So sei es. Golf, Strand, gekühlt oder Lively dieser Ort ist hervorragend gelegen und bietet für jeden etwas.

We were happy with the property and the owner was very helpful.it is a 8min walk to a wide open beach.there are many facilities cliseby and a big mercadona 5mins in the car.The pool is at the doorstep and although we didnt use the roof terrace it must be nice in the summer.The double bed mattress needs an upgrade.
The description of this lovely Casa and place is very accurate. A beautiful holiday home that is within walking distance of beach and cafes. An excellent bus service.
The villa was clean, modern with everything you need. If you like a quiet, relaxed holiday, I highly recommend October, it was lovely and quiet, the beach was empty. The urbanization is gated so you feel very safe and it was lovely and quiet. I will be booking again.
Lovely apartment with roof to sit out on in the evening. It has a good coffee machine, working tv with usb inputs and even a pizza cutter. Good sized rooms and nearby swimming pools and shops. The bus from the airport stops just around the corner. We have stayed in a few places and this place is one of the best.
The duplex is located in an urbanization at the edge of Garrucha. Easy to reach (by car) and just a 10 minutes walk from a lovely beach. The house itself is equipped with all facilities we need on a holiday, like an oven, microwave and a modern coffee machine (Dolce Gusto). The beds were not perfect but good, but I actually never had really good beds in a holiday home. We did have to search for the extra linen (as we needed the spare bed for a third child).
What really amazed us was the rooftop terrace. It was recently covered with an artificial grass turf and this gives the terrace a luxurious look. I think most of the time we spent at the house was on the terrace, as it was cool in the morning and, provided you make sure there is enough shade, it was relaxing to spend siestas on the roof. Our evenings ended on the terrace, again, enjoying some nice wines.
We did not make use of the BBQ but it was there if you needed it.
The urbanization boasts two swimming pools, both with a life guard. Did not make use of it myself, but the kids really enjoyed it. The pools are fenced so no unwelcome visitors may enter and in addition it can keep out smaller children as the gate is only opening with an magnetic key.
The beach, as mentioned before on a walking distance, is a good one. I have visited many a beach in my life and this one I would recommend. Stretching for several miles and wide enough it was never really crowded. Some nice scenery with mountains left and right of the beach, nice waves provided some action if you want to swim. Furthermore there is a nice boulevard with more than enough palm trees to bring that real summer holiday feeling, in addition to the artificial (flat) 'dunes', also with grouped palm trees.
Supermarkets are only a couple minutes drive (Mercadona) and if you need just a couple of items you can also visit the small grocery store next to the urbanization. Can also recommend the Churrios stand at the main road near the urbanization if you want some really good (and cheap!) churrios.
There are enough places to visit in the region if you don't mind a good drive. We visited, among others, Murcia, a regional park with hiking routes in the Murcia area, a waterfall, Cartagena and Almeria. And there is more to discover yet, so James and Sharon, we might be back to enjoy another holiday in your great Casa Blanca! Thanks!
The listing description was spot on. It was easy to find, the layout was comfortable, clean and well maintained, very much a space that lent itself to a relaxing and enjoyable time. And, should you need them it has swimming pools, bars, restaurants and shops all close to hand. Plus, the owners are pretty good at communications if you have any queries / concerns and sorting.
In summary a great place to chill and I look forward to visiting again soon. It is definitely a place I would recommend to family and friends.
A bit more detail:
All facilities; swimming pools, the beach, restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance (the furthest being no more than a 10 minute walk away, maybe 15 minutes if you're meandering). The larger swimming pool is great for an energetic swim and the smaller pools (2 minutes walk away) has walk in steps making it easy for those less steady on their feet or needing assistance.
Wifi facilities were available at local bars and restaurants. but is now installed at the villa, an excellent additional facility.
Should you get bored with the community near Casa Blanca there is the nearby town of Garrucha (20-25 minute promenade walk or 5 minute drive). This town offers a greater selection of shops, restaurants and supermarkets and at least one market day (Friday). Or, a 10 minute drive away is Vera with similar additional facilities and an excellent restaurant for a special evening 'Juan Morreno' providing a good selection of traditional Spanish flavours with a modern twist. It was pricier, at around 20-30€ per head (two courses and wine) compared to around 15€ (or less) when eating out near Casa Blanca (I can recommend the Laguna restaurant looking out over the beach) or those in Garrucha.
The only slight negative is that I would classify it as a four person villa with some extra space / facilities for two. This is because the last two people have to use the lounge for sleeping. But hey, if the're family or friends it's no big deal.
Anyhow, all I can say to complete this review is, don't take my word for it, book yourself in and make your own mind up on whether or not it is a fab place to visit.
a wonderful week in an area of. Spain. I hadn't been to before and absolutely
loved it. Have family in Gibraltar and Valencia and as such had never been to
costa Almeria before! Wher we stayed was very spanish and had markets on nearly
every day ( you need a car or have to take a bus to some of these ) and if like
me you love a good market you won't be disappointed.
The house itself was
perfect for us and my partner made good use of the pool every morning. The only
minor fault really is it could do with a bigger TV although because we didn't
use the TV much it forced us to go out and as a result we found a sports bar on
the beach front ( again i can't remember the name sorry ) but he got to see his
beloved Newcastle United and I enjoyed some more wine and beach fun.
And what
a beach, beautiful flat sandy beach, surprisingly unpopulated Although it was
February I expect it will be a lot more crowded in the summer months.
food everywhere we ate was really really good and I don't know if is because of
the time of year we went but it seemed to me to be a lot cheaper than costa del
sol, I will just have to go back in the summer and check it out ( ANY EXCUSE ) ,
Some bars still hold onto the traditional Spanish custom of FREE TAPAS IF
YOU ARE ORDERING DRINKS. One afternoon we took a drive to Almerimar to meet some
friends who have a place there and we sat for several hours in a lovely corner
bar overlooking the. Marina ( can't remember the name sorry ) I think it had a
blue and white awning, anyway a handful of beers each and a few bottles of wine
, we must have had 3 or 4 drinks each minimum ( who's counting ) a multitude of
different tapas chosen from the menu and WAIT FOR IT , the bill didn't even come
to 10 euros a head.
Mitch who met us was very welcoming and helped us source
a key for the pool after our one was playing up a bit on one of the days.
Look forward to returning here next summer.

I think the easiest way would be to install BitTorrent4 in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/BitTorrent4, so you don't need to conflict against the older package. > Another package, gnome-btdownload, requires bittorrent 3.

Removing the task package can and will cause trouble with upgrading to the next version of ubuntu. I think the easiest solution would be to remove the conflict, and install the 2 packages in paralell. If this should not be feasible, then its getting more nasty: you could perhaps provide an updated gnome-btdownload package, which ideally would work with bittorrent4, or (least ideally) be empty, and would just satisfy the ubuntu-desktop dependencies.

Monday marked the five-year anniversary of the plane crash that killed Stewart and five others.
Disney was the last tournament he played.
Three days after he missed the cut by one shot, Stewart boarded a private plane for a meeting on a golf course project in Dallas and then to play the Tour Championship in Houston. The plane lost cabin pressure and flew uncontrolled across the country until it ran out of fuel and plunged into a field in South Dakota.
Azinger and Stewart were partners for the first two pro-am rounds at Disney that year. Even though he shot 71-71, Stewart managed to make headlines by speaking in a mock Chinese accent on ESPN during a rain delay to retaliate for comments British golf analyst Peter Alliss had made about the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
"I watched him do it," Azinger said, smiling and shaking his head. "He comes over to me and says, 'Hey, that was pretty funny, huh?' I told him, 'Congratulations, Payne. You just insulted about 3 billion people.' "
Azinger remembers the loose lips, the pranks, the jabs. He remembers their favorite fishing spot behind the fifth hole on the Magnolia course, where they once came across a rattlesnake on a dirt path and hit 1-irons at it. Ask him about the Ryder Cup, and Azinger talks about the music Stewart brought: "Born in the USA" blared down the hallways of the hotel.
Tom Lehman remembers, too.
He delivered a powerful tribute to Stewart during a chilling ceremony before the start of the '99 Tour Championship, where an eerie fog shrouded the first fairway as players sat in shock. Lehman tries to have dinner with Stewart's widow, Tracey, every time he comes to Orlando for Bay Hill or Disney.
"I think about Payne fairly frequently," Lehman said. "It could be anything — highlights of a golf tournament, a guy in knickers, thinking about the Ryder Cup, coming to Orlando, getting on a private jet. You don't want to forget. I don't know if you want to dwell on what happened five years ago, but you don't want to forget."
Anyone who goes in the locker room at Disney cannot forget Stewart.
Past champions have their own row of lockers. Stewart's locker has a glass door to show its contents — a pair of red plus-fours on a hanger, a white shirt with his silhouette stitched in navy blue. A white tam-o'-shanter cap is on a hook above white shoes and a worn glove. A box of golf balls is on the top shelf.
One look at the balls — a black box of Titleist Tour Prestige, a wound golf ball now obsolete — was a reminder of how long ago it seems that the reigning U.S. Open champion died.
Even more startling was to see Stewart's son on the practice range early last week. Aaron is 15, a sophomore on the junior varsity golf team at Olympia High in Orlando.
"He's a big boy now," Azinger said. "He's got a nice swing — a two-plane swing, just like his daddy."
On Sunday, some volunteers wore a picture of Stewart around their necks, urging fans not to forget.
But there was another part of Disney that made Azinger think of his dear friend.
This usually is the time when the PGA of America interviews candidates for Ryder Cup captain. Among those under consideration are Azinger, Lehman, Mark O'Meara, Fred Couples, perhaps even Larry Nelson.
The Ryder Cup was not even mentioned last week. The PGA of America is huddled at headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens, trying to figure out who should get the job.
"They're in a jam, because Payne Stewart would be the logical choice," Azinger said. "And now, they don't know what to do. He wanted to be the captain in Ireland. He had already looked that far out. Unfortunately, he isn't here."
Azinger said he already has talked to PGA president M.G. Orender, but he doesn't want to be captain in 2006. He also said Tracey Stewart wanted to see Azinger as captain in Ireland, to take over for her husband.
"I'm just not quite ready to do it," Azinger said.
Stewart epitomized the Ryder Cup. He was intense, patriotic, never lacking in sportsmanship. In his last match in 1999, Stewart conceded a birdie putt to Colin Montgomerie to spare the Scotsman from further heckling at Brookline.
He was a regular in Ireland before the British Open, endearing himself on the golf course and in pubs alike. Stewart would have been the logical choice for the '06 matches on the Emerald Isle.
He would have been the only choice.
"A no-brainer," Lehman said.
Hal Sutton was walking down his hallway this summer when he saw a framed picture from the '99 Ryder Cup. There was Stewart in the middle of the celebration, spraying champagne from the balcony of The Country Club after a stunning U.S. comeback.
Sutton brought the picture to Oakland Hills and hung it in the team room.
"That picture showed passion. It showed that he cared," Sutton said. "I wanted to remember him in that way."
Stewart left memories for everyone.
He also left the PGA of America without a simple choice for Ryder Cup captain.

The Globe's weekly Business School news roundup
Moneyball, the 2011 Brad Pitt movie, tells the story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane who, with a low budget for salaries, turned baseball upside-down by analyzing data to identify players who could help his team without breaking the bank.
In a similar vein, a new Master of Science in Business Analytics at York University's Schulich School of Business aims to equip graduates with the skills to crunch lots of data and integrate the information to enhance a company's competitive advantage.
"Anywhere you have data about your products, customers and suppliers, you can apply these skills," says Schulich associate professor Murat Kristal, director of the new graduate program, believed to be the only one in Canada.
Even before he knows who will be in the first class this September – the application deadline is imminent – Prof. Kristal says employers are already clamouring for graduates who can sift through data and create value for the bottom line.
For instance, he cites the challenge faced by cell phone companies seeking to retain customers. "A company has your data but may not know your actual needs and by the time you call [to cancel]it is too late for them," he says. "So they need to analyze the data to figure out if you make long-distance calls, use messenger services or write e-mails … and identify a specific product for your needs at the right price point."
During the 12-month graduate program, students spend the first two terms in class and devote the final term to a major research project that could include an option to work on a real-world problem for a company (and potential employer). The inaugural class will be limited to five or so students with a background in engineering, computer skill or math.
The new program, with expected tuition of about $40,000, joins a growing stable of specialty graduate-level offerings at Schulich. In September, 2013, the school plans to add a Master of Science in accounting.
New dean at UVic's Gustavson
After a 10-year run as dean of the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria, Ali Dastmalchian steps down later this month with an enviable record: a $10-million gift to name the school; growth in undergraduate and graduate enrolment and programs; and academic recognition by international accrediting agencies.
Dean Dastmalchian is passing the baton to his colleague, Saul Klein, currently Landsdowne Professor of International Business and director of the school's executive education program.
Dr. Klein, whose five-year term begins July 1, says he plans to build on the "incredible platform" laid by his predecessor. "A lot of the building blocks are in place," says the 53-year-old native of Zimbabwe. "My objective is to build on those developments further and work hard on the external side to enhance the visibility of the school, build its reputation and build stronger corporate connections."
With co-op education work terms as part of the academic program and executive education for working professionals, the Victoria-based school already has a network of industry contacts. Dr. Klein sees the potential to deepen relationships at every level of the corporation, including internationally.
"Business schools have tended to look at corporate relationships in too compartmentalized a way when there is an opportunity to develop broader-based partnerships that have multiple components to them," he says.
Dr. Klein, who previously taught in South Africa, Singapore and the United States, is a strong proponent of the school's well-established international focus. The school has recruited a diverse faculty and most of its 1,100 undergraduate and graduate students take advantage of semester-long academic exchanges (through agreements in 40 countries) or study-abroad experiences of shorter duration.
Last month, on behalf of the university, Dr. Klein and Dean Dastmalchian signed agreements with the Republic of Tunisia, birthplace of the Arab Spring, for academic exchanges and leadership assistance in developing the new government's administrative capacity.
"Coming out of a dictatorship, they need a civil service to focus on delivering more value to their citizens," says Dr. Klein, who sees opportunities for collaboration between UVic's business and public administration faculties and their counterparts in Tunis.
He says the Tunisia agreement, indicative of the school's efforts to establish a presence in the Middle East, North Africa and South America, "builds on the things we are good at doing, takes us outside the local Victoria market and leverages the things we have got going here."
With Dean Dastmalchian about to leave on sabbatical (he returns to the faculty next year), Dr. Klein is busy preparing to take the reins in several weeks.
Heading east
Thomas Scott has been named director of the School of Accounting and Finance at the University of Waterloo, effective July 1. He is currently vice-dean and professor of accounting at the University of Alberta's School of Business.

Leung to press demands to Aquino at Apec summit
Hong Kong group is assured Leung will push the Philippine leader to address its many demands
Related topics
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying will press the demands of survivors and relatives of victims of the Manila hostage crisis on Philippine President Benigno Aquino at an international summit next month.
Survivors and family members have been fighting for justice in the two years since seven Hong Kong tourists and their guide were shot dead by sacked policeman Rolando Mendoza.
They were yesterday promised action at a meeting with Secretary for Security Lai Tung-kwok and Office of the Chief Executive director Edward Yau Teng-wah.
Tse Chi-hang, younger brother of slain tour guide Masa Tse Ting-chunn, said Lai also promised to designate an official from the Security Bureau to follow up on demands for an apology from the Philippine government as well as compensation, accountability for the Philippine officials involved and improved measures to protect tourists.
"It is really a tough time for us in these two years," said Tse. "It is painful for us to follow up the incidents by ourselves. We really hope the government, including the chief executive, can have something concrete done for us,"
Leung will invite Aquino for bilateral talks during the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation Summit in Vladivostok, Russia on September 7 and 8 and Yau promised that Leung would raise the group's demands, Tse said.
But Tse said he was disappointed that Yau had not given a concrete promise that Leung would meet the survivors and relatives in person after the Apec summit. The group had invited Leung to yesterday's meeting, which came a day after the second anniversary of the bus siege, but Yau and Lai attended instead.
Leung said at earlier that he cared very much about the incident. Lai admitted progress with Manila had been slow, but the government was continuing to follow up on the situation.
Survivor Lee Ying-chuen, who was also at the meeting, said Lai had told them that the government had contacted the Foreign Ministry in Beijing four times in the past 12 months about the case, although the last contact was in September, after Premier Wen Jiabo told Aquino face-to-face to properly handle the aftermath of the siege and the botched rescue attempt, in which Mendoza was killed.
On the day the siege unfolded, Leung's predecessor Donald Tsang Yam-kuen tried to reach Aquino by phone twice to express his concerns, but Aquino's aide did not pass on his messages.

This game sucks
1. Pity parts are worse than ever before and based also on "rank" or experience now. I have played for three weeks now and average 0-1 Molotovs or melee weapons per room while being bombarded, from the beginning, by a team with 4 members full of all of the above and bombs. We have moved to 6-7 boxes with 1 craftable item. It's a joke. You are trying to force close games instead of allowing competition to play itself out. We used to use crafter and explosion to counter this but...
2. You've changed these two and now crafters get nothing. Can't even craft 2 gifts in a game or kill anyone with the occasional bomb or Molotov I do get.
3. You've nerfed the semi and revolver so much that I can't keep enough ammo to even consider killing with them.
4. Matchmaking is awful. I play with single digit teammates EVERY SINGLE MATCH. I'm a level 180 something.
5. This game is about surviving an apocalypse. At what point did someone decide rewarding death with extra parts is a good idea. Maybe that is the #1 issue. How do you take a survival game, based on strategy, scarcity, and resourcefulness, and turn it into a **bleep** storm by passing out free bombs, machetes, molotovs, etc. to the people who ARE NOT USING THEIRS RIGHT?
These are all facts. Now theory on things I've noticed:
When you are a higher level, your guns require much more damage to get downs. For 3 weeks the semi and revolver have required 5-7 shots, 3 headshots, for downs when we are playing low level players, who most the time simply started a new account. I know this to be true because I started a second account to test theories, and suddenly received mass amounts of parts per bin and my guns worked far better, against a team with 4 180+ team members. They were **bleep** and ironically complaining about all the stated issues above. When I told them of my experiment and that I knew we had extra parts and damage, they agreed that that's how they felt. We didn't just beat them. We routed them 14-0 final.
This game is broken and all for the sake of a vocal minority who will all likely switch to call of duty in November while I was willing to play this for a long, long time.
Also, before you assume I suck or I'm not winning, that's not the case. We still won 80% of the time, but having to struggle against a stacked deck.
PS three games tonight on the new account and my buddy is using his high level account. I am quadrupling his parts, kills, and crafted items. He's a 3.2 KDR and I'm a 3.62.
It's broken. ND please address these issues. I just don't have fun anymore.
Re: This game sucks
I think you're just trying to blame the devs for not having people to play with. Where as the reality for me is that I've made at least 15 friends in LOU multiplayer.
I average 1-2 melee weapons a game, and I use brawler.
I am able to craft a melee weapon, shiv, and 2 smoke bombs, and 2 gifts, within the first 1:30 of the game. So the only problems you have there are your own.
Also, the revolver is amazing and super reliable. Don't know what you're talking about there. Stopped reading because most your points are just about you not being a good player.
Re: This game sucks
nerfed revolver?
5-7 shots to down?
Re: This game sucks
Re: This game sucks
The revolver WAS by far my favorite weapon, before I started seeing pity damage. I have 2-3 of my classes revolver only, no primary. But for 3 weeks it's been awful even. And YES with 5-7 shots late in games when we are winning, even by just a little.

This is 100% inaccurate.
sorry buddy, but games don't work like that, your logic is completely wrong and hilarious to read.
Even the extra parts and stuff given out is only given to people who do bad in the games not low levels.

The Gathering Plymouth 5th-7th May 2017 from Liz Berg
I am writing this with my eyes propped open having stared at the screen for hours and with one spreadsheet after another, copied, pasted, cells formatted and everyone driven mad with incessant emails. Why? Because this year The Gathering is coming to Plymouth and with the help of a plethora of storytellers and massive support from Plymouth University, it looks like being a FANTASTIC event – one that no-one will want to miss.
This year Devon and Cornwall get to showcase their storytellers.
This year the phoenix rises on the theme Change and Exploration.
It kicks off with Devon & Cornwall tellers on Friday night followed by the amazing Klezbians, Cornwall's finest klezmer/gypsy band.
Taking this theme to heart there are workshops throughout Saturday and Sunday that stretch storytelling in all different but delicious byways: navigating the digital quagmire, co-telling & collaborations, moving bodies, cultural diversity through storytelling, the music in the words, using textiles in storytelling, performances throughout the day and into the evening and opportunities for 'drop-in' telling, loads to learn and much to share.
Performances by familiar and less familiar names: Steph Bradley, Katy Cawkwell, Sue Field & Nina Hills, Moe Keast, Mike O' Connor & Barbara Griggs, Lisa Schneidau, Tamar Eluned Williams, Alan Woollard and tellers from the clubs of Devon & Cornwall as well as the students from the first undergraduate degree course in Contemporary Storytelling & Performance based at the world-famous Eden project in Cornwall.
Storytelling Workshops led by David Heathfield, Terrie Howey, Sharon Jacksties, Denzil Monk, Mike O'Connor and Barbara Griggs, Lois Taylor, Polly Tisdall to name a few, will open eyes, hearts and bodies to the changing world around us, giving you the chance to explore new ways to tell.
A chance to have your say about the SfS. An opportunity to come and make new contacts and share ideas. Support the Junior Storytelling competition for Devon & Cornwall on the Sunday by showing the youngsters (7+) that we care about storytelling for the future. So much so that we will listen and appreciate how difficult it is to get up on the stage and tell a story to an audience for the first time because we have been through it ourselves and love stories and want to encourage new tellers.
Because we are people who will travel to hear a different teller, to listen to something new, to find out what is going on in the rest of the country. So, join us at The Gathering at Plymouth University's iconic Roland Levinsky Building in Plymouth City Centre from May 5th-7th 2017.
Yes, you have to find the cost of travel and accommodation (don't forget Airbnb as well as Guest Houses, Hotels and caravan sites – all within easy distance of the University) but the biggest yes of all is that for the price of the weekend ticket plus Friday night you get an experience to revel in. A Gathering to re-ignite the fire beneath the phoenix. We look forward to seeing you in Plymouth in May!

While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to maintain your car or truck. Car aficionados appreciate the a reliable name built into each Audi, and know that only the best repair A6 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. When your Audi A6 left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants German engineering in their automobile. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles in today's marketplace.
Sometimes the most important performance parts are the smallest, but they are often overlooked. The job of detonating the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chambers in the engine is your Audi A6 spark plug. Basic spark plugs use a copper electrode, while performance spark plugs use platinum or iridium on all current models. When one of the spark plugs does not fire when it should, the engine in your Audi A6 will not turn as hard; reducing power and gas mileage while increasing harmful emissions.
Procuring new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement A6 parts on the internet. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Audi A6 Spark Plug for your 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 model.

Outside Florida: New Texas Theme Parks Announced
Tuesday, February 10, 2015 | Posted by OTPN administrator | Edit Post
Ft. Worth, TEXAS – Yesterday morning, the DreamVision Company (a Fort Worth-based privately owned entertainment and media enterprise) announced plans for two multi-billion dollar theme parks and the addition of executive Dave Goodman as president of DreamVision Theme Parks and Resorts. DreamVision CEO Rick Silanskas stated that the parks are being developed in partnership with Bryan Robinson, CEO, Provident Global Capital, LLC.
Located in Fort Worth's Metroplex region and slated to open in 2020, DreamVision Mountain (also known as DreamScape), Texas will transport guests through multiple themed lands and attractions.
Rising up in the center of the park will be the iconic DreamVision Mountain, a towering winter wonderland and one of the largest indoor winter snow experiences in the world, featuring winter sports like skiing, snowboarding and bobsledding. The realistic winter landscape, inspired by the artwork of Thomas Kinkade, will be created by technology developed by Malcolm Clulow, the foremost expert in indoor snowmaking. Themed lands, including Dreamscape Tinsel Town, Nadia's Storybook Land and Dreamscape Metropolis, will surround DreamVision Mountain, each offering unique attractions, rides and adventures.
Plans for a second theme park in Muscle Shoals, Alabama will be announced February 11 at an 11 a.m. CST press conference at the Marriott Shoals Hotel.
According to Rick Silanskas, the company has already begun pre-development on the parks. "Although they are being built simultaneously, each has separate themes, rides and attractions that embody the DreamVision family brand," he said.
Since 2002, Silanskas, a producer, musician and composer, who has created award winning work for the motion picture, television and animation industries, has assembled a team of top entertainment industry professionals, among them chief creative officer Ron Logan, previously executive vice president and executive producer for Walt Disney Entertainment and the force behind the Broadway production of "Beauty and the Beast," and president Vince Silanskas, a former Walt Disney World executive.
DreamVision has added Dave Goodman, a longtime entertainment executive, to head up the theme park division. Goodman is a former vice president of entertainment and executive producer at Disneyland Resort and has held executive level positions at Walt Disney Special Events Group and Busch Entertainment Corporation.
"We are thrilled to have Dave take charge of the theme park division," Silanskas said. "With his expertise, DreamVision has the best team to launch these two family-oriented theme parks. Both parks will include golf courses, water parks, hotels, concert venues, retail and more."
Pioneering a new breed of family entertainment, DreamVision also announced an extensive partnership with The Thomas Kinkade Company; a music division and label called DREAMVISION MUSIC; a CGI film "NADIA" (in production); and the Broadway adaption of "NADIA."

Nah, Disney Texas will never happen.

This company? has not even bought land to build this proposed multi-billion dollar entertainment complex. Unless they have secretly bought land somewhere, or leased it. None of the media outlets here in the North Texas Metroplex believes this project will ever get off the ground.

16-4 Over Their Last 20 Games And Now Tied For First, I Think It's Safe To Say The Nats Are Back
Oh shit, the Nats are back! One bad week in April and a bunch of gumps declared them dead, but I said woah woah woah, not so fast, and now they are 16-4 over their last 20. Tied for first with the Mets. And add another HR from Bryce tonight, giving him 15 on the season (quick check—it's May 19th). So overrated. Such a bust.
And Ryan Zimmerman. His 10th career walkoff. 10th. Most walkoffs since 2006: Zim with 10, Giambi and Dunn with 7. Chocolate syrup showers for Mr. Walkoff.

This yacht is no longer for sale on www.superyachts.com
Luxury Sailing Yacht Victory Chimes For Sale
Victory Chimes, built as "Edwin And Maud" being named for the two children of her first Captain, Robert E. Riggen, is the only surviving example of the Chesapeake Ram type schooner in existence today.
She was optimized in her design for use on the mid Atlantic and Great Lakes where it was necessary for a schooner to fit through the shallow navigational canals which linked ports in larger and deeper bodies of water. Her original cargo consisted of sawn lumber, grain, soft coal and fertilizer, which she carried in and out of Chesapeake Bay until 1945 when she was converted to carrying passengers. She worked the Bay until she was purchased by a syndicate who brought her to Maine in 1954 and re-named Victory Chimes.
Victory Chimes operated as a successful charter business on the coast of Maine until 1984 when she was sold to a Minnesota banker who brought her to the Great Lakes. Shortly after, she was purchased by the owner of Domino's Pizza, Mr. Thomas Monaghan, and re-named "Domino Effect". Used by the company for employee incentive cruises, Mr. Monaghan invested large amounts of money repairing and restoring the schooner and can arguably be credited for saving her life.
In 1989 she returned to the coast of Maine and subsequently in 1990, was purchased by her current owners, Capt. Kip Files and Capt. Paul DeGaeta who named her "Victory Chimes" once again and returned her to the passenger trade. Honored by the State of Maine as "The premier schooner of the Maine sailing fleet" in 1991, by the United States National Parks Service as a "National Historic Landmark" in 1997 and minted on the State of Maine Quarter in 2003, she remains a successful and well kept "working" vessel steeped with important U.S. maritime history.
Victory Chimes presently holds a USCG Certificate of Inspection for 50 passengers and is diligently kept to, and above, the standards the USCG requires with annual inspections, etc…
Disclaimer: These particulars are a general guide to give a broad description of the yacht. They are not intended to constitute part of an offer or contract. All photographs, measurements, plans and specifications referred to are given as a guide only and should not be relied upon for the purchase or charter of this yacht.

Even if all consumers from all completed the planetary banded mutually and wished next to all their mightiness to bring on prices of commodity and work down, it looks resembling prices will not go lint this time period.

We were pleased to learn about the efforts of Gehlbach et al1 in "Code Status Orders and Goals of Care in the Medical ICU." We applaud the questions posed by this contribution to CHEST (April 2011), and feel the authors' framing of these issues raises interesting points for further discussion.
One consideration relates to the decision to combine patients and surrogates into a single population, "patients/surrogates." While we acknowledge the critical care setting frequently necessitates discussion with surrogates rather than patients, we feel it might be problematic to treat these populations as interchangeable in studying patient preferences and how they differ from code status. Code status orders are usually intended to represent patients' wishes, not those of surrogates, and a large trial demonstrated that patient and surrogate wishes frequently differ.2 We wonder whether the recorded discrepancies between preferences and code status might reflect latent differences between patients and surrogates in addition to confusion and miscommunication.
Another point relates to the discussion surrounding discrepancies in goals of care between physicians and patients. The authors conclude that discrepancies exist in 67.7% of cases, but we are curious as to whether they considered that physicians and patients might use different language to express goals that are closely related or even in agreement from a clinical perspective. For example, the results show that patients are more likely to prioritize achieving life goals, whereas physicians are more likely to prioritize prolonging life. These goals appear to overlap in many clinical scenarios, yet this distinction accounts for the two most significant subsets of discrepancies between physician and patient priorities.
Finally, we are curious about the decision to prompt patients, surrogates, and physicians to identify a single goal of highest priority, particularly in framing the relationship between curative and palliative therapy. While it is true that many physicians view these approaches as mutually exclusive, recent studies have indicated a simultaneous care model may provide substantial benefits, including prolonged life.3,4 Attending to patients' comfort may actually help them live longer.5 We are concerned that framing goals of care in terms of singular priorities risks propagating a notion of care as either palliative or curative and may impede integration of these approaches to patient care. We thank Gehlbach et al1 for their thoughtful investigation of these issues and their ongoing commitment to the task of improving current practice.

Heh, yeah, Negi seems to have more of a spine when it comes to kissing in this. He's much more up tight about it in the manga, doncha think? Personally, I like it. I think that, at this point, it makes for a stronger main character.

i'm a bit sceptical about negi interpretation in ?! series.
i feel negi more like a weakling, a fragile summoner who can only trust on his partners strength and nothing else.
sure he has effective spells, but the weakness is more psychological : in fact, i feel negi a bit helpless (due the fact he don't have a real goal to begin with : he is not seeking for his father, thousand master (come to think of it, he was barely mentionned, and even not supposed to be missing. and he sounds to have some connection to the star crystal theft.), and also, he doesn't seem to be concerned about being a good teacher and magister).
he doesn't have this brilliant resolution he was supposed to have. (no KOOL lone business mode, no berserking entries etc).
*sigh* i really need to separate ?! with the original serie, but it's too hard, because of the anime quality >_<
this is only my opinion, but i was thinking about it for a moment (this is the most revelant "character change", along with Setsuna and asuna personnality and backstory changes.)

aye its true that negi seems to be loosing it as a kid who tries to become stronger...from what i see hes already strong and isnt inclined to improve much more unlike the original...
also i dont get much of a sense of feel for the place being of a school environment...the atmosphere is messed up >.<
also the plot so far has been random and its hard to see where things are going...unless its comes and smacks you in the face...
but in views it is unique and different...the writers are having a mess about with the story and changes my memories of the original...like how setsuna was never that close to konoka in the original...
so still these two series are very different the way its heading...

aye aye... finally saw the raw...
the randomness of this episode was explosive as usual (laugh hard with sestuna becoming for some instant a shinmeiryuu bookworm )
but the best part of this episode is the Meganekko eye catchs !!! (asuna was unexpectly sexy with theses, while makie was just moe ^__^ . negi was so cute it was also funny with his expression XD)
the inexpected random end was excellent too (chun li parody, with the cheap nikuman trick my stomach hurts XD)
OP : i compared it with the first version, and it is the same. i guess that after the other version, reverting back to the first one gives some impressions of speed (especially the speech tone, content and voices : several sentence were overwritting the background music tempo because of the lenght of these)
ED : haruna's seyuu was really good (especially with the ayiaa part), but is it me or does she have some kind of accent? (i sensed this when she is dubbing haruna)
note : no "what should i do" weakling quote for negi this episode... good grief ~~

I'm so glad I don't know the previous series or the manga. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing "messed up" about this show at all. It's pure win. The visual aspect around the twins' contract was just amazing, with the high view and the white and the pastel colors, and the pulsing circles.
But the story definitely takes second place to the brilliant visual invention and great, almost musical, pacing, and the lovely characters and their interactions. Maybe it's more Shinbou than Akatsuki, but I haven't heard of the mangaka complaining, so perhaps he's cool with the revolutionary interpretation, like a singer who likes to do his songs differently each time.
I'm not sure how popular this will be as a 5:30 pm anime, though. It seems to be hovering around a 2.0 viewer share, which isn't great for that time-slot.
The ED in 8 is sung by Ishige Sawa (Haruna), Kuwatani Natsuko (Yue) and Noto Mamiko (Nodoka), according to the on-screen end credits...as relentlessflame said, but I can't stand not to see their actual names mentioned. Ishige Sawa plays Yuma and Yuna in PaniPoni; Kuwatani Natsuko was Suiseiseki in Rozen Maiden and Alph in Nanoha; and Noto-kawaii-yo-Noto is the Jigoku Shoujo, Shimako in Marimite, Nina/Anna in Monster, etc. etc.
Ishige Sawa, Kuwatani Natsuko, and Noto Mamiko:

Yeah, I think I read someone say this somewhere, but it's really too bad this looks like a show where Negi will be exchanging provisional contracts with all the girls. I think they did a good job increasing the flavor of certain characters in the remake, but that was way too spontaneous and unwarranted a situation, when he did the contract with those two girls who had just half an episode of goofy childish antics to bolster their significance in the story as a whole. I would've liked it if they'd only had provisional contracts with characters who have been clearly developed by that point, and for a substantial purpose. Plus, those two characters are among my least favorite, for the simple reason that I hate kids (no, lol, it's just that their antics are pointless in the context of everything else that happens, and I don't find them cute, therefore it's just an empty experience to see them).
Anyway, the series continues to have that unique charm . The random insanity was a bit overpronounced/frequent this episode, however. Oh yeah, and it seems to me that the fan service is still just as present as in the first series, but now it's smarter, you know? Which is excellent, since I'm entertained by that extra element but am just annoyed when I see "panty shots" or other cliched scenes.

Oh my - its TUXEDO MASK!
The random level for this episode was over the top, which is a very good thing considering the nature of this show. I want Setsuna's hat. :3
The end battle between Chao & Ku Fei was also pretty genius - its good to see best friends like that fight in a 2D style.

The part after the opening was a little boring in comparition to the rest of the episode, but overall it was a win ep.
Walking club nice one
But im a little worried about Negi getting a pactio with the whole class. I hope that the director/makers have enough creativity to make artifacs/cards for everyone without screwing up the essense of the chars.

Overall I really like the feeling of this series, more so than the Manga, as of Vol 10 at least, and of the last anime version.
I suppose it's the little things that make it different. The art style and direction is more enjoyable for me. While I might not of really cared for the Twins to make a Pactio with Negi, how the whole scene looked art-wise was really great. Add in the fact that the music always seems to fit the mood for these types of things, at least to me.
Negi does not really seem that weak to me, he seems abit more sure of himself in his abilities really. He's not shy about kissing for a pactio, but does show that the thoughts of anything more than a pactio relationship has not crossed his mind. When Konoka joked about the "laws in japan" in relation to kissing, him and Asuna looked shocked.
I think also that Negi is more open with his ability to use magic, he's not shy to cast a spell or unsure of himself with his magic abilities. He knows if he's beat it seems and understands the value of a partner.
I'm also not to worried about the entire class getting sucked into it. If the series takes off more so than the first, then we might see that down the line but right now it really has that DBZ/Naruto/Bleach type feel in that he is going to get together his crew and then from there more bad guys will enter and they will start having these people face off against each other. Perhaps there will be some form of training to extend the time on there forms so they don't have to worry about running down after a few moments.
Something I don't see in this series so far is any real connection between Asuna and Negi. In the manga and first series you get that feeling that they are connected and that they might be the only two "important" partners. In this series though Asuna feels like she's the first to make a pactio, but other than that she's on the same level as everyone else that's made a pactio. Don't know if this is making sense or not. *laughs*
So overall I like the series and hope it keeps going the same route it is now and i'll be very happy with the end result.

No, it makes perfect sense. There hardly seems to be an eye flicker between the two (Asuna and Negi). It really looks like Shinbo is muting any sense of comradeship (platonic or otherwise) outside of the designated "play for laughs" SetsunaxKonoko and the Nodoka crush. After Sayo's ep, it appears that muting effect may permeate the series. It doesn't *ruin* the series but it is disappointing because Shinbo *was* able to pull off extreme tragedy and strong feelings in Tsukuyomi Moon Phase while integrating the absurd comedy in.

Crazy as always haha. Ah but what vexx said seems to be pretty spot on...There like taking different story plots and chucking em in the blender lol.
The start felt abit weak and slowly paced, but once they got to library island that made up for it in a big way. I absolutely love how they protrayed the place and id be right there with nodoka saying id wanna live there (Sans deadly traps ). The other high point animation wise would be the whole bit between negi and the twins. I love how the rings pulsed from all three and then as they kinda start to become into agreement the rings intertwine until finally they just pulse from all three as one...Great visualization there.

There are thankfully many interesting aspects to this version. But with this ep I've added another item to my list of what has to go. Till now I pretty much had contract stuff: get rid of the crap card or find a use for it, decrease the randomness, and abolish the contractual orgasmatron. Now I'm adding one more thing to the list: if they can't provide a VERY good explanation, eliminate the twins' teletubby costumes. Humor, random spontaneity, and even absurdism is fine, but when you reach the point of absolutely meaningless eccentricity, it's time to quit. You can add only so many decorations onto something before it starts to look ridiculous.

Maybe its because i Liked the previous version a lot...but this too much randomness without the story really movin newhere is a bit dissappointing. A few good laughs are there and the girls look very cute, but yet, i yet feel the series not reaching the level of the previous version as of yet. After Episode 6 which according to me was Awesome, i thouht the series will get better, but its hardly moved on. I m hoping that the introduction of the new character "Black Rose Baron" will take the story a bit ahead.
Too much of extravagant animation has kind of made them sacrifice on the comedy part i feel. The animation rocks...but i ll be held on to the series only if the story is better.

00314: clay
A 15 year old boy is living in a universe similar to our own, but in the future, and on an icy planet. Everything changes when the Oskares take over the land, and everyone is forced to hide in the brushes. With government conspiracies circling, an elite team of supernaturals with certain abilities are sent into other dimensions to retrieve pieces of the puzzle to get society back to the way it is and 'save the world'. Things begin with a twist and the team of 9 begin their journey: what happens?
The three figures shadowed across the bright mountains as the sun crept up, shining above like stars had fallen and were now orbiting around this orb with bright glowing yellow stains. Funny, since you're adding both the verb and the noun of orb in this sentence, but it fits, as it was appropriately so. The small, dark crevices buried deep beneath the rock were the only shelter from the scalding, seeking light, and the remaining creatures on the desolate land had learned to live in complete darkess, as opposed to facing the extreme light.
"Is it here, do you deem this an 'approprite' area?"
"Dear me. Dear me out, Dante...why does it matter? We're killing this beautiful being anyways...why does it matter where we dump him to die?!" The voice of the young man echoed.
"You leave Askanon out of this," A slimy whisper as the man slowly dropped the baby in the soil and pat it down, "and this is what needs to be done. It is the Answer." Silence once again. The man looked towards the slithering individual with a look of sad worry and disgust.
"I loved him. I loved him, and we had to leave him. It's hard to--." He stopped and looked towards the bright mass above him, the remains of the sun. Sighing, he nodded softly, and the three dissapeared again, leaving the silent body of the baby alone. Alone.
