Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Growing Arab and Islamic anti-Semitism is posing a strategic threat to Israel by threatening the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and encouraging and justifying terrorism, according to report released this week.
The study, conducted by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC), a quasi-official organization, examines the roots and characteristics of and dangers posed by contemporary anti-Semitism in the Arab and Muslim world.
Through the use of anti-Semitism, a generation of Arabs, Palestinians and Muslims are being educated to hate Israel and the Jewish people, ITIC director Dr. Reuven Erlich told Cybercast News Service in a discussion about the report.
"It contradicts the peace process. It encourages and justifies terrorism [and] is a tool in the policy of Iran, which became an anti-Semitism-sponsoring state," Erlich said.
(Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has openly called for the destruction of Israel and denies the magnitude of the Holocaust.)
According to an English summary of the study, anti-Semitism in the Arab and Muslim world has distinctive characteristics.
It is generally directed against Israel -- the "Jewish-Zionist state" -- as well as the Jewish people; it draws from a political interpretation of verses from the Koran and Islamic oral tradition to delegitimize Israel and the Jewish people; it denies or minimizes the Holocaust and conversely accuses Israel of committing a Holocaust against Palestinians; and it provides justification for terrorism against Israelis and Jews.
There also is a link between anti-Semitism and anti-American and anti-Western sentiments. Al Qaeda, global jihad and radical Islamic groups claim that "the struggle between Islam on the one hand and Judaism and Christianity on the other is an integral part of the ancient, multidimensional struggle between Islam and the 'infidel' West," the report says.
Anti-Semitic attitudes are disseminated through television, Internet and other media. Arabic bookshops in London even carry copies of Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an early 20th century Russian forgery in which Jews purportedly plan to take over the world. The book has been published in Arabic in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East.
"Anti-Semitism and the accompanying hate industry are a strategic danger for Israel and the Jewish people," said the 180-page report written in Hebrew for distribution to Israeli policymakers.
"Generations of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims are brought up hating the Jews; the peace process is damaged and obstacles to the normalization of Israel's relations with the Arab countries of the Middle East are erected; indiscriminate Palestinian terrorism against Israel is made palatable, as is Hizballah's Shi'ite terrorism and that of al Qaeda, when directed against Israel and Jews around the world," it says.
Erlich said failure to deal with this growing phenomenon means there is little chance for any peace process to succeed.
"Within the peace process, the issue of education in the Arab world is very important. Education is the basis for Arab-Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian peace. Without the right education, there will be a continuation of hate [and] anti-Semitism," Erlich said.
President Bush is hoping that Israel and the Palestinians will reach a permanent status agreement by the end of his term in office in less than a year. But Erlich said that is unlikely.
It will be very difficult to push the peace process forward without the right educational foundation, which could take dozens of years, said Erlich. The timetable of such education is different from the timetable of the peace process, he said.
Because anti-Semitism and anti-Israel incitement are such an obstacle to peace, they should be dealt with in the first phase of any peace process, he added.
(According to the 1995 Israeli-Palestinian interim agreement, both the Israelis and Palestinians undertook to strengthen understanding and tolerance and to prevent incitement and hostile propaganda, including legally. They also pledged to advance peace through their educational systems.
A trilateral committee (U.S., Israel and the Palestinians) established to monitor incitement never got off the ground.)
The ITIC has been monitoring anti-Semitism in the Arab and Islamic world for the past six years, Erlich said, and it appears to be getting worse, perhaps because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or the strengthening of the radical Islamic movements, Erlich said.
Erlich said the ITIC has recommended the establishment of an international task force to against anti-Semitism and incitement.

Oval Office Get-together: Obama Meets Prince Charles
The meeting between President Barack Obama and Prince Charles in the Oval Office Wednesday turned out to a nice photo op and a reaffirmation of the special relationship between the U.S. and U.K. – not to mention another opportunity to dwell on Prince William's and Kate Middleton's wedding last Friday.
The president congratulated Prince Charles on his son's wedding, and asked him to pass along his best wishes to the newlyweds, according to a statement issued by the White House. It also said Mr. Obama welcomed Prince Charles, "affirming the strength and depth of the alliance between the United States and the United Kingdom," and he thanked him "for the important contributions that British forces are making in Afghanistan and Libya."
We expect more pleasantries when Mr. Obama makes a state visit to the U.K. this month, at the invitation of Prince Charles's mum, Queen Elizabeth II. Mr. Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama arrive in London on May 24 and leave May 26…

Federal Govt Takes 1st Step in Native Hawaiian Govt
The Obama administration is taking the first formal step in a long process that could result in an official relationship between the federal government and a future Native Hawaiian governing entity. The U.S. Department of the Interior has scheduled public meetings in Hawaii beginning June 23, to get feedback on the question of whether a government-to-government relationship should be re-established, and if so, how to achieve that. All four of Hawaii's congressional delegates issued a statement saying "We applaud the Administration's commitment to an open dialogue, starting with listening sessions in Hawaii to provide ample opportunity for Native Hawaiians and the general public to contribute their comments and concerns. This notice represents an historic opportunity to address years of injustice and marks a positive step forward in the push for Native Hawaiian self-determination."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
I only stayed one night, prior to a cruise - the hotel offered all we needed, easily located, good meal, etc. Not applicable
Location if doing a cruise could not be beaten. It is also handy to buses, cafes etc. Nothing we didnt like
Helpful and professional staff, position, new structure and environment. It only miss a sauna...
Close to Costa Cruises Departures.
The hotel is in a very nice place near to the sea. They should have internet point.
It was very nice and the staff was excellent and very helpful. Nothing to complain about, everything was fine.
The quality of the room i stayed in was superb. Hi-tech, comfortably, safe. The area is going through major development. It will have a great mix of modern and rustic scenary. The harbor is a great place to hang out, eat, drink. The town center is a beautiful place to eat shop. My stay was very relaxing, and served as a great base.
We stayed there one night to yoin a Cost Cruis ship, location perfect.
Confortable room Very slow check-in/out
The service from the Hotel personnel was excellent None
Location , beach, parking, room, see view, staff, breakfast. Restaurant - exellent food but too expensive for the beach hotel. Hotel is a little bit far from Savona city center and port. No food available after 4 P.M. Many wendor people on the beach offering unnecessary goods
very friendly staff, very helpful
I like the Beach and the Seaside during our stay. nothing
Location on sea side,room spacious,great bathroom very good breakfast buffet,nice pool area,good beach amminites. no
The reception staff were very kind and helpful. The room service staff was not happy when I forget to mention the milk to my caffee and he had to come back twice.
The beach, breakfast and staff friendlyness Organisation of buffet at the evening
Practical hotel with private beach. Cheap Wi-Fi connection, 3€/24hr. Parking free outside.
The beach, pool, very helpful staff (especially the manager), good food with a variety of dining options in the evening including the 'beach' bar and sushi options (excellent). When we arrived (midweek) we were informed of a late night concert, which went on till 12:30. We were offered reduced rate, however we declined as we had been travelling all day and just wanted a quiet restful evening, however the rest of the stay made up for our initial disappointment.
Location is very nice with own beach
very nice hotel 20 m from sea, fantastic restaurant, dinner prices high, but taste cover the price.
The cuisine was good, the pools were handy noise at night, extra beds smaller and uncomfortable than advertised.
Fantastic swimming pools, lovely apartment and excellent food. Our stay was only 4 nights but we had no new towels or room service which l did expect at least once and l didnt like the idea after paying in advance for the stay of having to also put a deposit down once at hotel and also having to strip our own beds and return the linen and towels to the laundry for them to check it was all there before we could leave and have our deposit returned.
not much I was on a business trip your hotel is a family resort, it was over priced, in poor condition and totally not what I was looking for
Kind staff, very helpful, very reasonalbe prices in Pizzeria (don't know about restaurant), very friendly with children, nice seaview (farer away) opening times of swimming area could be longer. Instead of 9 - 19 h, 8 - 20 h. So, if you have to leave the hotel in the morning, you would have the possibility of going for a swim in the morning before breakfast.
Swimming Pool is great. Entretainment is only in italian, makes you feel apart.
Lots of facilities and lovely staff
Perfect location to stay with small children. Very good food.
facilities were good...and it was an escape from the busy sea fronts difficulty in access to tennis courts
Excellent for families with kids, although distant from the see Long waiting time at the reception, reception staff willing but not efficient, boring breakfasts
good location though the town of spotorno was quiet. not quite enough activity. quite dificult to drive up to hotel and to park the car.
My room is very nice view sea and comfortable and clean!breakfast is varied and tasty.
This is lovely hotel with a magnificent view. The room was lovely and as described on the website. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and for breakfast you can even have their own home made natural yoghurt. It's only 7 km from Savona which means it's a perfect location for people starting or ending a cruise from there as we were as it means you can have a lovely view rather than overlooking a major port! The other major plus is the ability to go to sleep while listening to the waves washing on the beach.
Everyting very nice, perfect vacation Hotel Their Internet does not work well with VPN, disconnects after 120 seconds due to what appears to their Router Program as inactivity.This Hotel is not recommended for Business Travelers who need VPN connectivity. Hotel said they would fix but I do not believe they will, requires a different program setup regarding Internet connection keep-alive's which is easy but stil requires a biut of work.
Charming design, amazing see view, good restaurant and very friendly staff in the hotel and in the beach. I remind my vacation warmly.
Very friendly staff, nice location, close to a nice beach, really good for a short break The aggressive sales guys on the beach are sooo ennoying, but that's hardly the hotel's fault. If you like buying fake rubbish, that's the place to be !
Excellent room, very comfortable bed. We were on the 4th floor and had a balcony with a sea view. Very friendly family run hotel with an excellent, if not a little pricey restaurant. Very enjoyable evening meal. One reason we booked this hotel was because they provided a wi-fi connection. Unfortunately we were unable to get an adequate connection. We were offered the use of the computer in the lobby, however this was not functioning when we needed to use it.
very professional staff.
Breakfast, very nice room and view I asked before if the swimming pool was open and they aswered yes. However, one man in the reception said we could not go swimming at all. (Other man at the reception said it was ok, but that day it was already too late for it)
Good location - helpful staff Parking is a nightmare - the garage is always full and very hard to drive around if you have anything more than a compact car. Make sure you wake up early for breakfast, or selection will be poor
friendly staff; close to the beach price far too high for an old hotel without any comfort
walking to the albisola marina, drink capuchinno, surfing in internet, they have for free internet for guest from booking.com no
Room was very nice and comfortable, generally nice atmosphere Breakfast not really good, restaurant also for other meals not really recommendable, food not good enough and much too pricy
Hotel was ok, but very expensive for what it was. Not really the hotel's fault, but that place is awful! If you don't need to go there, don't go there! We wondered where the 4 stars came from. Felt more like 2. Would have been ok for €80. For €120 I would not stay again.
The art on the walls, the family atmosphere The building in front of it, blocking seaview for 90%
Everyone extremely friendly, service was great. I do find the shower very small for a man my size.
As above Insuficient Staff
The staff was friendly and the room was nice. It had a/c which was nice during the summer. The view of the run down gas station was not the best.
Hotel is next to the petrol station, the beach is dirty, close to a factory, huge tanker boats in the coast. A frequent railway traffic just behind the hotel (even at night).
The hotel staff was very helpful and provided us with directions and called for taxis when needed.
The staff was very hekpful The beds were very hard...new, clean but very firm.
Very helpful staff, smooth check-in/out, early breakfast to meet our needs to get back on the road early. Good value for money. Dog was allowed in the room with no problem. Close to highway, easily accessible, but also next to road and train as well. Cleanliness and quality of the room is average, we only stayed for 1 night so was no issue for us, but can be if you are planning to stay longer.
Close to the beach and the reception staff we excellent A little far from town and shopping. Resteraunt not open on the weekends
Location. Kindness. Confort. Breakfast
Location was near train station
The friendly barman was accommodating and served us even though the bar had closed because we arrived extremely late due to the hotel. 1. Early check out time of 10am, 2. Hotel had not read the reservation correctly and only had one room prepared, despite it being almost midnight. 3. The reception staff were not systematic in their dealings with various customers, often leaving one halfway to attend to another, or having multiple members of staff dealing with one person.
We were possible to check in even before 14:00, parking fee is counted pre night, and stuff allowed me to leave car in parking space till evening of that thay when we checked out, what helped a lot. Room was OK (although view on sea would make it absolutely perfect) but I booked it on last minute.Very satisfied with garden and swimmongf pool. Nice breakfast with view on the sea. In general full satisfaction. Absence of Wifi signal in the rooms and garden.. Balcony on the side towards the hills was relatively small and accessible via bathroom, but it was not criticatl issue.
Hotel is very nice, staff was freandly and extremly supportive, huge breakfast. Parking rarely suitable for big limousines
The restaurant and food were very good and the staff friendly. The room was comfortable, although quite small. the internet connection, which I require for work, was adequate only. The location was ideal for my purposes. Very little around the hotel.
a very comfortable hotel.
Nice design, free parking, free wired Internet in rooms, large bed, excellent comfort, soundproofed rooms, close to Vado Ligure city, close to A10 Savona exit. Need a car to access to hotel, Internet not regular in speed, room a bit small.
Proximity to business meeting location. Private parking free of charge. Brand new, very comfortable rooms. Good breakfast. Impossible to stop air conditioning from the room (needed to call reception, but found out the next morning!). No wireless internet in rooms, only wired connection with too short cable. Not (yet) possible to pay with American Express card.
Cleanliness of room and the terrace with a panoramic view on the seaside Nothing
Great location and you could hear the ocean, nice resturant in hotel and little bar...easy walk to other resturants and a great town.
Amazing View to the Beach, Great Location
clean rooms in a good location with excellent views and pleasant staff
The location with the see so close and the nice boulevard. Also the fact that you could park the car in front of the hotel (mid-september) It was much more simple than the idea from the web-site. Although the breakfast room was still almost empty, there was put a German couple right next to us.
The place was clean, organised in the main part, a good level of English spoken but i had a real Italian feel to it (which is good). Lots of help getting into the hotel and leaving with the luggage, nice foyer, very good proximity to the beach WiFi not available in the rooms, the restaurant opened from 7.30 to 8.00 pm ..... any later and you were too late....which is a bit strange...we noticed some variable standards in the room shampoo and soap provision, i.e. barely used soap had been put back in the wrapper ...and put back on the sink as new
Staff efficient and helpful. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Breakfasts very good - and good value Bedside lighting not good enough to read in bed. Wi-fi access would have been desirable
For a 4* hotel the breakfeast was poor [only one kind of cheese and prosciutto, no eggs/omelette] and was as in 3* hotel.
This is an ideal hotel for families with children. The hotel is directly located on the beach, you can access it directly from the hotel. The rooms are comfortable, modern, and have a splendid view of the sea. The breakfast is à-la-italian-style, but with the location, the friendliness of the staff, this is just a minor detail.
Good location,nice rooms facing the sea,excellent breakfast,friendly staff.
Very good location for 1 night stay during car journey fron France to Italy. We booked paid parking but were provided by groung parking on hotel territory free of charge! Frendly hotel staff on reception reccomended us good restaurant for late night dinner nearby.
Good location, parking ok, staff carefull. Breakfast was poor, the hotel is not a 4 star hotel really.
Location, parking, comfort of room, friendly and efficient staff.
The fact that it was close to the beach. The food of the restaurant was very good and the staff was friendly. We believe the services, the room and the hotel itself was not worth the money nor it's really a 4 star hotel. It needs mayor upgrading.
The hotel was v ery well situated near the town centre and beach The hotel was a little out of date, and did not seem to be 4star standard
I realy liked people who work in the hotel. They are very friendly. But only two of them speak English. The hotel is good lockated, just near the see and in two minutes wirking to the town centre. I would like to have more diferensiated breakfast with more fruits and cheese. As well in the night is impossible to order tee to the room. You have to go to the bar and take it your self.
The atention of the owners, the view, the fresh air, the home breakfast.
Beautiful seaview, warm welcome, lots of atmosphere, much attention paid to decoration and surroundings, breakfast on terrace under kiwis with seaview in october! Went with older children, more suitable for romantic weekend, but they enjoyed it too.
Stylish, well designed hotel in a near perfect position. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The access to the beach is not as easy as one might expect from the pic: the beach bar umbrellas sunbeds etc in front of the hotel are not owned by the hotel and you have to pay for access. However public beach is close.
Beautiful, bright room with amazing view, great bathroom, great service and breakfast and beautiful location.
How helpful and friendly they were. I have a Boxer dog and the accepted her without any problems!
I stayed in room 202 which was beautifully decorated with a bath in the bathroom, a balcony with a wonderful sea view and very quiet, apart from the gentle, relaxing sound of the waves. The staff were happy, friendly, professional and above all relaxed. They welcomed me and remembered me from last year! I would have loved to have stayed longer and will return next year!
It is right on the beach with very comfortable rooms. The hotel is very clean, relaxing, and the staff is very friendly. It has accommodations for 3 in one room, which is nice.
The village Varigotti was so nice and Finale Ligure magical. So lovely and tranquile. The Village FinaleBorgo with the old city wonderful...Lovation of the hotel perfect along the coast and a lovely walk everywhere. A must do and see.

ONTARIO - The advice Ontario High boys soccer coaches Vince Mangione and Moses Venegas gave to their players before Tuesday's game at Ontario High was "have fun."
Winning in the CIF-SS semifinals certainly qualifies as "having fun."
The Jaguars advanced to their first CIF-SS championship game by downing Los Angeles Cathedral in a Division 4 semifinal 4-1 on penalty kicks after the teams tied 1-1 in regulation.
Unseeded Ontario (20-7-1) will play South Torrance in the championship game on Friday or Saturday. The site, date and time will be announced today. Cathedral (20-4-2) lost in the semifinals for the second year in a row.
"It means so much, never having been there before," senior Adrien Perez said.
After regulation and overtime failed to decide a winner, the game went to penalty kicks. Venegas and Mangione allowed the players to decide the order of who was going to take the kicks.
"There was really no arguing. They just figured it out, except who was going fifth or sixth," Venegas said.
A game that was even for 100 minutes was one-sided when it came to penalty kicks and never got to a fifth round.
Ontario's Adrien Perez, Angel Flores, Jesus Soria and Roger Gomez all calmly converted their chances, but the Phantoms had a much more difficult time.
Wilton Quintero shot his wide of the goal and Ontario goalie Antonio Ramirez got a piece of Alberto Colin's attempt and deflected it off the post and out. Axel Mendez converted Cathedral's third attempt, but Gomez's goal to start the fourth round sent the players and the fans into a wild celebration.
"When you win on PKs, you have to be a little lucky," Venegas said.
The game was scoreless in regulation until Perez, a senior, scored on a rebound in the 53rd minute to give Ontario a 1-0 lead.
Perez nearly doubled the lead about three minutes later. He took a free kick and the ball squirted past Cathedral goalie Brian Paredes and rolled to the goal line before it was cleared by the Cathedral defense.
"Their goalie was really stellar and we almost scored a second one," Venegas said.
Then, in the 64th minute, the game was 1-1 when Kevin Geddes scored off a throw-in.
In the 75th minute, Ontario fans got upset when the officials missed a handball by Cathedral in the penalty area.
"They missed one there, but I think they missed one on us earlier in the game," Venegas said. "So it was pretty even."

Baton Rouge-based specialty chemicals maker Albemarle Corp. will pay $6.2 billion in cash and stock for a New Jersey firm that produces the lithium and lithium compounds used in batteries for smartphones and hybrid and electric vehicles.
The acquisition of Princeton, New Jersey-based Rockwood Holdings Inc. will likely mean adding jobs at Albemarle's shared-services centers in Baton Rouge, Budapest and China, although those details are still being worked out, Albemarle President and Chief Executive Officer Luke Kissam said Tuesday.
The shared-services centers handle back-office operations, such as administrative and support services.
There is little in the way of overlap between Albemarle's Baton Rouge Process Development Center and those at Rockwood, Kissam said. He doesn't expect much in the way of impact on Albemarle's local research and development facility.
"We had been looking for a number of years at the Rockwood business, and if you look at their history over the last four years, they've really converted themselves from a holding company to a pure play in lithium and surface treatment," Kissam said. "Both of those businesses have great growth prospects. Both of those businesses … are very high-margin businesses."
Lithium and Albemarle's bromine business have similar technologies, as do Albemarle's catalysts and Rockwood's surface treatment business. Those new lines of business, and their similarities, will help Albemarle to drive additional growth.
"All four businesses have high margins, strong competitive positions and attractive long-term growth," Kissam said.
The deal came together rapidly over the past month. Rockwood's acquisition will make Albemarle No. 1 or No. 2 in each of the four lines of business. In 2013, lithium accounted for $479 million in revenue; bromines, $1.39 billion; refinery and polyolefin catalysts, $1 billion; and surface treatment, which includes cleaners, coolants, paint strippers and corrosion protection, $770 million.
The addition of lithium and surface treatment brings Albemarle closer to Kissam's plan to focus on only the most profitable lines of business, as well as Albemarle's Vision 2015 goal, which included increasing revenue to $5 billion a year. The companies' 2013 combined revenue was around $4 billion.
Asked what's next, Kissam said Albemarle's employees want to know the exact same thing.
"First of all we've got to digest what we have before we take another bite," Kissam said.
For the next two to three years, Albemarle will concentrate on integrating its new properties, running the businesses the way they should be and generating the cash to pay down debt, Kissam said.
Albemarle plans to borrow the cash portion of the deal, about $3.7 billion, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Investors didn't exactly jump aboard the Albemarle train following the announcement. Albemarle's shares closed at $70.03, down $2.58 cents, in heavy trading. Close to 14.6 million shares changed hands, 30 times the normal volume. Meanwhile, Rockwood shares jumped $7.44 to close at $83.14.
Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Edward Yang downgraded Albemarle to "Underperform" the S&P 500 over the next 12 to 18 months.
"This looks to be a defensive transaction, given that Albemarle's EPS (earnings per share) has declined 13 percent from 2011's peak of $4.88 despite $847 million of stock buybacks," Yang said in a report.
Credit Suisse analyst John P. McNulty was surprised by Albemarle investors' muted reaction.
McNulty described the lithium business as Rockwood's "Crown Jewel" and surface treatment as a cash cow in a report issued Tuesday.
Rockwood controls, directly or indirectly, 55 percent to 60 percent of the global lithium market and owns some of the lowest-cost reserves in the industry. Credit Suisse still expects Rockwood shares to reach $90 for two reasons, McNulty said. As Albemarle investors become more comfortable with Rockwood's high growth and cash generation, the price for Albemarle's shares will push higher. The proposed deal offers only a minimal premium and doesn't prevent other companies from making a play for Rockwood. There may be other potential bidders.
Under the deal, each Rockwood share will be exchanged for $50.65 in cash and 0.48 shares of Albemarle. This works out to $85.53 per share of Rockwood stock, or 13 percent more than the stock closed at Monday. It also means Rockwood shareholders will end up owning about 30 percent of Albemarle.
The strong cash flow the four businesses generate will allow Albemarle to rapidly reduce debt, support ongoing dividend payments and continue investing in the businesses to fuel growth and boost shareholder value, Kissam said. Albemarle won't have to skimp on its spending on those businesses in order to reduce its debt.
The deal is expected to increase Albemarle's cash earnings per share, a key measure of financial performance, in the first year. In the second year, the acquisition is expected to increase earnings per share. Albemarle said Rockwood's acquisition will be "substantially accretive" thereafter.
By 2016, Albemarle also expects to reduce costs by $100 million per year by eliminating duplicate expenses, through increased buying power and the operational economies of scale.
Albemarle said the acquisition will lift three key financial indicators for 2015:
- Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization will climb to more than $1 billion.
- Adjusted EBITDA margins will be greater than 25 percent. The higher the margin, the less operating expenses eat into the bottom line, which leads to a more profitable company, according to Investopedia.com.
"This is one of the few businesses we've looked at that when we were able to add it together that it actually increased the EBITDA margin of Albemarle," Kissam said. "So, (it's a) really high-quality business with an opportunity for greater growth."
- Finally, Albemarle expects annual free cash flow of about $500 million.
The boards of directors of both companies have already signed off on the deal. Shareholders and regulators must also approve the transaction. Albemarle expects to close the deal in the first quarter of 2015.
Albemarle also announced that it expects second-quarter earnings in the range of $86 million to $88 million, or $1.08 to $1.11 per share, compared to $79.2 million, or 94 cents per share, a year earlier.
Albemarle said its net sales, adjusted for discontinued operations, will be about $605 million, up from $577 million in the second quarter of 2013. Stronger sales of catalysts used in refining helped generate the improved results.
Albemarle expects to release second-quarter earnings after the stock market closes on July 30, a week later than previously announced.

News Release
For Immediate Release
August 3, 2012
James T. Boffetti, Senior Assistant Attorney General
(603) 271-0302
Attorney General Michael A. Delaney issued the following consumer alert to all New Hampshire property owners:
Consumers should be aware of mailings being sent to property owners throughout the state from companies using the names "Secured Document Services" and "Deed Retrieval Services."
The mailings appear to be official government notices recommending, "that all United States [or New Hampshire] homeowners obtain a copy of their current grant deed" and further indicate that, for a fee of $86.00 or $87.00, these companies will provide the property owner with a copy of their Grant Deed and a Property Profile.
The Attorney General advises that these companies are providing a service of questionable value and the information advertised in these solicitations can be obtained from any of the State's Registers of Deeds for significantly less money. With deeds so easily and inexpensively attainable, the existence of these companies depends greatly on the public's unfamiliarity with the county registers of deeds offices.
Attorney General Delaney stated, "The real lesson for an educated consumer is to know what you are paying for, which in the case of these deed retrieval companies is virtually nothing more than a homeowner can acquire for far less cost. Don't be fooled by a company whose name sounds 'official' or by an 'official' looking notice designed to confuse and mislead you. If you would like a copy of your deed, you can obtain it yourself for nominal cost and time, or contact your county's Register of Deeds, who would be glad to assist you."
Under New Hampshire's Consumer Protection Act, N.H. RSA 358-A, it is unlawful for any person to use any unfair or deceptive act or practice in the conduct of any trade or commerce within this state. Anyone who feels they have been the victim of any unfair or deceptive act should call the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Bureau hotline at (603) 271-3641 or 1-888-468-4454. For more information on consumer fraud you can also visit the Bureau's website at www.doj.nh.gov/consumer.

PSD to reveal cost of kerbside
PUBLIC SERVICES will reveal how much more it will cost to introduce kerbside recycling when proposals are tabled early next year.
PUBLIC SERVICES will reveal how much more it will cost to introduce kerbside recycling when proposals are tabled early next year.
But the department has insisted its kerbside scheme, together with the new waste strategy, will be more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective in the long term.
The news came as it defended its kerbside recycling plans from a backlash of criticism this week, with some douzaines expressing concern over the costs and who will be responsible for billing islanders.
Refuse collectors also voiced fears they might lose their jobs when the scheme is introduced next year.
Public Services deputy minister Scott Ogier, pictured, said: 'We recognise cost is a concern for many islanders and that is reflected in the importance it has been given in all our work on the strategy and now kerbside.'
Comments for: "PSD to reveal cost of kerbside"
I'm used to doing my own recycling now and quite happy to keep doing it.
If other people were not that fussed either way - could it just be brought in for those that have difficulties doing it? Perhaps that would keep costs of the service down? Or would that just reduce the economies of scale and make it more expensive?
Just a thought.
Rees Bryant
If people want it, then charge them an annual fee, on top of rates.
Or, even better, carry out cost-benefit analyses to help determine the answer/s. This type of analysis is so basic, and simple, and would quite quickly show the answers/options. Which could differ for different types of waste.
Obviously the more who have it the lower the cost to each will be. But what is the cost of not collecting it? How much is re-cycled waste worth? Type by type - glass, paper, plastic etc. And what does it cost to collect? Whichever way?
Has anyone done the sums? It is not difficult, or shouldn't be. A few hours with a spreadsheet?
The point of a waste strategy based on minimising the amount of 'residual' waste (the waste that requires disposal), is that you spend more money and give more focus to the systems that help to prevent waste from becoming waste. The processes that enable us to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle will therefore need greater investment in order to minimise the quantity of waste that requires expensive disposal.
I agree with you Dani that the Bring Banks work perfectly well for me as they do for you. However it has been proven over and over again in other jurisdictions, that kerbside collection of recyclables increases levels of recycling throughout a community.
As I mentioned in the other kerbside blogg yesterday, there are now too many people in the world for us all to continue to be wasteful with resources. Recovering materials before they become waste will be the central plank of how our strategy works and the overall cost of the strategy will be dependent on how good we are at doing that. Kerbside collections will be key to that and therefore might well require increased spending to achieve the aims. But that will be offset by less money needing to be spent on the most expensive (per tonne) element which is the 'disposal'.

The Eat Like a Man Guide to Christmas Day
Philly chef Marc Vetri's two-year-old trattoria highlights local draft options like the saffron-and-honey-infused Dogfish Head Midas Touch and Stoudt's clean, crisp, German-style Pils. Food-friendly bottles include Italy's Baladin Nora, an Egyptian-inspired brew made with the ancient grain kamut as well as ginger, orange, and myrrh. Italian restaurants seem to be the least willing to put decent birra options on their vino lists, and as such, Vetri's commitment to craft beer is especially encouraging.
Washington, D.C.
I don't think it's too much to say that pizza and beer might be the greatest food-beverage pairing imaginable. The folks behind St. Louis-based Pi Pizzeria must feel similarly, given how much thought they've put into the beer menu of their newest outpost, in the Penn Quarter neighborhood. Tap handles from Schlafly, Bell's, and Jolly Pumpkin pay homage to the pizzeria's Midwestern roots. A broad selection of cans and large-format bottles provide enough malts and hops to please every palate. You can drink crappy beer at just about any pizza joint, but it's not every day you find one where you can wash down your roasted-eggplant, cornmeal-crusted deep-dish with Stone Smoked Porter.

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP —- Local veterans gathered Friday night to demonstrate missing in action does not mean forgotten.
The local chapters of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Vietnam Veterans of America sponsored a service to remember the tens of thousands of American military personnel who "have not yet returned home."
National POW/MIA Recognition Day, which was first observed in 1979, occurs annually across the country on the third Friday of September.
More than 83,000 Americans are missing from World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, the Vietnam War and the 1991 Gulf War, according to the U.S. Department of Defense's Prisoner of War Missing Personnel Office. The number of missing personnel from the recent Iraq war is six, the department states.
A few dozen residents and veterans gathered at Gaskill Park on Friday night for a ceremony in honor of those classified as POW/MIA. Forty seven American flags were placed on the ground next to a POW/MIA statue in honor of the 47 state veterans with this classification. Their names were also read aloud during the ceremony.
"We need to keep pressure on federal government to keep investigating these issues," said Atlantic County Freeholder John Risley. "It's important."
Bob McNulty, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Post 825 in Mays Landing, said the event was started in 1999 by Egg Harbor Township resident Don Souder who also started the event in Somers Point a few years ago.
"No one in the county had done anything for POW/MIA," McNulty, a resident of Egg Harbor Township and veteran of the U.S. Navy said. "We want to keep them in front of the American public."
Russell Robinson, commander of the Atlantic County American Legion, said he has a kinship with those who were killed in Vietnam where he served as a member of the U.S. Army.
"I feel we need to get them back," the Pleasantville resident said.
Mays Landing resident Henry Lisitski, a member of the Boy Scout Troop CC of Mays Landing, which volunteered during the event, said it was unnerving to see all the flags representing state veterans who are still missing and he feels sympathy for their families.
"You are pretty much living day by day in doubt waiting to find out if their loved one is OK and what happened to them," the 15 year old said.

GTA 5 Strategy Guide Will 'Sell Out' – BradyGames
Grand Theft Auto 5 will come with its own strategy guide when its eventually released, with BradyGames confirming it has won the right to map "the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches," in what Rockstar is touting as its most ambitious game to date.
The most valuable info will be where to find all the best cars, weapons, clothes and perhaps more acrss the sprawling map of the under-wraps open-world sequel – which BradyGames believes will see the guide sell out.
"When Grand Theft Auto V finally comes out, we're going to have a really good year. We know we're going to sell out of strategy guides for that game," Brady's global strategy guide publisher Mike Degler told MCV.
GTA 5's release date, and even year of release, is still a mystery – but Rockstar is expected to drop more details on the game after Max Payne 3 launches in May.
Do you usually buy strategy guides, or do you consider them cheating? Would you make an exception for a game the size of GTA 5? Have your say below!

M, Alam base on today. The Prime Minister said more delay could not be afforded to meet the challenges which are being faced by the country. He said the government is striving forward to make the country a progressive and developed State which could meet the requirement of modern era. Nawaz Sharif said none of the country has requested Pakistan to send its forces nor Pakistan will send its forces to any other country. He said the visit of King of Bahrain is in the interest of Pakistan. He said the recent visit of Saudi Crown Prince also reflects that Pakistan foreign policy is moving in the right direction. He hoped these visits will go a long way in further strengthening Pakistan's ties with Muslim countries. The Prime Minister said Pakistan Air Force is fully capable to defend Pakistani territory. He said PAF has made significant efforts to improve its capabilities and the production of JF-17 Thunder is one of the best examples. He hoped that PAF will continue to bring in further improvement in various sections. He said the incumbent government is committed to turn the country into a real progressive and welfare State.

Comics timeline?Edit
I recall a timeline of DC's Trek comics (or at least the TNG stuff) published in a TNG letter column. IIRC, there were three versions printed throughout the run. Unfortunately, I do not have access to any of them currently and was wondering if anyone else does. They showed where the TNG comics and early novels fit in with the episodes. -- StAkAr Karnak 04:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- One version was in the letter column of Star Trek: The Next Generation Annual #1 ("The Gift"), another version is in Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Modala Imperative #4 ("Game, Set and Match!")...
- It would make a good source material for background notes, however, whenever stardates appeared to get out of order, they went ahead and changed them, so its not so great for cross referencing the numbers themselves, the order is pretty decent though. -- Captain M.K.B. 13:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't have the timeline from the Modula Imperative issue, but I do have the final one published from #69: "Dreams Die", which I've transcribed completely, and put online. One of those curiosity things, more than anything really. :) -- Sulfur 01:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

What use could a ball thats not round be for anything, least of all football of any kind, surely this was some kind of gimic or joke?
Curiosity got the better of me when I was in our kit supplier's store last October, I picked up the rubber strange shaped orange ball and asked what on earth it was for, I was informed that it was a training aid for football teams who used astro turf or halls for winter training and wanted to reproduce the ball reactions you get on grass.
This actually made perfect sense, as a coach I find that our general performance does deteriorate when the clocks change and we stop training on grass. On astroturf or in the games hall the ball has a perfectly smooth surface to roll or bounce on, my players get used to anticipating the movement of it which catches them out on a Sunday morning when they play their game on grass. Most parks allocated for youth football are in a dreadful state which means the ball movement is quite random.
I bought the thing for £7 and decided to unleash it at our next training session, we trained as normal using our usual size 4 mitre malmo's untill it was time for our bounce game, we were in the games hall, having picked the teams and set them up I blew my whistle and threw the reactaball into play, my players were quite taken aback asking what it was so I explained its purpose then told them to play the game.
At first it seemed to be a bit of a joke, they struggled with dribbling, passing, shooting and their first touch was proving almost impossible so I made them persivere, we used it for our bounce game after every session all through the winter and know what we won every single game, reactions on grass steadily improved and their feet speed and anticipation is now second to none, It seems that while most other teams were struggling with the Sunday parks we were finding it easy because this thing prepared us.
The ball is 20cm in diameter, as I said cost me £7, the best £7 I've ever spent on football, sadly it burst 3 weeks ago so I have just bought 2 new ones, they are now going for £5 from -
I seriously advise any football team or parent reading this to go out and buy one, the players will initially hate it but its worth its weight in gold and you will find that they begin to appreciate it when they see the sharpness it brings to their game.
On a smooth surface it reacts similarly to any ball on a rutted grass park, its an invaluable tool, not just for football either as it is excellent for generally improving reactions and would be suitable as an aid to many sports.
Football, from the world cup to a sunday league pub side, there exists a level from everyone to participate in, I would like to share my views about a club playing at Junior level in Scotland.
Lugar Boswell Thistle Juniors http://www.lugarboswellthistle.com/
The team were formed in 1898 and play at Rosebank Park in the village of Lugar, they ply their trade in the Ayrshire District League, the third division.
This season they played a successful campaign and narrowly missed out on promotion by a goal difference of 4. Below is a list of the club's achievements to date:
Ayrshire First Division winners: 1954, 1956
Ayrshire Second Division winners: 1996, 2000
Ayrshire Cup: 1928, 1929
Ayrshire District Cup: 1930, 1949
Ayrshire League: 2003
This club are keeping football alive in their small local community by providing facilities for youth teams who use their excellent facilities free of charge and by developing youth football with these clubs so that the kids in the area have a focus and team to be proud of, Lugar were first with these ideas although other local teams are now following.
They are currently developing two under ten teams and are actively working with an under seventeen team, the under tens are very successful and haven't lost a game this year and the under seventeens are now training with Lugar first team for experience, the three teams are independant but the club is working very hard helping with their development. The 17's enjoy training with the first team and have been accepted and taken under the wings of some seasoned players and ex professionals.
Games are played on a Saturday afternoon to a gate which ranges between 50 and 200 people, the food and drinks prices beggar belief as you will be asked for £1 for a pie or a roll and sausage and 50p for a tea, entry to the park is £2.50 adult £1.50 Concession and Children free (£1.50 Cup Tie).
Lugar's playing surface is second to none at this level due to the dilligence of the ground person , the changing facilities are good and and the small committee keeps their head above water financially.
Football wise this level of the sport is a very entertaining spectacle with competative close games which are very physical in nature, there are no primadonas, no one on big money and practically no diving, just good honest surprisingly tallented football in its rawest form, this is football as it was intended, football for everyone, football that you can afford to go to with a family, enjoy and be thrilled.
The team's nickname is the Jaggy Bunnets in reference to their "12th man", the midges (Very small Flying insect which swarm in millions, around your head and plague the area due to the lush wooded setting which contains the park).
Take your family to see Junior/Non League football this weekend instead of watching the big boys, there's never any trouble, its much much more value for money and you will get so much more out of it than watching sanitised football on tv.
I will be there every saturday enjoying the special atmosphere, supporting this great club, kicking every ball and hoping that this year they will gain that elusive promotion.
Body Fortress Whey Protein.
The Nutritional Info per Scoop -
Protein/ 17.6g
Carbohydrate/ 1.7g
of which sugars/ 1.2g
Fat/ 1.9g
of which saturates/ 0.7g
Fibre/ 0.008g
Sodium/ 0.04g
Now the actual product. Anyone interested in weight training will testify that you need to suppliment your diet with good quality protein, supplements are great when taken in the right way but should only be seen as a boost to an already protein high diet which includes plenty of white meat, as a rule I try to eat 1 gram of protein for every pound of my weight each day. Protein powders are also a convenient way of getting extra protein when at work etc....
In a nutshell heavy weight training damages muscle fibres which then need to heal, they heal slightly stronger than before, this is how muscle size increases over time, protein feeds the muscles so the more you eat the more you grow and the less sore you feel.
There are many protein powders out there Body fortress being one of the cheapest, many have higher protein content and added supplements which are claimed to give massive gains but protein is the essential nutrient to build muscle therefore why spend £50 buying some big name products which, in my experience really don't make much difference.
Body fortress protein comes from Holland and Barrett in 908 gram tubs at £24.99 but is often on sale at £12.49, the product is easily mixed in 24 gram scoops using a shaker, the chocolate and strawberry flavours are delicious and just like drinking a milkshake. One tub usually lasts me around 10 days so I usually buy 3 a month, this is where the savings come in as I can get more good whey protein for less money.
If you are interested in weight training buy this stuff because it does the job as well as any other brand and you will save yourself a fortune over time. It doesn't lie heavy on the stomach and causes me no problems, infact I think it's delicious.
Epson SX515W, is this a great printer?
Spec: Wireless Enabled: Yes
Print resolution: 5760x1440 dpi
Print speed - black: 36 Print speed - colour: 36 Print speed - photo: 10x15 in 20 seconds
Preview screen
Direct printing: Media Card
All very well, competent specification, looks good, quiet but I replaced my PC in January and thought I'd buy a nice new printer to replace my Dell all in one 942, this was a great machine which never once gave me any problems, I had to change due to the dell machine not being compatible with windows 7 so I looked around and settled for the epson.
Coming with a basic photo suite, wireless enabled and with the numbers looking good I felt confident that this was a better Printer, Initially everything worked fine, the scanner/copier worked fast, it was installed easily using the wizards, the print quality was excellent. I could get 4 genuine inks for £36.99 from epson which is considerably cheaper than genuine dell ink, compatible for the epson can be bought online for around £10 from-
Dell compatible ink is much more difficult to find and I never tracked it down.
This is where the problems began, I was happily using compatible ink (have done with many printers with no problems) therefore invalidated the guarantee.
After about 2 months use the printer became infuriating when attempting to load paper and consistently jammed, worst of all there is a small foam insert which runs below the cartridges, this started dislodging itself everytime I tried to print something replacement of which resulted in very inky hands. The paper out tray came off in my hand too.
Sometimes for no reason the thing just refused to print and had to be unplugged and re started before it would move.
In my opinion the build quality is inferior to my trusty old Dell printer and it is a poorly made device, I am competent with computers and have never had a worse piece of kit.
Sadly it now has a hole in the casing as one night after 2 hours of trying to print one sheet I punched it ending all hope of trying to argue the guarantee issue.
Conclusion: I will be buying a new Windows 7 compatible dell this weekend.
Sony Ericsson C510i
I am coming to the end of my 18 month contract with this phone now and am i a position to offer my opinion having used it constantly.
First the spec Batt: 4hrs talk 350 hrs standby
Internal Memory: 100mb upto 8gb external
Camera: 3.2 mp with face detection, smile shutter, photo DJ
The rest of the specifications can be found at :
As I dont want to just produce a list and would rather talk about how it rates as a phone.
This is a small thin plain candybar phone with a reasonably large screen for limited internet and games, the software runs at a good enough speed but it takes around 90 seconds to be usable at start up.
Sound wise the Microphone is high quality and can be set louder than any other phone I have owned, the speaker is also of a high standard.
Screen display is sharp and the menus are very easy to get around having been designed with lots of common sense, this is very easy to get to grips with.
This is a decent phone if you just need a phone but there are some issues, The antenna is not as powerful as the w910i which my wife owns and consistently has 2 bars stronger signal, occasionally when I receive a text the screen display splits into 2 or goes upside down which needs a restart to repair and the thing freezes at least once a month.
Build quality may be another problem, the silver detailling round the central navigation button has worn and is now a browny colour, the charge port is delicate and it can become tiresome plugging it in and un plugging it to try and get a connection and the memory card needs removed and replaced now and again as the connections for it seem to have deteriorated.
The phone comes with the usual accessories like earphones and has facebook pre loaded. The internet runs fast and it can deal with more than one application open.
All in I like the easy navigation the phone functionality the decent camera and the small convenient size but there are more negatives than I would have expected, thats why I am giving it 2 stars.
Saturday morning, cloudy but dry, time to spare, family day out?
We decided to go to Largs, even saw it advertised on STV (ITV in Scotland) it looked nice.
Driving from the south on the A78 we enjoyed the scenery and splendid views of the Irish Sea, the sillhouettes of the islands rising up from the water, Seamill is a beautiful village we passed and the Seamill Hydro is an impressive looking hotel, entering largs itself we enjoyed the nice expensive looking homes and tidy colourful gardens and thought that we'd made a good choice. Kelburn Country Centre has a good reputation and my 9 year old said he enjoyed it on a school trip.
We entered the town centre which was extremely busy with slow traffic and started looking for a parking space, It took us an hour and a half to find one as there is a distinct lack of car parks.
Once parked and the car (and me) had cooled down we ventured into the town, immediately noticing the complete lack of shops, we found a Mc Kays clothes shop (now M&Co) and ....actually thats the only recognisable name we found, personnally I detest clone towns so this might have been a good thing but for the fact that we couldn't find any independent shops either.
Everything seemed to be a restaurant or ice cream parlour but you'd need a bank loan as prices were at a premium.
Aesthetically the place oozes charm and the views are nice but it wasn't for us, it looks like a nice seaside resort but we found absolutely nothing that we wanted to do, If you have a bus pass have a look but we wont be back.
As a gym regular I look forward to my workouts and enjoy them very much.
I sustained an arm injury and against doctors instructions kept training which resulted in a bad case of tendonitis, I stopped training for a month and started on a program from the physio but the problem just seemed to be getting worse to the extent that I couldn't lift anything with my left arm without pain.
Then at christmas my wife bought me a powerball, she saw it advertised on some shopping channel and went to argos and bought one with a digital counter which runs at 250 mhz, it cost £16.99.
My first impression was that it was another exercise gimic, my wife kind of thought the same but felt it was worth a try.
Starting it was initially problematic so I resorted to doing something totally against the grain, I watched the supplied dvd and looked at their website and read instructions.
Starting the gyroscope mechanisim is like learning to ride a bike, once you do it you can do it every time but its difficult to begin with, it rotates by winding and unwinding a rip cord but I now can start it with my thumb using a technique from the website mentioned above.
This thing is such a cool colour and is a perfect weight, I felt like a kid in a toy shop, when it starts you control the force by moving your wrist, if you really go for it you really feel a kick from the giroscope and it can be difficult to hold, its a quite phenomenal feeling, i reakon that if you had it up at say 10000 rpm and let go that it'd take your ceiling down.
The trick now is to decide if you want to exercise for fitness or for rehabilitation, by manipulating your hold, arm position and grip you can work different areas of your arms chest and shoulders, I went straight for the exercises demonstrated on the dvd and web site specifically for tendonitis in the area I had it.
After 4 weeks of use 4 times a day I was completely healed and back training, my grip was also much more powerful.
Powerball is also great for passing time or exercising conveniently when watching tv etc.... there s a part of of the website where you can keep track of rpm records (16742 rpm) and endurance records (24 hours straight), I'd never get close to the 24 hours but at the time of writing have managed 14351 rpm. this thing is totally addictive.
Structurally it is very well made and seems unbreakable however there seems to be an issue with excess noise due to internal wear and there is a procedure detailed online which explaines how to open it and clean it out, personally I have had no problems, It also wont work if it gets dropped in water.
Mine is a 250 mhz version but there is a 350 mhz one now available, I am happy with mine and will only buy another when it breaks, the mhz rating is the power rating of the giro or kick factor if you like. I recommend buying one with a counter as part of the fun is in beating your personal bests.
It healed my injury and its now addictive fun.
Navman Spirit 300t Satnav System.
I have previously reviewed my RAC 200 system which i used for a couple of years and was quite happy with, sadly the mapping was becoming increasingly outdated, I researched the options ie updating the maps but noticed that they were more expensive than a replacement unit so I purchased a new one.
I dont usually quote opperating system speeds etc as you can find all this out from the manufacturers websites, I try to give some impression as to its usefulness as an every day tool.
This satnav is very good, there is a simple yet intuitive interface with big touchscreen buttons which offer shortcuts to petrol stations, cash machines and tourist info. You can explore any area with anything of interest popping up in the easy to read map page.
Programming addresses is simple with no need to look at the instruction booklet first, the voices are very clear and the directions very understandable. Advanced lane recognition is helpful, When I bought mine the advanced lane recognition did not seem to work so I called the support number (normal landline) and was put through (almost immediately) to a uk support assistant who talked me through activating it, There's not many companies in the satnav industry you can say this about.
The unit comes with traffic assistance for life which is handy and is received using the charge lead which contains an fm antenna, this makes it quite rigid and difficult to place over the dash but its a small gripe.
Pc Connectivity is a huge plus and it kicks the butt of its competitors here with a free advanced software suite where you can put pictures to your places of interest and search and edit new ones via flickr, online support is easy to use and there are lots of features available including customising menus and finding useful information, downloading your trip info and calculating journey costs.
The unit is compatible with google maps too so you can really get stuck into adding places you would like to visit.
For £99 you wont find a better satnav and the map updates come in at £30, with a 2 year total refresh pack which includes safety camera and map updates at £70.
Eden Camp, Malton, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, Y017 6RT, We were on holiday at Flamingoland and needed a change of pace, a relaxing non white knuckle day so decided to have a look at Eden Camp which is at most 3 miles away.
Arriving with no concept of the museum or any inclination of what to expect we had an open mind but quietly expected a small low budget tacky museum with a few interesting features and decided it might be a relaxing hour.
On arrival the imediate impression was that we were wrong as the place featured a collection of world war 2 vehicles, tanks and two spitfires which our children were very interested in.
Entry is £5.50 per adult and £4.50 Child/Concession, is payable via car on entry, parking is generous and free.
The Informative map provided on entry explained where to start so we set off around the place in the well laid out and easily accessible for anyone route round the museum, there are 29 huts each with a different military subject and literally thousands of war time artefacts and newspapers to read, sounds and smells were pumped into many of the huts which brought the displays to life, the whole thing is quite stunning and our children left with more knowledge of our military history than they would get from 3 years of school, best of all they thoroughly enjoyed it, even our 9 year old.
The gift shop was much like any museum gift shop but everything was cheap and the provisions hut (Canteen) was very reasonable offering a good choice of foods to choose from.
This is a superb museum which chronicles our wartime history from ww1 to present day, it mainly features ww2 but the information and knowledge avaliable here should make it a must for everyone whether they are young or old, its clean, the staff are friendly and it took us 4 hours to complete the tour.
A surprisingly wonderful day out and we will be going again.
Visions Leisure Centre, Auchinleck Road, Cumnock.
Cumnock used to have a fantastic big open air swimming pool which was closed in the early 90's leaving the town with practically no facilities. A local committee was formed in 1996 to raise money to build a state of the art complex for the area which was finally opened in 2004. The following is my review of the facility.
PRICES: Adult swim £2.90 Junior/Unemployed/Concession £2.10
Steam/Sauna/Spa £5.25
Gym £4.75 Aerobics £3.30
Swim Spectator £1.05 Junior/Concession £0.55
Anual Gold (everything) £378 or £31.50 Month
Couple $703.80 or £58.65 Month
Pool only £315 or £26.25 Month
Concession £288.60 or £24.05 Month
OPENING TIMES: Mon/Thurs 7:30am till 10pm
Tues/Wed/Fri 12pm till 10pm
Sat/Sun 9am till 5pm
Last admission is 1 hour before closing.
POOL: The complex has a well lit and nicely appointed 25 metre swimming pool which is usually not overly busy, admittedly its a small pool but the aesthetics of the pool room are pleasing and the water is always warm, things are not too strict with regard to floats and diving masks but the area is well stewarded and is not plagued with idiots.
SANUA/STEAM/SPA: The Sauna holds around 10 people and is reliably warm with good steam production, very relaxing and well finished, the steam room is again set up for ten people, it takes a bit of getting used
to the humid atmosphere and the steam jet is usually infused with menthol crystals which really clear the airways, The spa holds six comfortably and gives a nice relaxing bubble massage however the temperature is never the same twice and can be either too hot or too cold. The changing/shower area is nicely tiled and well laid out, the area is very clean and always has someone washing something.
GYM: This is my own area of interest and is an excellent multipurpose gym suitable for fitness fans and weight lifters, please note it is not a "bodybuilding" gym even though we have tried to encourage this and does not really cater for genuine powerlifting so there are no steroid users and no grunting during lifts. Anerobically we make do with a free weight Smith Machine which can go to 150 kilos and is ample for working any body part, we have dumbells which max out at 25 kilos, we have asked for an increase to 50 kilos and this is in the pipeline, they have good leg press and leg extension/curl machines along with all the other machines that beginners use ie. pec deck, chest press, shoulder press. The abcoaster provides a great abdominal workout and they have a punching bag for a good cardio finish. Aerobically every machine under the sun is available from treadmills to cross trainers to rowing machines and bikes all of which provide a small television and full read out of pulse and calories burnt etc.... Every piece of equipment is of a high quality and the gym is perfectly laid out. The gym users are friendly as are the instructors who are trained to a high standard and offer personal programs and advice to anyone who asks.
IN GENERAL: Additional facilities include an automated back massage table and a spray tan booth. The complex has been warmly welcomed by the local community and it is well used but never too busy, price wise it is about average against places with similar facilities and has what I can only describe as a family atmosphere about it. If you feel like joining but are put off by the thought of walking into a gym for the first time don't because you'll be welcomed.
Newton Hall Holiday Centre, Staining near Blackpool, Cheap and Good Value.
Static caravan holidays can be wonderful times but the prices can be quite steep at some places, first of all my reviews do not cover prices as you are quite capable of researching these online, what I am trying to do is to tell you whether to bother on not.
Newton Hall is a not so well known park which is situated in the village of Staining around 3 miles from Blackpool, its near Marton Mere Holiday Park, a 10 minute drive from Stanley Park and has a regular bus service to all areas,. Staining itself has previously won heats in Britain in Bloom and is a lovely rural village with plenty of walks between high hedgerows which provide a change of pace for tired holiday makers, there are a few takeaways and cafes around the village, the best of which being the Furamar Cantonese takeaway on Normoss Road (leave park turn left and its facing you at the end of the road), the food is excellent there. The site fish and chip shop is very basic and only open for short periods (info by tannoy) but provides a hearty meal of reasonable quality.
The site boasts an amusement arcade which supplies lots of fun for small kids on the plenty 1 and 2 pence machines, older kids may be disappointed though as the video games machines are 80's and 90's throwbacks. There is a small bingo hall attached.
Onsite there is a swimming pool which is on the small side, basic and slightly colder than would be ideal but it is free and never seemed to be too busy, Gruntys Fun Factory is next door to the pool and although not free and a private venture discounts site residents heavily. Gruntys is a medium sized indoor play centre on 2 levels which is worth a visit with the kids. The playpark on the site is very basic and quite disappointing since it was removed and rebuilt elswhere to add more room for caravans. On the plus side there is a top notch indoor/outdoor and crown green bowling facility which is part of the site and so i'm told a fantastic attraction for bowlers. The park provides free course fishing onsite in a small pond which is in a nice setting and provides some good sport (Scots remember your fishing licence from post office).
At night the well appointed Country Club provides nice surroundings, reasonably priced drinks and entertainment in high season, don't think haven club though as it services the village too and is just a nice large pub.
The caravans are well appointed and as good as any site in the uk and the site surroundings are fantastic with a view of the Tower and there is a friendly atmosphere to the place, its not a site where you will be woken at night by any partying either, The site has security patrols a laundrette and a hairdresser too.
Ok its not Haven or Hoseasons but it is more than adequate, why do you hire a caravan 3 miles from Blackpool ? The positives here more than add up for its shortcomings, its at least £200 cheaper than anything else locally its as near Blackpool too which is where you'll be other than bed time, and that adds up to an extra day at the Pleasure Beach and the Tower.

Inverting The Pyramid.
Football, the beautiful game, how did it get from the universities and colleges in the eighteen hundreds where it was played as an unrecognisable scrum to the tactical masterpiece it has become.
The book is written by Jonathan Wilson the much respected sports writer and columnist, it documents footballs history in chronological order from the rugby scrum when players surrounded a piece of leather resembling a ball to the 2-3-5 formation used by England when Scotland were playing the passing game to the WM and 4-2-4, 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, 5-3-2 thus the Pyramid became inverted from 2-3-5 to 5-3-2.
We are taken on a journey through time and cultures the world over looking at how each country developed their own ethos and style from the Italian pressing game, the Brazillian samba to the Dutch total football style of the 70's.
Old style positions are analysed and their evolution is described in detail, you will be given a better understanding of the theory of the game and the complex marking philosophies that became the norm, older readers will revel at the mention of old style centre halfs or halfbacks or wing halfs etc....
England and many other nations have their world cup campaigns analysed and deconstructed to see either what went right or what went wrong, the impact of the development of the modern offside rule is described in detail. There are formation, team, tactic and system sketches to display the points being made. Legendary managers are biographied and their histories, styles and mannerisms are scrutinised in detail.
Football went from a sport with 5 strikers to 4 to 3 to 2, now we are regularly seeing teams use just one, the next logical step it seems is to remove the position altogether (in the traditional sense anyway) and play 4-6-0 as we are now witnessing with attacking midfielders playing deeper and swapping with their team mates to confuse defences.
This book is an easy read for anyone with an interest in football, it is informative and panders to the romance of the game, it will give you a huge amount of historical knowledge. I have read many football tactical manuals and been on coaching courses but I think I learned more about the game from this book. An invaluable resource for the fan or coach and probably the best football book you can buy, it will have you bursting with enthusiasm for the game.
Teamer is a website that was passed to me through word of mouth, I've never once seen it advertised and I honestly think that it is a very useful and time saving tool for anyone involved in team sports managment or coaching.
This will be a simple review as it is a simple concept of very handy proportions however the review will admittedly only be useful for people in team coaching.
As a youth football manager with 2 teams I frequently have to telephone/text my players/players parents to tell them if the plans arranged at training for the next game have been altered or the game called off due to the great Brittish weather, this can be a time consuming exercise as it involves 12 calls for the 7 a side team or 16 calls for the 11 a side team.
What teamer does is streamline the process, once you set up the account, get permission from the players parents to supply their mobile number and e mail address to the website teamer e mails and texts them with their password, their username being their phone number, they then register and you're up and running. The set up and registration is a very simple easy exercise and we encountered no problems.
I can now log on to WWW.TEAMER.NET and issue instructions by text and/or e mail to everyone in my teams who can simply reply to the text or e mail with Y or N in the instance of it being availability for a game, a clever feature I like is if I have say 3 reserve players I can rank them in order so that the site can ask them in the same order in the event of any N replies.
One line of text typed on my computer and everyone knows whats going on, I can log in later and see my team or check that everyone has the required info, this is a failsafe as it reliably informs me of anyone who has not replied so I can call them, in my experience everyone usually replies.
The site provides a secure private blog, a list function for upcoming games or events and a photo gallery for members to share pictures with one another.
So lots of time saved making calls, team better organised and everyone informed quickly and easily. How much does this cost ?
Unbelievably its totally free, I believe replies are at network rates though, it doesn't get any better than that.
Scarborough, olde english seaside resort, stunning architectural elegance and picturesque views situated in a glorious location with two bays of quite unbelievable contrast.
Having spent quite a few weeks in the place over the years I have never tired of the spectacular coastline and golden sand encased in a clear blue horizon.
There are many interesting things for the holiday maker to do here from visiting Peasholm Park in North bay and taking in the miniature naval battle, the park is a gem of a place with pedolos aplenty and stunning ornamental gardens, Atlantis water park is nearby, a huge outdoor swimming pool with large flumes to rival similar attractions in europe and Kinderland, a huge adventure playground for young children. There is a steam train herritage here with the Scarborough Flyer Line to the small locomotive that chuffs its way around north bay.
Over on south bay we find more traditional seaside fayre with the usual wares from shops selling gifts and trinkets to the local caught fresh seafood offered in excellent restaurants and takeaways (Try the shark steaks), to the arcades and bingo halls. The beach is popular and can be very busy offering great views of the majestic Grand Hotel and Cliffs. Unlike the quiet north bay which offers blissful solitude between the beach huts.
The town centre is a bustling busy place full of the usual shops you'd find anywhere, the cloned restaurant and fastfood chains etc... It just somehow feels better being there than anywhere else.
Looking around in any direction you will be presented by fantastic sights and great examples of extravagant victorian architecture, this place looks like nowhere else and is the better for it.
Parking is adequate, it is serviced with a reasonable road network, the prices in the shops, eateries and hotels etc.... are on a par with everywhere else.
Being quite hilly is the main reason people are put off visiting but there are Tram Lifts for these priced at 50p so you never need to walk up any hills, only down.
The piste de resistance is 3 miles south on the filey/bridlington road, two quite beautiful towns in their own right, a beach called Cayton Bay, an isolated horseshoe bay of white fine sand with no pebbles, shells, seaweed or people except the odd surfer making the most of the unusual wave formations this bay creates, distant views of flamborough head cliffs then the horizon.
Visit Scarborough, it echoes Blackpool in tradition but eclipses it with its cleanliness and beauty, a much more tranquil place too with no one in a rush, Blackpool is a bit like Scarborough Fuelled on adrenalin.
M and D's, Scotlands Theme Park, Scotland must be really small.
Nestled just off the M74 in the lush green Strathclyde Park is M and D's, serviced with an excellent road and bus service with ample parking this park has a high opinion of itself.
Price wise its £14 for over 1.35 Metres, £10 for under 1.35 Metres and £42 for a Family of 4, you may enter free without a wristband but once inside there are a few rides with extra payment required ie. Bomber and Bungee, the best white knucklers in the place. It stays open quite late compared to say Loudoun Castle and you can stay from 11am till 7pm.
Roller coaster wise the tornado is a looping coaster, no scare factor here and is quite mild although fairly enjoyable, Tsunami, is a loop inversion coaster, anyone familiar with kumali or infusion will class this as a toy, much shorter and slower but for an unseasoned theme park visitor should provide a few thrills. The Express is listed as a coaster but is probably on a slightly larger scale than a childrens caterpillar ride.
The park is quite compact and well laid out with fairground rides aplenty including chairaplanes, a flying boat, very small log flume, water chute and quite a few kiddy roundabouts. The big wheel or medium wheel provides some nice views.
One problem I noted regarding height restrictions would be that my average heighted 8 year old had to be accompainied on most of the childrens rides and was nowhere near big enough for anything good, He is allowed on most of the biggies at Blackpool and Flamingoland and there he was not allowed on the flying jumbos by himself, these restrictions are fervently enforced. Anyone with 3 or more small children or a youth group would need a 1:1 ratio of adult to child to get on anything together. The height checkers also need to be checked as they seem to be erring on the side of caution.
M and D's have captured the spirit of a theme park with their music playing from many outlets, the candyfloss, popcorn stalls wafting sweet smells and the background noise from the arcade at the entrance, it is clean and the layout is of interest and the entry price for me quite reasonable but additional costs of some rides and for Amazonia an indoor rainforest which is quite attention holding seem excessive also the price they charge for food although this seems the norm everyhere.
We took a packed lunch which we left in the car till lunch time then we went out, found a nice picnic table across the road in Strathclyde Park and enjoyed our food quietly surrounded by trees, with the large lake as our backdrop.
Should you go ?
Not for Thrill Ride Fans, could be much bigger and it needs a marquee ride but if you have a young taller than average family you may just have a great day if you do.

Thank you for your question today, I look forward to assisting you. I bring nearly 20 years of legal experience in various disciplines.
It isn't a felony, as in criminal law, but it is a civil law violation of the unfair business practices and improper use of proprietary information.
So, it's a situation where she (and you, if you assist) can be sued in civil court for these practices and fined.
