text: HOUSTON , Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Validas, a leader in mobile analytics, has announced a "Giving" campaign with Seven Bar Foundation to channel dollars overspent on wireless bills into micro-finance to empower women. "Women make up the third emerging market next to India and China and create 70% of the content on Social Media," explained Kerry Chrapliwy, Validas CMO. Seven Bar is a non-profit that harnesses the power of luxury marketing to fuel micro-finance, empowering women out of poverty and into self-sufficiency. The Foundation connects consumer brands to influencers rooted in the mantra of "profits for purpose."

As part of the "Giving" campaign, Validas and Seven Bar will re-direct the power of fashion and technology to reduce and repurpose wireless waste, which Validas estimates cost Americans over $52 billion dollars in 2012. Wireless waste is the money unnecessarily spent on unused data, texts and minutes on mobile bills. The official campaign launches January 24 th at the Ambassadors River View at the United Nations. Until then anyone can go to savelovegive.com and sign up free for VERA, and Validas will donate $3 per user, up to $100,000, to the Seven Bar Foundation. About Seven Bar The Seven Bar Foundation, a 501(c)3, empowers women through microfinance by driving profits with purpose with cause-marketing brand partners. To reach a critical mass, the Foundation hosts the top couture and luxury lingerie shows in the world. Together with the Foundation's alliances, Seven Bar enables women in need to start or grow their own small businesses, breaking the cycle of poverty via microfinance. About Validas Validas® is a mobile intelligence firm helping Fortune 500s and wireless carriers understand their "big data" in mobile via patented software.

A delicious and substantial breakfast is included - eggs cooked your way, traditional Colombian arepas, fresh fruit, cereal, coffee, fresh juice and bread basket. The hotel has two small pools - essential for a cooling dip during the HOT afternoons. We stayed in one of the suites that had 2 bedrooms with king beds and 2 balconies facing the front of the hotel - fun for people watching and hanging out. It did get a little noisy in the evening - there was even an elderly gentlemen who walks the streets around 11pm rolling a booming music box, like a wheeled suitcase, playing popular Colombian music. I found it charming and fun, as it added to the ambiance and party feel of the city, but if you plan to go to bed early, don't request a front room with a balcony. ...

Marriage & Family Therapy
If you're looking for premier training in preserving marriage and strengthening families, you've come to the right place.
Our Master of Science degree in Marriage & Family Therapy is aimed at preparing students to think and practice therapy from a systemic perspective. Throughout the curriculum, students are exposed to family structure and dynamics with direct experience in family violence, sexual abuse and substance-related issues that affect the system and subsystems.
A full-time, cohort experience
While many training programs offer online degrees and part-time opportunities, our program is a full-time, cohort experience that provides all of your clinical and supervisory hours, so you don't have to create your own. Being a part of a cohort, you have a sounding board that aids self-reflection, you have consistent study partners, and you are able to consult on cases together. The program begins once a year in August, so you will join a group of students who you will get to know in each of your classes and through your practicum placements spanning the entirety of the program.
Where knowledge meets experience
What makes our program stand out?
credit hours to complete the degree
licensures through one program
ratio for supervised client contact hours
total hours of face-to-face client contact
Learning beyond the classroom
Make direct clinical application of what you are learning to real life clients while having weekly supervision for those same cases. Completion of the program requires a minimum of 500 face-to-face client contact hours, 250 of which must be family/relational.
Two licensures, one program
Students satisfying requirements for the degree will be academically prepared to proceed toward the marriage and family therapy license in respective states.
We offer two additional courses embedded into the program to meet the academic requirements for LPC. Therefore our students can graduate and immediately pursue licensure for both LMFT & LPC.
A career you can count on

(NYSE: BXS), the parent company of BancorpSouth Bank (collectively referred to as "BancorpSouth"), announced today the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Central Community Corporation, headquartered in Temple, Texas, whereby Central Community Corporation will be merged with and into BancorpSouth, Inc. Central Community Corporation is the parent company of First State Bank Central Texas ("First State Bank"), which is headquartered in Austin, Texas. BancorpSouth currently has one other acquisition pending, Ouachita Bancshares Corp., which was announced on January 8, 2014. First State Bank operates 31 full-service banking offices; eleven (11) in the Austin - Round Rock, Texas area, eleven (11) in the Killeen - Temple - Fort Hood, Texas area, two (2) in Marble Falls, Texas, and seven (7) in various other communities in central Texas. As of December 31, 2013 (unaudited), Central Community Corporation, on a consolidated basis, reported total assets of $1.3 billion, total loans of $555.5 million and total deposits of $1.1 billion. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, BancorpSouth will issue approximately 7,250,000 shares of BancorpSouth common stock plus $28.5 million in cash for all outstanding shares of Central Community Corporation capital stock, subject to certain conditions and potential adjustments. The terms of the agreement provide that BancorpSouth will acquire Central Community Corporation's interest in First State Bank, Central Community Capital Trust 1, and First Central Union Capital Trust 1. Prior to the consummation of the transaction, Central Community Corporation will divest its interest in all other subsidiaries which, in aggregate, have book values totaling approximately $12 million. In addition, First State Bank will divest its interest in foreclosed property with book values totaling approximately $15 million. "We are very excited about the opportunity with Don Grobowsky and his team at First State Bank," commented Dan Rollins, Chief Executive Officer of BancorpSouth. "First State Bank is a bank with a very rich 100-plus year history and currently is the largest independent bank headquartered in Austin. This merger will give us the opportunity to expand our footprint into the vibrant central Texas market. The Austin, Texas MSA consistently ranks at or near the top of almost all statistical publications regarding economic drivers and activity. First State Bank has an operating philosophy and culture that will be a great fit with our bank and we expect their team to be an integral component of BancorpSouth's ability to continue to grow." "We would like to welcome the BancorpSouth family to central Texas," stated Donald Grobowsky, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Central Community Corporation. "We are excited about the additional products, services, and resources that our partnership with BancorpSouth will provide to our customers. Both organizations have been built on superior customer service and a commitment to the communities they serve. We look forward to partnering with the entire BancorpSouth team and contributing to the growth and success of our combined franchise." Upon completion of the merger, Don Grobowsky will join the Boards of Directors of BancorpSouth, Inc. and BancorpSouth Bank. He will also serve as BancorpSouth's Central Texas Area Chairman. Gerry Gamble will serve as Division President of the Austin Division, Richard Procter will serve as the Division President of the Hill Country Division and Randy Ramsey will serve as the Division President of the Temple Division. In addition, all of First State Bank's current market Presidents will continue to serve in their current roles. The merger has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close during the second quarter of 2014. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the approval by Central Community Corporation's shareholders and customary regulatory approvals.

For Sydneysiders, the winter of our content is making way for balmy, dry conditions more usually enjoyed in Brisbane.
August was more than 3 degrees above the long-term average for daily maximum temperatures, although just short of a monthly record set in 1995.
Combined with July's record warmth, Sydney will register its highest maximum, mean and possibly minimum average temperatures for winter.
Dominant high-pressure weather systems have nudged the mostly weak cold fronts well to the south for much of the season. As a result, the Harbour City has enjoyed 39 days of at least 20 degrees – not far short of half the winter – eclipsing the previous high of 37 such days.
Gardeners have enjoyed spring flowers in bloom as much as a month early. The arrival of birds such as the common koel and channel-billed cuckoo has been creeping forward for years, as twitchers have noted.
"Climate change is changing their migration patterns and birds are showing up earlier," said Holly Parsons, program manager of the Birds in Backyards project run by Birdlife Australia. Koels, for instance, are finding their way south to Bega and to Orange in the west, beyond their previous range.
Spring will start with unusual forecasts pointing to a week-long string of 23-degree days.
"We've never seen a week this warm so early," said Rob Sharpe, a meteorologist with Weatherzone. "We've got all this heat building up over central Australia" which is warming up south-eastern regions of the country.
Today may come close to being Australia's hottest winter day on record with the national average maximum of 29 degrees set on August 23, 1995 at risk of being broken.
Nationally, the year to date and the past 12 months are running at record highs according to mean temperatures, said Blair Trewin, a senior climatologist with the Bureau of Meteorology.
September begins tomorrow and forecasters are already looking at Sydney experiencing maximum temperatures well above the month's 20-degree average.
So far this year Sydney's mean temperatures ( average of maximums and minimums) are 1.8 degrees above the averages dating back to 1858.
"If we see those conditions persist . . . we'll come in ahead of the previous record" set in 2005, said Aaron Coutts-Smith, a bureau climatologist in NSW.
Ski resorts will find little joy in the warm outlook. After several decent snowfalls in August, conditions are likely to turn slushy with temperatures set to remain above zero for much of the coming fortnight, including days of 10 degrees or warmer.

Leica MZ FLIII fluorescence stereomicroscope has become indispensable
On a worldwide level, the unique Leica MZ FLIII fluorescence stereomicroscope has become indispensable for qualified research and analysis tasks in genetics and molecular biology. An affordable fluorescence system is now available for daily routine work, such as dissecting, selecting and sorting exprimed models, as well as for forensics and industrial stereo-fluorescence applications. The new Leica L5 FL fluorescence system for blue or green fluorescence can easily be adapted, even subsequently, to Leica S and M stereomicroscopes to be immediately operational. Since no high pressure mercury lamp is used, the Leica L5 FL is very easy to operate and is perfectly suitable for all types of lab work, education and training and as a handy fluorescence set in the field lab.
The complete equipment consists of a comfortable high-performance cold-light source, fiber optic light guide, illumination optics and filter holder. A filter wheel in the cold-light source with five filter holders for excitation, color and daylight filters and a filter changer for suppression filters in the observation beam path of the stereomicroscope allow for very quick changes between fluorescence and bright-field observation. The high luminous 250 W cold-light reflector lamp ensures intensive fluorescence images. The color temperature measures perfect 3350 °K and can be monitored on the LC display.

4 Methods of Maximizing and Monetizing Mobile Marketing Efforts
A recent study by Google showed nearly 75 percent of consumers surveyed said they want to see mobile-friendly sites. And if you're site isn't one of them, you may be losing leads and sales.
The fact that we're a nation that is on-the-go and pretty much living on our smartphones or tablets means that your website should be adapted to these mediums to help monetize your business.
It also means that thinking about mobile marketing and how to incorporate various forms of that into your marketing strategy should be high on your list for 2013.
Mobile-Friendly Must-Haves
There are certain "must-haves" that consumers noted they are looking for in a mobile-friendly website. Such features include:
1. Being fast. This means having a site that loads in around five seconds or less.
2. Being user-friendly. Having large buttons, easy search capabilities, limited scrolling or pinching are key, based on consumer feedback. Something to consider is having responsive templates that adjust accordingly based on the user's device, albeit template, desktop or mobile phone. It's also important to have quick access to company information, such as easy-to-find business directions, contact numbers, product and purchasing information. Even better, consider adding a "click to call" access button to contact a customer service rep to take an order via the phone, as well as an option for users to visit a non-mobile site.
3. Being social. To continue bonding and viral marketing, don't forget links to your business' social media profile page.
If you're a smaller business that may not have the staff or resources to include these features into your website, there are some free and trial mobile conversion websites worth checking out. These include: http://www.ginwiz.com, http://www.dudamobile.com/ and http://www.mobilizetoday.com.
The App Attack
If you're pondering if your business "app worthy" or how you can leverage apps for additional sales or leads, here's some food for thought …
Good article. Thanks. Research shows mobile marketing will grow even more over the next few years. If marketers don't embrace this platform, they're going to leave money (and opportunities) on the table.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Daughter of an opera singer and a female pianist, Simone moved to São Paulo at 16, pursuing a career as a basketball player (she even was a member of the national team). She recorded her first LP, Simone, in 1973. She was invited by Hermínio Bello de Carvalho to perform in Brussels, Belgium, and Paris, France, and recorded the live albums Simone et Roberto Ribeiro Avec João de Aquino à Bruxelles and Expo-Som 73 - Ao Vivo - Márcia, Leny Andrade, Simone, e Ary Vilela. Next came a tour through the U.S. and Canada. With João de Aquino, recording the live album Festabrasil - Simone e João de Aquino. The second LP came in 1975, Quatro Paredes, having hits with songs by João Bosco/Aldir Blanc. The first big radio hits were "Jura Secreta" (Sueli Costa/Abel Silva) and "Face a Face" (Sueli Costa/Cacaso). In 1976, she recorded "O Que Será" (Chico Buarque), which was the theme of Cacá Diegues's film Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos. She had "Cigarra" (of the homonymous LP, of 1978) written specially for her by Milton Nascimento/Fernando Brant. In 1979, she had her greatest hit with "Começar de Novo" (Ivan Lins/Vitor Martins), which was included in the Malu Mulher TV Globo series. The song was included in the Pedaços LP, which also had "Tô Voltando" (Maurício Tapajós/Paulo César Pinheiro), a representative song of the period of the end of the military regimen and of the advent of political amnesty. In 1980, she re-recorded another political song, the pacifist anthem "Pra Não Dizer Que Não Falei Das Flores" (Geraldo Vandré). She was the first artist to do so, as the song had been censored until then. She was the first singer to pack a stadium (Maracanãzinho) in 1981. In 1982, she brought 15,000 people each night to the Morumbi stadium (São Paulo). Simone was hired by the American CBS, recorded in the U.S, in the same year, being praised by critics. In that period, marked by huge success, she had hits with "Alma" (Sueli Costa/Abel Silva), "Tô Que Tô" (Kleiton/Kledir), "Um Desejo Só Não Basta" (Francisco Casaverde/Fausto Nilo), "Você é Real," and "Iolanda" (Pablo Milanéz/Chico Buarque). She released Café Com Leite in 1996; the CD was dedicated to Martinho da Vila's compositions, with the author sharing the track "Ex-Amor" with her.
Simone has continued to perform regularly in Brazil, Portugal, and the U.S. In 1997, she was included in the Sony Music Celebridades da MPB (MPB Celebrities) series (sharing the privilege with Ângela Maria, Sílvio Caldas, and Cauby Peixoto, with a four-CD box commemorating 25 years of her career (one year in advance). In 2000, she released Fica Comigo Esta Noite, with classics of the Brazilian romantic samba-canção repertory. ~ Alvaro Neder

Dodge Ram Wagon 2500 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Dodge Ram Wagon 2500 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
An intermittent connection in the crank position sensor wire connector can cause poor engine performance or the engine may crank but not start.
Our technicians tell us that there is a software upgrade for the ABS module to correct inaccurate speedometer readings.
For the 9.25" HD Rear Axle only, some vehicles may shudder or vibrate on brake apply. This can be caused by axle shafts, brake drums, or brake shoes. A complete inspection of the rear brakes may be required to isolate the cause of the vibration.
Some automatic transmissions may set a code P1740, torque converter fault. Our technicians tell us there is a revised transmission pressure boost valve cover plate to correct this condition.
Insufficient fuel pressure may be caused by particulate contaminates or other type of substances by-passing the primary fuel pick-up screen and resulting in fuel pump failure. Our technicians recommended to replace entire fuel pump module assembly as two (2) filters, primary and secondary are included with the assembly.
The engine may exhibit excessively high oil pressure at cold start up. This may lead to distortion of the oil filter case. Inspect the oil filter case for any signs of distortion. If the case is distorted, Connect an oil pressure gauge to the engine and start the engine while observing the readings. If the pressure reads above 80 psi, replace the oil pump.
The HVAC blower may operate on high speed only. This is commonly caused by a failed blower motor resistor. Chrysler has released a revised part to address this problem.

Deer Hunting Forums (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/)
- Bow Hunting (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/bow-hunting/)
- - What do you keep on your hunting pack? (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/bow-hunting/8440-what-do-you-keep-your-hunting-pack.html)
What do you keep on your hunting pack?
I've been messing around with my pack and I just can't seem to get it how I want. Can you give me your contents?
It really depends on the time of the season, generally I have an extensive first aid kit, ((Personal ID info, hunting lic, CC, cash and permission slip)). several pair full length field dressing gloves, latex gloves, 2 knives, cord, binoculars, video camera, 2 flashlights, zip locks, whistle, extra release, TP, trail mix, Allen-pk, bandana, extra clothing I don't wear to the stand, gps, matches w/tinder and water.
additional items that are season dependent are doe estrus scents, grunt wheeze call, doe estrus call, rattling horns, fawn bawl.
Water, snacks, gloves, knife, flashlight, limb saw, limb pruner, cold weather beanie, scent killer, knife sharpener, rain gear.... (depending on season) extra bullets, extra bow release, scents, calls.
water, snacks,hand warmers, knife, 2 flash lights (one hand held and one head strap/hands free), small first aid kit, i dont carry fild dressing because i dont feild dress around my hunting area i take them home to do, i hunt less than 10 min drive from the house so i make sue i have my deer drag in my pack.
most important for me because i do hunt alone is i keep a gps at home that i have plodded my stand locations on from were i park my truck. i remind my wife yearly on how to operate it if for some reason me nor her could send my dad or someone more woods knolagable after me if something were to happen. but anyways anyone could turn it on at my truck and walk right to my stand in that hunting area. hunting by myself i thought that was the best way to keep up with it just in case i drove a different truck.
Pretty much what everyone else said. Water, snacks, gutting knife, zip ties, limb saw, some extra ammo if it's gun season, gutting gloves, small plastic bag, a paper towel and maybe a few other little things that I can't think of. I keep a folding knife, a little flashlight and my phone in my coat.
I live in the country so were I hunt I have a small blind about 400 yards from house down In the fields so I pack a few waters, some snacks, a couple knifes, tags, flashlight, an extra longsleve shirt, a can of chew (might be the most important thing in my pack LOL) some calls, a turkey call because here in NY turkey is open during bow, and I always bring an old turkey vest cushion because I have had the bad experience of getting to my blind and siting in a wet seat all day. If I go to my tree stand I take the wheeler and bring similar things.
Don't forget the YAHTZEE game!! can't go w/out that... make sure you also bring your cell phones guys just in case something happens to you. I sometimes forget mine in the truck and I'd be screwed if something happened to me in the woods.
I always make sure to have my pee bottle too!! :thumbup:
YEP! that's something important!

" Manufacturer: Vango / Equipment Type: Tent "
Have had this tent for about 18 months as a smaller version to take the family away for a quick weekend break, purchased for £60!! Our other tent is an Outwell Hartford which is massive! The Vango is very easy to put together - just two long sets of poles, a porch pole and a small roof pole to keep the shape. I reckon 20 minutes is good going to get the tent up with all the guy ropes in place.
The tent pitches outer first which is superb if it is raining on arrival or departure, you belongings can stay dry while you pack everything away and then budle the fly sheet in last. Once you have erected the outer sheet you simply hook the inner tent inside which has the porch ground sheet attached. It all fits together very well.
In extreme conditions this tent performs well, it has a hydro head of 3000 and taped seams, even at the tightest points the zips are protected by convenient flaps that keep the elements out.
We sleep 6 in this tent, 4 comfortably in the main area and two in the porch. OK there is a very slight breeze in the porch due to the gaps between fly and ground sheet but it's nothing to worry about. There is a side door and you can also open out the large front door but we have had no need to do this yet. There are some nice little storage pockets in the inner tent.
The tent is packed in a nice carry holdal and is very compact.
One of our poles split after the 2nd use although Vango sent out replacements the same week so no problem. We have used the tent around 6 or 7 times and it is like new.
I have had one of these for a couple of years now, and have had no problems with it at all. I have only recently upgraded it to the Icarus 500, which is just a bit more spacious.
Vango tents seem to be the market leader nowadays in terms of the quality you get in relation to the price you pay, and this tent is the perfect example.
The tent is very easy to erect; it comes with 2 carbon fibre tubes, to erect the tent the tube sections are clicked into each other and placed through the tents outer layer to give it its strength and rigidity. This makes it so much easier to erect the tent than the ways of old where you had to erect the whole frame then try to place the outer layer over the top of it.
The tube system also makes it relatively easy to put the tent up in high wind, although I do still struggle to see how one person could do it on their own.
The poles are designed to move a certain amount in high winds - this can give the impression that the tent is unstable and moving around a lot, but this is how it is designed and does not bother me.
After a few practices we have got the pitching time down to about 12-15 minutes.
Inside the tent is plenty spacious - although I disagree with Vango's 5 man rating. When you consider the kit people take camping I would say 3 man would be more realistic. The porch area is nice and spacious and gives you an area to eat in if it is not so nice outside.
Overall this tent has never let me down - I have taken it on weekends away when the weather has been awful and it has stood up to it all and I have never had any leaks, even in storm conditions.
We recently decided to start camping with our two young children as a cheap break option. Having previously owned a very small 2 man single skin dome we wanted something a bit bigger.
We looked round at lots of tents, I really wanted one I could stand up in, which you easily can throughout the middle of the tent, and I liked the fact that this was a 5 man tent which gave us a little bit more room. It also has the option of splitting the bedroom in two with a curtain or having one big room. The big room really suits us having two small children. We can fit a single airbed, a double air bed and a pop up travel cot in the bed room area. And there will be enough room to put in another single airbed when the time comes (instead of the cot).
The main living area is a good size with two doors which makes it easy to position to get a nice breeze there is also a window. We put a small table in there and 2 adult chairs and put a blanket on the floor for the kids. It also has a really handy zip to put the power supply through.
I really like the sewn in ground sheet, prevents too many bugs getting in! The bedroom area has two doors for access each have a fly net so that you can get fresh air. The side door also has a fly net but the main door doesn't. There are air vents above the main door and the window.
It is really easy to put up, and has been done by one person. Also easy to fold up and get it back in to the bag. Its also not that heavy. It is very sturdy and does not move much in the wind, I think this is mainly due to the bracing straps that are either side of the main door and either side of the bedroom doors. Once the tent is erected the straps are tightened.
A great tent, we have had some good breaks in it with no complaints. And have not found it to leak.
I love this tent. I bought mine about 5 years ago and it has taken some hammer. It has been in some heavy storms in wales, extreme winds in bridlington and has always kept us sheltered and dry. If you are new to camping and want more room then a small dome tent I reckon this is the best starting tent. It is usually around £80 and it really is value for money. I cant even count the number of times mine has been used. and it is still going strong apart from the wear and tear of 3 rouge children and 2 dogs. Dont get me wrong there are far better tents on the market but for the money it really is a good tent. With practice it can be put up on your own. Im only 5ft 2 and managed it with 2 little ones many times. Its good aswell for a family tent for popping off for weekends. Room enough for all to sit inside if the weather is bad but also small enough that it wont take ages to set up.
*A bit of background*
Still undoubtedly a mere novice, my camping career only started earlier this summer. My OH and I have always enjoyed weekends and holidays away, both in the UK and overseas. However, with money getting ever-tighter, it seemed absolutely frivolous to be spending £££ on weekends to expensive hotels. At the same time, I didn't want to give up my little breaks. I mean, it's not all about work, work, work... Am I right?
Enter our solution... camping.
Once the idea popped into our minds, it was hard to shrug off. We very quickly warmed to the idea and decided to buy the kit we needed to go for a weekend away.
*What's out there?*
As a product researching nut, I did tons of research online to see what tent I should invest in. There is a very popular site called www.ukcampsite.co.uk. It's probably the best site out there for campers/caravanners, etc. After trawling through this site and also looking at different tents both off and online, we settled on the Vango Venture 500.
We bought the Vango Venture 500 online from Go Outdoors for about £70-£80. It was on a special offer at the time (it's still on offer at time of writing this review, although it has gone up in price). I think the RRP is £120. So, I think we got a very good deal indeed.
There are plenty of recommendations out there for this tent. The reviews are all generally very positive, saying that it was a very high quality tent for the price - easy to pitch, roomy with enough headroom to stand up in. Vango is a reputable brand.
When the tent arrived, we had a go at doing a testing pitch. The tent is a dome design with a large porch and bedroom that can fit a double bed. The bedroom can also be divided into two spaces using an optional divider sheet.
*Key features*
To summarise the features, with this tent you get:
Vango Lifetime Guarantee
Fire Retardant
Waterproofed on inside- Protex 2000 (2000mm HH) polyester fly
Seam taped fly
Flysheet first pitching - also reinforced on the main pressure points where tent pegs hold tent down
Mesh ventilation on inner tent
Bathtub inner groundsheet
External continuous pole sleeves
Colour coded poles
Pre-angled poles
Front and side entry
Flysheet vents. 'Crystal Clear' windows
*What's the tent like up?*
Once the tent was up, I was very surprised on both the good quality - and the size. This is supposed to be a 5 berth tent, but there's only two of us, so we have plenty of room, which is great. I don't think I'd actually like to share this tent with 4 other campers, but I'm not really the 'rough and ready' type of camper. I like my space!
*The tent in use*
We have a double blow up bed and 'bedroom' space in the large roomy bedroom. I like to put down bright picnic rugs for carpeting and set up a lovely chill out space. Comfy duvets, plenty of cushions, and so on.... You can actually get very cosy!
We use the porch as the main living space for during the day, if we're not out and about, that is. The 'crystal clear' windows are very useful to peer out of - as are the array of zips/flaps, that allow you to open up the tent and roll up the 'doors', and so on. The design of the tent flaps/windows means that it is flexible for you to use in different light/weather.
I'm not sure how many seasons this tent is supposed to be used in, but I think it'd probably be best to use this tent in late spring, summer and early autumn at most. The main reason is that, due to the height of it (190cm at highest point), it can flap about a fair bit in the wind - as our experience has shown.
So far, we've used it on 3 camping trips and it's served us well so far. We've had a couple of minor rips, mainly due to freak gusts of wind on our first camping trip. Nothing, though, that makes the tent unusable.
*My rating and why*
I give this tent 5/5. All in all, for the price, I'm extremely satisfied with the tent and would not hesitate to recommend for a first time or even a more experienced camper looking for a really good quality tent for under £100.
We bought this tent at the beginning of the summer 2005 from Gaynor Sports in Ambleside. It was only ever intended for use by two of us (my wife and myself) and our dog, but we wanted a bit of room to get dressed in and store stuff and most importantly we wanted to be able to stand up it. The Vango Venture 500 was set up and was a winner as soon as we looked at it.
Dimensions and Layout
The tent measures approximately 12' X 8' and is about 5'10" high at the highest point. There is a large porch at the front which takes up about a third of the length of the tent, and the rest is taken up by the bedroom.
The Porch
The porch is a good enough size to set up a table and two chairs to eat if required, as we have done in the past, and it has two entrances, a large one to the front of the tent or a smaller one to the side. There are also two decent sized windows, which you can actually see through and these both have curtains for privacy if required. I am 5'9" and can almost stand up in the porch. The porch has a seperate ground sheet which hooks on to the outer walls.
The Bedroom
The bedroom makes up the rest of the tent and is about 8' X 8' and is meant to sleep five, like I said earlier we have only ever had two and the dog but I suppose five would be possible if a little cramped. There is a divider that can be put in the middle of the bedrooom to make it into two bedrooms if required. I have no problem standing up in the bedroom. The bedroom has two doors, with mosquito nets, so you can have the two bedroom option and it consists of an inner flysheet to the outer tent with a built - in groung sheet. There are also five storage pockets in the bedroom.
Erection And Dismantling
This tent is extremely easy to erect and the wife and I can put it up in under twenty minutes now. There are four colour coded poles, two which cross over to make up the main area where the bedroom is situated, a third to hold up the front of the porch and forth little one to lift the headroom at the entrance to the bedroom.
Once the outer part of the tent is up and pegged you can get inside and hook the bedroom section in to the also colour coded hooks and fit the ground sheet in the porch.
Dismantling is just as easy as erection you take the inner part out first and fold each part quite carefully and there is no problem getting it all back in the bag.
What's It Like In Use
We only really go camping in summer but the British weather manages to throw a few tests our way still! We have just been up to the lake district this weekend and had some fairly stong wind and some rain. The Vango Venture 500 stood up to the wind brilliantly considering its size and height and as long as it is well pegged down it can withstand quite strong winds with very little problems.
We had a little rain this weekend and had no problems with leaks however we have been out in fairly heavy rain before and this manages to find its way through the material so I would not recomend it in the rain, however it is only advertised as a three season tent so this is to be expected. I have purchased a spray this weekend that is supposed to water - proof the tent material but have not tried it out yet so cannot comment yet.
The Vango Venture 500 comes with a very handy carry bag split into three sections, one for the outer tent, another for the inner tent and a pocket down the middle for the poles, pegs and a small spares and repair kit. When packed the tent is bulky to say the least and measures about 2' X 1' X 1' and is also quite heavy so that is why I only recomend for family car camping, you could certainly not go backpacking with this tent!!
Value For Money
We paid £89.99 just over three years ago now and, to be honest bought it as a cheap starter tent which I expected to have replaced by now, however the Venture 500 is still going strong three years, and a lot of use, on and to be honest still looks a lot like new, so I think it offers extremely good value for money, and I expect to still be using it in another three years.
All in all I would say the Vango Venture 500 is a very good buy and would recomend it to couples, small familys and groups of friends. It is handy having the option of one or two bedrooms and has plenty of room, including head room. It is very easy to put up once you have done it the first time and just as easy to take down again. It will withstand a little rain and very strong winds. It is extremely durable and like I said earlier, still looks like new really three years on. The instructions and colour coding of poles and inner hooks make putting it up the first time very easy also.
Thankyou for reading.........John May 2008

Newsweek's Matthew Philips says local and federal officials -- working with BP -- are keeping news photographers away from sites hardest hit by the Gulf oil spill.
Among the incidents:
See video above of the CBS incident or click here.
The Coast Guard says in a statement on the official website of the crisis response command that there are no rules governing the media and that many reporters and photographers are embedded with crews. The only time the media might be blocked, the statement says, is for safety reasons or for interfering with response operations.

McAdory answered a 14-0 Spanish Fort run to begin the game with a much-needed touchdown before halftime. With momentum and the ball, the Jackets failed to score again. The Toros, on the other hand, could do no wrong in the third and fourth quarters en route to 31 unanswered points.
Here are the players that stood out during the one-sided affair.
Spanish Fort
2013 CB Jonathan Cook (6-foot, 185 lbs) – Cook didn't get many passes his way, as per usual, but he made the most of opportunities to get physical as a run supporter. The rangy athlete even got to blitz early in the game, coming up with a momentum-snatching sack. He also made plays with the ball in his hands as a punt returner before making the play of the night as a wide receiver – when he leaped over a defender for a 25-yard score in the corner of the end zone. The Nebraska commit is very athletic and can do many things, but he has the chance to be a special corner with his combination of size and physicality.
2013 WR Blain Crain (6-foot-2, 180 lbs) – Not flashy or particularly fast, but Crain gets the job done as a possession receiver. When the Toros need a big play in a big spot, he is often the target. It was more of the same on Thursday night, as Crain used his bog frame to box-out defenders over the middle en route to five catches for 48 yards.
2013 RB Samuel Tolbert (5-foot-7, 165 lbs) – Size has always been a negative for Tolbert, but he always works hard when given the ball. The yards came tough in the state title win, but eventually he got into the open field – where he is near impossible to track. Tolbert broke the game wide-open with a 29-yard gallop in the third quarter that resulted in six points. He finished the night with 100 yards on 12 carries.
2013 QB Joel Poe (6-foot, 200 lbs) – He started off very slow, missing on some throws that should have been intercepted, but he stayed with it and ended up tossing two dimes for six. The first was on a seam-route to get the Toros on the board, and the other was the product of accuracy despite scrambling for his life. Poe capped his career with 177 yards passing and four total touchdowns, including one on the ground.
2013 DL Taylor Reynolds (6-foot-3, 260 lbs) – While the McAdory defense was gashed in the second half, it was carried in the first half up front. Leading the charge was Reynolds, who came up with a tone-setting hit early on that resulted in a tackle for loss. Reynolds totaled seven tackles and a pass break-up.
2015 DB Robert Crooks (5-foot-8, 145 lbs) – Though still learning how to play the position, Crooks found himself in the right spot more times than not despite the tough loss. He dropped a gifted interception chance in the first quarter that Spanish Fort turned into six points on the very next play, but he made up for it with a leaping interception later on. Crooks ended up with a pair of pass deflections and two tackles.

Apparently aus71383 and I are not just geographically at opposite ends.
Not all frangible ammo is 'safety' ammo. Some is designed for training where lead splatter and ricochet is an issue in close quarters drills. It will fragment against a steel plate or backstop - not drywall. It's easy to find plenty of tests where the 'safety' ammo easily penetrates interior walls. tests show that most safety ammo, when it works on a human target, gives 4-8" penetration. The makers talk about complete energy transfer since the slug doesn't exit. True, but energy transfer is not the issue. The energy from a handgun or common rifle cal is not enough to knock someone down. What stops the attacker is a deep wound channel into the vital areas creating blood loss and damage to critical components. That's why the FBI tests demand 12 - 15" penetration - 2 to 3x what the safety slugs give.
I was unable to find any test where someone fired a 'safety' round from a .308 (or .223 for that matter) at an interior wall from 10 - 15 feet (room distance) and it failed to penetrate. If it's available I would love to see it.
Speaking of frangible ammo, Wiley Clapp says this (5/29/2012):
Apparently, there are some shooters, who are understandably concerned about over-penetration, that have concluded that this kind of ammo might be just the ticket for shooting attackers in the house. Please don't do this—it is not a good idea. The best ammo for home-defense is still a well-designed jacketed hollow-point round. Invariably, this kind of ammunition is developed to deliver the JHP bullet at a speed that will cause that hollow point to open and expand, assuming normal (short) combat distances and a center of mass hit. By the way, a seldom-appreciated benefit of a hollow point is enough expansion to increase the bullet's frontal diameter. This gives a greater braking effect in tissue and the bullet stops sooner than hard, non-deforming solid or FMJ bullets. If you should be so unfortunate as to be faced with a home invader in a justifiable shooting situation, the idea is to stop the attack quickly. The best bullet for the job is the aforementioned JHP. You should not expect the ammo maker to protect you with a disintegrating slug that breaks up on hard surfaces in the event that you miss. That's even truer when a hit with this stuff produces no better effect than a good JHP.
Frangible Ammo
In the end, it always seems to come down to - if you can't make the shot, don't take the shot.

As if the world isn't already crazy enough, hackers infiltrated the emergency broadcast system of local station KRTV in Great Falls, Montana, a CBS affiliate, and issued a fake zombie alert, the station said on Tuesday.
Viewers were warned of a so-called zombie apocalypse and advised not to tangle with the monstrous creatures, the station said.
Engineers at the station were investigating the incident, which occurred during a Monday afternoon broadcast, said Jon Saunders, vice president of the station's parent company, Cordillera Communications.
Saunders said early reports suggest similar but separate attacks were launched in the past 24 hours against emergency alert systems for TV stations elsewhere, including Michigan.
"It appears to be more widespread than we thought," he said.
The hoax caused several humorous-minded residents in Great Falls to call authorities to inquire if guns were an adequate defense against zombie hordes.
Dumb hackers. One of these times, it could be for real and we'll all be dead. Remember "The Boy Who Cried Wolf?"

Rick Gekoski: Finger on the page
Rick Gekoski: The awkward thing about this subject is that it doesn't have much to do with reading – so I'm writing a novel instead
Rick Gekoski: After three decades in what's not quite a proper job, I don't have any formula for success. But I have had some instructive experience
Rick Gekoski: I've made my peace with 'login' and am getting used to the ubiquitous 'like', but this bibliophile draws the line at 'flat signed'
When poets get it right individual words can add volumes of sense to their work. Trying to fill in some of their blanks is a useful lesson in this fine art
Rick Gekoski: In a future electronic world, there will be a ghastly contingency about the written word. Books have a new place as sacred objects, and libraries as museums
Rick Gekoski: We all need a break sometimes, and I'll happily admit to enjoying Harry Potter and Fifty Shades of Grey. But there's one area of my reading I've kept secret until now ...
Rick Gekoski: The prize's director thinks many books submitted are 'junk', but that's no reason for the jury not to consider them
Rick Gekoski: Early imprints of the Bond books increase in value every year. Is this just down to a large readership, or does it say something more fundamental about Ian Fleming's creation?
Rick Gekoski: For years, I felt guilty about my addiction – then I found some famous kindred spirits. Which is your favourite Reacher thriller?
Rick Gekoski: I'm a rare book dealer, but since getting an e-reader older reading media seem awkward and cumbersome
Questions answered about this week's sale of acclaimed first editions signed by their authors
Rick Gekoski: I'm enjoying writing this column, but the grander endeavour of a whole volume does, alas, require more sweat and worry
Visiting the US, I am reminded of Oscar Wilde's tour there in 1881, which allowed him to become an orator and a celebrity
TS Eliot's widow was no writer herself, but her experience and stories alone establish her literary importance
Rick Gekoski: I used to find my sleeplessness a cause of distress, but I have recently come to embrace insomnia as a boon to my reading
Rick Gekoski: Blake's poem The Tyger shows how the relationship between form and content can shape meaning – a lesson we should heed
Rick Gekoski: My two studies of sporting nearly-men – Colin Montgomerie and the lesser lights of tennis – would have allowed me to explore the common reality of living without supreme talent
Rick Gekoski: Book signings are an unmitigated pleasure – except when you're the author of the book that no one has turned up to have signed
Rick Gekoski: Almost everyone can benefit from some simple hints on creative writing. The hardest bit may be to practise what you preach
Rick Gekoski: As long as the writer's wishes are taken into account, most manuscripts benefit from a judicious edit
Rick Gekoski: I wanted jury service to be profound – Clarence Darrow is a hero – but the only revelation I can testify to was about Groucho Marx
Rick Gekoski: When it comes to selling a rare item, seeking media attention certainly has its pitfalls
Rick Gekoski: Book dealing was once, as Graham Greene told me, a 'treasure hunt'. But the internet has made it all about pots of gold
At best, the attractiveness of a bookshop is beside the point. At worst it's a positively bad sign
Whether their material has been exhausted, or they have, very few writers reach old age at the top of their game
They offer consolation, wisdom, company of a kind, but they're really not interested in you
As the inevitable rows on prize juries testify, it's not easy to say – but well-informed argument does provide some useful pointers
I'm a firm believer in high literary and educational standards, and I feel strongly that they are empty values. Where's the problem?
Rick Gekoski: Jolly pastimes, fine scenery and sociability are all very well. But they can't really compete with reading
Rick Gekoski: I've written five books now, but that still doesn't seem to be enough to qualify me
Rick Gekoski: As the bad sex prize rather unnecessarily highlights, it's very difficult to write well about this subject
Going back over early work on my new book, I'm shocked by how easy it is for inaccuracies to creep in
Rick Gekoski: The challenge facing this year's Booker judges reminds us that recognising excellence in literature is about far more than personal opinion
Rick Gekoski: I'm not sure about the improving influence of reading, but I'm certain that writing brings out the worst in me
Rick Gekoski: For more than a few of my fellow dealers, the public are an unwelcome intrusion on the trade

J.K. Rowling Unveils New 'Harry Potter'-Themed Story!
Though she's not put out a "Harry Potter" novel for years, JK Rowling can't seem to stay away from her beloved Hogwarts realm.
For her Pottermore followers, the English author just released another Wizarding World tale, following the life of singer and sorceress Celestina Warbeck.
In a new interview, Rowling shared, "Although we never lay eyes on Celestina during the whole seven volumes of the Potter books, I always imagined her to resemble Shirley Bassey in both looks and style."
"I stole her first name from a friend with whom I worked, years ago, at Amnesty International's Headquarters in London; 'Celestina' was simply begging to be scooped up and attached to a glamorous witch."

waterproof plaster shower walls
I found this description of a remodeled bathroom and bedroom described on the Trends Website. This is located at http://trendsideas.com/ViewArticle.a...=4651®ion=4. I emailed the magazine and the architect mentioned in the article some time ago for more info but did not receive any response. I am trying to figure out how to emulate the bath and shower in this article.
The bath and shower are described as Custom fabricated with waterproof plaster, plastered, sealed and given a waxed finish, so they resembled cast concrete. Can someone can tell me what the products are you think they used (or you would recommend using) for this project as well as the techniques and any other additional information you can supply. A related question I have is how I could do bathroom walls to look the same as the showers without being as completely waterproof as is required in a shower wall installation.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
This may help
Not sure, but this link may put you in the right direction eventhough its a UK company... http://www.tadelakt.co.uk/
True plaster is water proof but finding contractors who know how to use it is hard. I think that you will have to search high and low to get one that would have the skills and guts to pull that off. I'm sure they lined it with something, I would fiberglass everything with a non-gelcoat then stick the plaster to it. Plaster is hard but will scratch and wear. If you want a starting point find historic restoration contractors, the good ones keep plasters around ;)
