My First Trip Abroad
... the background and people in medieval costume running around. Turns out a Japanese tv show was filming that day. If only I brought my medieval garb I could have been in extra in some Japanese tv show. The day was pretty much sent walking around the small city and taking in the views. On such a nice day it was a much needed break. ...
Day 51 - Republica San Marino City/State
... South along the Adriatic coast for about a hundred miles. We arrived at our hotel just South of the Port town of Ancona in an area known as Portonuovo which has a commanding view of the sea from a bluff. The wind howls up here and should make for a noisy night. The hotel is devoid of people save a few that we saw in the lounge area. Not surprising given both its remote location and the time of year. Very quite except.....for the wind. All in all a very enjoyable day.
'Nothing' but an evening beach stroll
You are never doing nothing are you? I just went to write 'during the day today we did nothing' but it really isn't true. We were always doing something, just nothing of any interest.
So I will write 'during the day today we did something all day but that something isn't worth ...
Farewell to beautiful Venice
... We have all decided that our next holiday will definitely not be a driving holiday, maybe a resort holiday in Thailand or something. We arrived in Riccione at around 4.00pm and our apartment was big, clean and lovely, just what we needed for our rest stop. Lyndon and I headed out to find the supermarket that we had driven past earlier but as usual this was way harder than it should have been. Petty led us to a couple but they were ...
Milan day 2
... upon a womderful little french themed italian restaurant where we were warmly greeted and had a great meal. The spagetti primi platti I had was divine and was simply egg spagetti, butter, pepper and flakes of parmesan. Something I have learnt on this trip is that the Italians do not drench their pasta with sauce, the sauce is actually quite sparse.
We both loved our Milan ...

The redevelopment of Deptford Creek's Convoys Wharf was originally drawn up by "starchitect" Richard Rogers and approved by Lewisham council in 1995. But work stalled and the site was sold on to the über-cool Hong Kong-based developer Hutchison Whampoa two years ago for a reported £50 million.
The firm has now tweaked the plans - which also include shops, hotels, offices, and a skyscraper of up to 40 storeys - and resubmitted them to the council. A spokesman said that the firm was keen to start building "as soon as possible".
Tamer Alcici, manager of Conran Estates, said Deptford Creek was already a focus for builders with two major new developments - Greenwich Creekside and Theatro Towers - proving popular with buy-to-let landlords. Prices for one-bedroom new-build apartments start at about £250,000, with penthouses selling for about £475,000.
Deptford Creek also has a rich stream of period property. One-bedroom conversions in early Georgian properties are selling from about £230,000, and four-bedroom houses for about £500,000 - among the cheapest Georgian stock to be found anywhere in the capital. "Deptford already has the history and as the standard of the area improves, prices will rise," said Alcici. "Deptford is going to look amazing in five to 10 years."
The area already has decent transport links - a Docklands Light Railway and mainline station, plus New Cross Tube nearby. The high street is rather rough and ready but its regeneration potential has already been noted by none other than the New York Times, which last year gave the "unpolished diamond" its seal of approval, urging tourists to head to Deptford High Street to enjoy authentic pie and mash at A J Goddard which has been serving the authentic East End delicacy since 1890. And according to Alcici, the area is very firmly a buyers' market at present. "We have too much stock and not enough demand," he said.
However, the Convoys Wharf project has already met with opposition from some local residents. Bill Ellson, secretary of the Deptford Creekside Forum, said: "The 3,500 units are more than Deptford can cope with in terms of facilities. That is 10,000 people, and there is not the infrastructure to cope with it. The tall buildings are far too tall and too far from transport, which will mean more cars on already overcrowded roads."

Chapter Thirty-eightMature
Chapter Thirty-Eight
What happened next was a blur, a few seconds awake in an ambulance then the pain sent me straight back into darkness The beeping of machines, voices yelling. Zack protesting about being held back. My mum crying, dad holding her and offering comfort. But the pain always took over and sent me back to blissful unawareness.
"How is he?" that was mum's voice.
"He's stable for now. But we have yet to assess any complications that could arise." I couldn't recognise the second voice.
"What about the kid who did this?" That was him, I'd never heard him so angry.
"The police are handling that. Their gathering all the statements now. From my understanding the boy who did this has a very troubled past," the stranger explained.
"I don't care about that, he needs to put away," he replied. I could just picture his fists clenched by his sides.
"He's a minor. He'll be put on probation and some serious counselling I'd imagine. But it will always be there on his record." I could tell the stranger was trying to calm him down, but he wasn't having any of it.
"This is completely ridiculous, that kid almost killed my son," he yelled. I jolted at the word and blinked rapidly against the light.
"Michael!" Mum yelled then she was at my side, holding my hand.
"What happened?" I half-slurred out. I closed my eyes against the light and tried to move. That was a very bad idea as pain rippled everywhere.
"Ow," I whispered, it was one of my bigger understatements.
"I wouldn't start moving just yet," the stranger said. I squinted and realised he was a doctor. I was in hospital. Damn, what had happened?
"You were stabbed. You've been in and out of theatres. Most of the damage has been repaired. But I won't lie, it was a pretty close call," the doctor explained. Lewis had stabbed me? He did something to the IV and then the pain faded away.
"We should leave him to rest for now," I heard the doctor say. I wanted to object, but whatever he'd given me knocked me.
When I came around again it was Zack sitting in the chair next to me. I tried to move, this time I was prepared for the pain.
"Thank god your awake," Zack said, realising I was awake. He left his chair quickly and grabbed my hand in both of his. There were bags under his eyes, not to mention his clothes looked wrinkled, had he slept overnight?
"I'm fine, well. Better than I was," I said. Zack laughed, it was a horse sound and I wondered when he'd last had a drink.
"What's happening to Lewis?" I asked, I remembered the conversation I'd heard before, but I couldn't tell how much time had passed. Zack face turned to ice at the mention of his name.
"Counselling from the sounds of, probation time. But he's not switching schools. Something about government cuts, though how that affects him and school I don't understand," Zack replied.
"Maybe he lives in care or something," I pointed out. Zack shrugged.
"I don't care, I didn't hang around to hear any sob story he might have. As far as I'm concerned he can drive himself off a cliff," Zack growled.
"Why do you care? You're the one he hurt," Zack asked. I shrugged.
"Maybe after all the counselling he'll be better, fresh start and all that," I replied. Zack looked at me like I was crazy and dropped my hand to stand up fully.
"You'd give him a second chance?" Zack asked, shock in his voice.
"Everyone deserves one," I said. I understood his expression, what I was saying was crazy. But I couldn't help it, not when I remembered Lewis face after. When he realised I'd stepped in the way. He probably blames himself more than any of us could.
"Let's stop worrying about it. The doctor says one more week and you can leave this place," Zack said. I nodded and grabbed his hand back, kissing it a few dozens times.
"Zack," I started, unsure if I wanted to ask my next question.
"I did believe it. For a second. I'm sorry," he said, answering my unspoken question. I nodded, it hurt to hear, but it would've been worse hearing a lie we could both see through.
"That's okay, I understand. I still love you," I said after a few moments of drawn out silence. I heard Zack release a breath I didn't realise he was holding.
"I love you too," he replied.
End :)

I love Autumn and there have been many years I missed most of this season in dooors, working away, oblivious to the changes taking place around me. Autumn has always been a very busy season in the retail business and my responsibilities increase this time of year. This year and last year, I made a point to schedule some vacation time in late October. I spent a long weekend in the Ozark National Forest enjoing all that Autumn has to offer. I also spent some time in the forest of middle Tennessee. One thing we noticed is that this year's Autumn in very different than last year. Besides the color being more prominent, the ground is also more fruitful. We witnessed tons and tons of nuts of all kinds scattered in abundance on the forest floor. Trees bearing fruit, several on every branch, falling plentifully upon the ground. The bushes and trees are full of berries. Does this mean we are in for a long winter. The funny thing is, I did not notice large numbers of squirrels and other animals gathering them. Many lie on the ground untouched, in large numbers. This has been food for thought into just what this means. It seems we have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving that will soon be upon us.
Luke 10:2
And He was saying to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.
Leviticus 25:1-7 NAS
The LORD then spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you come into the land which I shall give you, then the land shall have a sabbath to the LORD. 'Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its crop, but during the seventh year the land shall have a sabbath rest, a sabbath to the LORD; you shall not sow your field nor prune your vineyard. 'Your harvest's aftergrowth you shall not reap, and your grapes of untrimmed vines you shall not gather; the land shall have a sabbatical year. 6 'All of you shall have the sabbath {products} of the land for food; yourself, and your male and female slaves, and your hired man and your foreign resident, those who live as aliens with you. 'Even your cattle and the animals that are in your land shall have all its crops to eat.
Ge 41:35 – NAS
"Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh's authority, and let them guard {it.}
Mt 6:26 – NAS
"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and {yet} your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
Ac 14:17 – NAS
and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness."

Hotpoint freezer cool fridge too cool
Hotpoint csx22d. Freezer turned all the way up (COLDEST) reads (10-28F) fridge turned all the way down just before shutting off reads (31-32F). NO electrical schematic anywhere on unit so I don't know what to jumper out or measure to rule out any problem. I need freezer to drop in temp. If I adjust the fridge temp control to a colder setting, it will get colder in the freezer but it will also get colder in the fridge ie ( adjusting fridge setting to 3 [1-9] will lower freezer temp to 2F but will also lower fridge temp to 27-28F. Freezer door seals appear to seal well and are in good shape.
Is this problem unique?
you need service. pretty soon the refig will be down also. call a local guy he'll be able to fix you up. a lot goes into this;not rocket science but not diy.

Arizona Diamondbacks Crushed By St. Louis Cardinals in 6-1 Loss
Miguel Montero provided the only Arizona Diamondbacks' run during last night's 6-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Jim Louvau
It didn't take long for this year's Arizona Diamondbacks squad to falter. Opening Day's exciting win over the St. Louis Cardinals may have been fun and all, but it seemed a distant memory as the D-backs' were crushed by the redbirds of the Midwest last night in a 6-1 loss during the second game of the season.
It was a complete reversal of fortune from Opening Day where it was St. Louis' turn to shell Arizona with run after run and hit after hit while the Snakes' bats stayed mostly silent and their pitching staff pulled a major fail.

D-backs Trevor Cahill proved very competent through the first five frames, firing off first strike fastballs and fanning seven batters while scattering three hits and earning a lone run in the fourth inning. The sixth inning, however, is when things started falling apart.

Cahill beaned Jon Jay with a four-seam fastball before giving up a two-run homer to Matt Holiday to make things 3-1 in favor of the Cardinals. For his next trick, the Arizona starting pitcher allowed a Carlos Beltran single and a Yadier Molina walk before surrendering the mound.
Reliever Heath Bell proved to be a total disaster as his first pitch ever as a Diamondback became a 440-foot Pete Kozma homer. Then he walked Shane Robinson before giving up a two-run homer to Jay. Derp. Josh Collmenter got Arizona out of the inning with no further damage and carried the team through the eighth before Matt Reynolds closed things out.
Miguel Montero provided the D-backs' smattering of offense during the game as he walloped an 88-mph cutter from St. Louis' Jaime Garcia to start the second inning and later swatted a single in the fourth. Other than that, it was nothing by fly outs and ground outs Arizona, save for a Gerardo Parra single in the bottom of the seventh.
It wasn't for a lack of opportunities, however, as Garcia practically served up a chance for a comeback in the sixth frame when he loaded the bases by walking Paul Goldschmidt, Montero, and Alfredo Marte (who made his debut in a D-backs' uniform last night) with two outs recorded. Cardinals' reliever Edward Mujica came in from the bullpen and snuffed things out quickly and struck out Jason Kubel looking.
The rubber game in the series takes place tonight at Chase Field as Arizona sends off-season acquisition Brandon McCarthy to the mound to face St. Louis started Lance Lynn. First pitch is at 6:40 p.m.

How Did Leland Yee Place Third in the Sec. of State Race?
There's a strange takeaway from the election.
Federal indictments and a senate suspension didn't keep a large number of people from voting for disgraced California Senator Leland Yee in the primary.
Yee's numbers put him in third place in the Secretary of State's race.
Even though he quit the race after being indicted on federal corruption charges, he managed to finish ahead of five other candidates, including Dan Schnur, who's a political consultant and former member of the California Fair Political Practices Commission.
So, how did that happen? He believes it was the fault of the media.
"If you were a Californian that didn't happen to be paying very close attention the week of the Yee arrest, the odds of you knowing about it were actually relatively slim," Schnur said.
Still, Schnur believes voters are tired of corrupt politicians and his campaign brought attention to the need to clean up state government.

I have an OMM small backpack. It is very comfortable to run with and stays put, even without the aditional chest and hip straps. Hasn't got a hydration pack, but I am personally not drawn to them as sceptical about being able to keep them clean - prefer to run with a bottle of water in the backpack. I do wonder though how it will cope with the summer weather - it's an additional layer on the back, where it does get sweaty
thanks goji. not sure I will convert to hydration pack but want to leave my options open!
OMM seems to be pretty popular. My local running shop just recommended Gregorys as being a great woman specific pack - anyone got one?
I've got a North Face womens enduro pack. Small and skinny and has a funny shoulder harness system rather than the usual shoulder straps, which is very comfy. 1.5L bladder and waist belt pouches too. It's a great pack but a bit small for me - I think it's designed more for really petite women...
thanks for your thoughts. I have ordered a Gregory pack - tried it in running shop & it felt fine. Will let you know how it is
sgc1: the one that feels right is the one you should get, probably. I have a 5 litre Mizuno pack which has been fine and I just got the Salomon 10+3 vest backpack which feels great but I've not used it properly yet.
for those who are interested, I ended up getting my Gregory pack - 12 litre - & i LOVE it
I've been using the Salomon 10+3 vest for a few weks now and finding it great.
It hasn't arrived yet so I'm not sure how good it is for women but... I have just ordered an OMM Ultra 12 back pack, it's light, can be used with a bladder or bottles, you can buy extra attachments for more storage and they are only £25 from Cotswold Outdoors at the moment!
I find it quite hard to find packs that are suitable for me, I have had 2 hydration packs so far and they both rubbed, the first (cheap one from JJB) around the neck and the second (Camelbak) around the waist, fingers crossed this one does the job!!!
touie2: I have the OMM Ultra 12 pack - I bought it (from Cotswold) just before I saw the Salomon 10+3, and decided to keep it as a spare. I've taken to wearing it if I've had the Salomon tightened a bit too much and got sore pressure points - e.g. after yesterday's 25.8 mile run with the Salomon, I wore the OMM 12 for this morning's run, and it was fine.
Note: mine arrived without the compression cord. Can you let me know if yours has it or not? Thanks.
Hi touie, thanks for reporting back!
Hm, good to know it wasn't just me. Still irritating.
You can get decent elastic cord in a climbing shop - I got some for 60p/metre in Lakes Runner/Lakes Climber in Ambleside - you'll want a couple of metres (more than you'd think).
I thought mine didn't fit wonderfully either, to look at, but I ran wearing it for more than two hours of Sunday with no ill effects. And I was carrying probably 2.5 kg (pack, water, food, emergency gear).
Do with the manufacturers would build these things with chest straps fitting a bit higher to suit the female anatomy! That's the reason I didn't go with any of the Inov8 packs.

This is normally something the fine guys at The Platoon Advantage do every day during the season (and twice a week in the offseason), but I wanted to co-opt their idea to bring you some of the best, recent work from around the SweetSpot Network. I asked Bill and TCM if it was OK for me to borrow their feature and they were thrilled to have the day off.
Baseballin' on a Budget (A's): The Value of the Oakland Bullpen. Dan Hennessey thinks the A's new bullpen is going to be a big help in 2011.
GhostRunner on First (Blue Jays): Dear God No. Drew Fairservice is not very keen on the Jays kicking the tires on Michael Young.
Pro Ball NW (Mariners): 40 Man, Player by Player, Ichiro Suzuki. How will the M's approach their next contract talks with Ichiro, and how will that affect the rest of their roster.
Weaver's Tantrum (Orioles): The Lefties. Dave's going through the O's position battles that will be decided in spring training. First up, the LOOGYs.
Baseball Time in Arlington (Rangers): The Delusional Nutjob and His Enablers. This is a nice companion piece, with a slightly different outlook, to the one Austin wrote in this space Thursday. And puts the blame for the Rangers/Michael Young fiasco squarely on Young.
The Ray Area: The Skipper Speaks. Mark got to hang out with Tampa manager Joe Maddon the other night, and came away impressed and with the scoop on the 2011 Rays.
Fire Brand of the American League (Red Sox): Theo Epstein Throws a Bunch of Darts at a Wall. Darryl Johnston's impressed by the quantity of arms the Sox have stacked up to handle the back end of the bullpen.
Royals Authority: End of 2011 Checklist. What should the Royals be looking to accomplish on the field in the coming year?
The Daily Fungo (Tigers): RIP Woodie Fryman. Mike says goodbye to a Tigers great.
Nick's Twins Blog: Experience Matters. Nick Nelson thinks the Twins, as is their M.O., are going to pursue some veteran insurance up the middle
It's About the Money, Stupid (Yankees): Highest-paid players, per team. An awesome graphical representation of the highest-paid player on each team in the Bigs. Bonus linkage: No really, the Vlad signing was bad. Brien hates on the Vlad signing, which jibes with what Keith Law had to say about the O's.
Capital Avenue Club (Braves): Where is the love? Kevin Orris on a Braves prospect he thinks CAC's Peter Hjort has overlooked, outfielder Adam Milligan.
The View from the Bleachers (Cubs): Best Power Hitters Under Six Feet Tall. Joe provides a list of … wait for it … the best power hitters under 6 feet tall! It's a pretty fascinating list; I would've bet money on four of the first five guys being taller than that.
Redleg Nation: Maple Street Press Reds Annual. You might have noticed that just about every team has one (or more!) of these out now, annual publications previewing the team with pieces written by team bloggers and the like. They're generally pretty awesome, and it looks like the Reds are no exception.
Austin's Astros 290 Blog: Andy Pettitte belongs. No question mark. Period. Austin leaves no doubt at all about his feelings on the recently retired pitcher's Hall of Fame candidacy. I don't get how one can be that sure about Pettitte, but you have to appreciate conviction like that.
Dodger Thoughts: The Dodgers According to Ned Colletti. A long, thorough, excellent interview with the Dodgers GM, who believes the Dodgers played all of 10 days of championship-quality baseball in 2010.
Disciples of Uecker (Brewers): An Unfortunate Comparison for Mat Gamel. Keith Law is very down on Houston prospect Brett Wallace's swing and chances for a productive big league career. Jack sees a lot of troubling parallels between Wallace and one of the Brewers' top prospects.
Mets Today: Would You Trade for Michael Young? Pondering the frustrated player's potential fit with the Mets. These are some really outlandish proposals, but that's what makes it fun!
Crashburn Alley (Phillies): Phillies Kick Tires, Inquire About Michael Young. And another Youngapalooza post wondering if Young is a fit for the team (but this one apparently came close to happening). Bill analyzes where Young might play, and whether or not he'd be an upgrade there.
Ducksnorts (Padres): Breakouts, Newcomers, and offseason Moves. Geoff had an open thread a few days ago, and now provides some long and thoughtful answers to questions. Stuff about Maybin, Headley and Venable; also, Geoff thinks Jed Hoyer had a highly successful offseason.
Bay City Ball (Giants): Matt Cain is Controversial. Really. "To the average fan, Matt Cain must seem like about the least controversial player on the Giants. He mostly keeps quiet to the press, doesn't get arrested for having pot in his car. … But in the world of nerds arguing over statistics on the internet, Matt Cain is the most divisive Giant since Fred Lewis ..."
Fungoes (Cardinals): No Place for Edmonds. Pip is really, really not a fan of the Cardinals signing Jim Edmonds, and gives you a nice orderly list of five reasons why. And a graph!
Nationals Baseball: Bizzo? Rowden?. "It was cute for a while, this [former Nats GM Jim] Bowden impression, but signing Alex Cintron, that's going too far. That makes me want to send Anthony Hopkins out to Viera to see if [current Nats GM Mike] Rizzo has been demonically possessed by Bowden's spirit."
The Platoon Advantage: The Case Against Barry Bonds' Collusion Case. Bill puts to bed once and for all the idea that Barry Bonds was colluded against in 2008. Bonus linkage: Obligations. With so many focused on what the Rangers owe Michael Young, The Common Man wonders what Michael Young owes the Rangers. And what both of them owe Texas fans.
Jason Rosenberg is the founder and lead writer of "It's About The Money, Stupid," a SweetSpot Network member. IIATMS can be found on Facebook and on Twitter.

i presume it's a combination of things but was just wondering if anyone knew? does replaying tracks to get better times increase it for example, even if you already have the platinum medal?
I can't say exactly how the score is calculated, since I don't know.
What I do know is that zero faulting gives you a higher score than just a faster time. I've read on the RedLynx forums that it's better to zero fault a course and have crappy time, rather than a faster time and a couple of faults.
Once you've gained platinum, then yes, faster times will push you up the leaderboards.

SEO (search engine optimization) and SMO (social media optimization) are powerful techniques that you can use to promote your brand. These strategies are the draw that pulls in potential visitors to your website. It is a methodology to direct web traffic to a singular goal and that's the generation of potential leads.
Thought pieces and white papers are other techniques that enhance the power of linkability. It takes time and effort to create them and place it in proper forums. The web landscape is competitive and the prerequisite is having an audience. So just creating white papers is not enough. It needs to be shared. At Wildnet, we know the intricacies involved in white SMO and how to implement it to your benefit.

An artist's impression of the inside of the Science Centre
We're an ambitious, innovative university. We want all our students to have the best possible academic facilities, experience and to graduate with a good degree. So we're making some improvements to our Cambridge campus which students will benefit from.
We're building a brand new science centre which will be a major facility for computing and technology, psychology, biomedical science and forensic science. The science centre will support changing teaching styles and include a 200-seat bioscience laboratory, a 300-seat lecture theatre and even more space for our postgraduate students. The building will be ready in the 2017/18 academic year.
Our gaming, music technology and sports and exercise science students will have a new home in Compass House, which will extend our campus along East Road. We're investing more than £3.5million in new facilities, including recording studio suites, Development Labs for computer sciences, Digital Systems Design Labs, Video Labs, AV Labs, two lecture theatres - one of which will be a Critical Listening Theatre. Our gaming and music technology students will have the latest equipment, and be able to collaborate with other students on innovative projects to hone their skills.
We're very concerned about the environment, and have considered transport, ecology and pollution as part of the planning process.
Through our new Energy Centre we'll make a total carbon saving of over 30% by using gas more efficiently and generating our own electricity.
We made sure that our contractors are part of the Considerate Contractor Scheme. The Considerate Contractor Scheme is designed to ensure that construction and routine maintenance activities in Cambridge progress without making life unpleasant for people who live and work nearby. Scheme members are asked to give a commitment which is over and above the legal minimum requirements and is described in the scheme's code of good practice.
Our contractors are going to work from 8am to 6pm Monday – Friday, and 8am – 1pm on Saturday. At no time will they work on Sunday, Bank or Public Holidays.
It's important to us that we answer your queries as quickly as possible, so have set-up a dedicated phone line and email address.

Irwin Mitchell has signed a deal with Telegraph Media Group (TMG) that will see the paper offering legal services to readers.
The firm has traditionally offered commoditised legal services through major insurers such as Aviva and LV, but this is the first time it has signed up a media outlet as a distribution channel.
Irwin Mitchell head of insurance Joe Simpson said: "For Irwin Mitchell it broadens the channels and echoes the new ways in which legal services will be delivered [after the Legal Services Act (LSA)]. It's the first post-LSA move for a newspaper brand."
Simpson said the firm had seen a significant increase in the number of high street brands looking to move into the commoditised legal services area.
"In the past six months we've begun a number of negotiations with some big brands," he said. "This is just the beginning for us. We're a firm looking for growth and this is where we see it coming from."
Irwin Mitchell has made no secret of its post-LSA ambitions. The firm lobbied on a government level to have the LSA implemented sooner so it would be better placed to compete with new entrants into the sector.
Last month the firm opened a base in Bristol in a bid to break into the South West legal market (The Lawyer, 16 Feburary).

Sunnyvale Volkswagen Service Reviews
- 1025 E El Camino Real
- Sunnyvale, CA 94087 (map)
- Chat with Dealer
Good experiences and bad experiencesWritten by clarkma5 on 11/14/08 12:00:00 AM PST Go back to Service reviews
Recommend this dealer? No
This was my dealer of choice for my 2002 VW GTI and the first 20,000 miles of my 2004 VW GTI ownership. They performed a brake light switch repair under warranty for my 2002 GTI with no issues and also the recall for the same item on my 2004 GTI. 10,000 mile services on both cars were also both fine. However for my 20,000 mile service on my 2004 GTI I asked them to look at a piece of misfitting trim around the exterior of the passenger side mirror...they took it apart and evaluated it and called me to tell me to pick the car up because the part they needed was on backorder for a week and to schedule another appointment to have it fixed. Alright, that's reasonable...I went to the service advisor desk, signed whatever paperwork I needed to, got my keys, and they brought my car around. Came out to find my passenger side mirror assembly strewn in parts around the passenger side footwell! The mirror glass, the housing, the trim, all the nuts, bolts, and screws...just laying loose on the floormat! I was LIVID that they would even try to give me back my car in that state. I opened up on the service advisor demanding it be put together immediately and, much to his credit, he was very apologetic and it got dealt with...still, I don't understand the attitude that would let that out the door in the first place. In the end they "fixed" my misfitting trim but it doesn't look any better than when it started. I haven't been back since. Also, while outside of that experience the quality of work was fine, I did find the service advisors generally unreachable and unwilling to be helpful or to listen...and they love to push unnecessary stuff like fuel injector cleaning services and transmission flushes (on a year old car? Yeah, not gonna happen...)

Chapter 9
I have let go of myself. The blur of my past is lost to me. I forget who, or if, I was before the light. My mind now wanders through infinite explanations for everything, and I understand it all. I can control it all and lose myself, a world exponential, apart from the tiresome universe I have come to be in. It is cooling now, and I will shape my will into the laws of nature.

Young people looking to get their first step on the property ladder may already look to their parents for financial help, but under the Liberal Democrat scheme outlined yesterday they will now have eyes on their pension pots.
The scheme announced by the party's leader, Nick Clegg, will allow parents and grandparents to put forward their savings tied up in pension funds and offset them against the cost of a deposit for their children to buy a property.
Party sources said they estimated that up to 250,000 families would be eligible to take advantage of the "pensions for property" scheme – securing deposits of around £10,000 each.
"We realise that this is not going to be the right scheme for everybody – but that doesn't mean we shouldn't make the option available," said one source. "It is about pushing innovative ideas to help young people get on the housing ladder."
However banking and pension industry sources were markedly less enthusiastic. One described the plan as potentially "Maxwellesque" and fraught with difficulties while the Association of British Insurers said they would need to examine the details carefully before endorsing it.
"Pensions are designed to mature into a decent retirement income, not for other purposes," said Otto Thoresen, director general of the organisation. "Any scheme which uses pensions as a guarantee must ensure that it does not inadvertently make the saver worse off when they retire."
Announcing the scheme Mr Clegg said it was designed to open up another source of funds for first-time buyers. "We have thousands of young people who are desperate to get their feet on the first rung of the property ladder but deposits have doubled and the number of young people asking for help from family members has doubled," he said.
"[We are] going to do something that hasn't happened before: we are going to work out ways in which parents and grandparents who want to help their children and grandchildren buy a property of their own, we are going to allow those parents and grandparents to act as a guarantee if you like so their youngsters … can take out a deposit and buy a home."
Liberal Democrat sources said of the 250,000 people who had a pension pot of more £40,000, around 5 per cent were likely to take advantage of the scheme, meaning 12,500 people could benefit. They said it was so far not clear if legislation would be required but they were confident the scheme would be in operation by 2015.
Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, added: "There are an awful lot of parents out there who don't have any cash to help their children get on the housing ladder. But in many cases they will have built up a substantial pension pot.
"That is their only asset which they will able to, when they reach retirement age, release a tax free lump sum.What we want to do is for parents in that category [to be able to] use that lump sum, which they will get when they reach retirement age, to guarantee part of the mortgage, the deposit on that mortgage, precisely to help their kids or grandkids to get on the housing ladder. It is about inter-generational fairness."
Mr Clegg admitted that he had been unable to persuade the Tories of his party's plans for a mansion tax on the most expensive properties. However he suggested that the Chancellor, George Osborne, was not opposed to any form of "wealth tax".
"I think there is a very considerable chance [of a new wealth tax], because we have already done a lot of it, to make sure that the top pay more tax.A mansion tax is not the only way in which you can make people at the top make a fair contribution."Reuse content

Originally posted on MLB Buzz | Last updated 7/25/12
Alfonso Soriano is doing what he can to boost his trade value. But it's far from certain that he will be dealt before Tuesday's non-waiver deadline. Soriano, 36, entered Wednesday with a robust .918 OPS and 19 home runs in 70 games since May 1, thus positioning himself as one of the top right-handed outfield bats on the market. It's unclear if other desirable right-handed outfielders – Philadelphia's Hunter Pence and Minnesota's Josh Willingham – will be moved at all. With Soriano, the issue is – and has been – money. He has roughly $6 million left on this year's contract, followed by $18 million in each of the next two seasons. The Cubs likely would need to include a substantial amount of money to facilitate a trade. On top of that, Soriano has a full no-trade clause. On the field, though, it's been hard to ask for much more. Soriano is on pace for his best offensive season since 2008, while playing "at least average – and maybe even above average" defense in left field, according to one scout. The Dodgers, Giants, Rangers, Indians and Pirates are among the teams that could benefit from Soriano's power. But Soriano's hefty contract would be a major complication in virtually every case. -- Jon Paul Morosi

The first ever animated Disney character is set to be a star again as one of his films has been rediscovered 87 years after it was made.
Sleigh Bells, a six-minute animation, was found by a researcher browsing the online database of the British Film Institute's archive.
The "exciting discovery" is thought to be the sole surviving print for the 1928 film, according to the BFI.
"A number of other (Oswald) films do survive but Sleigh Bells has been, until now, a lost film, unseen since its original release," the BFI said.
Walt Disney Animation Studios used the print to make a new master print and digital copies of Sleigh Bells.
A fully restored version will be shown next month in London as part of a Christmas programme including other Disney shorts from the 1930s to the present day.
Walt Disney and his long-time collaborator Ub Iwerks first drew the animations for Oswald in 1927 for Universal Studios.


text: NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking its 10th anniversary November 6 - 10, the New York Comedy Festival (NYCF), in association with COMEDY CENTRAL, today announced its 2013 line-up, featuring some of the comedy industry's biggest stars performing in New York City's most prestigious venues, including the Beacon Theatre, Carnegie Hall, the Theater at Madison Square Garden and Town Hall, to name a few. Among the highlights of this year's festival, Larry David, creator and executive producer of "Seinfeld" and creator, executive producer and star of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," will engage in a conversation with comedian, producer and host of Showtime's "Inside Comedy," David Steinberg. Joining these two comedy veterans on the festival's talent-laden bill this year are Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Kathy Griffin, Jim Jefferies, Anthony Jeselnik, Bill Maher, John Mulaney, Nick Swardson and Wanda Sykes. Burr, Griffin, Maher and Sykes will be returning to the NYCF, while Cummings, Jefferies, Jeselnik, Mulaney, and Swardson will all be making their festival debuts. This year's NYCF will feature more than 175 of the country's best established and emerging comedians performing in more than 50 shows throughout the city during the five-day laugh fest. Additional shows will be announced in the fall. "It's quite an achievement for the festival to reach ten years," says Caroline Hirsch, founder and owner of the New York Comedy Festival and Carolines on Broadway, which marks its 30th year in business. "In recognition of the anniversary, I think we've put together a really impressive line-up of comedy talent. We're thrilled to welcome back those who have performed in our festival in the past and are just as excited to welcome some new faces. We expect there to be no shortage of laughs around the city this November," Hirsch adds. "I'm thrilled to play the New York Comedy Festival again this year, where I will again attempt to push the envelope beyond where even the other comics will go - I strive always to be Carlos Danger!" said Bill Maher. "The New York Comedy Festival showcases stellar comedic performances at legendary venues annually and by reaching its 10 year milestone is a testament of the festival's phenomenal success," said Mitch Fried, Executive Vice President, COMEDY CENTRAL Enterprises. Not only has the festival brought the best in live stand-up to New York City, but it has provided a platform from which some of the industry's biggest stars have used to release their respective NYCF performances to widespread audiences. At the 2011 Festival, Louis C.K. taped and released his stand-up special, Louis C.K. Live At the Beacon Theatre, directly to consumers through his website, with a large portion of the proceeds going to charity. During the 2012 Festival, Kevin Hart shot his stand-up film Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain at Madison Square Garden. He performed two shows in one night at The Garden, making him only the second comedian ever to perform back-to-back shows in one night at The Garden. Dane Cook was the first when he performed his show Dane Cook: Vicious Circle LIVE during the 2006 New York Comedy Festival. Citi cardmembers will have special access to purchase pre-sale tickets to NYCF shows. The pre-sale will run from August 7 at 10:00 AM EDT to August 11 at 10:00 PM EDT. Tickets for all shows are available to the general public starting Monday, August 12 at 10:00 AM EDT. Tickets can be purchased through the New York Comedy Festival website: www.nycomedyfestival.com. The 2013 NYCF is presented in association with COMEDY CENTRAL. Now in its tenth year, the festival is produced by Carolines on Broadway. Sponsors are Citi and JetBlue. The media sponsors are: New York Post, Time Out New York and the Village Voice.

Freakish Diamond Pulled From Sub-Arctic Ice Is About to Go on Sale
- Gone Tomorrow | 04 | Vancouver IslandThe massive mountain ranges of British Columbia are as much defined by their grandeur as their variety. No place being more unique then it's West Coast, where the earth falls away and is broken into a series of infinately complex peninsulas, inlets, and of course islands. Here surrounded by water and directly at the mercy of the Pacific Ocean, massive weather systems dredge the terrain in rain, wind, and at the highest elevations... snow. A climate that forms and shapes the people and the unique cultures that exist around warmth and survival, as much as it shapes the terrain.Where in one step you can find yourself in a sub-tropical rainforest, in the next you can find yourself under seven feet of fresh snow, and another in a venerable backwoods community tucked into the base of a community run ski resort. This is exactly what was accomplished as we ventured from mainland British Columbia across the Georgia Straight and onto Vancouver Island. Greeted by the visual collision of sea and sky, as well as the physical collision of the biggest storm of the season directly to our faces. Let's just say it was a place that was hard to leave, and will certainly draw us back.Epic TV
- Stunning turquoise geyser lake in the Altai Mountains, RussiaStunning footage, filmed this month, of a geyser lake in the Altai Mountains, Russia, coloured turquoise because of thermal springs. The filmer later wrote online: "This attractive turquoise color is obtained through the thermal springs, which beat in the middle of the lake. "This force of the geyser eruptions raises beautiful blue sludge to the surface." "Due to this sand-clay mixture rising from the bottom, several circles of turquoise-blue color are formed on the surface," he continued. "The lake does not freeze even at temperatures below 0C."Newsflare
- Why Everyone Wants to Buy NiobiumMay 18 -- Niobium -- named for a Greek goddess who became a symbol of the tragic mourning mother -- is used to produce stronger, lighter steel for industrial pipes and aircraft parts. It is mined in only three places on Earth, and the price of every kilogram is seven times higher than copper. Bloomberg's Thomas Biesheuvel reports on "Bloomberg Markets."Bloomberg
Even in the world of rare stones, Foxfire is a freak.
It was buried in a place where big gem-quality diamonds aren't supposed to exist. A Rio Tinto Group ore processor was configured to discard it. And what saved the diamond's 187.7 carats from being pulverized was a fluke: Its unusual, elongated shape allowed it to slip sideways through a filtering screen.
"It really is a miracle that it was found,'' said Alan Davies, chief executive officer of diamonds and minerals for Rio Tinto, the operator of Canada's Diavik mine, Foxfire's former home. "It's a rare find, a really rare find."
That's the company's marketing line as it shows Foxfire to prospective suitors on a worldwide tour and promotes it as the largest gem-quality diamond ever found in North America. Luckily for Rio Tinto, rare diamonds are hot, much hotter than bog-standard rough stones. Sales of those fell 18 percent last year, while their uncommon cousins rack up records. Lucara Diamond Corp. just sold an 813-carat jewel named the Constellation for $63 million, making it the most expensive of its kind—$77,649 a carat. Next month, Sotheby's will offer one that could fetch more, the Lesedi la Rona, which at 1,109 carats is the size of a tennis ball.
"There's a lot of latent demand for good quality that's large," said Geordie Mark, an analyst at Haywood Securities Inc. in Vancouver. "The larger you go, the better pricing protection you have, simply because of rarity." Foxfire may be less than a third the size of the Constellation, which like the Lesedi la Rona hails from the Lucara mine in Botswana, but Davies said he's banking on its back-story capturing imaginations. "The providence is just superb."
Named for an aboriginal description of the Northern Lights—roughly translated to an undulating fox's tail—Foxfire escaped being crushed 130 miles (210 kilometers) south of the Arctic Circle in the Northwest Territories. The Diavik mine is remote, surrounded by rocks and too many lakes to count, with caribou and grizzly bears the nearest neighbors. In winter, daylight lasts fewer than six hours and the temperature can drop to minus 50 Celsius (minus 58 Fahrenheit). Approaching from the air, the Ice Road leading to the mine appears as a turquoise ribbon snaking across tundra and semi-frozen water. It's been unseasonably warm in Canada's north and this year the road was only open for eight weeks. The only other way in is from the sky.
Diavik exists because molten rock called kimberlite forced its way 100 miles up through cracks in the Earth 60 million years ago and erupted miles into the air, scattering diamonds in all directions. Over time, the stones were pushed back down into the volcanic pipes, which were scoured by glaciers and eventually topped with water. Foxfire was hiding where most such gems in the Northwest Territories lurk: beneath a lake.
The head of the mine is on an island in Lac de Gras, and the pit where Foxfire was buried is below the lake floor. Since Diavik began operating in 2003, it has produced more than 90 million carats of diamonds. Three kimberlite pipes are now being excavated, with a fourth scheduled to come on stream in 2018.
Mine processing systems are designed according to complex calculations about the likely size and distribution of gems waiting to be tapped. In Canada, diamond ore bodies tend to be quite consistent, said Kim Truter, CEO of De Beers Canada Corp. and a former head of Diavik. "For some reason, the quality of the stones at Diavik peaks at six carats but then thereafter actually gets worse."
So Diavik wasn't set up to handle big stones, and Foxfire pulled through in August by chance. Yuri Kinakin, superintendent of process technology, said he does think about another giant being crushed—"I get paid to be worried"—but views it as "a statistical question." One anomaly isn't enough to rejigger the whole place.
Foxfire looks like a pretty piece of glass with a slight yellow tinge, not the very white hue that's ideal for engagement rings. That could knock down the value, although Rio Tinto's experts figure the offending color can be polished away. Meanwhile, all the publicity surrounding the recent sale of the Constellation might be a boon. (The stone was purchased by a trading company in Dubai that will probably chop it into several pieces; even Elizabeth Taylor might not have wanted to wear a golf-ball sized diamond around her neck.)
Jordan Fine of JFine Inc., a dealer specializing in rare diamonds, had a look at Foxfire at New York's Langham Place Hotel, where it was recently on display for prospective bidders; before that it was showcased at Kensington Palace in London, and its next stops are Antwerp and Tel Aviv. Fine represents a Canadian retailer who would like to burnish the stone in front of customers in his shop and "doesn't believe that there's anything higher-end that he could deliver, being from North America."
Geography comes up again and again with Foxfire—born from volcanic force and buried under ice, it's hard to imagine a more Canadian diamond. One potential bidder represented by David Shara, CEO of Optimum Diamonds, is considering shaping it into a 100-carat maple leaf.
The world's biggest ever gem-quality diamond was the 3,106-carat Cullinan, found in 1905 in South Africa. It was fashioned into several polished gems, the two largest of which are part of Britain's crown jewels. But Shara said Foxfire is unusual enough that it might be kept away from the cutters and remain unpolished as a rough stone, perhaps even in a museum. Bids will be unsealed on June 1, and the winner will be notified by telephone.
"It is something extraordinarily rare that has come from North America," Shara said, "and it's that particular story that makes it so interesting to the collectors."

Scottish – Irish – Celtic
Events honoring Celtic roots and also traditions have actually long been popular. From the stirring cry of the bag pipe to the dress of formal tartan and kilt, weddings based upon aspects of Celtic custom can supply enduring memories. Aspects of these wedding events could consist of part or all of the following:
Anam Cara - Essentially, the Hearts Partner, this custom is a unique ceremony celebrating the creation of a timeless love forever more. This celebration of the aspects; to the Celts the four aspects Earth, Fire, Water and Air were the foundations on which a successful relationship were developed.
Anam Cara
This practice was adjusted as Christianity moved right into the Celtic lands and also continues to be a wonderful means to include loved ones in your event.
Handfasting - A ceremony dating back right to classical times, Handfasting is a tradition of marriage prior to the accessibility of rings as well as rare-earth elements. The couple would take a piece of cloth or rope and before their friends and families, declare their love and intent by reciting a couple of words and also binding themselves with each other symbolically with the rope. It is from this custom we still refer to marriage as "tying the knot".
Oathing Stone -- Exactly what better area to put the guarantees of a lifetime and eternity than in the heart of a stone? The oathing stone is held by the bride and groom while their promises are recited, then in some practices is thrown into a deep body of water to hold those guarantees for evermore. Today that stone could be kept as a remembrance of this big day.
Oathing Stone
The Quaich - Initially crafted from timber the twin handled Quaich was a Scotsman's canteen, mess kit and drinking cup rolled right into one. King James of Scotland gave his betrothed Anne of Denmark a Quaich as a symbol of his love for her throughout the marriage, from that point on the Quaich has been referred to as the "loving cup". This stunning event shares the blessings of Kith and also Kin to the couple.
The Quaich
Pinning of the Tartan

Normally the oldest woman participant of the bridegroom's family gives a piece of the household 's Tartan to the bride-to-be indicating she is now interwoven right into all the behaviors of the clan.
