EurAAP sponsors cooperation with Barcelona
Ben Witvliet received a € 2500 grant from the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) for Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) experiments in The Netherlands and Spain. The experiments in Spain will be done in cooperation with the GR-SETAD group of LaSalle University Ramon Llull in Barcelona. Cooperation with LaSalle started December last year. Previous research of GR-SETAD includes long distance ionospheric radio links from Spain to Antarctica.
The experiments that are planned involve eight beacon transmitters with switch left-hand and right-hand circular polarization, distributed over the country. The research focuses on antenna-propagation interaction and is aimed reduction of ionospheric signal fading and increase of throughput, extending previous research of Ben Witvliet.
Ben is a part-time Ph.D. student at the Telecommunication Engineering group. He also works at the Radiocommunications Agency in Groningen, the Netherlands. An overview of his previous NVIS research can also be seen on his poster Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) Antenna and Propagation Research in The Netherlands, for which he won the Best Poster Award at the URSI Benelux Forum in November 2014.
For any questions on the research you may contact Ben by e-mail or phone (+31 (0)651248341).

Alzheimer patients' moments of lucidity are fleeting
Alzheimer patients' moments of lucidity are fleeting
For some reason, I recently decided to watch the movie "The Notebook" ... again.
Just like the first time I watched it, I bristled at the end. Don't misunderstand me, I'm very much in touch with my feminine side and the story is indeed sweet, but I couldn't help but look at the license that Hollywood took with a critical eye.
I understand and appreciate creative license, but not when it can be confused for reality.
My goal here is not to "trash" the movie, but to help those of you who have seen it to better understand what you saw in a very literal sense. Spoiler alert! If you haven't seen this movie and you don't want to know what happens, stop here. For the rest of you, let me ask you if you remember the scene where, as they dance, Allie, who has Alzheimer's disease, has wonderful moments of lucidity? In real life that actually does happen, but don't be fooled. The experts will tell you to enjoy those moments because they will be fleeting and they are not a sign that the progression of the disease has stopped or reversed itself.
I know of a family that had reserved a place for their father in a dedicated community until they came to visit him one weekend. He was really "on his game" that entire weekend, and the family decided that they may have been too premature in deciding to "place" him.
Unfortunately, they called the community on Monday and told them they weren't going to place him after all. When I heard this story, I shook my head because I knew that in two days, two weeks or two months, they were going to find themselves in a very unfortunate situation. It turns out that three weeks later he ended up in a nursing home for rehab after he fell down some stairs while wandering. I hate it when I'm right. The community still had an opening, and when he was appropriate, he eventually did join the community.
Back to the movie. Again at the end, there is a very sad scene in which the ill wife, in the middle of the dance with her husband, suddenly doesn't recognize him and becomes very afraid. "Who are you? Why did you call me 'darling'? Don't touch me! Help," is what you hear her yell. I have been in dedicated communities from Florida to Maine and from Rhode Island to Colorado and I was the administrator of two Alzheimer's care communities for nearly 15 years. Never have I ever witnessed a resident behave in this way.
If you haven't already noticed this, your loved ones are very good at hiding their deficits. In a majority of situations they will always pretend they recognize you when they don't; they'll tell you they don't care for politics if you ask them who the president is or tell you that they stopped keeping track of their age years ago if you ask them how old they are. Remember that their environment often dictates their behavior. If there is too much noise, too much stimulation, too many people — in short, too much to process —they then may become agitated. But rarely will you ever see someone with Alzheimer's lose control in a one-on-one situation. This is especially true when they are with someone who understands their limitations and appreciates how important it is that they feel safe. This is why it's so important for professional and private caregivers to understand what they're dealing with and how to deal with it.
If you have any questions, please email me and I'll answer them directly or in a future column. Meanwhile, remember to "Join the Journey."

When we selected foreclosure listing services to include on our list, we searched for services that make finding the right house for you easier by providing tools like advanced search options and multiple types of listings.
The top foreclosure websites have abstractors, who are people that collect property information at local courthouses and other sources, certify and then post the results online. If you have the expertise, fortitude and patience to buy properties in foreclosure, a foreclosure listing service helps you to winnow buying opportunities. To learn more, read our articles about best foreclosure listings. For our listing, we scoured dozens of services. Below we list the standouts whether you're comparison shopping, educating yourself about the process or looking for the best service that has detailed listings.
Best Foreclosure Service for Comparison Shopping
When you are looking for a house and comparing many properties at once, it is hard to keep track of where you saw what and what house had which features. RealtyTrac.com members can access over a million foreclosed properties. With all of this selection, it is hard to narrow down which property is the best for you.
RealtyTrac.com provides a tool that lets you compare up to five foreclosure listings at once. Using this tool, you can get a side-by-side view of the properties you are seriously considering. In this direct comparison, sort information so you see what is most important to you. For example, maybe you are most concerned with which house is by better schools. Or suppose choosing a house with the best price per square foot is your most pressing concern. With RealtyTrac.com's tool, you can weed out which houses don't meet your standards and compare those that do.
When you visit RealtyTrac.com, its foreclosure listings are broken out into pre-foreclosures, bank-owned homes and ready-for-auction properties. In addition to its organized listings, this service's market analysis tools are well conceived, and its customer service is helpful.
Best Learning Center
Home or property buying is complex enough without the added complication of buying a foreclosed home. If you are new to property buying, it is important to understand the process, the laws that apply and the differences between purchasing foreclosed property from the bank and buying a regular property.
BankForeclosureSale.com provides informational articles and how-to articles for novice property investors. Its online knowledge center has detailed information about buying a foreclosed home including a buyer's guide, a foreclosure overview, information about different types of foreclosures and information about financing. If you are new to the process and need some serious education, BankForeclosureSale.com is a great place to start.
Bank Foreclosures Sale
Back before online foreclosure listing services such as BankForeclosuresSale.com were available, if you wanted to find foreclosed properties or pre-foreclosed properties, you established a relationship with bank officers, examined newspapers or physically visited local county courthouses.
Most Detailed Listings for a Foreclosure Service
Sometimes all you need when buying a foreclosed property is a detailed list of what each house offers. However, there is a lot of variation between what details online foreclosure services offer. Some only include basic information about the property, like how many bathrooms it has and the total square footage, while others include more detail, such as its sales history and loan, tax, and legal information.
Foreclosure.com is one of the most detail-oriented foreclosure services. You receive information about each foreclosure property, including square footage, the number of bedrooms and much more. With this foreclosure service, you can view all of the available legal information about a property, the auction information and the equity estimate. You also have access to additional tools, such as crime reports and demographics. This is especially important if you intend to live in the foreclosed home.
With the help of foreclosure listing websites such as Foreclosure.com, ordinary folks, not just investors, are becoming interested in bank-owned properties. Foreclosure.com lists almost two million distressed properties. The hard part is not filtering down to properties that meet your criteria; often, the hard part is getting banks to respond to offers. Fortunately, the level of detail provided by Foreclosure.com can give you helpful information for negotiating with banks
Best Tools for New Buyers
Buying a foreclosed home is complicated and understanding the process is the key to success. Zillow.com, one of the most recognized names in the online real estate business, provides a step-by-step guide for getting started and finding out what you want, from finding the best financing options for you to selecting the right home for your budget and lifestyle. Since this company operates nationwide, it will also match you with a real estate agent in your area.
More than just articles or videos, the Zillow guide provides a clear guide to the foreclosed property-buying experience. This comprehensive guide is best if you feel uncertain about entering the market and need something to accompany you each step of the way.
Zillow is one of the most popular foreclosure websites on the market. This powerful service offers a variety of tools to help you find the right foreclosed home, including guides to help you navigate the lengthy process of buying a foreclosed property and calculators that help you determine how much you can afford and what you will be paying overall and monthly.
Buying a Foreclosed Home
Buying a foreclosed home is a good way to get a great deal on a house. Since the bank is looking to unload the property, prices are likely to be lower. However, there are a few special considerations when you select this route to home ownership.
The first consideration is that these homes are bank owned and were repossessed after the owner was unable to make payments. Second, these homes are sold as is. In the normal home-buying process, there is a series of negotiations where the buyer and seller each make concessions. For example, maybe the water heater is old and needs replacing. So, the buyer would insist the seller replace the water heater before the sell is complete. When buying a foreclosed home, this is not an option. You simply take the house with all of its damage and potential problems. One last consideration is the paperwork. Since the home is owned by the bank, you will be required to fill out additional paperwork before the process is complete.
It is important to understand you will be working with multiple agencies when purchasing a foreclosed property. First, you use a foreclosure listing service, like the ones mentioned above and in our buying guide, to find the right property. However, that is just the first step. Once you find a property, the foreclosure website sets you up with a realtor in your area. It is important to choose a realtor with a good reputation and connections in the community, especially when buying a foreclosed property due to the extra paperwork requirements mentioned above. While some bank officers respond slowly to foreclosure requests, a realtor who has connections with your local bank can speed the process.
The home you select and the foreclosure listing service you use depends on the considerations and feature most important to you. We have narrowed the selection for you. Our articles on foreclosures and the following reviews are a good place to start your search process.

Partnerships allow SIDS to overcome challenges that are too difficult or complex for one country, organisation or sector to address alone. Partnerships also increase the effectiveness and impact of policy interventions and resource inputs.
The high-level five-year review of the Mauritius Strategy, conducted during the 65th UNGA session, highlighted the need to refocus efforts towards a results-oriented approach and to consider improved and additional measures to more effectively address the unique and particular vulnerabilities and development needs of SIDS. To this end, one of the primary aims of SIDSnet is to facilitate partnerships and motivate action in SIDS.
Looking for a Partnership?
SIDSnet's Partnerships Marketplace allows you to inform stakeholders that you are interested in initiating a partnership, either based on need or offer of resources/expertise. SIDSnet is planned to be integrated with the UN CSD Partnerships Database (as soon as it is revitalised), allowing SIDSnet users to come together to form partnerships and then register them with UN CSD.
The mission of the University Consortium of Small Island States [UCSIS] is to enhance the capacity of graduate education institutions in small island states by facilitating the development of the institutional and systemic capacity needed to implement the Barbados Programme of Action.

Derek asked the Naked Scientists: I remember the widespread media coverage regarding the Martian meteorite ALH84001, back in 1996. Researchers were suggesting that certain features in there resembled micro-fossils - i.e. evidence for life on Mars. For some time it was possible to follow the debate back and forth, but it is a long time ago now and it has all gone quiet. Was there ever a conclusion to this debate?Thanks,Derek McComiskey What do you think?
This meteorite received much attention after an electron microscope revealed structures that were considered to be the fossilized remains of bacteria-like lifeforms. As of 2005, scientific consensus was that the microfossils were not indicative of Martian life, but of contamination by earthly biofilms. However, in 2009, new analyses ruled out earthly and non-biological origins, presenting strong evidence of life on Mars.[18] ALH 84001 is as old as the basaltic and intermediate shergottite groups i.e., 4.1 billion years old.

Chapter 11
About an hour had passed and there was still no movement from Rafe, frozen, his eyes so cold matching his pale pallor. Eventually Grams had to round up some of the rare male Arcana relatives that were staying in the crooked house in order to move him. Placing him the only spare bedroom, mine.
When they placed him down his body still rigid Grams called for cousins and aunts to work their psychic 'magic' on him. This resulted in numerous experiments one of which involved burning a profuse amount of sage which consumed the whole of the house in a cloud of smoke. After choking on that, some of the more chanting specificrelatives stood around him holding hands mumbling in some unknown tongue.
If I counted correctly they had used just about every trick in the metaphorical book of 'how to be a descendant of the oracle'. At one point they did manage to undo his iron grip on the tourmaline and even forced him to lie down but those eerie eyes never rested. They all looked at me as if I had the answer and just left me alone with him. Over the past hours Rao had come and gone but now was having a "Long awaited snooze." As he had put it because "There's no need to worry." At which point i snorted and told him to go chew a bone... I don't quite think we're the best of friends at the moment.
With a sigh echoing around the now empty room, I sat next to Rafe on my favourite mahogany rocking chair laced with blue and green ribbons to match my favourite colour. My room was centred on these colours mainly emerald greens and the occasional flask of silver's and gold's. My bed was a patchwork of these colours and when I looked at Rafe they seemed to drown him into their centre.
Closing my eyes I pictured the rare moment where his golden eye's melted mine and I whispered to myself, a tiny hope reaching out to him "What is your story?" thinking of the wave of random flashes I received while talking to Cherry, that's how I knew his name was Raphael but how?
I concentrated resting my elbows on my knees, then my chin on my fisted hands I scrunched my eyes to try to remember... a hall filled with voices, whisper... a mirror but not my reflection... crown of thorns... shadows moving, shouting... that voice, that woman's voice that had possessed my Grams. I was her. But why?
I sigh frustrated and look over Rafe, admiring his muscular physique, strong jaw bones and gorgeous dark hair. Looking closely at his face just below his hairline I notice scars, mini pinpricks and I gasp as the quick successions of images appear in my head. Blood running down his sorrowful face... Tears I didn't know existed until they dripped to my hands began silently falling and i brought his hand to mine unsure of why I was even crying, why I was even so moved by him.
On the contact of our skin electric shot up my arm making me jump stupidly hard and I couldn't help but laugh at myself before regaining control and noticing a tiny smile on his lips as his eyes finally closed. A peaceful and young look settled over him, I relaxed as he relaxed. Matching my breathing to his, the warmth of the room made my eyes heavier and I drifted to sleep with my hand in his.
Surrounded by fog, stumbling, falling I feel blind. I call out but my voice echoes around in the fog filled land. Spinning in circles a small light fills the greyness and hope surges through me. I run hard and fast, flat footed straight towards it but with every distance I cover it seems to get further and further away.
I fall, my legs so tired from running. This time I call out "Help!" trying to return my breaths to normal speed. "Please, is anyone there?" unable to calm my heart-rate, gut wrenching sobs wrack my body and I feel so alone and lost like a five year old that has wandered too far ahead and looks back losing sight of its parent, its sense of security gone.
For what seems like forever I am alone and sobbing until eventually I am crying dry tears. A voice deep and at first raspy travels through the dense fog to me "Hello?" a resurgence of hope lifts me to my feet, the light mocking me in the distance seems to be getting closer. I shout back my ears ringing in the awaiting silence.
"Dahlia!" the voice mere meters away I run forward hoping that the light is him.
"Rafe!" I cry out as I run into him sobbing, again, tears of relief this time.
"I thought you were gone." He pulls me to him as I say it and though the fog was clear around us it seemed to be pressing closer. "I'm here, I'm sorry I didn't mean to go away." His hands stroked my hair as I pulled my arms around him squeezing tightly not letting him go. He chuckles and I peer up at him confused slightly, "It's only a dream Crazy Dee." He rests his head on mine and still confused I press my face into his chest. "I don't understand." I mumble and he holds me at arm's length a smile stretching but just missing his eyes.
"A dream, you'll wake up and not even remember this." He sighs and as pathetic as I am tears brim in my eyes. I go up on my tiptoes so that we are eye level and a small animal sound escapes his lips, his arms snaking around my waist pulling me closer.
He whispers in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "Hell with it, you won't remember anyway." Pulling me closer, thoughts whirring round my head, tilting my chin up towards his. I close my eyes and he closes his as our lips softly touch...
I wake with a jolt, my head lolling to the side and falling, snapping my neck to the side with a painful twinge, "Ow!" I exclaim forgetting where I was. I rub my neck realising where I am, I notice his hand still clasped in mine. A tingling still there and I can't help but feel my lips tingle to, but we were asleep as much as I want that kiss to happen, it won't. I tell myself off angrily.
Sitting up in the rocking chair and slowly removing my now numb hand from his, I stretch and concentrate on an escaping dream. All I remember is fog and a light. Creasing my forehead as I try and try to recall but nothing happens except a small throbbing of a building headache starting to make itself known.
"Great." I cringe, saying it louder than I first thought and Rafe mumbles in his sleep rolling over onto his side. His top rides up slightly revealing partial sight of perfectly shaped abs and a scar that seemed to stretch round from his hip and up his back. Temptation gets the better of me and my fingers begin to lightly trace the scar.
I blush as I realise I'm actually touching his waist and continue tracing very lightly, barely touching the puckered neat scar round up his back to where the shirt cuts it off. I notice his breathing has changed though his eyes are closed, my senses tell me he's not asleep anymore and I scramble away from him blushing a deep red, my cheeks burning. A breathy laugh escapes his lips as I throw myself into the rocking chair. He sits up with a small smirk on his face and ruffles his hair, his top falling down and I frown slightly in disappointment.
"Enjoying the show?" his voice deep, making my heart melt and all I can do is look away as he caught me looking at his gorgeous abs. All I can do is chastise myself and he seems to notice as he tucks me under my chin "Cheer up Dee, I'm here." The comment makes me snap my head in his direction, the phrase so familiar. He pretends to not notice by stretching and this time I avert my eyes, avoiding the temptation as much as I could. It felt as if it were a Pandora's Box wanting to be opened, his body wanting to be looked at.
I brush the comment away; maybe it was just me being silly. "You were... gone for awhile." I choose my words carefully; cautious of his reaction I keep my head looking down fiddling with my jean pocket. I really need to change. Feeling grubby all of a sudden I stand up and bump into him "You know we should really stop getting into these situations," he jokes "Your breaking my heart." I fumble with the edge of my t-shirt and look up at him through my brightly coloured fringe "Erm, Okay?" he just laughs at me and pecks my forehead. Walking out of the room as if yesterday hadn't even happened.
"Cheers Dee, I loved staying in your bed last night." I feel my cheeks begin to burn and throw a cushion at him as he closes the door a small snarl radiating from the back of my throat. "Jerk." I shout and hear him laugh down the hallway. Gathering my thoughts I decide to shower. Showers are the best time for thinking, with a sigh I let the hot steamy water roll over my body and escape to a world where things are simple and so much easier.

A gentle drop of water carefully trickled down my window pane, in the dimmed orange glow light of my office I slowly sat back in my chair and clicked off my earpiece. There was no doubt she would pass, unfortunately. The blonde half blood they had tasked me to look after was my own granddaughter, just like her father I presumed she would be a useless wastrel with no respect for our court and their line, I had even planned out her failure report in my head before they set foot in the forest.
"The half blood wasn't even born into our world, she hadn't even known who she was until a month or two back." I grumbled to myself, presuming I was alone in my office.
"Well I like her Cecil." A calm silken voice gentle as lilac made me spin quickly in my large black plush chair. "She has real talent and great leadership, you can't deny that."
"No, you can't." I muttered bitterly, "but surely we cannot let someone who doesn't even know a single faerie prayer become one of us! She may be truly gifted but there is still a lot of room for her to be an embarrassment"
Helena paused for a moment and readjusted the intricate golden headpiece she wore. "Cecil you know as well as I that she is already one of us. It would not matter if she passed or failed, she already has her wings, the spirits must have a great destiny for her." The thought of destiny was always around with Helena, she believed everyone was set out for something. Her eyes had wandered out through the window and out across the foggy tipped mountains ahead.
My words snapped her from her beloved daydream. "Nonsense! The spirits would not pick a human daughter of an abandoner to his race! The rules cannot be broken, if I choose not to pass her then her wings will be... removed, like anyone else who would dare have wings without passing a test."
"Cecil look once again at her blood, she is far more faerie than human, and tell me has the faerie in her not grown since she arrived here?" Helena's voice took a very commanding powerful tone. "We both know you cannot fail her Cecil, even you cannot be as blind to not see that Morgan of Ollerond is special, she may be new to us but the powers she possesses would be quite an achievement for someone of your age and nobility. Your son has called a meeting with us, you should be proud of them both."
I opened my mouth to contest her point but I found she had already silently departed the room. The young princess was powerful and wise with knowledge and skill past her short years even picking up the change in Morgan's blood, but it would not be her decision if I passed my granddaughter or not. Unfortunately I had been thinking for hours and come up with no way to justify failing her, she got three out of four lesser idols, reached the main idol and lead a group out of the woods, healing wounds, using wings she is physically not meant to have yet and controlling three affinities. I had even looked for rules about using more than one element in testing, but it seemed to have never happened before.
If I had made it my way she would be a broken pile of blood soaked bones buried under the ravine long ago, with her useless father beside her as the wolves slowly descended, leaving my line to my other son, childless he would be easy to dispose of and then Kain would continue our name. I didn't like the thought of killing off my children but if it was necessary for our family line to hold its place in council then I would have done it. If the line had meant anything to my youngest sons they would have stayed in our world and had full blood children like Kain did.
I shoved a small voice from the back of my mind but its words lingered where it had been. "Good thing you didn't have your way then, with the right attitude maybe she could be a very worthy heir." No she still had a long way to go before I would consent her take my position, she would defiantly need some careful watching.
I drummed my fingers against the old oak desk. I mumbled as I replayed her tests in my mind. She had excelled beyond expectations that was granted, I didn't like it but it was true. As a candidate she was incredible, as my granddaughter she would have to prove more to me over time. Just because she passed the test wouldn't mean she could survive in our world, just because she had powers didn't mean she could use them to their full extent.
If the point of my sons meeting was to parade his talented spawn around then there would still be time for him to end up under a lake. I grinned at this prospect, that would teach him to show his face here after not visiting for twenty years.

BRITAIN was braced for travel chaos this morning with snow forecast to cover
large areas.
Two to four inches could fall in the Peak District, Pennines and North York
Moors. East Anglia and Durham may see one or two inches.
Black ice and freezing fog was set to make this morning's commute treacherous,
before milder showers sweep through later.
But forecasters say the freeze will return on Wednesday and last until the
middle of the month.
Yesterday England was colder than ICELAND — with -7°C (19°F) recorded
in Cumbria.
Health chiefs told frail pensioners to stay inside.
Bookies cut the odds on a London white Christmas from 6-1 to 5-1.
Meanwhile, swimmers had to break the ice on a lake to go for a morning dip in

Having just read CHILDLESS AND LOVING IT (not the real name, but, I hope, the intent) I too, am also without kiddies and without husbands or divorces.
And I'm 57 years old, pretty much loving it (wrinkles I could do without as with arthritis) and I feel fairly accomplished about never married, and no children. Yes, I've been pregnant. So, I've just made some, if not enemies than emphatic disagree'ers.
.Now maybe that po' me stuff- the AADs and nearsightedness - makes it okay to just tell the good stuff I got in the birth package without undo modesty.
So, I was able to play piano (that was me at the school assembly playing 'Exodus' every year). Later, taught myself guitar, played alot of Joni Mitchell. And though I couldn't sing like her, or anyone else you'd want to listen to, sing I did. Mostly in my bedroom.
I saw I could draw - enough to get my Art teachers to make a fuss - and write well enough to get published once or thrice. Also made my living writing promotion for S&S.
I received a triple threat in the Arts. Graduated with a BA in English (something no one in my state, Florida, wants to learn it seems) Summa Cum Loudmouth. This distinction gives me the hoots since I was always called "meek the squeek" by my not so darling Grandmother and was generally the Listener in my family.
Competition did not come naturally to me and that's just what saying anything to my family took. Meanwhile, my brother got laughs on car trips saying louder what I'd just mumbled.
Back to graduation from college in Buffalo, where it's very cold 10 months of the year, on a frosty June day of my last days in school, I decided my watercolors showed that I was a talented and unique illustrator which meant I had to go live with my Dad.
So, cut to lots of years later; I found myself on the stage of one "Trubbles Comedy Club" in Manhattan. An all-girls revue. I mean venue. So I was not so meek anymore. And I did all the smaller clubs in Manhattan and Brooklyn and eventually worked my way up to Lower Upstate New York and even got paid.
The whole Standup thing only happened because of the Writers Guild Strike of '89. It seemed like just the right time to go to LA and sell my 'MoonLighting' script. I didn't realize that it meant I'd be a Strike Breaker. I wasn't really a TV writer or anything.
Wasn't such a good idea, turns out. Not so much. I totally believed in this strike as great TV, film, radio, plays - everything - depends on great writing. Little known secret: Arnold Schwartzenegger and most other actors do not write the lines as they speak them.
So no TV writing. Though, I had a great time living in a Sunset Strip motel, with, mostly, professional daters. Me, I'd just blast show tunes all night, and hunt for word processing jobs by day.
Eventually, Los Angeles, the Hollywood Hillswas my home. And a certain type became my good friends. Great, nice kids, but there, I never met a youngish (I was 34) person there who was just one thing.
They were all hyphenates; Director-Actor-Makeup Person-Wall Washer-Gaffer. Whatever was called for. And so I was called upon or dragged to a round of auditions. One was for a Game Show called 'SweetHearts' hosted by the great late Charles Nelson Reilly and I got the part.
Well, it was a part. They'd have 3 couples, 2 fake and 1 real. I was part of one of the fake couples. We got all three celebrities to vote us the real couple. Even Ned Beatty!
Because I hated this guy and showed it. He was a giant next to my elven smallness, a sandals-with-white socks wearer; and a bad smeller. He was also the idiot who thought that since we

Quick Links
The Spire team has attempted to address additional questions it has received from:
- company owners seeking liquidity or capital for expansion;
- executives seeking to partner with Spire to acquire a business;
- investors trying to better understand Spire's investment thesis and alpha;
- investment bankers seeking to cover Spire's industries of focus.
Question: Does Spire invest alongside other firms or investors? Answer: Spire often invests alongside other firms and investors. It is Spire's goal to partner with the most strategic resources available to develop the right investor base for the Company's growth aspirations and value added minds around the table.
Question: Does Spire require its investments to include majority control?Answer: Spire prefers to make control investments, but it is not a requirement of Spire's investment thesis.
Question: How much capital does Spire typically invest in a company and how is the investment structured? Answer: Spire typically invests from $15M to $40M in each of its companies. Spire invests in some form of the equity structure of the company; depending on the scenario, Spire's investment could be structured as preferred stock or common stock.
Question: How long does Spire normally hold its investment in its companies? Answer: Spire raises funds with a 10-year life. Spire typically invests in companies for 3-7 years, but each situation is custom and is evaluated with each of its specific attributes.
Question: What does Spire consider its Alpha? Answer: Spire professionals are true partners to each of our management teams and partner with them in setting goals for growth, culture building, strategy and everything in between. Spire has an extensive network of relationships in the industries we invest that help each of our companies form business relationships and better serve their customers and partners.
Question: Does Spire partner with executives seeking to be a CEO to find companies to acquire and partner together? Answer: Yes. Spire uncovers the companies in which it invests in a variety of ways including through executives of which Spire partners to find companies in a specific industry vertical in which they have expertise / past experience.

Question: Are there any over-riding themes in Spire's investment thesis regarding market opportunity? Answer: Spire invests in companies that have a significant market opportunity for organic growth and/or growth through acquisition. Spire terms this as "Buy & Grow" or "Buy & Build" scenarios. In each of Spire's 20+ platform companies the management teams and Spire have strategic discussions to identify opportunities to invest in new products/services for growth or expand geographically to drive growth. In at least half of Spire's investment companies, the management teams and Spire have worked together to identify opportunities to acquire other companies/competitors, or make add-on acquisitions, to enhance the profile of the company. In scenarios where additional capital will be required by portfolio companies to make add-on acquisitions, Spire typically sets this capital aside at the time of its initial investment to provide for future capital needs.
Question: Does Spire have a geographic preference for its investments? Answer: Spire concentrates its investment activities in the United States. Although Spire's companies are headquartered in the United States, all of Spire's portfolio companies have revenue streams generated from outside the United States ranging from 5% to 60% of total revenue.
Question: How does Spire describe its involvement with its portfolio companies? Answer: Spire invests in companies with management teams that have a vision to grow a company and the experience to effectively manage that type of growth environment. Spire does not intend to, or want to, operate the companies in which it invests. Spire plays an active Board role, business development role, C-level facilitation role and partner role that is required at any given time. Spire prides itself on helping its companies create value, help its management teams think through strategic decisions and drive growth by utilizing the global relationships our investment professionals have collectively developed over time.

We've traveled and stayed in many spectacular B&B's out East. I think we knew after our research that this would be a wonderful inn. But we had no idea how wonderful it would be! This is an extraordinary Bed and Breakfast in every way. Every single person was friendly but not obsequious. They helped but didn't hover. The breakfast was better than any we've had...anywhere. The nightly cookies were addictive! The fact that this is a very, very dog friendly inn (as well as city) only makes it more special. Our Zoe wasn't just tolerated....she was welcomed! We had a "welcome doggie package", offers of babysitting while we did our thing and lots of hugs and kisses. Before we walked out the door, we knew that we would return. This is the real thing. This is the place to stay while in Saratoga Springs!

Not knowing anything about Saratoga Springs, picking Union Gables as our "home base" was the best thing we could have done! Victoriana, Luxury, Comfortable, Convenient! Our stay in the GEORGE House was wonderful.......everything at our fingertips! Gardens, babbling fountains, private parking, wrap-around porch! An easy walk to the Oklahoma Training Track for a Saturday morning tour, as well as the center of town, with it's many restaurants and shops. Saratoga Springs has so much to offer..............and one of them is the UNION GABLES B&B!
4.6 on June 14, 2016
Sixth yearly stay in Saratoga Springs at six different B&B's. By far the best experience. Owner / hosts the most accommodating and the most informative and were readily available for info on points of interest and dinning tips. Definitely a must on our return trips.....

From the moment we made our reservation, Union Gables was exemplary in ever manner. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food absolutely delicious. The room incredibly relaxing. We could want for nothing more in our stay....

Thank you so much for always making us feel at home and pampered at this special love location in Saratoga, NY.

We can't say enough about our stay at Union Gables. It's an absolutely beautiful home and very conveniently located to the downtown area. We brought our dog with us and not only are dogs accepted, they are welcomed. There was a blanket, water dish, and treats in our room just waiting for her. She enjoyed joining us for the evening wine and snacks in a beautifully appointed sitting room. Breakfasts were amazing! There are so many choices and one is more delicious than the next. The French toast and omlets really stood out. Jane could not have been a more gracious hostess. Our every request was met with a smile and positive attitude. We felt right at home from the minute we arrived until we had to leave. Looking forward to a return trip!

We spent three days at this inn with two other couples and were very impressed with the quality of the rooms and the service. Jane and Page could not have been nicer. They were attentive to every detail. We would definitely return again.

This was our first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and we were so happy to have found Union Gables. It was my husband's birthday and upon arrival, there was a birthday card in the room for him. Such a nice personal touch. The entire Inn and premises were super clean. We were very impressed by the architecture and decor. The staff was very welcoming, polite and accommodating. The complimentary wine, before dinner hours, was a wonderful way to wind down from our long drive. Wine in hand, we explored the beautifully maintained property and garden areas, in ground heated pool area and spacious relaxing front porch. Prior to leaving for dinner, we enjoyed a game of pool in the billiards room. The Inn was centrally located, within walking distance to great dining, shopping and pubs that hosted night entertainment. It was also a very short drive to the casino, which was a wonderful way to end our evening. The made to order breakfast and service was great, hosting a separate room filled with fresh fruit, juices, breads, yogurt, mini muffins. They also had great coffee and selection of Stash teas (available throughout the day/night). We stayed in the Edward room, which was spacious with and en suite, filled with natural sunlight, a comfortable king sized bed and lovely decor. All in all, our stay at Union Gables was a wonderful and memorable experience.

My siblings and I are located across the US so we found Saratoga Springs to be a perfect meeting place. Our decision to stay at the Union Gables was 1st based on the confidence and warmth from the reservation phone call with Jane. Carla and Jane (& chef Bruce) made our stay more than perfect! Elegant yet casual, historical enlightenment, superb food and service. We visited every area of the Inn and sat in every seating and fireplace area! We loved it so much we are returning for a summer retreat visit and a winter visit to celebrate our birthdays! Jane, our Innkeeper was instrumental in our success of our family reunion. As we hugged farewell I found myself with a tear in my eyes, as I knew I would truly miss Union Gables and look forward to a speedy return!! Thank you all for such a beautiful experience.
4.6 on March 02, 2015
We finally got to enjoy, so much, a stay at Union Gables after having driven by it during the last 30 years! Thanks to Tom and Jane for making us feel right at home from the minute we arrived to the last cup of coffee before leaving. Our only regret was that we did not have a chance to spend more time relaxing in front of the fireplaces and taking in the beauty and comfort of our surroundings. But we will rectify that in the future! Sarah & Wally Morrison

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of hosting a live chat on the new book The Cross and Gendercide: A Theological Response to Global Violence Against Women and Girls by Elizabeth Gerhardt. The compelling and timely conversation featured Gerhardt, a theology and social ethics professor, and guests Shayne Moore (author, blogger, activist), Kyle Roberts [Read More…]
In Praise of Heretics
The word "heretic" is often thrown around today to denounce someone for espousing an idea deemed "unbiblical" or "unorthodox" or "contrary to the teachings of the church." It carries a negative connotation, often meant to cast a poor soul out of a community to be shunned, exiled, and sometimes even tortured with words or sharp [Read More…]
The Cross and Gendercide: A Book Review
Elizabeth Gerhardt's The Cross and Gendercide is without hesitation among (if not the) most convicting, thought-provoking, well-researched, biblically-grounded, and empowering text on the church's responsibilities toward women that I have read. [Read more…]

Ripoff Report
Triangle Plumbing and BackflowInternet USA
Triangle Plumbing and Backflow AKA Triangle Plumbing Installed improper size gas line for generator (per manufacturer) & refuses to correct problem-argues that gas company and generator manufacturer are wrong Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Provider was supposed to install a 1.25 inch gas line from gas meter to backup generator located on other side of house. Job required trenching, obtaining permits, passing inspections, running the 1.25 inch gas line, connecting line to gas meter and generator. Approx distance of 110 feet.
How'd it go? Here are my experiences with this company:
It went only part way.
* Triangle Plumbing did do the trenching.
* Triangle Plumbing installed a 3/4 inch gas line instead of the 1.25 inch line previously agreed to.
* The generator requires a 1.25 inch line to operate properly in event of a power failure.
* Installer was shown the generator installation guide which specifies a 1.25 inch line.. Installer said "the book is wrong."
* In addition, I called the manufacturer to verify and they too stated that 1. [continued below]....
Since no progress has been made on a resolution, Triangle Plumbing has been told to recover the 3/4 inch line that they installed. Triangle Plumbing has not done so and after four and a half weeks of excuses and arguments from them I have a 110 foot length of unusable pipe and an uncovered ditch in my back yard.
Since I have already paid 50% of total cost of this project, apparently provider has decided to abandon project and just keep my money.
Triangle Plumbing has failed to complete this project, meet my needs as a customer and prefers to argue than to make it right. The work done to date is unsatisfactory and incomplete. No attempt to resolve this matter has been made by Triangle Plumbing except to say I can have a Cary inspector come out and inspect it.
I am extremely unhappy and do not recommend this company as it is clear that the owner does not care about meeting agreements. I have emails from Jamie Peeler at Triangle Plumbing to back up my claims/experiences with this company should anyone wants copies.

[A]ny notion that Australian universities can mimic the US model of endowment funding is particularly absurd. The largest endowments at Australian universities are about $1.2 billion. That number would place schools like Monash, the University of Melbourne, and ANU on par with Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, the 71st highest endowment in the US. All are excellent universities that attract bright students and have brilliant faculty.
The problem is, while a school like Monash has 55,000 students, Lehigh has 7000. This means the per student endowment, the number that really matters when it comes undergraduate education and faculty research, is roughly eight times higher at Lehigh than at Monash.What should be done? Adams writes:
Australia is already doing quite well in world university rankings at the per capita level and the way to improve what is already a world-class university system is not to adopt an American approach but to do the opposite. Subsidise tuition so students do not have to go into debt to follow their dreams. Expand staff so that students can develop closer relationships with their professors. Fund research so that Australian faculty can continue to make groundbreaking contributions across all fields of inquiry. These are the proven ways to build an equitable higher education system that would be the envy of the world.And to conclude,
Buzzwords like choice and competition only serve to mask the fact that Abbott and Pyne's plan will send Australia down a one-way street towards a US system that is broken and increasingly unfixable.

Cast iron mailbox is durable. It is able to withstand almost any ruin. It will resist more pressure and weight. Even, if we set this cast iron mailbox post with concrete, a tornado or a car hit will not be able to remove it. Then, this mailbox is also able to keep heavier and bigger packages and mails. When we compare it with the aluminum mailbox, aluminum will just keep less weight. If we have a lot of packages, we need to install a larger capacity mailbox.
Cast iron mailbox is one of mailbox materials options we can choose besides wood and aluminum. Wooden and aluminum mailboxes are much more lightweight than cast iron. Wooden and aluminum mailbox is easily damage from the weather and other abuse. The wooden mailbox is also not resistant to moth and mildew.

Who is Dr. FinchMature
I must have blacked out again, when I opened my eyes Nathan was sitting on the bed with his back towards me. He was on the phone with his mom, The volume on his phone was high and I could hear her voice.
"Nathan Dr. Finch called and said you missed your session this week," his mother tells him.
" I don't need that damn shrink or the meds, they make me feel off," he barked back at her.
"I'm just looking out for you, remember what happened to those girls in Kansas city don't you? All those innocent girls, because you were off your meds. It's not wonder Mandy hasn't figured you out yet," His mother finished with a deep sigh.
What his mother knows about his mood swings, and there are more girls? I was beginning to think my chance of survival was slimmer by the second.
"Where is Mandy now?" Nathan's mom asked.
"She is tied up with Cindy right now, visiting family in Florida," he snickered.
"Well her mother is worried about her, she might stop by later," his mother says.
"Well she isn't here like I said, now I have to go," Nathan said has he hung up his cell.
He was right about one thing, I was tied up. Tied to my own restraints while my best friend lies dead in the basement below me.
I closed my eyes as her turns his head, but he shakes me.
"Mandy are you awake baby?" he asks
What? Is here crazy he just raped me repeatedly, and has been holding me prisoner and he wants to call me baby. I had to play nice, I was starving and it was two days since I last ate. Ok time to role play, lay on the sweetness.
"Yes I'm hungry baby can you make me something?" I ask him.
He smiles at me as if everything is normal, "Of course be back in a few.
When he left the room I tried to wiggle out of the restraints, but they were to tight. My legs were mot bound, but if I made to much noise he would hear me. I looked around the room for anything that my legs could drag to me to loosen the restraints. Then Nathan was back in the room again.
"Here you go honey," He says handing me left over pizza he microwaved.
He was acting calm, so I figures my chances of asking him to let me go may be in reason.
"Baby do you really need to keep my hands tied? I can't even eat my Pizza," I said as he fed it to me.
"Yes they are necessary, as a matter of fact I have some errands to run so back to the basement with you when you finish eating," he muttered.
"What? I am your wife how can you treat me like this?" I tried to reason with him.
"Exactly why I will do as I please, maybe if your good I will bring back some real food," he laughed as he took the plate to the kitchen.
"Who is Dr. Finch" I asked.
"What? Who have you been talking to?" he screamed at me.
"I heard you on the phone with you mother," I confessed.
"Are you sick Nathan? We can get you help honey," I tired to sound concerned.
"Help? a lot of good that did when my father was beating me, my mom was drinking her life away, and the girl I loved broke my heart," He spat.
"Help Mandy, is for sucker!" he said as he dragged me to the basement.
I gasped when I saw Cindy's body still at the bottom of the stairs. In response he told me he was going to dump her body in a field in the country. He threatened to do the same to me if I tried to escape.
" Now be a good girl while I'm gone," Nathan said as he shoved me in the small room and locked it.
There was no kindness in his eyes, he was no longer the guy I kissed in my tree house.
The Nathan I knew was gone.

Trust MeMature
"Hey Renegade, how are you feeling?" Dante asked grabbing her hand; she looked at him her eyes holding hatred.
"That's a stupid question, how do you think I'm feeling." She spat slowly sliding up the bed to sit up; Zira walked over to her bedside seeing her wounds had been freshly bandaged.
"Who did this to you?" Zira asked her words dripping with anger.
"Damien did."
"Did he rape you?" She asked Renegade shook her head no as Dante growled.
"Then how are you pregnant!?" Dante yelled, Zira glared at him and sighed.
"Dante you need to get out, I need to speak to Renegade ALONE." She said pushing him out of the room. She shut the door and sat in a chair next to the hospital bed.
"Let's start with this, who is Damien?"
"He is Dante's father; he threatened me and said to stay out of the way because he needs you and Dante, for something."
"And what did he do to you exactly?"
"He kicked me in the ribs, and shoved his hand through my back threatening to paralyze me. I felt him place something in me, but it felt like a fire or poison coursing through my muscles. I never expected it to be a baby. I can't have this child, it will kill me, I can't have the child of the man I love's father. Zira what am I going to do?" She asked crying, her body heaving with the force of her tears. Zira got up and hugged Renegade quietly hushing her.
"I will find a way to make sure this baby dies without hurting you, even if that means I have to go back to our world, to do it."
"Your world? What are you talking about?"
"We believe that I am the princess of the Kivuli race Xaviera, and my sister is Melina princess of the Kalviyre race. There is a way to get back to our land in our era; it was on page 666 of the book you told Dante about. It requires a witch to perform the ceremony."
"We have to do, I don't care if it kills me, I can't have this baby. I WON'T allow it."
"Then you have to kill me in order to perform it."
"No, what if it doesn't work, then Dante will be devastated, he clearly loves you, love at first sight-"Renegade screamed in pain holding her stomach. Dante came running in a looked at Renegade withering in pain.
"Get it out of me!" She screamed as Zira held her softly.
"I will just hang in there, we just need you well enough to do the spell-"
"You want her to do that fucking thing when she's like this-"
"This is the only way to save her from having your father's child!" She shouted making Dante's eyes go wide.
"My father . . . but he's dead, my mother said so."
"Dante we have to do the ceremony, we have no choice, if our father is here attacking those we love we need to retreat and plan out an attack plan." Zira heard Luca say, she glanced over to see Namine nodding in agreement.
"Then it's settled, we do the ceremony on the full moon when the moon is at its apex." Zira said squeezing Renegade's hand.
"I will get you out of here." She whispered walking out of the door followed by the rest of the crew.
"How are we going to get her out of here, she is still in the ICU they won't discharge her-" Zira interrupted Dante's rambling by kissing him gently.
"Don't worry about that, right now I need you, Namine and Luca to go back to the wolf sanctuary and get everything set up for the spell, do you know Leon has the necklace?"
"When Luca and Namine drove over here Leon gave it to your sister, but what are you going to do.'
"Don't worry about me, just go." Zira said watching him reluctantly nod and lead the others out. She sighed and walked out the floors secretary and smiled.
"Hi, sorry to bother you I was just checking on the status of Renegade Imani, I would like to take her out just a few hours to get her out of here it's our usual anniversary date night. Do you think she is well enough to go out?" Zira asked as politely as possible, she could tell by all of the pictures on the woman's desk that she was in a same sex marriage and happily so at that. The stocky dark brown haired woman grabbed Renegades chart and looked it over, sighing heavily.
"I'm sorry hun, Doctor Nevarez said that she won't be ready for discharge until next week depending on how she does over this weekend."
"Oh. . . I really was hoping to at least brighten my girlfriend's night by taking her out, but if that's what he stated, I won't push any further, since it is about her health."
"Well, now wait a minute sugar, let me page him and see if he can examine her real quick and give you the authority to take her out." The secretary said smiling brightly through her southern drawl. She quickly dialed a number on the pager and smiled at Zira.
"He will be here shortly."
"Oh thank you so very much!" Zira said cheerfully walking over to the wall and sitting down in the chair, keeping her cheery demeanor. Keeping this façade up was growing tiresome and annoying, how could anyone be this cheerful all the time?
"Hello miss are you here regarding Miss Imani?" Zira heard a rather soothing voice say from down the hall. She stood up and looked at the bald man, he wasn't Mc. Steamy by any means but he wasn't Quasimodo. He had pretty hazel eyes that were just above his high rosy cheekbones which was the only real prominent bone structure that laid in his round face.
"Yes sir, it's our usual date night, and I can tell she is getting depressed by staying here is there any way possible that I can take her out for a couple of hours?" She asked following the doctor into the room. The doctor poked and prodded Renegade checking her charts.
"I'm sorry but date night is just going to have to wait, she is in no position to be out." Doctor Nevarez said, Zira felt her eye twitch at being told no, she let out a disappointing sigh and walked toward the cabinet seeing a syringe with the words Sodium Pentathol. She smirked and quickly slid it into her sleeve of her jacket and walked back over to him.
"Are you sure she can't leave just for two hours?" She asked politely again, he shook his head no and began walking away.
"I'm sorry but she cannot leave-"
"Then I'm sorry I have to do this to you." Zira said dryly stabbing the syringe into his neck and injecting him quickly; he gasped and fell to his knees slowly falling unconscious. Zira laughed and dragged him over to Renegade and sat him on the chair near her.
"Come on Renegade, wake up-"Zira said seeing Renegade wide awake and waiting patiently.
"Why would you do that, we are going to get caught-"
"Trust me Renegade, I WILL get you out of here." She said walking out of the room to find a wheel chair.

Anyone Familiar with AKJ Concealco holsters?
I ran across their website and the product looks real nice.
Any thoughts on their quality/durability.
If they are as good as they look to be, the price is very good.
I'm wanting one with a sweat shield for a G26.
Have one on order and should be here any day, I'll let you know.
They are excellent! I have two of their Ambidextrous IWB holsters and they are made well, very comfortable and conceal very well. Personally I don't like sweat shields; I'd much rather wear a "wife beater" under my shirt.

I own a few for "J" frames and Colt "D" frames. Very functional, well built and great customer service, the ambi function is great also as from time to time I switch the side I carry on.
I own two, one for a j frame smith and one for a k frame smith, really like them a lot.
"Don't start none, won't be none!"
O.K. I'm an old guy and I don't know what you are referring to as a "wife-beater". 'Splain,please.
Its a traditional sleeveless undershirt.
I have an ambidextrous model for my XDM. I found it to be a quality holster. For me, it is quite comfortable and even with a larger gun like the XDM, it still conceals well with just an untucked shirt.
I'm 72 and I don't think I ever heard a sleeveless undershirt called a "wife beater"! Muscle-shirt, redneck tuxedo, yes. Guess I just didn't make the old movie connection.
Thanks for enlightening me!
AKJ Concealco Andrew is the real deal. I have two flashlight holsters and an Ambi Front Loop IWB for my M&P 40c. He sold me an extra loop for very little and threw in some hardware for free. Good quality.
You can reach him by phone in the early evening.
What he says about shipping time ain't necessarily so. He didn't ship until a month after he charged my card, last time. Y'all say you're expecting "any day". It's probably going to be a lot of days. Just telling you how it is.

text: "The proposal we are unveiling today is visionary, transformational and we believe would create the world's best Integrated Resort right here in downtown Sydney," Mr O'Neill said."This is a pivotal moment. What we are proposing is a real game-changer for the city and the State that will help deliver the Premier's ambition to make NSW number 1 again. "If approved, our plans will complete Sydney's new feature precinct, integrating Barangaroo, Darling Harbour and Pyrmont and contribute greatly towards the ambitious goals set by the NSW Government which aim to double overnight visitor expenditure to NSW by 2020. "Our proposal complements the NSW Government's vision for a revitalised Pyrmont and Darling Harbour precinct and will simplify transport options for millions of Sydneysider trips each year. "Importantly, the people of Sydney and NSW will also benefit if our proposal is approved," Mr O'Neill said. Mr Redmond said that Echo's plans would further improve upon the benefits The Star already provides to NSW. "Since 1995, The Star is estimated to have already contributed around $4 billion in taxes, licence fees and other charges to the NSW Government, and GST to the Commonwealth Government," Mr Redmond said. "As part of our plans today, we are giving the NSW Government the option of exclusivity payments totalling $250 million and a further tax contribution of $1 billion for the duration of the extended exclusivity. "We are already one of the largest single site employers in Sydney and once our expansion plans are completed, The Star will be providing jobs for more than 5,750 people. "We are home to The Darling, which is the only new five star hotel built in Sydney since the 2000 Olympics. We will further add to this by building two brand new hotels which will mean The Star will be home to a total of 1,150 hotel rooms for tourists. "The Star is already one of the leading tourist destinations in Sydney and NSW but our plans are expected to attract an additional 330,000 international and interstate visitors per year. "I have been in this business all my life and there is not an Integrated Resort anywhere in the world with a better location than The Star, and the opportunity to build a complex of this scale and on such a site should be a huge magnet to overseas visitors wanting to visit Sydney.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Please note that despite increasing the number of entries for this year's race we are now over two thirds full. If you are planning to run, don't delay.
We have listened to last year's feedback and offer the following for this year's race:
An improved system to iron out the flaws in last year's number collection process. In addition we plan to offer an opportunity for local runners to collect the day before the race.
A superb prize on offer to the race winner of the use of a rather sexy Hyundai Veloster sports coupe for a weekend. We are in further discussions to secure one for first lady too
A long sleeve hi-viz technical tshirt as race momento
Plus all of the usuals - chip timing, bottled water, great marshalls & fantastic cakes. What more do you want?
Sorry guys, no medal for our race. We have debated the issue of medals many times & have decided not to award a medal, but to provide a really good quality running top as our race momento and keep the cost of entry to a maximum of £20
To do this and use chip timing and provide bottled water out on the course, something had to give and we took the decision that medals were probably the least important aspect of the race, certainly in terms of value for money
You may not agree, but hopefully you'll understand
Just over a month to go until the race & we now have only 90 of 1000 places left to fill
Last chance saloon !
I'm informed that as of this morning, we now have just 8 places still available for our race on 2 September
Thanks for your support
Race is now **SOLD OUT**
Thanks again for your support for our race
I have a spare entry for Kenilworth Half 2012 on Sunday 2nd September (race is now full). I entered ages ago but will now be away that week. Please message me if you're interested! (Organisers will allow number transfer until the Friday before the event)
Two spare places for Kenilworth Half 2012 on Sunday 2nd September. I can arrange transfer of places to you if interested. A fantastic and well organised event with a high quality Brooks shirt (in 2010 and 2011). Let me know if interested.

Why would anyone rent a goat?
When I was in college, my friends and I rented a house in Providence. That spring, a few of my roommates wanted a mascot for their new literary journal, the Philtrum Press, and they settled on a goat named Phil. Phil kept our backyard nicely mowed (and fertilized). We thought that Phil was great (our landlords did not), but it never occurred to us that we might turn Phil's voracious appetite into a business.

The bottom line is that many pet owners are reluctant, rather than enthusiastic, customers of a boarding kennel. So the market has responded and we're seeing the emergence, across the country, of higher end boarding facilities that cater to pet owners who want a great experience for their dog while owner and dog are separated. Just another example of Value Leadership in action.
