deck towards me.
"Shane, no partner?"
"Obviously." I muttered.
"Well, looks like you're going to spend the rest of the trip trying to find a partner or a three. How about trying to be nice. That might work."
"Ha ha."
"No I mean it. Get up, and find someone to group up with, or you'll be spending time with me for the whole of the trip."
I groaned again and got up, being careful to not sink through the bottom of the boat. I cast my eyes about looking for someone on their own. Maybe someone would offer to be my partner if they realised they hadn't got one. Maybe...

Well maintained park. Only 35 minutes from downtown Cincinnati but feels like it's a world away as it's a pretty setting up on a hill. At & t cell signal was weak to nonexistent. Received 17 over the air TV stations. Bathrooms were old but clean. Sites were somewhat shallow (many had to park sideways in front of their campers or elsewhere) and the sites were mostly unlevel. Sites had decent separation with the exception of those in the two circle loops which were too close together for our comfort. The camp store has the basics but Florence is only a 15 minute drive with all the stores you could ask for. A rather small bundle of firewood was $5 but just outside the park there's a guy selling firewood out of his driveway for the same price and a larger bundle. There's a nice playground in the campground and this place is loaded with families. Minature golf 0n site. As others have stated bring enough water hose because the water hookups are shared and might not be very close.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
Our second visit in six years. Beautiful park with a dense forest of pine and deciduous trees. Lots of privacy between sites. Also very quiet night and day. The location is perfect; right in the middle of one of the most scenic areas of the county with hundreds of miles of hiking and multi-use trails along with charming villages like Frankfort and an easy drive to Traverse City and all its attractions. The campground is a adjacent to a very pretty beach where the Platte River terminates in Lake Michigan. The beach was soft sand and the water surprisingly warm. One may also canoe on the Platte River. The campsites are electric only. This is no big deal except for the fact that the shower house next to our site #109 had only two showers. Some nights there were six or more people waiting their turn! There seemed to always be some sort of wait regardless of time of day. Perhaps the end of the token showers has its consequences...Regardless, the Park Service needs to add showers. The bathrooms and showers were usually OK, sometimes clean and sometimes seemed neglected for a day or so. We did not receive any TV stations over the air, and our At&t cell phone had weak signal strength. There is a convenience store right outside the campground for basic groceries; otherwise you can travel about 15 minutes to Buelah for a full scale grocery store.
Date of Stay: June, 2016
Pretty park, sites have nice separation but no privacy. Gravel pads with grass surface. We had a full hook up site (#60) which is really nice to have at a state park. It's also a back-in site with plenty of space behind the camper for kids to play. The "pullover" aka drive-through sites are cramped. Lots of tall, mature trees to provide shade. The surrounding hills make for pretty scenery. The park has a great swimming pool with a recently added splash pad and new, extensive playground equipment. The camp store has the basics along with a few extras like gem stone mining and inner tubes for sale to use on the adjacent river. The restrooms are typical state park- cement floors and cobwebs but the fixtures were clean and the soap dispenser was refilled. The shower houses could use some more frequent cleaning especially during heavy use. A couple of the shower houses also had laundry machines. Although the campground was full, we didn't feel overcrowded. There is an IGA in the nearby town along with a few fast food restaurants, Post Office, etc. Just outside the park are places you can rent canoes and an impressive looking high-ropes course. Our At&t phones had NO reception. We also had NO over the air TV stations and NO AM/FM radio stations. Total media blackout! The sites near the front of the park had weak signals. This is a pretty area of Ohio with rolling hills, dense forests, and picturesque farms along with a large Amish population.

Pride in ownership everywhere you look. The Quiqley family really knows how to run a campground. Bathrooms are spotless; every time I used the restroom it looked like I was the first one to use it after being cleaned. The facilities are exceptionally well maintained. Camp store is quite extensive. The kids had an absolute blast; between the visits with Yogi Bear and all sorts of activities and crafts, no one was ever bored. The staff was very friendly; special shout-out to Miss Cathi (from Texas) and the wonderful treatment she gave my kids. Would not hesitate to visit again even though it is a long drive from our home in Indiana. We spoke with several repeat / seasonal campers (btw, seasonal campsites were very well maintained, not dumpy looking like at some parks) who all voiced the same happiness with this place. It's no wonder they have so many repeat customers. If there was one improvement I could offer, it would be to expand the swimming pool and add a splash pad; word is the owner is considering doing something like that in the future.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
A little off the I-65 beaten path but wanted to check it out on our way home from Florida; thus we only stayed for one night. The campground store / office was closed at our arrival at sunset but no matter because our reservation ticket was attached to our site post. Site #20 was mostly level and long enough to stay coupled to our 34' TT. Loads of trees (some close to the road so it's a little tight to maneuver.) Very quiet at night with the exception of a distant train that we heard once for a couple minutes or so. The only lights were those from individual campsites and one at the shower house. The sites were nicely spaced, and while not very private there was plenty of space between them. There is a nearby town with plenty of grocery stores and places to eat. At & t cell service was strong; only received two over the air TV stations. We understand the state park has lots of activities including a golf course and hiking trails. We would like to visit again for several days. Not to end on a negative note but the dump station was pretty bad. Really tight and short exit; I could imagine the backups at check-out time.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
This is a resort park. Although it was quiet at night (they announce the quiet hours times each day) it's not quiet and peaceful during the day. It's jam-packed with activities for families. There are several playgrounds, jumping pillows, miniature golf, four swimming pools, water slides (for an additional fee) and a spectacular splash pad that will keep kids young and old (like 40 something old!) occupied for hours. Trash is picked up at your site three times a day; the camp store has a little of everything but a gallon of milk cost $5.99 so it can be pricey. The snack stand was OK but limited and it seemed like they kept running out of things, especially the ice cream flavors. The arcade was poor. Many of the games were old and out of order, and the elderly woman who staffed it actually argued with us when we lost two tokens in one of the machines. You can also rent pedal carts and pedal boats. The sites are nicely sized and although there's no real privacy, there's decent separation and numerous trees to afford some shade. The shower stalls were clean. Softened water would be nice (at this price) but not a big deal. Golf carts were numerous but at $55 a day with a two day minimum, we declined. We were in site 543 and although we could hear the interstate, it didn't keep us up at night. Perhaps those in a tent would experience otherwise. We will probably return next summer because the kids had a blast.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
It's the beach that makes this place special. Otherwise, it's an ordinary Michigan State Park. The beach is wide, clean, and expansive. The water temperature during our mid-July trip was 70 degrees. The one modern restroom / shower house was always busy so occasionally there was a brief wait for an open shower but they were nice: single / family occupancy with privacy. The facilities were reasonably clean but with the building being right off the beach, it would be nice if there was an additional cleaning around dinner time because for those of us that like to take pre-bed showers, there was some sand and mud (not a big deal though.) The park has (one) mile-long hiking trail and that's about it. There's a small playground near a second, public access beach but not one in the campground; perhaps one will be installed where the old shower house was, across from site #193. In addition to the old shower house being removed, so has the water spigot at that location so disregard any maps that show otherwise. Firewood can be purchased in the campground at $6 for a fair-sized bundle and there's also a vendor who makes evening visits that will deliver to your site larger bundles ("rick"?) for $30. There is a nice canopy of trees throughout. The thing that left us less than impressed was the site arrangement. True to Michigan State Park form, there's no real pad for your camper, so many people set up any which way, which resulted in less privacy for others and lent itself to large groups and parties, particularly on the weekends. It was pretty ridiculous on a Saturday night with tons of cars parked everywhere and loud noise until just after midnight. We wish Michigan State Parks would better identify where and how campers are supposed to be parked in order to prevent this. Otherwise, there tends to be some campers that are partially set up in other people's sites.

A good place for what we used it for- a home base to explore Cincinnati. The sites are clean and long enough for 40' + units. The full hookup sites offer no shade; the sewer connections are not flush to the ground and are near the front of the sites. This causes some logistical issues if your sewer hose isn't long enough and also tends to allow waste to accumulate in the hose until you "help it along" by repeatedly lifting and lowering your hose to overcome the raised sewer connection. Yes, we have hose ramps but for the distance we needed to traverse they were pointless. There's also no privacy between sites. On the positive, the sites are well maintained and kept clear of trash. As for the one shower house, it's obvious that it's inadequate with its three shower stalls for a full campground. Most times I visited there was some sort of wait. Not only that, but there is NO privacy in the changing area. The shower area could also use a little deep cleaning because although the showers themselves were clean, the walls and ceiling were growing what appeared to be some mold and mildew. As for the rest of the facility, there is a well equipped camp store that even has soft-serve ice cream and delivers pizza to your site! Firewood was a little pricey- 5 pieces for $4.69. There are nice paved and unpaved walking trails and a splash pad (for an extra fee) that the kids loved. You can also rent boats. There's even a farm with a small petting zoo and pony rides (also for an additional, modest fee.) Plenty of golfing in the area as well. We would return but this is not what we consider a destination park to enjoy the great outdoors. The campground just has a suburban feel rather than natural. For what we used it for, it was comfortable and worth the money.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
Very pretty park with large, mature trees and Spanish moss everywhere. The sites are nicely spread out although some are a little tight to get into due to narrow roads with trees right on the edge of the road. Nonetheless, we saw everything from a small tent to massive class A's so there's something for everyone. We had a full-hookup site. You select your site on arrival so when we arrived at 5 PM (check-in is 1 PM) only two sites out of a possible 17 were available (on a Wednesday!). We were guaranteed a site since we had a reservation. Our AT&T cell phone had a usable signal but sometimes it was weak. Cable TV is available for the full hookups only however we received 16 or so channels over the air. Each bathhouse has laundry facilities, and there is a nature center. There are also several walking trails. Savannah is a quick 15-minute drive while a Kroger supermarket is about 5 minutes away. There are also a few pizza places that deliver to the park. Firewood is a little pricey at $6 a bundle from the camp store, which has very limited provisions. There is an entrance gate that closes at 10 PM, however they give you a code to operate it after hours. Most of our stay, the weather was dry and cool so mosquitoes were nonexistent. Once it got a little more humid, they returned but not so bad that it spoiled our stay. The nearest beach on the ocean is Tybee Island which is about a 35 minute drive. This is a very nice facility and one we would not hesitate to return to.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
Lots of private, heavily shaded sites under a canopy of pine trees. Typical COE park where you're in nature rather than in a parking lot. Those on the lakefront have great views and a deck that overhangs a small ledge which makes for a great campsite. Site sizes vary so plan accordingly. The restrooms were dated but clean. There is also a laundry room at each restroom, which is a nice amenity. Although there was the occasional train whistle, it was over quickly and the campground was very quiet- no highway noise, etc. Downtown Atlanta is only 40 minutes away so this would be a great base for exploration of the city while still being able to enjoy the great outdoors. Our AT&T cell phones had strong signal and we received several TV channels over the air.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
Exactly what we expected. Convenient to the interstate (but traffic noise is an issue), small, tighly-packed sites (our 34' barely fit with the tow vehicle attached), ultra-clean bathrooms and a nicely stocked campstore. Staff was friendly and they pick up your trash during the day. The water pressure was very low and the cable TV signal got snowier as the evening progressed, as though there were too many users. The channel lineup was very good with nearly 30 channels offered. The Wifi was very slow. The workout room, while a nice concept, was useless as it contained equipment that looked like it was from a yard sale and not suitable to work out on! There is a very nice playground and pool area. There is also a nice laundry room. Our sewer connection was oddly placed at the front of our site so we just barely reached even with a 10' extension but most other sites seemed to have them in the right spot. This place is OK for an overnight but if they want higher reviews they need to offer more spacious sites and improve the amenities that they already offer. I feel that in spite of some of the positive things this KOA has, we overpaid due to the shortcomings.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
This is a very busy park during the summer. The beach is very nice with a concession stand and lifeguard protection. There are also miles of walking trails in and around the dunes. On a clear day you can see the skyline of Chicago across the lake. The nearby town of Chesterton has many stores and restaurants. There's also a train station at the entrance of the park (with freee parking) that has scheduled service to Chicago. As for the campground itself, the sites are all paved and many are long enough for large fifth wheels. The sites are electric only but there are several water spigots scattered around the park that you can fill up from if you run out. Just be sure to bring a water thief since there are no threads on those spigots. There are also two water fill stations (with threads) as you enter the campground. We were disappointed to see that many large trees have been cut down since our last visit. Perhaps the ash borer is to blame. As a result, many previously shady sites now receive a lot of sun and there's not much privacy between sites (although spacing is OK.) Since this is such a busy park, even on weekdays during the summer most sites are occupied so it has a parking lot look to it with the absence of some of the trees. If you like a social atmosphere with plenty of families, this is the place for you. If you want a more private, secluded, quiet environment, then I recommend the National campground just to the east. Although it has NO hookups, it is very pretty and in a dense forest with a modern restrooms and showers. As for this campground, the restrooms were cleaned daily (the family restroom was closed permanently which is irritating); there are two playgrounds; cell reception is good; TV reception is spotty; there is a campstore open until 9 or 10pm with the basics; sand is everywhere (you're around sand dunes after all); we never saw a Park Ranger drive through but most campers observed quiet hours beginning at 11pm. We would return because of the beach and the park is well run, it's just not the prettiest campground. With all the other families and two playgrounds, our kids had a blast.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Very well maintained campground. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean. There was decent separation between the sites as you would expect at an Indiana State Park. The sites are also paved and several are full hookup. The sites themselves were not as long as we'd like. Although they're all listed as 45' long, some seemed a little shorter and some were longer. Do your homework and you might be able to park in front of your rig rather than alongside it. There is no campstore but the town of Charlestown is nearby with groceries, gas, and places to buy firewood. With its proximity to Louisville, KY over the air TV provided many channels clearly and cell / data coverage was strong. The park itself is very large with some very pretty hiking trails that include streams, overlooks, and small waterfalls. We really enjoyed our stay here. One drawback is there is no beach or swimming pool or even a splash pad for the kids. Our kids were playing with a water spigot one day and the host asked them to stop. We understand why but wish there was something to cool off with on a hot day for the kids. Another drawback, as a previous reviewer stated, is the ticks. We found one or two on our kids every day. The grounds are mowed regularly so not sure what else can be done.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
This is our fourth visit over the past six years and I'm happy to say that it remains a great place to camp. The restrooms and showers are still very clean, the facilities are well maintained, and the beach is beautiful as ever. A few things to mention: The playground equipment was replaced with a crumby swing set and the Wi-Fi was virtually impossible to stay connected to or even find, and we were in a site right next to the restroom where presumably the Wi-Fi antenna was located. These "issues" were hardly that as we will surely return. If they could install sewer connections and concrete slabs for all the sites I would rate it a "10."
Date of Stay: October, 2013
An OK place to overnight during your travels. Just bring what you need because it's basically in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing else at this exit, not even a gas station. The sites are close together (think KOA-style) although there are several mature trees for some sites if you want shade. The site was fairly level. The sewer connection was near the front of the site so you may need a long sewer hose if you have a long camper. The cable TV was bad (only about five channels, very snowy and not high def.) Over the air we received about three stations for a total of about 10 channels. The camp store has extremely limited provisions, just a few cans of soda and that's about it. The owner was friendly enough. The playground is not much, basically a small swing set; however it's in a nice-sized field for the kids to run around in. I would have rated this park a little higher if the restrooms were cleaner. There are three individual rooms with a toilet, sink and shower in each. One room smelled like urine, and all three needed more aggressive cleaning. While the floors and countertops looked like they were cleaned regularly, the back of the entry doors in all three had what appeared to be years of crud that needed to be wiped off. Light fixtures and one countertop were broken. There was also only one hook to hang your things and it was on the other side of the wall alongside the toilet. Basically, it's time for the restrooms to be redone. Also, the sites looked like they could use a little sprucing up. There was dog waste in a couple of spots in our site, the utility pole light was burned out, and some of the sites had markers where the numbers were missing or falling off. I don't mean to make this place sound terrible, because it's not. It's just not as nice as many of the other places we've stayed at. For an overnight it's fine.

Nieneve: The JoustMature
Nieneve and her brother had been sitting in those seats since the beginning of the joust, and both were bored. Nieneve had been looking out for Leopold since she had heard of his 'illness'; she hoped that this was a sign that he had accepted her challenge and that he was taking part. So far she had not seen him, and now another pair of knights were lined up, neither of them high enough in status to be someone Leopold would choose to disguise himself as.
"This is excruciating." Her brother groaned as the announcement began to introduce the competitors.
"Calm yourself brother. I told you the Prince will be taking part."
"And what do I care for the Prince?"
"If I spot him and give him my token, he will know I recognise him in disguise. It will make him think I care. Or that I'm attracted to him."
"And? You think I care? As long as you marry him and give him what he needs I don't care whether he thinks you love him or not."
"Don't caution me sister, I hate having to wait."
"The wedding is set for a month from now brother. A month is all you will have to wait."
"Wrong. I have to wait until you have fulfilled your role."
"Do not worry. I know. Nothing will stop this."
"Good. They are starting. Is one of these your Prince?" Nieneve looked back to the arena and saw the first collide. One man was knocked clean off his horse, an immediate win for the other competitor. "Let us hope that is not the Prince." He chuckled as the man was dragged, unconscious, from the floor.
"No. But that may be." Nieneve leaned on the side of the seats, looking at the knight who had unseated the other rider. It had been the most impressive act of the whole tournament so far, and to say that he was supposed to be a lower knight meant that he probably should not be skilled enough to do that. The Prince might have been bragging, but she supposed that given the opportunity to train as he had, he might actually be as good as he had implied.
"You are sure?" Her brother seemed more interested in her plan now she had explained it to him.
"Not completely. But he may give some sign. Let us watch his matches carefully."
Have you seen another who may be him?"
"Not so far. But they have only been low knights. That is what makes him different."
"Excellent. I trained you well."
Nieneve smiled at her brother who was grinning. She was used to his attitude towards her when she did something to please him; it tended to be about his own accomplishments.
For the next half an hour they watched the jousting and saw that the winner of that bout, 'Arfur Swornsby', had continued to win and climb higher up the board. Nieneve was now convinced that he was the Prince; the last match was announced and the last competitors were riding around the arena, accepting tokens. As 'Arfur' rode near, Nieneve stood, holding out her handkerchief. He stopped and held out his hand to accept it.
"For the knight worthy of royal celebration." She smiled. His hand stilled briefly before he took the handkerchief from her.
"Thank you, my lady. I shall win this tournament for you."
"Thank you. Good luck sir knight. Do not let my token be disgraced."
"Of course Lady Nieneve."
He rode off then and she sat back, smiling.
"Him?" Her brother asked.
The horn blew, and the riders rode to their positions to start the joust. Horses snickered, kicking the dust up in to the air with their hooves. The competitors tightened their grips on the reigns of their steeds, and the servants passed them their lances. A flag master marched to the centre of the arena and stood, patiently, waiting until both knights were ready. They raised their lances sharply, as a signal that they were, and then the flagmaster flapped the flag once before running out of the way. The horses reared and they were off. Galloping towards each other, bringing their lances down to point at each other, ready to unseat a rider if the opportunity presented itself. Nieneve found herself drawn in; she leant forward anxiously watching the Prince as he got his lance in to the holder. Then, with a splintering crunch, the lances hit, both of them, each in to the breast plate of the opponent. Both riders continued to ride to the end, unharmed. Their broken lances were tossed to the side and their servants ran to present them with new ones. Both competitors seemed agitated, as if they had expected to cause more damage. They both yelled at their servants, hurrying them with wild gestures. Then it all began again. This time, the Prince hit his opponent in the head, earning him two points, while the other knight was so shocked at the blow that he was thrown off a hit. The Prince rode away untouched.
"Another shot like that and he will win." Nieneve heard a noble man comment behind her. "As long as Lothick doesn't unhorse him."
Now Nieneve grasped the edge of her seat and leaned forward once more, anxious to see whether the winner would be the Prince. Part of her wished that he would lose, and be humiliated. The other part realised that he would more than likely blame her for suggesting he entered, and that would mean he might cause problems at the thought of their marriage. That would mess with her brother's plans.
The riders started forward, their lances already being lowered in to the harness. She watched with bated breath as the lances hit. The opponent, Lothick, took a hit to the chest and looked winded. The Prince took a hit to the head and rolled back a little on to his horse. The horse had reached the end of the run before he sat up, shaking his head slightly. He was alright. Nieneve let out a breath she didn't realise she had been holding and focussed on keeping her composure. The danger of him losing was closer now. The riders returned to their position, ready with another lance. They rode towards each other, clearly set on finishing this once and for all. The Prince's lance hit Lothick squarely in the middle, knocking him back so that he rolled from his horse on to the ground, and was then pulled along by his stirrups for a while. Nieneve leapt to her feet with the rest of the crowd and cheered the Prince, who had won. He cantered round and she noticed that the last lance had dented his breastplate. Something like that would have winded him, perhaps even bruised him badly. Nieneve cheered, both for his win and the smug feeling she had that being winded might have knocked some of the bravado out of him.
Vyper was to present the knights with their winnings, and he strode towards her.
"Come Lady Nieneve, you may help present the knights with their trophies."
She smiled graciously and followed him down. The knights who had won titles lined up and Vyper began with the lowest honour. She passed the man a small bag of gold and congratulated him.
The runner up graciously accepted his reward and thanked her for her concern when she mentioned that she hoped he had not been injured in his fall. Then they approached the winner.
"Here is the winner of our match! Take off your helmet so that the city may know your face Arfur of House Swornsby." The man reached up and removed his helmet. The crowd gasped as the head of the Prince emerged from the helmet. Nieneve smiled at him, but Vyper was first startled and then furious beside her. He covered it hurriedly, but she imagined that the Prince would be in serious trouble later.
"I am Prince Leopold, your tournament champion!" He announced, raising his helmet to the sky. The crowd roared in approval and Nieneve stepped forward to present him with the gold horse that was his prize.
"Congratulations your highness." She smiled as though she were proud of him. He bowed, accepting the prize.
"My pleasure. Here is your token. I stayed true to my word."
"Thank you. But you may keep it as a reminder of this day, and that your betrothed believed in you and your ability." She replied, curtseying to him.
"Thank you my lady." He paused slightly before pocketing the handkerchief and bowing in return.
"The tournament is over!" Vyper called, and then motioned to his nephew to follow him from the field. Nieneve moved aside so he could and waited till they had gone before glancing up at her brother in the stands and giving him a slight nod and smile to let him know that everything was going according to plan.

This apartment must be one of the best in Nazare from both its quality and location. It has views across the harbour on one side and views up to Sitio on the other. Everything in the apartment works and is clean. It has 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen (incl. washing machine), and the large veranda gets the full sun in the afternoon. There is the bonus of a good pool and large sun area on the roof - this is a rarity in Nazare. You will also have use of reserved underground car parking space (again, a valuable asset so close to the town) - but see recommendation below. The property is a short walk (max 5 mins) to the centre of the old town which has a couple of small supermarkets for all your needs and a very large under-cover market for most fresh food every morning (including Sunday). Nazare doesn't have a single fast food outlet or coffee chain, and is so much the better for it. Just local restaurants, pastelaries, gelataries, and cafes, run by local people. Apart from the Portuguese families enjoying their holiday, it's a well know destination for elderly and discerning French tourists - that says it all. No fat, tattooed, football-shirted louts to be seen anywhere.
We have stayed in the apartment twice and didn't bother with a rental car the second time as it isn't needed whilst there. There is a regular and cheap air conditioned coach from Lisbon many times a day, with bookable seats - takes 2 hours from Lisbon bus station. Stay, enjoy, relax, drink good (cheap) coffee, and eat excellent (cheap) local food. Best to avoid August as it's very hot, and crowded with the Portuguese enjoying themselves.
The apartment does not have wifi and the TV gets just the standard few Portuguese terrestrial channels (you'll never complain about the BBC again). If you really can't live without full wifi, buy a "MiFi" or sim/dongle to cover your stay (avoid data roaming on your own phone outside your own country). The tourist office in the market building has free wifi access if you just need to check emails.
The apartment is ideally located just a few quiet blocks from the main square, where people gather to enjoy local life, the spectacular beach and the funicular up to Sitio. The apartment is modern and thoroughly outfitted, the balcony was great for morning coffee and pao bijou from local pastelarias spacious for four and clean. Beds are firm and comfortable, bathrooms work great; washing machine too. Security is good; parking in basement is very convenient. We are seriously thinking of staying here again because the town has such a wonderful vibe and there is good access to Obidos, Coimbra and even Porto, which is just over 2 hours away on very good highways.
This is one of the best apartments you are going to find near the town centre. Underground parking, pool on the roof and sea views from the balcony, yet away from the bustle and noise of the sea front. The apartment is modern and well equipped and everything was functioning as it should. We went just out of season and nowhere was crowded. It's a short walk to the centre of Nazare and to the bottom of the funicular to Sitio (well worth a visit). Even a shorter walk to the steep path up to Sitio, for those who want the exercise. Sun hits the balcony from mid afternoon, but you can always go up on the extensive roof area to get the sun all day. Be warned that you are on the Atlantic coast so sea cloud and mist can come in and can take a while to clear in the morning. The apartment's TV gets just local channels and there is no WiFi. Bring some DVDs and leave them for the next guest - as others have done. If you are driving you must ensure you get written instructions on how to get there as you'll never find it otherwise. The instructions we were given were easy to follow, but there is only one route through the town to the (one-way) road the apartment is on and you need to negotiate two fairly narrow passages between houses. You do not need to use the car when there as a reasonable town-centre supermarket and a large covered market are a walk away. Be warned that Nazare is hilly and the apartment complex is up a steep road. Sorry, this town is not really the place to come if you are disabled or have trouble walking. In summary, Nazare is definitely a place to visit - cheap, friendly and, as yet, unspoilt by inappropriate developments - it's miles better than the Algarve in that respect. Consider getting the (cheap) bus from Lisbon rather than hire a car and then hardly using it for your stay.
Didn't expect such hot weather in June.. but the season was warming as we arrived and the beach just got livelier and livelier.
A holiday in this apartment is special, because the home has personality and is truly welcoming, and everything is walkable. Grilled fish, wild woodland cycles, crashing waves to swallow you and refresh, the clearest Atlantic air, and history within a drive, although we never take a car when we come as Nazare is all about CHILL! Thank you again. Wonderful. New hotels keep popping up, but we will never go anywhere else. Love it.
Very relaxing as usual. Some nice new touches to the apartment and roof terrace. We enjoyed golf at Royal Obidos, the town market in Caldas da Rainah, the Festival of the Sea at Nazare. Can't wait to spend time here again next year.
The Apartment - So modern, tasteful, and ideal location. Just a quiet walk from the cobbled streets of the Old Centre, and all of 10 minutes from the beach itself. A secure garage for parking beneath, and a Pool and Sun Terrace up on the roof. Owners have put real care into the apartment, with local art, and a real sense of comfort. The views from the terrace take in the whole bay of Nazare. Birds chatter at sunset as you eat together outside always hearing the sound of the strong Atlantic waves.
The Location - Loved it. Down the hill is for the markets and restaurants and life of Nazare, but up the street to the right is a short walk to the hill climb, where the spectacular views can be enjoyed. We went daily, to be reinvigorated by the fresh air and bright Spring skies. Sitio awaits you above with its history, shops, lunch destinations, and then secluded beaches down the hill beyond the other side, where the dense pine forests enclose the shoreline.
A wonderful, memorable, relaxing stay. Fresh fish bought from the covered market daily, and vino verde from the local vendors. Exercise (we rented bikes), and enjoyment, and always knowing we had the beautiful apartment to return to after a day's adventure.
Worth noting, we regularly visit in Spring, and this was an April fortnight. Weather was hot, bright and clear, but the Atlantic wind can chill if caught in the shade, so pick a sheltered spot. Great to see the town more quiet and tranquil and the locals very willing to engage with you.
We're coming back!
Nazare is one of the top tourist locations in the silver coast of Portugal. It is a bustling fishing town with plenty to see and do. The long promenade along the sandy beach stretches over 1km and is dotted with many authentic bars, cafes and restaurants as well as a variety of boutique shops selling crystals, lace and other local merchandise. There is also a great night-life for those who are looking for fun and excitement. Nazare can also be enjoyed by those looking to experience culture and the traditional Portuguese way of life plus visit some of the best cultural site in Portugal, including Alcobaca monastery, Batalha and Fatima cathedrals and the medieval castle of Obidos.

WINDHAM, Vt. (AP) - A developer says it may take two to three years to collect enough data from several wind test towers to determine the future of a commercial project in Vermont.
The towers were built by Spanish Energy conglomerate Iberdrola Renewables, which just decided to abandon a proposal for a 23-turbine wind farm in central New Hampshire. Developers there cited an unfavorable political and regulatory climate in the state.
Vermont Public Radio reports the towers in the Vermont towns of Windham and Grafton were put up last spring. The developer, Meadowsend Timberland Limited of New London, New Hampshire, owns most of the land where Sheffield Wind was built in 2011.
Meadowsend co-owner Jamey French told residents it will likely take two or three years to make a final decision.
