"Georgina is an excellent and astute recruitment consultant. She understands my core skills and has always recommended or got me the right job. She is an excellent listener and always conducts herself with a high degree of professionalism. She can build excellent rapport and sustain a healthy working relationship. I can honestly say, the best recruitment consultant I have ever known. Thank you Georgina, you are a wonderful person."
"Ciara and the whole Alexander Lloyd team have been a treat. Ciara goes above and beyond to help her clients and candidates, which makes the recruitment process a whole lot smoother. Ciara has been fantastic as she would give me interview tips and keep me updated on the market; giving me assurance and most importantly preparing me for an interview. I would recommend Ciara and the Alexander Lloyd team to anyone looking for jobs as they are probably the best in the market."
"Fantastic! Always willing to listen and talk about things; the best recruitment adviser I have dealt with over the years and Alexander Lloyd are a good company too. Tom is available to talk and if he is not around, he always calls back. He is polite and very knowledgeable of his clients and of the people he is trying to recruit for the roles. He doesn't seem to get the matches for jobs/interviews wrong. His colleagues are also very helpful when I have dealt with them. I always recommend Tom to anyone I know looking for a pensions job as I know he will be able to help; he has got me two of my last three jobs, and the other one I got myself. Top top service!" Senior Pensions Administrator
"My experience working with Alexander Lloyd has been very positive. You listened to the challenges I had at my previous role and found me a great job with a company that could not have been more opposite. You kept in regular contact during my probation to make sure I was still liking the job and there were no issues. I would certainly recommend Alexander Lloyd to friends and colleagues who were looking for a new role."
"Thank you for your help with my job search this year. You have been very professional and understanding of my circumstances and this made my job search a very positive experience. I have been advised of opportunities relevant to my experience and provided with valuable interview advice. You have been very supportive throughout the whole process and I felt that you worked to my best interest."
"Alexander Lloyd have a great track record in providing us with suitable candidates when we require them, good customer service and a solid understanding of our business needs. We would definitely recommend them!"
"My experience with Alexander Lloyd has been nothing short of superb. The care, support and genuine interest in what I was looking for was apparent from the first meeting with them and has been first class throughout. I have dealt with 3 members of the team; Georgina, Ciara and Thalia. Each one of them was professional, pro-active and thorough when dealing with any prospective role. Out of the 4 recruitment agencies I was registered with, the ladies at Alexander Lloyd were a clear winner in every area. I am very grateful for their help. Thank you! These are very genuine words and I thank each one of you for your work, support and advice throughout my time with you."
Very professional staff who understand our job requirements and the type of candidates that we are looking for.
They took the trouble to meet with me to discuss our requirements in detail and gave us access to candidates with London market experience.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the opportunities you put me forward for and the regular contact you had with me. I would have no hesitation in speaking with you if the need should ever arise again. I can assure you; compared to other agencies you have been brilliant. I will definitely keep your agency in mind if there are any opportunities that arise within the company, and if there are any vacancies that require filling. HR Assistant
They get the people that others do not.
We have worked with Alexander Lloyd on a number of occasions and my consultant understood our requirements, were quick to react and supplied an excellent selection of candidates that fitted our criteria.
They save me time. They understand the requirements and identify the most able candidates.
Out of the many recruitment agencies I have registered with, there are probably no more than three or four that I would consider attentive, friendly and professional in helping me to find a new position. I was referred to Alexander Lloyd, and I would place them at the head of that list and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
I would use Alexander Lloyd again because of the quality, their understanding of our requirements, and their management of expectation in relation to the role.
I have found both [my consultants] to be efficient and focused in their approach to placing me in an HR role. They initially met with me to establish my skill set and no doubt my character too, and continued to maintain contact with me during the short time it took to secure a placement. They discussed with me only job vacancies that matched my competencies which helped me target the appropriate employer. I will use them again both for personal and professional use, they have outstripped the competition at every level.
I asked Alexander Lloyd to assist with a recruitment assignment for a key financial role in our organisation. Up until my call to AL, I had been working from our PSL with a very well respected and well known Financial Recruitment Agency; unfortunately they had not been able to produce a good list of potential candidates. Time was not on our side and we needed to fill the position. I was impressed with the response and professional approach I received from AL. The Consultant came to see me the same afternoon that I called in order to go through a specification and he commenced work straight away. Considering I only gave him a week to source the candidates for interview, he turned a short list around for me exceptionally quickly and exactly to the brief that I asked. He had interviewed all the candidates prior to sending and was able to supply a full and comprehensive history to me. He remained in contact throughout and presented accurate and timely information. We could have appointed two of the candidates to the role and the consultant assisted in the negotiations to secure our preferred choice. I was impressed with the efficient, professional service provided by AL and they are now my number 1 choice for Financial Recruitment.
Brakes used Alexander Lloyd to recruit a Regional Trainer. It was a positive experience, and they sent relevant, high calibre candidates in a timely manner. One of which has recently been promoted and has suited our business extremely well. They gave us a thorough service from start to placement and have intermittently called to see how things have gone. I wouldn't hesitate in using them again in the future.
During the years that I have worked with Alexander Lloyd, I have found them to be a very responsive, delivery focused and detail conscious recruitment specialist that act with pace, accuracy and most of all, manage the expectations of my organisation. The quality of candidates that they provide is always high and is tailored to suit the specific requirements we have; giving me a range of individuals that could suit us, taking on board our culture, structure, remuneration and job specific requirement. Working with the consultants, Alexander Lloyd are always friendly, engaging and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other organisations.
I judge an agency on two things - responsiveness and suitability of candidates. On both counts, Alexander Lloyd came up trumps.
Over the past three years, the Alexander Lloyd team have done an exceptional job in learning our business, understanding our HR needs, and providing qualified and referenced HR candidates for any open positions we have in the team. Because of their in depth knowledge and understanding of our business, the strategic nature of our HR service delivery, and our individual team member requirements, we can expedite the recruitment process by quickly honing in on talented HR professionals who match our unique requirements and will thrive in our organisation. Our partnership with Alexander Lloyd has been exceptional and provided tremendous value.
I have used the services of Alexander Lloyd on numerous occasions over the past 10 years. Their knowledge, experience and their professional nature has produced a good, honest and productive working relationship that ensured that we only received candidates that were suitable for our roles.
We have been working with Alexander Lloyd for two years now, and the level of service that we receive has consistently been of the highest calibre. They take the time out to understand our company culture and core values. The level of professionalism is outstanding, but always delivered with a very personal touch. Alexander Lloyd want a good deal, for their clients and candidates. It is for these reasons that we have built a lasting business relationship, and long may it continue.
Very keen to understand requirements and to push candidates through quickly. Very good ongoing service to both Hewitt and candidates.
My consultant is helpful, cheerful and efficient. He understands our staff preferences and supplies good quality candidates
Very friendly and helpful. I am not pestered, I like the fact I only have one point of contact on my account.
We approached Alexander Lloyd to find us a Compliance Manager for a small short term lending business in Bicester. We were provided with several CVs, which were all within the specification that we had requested, and interviewed some candidates - all of whom were described on CV and by AL's [Alexander Lloyd's] staff if terms of personality, aptitude etc. We ended up appointing someone who our business has described as the 'best hire we've had this year'.
Thank you for providing an excellent candidate who had the relevant experience for the position so that we did not need to trawl through other applicants who were less well qualified or suited to the position.
What sets Alexander Lloyd apart from the other recruitment companies is their understanding of the clients business and recruitment needs. Alexander Lloyd takes the time to learn about the client and operate a policy of sending only quality candidates that meet the brief. Alexander Lloyd put the relationship at the forefront of the services that they offer and as a result this differentiates them from the rest.
Alexander Lloyd made the effort to come and see me in person, and talked me through each CV to give a clear picture of candidates. I also felt there was an attention to detail in understanding our role that meant the quality of candidates identified was good. I wouldn't hesitate to give them a call next time a role comes up
They build strong relationships and take time to get to know their clients and their candidates
My consultant offered a professional approach and I feel she made great efforts to understand my and our business needs. The profiles of the candidates offered were of a good standard in comparison to the job description. Alexander Lloyd were responsive and listened to my feedback and didn't do the hard sell unnecessarily if I had doubts or rejected a candidate that I deemed unsuitable. Overall, Alexander Lloyd offers a smooth recruitment experience with a professional and open approach.
The level of candidates that was offered was a good standard in terms of job requirements. They were always quick to respond, listened to my comments and there was not too much pressure if I was unsure or rejected a candidate.
We had a period of uncertainty regarding our budgets and requirements. Alexander Lloyd remained patient and understanding to this and to our subsequent requirement changes.
Professional approach, we have spent time with the consultants so they understand our business.
I know that I can rely on Alexander Lloyd to fill a vacancy!
Very professional and relationship driven. Great client and candidate experience.
I've worked with Alexander Lloyd for a number of years, both when hiring HR team members and also as a candidate. They get to know both parties really well so that when sourcing, they instinctively know if both parties will meet the other's expectations. Alexander Lloyd are open and honest, which works for me, as I know exactly what to expect and it also gives me an indication of the compromises I might need to make.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Simon Geere at Alexander Lloyd. He took the time to meet with me personally at the very start of the process and really listened to what I was saying. He had a very hands-on approach to all the appointments, and had clearly built up a good rapport with candidates. All of the candidates presented to me were first class, and had a good understanding about our firm and our requirements from Simon. It really was a great experience, and I would definitely return to them for our HR recruitment.
My experience was good working with the consultant for my HR recruitment. He listened to what I wanted, didn't waste my time with inappropriate CVs and followed up on the process in a very timely manner.
We very rarely use agencies; however the Consultant has always been very pleasant and not pushy, so if the need arose I would happily use her.
I would use Alexander Lloyd again because of their professional approach, expertise and quality of candidates.
I was very happy with the quality of service provided.
Thank you very much indeed for all your support during my lengthy job search. Alexander Lloyd was far and away the best agency in terms of regular contact, sensible role suggestions, response to queries, etc, so I'll be recommending you to anyone I know who's on the market.
The team at Alexander Lloyd are both efficient and practical in their approach to managing recruitment assignments. Our requests have, without exception been managed professionally and the service provided fully meets our high expectations. The Alexander Lloyd team have taken time to understand our business needs together with the personalities involved. This has been reflected in the very successful conversion of the short lists provided to appointments within our Company. I have confidence in Alexander Lloyd to manage any vacancy which falls within their specialist areas of recruitment and would have no hesitation in recommending Alexander Lloyd to others who are looking for a very professional recruitment team.
I have always found the HR Division extremely professional. They actively listen, are quick to respond and are always friendly with a nothing is too much trouble attitude.
I am writing simply to register my thanks to one of your Consultants for the manner in which he assisted our organisation, Mission Care, in placing an HR Manager recently. It was quite a difficult placement (with a G.O.R. applying to the role), and I was impressed with both the consultants professionalism and ability to deliver a good result. We would be keen to use your organisation again in the future should the need arise.
I have used Alexander Lloyd at 2 separate organisations to resource senior HR generalists, and on both occasions I was impressed by their approach to the assignments. On each occasion, a Consultant came for a full briefing of the role, and to understand the cultural nuances of the organisations in question. Following this, the shortlists were presented quickly and clearly, with candidates strengths and weaknesses highlighted to me. I found the end to end process painless, and was very happy with the quality of candidates presented, and subsequent hires. I would definitely recommend Alexander Lloyd for any Human Resources search requirements in the South East.
"My experience working with Alexander Lloyd has been very positive. You listened to the challenges I had at my previous role and found me a great job with a company that could not have been more opposite.You kept in regular contact during my probation to make sure I was still liking the job and there were no issues.I would certainly recommend Alexander Lloyd to friends and colleagues who were looking for a new role."
We have been impressed by the professional and efficient recruitment service provided to us by Alexander Lloyd in supplying HR professionals to our business. Our Account Manager has a good understanding of our requirements and is commercially focused, and partners closely with the business to ensure that we recruit the best people.
We have been pleased to work with Alexander Lloyd on a number of occasions and have always found them to be incisive, helpful and professional. Recently we had two hard-to-fill senior HR roles but-with expert help from Alexander Lloyd we filled both very promptly with excellent candidates.
Over the last year we have worked with Alexander Lloyd whilst looking to fill a number of senior HR posts within our team. The Consultant took the time to visit our offices and understand our requirements and the culture of our business. The candidates they shortlisted fitted the brief and they kept in touch throughout the process. I would definitely use Alexander Lloyd for our senior HR recruitment again.
Alexander Lloyd said they could find us a good candidate for an HR role. And they did. Job done.
Very helpful and provided good quality candidates
We have had good service from Alexander Lloyd for several years. I have always had a quick response in generating applicants for short and longer term casework. The calibre of those we have taken on has been good and I would have no qualms about recommending this Agency to others for their HR needs.
We have used the services of Alexander Lloyd for a number of years to assist us in the recruitment of permanent and temporary Human Resources personnel. These have ranged from Senior HR Directors to Training and Recruitment Managers and Assistants. We have always found the quality of service provided by them in brief taking through to the placement of chosen candidates, professional and efficient. Their selection of the candidates has met the brief as close as possible and the consultants have managed the assignments efficiently and effectively. We are happy to continue to use the consultancy service of Alexander Lloyd in our requirements and have no hesitation in recommending them to other potential client companies looking for this type of Human Resources consultancy service.
Alexander Lloyd have always been helpful in assisting me with my recruitment needs.
Was very pleased with the service that we received from Alexander Lloyd. The candidate CVs were focused to the roles that we had advertised and where a suitable candidate was not identified, we were not flooded with unsuitable alternatives. Once candidates for interview were identified, you provided me with a good service in terms of organising the interviews and providing feedback from and to the candidates. Ultimately, we sourced a good candidate from you to fill one of our vacancies, who is doing a good job for us, and we came close to securing another good candidate. As a consequence, I would be very happy to use Alexander Lloyd again for our future recruitment needs.
I have had dealings with Alexander Lloyd for around 3 years and have always found them to be professional and friendly in their approach. All staff I have had contact with work hard to ensure that only quality, job specific and relevant CVs are passed through for review-the applicants selected for interview are all of a high standard.
Alexander Lloyd provided us with a comprehensive range of candidates from which we were able to select the right person for the role. Their prompt and responsive approach to our recruitment needs helped make the entire process efficient and effective.
The personal contact we have with the consultant is important. They will always respond to any requests in a very timely and efficient manner.
They select the right candidate for the right job with good efficient customer service
Always helpful and they are proactive in finding the right candidate
They provide me with sought after, rare candidates and the consultants are very professional.
Very efficient and are more than able to support my recruitment and business growth requirements.
Would say that as an agency you provide an excellent service and only put the best candidates forward for the role in a very quick time. You have a great understanding of our business and we've recruited a number of your candidates over the past couple of years.
Alexander Lloyd are truly excellent at partnering with their clients; listening carefully to the brief and only sending candidates who are a close fit. It made my job so much easier to know that - almost like working with an extension of my own team!
I had used Alexander Lloyd as a candidate and valued the support and approach of the people there. When I had some recruitment needs for my team I turned to them and have been really impressed with both the quality of candidates and how seamless everything has been.

Stocks lost further ground Tuesday as investors moved to lock in profits on wariness over market overheating after the recent rapid rally.
The 225-issue Nikkei average closed down 90.95 points, or 0.86 percent, at 10,508.06. On Monday, the key market gauge fell 89.10 points.
The Topix index of all first-section issues dropped 9.18 points, or 1.04 percent, to end at 871.88, after slipping 7.45 points the previous day.
The Tokyo market opened lower as mainstay issues met with profit-taking following overnight falls in European and U.S. markets and the yen's slight rise against the dollar.
The Nikkei average briefly recovered into positive territory in the midmorning as the yen slightly eased against other major currencies.
In the afternoon, the key index extended losses, led by index futures.
Despite Monday's decline in the indexes, some technical indicators still signal that the Tokyo market has been overheating, brokers said.
"The market's speed adjustment has not been completed," said Kenichi Hirano, adviser and market analyst at Tachibana Securities Co. "I hope a sense of overheating will be reduced while the Nikkei average is moving around 10,500 for some more days," he added.
Hopes for economic policies to be taken by the new government continue providing support for the market, brokers noted. Tokyo stocks "are unlikely to fall substantially, as there are no massive sellers," Hirano said.
The Nikkei average was fluctuated by speculative selling of index futures ahead of the fixing of special quotation to settle January options contracts on Friday, brokers said.
Losers outnumbered winners 1,013 to 565 in the TSE's first section, while 116 issues were unchanged. Volume edged down to 3.519 billion shares from Monday's 3.531 billion.
JGBs stay steady
The key Japanese government bond futures contract ended little changed Tuesday.
The March contract on 10-year JGBs ended down 0.01 point from Monday at 143.43. Volume grew to 37,939 contracts from 30,295.
In late interdealer trading in cash JGBs, the yield on the latest 326th 10-year issue with a 0.7 percent coupon stood at 0.825 percent, down from 0.835 percent late Monday.

"I absolutely LOVED this design! I got the double matted paper weight and the quality was simply better than I honestly expected. I actually used this design as a gift certificate for my photography, since I had quite a few clients asking to purchase photography sessions for their families. I loved how I could customize text and be able to place several different pictures on the design. These were an absolute hit with all my clients! I definitely will be ordering from tiny prints in the future again! Highly recommended!"
"We wanted something simple, yet beautiful for our baby's birth announcements. We selected the pearl paper, and it's just what we hoped for."
"First time customer, not sure what to expect. Birth/moving announcement was what I needed so went with Tiny Prints even though the cost was a little more than other vendors. TOTALLY worth it. Paper was thick and resolution was crisp. Even the envelopes that came with the cards were decent. I will buy my holiday cards from this company and future invites."
"This card looks great and the quality is very good. We were worried that the white might not show up on our photo, but it came out beautiful and vibrant. The signature matte printing is so professional looking. AWESOME CARD."
"Quality paper and much larger than expected. Beautiful color printing.. Added three images and they are all very crisp and clear. Love it all around. Such a deal for the quality!"

I have a revolver I am trying to identify what type of ammo it takes. I would appreciate any help.
It is a 5 shot top break revlover. On the top of the barrel it says Forehand arms Co. Worcester Mass. U.S.A. Pat'd DEC.7.86&Jan.11.87 And the grips say F&W.
It appears to be some type of .38
The barrel diameter from grove to grove is about .359
The diameter of the cylinders are about .391- .396
The Cylinder is only 1.213 long.
And based on the powder residue the case length appears to be about .7 long (That is a very rough measurement)
I think it is either a .38 S&W or a .38 Colt short/ .38 new police. But I am having a very hard time finding any dimensions on either of those types of ammo so I don't know which one it is. Some information I find say that they are interchangeable the only difference is the new police/ colt short is a wadcutter and the S&W is rounded.
If anyone needs other dimensions let me know. Also I will try and put up pictures tomorrow when I bring my camera.

Broken bones and scars both seem to be fairly common, if unfortunate, occurrences. However, these injuries can actually turn into serious problems that can adversely affect your health and well-being. Badly broken bones and severe scars can occur as a result of anything from car accidents to slips and falls.
Bone fractures and scars can permanently affect your life, and they should be treated with the utmost care and concern. If you have suffered a bone fracture or now bear a disfiguring scar as a result of something like a slip and fall, auto accident, or other injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation to aid you in your recovery. To learn more, contact a Milwaukee broken bones and scarring attorney from Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® today at (414) 271-0900.
Normally, a fractured bone is simply wrapped in a cast while the patient rests for a few weeks. However, some broken bones come with complications that can mean months of pain and disability. Potential complications from fractures include:
Sadly, even a simple fracture can lead to serious health problems.
For many people, a scar provides a chance to tell a story of a mishap or even an adventure. However, for some people, a scar can actually represent a very painful time in their lives. Scars can be debilitating, and they can leave you with permanent problems such as:
These are all unacceptable, and are made even worse if scarring resulted from the negligent and preventable actions of another person or entity. If you now suffer as a result of another's negligence, you should fight back by talking to a scar attorney immediately.
Both scars and broken bones are injuries common to a wide variety of accidents. However, they should absolutely be taken seriously. If you are a victim of another party's reckless actions, resulting in broken bones or scarring, please contact a Milwaukee broken bones and scar lawyer from Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at (414) 271-0900 today.

You could try it on a small section in the back of your hair first to see how it goes. I get the best results when I do that protein treatment then I do a deep conditioner right after.
I apply that treatment with a spray bottle. let it hang down my back over a towel and sit under the dryer. You could try it with a hand held dryer and a defuser as long as you don't touch your hair. It dries really hard. I think the treatment needs the heat to work best. Protein treatments can make your hair hard so I usually do a deep conditioner right after ...I use morrocan oil hydrating deep conditioner or argan oil hydrating masque by Every Strand. Hope that helps.

The pioneering work of Carle Woese has broken down the confines of thinking that organisms are either eukaryotes or prokaryotes. Three lines of evolutionary descent are now suggested - eubacteria, eukaryotes and archaebacteria. Archaebacteria are so named because they all grow in extreme environments which are thought to have existed during early life on earth. This conference explored the biochemistry and molecular biology of these organisms and then examined how these cells and their uniquely stable constituents might be used to meet the demands of industry's biotechnological future.

What up party people,
I was fortunate enough to get t-boned in my Acura a couple weeks ago and am going to use this opportunity to get the car I've been drooling over for the last year or so.
I'm planning on leasing a 2010 Impreza WRX and have been doing nothing but research on them. Mainly though... I've been doing research on all the ways a salesmen tries to scam you.
I've already been trolling this site for a while and finally got around to registering.
Hope to learn much about the community.

Tejano star Navaira's survival chances improving
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Grammy-winning Tejano music star Emilio Navaira's chances of survival are improving, his doctor said on Wednesday, following a crash this week in which he was thrown through the windshield of his tour bus.
"I feel optimistic that he will not die," Dr. Alex Valadka said at a news conference. "He's done about as well as can be expected."
Navaira, 45, had been in grave condition following Sunday's early morning crash, and Valadka had said there was "a chance he may not make it." The neurosurgeon cautioned on Wednesday that something adverse might still happen to Navaira.
"He can still take a turn for the worse," he said.
Valadka led a team of surgeons who removed a hand-sized portion of Navaira's skull on Tuesday to reduce pressure from a bruise forming on the left side of the singer's brain.
The operation was the second surgery to relieve pressure on the brain after the bus Navaira was driving crashed into a concrete highway barrier in the Houston suburb of Bellaire, Texas.
Navaira remained unconscious in critical condition at Memorial Hermann hospital. He is expected to stay in the intensive care unit for up to two weeks.
The singer likely faces a long recovery lasting at least several months, Valadka said. Until he awakens, doctors are unable to tell how much brain damage he may have suffered.
The area of the brain where the bruise formed is near where speech recognition is controlled, he said. The doctors did not attempt to reduce the bruise for fear of causing further harm. Continued...

The bathroom was a little dark, not much light available. Don't get me wrong I "loved" the bathroom, it was very unique but at times a little dark especially for a lady putting her make-up on.
Surrounding Area:
We loved that this property wasn't in the busy town of Fira. It was about 10 minutes, maybe, away. The little town we stayed in, Megalochori, was quiet and peaceful. Within walking distance were several choice restaurants. All just our speed.
Nearby Events or Locales:
We were actually in the heart of a very small town, Megalochori, Santorini. Yes, it was within walking distance. If you wanted to visit the more popular, scenic, incredibly busy Fira it was about a 10 minute drive with parking pretty close. You park but then walk the rest of the way into town.
Tips or Restaurants:
Everything was great! You don't need to reserve a car as they provide one with the rental of the villa. The best restaurant we enjoyed on this island was "RAKI." It was actually owned by the manager of the property. We ended up eating at his restaurant the first and fourth (final) evenings. Very delicious!
We were met at the airport and driven to our rental property. We were given a map which was very helpful to get around the island and find towns, beaches etc. Again, we also had my cell phone GPS if needed.
Check In Out:
No, the manager was very thorough, pleasant, and answered all of our questions. Service was exceptional.
This villa is tucked away in the heart of Megalochori, a quiet, traditional village on an eastward-facing slope, just a 200 meter stroll uphill from the main square. This village is the center of the island's wine production industry, so it's a great area to be if you like to go tasting. The main square is host to a couple of tavernas for eating out in local style. It is about 10 km away from Fira, the cliff-side town looking into the heart of the Caldera. One of Greece's most popular islands, Santorini has a fascinating geological history, as it is of volcanic origin. Throughout recorded history, parts of the island have dropped into the sea, while new islands have suddenly appeared off the coast! The island forms a crescent around the "Caldera," or cauldron-- the collapsed center of the volcano. It is an enviable view! Fira is the capital of the island, host to the Archaeological Museum. Its main streets are filled with shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. That's right... Santorini is also famous for its thriving nightlife! Your choices for activities are almost endless... you can relax on red and black sand beaches, take a boat around the islands, hike around the cliffs, go shopping, or even take a ferry to other islands in the area.

UPDATE 2-Netflix shares soar after surprise profit
By Lisa Richwine
Jan 23 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc surprised Wall Street on Wednesday with a quarterly profit after the video subscription service added nearly 4 million customers in the United States and abroad, sending its shares 34 percent higher.
The dominant U.S. video rental company had warned three months ago that it expected a loss for the October to December period as it paid startup costs for an aggressive expansion into Scandinavia and other foreign markets.
Netflix beat that guidance by reporting $8 million in net income for the fourth quarter, or 13 cents per share. Revenue rose to $945 million. The company also forecast it will add 1.7 million members in the first three months of 2013, though it forecasts net income to be "relatively flat" due to declining profit from the DVD business and higher global operating costs.
Shares of the company surged 34 percent after Netflix released its results, reaching $138.14 in after-hours trading, after closing at $103.26.
"They did surprisingly well with subscriber growth and profitability," Lazard Capital Markets analyst Barton Crockett said. "It was a very good quarter."
Netflix said it added 2.1 million customers during the quarter to its U.S. streaming business, its largest segment, for a total of 27.2 million at the end of 2012.
In international markets, the company gained 1.8 million subscribers. The total Netflix subscriber base for Latin America, Canada and parts of Europe reached 6.1 million. Continued...

Hey Guys,
Thank you so much, this is a great feature that will be extremely useful in my upcoming wordpress theme.
Yes all you need to do is contact support. I believe they only allow you to change your name once per account so be sure that your certain of the name change. Hope this helps.
As some of you may know, outside of themeforest I am a licensed Pilot. So naturally I would have to want one of these, the Icon A5. It is my goal to have one of these within the next 5 years.
As long as I can remember I have always wanted an SRT8 .. Either the Dodge Charger SRT8 or the Chrysler 300 SRT8 with a 6.1 Liter V8 HEMI . Lets just say they are pretty fast.
Yeah definitely well deserved! Congrats!
Hey Jar,
Cool site, try this once and see if it will work.
For the #main-nav-wrapper change the z-index to 100.
For the #slider .nivo-controlNav change the z-index to 99.
Yeah as Cudazi said, check over on codecanyon in the wordpress plugins section, I wont link to it but there is one that looks pretty promising for what you need.
The hardest part for me is getting started with the color scheme. It takes me forever to decide on that or implement one that I find online. How do you guys pick/use a color scheme?
Haha that is very interesting.. LiveScript sounds much cooler and takes care of some confusion. Should we start a movement?

Yet another question about bonding fiberglass to metal
First off, I'm making custom widened quarter panels for my car. Its not just a fender flare, its a little more complicated. About 1/2 of the panel will be custom, and the other 1/2 will be stock.
I can't remake the entire quarter panel out of fiberglass, that would be an insane amount of work, and I would never get it right.
I want to make the widened part of the quarter panel out of fiberglass, and mold that to the rest of the metal body. I want to use fiberglass because of the weight savings, its ease of working with, and the fact that it will never rust.
I've read every single thread on this board about bonding fiberglass to metal, some things were mentioned, but nobody really came to a solid conclusion.
I know that fiberglass and metal expand and contract at different rates, so you can't just slap one on the other an expect it to last.
But I do want it to last, so is there some type of buffer material that i can place between the fiberglass and the metal, like some kind of malleable adhesive to allow the glass to move around a bit?
Also, I hear there is some stuff that you can mix in with your paint so that the paint will not completely dry, to make the paint more flexible. Could I use this ontop of where the metal meets the glass (where the cracking is going to be) so that when the glass does move around, it wont crack the paint?
Is this ever going to work or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and rig up something ugly with metal? Please be open minded, I really want this to work.

for the Magneplanar 1.6QR
In deciding to purchase Magneplaner 1.6QRs, I auditioned many other speakers over a several month period. Typically, I auditioned these with the following CDs, among others:
Patricia Barber: Café Blue (especially: "Too rich for my blood")
Diana Krall: Love Scenes
Sara K: Hobo
Dadawa: Sister Drum
These provided a good test of the speakers' abilities. Other speakers auditioned—all with different components and in different listening environments, some better than others (in relative order of preference on a 5 point scale, 5 being best):
Joseph Audio RM22si (4.5)
Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII (4.5)
B & W Nautilus 805 (4.0)
Platinum Audio Duos (4.0)
Cabasse Farella (4.0)
Dunlavy I and II (4.0)
Hales Design Group Revelation Three (3.5)
Lynn AV 5140 (3.5)
Paradigm Reference Studio 80 (3.5)
PSB Stratus Gold I (3.0)
Mirage OM6 (3.0)
Thiel CS1.5 (3.0)
Martin Logan Arerius (3.0)
I was particularly interested in speakers that could fill a relatively large room (W 20' x L 35') with a high, vaulted ceiling (15' at apex). I wanted the speakers to be accurate, detailed, and capable of producing a profound soundstage. The Maggies did this, and did it well; and they did it for considerably less than any of the speakers mentioned above, all of which I would have been willing to purchase if I had liked them as much as the Maggies. Other individuals, with different tastes in music, different listening environments, and different musical demands might very well rank the above speakers quite differently. For example, if I had had a small listening room, the Joseph Audios or Dynaudios would have been a great choice. If I preferred heavy rock, then maybe the Platinums or Paradigms would have been better.
I have now had the Maggies for approximately two weeks, and have been listening regularly to all types of recordings (both digital and vinyl). Although they are certainly not "broken in" yet, they sound better in my listening environment than in the two show rooms where I auditioned them. The room is carpeted. They are about 3' from the back wall, 3' from the side walls, and 6.5' apart; my listening seat is about 12' away. They are toed in slightly. I also have them bi-wired. [It is also very interesting to sit directly between them—gives one the impression of being part of the band!]
They disappear into a very large and engaging soundstage. I can safely say that I will never go back to box/dynamic speakers again. The published reviews of these speakers (July 1998 Fi; Jan. 1999 Stereophile) are quite accurate. In terms of dynamics, accuracy, and coherence, they are nearly perfect. I do not find the supposed lack of bass slam to be a problem—the bass is tight and accurate. I feel no need for a subwoofer. Nor did I find setting them up, and positioning them to be very difficult. I may play with this in the future, but am quite happy after only spending a few minutes positioning them.
The only potential issues I see with these speakers is their long waiting list (I had to wait 3.5 months for mine)—but I think that reflects the audio bargain that these speakers represent. The binding posts are not the easiest to use, but work well once set up. If a user plans to switch speaker cables regularly, this could be a bit of a pain.
These are revealing speakers, however, and may not be appropriate for some (especially "pop") recordings. But isn't this the irony of high-end audio? The better the equipment, the more you limit yourself in terms of what you can listen too! Nevertheless, it is enjoyable to listen again to old records and CDs, discovering nuances in the music that simply weren't revealed with my former system.
Most importantly, the Maggies are spectacularly engaging and musical—they make it enjoyable to close one's eyes, forget about equipment, and simply listen! It is wonderful to let the music envelope you! And that is the bottom line, I think. I heartily recommend that anyone looking for speakers in the $1,000 to $3,000 range audition the 1.6QRs (realizing, of course, that high quality amplification is important).

I'm having trouble getting my wife interested in the 1.6 -mainly because of an unsatisfactory dealer demo. We brought some of our favorite cds of acoustic music [mostly Baroque] and were chagrined by a hard, metallic, 'in-your-face' presentation that had us both cringing and beating a diplomatic retreat. What went wrong here? Why do these speakers sometimes sound completely inimicable to music? [The room was a a major part of it no doubt -a concrete box. Electronics were by Bryston with a modest Linn cd player.]

I tried a pair in my room and didn't really care for them. The older 3.5R is a better speaker to my ears. The 1.6's are really rolled off in the highs, have little to no bass foundation, and the most annoying thing I found was the soundstaging.. the images seemed to want to stay on the panels. I tried both SS and tubes, with and without subwoofers, and 3 different crossover points for the subs along with many different positions in the room. They also tend to be too "upfront" IMO. I also found the midrange has a "plastic" coloration that can be bothersome after listening to a good electrostat (Eros) or a less colored dynamic speaker (Coincident Super Eclipse).
For the money they are a good value but..
I'd buy used 3.5r's over them in a heartbeat.

I've never heard the Maggies, but recently I heard Linn's 3 CDPs demo'd in an all-Linn system. The cheapest player (Genki) sounded harsh, bright, hard; wasn't impressed at all. The midline model (Ikemi) was a big improvement; the sound was much smoother and more natural, with better definition and control. I think I could live with it. The top-of-the-line CD12 was better still - more refined and effortless, but the difference wasn't as dramatic as that between the Genki/Ikemi.
If the Linn CDP you heard was the Genki, that might be another contributing factor to the sound that chased you out.
In my experience, and many others around here, that it's not so much the speakers themselves or the electronics that cause this, but it's the back raditaion of the Maggies that interacts a great deal with the wall and room. Maggies take a lot of care to setup properly and chances are that they won't sound good just thrown in the room with little thought to sound absorbtion and finite placement adjustments. These details matter so much more with Maggies than with other more traditional speakers that aren't so finicky.
I am almost certain that it was the room that was causing the pain with what you heard. Those electronics should work just fine with the 1.6s, actually probably very good. Was there any sound absorbtion panels on the back wall either in between the speakers or directly behind and slightly off to the outside? How much room was behind them, and to the sides? If they are too close to the side wall, you will pick up hardness from the wall reflection. If they are not out from the back wall far enough they will condense the soundstage and the imaging will sound flat. Also, how high were the ceilings? Were they dropped panels or drywall? It will make a difference in such a large surface.
Watch out for a dealer that tells you he used a formula to position the Maggies. While this may work pretty good with standard cone speakers, it usually doesn't work with Maggies. You have to just use the formula placement as a very general guide and experiment from there. Maggies interact too much with the room they are in. Toe in angles make a huge differences too.
Some people experiment with swapping the speakers, so the tweets are on the inside, this works for some people. I find in my room it confines the soundstage though. Some folks, like Mart, have closed up the back altogether by using a towel or something. This has a dramatic effect on the hardness. It's amazing how much the room sets it's impression on the final sound. But, again, I feel like this eliminates the "air" and ambiance too much for me. Right now I'm experimenting only covering the back of the tweeter, and leaving the mids and bass free to raditate out the back. I think I may be on to something here. I am liking the initial results. I need to play around with it some more. Another possibility is using resisitors for the tweeter. Did the set you heard have them in? Magnepan sends along a 1 ohm one, but you can get resistors of more or less resistance to lower or raise the tweeter output. This also makes a large difference in the upper registers depending on whether your room is too dead or too alive.
I'd get the dealer to loan you a pair before making any judgement calls on them. I wouldn't bother listening to them much at all at the dealer showroom, because in your own room they very likely to sound much, much different.
Good Luck.
I think you're right that the room acoustics play an important part. I think for Maggies to sound right, the room has to be appropriately damped. Will they let you do a home audition? That would be the best way to see if these are the right speakers for you. Seems to me they should sound great with Baroque music.
about their placement? When I owned maggies I was told by both the dealer and Magnepan themselves NOT to have the distances from the side walls and the back wall be equal. Something about phasing or cancellations. You said you had yours 3 feet in and 3 feet out. Now my logic tells me that you wouldn't want to put them any further apart, that would have the potential to destroy the center image, but why not move them out a little more into your room, maybe a foot or so. That would get you away from that equal-equal situation. Incidently this was the one aspect of positioning that was stressed over anything else, avoiding the equal-equal situation.
Since I live in the Minneapolis area I have had the privilege of touring the Magnepan plant. They are very gracious people there and Jim Winey's son (I forget his name) showed me around and took the time to explain everything. At no point did I feel hurried, al this was done without me having made any prior appointment! The reason I had stopped was to get some tips on positioning, since I did not think I had things quite right in my room. That was when he said that you can do almost anything as far as experimenting around to get 'em right, just don't do the equal-equal thing. He also said to try (I have mentioned this before) trading the speakers places. This puts the tweeter on the other side of the panel, which was how I ended up leaving mine.
I used to listen to Magnepans as decribed in the MG1.6QR review (more or less like normal dynamic box cone speakers!) until I started experimenting. Maggies are not normal......they are extra special and you can really reap the benefits of this speaker if you are willing to "think outside the box" (hee...hee...Magnepan should copyright this slogan since it so fitting). One of the clues to what I prefer as better placement (IMO) is to start with the speakers 1/3 of the way into the room (it seems like they are 1/2 way)and least as far (or farther) apart as you, the listener sit away from them. I consistantly place the speakers 7 ft apart(edge to edge)and sit about 7 ft away. I know you guys are going to slaughter me on this but this works in my situation.....and for 6 or 7 years I set up my Magnepans like the stupid manual sez....like NORMAL box speakers (mainly because NO ONE WOULD BUY HUGE PANEL SPEAKERS if they sounded best in the middle of your listen area just a audiophile-body length away!!!!!!P.S. The Christmas sockings hanging over the glass fireplace insert also really help the sound out.....Merry Christmas!
Was the tour by Wendel? He also gave me a gracious tour but I didn't know he might be related to Winey.
No, his name was not Wendel. Steve comes to mind, but this was in the early 90's and I am a little foggy.
thanks, Rick. I'm sure I try moving things around at some point. Already, I removed the spacers that Magneplan provides to tilt the panels back slightly. They are now completely vertical, which opened up the soundstage a bit (it was too low before). I will try moving them into the room a bit more.
I agree that Magnepan is a good company, and that is important. this is also why I like Bryston. Quality is important.
I've owned few pair of Magnepan before and this is exactly how I felt about them...sheer musical and pure magic. Do not critize them prematurely simply because a proper setup (including room) is a must to be able to truely appreciate their virtues. Though I don't own them at the moment because of the room and system (SET-based), I definitely place them in my top wanted list once the situation allows.
I went to listen to Magnepans a few years ago, but they were either blown, or the setup was horrible. The salesman turned them off pretty quickly. Haven't made it back yet...
After reading your review, I think I will get a lot more out of an audition. Hearing a well reasoned personal opinion helps the evaluation process. Especially when the initial "in store" auditions will probably be at different locations.
You've done a wonderful job of describing the Magnepans. I've owned five pair in my life, starting with the original II's up to my current IIIa's. As I've moved from state to state, and back and forth from Europe, I've reluctantly had to move to more conventional (i.e., smaller) speakers on occasion. Each time I found myself "missing" something in the music and bought new Magnepans as soon as space and/or finances would allow. Botom line: there's a BIG difference between listening to music on conventional speakers and experiencing music with Magnepans.
Nice review. You described how they sound nicely and I do not think they are ugly or bass shy.
