"In the absence of rain, this series of fires is a campaign that may go on for many weeks," the authorities said.
"It is unprecedented in recent history - a one in 100 year event."
Yesterday afternoon, six houses and a car were burned in the famous Mt Hotham ski village, while another six homes were lost at the historic Cobungra station, including at least part of the View Estate holiday village.
Three buildings were burned north of Benambra and at least one was destroyed near Omeo.
Three vital bridges were also lost, cutting crucial road links.
The Livingstone and Hinnomunjie Bridges over the Mitta Mitta River near Benambra were lost, as was Gibbo's Bridge on the Benambra-Corryong road.
The wind changed just before the fires reached Omeo, but the 180 degree wind change to the south-west brought havoc to the townships of Harrietville, Wandiligong, Mt Beauty, Mitta Mitta, Towong and Towong South in the early hours of the morning.
Wind gusts of up to 35kph changed the direction of the 120km-long fire front, bringing it up to the outskirts of some settlements.
Jim Brown, who runs the Blue Duck Inn at Anglers Rest, lost his home yesterday, and had to battle to save the historic pub.
"I could see the fire coming up the valley ... I've got a lot of trees around my place, and the tops just started to go and I said I'm out of here," Mr Brown told radio 3AW.
"When I got down the road I just saw my house just explode.
"But as my dear old Dad said, if you can replace it with money it wasn't worth much to start with."
The fires, which were started by lightning strikes 20 days ago deep in sparsely populated bush, have prompted the largest emergency service operation in the state's history.
Emergency Service Commissioner Bruce Esplin said a total of 25 government, volunteer and private agencies involving more than 5,000 people had been involved in the fight.
"In Victoria's history it's the largest multi-agency incident that this state has had to deal with," he told Melbourne radio 3AW.
"It really is a huge exercise."
He said emergency organisations had learned lessons from previous disasters, including the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires in Victoria and South Australia in which 76 people were killed, and 2,000 homes destroyed.
"One of the strengths of Victoria's emergency management system and its emergency services is that we're never satisfied; it's a continuous improvement," he said.
"You can go back to 1983, and that's where Victoria learned a lesson.
"There were many many heroes in 1983, but some of our systems perhaps let us down."

Yet another coach is out at Chivas Guadalajara, with Efrain Flores the latest of eight to lose his job since upstart owner Jorge Vergara bought the team in 2002. His crime? Losing three consecutive games in the Mexican First Division.
Although Chivas leads Group 6 in the prestigious Copa Libertadores, Flores' 18-month run at the helm came to an abrupt end after a
1-0 decision at the hands of Tigres on Sunday that dropped the Goats to fifth place out of six teams in Group Two of the league's Clausura season.
Since new ownership took over,
Mexico's most popular team has won just one of a possible 13 championships in that span, dismissing the likes of Xavier Azkargorta, Eduardo de la Torre, Jose Manuel de la
Torre, Benjamin Galindo, Daniel Guzman and Hans Westerhof (twice) along the way.

Using ShowLegend
After loading Mathematica 6 package PlotLegends`, the following input
gives errors of the form
PlotLegends`Legend is not a Graphics primitive or directive.
Why, and how should one actually do this? (The Documentation Center
pages for ShowLegend and Legend together with the one example on the
page for ShowLegend is not sufficient help for me.)
Note that it does not seem to be possible to use, instead of the
ShowLegend wrapper, the PlotLegend option within the Plot expression, as
I seem to have no control over the styling of the labeled lines that
appear in the legend. (At least neither the documentation for PlotLegend
does not indicate how to do this.)

Hello everyone.
Looking to get the new car insured in BC. I need an out of province inspection done. It is the old Audi TT from Ontario.
Years ago I had to do the same with the Integra out of the U.S. and it was difficult to find someone then as well.
We all know it is a race car and things need to be overlooked. But also the safest car on the road.
Thanks for your help in advance.

webMathematica and MSPLive3D
Hi all,
has anyone tried webMathematica in combination with MSPLive3D?
I have found it only works with simple plotting-functions.
If Histogram3D or SectorChart3D was used, it did not work.
Looks like the function provided wasn't tested with the
more complex 3D-functions. Is there any idea in this newsgroup
how to bring these functions to live (possibly by convertig the
graphics image produced by the 3D-Functions).
Kind regards to all

When it comes to access to energy, the world is unfair. Two billion people on the planet are energy privileged and don't even question the idea of having energy. On the other hand, 1.3 billion still do not have reliable access to electricity. The sources of electricity to which they have access are polluting and expensive – flashlights, kerosene, and wood-based biomass.
What is even more unfair is that the poorest people pay the most for energy. Urban inhabitants in Beijing, Paris, and New York spend between 6-8% of their revenue on energy, while a person living in an off-grid, remote village in India will spend up to 30% for a poor service quality.
Schneider Electric and access to energy
For many years, Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management with operations in more than 100 countries, has been involved in access-to-energy programmes. Most notably, it has set up the Business, Innovation and People at the Base of the Pyramid (BipBop) programme in 2009 to:
• Develop a cost-effective portfolio of products and solutions providing access to energy for low income populations and creating markets adapted to local socio-economic contexts in order to meet local needs for equipment.
• Provide financial, technical, and managerial support to SMEs and entrepreneurs in the field of access to energy through an impact investment fund in order to stimulate the local economy.
• Create training in energy management trades for disadvantaged youths in order to promote the local long-term skills and expertise development.
BipBop operates as a start-up. Its unique positioning within the group makes it a transversal programme with a central team of approximately 17 people in France and India supported by several worldwide operational and business entities. Top management is deeply engaged in the programme, thereby ensuring it integrates the breadth of expertise needed. Three years after its launch, the programme succeeded in balancing support and guidance from the central team, and field implementation and learning from the decentralised team of collaborators.
The programme is actively supported by employees on the ground. They constitute a network of key contacts for the design, management and monitoring of projects. They contribute their knowledge of the local context (eg on how civil society, local authorities, and private sector are organised locally) and guarantee that the project is aligned with local needs. Their presence is crucial to the long-term oversight of projects in which Schneider Electric is involved.
BipBop impact investment fund: investment in NICE International in the Gambia
NICE International is a social venture in Eastern Africa and the Gambia. Through its NICE-brand and micro-franchise concept, the company already implemented seven ICT service centres in Gambia. The business concept is to sell services using energy generated through a hybrid solar-grid or solar-genset system. NICE International plans to extend to 250 centres in 10 countries starting with Tanzania and Zambia. Plans are also underway to start developing value-added services such as e-healthcare or e-banking.
BipBop products and solutions: decentralised rural electrification in Nigeria
Nigeria has over 160 million inhabitants of whom 60% live in rural areas with few or none having access to energy. By combining the technologies developed in the frame of BipBop and the skills and competencies of Nigerian teams, Schneider Electric electrified the Asore community, a village of about 250 inhabitants, in less than five weeks combining dedicated off-grid products and solutions. As a result of this collaboration with the government, 16 more villages will receive the villasol systems thanks to public funding. It is expected to replicate the model in other villages in Nigeria.
BipBop training: vocational training to basic electricity skills in 23 centres in India
Schneider Electric India launched the Electrician's Training Program (ETP) to develop skilled manpower in the electrical sector in India. Together with 13 partners, the company set up 89 training centres in 23 states, providing vocational training in electricity for residential and commercial buildings to underprivileged young people throughout India.
In addition to technical issues, participants are trained on spoken English, computers, customer interaction and entrepreneurship. The programme is certified by Schneider Electric India and its partners, which helps students gain recognition from their employers. By 2012, vocational training in electrical trades was provided to 4,500 students, with an additional 300 low income entrepreneurs receiving support to start their own business in the electrical sector.
Overall BipBop impact
By 2012, the BipBop programme supported six SMEs in the field of access to energy and job integration; provided access to energy to 1.5 million households; and created almost 40 training projects in energy management which trained almost 23,000 people.
Through its Planet and Society Barometer, Schneider Electric has set out 14 sustainability performance indicators for a period of three years. Between 2012 and 2014, two of these are connected to BipBop programme.

Music Review and Giveaway: Cradle Rock (Ends 11/25) CLOSED
Thursday, November 11, 2010 Posted by Dina N
Cradle Rock is just what it sounds like - rock (music) for the cradle. And also country music, with more styles coming up. It is intended to get your little one - and possibly you - all relaxed, drowsy and ready to nod off with lullaby versions of old favorites.
Cradle Rock is a series of lullaby albums produced and created by Brash Music and Tree Top Records. I received the first three CDs, just released on October 25. Cradle Rock uses vibraphones, glockenspiels and mellotrons to turn familiar melodies into easy listening for the naptime crowd. The ones I got are the lullaby version of Michael Jackson's Thriller - aptly called Trillaby - as well as a Kenny Chesney compilation and another one with Johnny Cash songs. The albums are purely instrumental, but anyone can sing along - with an appropriately soothing tone of voice, of course.
We listened to these CDs in the car, as well as at home in the evening to help transition to bedtime. The music has a calming, relaxing effect, although using the same instruments makes some songs hardly distinguishable from one another. As every parent knows, sometimes a little bit of monotony can be a good thing. Some of the melodies seemed better suited for these particular instruments. I easily recognized most of the originals, and my kids and I enjoyed listening to the CDs. My favorite among the three is Trillaby, with the lullaby version of Billie Jean my top choice.
Other Cradle Rock albums now in development include U2's "The Joshua Sleep Tree," Black Eyed Peas' "Sleep-pea Hits" as well as lullaby albums inspired by Nickelback, Carrie Underwood and The Eagles. Connect with Tree Top Records on Facebook.
The Giveaway
One reader will win a Cradle Rock CD of their choice! The winner will choose among the lullaby versions of Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash or Kenny Chesney.
To enter, please leave a comment below which CD you would pick if you won.
You may do any and all of the following for extra chances to win:
- follow me on twitter and tweet about this giveaway, feel free to copy and paste: "#Win a Cradle Rock lullaby CD from @TreeTopRecords and @aitmama! #Giveaway ends 11/25 #contests #music #kids #baby http://tiny.cc/lgp9u" – you may do this once a day;

Shake Up in Copenhagen
Lars Loekke Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister, steps up to become president of the climate conference in Copenhagen today.
Meanwhile, Danish police say more than 200 protesters in Copenhagen are trying to disrupt a proposed forest preservation plan.
The Associated Press reports the demonstrators say they want to take over the United Nations summit and turn it into a "people's assembly." Police have detained many of them and are using tear gas and batons to disperse the crowds. None of the activists have been able to break into the conference center.
The New York Times reports environmental groups have long advocated such a compensation program because forests are efficient absorbers of carbon dioxide, and the primary heat-trapping gas linked to global warming.
The plan will be debated in the final days of the 193-nation conference, as major world leaders, including President Barack Obama, begin to arrive. President Obama is expected to arrive Friday. In addition to the proposed forest preservation plan, the leaders will discuss greenhouse gas emissions targets, monitoring gas emissions and doling out financial aid to developing countries.
Up until today Connie Hedegaard had been the president of the conference. Hedegaard said she was happy to turn over the reigns to Loekke Rasmussen due to the high number of world leaders arriving.

Light fantastic ... the elusive aurora borealis. Photograph: M Scott Moon/AP
This week in our wonders of the world series we focus on nature. We have selected awe-inspiring sites that have graced our planet since long, long before the first shoots sprouted in the hanging gardens of Babylon or the pharaoh Khufu took his first steps. Most of our choice of wonders will be familiar to anyone who ever opened a school geography book: Mount Everest, the Grand Canyon and the Great Barrier Reef are places we can all visualise. But perhaps it's good to be reminded what splendid things they are.
Our selection, which echoes a list produced by CNN in 1997, includes a couple of wonders with which readers may be less familiar - the Paricutin volcano and the harbour at Rio de Janeiro may not be on many people's lists of "places to see before I die". Some European readers might have nominated the Giant's Causeway or the Norwegian fjords, for example.
The two lesser-known wonders also buck another trend on the list - the idea that inspirational has to be big. Most of these landmarks are on a grand scale. You have the world's highest mountain, the world's largest living organism and one of the world's biggest waterfalls, Victoria Falls. But how about a snowflake? Or a new born child? Are these less breathtaking than huge landscapes?
The natural wonders are spread across the world, causing a dilemma for anyone who wants to visit them. Tourism and its trappings - flights, car journeys, accommodation, even footsteps - are putting many of these natural landmarks at risk. The Great Barrier Reef is dying, Victoria Falls is under threat, and Everest is being covered with litter. If we want to protect these wonders for our grandchildren, we may just have to marvel at the photographs. Or look for alternative wonders closer to home.

Site: Orono, Maine (Maine Field Hockey Complex)
Score: #14 Massachusetts 3, #9 Michigan 2
Records: U-M (0-1), UMass (2-0)
Next U-M Match: Sunday, Sept. 1 -- at Maine (Orono, Maine), 1 p.m.
ORONO, Maine -- The No. 9-ranked University of Michigan field hockey team dropped its 2013 season opener, falling to No. 14 Massachusetts, 3-2, on Saturday afternoon (Aug. 31) at the Maine Field Hockey Complex. The Wolverines led at the halftime break, before UMass surged ahead with two goals in the opening five minutes of the second half.
The Minutewomen struck first, scoring on their first corner opportunity at the 9:27 mark, but Michigan responded with goals from senior captain Rachael Mack (Bromsgrove, England/Bromsgrove School) and senior Michelle Roberts (Pocomoke, Md./Pocomoke HS) to carry a narrow 2-1 advantage at halftime.
Mack scored on the direct shot off U-M's second corner of the contest, at 13:27, blasting a hard shot past the feet of UMass goalkeeper Sam Carlino. Senior/juniors Ainsley McCallister (Ann Arbor, Mich./Huron HS) and Leslie Smith (Hummelstown, Pa./Hershey HS) earned assists on the stop and the push, respectively.
Roberts gave U-M the lead late in the half, at 26:51, after a strong transfer play through midfield. Smith crossed a hard ball into the circle, where Roberts redirected it into the left corner of the cage. It was the 10th goal of Roberts' career.
Massachusetts surged ahead early in the second half with two goals in the first five minutes of play. Brooke Sabia netted both goals for the Minutewomen, coming at the 35:53 mark and again at 39:28, to steal away the lead.
The Wolverines applied pressure in the final 10 minutes of the game, drawing three corners and firing five shots in the UMass corner but could not break through.
Michigan outshot the Minutewomen, 14-10, and outcornered them, 9-6, in the contest. Senior goalkeeper Haley Jones (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS) earned five saves in the Wolverine cage, while Carlino stopped seven of U-M's nine shots on goal.
The Wolverines will wrap up their opening weekend tomorrow (Sunday, Sept. 1), facing host Maine at 1 p.m. at the Maine Field Hockey Complex in Orono, Maine.

Participate: Phil Kline's dreamcitynine
On Friday, August 3 at 6:30 pm, Q2 Music joins forces with composer Phil Kline and 60 percussionists arrayed around Lincoln Center's Hearst Plaza for a special live performance of dreamcitynine. This interactive sound installation, inspired by John Cage's Indeterminacy, is triggered by users' smartphones.
To participate in the installation, walk around the Lincoln Center campus between July 25 and August 12 and you could trigger any one of 60 enigmatic and arresting one-minute stories from such New York luminaries as Bill T. Jones, Jim Jarmusch, Meredith Monk, Philip Glass, among many others. The event is part of Lincoln Center Out of Doors and is the latest from Kline, the composer who gave us the outdoor boombox parade, Unsilent Night. You can stream or download any one of the 60 stories below.
To take part in the special live version, blast Q2 Music through the WQXR app or download the stories as one file from the top of this page, burning them to CD or uploading them to your smartphone. Read a short essay from Kline himself about the origin and intention of his latest happening, and don't forget to hear Kline on Q2 Music when he returns in September for a new series of shows.
Phil Kline on dreamcitynine:
When I was a Columbia student, I worked long and lovingly for the college radio station WKCR. One of the great resources we had there was an extensive library, full of arcane and wonderful things. It was there that I first encountered the Smithsonian Folkways recording of John Cage's Indeterminacy. It was one of the odder items we had, four LP sides containing 100 tiny stories written and read by Cage, to the blind accompaniment of electronica performed by David Tudor. I fell in love with the piece and have often over the years softly spoken the words "it was delicious" in Cage's voice as part of an ongoing meditation. So when Lincoln Center's Bill Bragin mentioned a piece that might commemorate the Cage centennial, I was drawn to make my own little treasury of randomly ordered stories, anagrammatically entitled dreamcitynine.

Tylenol Recall for 2011 Press Release
McNeil Consumer Healthcare initiates voluntary Tylenol recall. Read the press release below for information of the latest recall of Tylenol.
In consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. is voluntarily recalling, at the wholesale level, certain lots of TYLENOL® 8 Hour, TYLENOL® Arthritis Pain, and TYLENOL® upper respiratory products, and certain lots of BENADRYL®, SUDAFED PE®, and SINUTAB® products distributed in the United States, the Caribbean, and Brazil. These products were manufactured at the McNeil plant in Fort Washington, PA prior to April 2010, when production at the facility was suspended. The company is initiating the recall as a precautionary measure after an extensive review of past production records found instances where equipment cleaning procedures were insufficient or that cleaning was not adequately documented. It is very unlikely that this impacted the quality of these products.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare is also initiating a voluntary recall of certain product lots of ROLAIDS® Multi-Symptom Berry Tablets distributed in the United States, in order to update the labeling. The company initiated the recall after determining that the product labeling does not include the language "Does not meet USP" as required by regulation.
Both of these recalls are being initiated at the wholesale level. No action is required by consumers or healthcare providers and consumers can continue to use the product. These actions are not being undertaken on the basis of adverse events.
McNeil identified the inadequacies as part of a thorough, proactive product quality and process assessment of all McNeil produced products. As previously announced, McNeil has been implementing a Comprehensive Action Plan at its U.S. manufacturing facilities to improve the quality systems at those sites. This product assessment is a key milestone in the implementation of that plan, and the actions being undertaken as a result of the assessment are part of McNeil's ongoing commitment to ensure that all its products meet the high quality standards that consumers expect.
Consumers can access full product details and other information about the recall on the www.mcneilproductrecall.com website or by calling our Consumer Care Center at 1-888-222-6036 (available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET and Saturday – Sunday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Eastern Time). List of recalled products.

Ridge vent
My question is my roof pitch is 12' 2'.I was wondering if I can install a ridge vent.My roof was replaced not to long ago. I only have 3 little box vents now and it does'nt seem like it is enought.
How wide is the house?
Do you have soffit vents for intake?
ridge vent
The ridge on my house is about 25 ft to 30 ft long , and I just recently put soffit vents in.Just in the front the are 6 inches wide and about 12 ft .The back I can't get to
The idea is to vent every rafter bay, bottom and top with a balanced system. The best ridge vents are rated at 18NFVA with baffles. The soffit per foot on each side of a gable roof would be 9NFVA. Figure your roof NFVA; http://www.airvent.com/homeowner/pro...it-specs.shtml

It still boggles the mind a little to think that a website (search engine or otherwise) can be traded on the stock exchange and requires a CEO. Having that overhead leaves sites at a disadvantage nowadays when a hotshot young entrepreneur can do it all on his/her own a-la Markus Frind. Perhaps Jim decided he didn't want to fight that fight?
Admittedly the results weren't often that relevant.
Also since Mr. Jeeves "retired", Wikipedia has become the answer person for almost any query under the sun.
If Mr. Jeeves Jr. wanted to take over the task of "information servant", they would have to fill his head with a vast amount of relevant data, much like, well -- Wikipedia.
Sadly, no one talks much about ask.com as evinced by the lack of activity on this forum. They really need to do something unique to survive beside just looking like Google.
In fact being a Google Search Network partner won't help to increase their advertiser base. When I gave their sponsored listings a try, I found my ads were in effect being double-served -- once from Google Search and again as an Ask ad. Caused me to dump Ask since to this day my ads show via the Google Search Network on Ask -- with 0 conversions for this year, BTW.
There is enough dissatisfaction with Adwords among advertisers so the time is ripe for someone to give Google a run for their money. Why not Ask?

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Do you do any sports or exercises?
very little. I'm petite, slim. work a sedentary job
I can see the area on my thigh (anterior-to-inner-thigh) pulsating
For how long you having this?
today is 3rd day i've noticed it.
had some hand tremors in the grocery store yesterday too.
Any prominenet veins?
not really
no more than usual (-:
Any history of fever?
Any other blood problem ?
No. However, my father took blood thinners for clotting... because of my sedentary job, Im concerned about deep vein thrombosis, etc.
Okay.Is there swelling or skin color change?
I think nothing to worry about it is just a muscle fasciculation which are benign pulsations.
it does hurt though
They happen some times under stress and some times for no other apparent reason.
Its not DVT.
you think it's muscle related but not vein?
Yep ,muscle only.
ok. thanks -- even with the leg starting to have a little numbness?
Hmmm....then it is more than muscle can be a nerve impinged at the back.
However,keep an eye on symptoms.
i'll try to stop crossing my legs... maybe that would help?
give massage.
k thx.

SBKB [doi:10.1038/sbkb.2011.89]
Technical Highlight - July 2012
Short description: Pocketome, an encyclopedia of small-molecule binding sites, helps analyze druggable sites.
Small-molecule binding sites have a certain degree of plasticity. An understanding of underlying conformational changes is of interest to scientists ranging from those studying basic cell signaling to drug design. Although a number of databases curate structural information from the PDB for complexes with small molecules, a new resource focuses on details of conformationally variable interaction sites.
Abagyan, Kufareva and colleagues (PSI GPCR Network) developed Pocketome with the aim of compiling three dimensional (3D) structural data for binding sites to understand site flexibility and the effects of fitting various small molecules. For each site, sets of atoms that contact various ligands, defined as pockets, are captured from available experimentally determined structures for that site. Importantly, Pocketome takes into account when sites occur at subunit interfaces or involve a cofactor and metal ions.
The underlying algorithm, siteFinder, automatically collects and analyzes data, outputting Pocketome-binding site ensemble files. Users can analyze data in "pocket" or "site" tabs, both of which include tabulated contacts. The former enables analysis of pocket contacts with its cognate ligand. In addition to a site summary, the latter option allows a cross-compatibility analysis of pockets with other ligands in the ensemble, revealing potential clashes. The results are color coded, facilitating at-a-glance comparisons of contacts. Data also can be visualized in 3D using the ActiveICM browser plug-in.
Pocketome data are sourced from the PDB and the reviewed part of the UniProt Knowledgebase. Sites are added to the encyclopedia when at least two different structures for the protein are available in the PDB, one of which is in complex with a drug-like small molecule. Pocketome is updated automatically as data are added to the PDB and UniProt, leading to expansion of the encyclopedia.
Pocketome is now searchable by protein name, UniProt ID, structure PDB ID or PDB ligand Hetero ID. For future updates, searches by FASTA protein sequence, ligand SMILES string or drug name are planned.

Nice run

Sick video, you should bring that thing down to the events in the states when we go down there
Very nice
show me that engine lol
congrats!!! were you on slicks this time?? cuz last time i seen this car at waterfest 3 years ago it was on reg. tires...
Sick dude, I know nothing about this car, what motor, fueling, turbo?
Thanks guys,I plan on bringing the car to an event or 2 in the states.
The engine has a custom cast iron cylinder head,cunningham H-beam rods and custom Diamond pistons.There is alot of bottom end reinforcment with the main bearing caps and a steel oil pan/girdle.The compression ratio is 14.5:1.The fuel injection pump is from a 4cyl cummins engine and is modified to pump out 230cc's of fuel through injectior nozzles that that have 5 holes @ .017".A gt4088 feeds a gt3571 to produce 90 psi boost.Both of the turbo's used have variable geometry turbine housings which enable us to spool up a bigger turbine's off the line while being able to flow well on at higher rpm.
The new plan is to put a gt4082 (thanks to sp_golf) on the manifold and feed it with a gt45.All depends on if it can be spooled up well enough to launch off the line.
There is more info and pics in of the engine in the link below.
Clutch is spec twin disc and the o2a trans has a peloquin diff.With the 26" slicks we are running a 3.38 R&P.The transmission has vairous custom homemade braces and suports to help keep it together.Axles a stock V6 and seem to be holding up.
The homemade stuff is a pinion brace,A link that repalces 5th gear set that holds shafts together and a external brace to keep the pinion from flexing away from the ring.These parts are strictly homemade and I don't intend to make any for selling.
Very cool! Is it a VE pump?
Life begins at 101 kpa ...and so does poverty--Lugnuts Calhoun
It a bosch "A" pump.They never came on any vw's so we had to make the mounting bracket.
If we manage to see a mild day soon I would like to love to try the new turbo out.
wow, that is just bad ass!!
thanks for the video, that is awesome!
any pics of the head assembly dissasemble? If not I understand.

0-161mph in 8.9 seconds-----> http://youtu.be/O8X6EzeAGPA
Just pulled the engine out tonight.I'll see If I can grab a pic of the head.
forgot to mention that we sucessfully spooled up the gta4082klnv.Depending on vane pisition we can make upto 70 psi boost with 65 psi exhaust manifold pressure.Can't wait to try and spool the gt45.Our road testing is done for good as the local pohpoh were out looking for a white car matching the description of mine
Keep up the good work

this is a MK2 TDI from Poland...
In 2010 I attended the Gecko Cup and there was another Golf TDI that ran high 9sec. if I remember that right. But he often had gear box damages...maybe I`ll find a video...
Polo Vr6T FWD car - 8.711sec. @ 176.98mph
VW Polo 6N Vr6T FWD - World`s first 8sec. 12V Vr6 FWD / LugTronic
Yes the youtube car is the 5cyl TDI with AWD and compound turbos and nitrous. I'm not to far off with one less cylinder, FWD and no nitrous.
Not to sure about the 9sec car but I know that there is one car with 2 TDi engines and that could be the 9 sec one.It has done 10.4 so High 9's sounds possible.

A Fake AP Tweet Sinks the Dow for an InstantJared Keller
The nearly two million people who follow the Twitter feed of the Associated Press were treated to a nasty surprise this afternoon: a tweet (since deleted) claiming there had been an explosion at the White House that injured President Obama:
Everything about this message seemed suspicious: It wasn't written in the AP's style and as other journalists noted, the message appeared on Twitter before it was posted to the official AP wire. The AP quickly confirmed that its account was hacked:
Any news of an attack on the White House is a sign of imminent apocalypse, and the market reacted accordingly: From 1:08 p.m. to 1:10 p.m., the Dow Jones Industrial average plunged more than 100 points, from 14697.15 to 14548.58. Just as quickly though, it rebounded. By 1:13 p.m., it was back above 14690. You can see the sharp dip and climb in this screenshot from a Bloomberg terminal below:
The AP has since announced that it is suspending all of its Twitter accounts. A group that calls itself the Syrian Electronic Army has apparently claimed credit for the hack. They're a pro-regime activist group connected to several cyberattacks over the past two years, as I discussed in a piece I co-wrote for the Atlantic in 2011.
In June 2012, fake tweets about the death of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad sent from an account claimed to be that of Syria's interior minister caused the price of West Texas Intermediate crude to climb by more than $1 to just shy of $92.
Update, 4:11 p.m. ET: >Bloomberg News reports that the AP's false tweet wiped $136 billion from the S&P 500 index in about two minutes. The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the hacking incident, according to a spokesman.

Premieres MON. 2/2/2009 at 8:00pm PST
When Nike 6.0 premiered their new BMX film "Writing on the Wall," they made it an all-day affair. Join FUEL TV as we travel to inland San Diego for the "Banksgiving" jam in Dennis Enarson's backyard to capture the local BMX community coming together for a full-blown session, then catch up with the 6.0 athletes as they breakdown their favorite stories from the road and give us the dirt on filming for their first Nike 6.0 BMX movie. Follow the crew, as they celebrate aboard the USS Midway in San Diego Harbor with an all-star world premiere in the aircraft carrier's legendary hangar.
"Writing on the Wall" features the four-man crew of Garrett Reynolds, Dennis Enarson, Nigel Sylvester, and Mike Spinner who spent over a year living out of suitcases to film their first Nike 6.0 BMX movie. Battling school calendars, narcolepsy, ridiculous competition schedules, and border patrol; the crew rallied to capture amazing riding. "Writing on the Wall" showcases the distinct style of each rider, from Nigel's street skills to Spinner's technical prowess; from Dennis who rides anything at any time to Garrett's assault on cities around the world. The 6.0 crew represents the next generation of riders driving the progression of BMX. Enjoy the tour, as one of today's most diverse BMX teams travels to Beijing, Dubai, Barcelona, NYC, Australia, and more.
In conjunction with the Blue Carpet Special, "Writing on the Wall" will be featured on the Daily Habit Feb 2nd at 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm PST. Tune in to FUEL TV for a behind the scenes feature on Nike's debut BMX film, premiering Mon. 2/2/2009 at 8:00pm PST.

Carefree container
Follow these simple steps to create your own self- watering (technical term: subirrigated) pot and come home to happy plants. A reservoir at the bottom allows more time between waterings, while an overflow hole prevents overwatering.
- Start with a thin-walled, nonporous pot (at least 12 inches wide and 16 inches high) that has no drainage hole but will be easy to drill into—like the plastic ones shown here (Skörd planter, from $30; ikea.com). Drill a 1/4-inch- wide hole into its side, about 4 inches up from the bottom.
- Take a smaller plastic pot— roughly 6 by 6 inches—and drill 1/4-inch-wide holes, a few inches apart, into the sides and bottom. Fill with potting soil, then center in the bottom of the large container. (If your large pot is wide, like the one shown above right, use two small pots.)
- Cut a disc of sturdy plastic (we used the lid of an old storage bin) to fit securely in- side the large pot when sitting on top of the soil- filled one. Drill 1/4-inch holes, an inch apart, in the disc. Cut a 1-inch-wide hole near the disc's edge, then place the disc on the pot, inside the large container.
- Cut a length of 1-inch PVC pipe that's slightly longer than the height of the large container. Cut the bottom of the pipe at an angle (so it won't clog), and insert the pipe through the 1-inch hole in the disc. Push pipe as far into the big pot as it will go.
- Set your plant on the plastic disc (next to the pipe). Fill in the space around it with potting soil, mixed with some controlled-release organic fertilizer, to 1 to 2 inches below the pot's rim. (Don't worry if some soil falls through to the reservoir below.)
- Cover the top of the soil with plastic sheeting, cutting an X in it to let the plant through and tucking it down into the sides of the pot. Hide the plastic with a layer of rock or bark. Pour water down the pipe until it flows from the drainage hole. Refill as needed, likely once or twice a week.

Amazon Launches Wiki-Inspired Short Bios Of Historical Figures
In response to how reading habits have changed, the retail giant is debuting a new "Icons" series which will bring short biographies to the Kindle.
There is no doubt that Amazon can now be counted as a major digital media publisher. On the back of licensing Kurt Vonnegut's books for fan novels, Amazon will be launching a series of short biographies for Kindle, known as the 'Icons' series which will include people that range from Jesus to David Lynch.
The e-books will be short biographies for people who are interested but do not have the time to read 1000 pages on Jesus. While the religious leader will be Amazon's first Icon, the other ten that have been announced vary from dictator to director, with Stalin, Edgar Allan Poe, Vincent Van Gogh, Alfred Hitchcock and the aformentioned Lynch all getting the annotated treatment.
James Atlas, former editor of the Penguin Lives biography series, who will editing the series said in a statement:
In a time when our fascination with the private aspects of public lives is so intense, it's not surprising that biography has become one of the most prominent forms of narrative nonfiction. Yet reading habits have changed dramatically in the digital age and I am excited to bring these short biographies to the Kindle platform.

Beadboard Wainscoting Down Stairs
3 Attachment(s)
Hi Everyone,
Needed to bounce a situation off you all. I'm planning on adding solid plank beadboard wainscoting on the walls of my side entry way and down the stairs to the basement. I'd like to use the standard tongue and groove 5/8" thick planks. My question comes in with the baseboard, or more particularly, how you handle the baseboard down stairs.
I'm attaching a few pictures. I have about 3/4" of exposed skirtboard on the stairs, after I rip off the existing trim. If I add 5/8" beadboard and put base on top of it, it'll be protruding into the stairs and likely unsightly. Any ideas?
I can likely rabbet out the top of the base to make up some of the depth (and it may look better fitting it that way anyways), but I'll still have a high buildup.
I'd rather not go with thinner beadboard or sheets. And I'd like to avoid cutting out the plaster, but I'm not afraid to do whatever will turn out best. I'll have some drywall/plaster work when I tear out the shingles (yes, on the inside of my house). I also had the idea of adding a 1x2 or so on top of the skirtboard for the base to sit on, but that would protrude into the stairs.
I should probably mention I'd like the keep the baseboard style that I have at the top of the stairs as it matches the rest of the house.
I'm a little stumped, and like to get everything planned out before I start. If anyone has any pictures of examples, that would be great.
What is it your trying to match?
Easy job if you just go with Birch panels. Going to look really odd with the wood hanging over the skirts.
Upside down back band moulding would make it look better but not much. Look it up.
I wanted to use the existing base at the top of the stairs if possible. The entire rest of the house uses that base profile and would be nice if it all matched.
I'm guessing this issue comes up any time you try to add solid beadboard planks to existing stairs - was curious to see what other people did.
I would remove that base, Install the panels and reinstall the base over it.
When you remove that base cap moulding on top of the skirt you could buy some that matchs what you have on the base you have now.
After you remove that base and install the paneling. I think you could notch your base enough so It could cap off the skirt and actually sit right on the corners of the stair treads. From there you could cut little triangles to fit on each stair bringing the skirt back out past the base, or better yet, flush with the base and then patched to look like one big piece. I dont have exact measurements of exposed skirt after that little base trim is removed. If your base would only overhang just a tad bit, find a solid wood base with same design as that composite and just sand it flush with the existing skirt. If it overhangs a lot, build out the skirt.
i would remove the baseboards along with the cap molding on top of the skirtboard,, from there install a 1 " or 1 1/4" x 1/2" peice of bullnose on teh skirtboard which will create a reveal and break up the transistion from wainscotting to the skirt.. then install the wainscotting right to the floor and then the baseboard goes back on over top

I have added a new getting started help topic. More help coming soon.
Month: March 2010
Version 2.2.1 Released
Version 2.2.1 has been released. New users can download the installer here, existing 2.2.0 users can download a patch here (2.1.2C users please apply the 2.1.2C – 2.2.0 patch first).
This releases includes a few small bug fixes and allows Joomla content plugins to work in reviews.
2.1.2C to 2.2.0 Patch Available
Version 2.1.2C users can now upgrade to version 2.2.0. Files can be found here. Please backup your site and database first and then follow the instructions in the readme file. You will loose any modifications to files as well as your configuration settings, so please back these up. This will be the last major change (in terms of file structure) and the next upgrades will not result in loss of configuration settings 🙂
Version 2.2.0 Released
Version 2.2.0 has been released. You can see some of the new features in this post. Apart from some bug fixes the main changes are usability and customisation. The user reviews functionality is about half done and was holding up this release so I decided it was more important to get these new features out, I hope to release user reviews very shortly – there is a change in 2.2.0 in that any back-end user can now create reviews rather than just the super administrator.
In the coming days I will release an upgrade for 2.1.2 users and some help guides on the new template system and what files to change.

Research shows that students who are mentored typically have more confidence, higher grade point averages, and a higher overall level of satisfaction with their college experience.
The Peer2Peer program offers benefits to all who participate:
- Through regular contact with a mentor, student mentees become familiar with campus services and resources, and develop the skills and habits of independent, successful learners.
- Student mentors develop and refine valuable skills, such as leadership and interpersonal communication.
Here's what some of our participants have to say:
"My mentor explained that it is hard the first year. But I have come a long way since then. I have more ambition now than ever and it is showing through in my grades..." -student mentee
"Just reassurance that others have gone before me, that was the most helpful thing of all..." -adult student mentee
"Keeping in contact with my mentor has kept me motivated to do well and I like to update her on anything. The feedback from her is amazing and it makes me feel good..." -student mentee
"I have conquered my initial fears. I am very pleased with your program and want to take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement in helping me get settled in..." -student mentee

To think that Jeremy Hunt is off his rocker to downgrade Lewisham Hospital?(79 Posts)
Lewisham Hospital is NOT a failing hospital and Lewisham is a densely populated part of London.
With the proposed measures, Lewisham Hospital will now be downgraded and will basically lose it's A & E department and the nearest A & E will be miles away in Woolwich.
Also the maternity unit will now solely be midwife led so that if you are unfortunate to need intervention, you will have to be bluelighted to ANOTHER hospital as opposed to now where you are simply taken to the main maternity ward.
Jeremy Hunt had said that there were four criteria that needed to be filled in order for something like this to happen of which Lewisham has not filled at all. Nobody has supported this downgrading at all.
This decision has now set a very dangerous precendence that will be continued up and down the country where it goes to show that in spite of public consultation that said a big fat resounding NO and with no support from doctors, a thriving hospital can be shut just because the Government says so.
I live nearby - isn't this part of the wider review of A&E services all over the country - I know they've been looking in Kent as well. If it's all part of the collapse of the other trust then it's rubbish!
But I do think we're reasonably well served for hospitals locally - Kings, St Thomas' etc are all fairly close. It's not like it's the middle of the country when they close one and it's then 20 or 30 miles to the nearest A&E.
annabeldp, I don't think you quite realise how busy King's and St Thomas' are, especially when it comes to maternity services. I had my DD at Kings and I was given a choice of King's and Lewisham. I chose King's because it was easier to get to on my way to / from work but they were only taking very specific postcodes as otherwise they can't cope.
Lewisham also is going through a birth boom so where are these mothers-to-be going to be absorbed?
If I get pregnant again and King's was ruled out due to oversubscription, I would have to go to Woolwich as due to DD's complicated birth, I would not be allowed to use the Birthing Centre at Lewisham. That's at least an hour away in normal traffic and not counting London traffic problems.
Also, as it stands, if a woman was to be at the Birthing Centre at Lewisham and then ran into complications, she would then be taken by ambulance to Woolwich. Can you imagine how stressful that would be?
Re "rewarding failure", blackeyedsusan, it's interesting that the term "moral hazard" has disappeared from public discourse since bank bailouts and other Quantitative Easing measures...
showtunesgirl, I do realise, though I didn't say I had my daughter at st Thomas' and on ante natal there were some poor people who'd been waiting 3 or 4 days to be induced but there just wasn't space, and I won't even start on the post natal ward...
Don't get me wrong - I really hope it stays open, I'm just saying that if I compare to some other hospitals I know they're looking at I can see more logic in what they're thinking with Lewisham, not that it makes it any less crap if that's your local.
I had dd1 at Lewisham 7 years ago and even back then she was born at 3am, then had to sleep the night with me in the delivery bed because there weren't enough cots in the hospital, let alone beds on the ward. I'm sure that contravened more co-sleeping guidelines than that, but they were so busy it was all they could offer. Can't see how, given the birth boom, things are any better now, eh Jeremy?
I'm angry too, and only glad the core a&e is being saved. But I can't help but point out the real villain is PFI, which the last government used verociously to cook the books. Hunt and his ilk are just trying to clean up the mess at a time when public money is tight.
Chandelina, they are writing off SLHT's debts as far as I can see, which suggests the PFI argument is a red herring. What the BBC news report just failed once again to get across when it referred to 'problems in Lewisham' is that the problems aren't in Lewisham, they are in Woolwich, Sidcup, Bexley and Bromley.
chandelina, the A & E isn't being saved. It's a smoke screen. See upthread for what other people have said about the fact that slowly, the department will go into decline and will shut anyway.
YANBU...but I know a man who is <and a whole lot of other words too>
At the gathering outside the hospital this evening, in amongst the banner waving, rapping, vehicle-horn-tooting and the like were lots of people asking why it was that 4 streets away from the hospital a new 2-form-entry primary school is being opened, and yet another school is being asked to expand - it's not because the population of Lewisham is shrinking.
Perhaps Misters Hunt and Gove are in cahoots? Maybe if Mr Hunt kills off the children and children-to-be of Lewisham by closing the paediatric A&E and the maternity unit, Mr Gove won't have to worry about bulge classes for so long. If the pair are really lucky, they'll kill off a good number of adult locals too which will win them Brownie points with a minister in some other Government department I'm sure .
Which new school is that, SE13Mummy, the one on the site where Trinity used to be, or another one?
Traffic to Woolwich from Lewisham in rush hour is a nightmare, in fact traffic from Lewisham to anywhere is a nightmare.
What does he, with the rhymning slang name want? Deaths?
Cos I'm sure it'll happen.
Will never vote for them (not that I ever have) nor the others in Westminster that didn't stop them.
This country is becoming third world.
Never mind, they could always have on hand taxis, chauffeurs, private health etc if it was them eh? (on expenses no doubt).
Anyway, this is Jeremy Hunt, ex Culture Minister remember? He cut the Arts Funding and said that private investors would take their place and guess what? They didn't.
Yeh and he knows about accounts doesn't he?
We don't want PFI we want our Welfare State back. Free health care for everyone
Aren't they going to start lobbying for a judicial review due to the fact that JH is essentially wasting taxpayers money in closing a department which had SIGNIFICANT funding put into it recently? Or has he swerved that one somehow.
I'm sickened and worried by this. On a purely selfish level, I have a rapidly-approaching-elderly mother (don't tell her I called her that!) living in Sydenham. If she had a heart attack or stroke, 40 minutes to get to the nearest A&E is not good enough.
I just hope the relevant authorities are geared up for a rapid increase in bus, train and car park baby deliveries (I do hope the parking wardens have been informed in appropriate midwifery care!). A decade ago Lewisham hospital's maternity unit was often overwhelmed and had to send patients elsewhere to give birth, especially at weekends. I have several friends that have had to be transferred to Hackney in labour because there has been no room at the inn at the woolwich Hosptital on the day they went into labour - it's a very frightening experience and one poor lady ended up having 40 stitches .
South E London has been going through a baby boom for at least a decade now - each year there are not enough primary places and the LA's have had to struggle to keep pace with it. Lord help anyone who needs help on a day when the Blackwall tunnel tail back, or the South Circular are having one of their all too regular snarl ups. I've seen nothing in the plan about extra helicopters to combat the usual transport issues in that part of the world.
How on Earth does shutting down one of the units/reducing emergency capacity enable a decent service to be delivered. Noone can predict whether a seemingly smooth labour won't suddenly go horribly wrong & delays in prompt treatment during delivery can lead to the death of the mother & child and/or awful handicaps in the baby. Children with birth related disabilities can carry a really expensive lifetime cost in terms of care.
Were I planning another child & a resident of SE London I'd be intending to "turn up" the month before my due date in another part of the country, so that I could be sure that the capacity was available to ensure a safe delivery of my child.
Poor financial management on the part of one trust has resulted in it being rewarded by the hard won efforts of a trust that has kept it's house in order. Greenwich PCT is a poor one in terms of clinical care, meaning that those who can creep over the border into Lewisham do so, otherwise the true picture would look far worse. This short term, knee jerk thinking is in no way, beneficial to the society that finances it through taxation.
The tax payer expects to be able to give birth safely and to have rapid access to emergency services if run over by a bus or suffering a heart attack. This is seen as a fundamental cornerstone of the public's goodwill towards the extortionate UK tax rates. Neither of these services will be available to a huge swathe of SE London's population. The death rate will increase as a result of these changes.
This is all so wrong on so many levels it's truly shocking for even the hardest cynic.
I was wondering about ambulance service investment, too!
By down grading it, will it mean that ambulances will not take to Lewisham anymore? Will it just be a walk in?
Dreams, I'm sure that nobody knows, or if they do, they're not telling... yet.
Yes, pluCaChange, it's the old Ennersdale School that was used for Trinity (which was then Northbrook) when the new building was being built. At the moment it's being used by Drumbeat(?) School.
I walked to the wonderful paediatric A&E at Lewisham with DD2 today as she'd suffered a weird reaction to jabs she had on Friday. It was chockablock with children aged very small up to a couple of quite grown-up looking teenagers. We were there over 2.5 hours but, as has always been my experience, we were seen as soon as possible and the care was first-rate.
I'm not looking forward to the day that there is no paediatric A&E in the borough .
I signed, marched and now am gutted that the hosptial that save both mine and my daughters lives is to be effectively closed.
The distance argument to kings etc is a red herring, other hosptials just don't have capacity. People will die but thats ok because they vote labour round here.
I work in the NHS and if any of you are stupid enough to think that the NHS is safe in Tory hands, wake up and smell the roses. It's being quietly privatised via the back door.
I hope all those Tory voters and politcions sleep well tonight - lets just hope you don't get sick and need an A & E (bearing in mind most private healthcare doesn't cover you for the initial accident or emergency care).
As the founder of the NHS (Bevan) once stated far better than I could... 'no attempt at ethical or social seduction could erricate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory party. So far as I am concerned, they are lower then vermin'.
Please stay angry and don't give up the fight !
There are not actually adequate words for the insanity of this.
* In population terms, it's like leaving Brighton & Hove without an A&E - and the population of Lewisham's expanding at quite a rate, too.
* As the crow flies, no, it's not too far to QEH/KCL. Sadly people don't travel to hospital by crow. As someone else said, LOTS of Lewisham residents do not own cars; public transport to the other hospitals is pants from, er, most of the area served by UHL; traffic conditions in this part of London are frequently dire; if you're amongst the small proportion of residents who could afford a cab to A&E you'd probably struggle to find one who'd take a bleeding/fainting/vomiting (etc) passenger; & the ambulance service has faff-all chance of managing the extra strain that'll be put on it because people will call 999 as they can't see any other way to get to A&E.
* I don't think I've ever been to Lewisham A&E & seen it quiet. I've often been seen quickly, but only because I've been dangerously ill, never because it's not busy. Quite how that volume of patients will be managed by A&E departments that are already overstretched themselves (only the other week KCL had to divert ambulances to UHL!) I don't know. No-one's actually been able to answer this despite it repeatedly being raised by people campaigning to save the hospital.
* They redid & reopened the A&E in September 2011. (Including tarting up recus so it has weirdy plastic doors instead of curtains so people have to wrestle their way in to patients. Really very funny, even when you have appendicitis...) Talk about a ginormous waste of NHS money!
* I have had some dire experiences with UHL, but they are a very well-performing hospital in both clinical & financial terms. QEH is celebratedly/infamously neither. I know which A&E I'd close i.e. the shite one.
* Agree that there's definitely a political aspect to this. Hospital in a Labour stronghold = sitting duck.
* People will die. People will die waiting for treatment. People will die because they put off going because of the impossibility of the journey. People will die because they don't reach the hospital in time. People will die because the ambulance they need is tied up dealing with someone who can't think of any other way to get to the hospital. There is a very real chance I will be one of those people, which would probably delight the Tory bastards because they could finally (ATOS medical last week confirmed my inability to work which will upset the government) stop paying my benefits.
There is a plan afoot to try to challenge the ruling, though:
^Lewisham mayor Steve Bullock said: "The secretary of state is riding roughshod over the people of Lewisham. This is not the end of the matter.
"I do not believe that the trust special administrator had the statutory power to make recommendations about Lewisham Hospital and the secretary of state therefore has no power to implement them.
"I will be talking to our lawyers and we will also of course need to talk to our colleagues at Lewisham Hospital in order to fully understand the implications of Mr Hunt's statement."^
(From this BBC news article.)
Lewisham's population is predicted to reach nearly 300,000 over the next twenty years (it is over 250,000 at the moment) so it's like Iceland not having it's own A&E!
As others have said, this isn't to do with distance in miles between hospitals - this is a densely populated part of London, with a low car owning population very reliant on public transport; but it also has the south circular running through it, so getting from one end to the other can actually take a very long time, even in an ambulance. I have been stuck in traffic jams on the A205 and seen the ambulances trying to get through.
Jeremy Hunt is completely mad, or extremely callous, or both.
How many deaths will it take for the Government to admit this is a completely wrong decision?
Keep checking the savelewishamhospital website for the ongoing campaign everybody.

Prokhorov to Move Nets Business to Russia
Tensions between the U.S. and Russia remain high over the crisis in Ukraine. Leaders of the G-7 countries, which includes the U.S., are threatening to intensify sanctions against Moscow if they continue to escalate the situation in Ukraine.
Now, an unlikely New York entity finds itself squarely in the middle of this international crisis: the Brooklyn Nets.
Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, a Russian billionaire and aspiring politician, said he is moving ahead with plans to transfer the company that runs the team to Russia.
In this interview, Andrew Zimbalist, professor of economics at Smith College, explains how Prokhorov is seizing the moment.
"Clearly there's a very strong sense of nationalism right now in Russia, and Prokhorov as a politician is trying to play into that wave," he said.

My husband and I stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary. The views and house are incredible, the gardner was so friendly and kind, and the owners were great. It was our own private paradise.
All of the great reviews about the house are true and the pictures on the site do not do it justice. The house is fantastic and across the road from Montezuma Falls as well as the Anamaya resort that offers yoga/massage which was a nice treat. The town itself is a couple of minutes away and we loved visiting the different restaurants – our favorite was Cocolores where the fresh fish and relaxed ambiance was beyond compare. We initially planned to stay a few days but between the house and town of Montezuma we extended our stay. We even volunteered at the Montezuma beach Turtle Hatchery.
Lora, the manager was extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Our kids, aged 6, 8 and 14 LOVED the layout of the house and the pool. We were daily visited by Howler monkeys, hummingbirds and coatis.
There is plenty to do in Montezuma (Zuma tours was fantastic + Young Vision surf school) and the fact that we had such an amazing location made it even more memorable. We will be back.
Breathtaking. Most be the best place in all of Montezuma. So much to enjoy. The gardens and the view are amazing. Truly paradise. The house is relaxing and spacious. I love the inside-outside living. Even the bedrooms and baths are large. I love the pool just a few steps away. The reason I choose to vacation in Montezuma was the feeling of being chose to nature and this place has it all. The jungle with the monkeys and birds was like living in harmony with nature. The location is just the right distance away from town and was very safe with the security of a gate and the caretaker is close by. And not to forget the night gazing at the stars and the night sounds of the jungle. Great place to do yoga. Couldn't ask for more.
We were wowed as we drove through the gate.... what a lovely property! Where to start. My dad plunked himself in one of the loungers in the rancho as soon as we got there, and stayed put for 4 hours. View is incredible! Ocean, jungle, and the lovely house. And there are several equally wonderful places to park yourself with a good book and/or binoculars. The covered veranda is 20 ft wide, wrapping three sides of the house -- a pair of comfy leather rocking chairs on one side looking out over the garden and ocean; a hammock over the canopy of a stream valley (neat trail to follow down to do some exploring there); and a super comfy couch, that we all probably dozed off on at one point, looking out over the pool and the ocean. There is also a beautiful dining table under the veranda (we exchanged the tree stump seats for the formal dining chairs in the kitchen). The stereo speakers are set up to outside, so you can dance on the lovely stone pool deck... and a full assortment of lights to provide whatever ambiance you are looking for. The grounds were lovely -- grassed areas, a well-tended garden, and the pool and hot tub (ahhh!), all surrounded by jungle. We saw parrots, toucan and numerous other birds that my partner eagerly looked up, and we were all enamoured with the resident iguana, and of course, the monkeys! Moving inside, the doors are incredible... maybe 20ft wide again, opening fully on two sides to make the living area/kitchen open air as well. The bedrooms were huge, with very comfortable beds and bedding. The bathrooms are also incredible -- open air, full of plants, but completely private - hard to describe, but lovely. It was reassuring to have Rigo and his family on the premises -- especially coming home at night (even though the area seems very safe). He was unassuming, but ready to help if needed. Finally, Lora and Boyan were so wonderful to deal with and went way out of their way for us. When we asked if a crib was available, they said yes without hesitation. Little did we realize that they needed to go out and buy one, plus bedding and even a pillow! They also let us park at their hotel when we went into town (Montezuma can be a little crowded) and use the internet there. All in all a super place -- I couldn't help but feel very lucky, and a bit spoiled to have had our time there. Its a luxurious place, but felt like home at the same time. A girl can dream...
Loved this place! Stayed for a full week in January 2013 and did not want to leave. The pictures are beautiful and the property is better still. Things we enjoyed the most: the views, the space, the outdoor living areas, the pool, the gardens and vegetation, the monkeys, the 2 couples of visiting parrots in the morning, the stars, the well equiped kitchen, the semi-outdoor bathrooms, the privacy and security, the discreet on-site caretaker Rigo and his family and so much more.
We have traveled quite a bit and have rented many hotels and homes over the years so we know what we want. This place truely delivered and met our expectations. The property manager Lora was delightful, available and very heplful. Dealing with her was a pleasure. She met us at the taxi boat, escorted us to the villa and even arranged a car rental for us to be delivered at the house.
The only issues we had was 1) internet was a 3g usb key not compatible with our older ipad and 2) sound system limited to radio as we could not plug in our ipod. They tried their best to resolve the internet issue and in the end Lora's father lend us his laptop for the week! They hope to get true wifi set up eventually as it is available in many local cafés and b&b.
We loved the place and Montezuma and very much look forward to going back and staying at Villa Prana. Enjoy!
I recently stayed with a friend at Villa Prana in Montezuma for 3 weeks. The place was unbelievable!! It is built high on a hill above the trees which gave me the feeling of being in an eagle's nest. It took my breath away ! I really felt a tranquility here that I have not felt in a while.
The extraordinary view is completely open to all sides . Of course the best view was from the jacuzzi or infinity pool which we really appreciated during the hot days and for enjoying some star gazing at night too!
The villa is large and very well designed to let in a marvellous breeze which kept a comfortable temperature no matter how hot it got. It was always a relief to walk up from the gate and instantly feel the coolness of the house and veranda. We loved the spaciousness and openness of the house so that even while inside we felt like we were outside. The covered veranda surrounding the house on 3 sides is wide and completely open to an amazing view on all sides. We could always find a nice shady private place to read, or just to hang out in the hammock with an eye on the garden or jungle. I saw monkeys and birds pass by often in the morning or late afternoon. I loved that!
It was also a new experience for me to sleep with the windows open. I thought it would be hot at night because it was the tropics but it was quite cool and I slept great and woke up refreshed. Waking up to the howler monkeys and birds was so much more pleasant than waking up to an alarm clock. In fact I often got up at 5:30 am with my coffee to watch the changing light of the sunrise from the terrace …something I would never do at home!
Both bedrooms have very beautiful wooden mexican style king size beds with good comfortable mattresses and large closets so lots of storage which was great. The bathrooms are huge and open to walled outdoor gardens where you could look up to the sky or the from the jungle. The kitchen was well equipped and we loved that the refrigerator had an icemaker ,very important for our cold hibiscus tea.
We took some private yoga lessons at the house and it was an incredible
to practice early in the morning on the natural stone terrace by the pool with such an inspiring view all around us. Practising yoga at night under the full moon and the stars with the sound of surf and cicadas was an experience of Prana that I won't ever forget.
I would certainly recommend this beautiful house to everyone who would like to spend time in their own private paradise.
The serenity and inspiring setting makes Villa Prana an ideal place to practise yoga.
We are also steps away from the Montezuma Waterfall .
Our house managers have extensive knowledge of the area and all the great things to see and do and will be very happy to answer any questions you have about travel arrangements, the area , and activities. A house safe and an onsite caretaker adds to your vacation security.

VE3214/944 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of VE3214in our 2015, and 2016 Versace range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The frame is reminiscent of an inverted trapeze. Because the frame is wider at the top, the side edges narrow downwards, giving a softer look to the face. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Versace back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.
