Sardinia or Ionians for me
You can't miss with either option. To make things more complex, you might also want to add Croatia into the mix. For any of these locations, stay away from 2nd half of July 'til end of August just too crowded, June to early July and September would be ideal. .
In Greece, I loved sailing in the Ionian islands in the Adriatic since it's a combination of Italy and Greece, but, leave from Levkas rather than Corfu and focus on the southern island group with a trip north depending on time available. But, my favorite place is Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik - combo of greece and italy with more medievil history. All have great food for provisions or eating out. Wind is probably strongest in Greece in summer months, sometimes too strong, particularly, in the Cyclides.
My site on wordpress offers a lot of information from my experiences in these areas including photo galleries, commented maps, logs, and also some insight articles about each area. You'll find info on Southern Sardinia, Ionian and Sporades in Greece, and Croatia, if interested.
Whatever you choose you can't miss.
Bareboating the World
I spent last summer in Italy, and the place is really magical. Isle of Capri, Amalfi Coast... the whole shot is breathtaking. So neat I would probably go back there before seeing places I have not been. And heck, you can stop and see Corsica.... who doesnt like the set of an old school james bond flick?
good luck, safe travels
|I will be visiting Venice Italy in October for a week and I wonder if anyone knows of a location near there to rent/charter a day sailor?
Hi Ditch
Sorry, I had read this only now!
and I cannot reply in PM.
Are you interested, yet?
May be I shall be useful for informations about Adriatic Sea and about aegean islands.
First of all, where are you living now and where is living your family?
About insurance: do you mean civil responsability for the boat?
But, which boat?
Usally it il more expensive then abroad.
|I think only Greeks would vote for Italy, as it seems more exciting to them than home! The meltemi (northerly winds) affects more the Aegean and not the Ionian. The water also stays warmer later in the Ionian, mid summer destinations are less crowded there, and between Corfu (Kerkyra) and Zakynthos (Zante) there are easy day trips from one place to the other. There is more moisture on that side of Greece, unlike the Aegean that you feel like you are in the middle of the Sahara and have an illusion of water around you. The mainland of Epirus is very interesting as well, full of little natural anchorages. Don;t miss Sivota, Parga, (Alonaki/Ormos Odyssea****), Preveza, the whole Amvrakikos gulf (most important wetland bird habitat in Europe protected by several treaties), Paleros (East of Lefkas), Mitikas, Astakos, Kastos, (this last strip between little islands and mainland will blow your mind and it is safe sailing for even 1st timers. The island destinations are well documented on the net, I emphasized the areas less advertised due to the lack of commercial activity (a good thing for most sailors .
don't forget you about Italy and don't think it is good for terrestrian travelling!
I live near Venice and I know all Mediterranean Sea. Spend your time everywhere in a long trip! From Turkey to Spain and from Aegypt to France, but always you will have Italy in the middle of your route.

Buon vento
experience in med
we sailed last year from canet plage to Sardegna via menorca between 20 july and 27 august .
We found Menorca quite pleasant but somehow crowded .
Port of Mahon you need to see for anchoring or one of the free berths, port is in high season absolutely packed and free places can go as high as 90 E per night on the quay, with elec and water but without anything else .
We sailed over to oristano, moored behind the ruins of Tharros (Roman era) and had a fabulous period there .
Around the southern part of Sardegna there are several anchorage places where you can shelter . we had abt every 5 - 7 days a blow frm the NW , ex mistral , which could be up to 15 - 20 m/s .
Southern Sardegna was a pleasure and a relief of the overcrowded area like menorca and spain. Sardegna gave me the feel back when as a kid we went for the first time to spain in 1965 relax not organised and friendly.
. We usually went every 3 - 5 days into a marina only .
We left the boat in Villaputzu porto corallo . We used this as an alternative for Malta and Tunis, based on lack of space for the winter and cost .
hope this of help to you .

Re: Italy vs Greece
Thanks much for all the responses. All were very helpful. The vote ended up being for Greece (Italy just seems to be better for land ventures). I personally would have liked Croatia, but most were more interested in Greece. However, the combined feedback plus other sources swayed the group to going in the fall, likely mid. Sept.-early Oct. The Metemi didn't seem to be an issue, interestingly enough. Maybe we'll manage to avoid those 3 days.

Any issues with jellyfish (heard this is more a problem in the fall). Some of us are leaning toward the fall because the water and air temp. should be warmer, more conducive to swimming but there are other factors to be considered as well (jellyfish, wind, other). Thanks.
I was not chartering so I can't offer any insight there.
I was sailing in the Aegean during the summer months of June, July, and August. I don't recall seeing any jellyfish while swimming, but we occasionally saw a random one out in deep water while passagemaking.
As summer progressed, the strength of the sun diminished, making it more comfortable (in early/mid-summer, we had temps as high as 49 deg. Celsius). However, while the sun diminished a bit, the Meltemi increased as the summer wore on -- especially in the islands.
Between islands the Meltemi usually accelerates and makes for challenging but fun sailing, Force 6-7-ish. We would often duck under the leeward side of an island for a break, rather than passing it on the windward side with a lee shore below us. The nice part about the Meltemi is that while it blows strong it is a mostly cloudless wind, so it doesn't seem dark and stormy/intimidating.
September would probably be a nice time to charter. Like the U.S., many europeans vacation during August, so you might have fewer tourists.
During our 2 weeks in the Greek Islands in early October we had high speed ferries canceled twice on us because of wind and sea conditions. The second time the winds we about 50 knots and waves in excess of 10 feet. We ended up taking the "regular" ferry then for about a 12 hour ride! Not pleasant and there were absolutely no ther boats on the water except for a couple of cruise ships. In fact this big monster had trouble docking at one island because of the conditions. I asked our hotel if those conditions were unusual and the answer was no, that they get those conditions 2 or 3 days a month most of the year. That being said, when it wasn't blowing like stink it looked like absolutely georgeous sailing. Most islands are not that far apart and you'll just need to be flexible enough to hole up for a few days if necessary.
We've also been to Croatia and I have to say that that looked great also, as noted by the poster above. I don't think you can go wrong at either location.

Work continues at a feverish pace inside the Shivers Basketball Practice Facility will nearly all of the wall frames in place for the Bulldogs' future locker and team rooms.
The bulk of the utilities are in place for those areas, located on the lower level of the facility, and construction crews anticipate the walls that will define those spaces being in place in the coming weeks.
Inside the main practice area, windows have been installed on the east side of the facility and the concrete floor in the northern gym is entering the final phase of the curing process. The installation of the ducts in those two practice spaces has started as well.

Tron tease: Aston Martin's DP-100 Gran Turismo car was confined to the virtual world, but might hold a few secrets of the company's 2018 hypercar.
23 March 2016
By DANIEL GARDNER
ASTON MARTIN has revealed it already has a full-sized model of its upcoming
AM-RB 001 hypercar after working on the joint-venture project with Red Bull
Racing in "nine months of hard graft".
The existence of the model was one of a number of tantalising details provided
by Aston Martin chief creative officer and design director Marek Reichman in an
interview with GoAuto in Melbourne, where the hypercar project was revealed to
the world last week.
Mr Reichman said the only image released to date represented a combination of
the vehicle's profile and complex airflow over its body at speed.
According to Mr Reichman, the white sketched areas provide a "glimpse" of the
car's wheel arches and roofline, while the green flashes are an initial study
of its aerodynamics and that the car would be more than functional.
"It's something beautiful," he said. "It's something emotional. It's a very
dynamic product. Even as a piece of sculpture it's going to be very dramatic.
You're getting a tiny, tiny glimpse."
A teaser campaign is expected to maintain hype surrounding the car, but with an
arrival date in about two years, Mr Reichman said the model had already
progressed to a late stage in its styling.
"We've been working for nine months hard graft and 12 months in total," he
said. "We have a full-sized model.
"Part of the last phase is obviously the build of the car and what we call the
prove-out. The last phase of it is probably a lot less of my time and much more
of Adrian and the drivers. Where are we from my perspective? About 60 per cent."
The hypercar is being touted as Aston's foray into mid-engined cars, but the
company has already explored the layout on two previous occasions. In the late
1970s, Aston created the monstrous Bulldog of which only one was produced, but
more recently, the DP-100 dipped a toe into mid-engines, albeit in the virtual
Mr Reichman said the production hypercar would owe some of its genes to the
Vision Gran Turismo concept.
"We have a plan to do a mid-engined supercar at the end of the day, and we have
to start somewhere with that," he said. "Doing DP-100 was always a way to
express something at very little cost but we were able to gauge a reaction to
"We produced a hard model that we showed in some arenas, and that got a very,
very positive reaction. People saw it as an Aston Martin, which was important."
While producing a virtual car might seem simple when compared with a driveable
concept, Mr Reichman said the makers of the computer game required
significantly more than just how the DP-100 would look.
"Whether it's directly influenced or it was back of mind thinking. That car was
real in respect of layout. The technical specification that Gran Turismo
demand; you wouldn't believe how much they want to know. They want to know
weight, tyre sizes ... so we learnt a lot."
Mr Reichman is leading the project along with renowned Formula One car designer
and aerodynamicist Adrian Newey.
He said the enormity of the project required an extremely close relationship
between engineering and aesthetics, with equal creative input.
"If he had said 'it's going to be like this' then I don't think we would be
doing what we are doing, but he didn't," he said.
"He said 'what are you thinking about' and I showed him and he said 'wow that's
very close to where I think things need to be'."
With state-of-the-art computer modelling now available to car design teams,
many cars start life on a screen, but Mr Reichman said the Aston hypercar had a
more romantic beginning.
"He (Newey) draws on an A0 piece of paper with a pencil and French curves, he
calculates from point A to point B where he wants the air to go and draws the
shape in sections, and we generate a surface from that and we put it into CAD
and it's near enough accurate to the millimetre to get the airflow that he
wants. It's a gift that he has."
At the launch of the collaboration between Aston Martin and the Red Bull
Formula One team, Aston CEO Andy Palmer said the hypercar would be able to lap
a circuit as fast as a current F1 car.
When asked if the goal was feasible, Mr Reichman explained that it might not be
as far-fetched as it seemed.
"This is Adrian working without the constraint of a formula. One of the biggest
issues of a Formula One car is the open cockpit. If you take that away and
imagine a very efficient upper surface; something very pure, clean and very
dramatic by its simplicity, you end up with a fusion of that fabulous
technology and art together."
While no technical details have been officially released other that the car's
mid-engine layout, Mr Reichman hinted at the model's driven rear wheels and
full carbon-fibre construction.
"We have a very tough weight target and that gives you a hint at how we plan to
put the power down," he said. "Trying to get as close to one-to-one power to
weight ratio is where we have to be to get the figures that we are talking
about. A Formula One car is rear-wheel drive, so we know it is possible.
"I don't think there is another material where you could get the strength to
weight ratio without being all carbon. It may have some aluminium elements in
there or titanium but a majority will be carbon, and that's the technology that
Red Bull have."
With a 1:1 power to weight ratio, the Aston would equal the Koenigsegg One:1's
achievement, which managed one horsepower for each of its 1340 kilograms and
was the first production car to crack the magic one megawatt (1000kW). It is
not known what kerb weight Aston Martin is aiming for.
While the car is expected to look significantly different to any Aston before
it, Mr Reichman said it would be unmistakably an Aston Martin and that the
styling marked a new direction for future cars.
"You'd know it was an Aston – not in the same way as a DB11, more in the way
you see Vulcan. There isn't a typical grille. It's a unique face but our cars
are not just grilles.
"It has got to start to make a mark in terms of a direction. It has to. The
special projects become the lead for an aesthetic change and a direction
While the hyper car is in its latter stages of design, the team is still yet to
decide on a name, with several options up in the air.
"The visual and technical language of the car will be represented in its name.
We have some, but it's not decided on. The story and the naming is really
important and I think we have to be part of that team and the authors of that

3 has been doing a lot of things right recently, and this is another one...
Today sees the launch of the company's 'Skypephone' - a handset with fully integrated Skype client (think like this not this) and 3G connectivity. The best part however: all Skype to Skype calls will be completely free as long as a customer has either a monthly contract or PAYG in credit.
"Skype is now truly mobile. This new handset is incredibly easy to use and lets you make free mobile Skype calls when you are on the move to other Skype users all over the world no matter where they are," said acting Skype CEO Michael van Swaaij "It couldn't be simpler put Skype in your pocket and make free Skype mobile calls and send free Skype instant messages at the touch of a single Skype button."
Kevin Russell, CEO, 3 UK, naturally concurred: "3 wants to make the mobile internet available to everyone. To do this, we believe that services need to be simple to access and affordable. Communication is the prime function of the mobile today."
The attitude adopted by 3 currently is a genuine breath of fresh air and a stark contrast to the reactionary approach of most networks. Furthermore, should the Skypephone appeal (and to regular international callers it surely must) the handset will cost just £49.99 on PAYG and will be free on any monthly contract. The service will also arrive this year in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Macau and Sweden.

kandy re sprays
Hi guys
a quick question. On an all over kandy re spray, I am using UK05 over gold metajules, over tinted KO Seal(tinted with KK Spanish Gold).
When do I spray the door shuts & wing edges etc? Do I do them before the main job then reverse mask them, or do I do them with the main body paint? Is there a dange of getting the edges darker? if so how do I get around this?
Spray the exterior assembled for perfect coverage and match, then mask the exterior and shoot the jambs, keep the gold from going right to the edge of the jamb and also the midcoat then bring the clear to the edge of the jamb. Do all of this before you colorsand and buff the exterior. Candies suck for doing the jambs without any paint lines but it can be done if your setup is right. Many panel paint so they can shoot the jambs and edges at the same time as the exterior but there usually ends up being unequal coverage and mismatches when the car gets reassembled(99% of the time IMO)-some feel the mismatch is acceptable but I'd much rather have a perfect exterior and deal with the hassle of shooting the jambs seperately. I usually shoot the exterior and let the paint go in the jambs 1-2" then when I shoot the jambs I use that 1-2" along the edge to blend then clear to the edge-hope this makes sense. If done right you won't have any tape lines.
Thanks Bob
yes it all makes sense. The only thing that worries me is that the last time I tried to re shoot a base over UC35 in less than a week it wrinkled. Is this the only way to do an exterior & the jambs? Also, do I still use the UK05 kandy in the Jambs?
I am thinking now about doing the whole job inside & out at the same time right up to the metajules. Then close the doors, hood, trunk etc & kandy the outside but do all the jambs when I get to my 2 final coats of UC35. Then I could touch up the jambs after the color sand but before the final flow coats.
Does that sound like a viable plan? Oh also, do you think I should use the Sata mini jet for the jambs as they are much smaller?
Oh my head hurts!! ha ha
Thats possiable Steve. The problem with doing the jambs & such first, is you can have a mismatch of the outside kandy color and then what do you do.
I like Bob, do mine last and this way I'm assured of it matching. You can use the UK or KK/Intercoat if thats easier for you. Thats what KK's are for basically,color matching interior or under areas out of direct sun. The Minijet will be a good choice as it sprays nice and clearing with one is great as well.You'll just have to keep an eye on the match as your spraying cause your using a different gun and likely,different psi which will effect the color per coat build.
Ok, now I feel like I am gettin my head around it. So the KK's will match the UK's?
I have to say I thought the flake job was scarey but kandy is something else. I have watched the Jon Kosmoski dvd over & over, I need to feel like I painted that car ha ha. I imagine my arms will be aching when I am finished. He passes that roof alone 38ish times per coat & its about a 14 coat job!
I agree with Mike, use a touchup gun on the jambs to have the most control where your paint is going. Also keep in mind you can shoot the inside edges of the doors and underside of the decklid before you shoot the exterior. The only challenge areas are the rockers and quarter panel to door jamb, the decklid opening, and the cowl and hood opening jambs. The underside of the decklid can be masked off prior to shooting the exterior. I'd avoid trying the shoot it all at once while opening and closing the doors etc.-this usually makes for mistakes and a candy job takes enough concentration just to get the exterior right so there's no sense adding more stress by trying to shoot all at once. The KK dyes are the same as UK dyes so they match just fine.
Ok.Thanks for that guys. I will get practicing on a spare hood.
I am using a Devilbiss GTi gun, 1.4 tip set, 110 air cap. Do I need the 6" fan & shoot 6" from the car. Also do I reduce the fluid adjustment, how much, half way?
It's strange I have been painting collision stuff for at least 15yrs & hardly ever adjusted my gun. I use a full fan & control my delivery with my trigger finger. I guess kandy is far more demanding!
Trigger control is good but on this job you might want to dial in the trigger stop just for added consistancy, use the fan size you feel comfortable with. Plan on walking the whole side of the car and watch your sail panels and windshield posts for coverage-sometimes they get to much in the overlap area and end up dark there, also watch to make sure you get good coverage on the rocker panel bottoms-it's common when applying many coats that the painter forgets a few passes on the bottom of the rockers and it ends up being light. Watch your flash times-if you don't give enough time you can get small runs going on the panel edges and they'll end up darker. Definately do that practice hood or just a test panel so you get a feel for how many coats need to be applied.
thanks for that advice.
I had a thought today. My customer wants his car a blue kandy with a sparking base underneath, hence the metajules(I thought)
Could I shoot it: silver KO seal tinted with say kk21 majestic kandy, then gold metajules x3 coats & followed by 5 coats uk05 cobalt or UK21 majestic topped with UC35? Would blue below & on top kill the metajules?
If the above does not make sense then how is the best way for a novice kandy painter like me to achieve my customers spec? I also thought of the KBC range buy they are not sparkley enough!
I'll try to find Jim. He knows this HOK stuff inside out and can give you the BEST advice on what your after.
well, i haven't used the metallic ko seal. i usually mix a light grey and put orion on top. one of the bikes i did somewhat recently was exactly what you are doing. the pale gold metajules with cobalt on top. for that bike i did just what i stated above. mixed up a light grey koseal using white and black then shot about 4 coats of orion silver on top then about 3 coats or so of the pale gold for the sparkle. i let it all flash off then did about 9 coats of cobalt. you aren't going to shoot the cobalt in 5 coats without blotchin the hell out of it. you need to break that up into twice that. put the color on slow as that color like to blotch a bit. good thing is, its a dark color so if you do get some darker areas they are very hard to see. you'll almost never see it outside in the sun. the lower the light level the more you will notice blotchiness. if you tint the orion or end up going over a metallic blue it will be easier to spray however it will be an even darker blue when done. i posted a couple pics for you to see. the darker blue is cobalt over the pale gold and orion. its a studio shot so you cant see the sparkle but its definately there in the sun. the lighter one is majestic over the same thing, orion and pale gold.
Ok, food for thought & great pics!!
On the metajules, Jon kosmoski says on the dvd to get it on wet, wet it up he says. My UK HOK rep says dust it on, its like spraying flake he said. Whats the process on this?
Sorry for so many questions, I really need to get my head around this way of painting before I commit this re paint.
spray it like you would any other base. thats what it is, super thin flake in a clear basecoat. i wouldn't dust it on since you would be left with flakes sticking up. dont hose it either. nice medium wet coats and give plenty of flash time. give plenty of flash with all this stuff. when doing candy jobs you are piling coat after coat. after you get all your base on let set overnight before you put on any urethane.
Done a test hood today. It all went on ok thanks to you guys! The kandy had a few faint stripes but not bad for a noob ha ha. Oh also, I mixed the kandy wrong, I did 2:1:30%. What a moose, I read the mixing cup wrong.
I have to say though, out in the sun I was not that impressed! It just looks like coarse metalic blue . I could reach that type of effect with lots of less hassel(13 coat job). It's not really a show stopper colour! And its a show car it is going on. I still want to master kandy but not sure if this is the effect my customer wants. Those HOK little swatches look soooo go, but on a whole panel some look quite ordinary. Oh well back to the drawing board.
Any ideas guys?
thats odd. i think the swatches dont do it justice compared to on the car or bike. generally it is a metallic blue job only difference is in the depth and intensity.

Spiderweb Games - New Game Interview
A site called The Gamer Studio has an interview with Jeff Vogel that includes the first real details on his new series that I've seen:
What was the inspiration behind it?
Believe it or not, a Hungarian opera called Bluebeard's Castle.
Is it pure fantasy like Avernum, or does it include sci-fi elements like Geneforge; or perhaps something quasi-historical like Nethergate?
It'll be pretty straight fantasy, but with a very detailed world. There's a lot of history and cool stuff to discover.
What elements have you transfered over from your other games?
It will be a party-based role-playing game with turn-based combat, like we have always done. However, we have completely streamlined the game system in some ways and made it more elaborate in others, like the tactical combat. The basic genre is the same, but everything else is being redesigned.

Pulselocker is a landmark new attempt to change the way digital DJs play, listen to and buy music. It's a streaming and subscription service for DJs, that promises time-saving music discovery features, the ability to "borrow" tunes (that you can actually DJ with in front of your crowds!), and finally of course the chance to buy the tunes you really love.
It's just been announced, and already has over a million tunes in its catalogue, with five million promised by the end of the year. And best of all, we've managed to snag a free beta invite for every single Digital DJ Tips customer and subscriber. Read on for more about the service and how to secure your free invite to try it...
What is Pulselocker?
Pulselocker is an app you download onto your computer which lets you browse and listen to the company's already huge catalogue of digital music for DJs. The tunes are all full-length and high quality - so no two-minute excerpts or narrow bandwidth music files here.
The app has innovative features designed to let you plough through the week's new music fast. These include "needle drop", which lets you skim through a tune just like you would at a listening post in a record shop.
The service is very social, a little like SoundCloud, so you can follow labels, artists and so on to keep up with their output. The recommendation engine uses this input from all the service's members to let the most popular music bubble to the top - something anyone who'se used last.fm, for instance, will be familiar with, and again which is designed to help you get to the good stuff fast.
And here's the really clever bit - you can add tunes you're interested in to your own personal "locker". But unlike a wish list that just exists on a store's web server, your locker actually exists on your computer. The folder containing these tunes is then visible right there in your DJ software (Traktor, Serato ITCH, Serato Scratch Live, MixVibes Cross DJ - support for other programs coming soon). That means you can actually DJ with tunes you've not bought yet!
They're high-quality 320kbps MP3/AAC files, so are indistinguishable from bought files (WAV format coming soon, by the way). You don't need an internet connection to DJ with music in your "locker", and music stays right there on your computer as long as you leave it there. The thinking is that once you've DJed a time or two with a tune and you're sure you love it, you can buy it just as you would in any online store, thus freeing a space in your locker to try something else. (You get 100 locker spaces in this beta invite.)
This means you don't have to spend money on tunes you may only play once or twice. You could even fill your locker with tunes you'd never normally buy, for a one-off gig (a wedding, for instance) and then empty it afterwards, saving you a ton of money!
So you're probably wondering how good their catalogue is. Over to them on that one:
"Pulselocker offers a rich, eclectic and well-balanced catalogue of music that resonates with all DJs, regardless of the genre they play. DJs can enjoy a constantly widening spectrum of music ranging from House, Techno, Breakbeat, Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Funk, Rare Grooves and Jazz. With the daily addition of new partners, labels and artists, Pulselocker promises to offer nearly six million tracks by the end of the year."
Sounds worth a look? We think so. But while Pulselocker is now in public beta, the company has only limited spaces on its program and there's a queue. We can leapfrog you to the front of that queue so you can give it a go for yourself without waiting.
How to try Pulselocker for free
We've bagged a free beta invite for every qualifying Digital DJ Tips customer and subscriber. The service is fully working, so that means you can "borrow" and play up to 100 tunes right now in your DJ sets.
To get your free beta programme sign-up, if you're already a Digital DJ tips customer or subscriber, you need to simply watch your email inbox for a special email from us tomorrow (Wednesday) with a link to the sign-up form.
We'll ask you to confirm your name, email address and that you're in the USA, Canada or Europe. Then, Pulselocker's team will jump you to the top of the beta invite queue and you'll get a special link to download their software and start your free beta subscription. (Please give them a few days as we're expecting them to be overwhelmed with your invites, but they've promised it'll get processed as fast as possible.)
As it's a beta (full launch isn't until 2013), there are just a few limitations to be aware of. The biggest one is that it's Mac-only at the moment. Plus, it's only available to DJs in the USA, Canada and Europe. But as long as you fulfill these requirements, you're ready to go!
There's still time to become a subscriber!
Not a Digital DJ Tips subscriber? Don't worry! To join our 30,000 existing subscribers who already enjoy our weekly news and Learn To DJ Free training emails, click here to sign up now. If you sign up immediately, you'll still be in time to receive the special email, which will we are sending out tomorrow (Wednesday Nov 14 2012).
• Remember, Pulselocker is Mac-only at the moment. Plus, it's only available to DJs in the USA, Canada and Europe.
Do you like the look of Pulselocker? Do you think being able to "borrow" music is a good idea? Please share your thoughts on this service in the comments - especially after you've had a chance to play with it for a little while!

Holland in the House
Move over Dior! There is a rising star on the scene. Ex fashion journalist and self proclaimed fashion addict, Henry Holland, is wowing pop culture with his line House of Holland. Just 3 years young, this line has caught the eyes of all of the UK's hipsters and fashionistas alike. Star studded fans that dig House of Holland include Kimberly Stewart, Rosin Murphy, Alice Dellal, and Alexa Chung.
Holland entered the fashion scene with his obnoxious bold graphic tees marked with references to famous fashion designers and celebrities. "Do me in the park Marc" and "Do me daily Christopher Bailey" are two of my favorites. To purchase one of your own, check out his website: House of Holland.
House of Holland has evolved into a collection filled with youth, excitement, and high fashion. This Lancashire native has set the tone for the future development of new age grunge and rock inspired fashion. "My designs are fun, loud, and attention seeking," Holland has said of his own line.
Though Holland is still a newbie to the world of design, he is rapidly proving his capability in this ever morphing world of fashion. House of Holland hit London Fashion Week with a boom. Holland's supermodel muse and best gal pal, Agyness Deyn, rocked the catwalk at the Bloomsbury Ballroom in House of Holland SS09. The line is filled with edgy, modern feminine shapes, bright colors, bold graphic prints, soft florals, sheers, and most importantly, a rock star attitude. All of these elements combined make up everything that is Holland! His goal is to catch attention, and if it is attention he seeks, it is attention he shall receive!

it's back. A episode with two storylines and so is Viv. It was nice t have her back. It was also good that Carlton and Ashley were in a storyline together. They are both trying to get the lead signer for the special Easter Service. It's no surprise that Carlton but a little surprising that Ashley did. It was nice surprise. It was a amusing scene when Ashley and Carlton were trying to convince the Minster to convince him.
The story with the Minster was good. I really liked that it never got too far with Viv. I also like that Phillp never found out. The reaction of Will was pretty funny when he found out that the Minster coming onto Viv was pretty funny. I also enjoyed Will's time with the old ladies was pretty funny. The best part of this episode was when Phillp sat on Nicky's rabbit. How it was shot was perfectly. Animal lovers I am sure that Phillp didn't sit on the actual rabbit.
All in all this was a fine episode.

OTTAWA — New research from TD Canada Trust suggests boomers are taking on an added financial burden as they prepare for retirement — their "boomerang kids."
The report, based on an survey by Environics Research, shows boomers are stepping up at a time of high youth unemployment offering their children help from free room and board to paying off credit cards.
Even more, one in five boomers say they would be prepared to put their own security and financial future at risk to see their children through a difficult period.

The online survey of 2,155 Canadian parents with adult children out of school conducted at the start of the year found 43 per cent saying they have allowed them to stay at home rent free, and 29 per cent saying they have helped pay for a new car or computer.
In other findings, 23 per cent say they…

The Veterinary Nutrition Symposium's Best Research Reports, Part 3
Today's post completes our look at some of the interesting research presented at the Clinical Nutrition and Research Symposium held at this year's American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Conference in Seattle Washington.
Owner Perceptions of Their Dog's BCS
The BCS, or Body Condition Score, is a visual system that accurately determines a pet's fitness. One system uses a 5-point scale and the other a 9-point scale. In the 9-point scale a score of 1-3 is considered too thin while 4-5 is ideal and 6-9 is overweight (BCS Chart). One hundred dog owners participated in this study to assess the ability of dog owners to accurately rank their dog's BCS on the 9-point scale. A pet nutritionist instructed dog owners about BCS rankings while independently ranking the owner's dog. After instruction, owners then ranked their own dogs. Owners tended to give their dogs a lower BCS than the nutritionist.
Each point greater than 5 represents 10 percent excess body fat. By assigning a lower BCS, owners are overestimating the health status of their dogs and underestimating the health risks associated with excess fat.
These findings suggest that veterinarians and their staffs must make a concerted effort to carefully train owners (both dog and cat) to effectively use the BCS and to verify the owner's literacy with the system. With adequate training, the BCS is an effective tool to aid owners in monitoring their pets' health at home.
Feeding Frequency on the Voluntary Activity of Cats
This small study examined the effect of how feeding patterns influenced the voluntary activity of cats. Ten cats were subjected to four different types of feeding patterns lasting 21 days. The cats were given a 14 day adjustment period for each feeding pattern. Their activity levels were measured for the last seven days of each trial. Activity was measured by activity collars especially designed for research in animals. The cats were housed in groups of two or three in four different rooms for the entire 84 days. The light cycle was a constant 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark and the individual confinement for feeding was also held constant.
The feeding patterns were 1 daily, 2 daily every 12 hours, 4 daily every 8 hours, or 4 daily random feedings. Over all the daily activity of cats fed once daily was lower than cats fed four times daily, both scheduled and random. Activity associated with anticipation of feeding was greater for cats fed four times daily than those fed once daily. Cats fed twice or four times daily were more active during the day, while those fed once daily were more active at night.
If further studies with larger numbers of cats can corroborate these findings, they may have implications for designing feeding schedules for weight loss and weight maintenance programs in cats.
Chronic vs. Intermittent Weight Loss in Cats
It appears that long, sustained weight loss results in metabolic changes that slow metabolism. This result in weight plateaus and weight rebound after weight loss. This study evaluated six months of chronic calorie restriction (CCR) versus six months of intermittent calorie restriction (ICR) in 28 overweight cats.
Fourteen cats were fed 75 percent of their estimated daily maintenance energy requirement for six months. The other fourteen cats were fed 75 percent of their daily maintenance energy requirement for two weeks of the month and 100percent of their daily maintenance for the rest of the month for the same six month period. The researchers monitored weight loss weekly and fat loss monthly by MRI.
Both feeding methods resulted in identical weight and fat loss. The only difference found was a significantly greater fat loss in the ICR group at the end of the first month. The significance of this finding is unknown.
Intermittent calorie restriction may be perceived as less harsh by cat owners and might increase both owner compliance and retention in weight loss programs for their cats. The researchers did not test for weight rebound after the test period so it is not known if the ICR treatment had less effect on changes in metabolism and weight rebound.

"So much fun, so many memories (and) friendships forged in Green Bay," Bishop said on Twitter. "Ups (and) downs, wins (and) losses! Even a (Super Bowl) XLV championship. Forever grateful."
According to a league source, the Minnesota Vikings are at the front of the line of teams interested in acquiring the hard-hitting linebacker. According to the source, Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has been "laying in wait" on the Packers' decision.
In fact, according to ESPN Milwaukee's Jason Wilde, Bishop will be visiting Minnesota on Tuesday. The Vikings' minicamp starts on Tuesday, so there's a good chance Bishop will not leave town.
The decision, even after weeks of speculation, is stunning in light of the Packers' defensive shortcomings in 2012 and their desire to create more big plays on that side of the ball in 2013.
Even while missing three games with an injured calf in 2011, Bishop had a team-high 142 tackles, including 109 solos. Morgan Burnett was a distant second with 107 total tackles. Moreover, Bishop produced five sacks and two forced fumbles. From 2008 through 2011, Bishop forced seven fumbles. On the current roster over the past four seasons, only Clay Matthews had as many, Burnett had four and no one else forced more than one.
Bishop missed all of last season with a torn hamstring sustained in the preseason opener at San Diego. While he maintained he was 100 percent healthy, the Packers never cleared him to participate in offseason practices.
In the interim, Brad Jones emerged as a productive player. D.J. Smith started the first six games in Bishop's place before sustaining a season-ending knee injury. Jones started the final 10 games and was the every-down inside linebacker. In those games, he tallied 99 tackles (69 solos), including two sacks and the only fumble forced by the inside linebacker group.
A free agent, Jones returned to Green Bay with a three-year deal worth $3.75 million per season, including $3 million guaranteed. Plus, the Packers re-worked A.J. Hawk's overpriced salary, reducing the remaining three years to $3.53 million with $2.21 million guaranteed.
Thus, the Packers likely considered Bishop too high-priced (two years remaining, with cap numbers of $4.464 million in 2013 and $4.822 million in 2014), too injury-prone and too old (he'll turn 29 two days before camp starts on July 26), even with his playmaking, hard-hitting style.
Bishop had prorated signing bonus amounts of $800,000 for each of the next two years, meaning the Packers will swallow $1.6 million in dead money.
Along with Hawk and Jones as the projected starters, the Packers have numerous options. Robert Francois and Jamari Lattimore are two of the team's top special teams players, three draft picks were used to move up in the fifth round in 2012 to get Terrell Manning, and a seventh-round selection was used in April on Sam Barrington.
Before the draft, Packer Report was told that the Bears, Giants and Saints had expressed interest in Bishop. Chicago, without retired Brian Urlacher, and NFC North-rival Minnesota have holes at middle linebacker.

What is the best thing to feed an 8 week old kitten?
My neighbor found a kitten and b rought it to me. I have a 16 year old cat but I am not sure if I should be giving the kitten the same food. I tried giving it a little Fancy Feast Chicken and Liver canned food, but it only ate a small bite. I also have Science Diet dry food but it is for an adult cat.

Best Answer
The first thing you need to do is take the kitten to your vet to make sure that it has no health issues that would affect its appetite. Since you have an older cat, you want to make sure that it's OK to put these two guys together without worry that the young one will pass something on to the older one. Even if the baby just has fleas, you should find out from your vet what you can use on it. Fleas can make your older guy miserable. Then, while you're there, ask your vet what you should be feeding the baby. More than likely, he'll recommend kitten food, dry and/or wet. The baby should be on this for his first year of life.

California town approves coyote trapping after spike in pet attacks
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Officials in a Southern California suburb beset by a surge in coyote attacks on pets, including a small dog snatched from its owner's living room, have approved a plan to trap and kill some of the wild canines roaming the town.
The City Council of Seal Beach, a seaside community of about 25,000 residents south of Los Angeles, took the action this week following an uproar over a rise in coyotes venturing into neighborhoods to prey on dogs and cats.
Seal Beach residents have reported 50 pets killed by coyotes so far in 2014, many more than the typical number documented during a single year, Assistant City Manager Patrick Gallegos said on Wednesday.
He said much of the recent coyote activity centered on an apartment complex for retirees, where one woman reported walking back into her home after taking out the trash to find that a coyote had followed her indoors and grabbed her small dog.
"When I turned around, the coyote had her in his mouth and was running out the door," Vicki Young told television station KTLA-TV. "I haven't gotten over it, and I'm not sure that I will, because she was my constant companion."
Gallegos confirmed that account and said other residents had shot video of the normally nocturnal predators, typically wary of humans, running around homes at midday.
"There's a fear of a child getting hurt or a senior breaking her hip because they're trying to protect their pet," he said.
Some experts theorize that construction along an interstate highway has disturbed coyote dens and displaced their natural prey, driving coyotes into more populated areas for food. Persistent regional drought may also be a factor, Gallegos said. Continued...

Here comes a new competitor, famed for its bread and so well branded that people can recognise its name despite it being hailed from Langkawi. One of the many brain childs of the Malaysian ex PM and the fact that he stills enjoys the bread even though he is sick in hospital, the bakery definitely has a reputation which i was so eager to try. I randomly picked three pieces of bread just before it was about to close at 9pm on a busy Saturday night, took pictures and tried it the day after. I find it ridiculous when bread started to sell for RM18 a loaf, but never did i imagine paying almost RM 10 for a piece of bread that could pass for a baseball or a stone.
Infact i was confused by the different sizes they had of the same kind of bread. The story goes
"Rm17.65 please"
"17 what? for that 3 pieces of bread? Did i get you correct? I looked back at the price of that pumpkin bread and saw RM2.60"
"The pumpkin one is RM9.80. RM2.60 is for the petit one"
At this point, Joe runs to the basket, frantically looking for a small one. Indeed it was small and in the same basket. Once again he was conned legally and in defeat he took out the money and paid.
As he bites into that piece of bread, pumpkin seeds spill and the strong infusion of cinnamon is evident although a bit blunt and strong. It was a pity because it was real solid though. The sweet one with the orange peel was good, but then again buying at night and leaving it for the day after is not a good idea as it was yet again on the hard side.
The last and probably the better one was the red bean bun. The walnut added a contrast to the smooth red bean paste but then again i didnt like the hard piece of dough surrounding it.
As Joe lets the pieces of dough digest in his system, he wonders if it was a good idea to forgo that long queue at J&Co where he could as a natural glutton took away a dozen of calorie bursting donuts. Well, theres always tomorrow. Anyone interested? Thursday night around 7.

A factor risk model with reference returns for the US dollar and Japanese yen bond markets
This paper develops a new methodology for simulating fixed-income return distributions. It is shown that a traditional factor risk model, when augmented with reference returns, is capable of generating visually consistent return distributions for a broad range of fixed income instruments such as government and nongovernment instruments in the US dollar and Japanese yen bond markets. The reference returns result from a regime-switching Nelson-Siegel yield curve model following Bernadell, Coche and Nyholm (2005). Empirical results are encouraging: simulated distributions exhibit most characteristics observed in the fixed income markets such as non-normal right-skewed distributions for short maturity instrument while instruments with longer maturity are closer to being normally distributed.

Sometime, when I get an e-mail or visit a web page, the font is way too small. How do I enlarge it?
To increase or decrease your font size in either Internet Explorer or Outlook Express, just hit the View menu, Text Size. The procedure is usually similar for other e-mail clients and web browsers.
As they say there's more than one way to skin a cat. The same is true with enlarging font sizes (and you'll be happy to know it's not nearly as disgusting as that cat skinning thing mentioned above).
Anyhow, if you have one of those handy little wheel mice, you should be able to hold down your CTRL key and scroll to adjust font size.
Is that cool or what?

Now my hair and my nails, specifically, and I'm sure my skin too, has a bit of skunkyness on them. I've showered 4 times since it happened last night, and shampooed 10 times.
Any way to get the smell off? I don't totally reek (my bunny would tell me if I did ), but there's definitely a hint of skunk still wafting around me.
