Hi Dale,
These Daniels like that Abraham in your last series of emailings keep
popping up:
However the only Daniel I have is my 2 G Great Grandpa the one you referred
to from Mississippi who married his second cousin Nancy Worthy.
This Abraham seems to be the one that we keep finding. If we ever find a
Reddick that matches our Reddochs he will probably be a descendant of
Abraham and Hannah.
"William Reddox and Abraham Reddix are among those listed as soldiers of
"The Line" in the Appendix of "Story of GA and the People of GA", p 625.
"It is possible that some of the earlier Georgia Reddochs (ick,ock) came
from North Carolina before the Revolution. Some probably returned to North
Carolina when the War began for safety as well as to fight with the
Colonists. One such was Abraham, with his wife, Hannah and a daughter, he
received a grant for 100 ac in 1773 on the upper side of the Broad River
near the mouth. Following the Revolution Abraham received several grants in
Greene, Wilkes and Washington counties Georgia. He died in 1853 in Jasper
Co, Georgia at 94 years of age. His birth date was ca 1759. Although there
is no evidence of direct relation to William, it is likely that they were
related-possibly brothers or cousins. They lived near each other in Wilkes,
Washington and Hancock Counties. (1)" From "Reddoch Relatives" Introduction.

Hi Folks,
Well, Daniel Reddick (if in Putnam County) was very close by where
Abraham Reddick had settled in 1788 in what was then Greene County.
Abraham and his family ended up in the newly created Hancock County soon
thereafter. Both Greene and Hancock abutt against Putnam County. So,
this Daniel Reddick might be part of that family.
However, the family of William and Mary Rose Reddoch also lived in the
same area. And I recall that there was a Daniel Reddoch - however, he
married Nancy Worthy circa 1850. This is according to the book by Dr.
Joseph W. Reddoch.
Then, too - there was Captain Daniel Reddock (Reddoch) of Camden County,
GA. and who also appeared in the 1850 census of Savannah, Georgia. He
appears to have been a ship's captain in coastal Georgia waters.
There are Reddicks buried in cemeteries in and about Eatonton, the
county seat of Putnam County, Georgia.

Love It or Hate It? Britney Spears' New Ad for 'Fantasy Twist'
No, no, no! 'Fantasy Twist' is Britney's newest fragrance!
-PJ Gach
So, Bettys: What do you think of the new ad for Britney's newest fragrance, Fantasy Twist? Looking at the ad, you kind of figure that she had a blast playing dress-up for it. It was shot by Ellen von Unwerth. Makeup artist Billy B. gave Britney her vintage appeal.
Blond Britney looks a bit like a Vegas showgirl or a silent screen actress. As a brunette, doesn't Britney look a little bit like Elizabeth Taylor? Hmmm, think about it–okay, you're gonna have to turn your computer upside down or tilt your head, but she does look like La Liz! Wonder if they should have picked her to play Elizabeth in that biopic instead of Lindsay Lohan?
Read 24 Pretty Powerful Pink Beauty Products That Support BCA!
I digress. Do you think this ad is enticing or just plain ol' weird? Fantasy Twist is actually a combo of Britney's fragrances: Fantasy Britney Spears™ and Midnight Fantasy Britney Spears™. Much like the ad, the bottle is actually two interlocking ones–yes, it's two, two, two fragrances in one! Couldn't resist!
"With Britney Spears™ Fantasy Twist, I wanted to combine two of my favorite fragrances into a sophisticated bottle, giving my fans the power to choose the scent they desire at any given moment," said Britney in a press release. (Ed note: Um, yah).
If this ad impels you to run out and buy it, it's available exclusively at Kohl's stores nationwide.
Does it? Does the ad make you go, "Oooh!" or does it make you go, "Oh Britney! Why! Why!"

New Hampshire designated the white-tailed deer as state animal in 1983. An animal of incredible beauty and power, white-tailed deer are able to run up to 40 miles per hour, jump 9 foot fences, and swim 13 miles per hour. The white underside of the deer's tail waves when running and is flashed as a warning when danger is sensed. Both native Americans and settlers relied on the white-tailed deer for buckskin and food.
White-tailed deer are tan to reddish-brown during the summer and a grayish-brown in winter months. The tail is brown with a dark center stripe above and white below. This species got its common name from showing the white underside of its tail as a warning of danger to other individuals. The belly, throat, noseband, eye ring, and inside of ears are also white. Bucks (males) have antlers while does (females) do not (with rare exceptions). Antlers have a main beam forward with several smaller tines behind. White-tailed deer vary in size considerably, with mature bucks weighing 150-310 pounds and does between 90-210 pounds.
There are an estimated 30 million white-tailed deer, including subspecies, currently distributed throughout the continental US. The only location they are not commonly found in the US is in Utah, Nevada and California. They can also be found as far north as southern Canada and as far south as Mexico and northern portions of South America. They are extremely adaptable to a variety of habitats and have been introduced to a few northern European countries, including Finland.
In New Hampshire, the white-tailed deer population is approximately 85,000 individuals. The areas of greatest densities are in the southern counties (Cheshire, Hillsborough, Rockingham and Belknap) and the far north (Coos County). In conjunction with or as part of the N.H. Wildlife Action Plan, the NH Fish and Game Department revised the 10-year management plan for white-tailed deer, moose, turkey and black bear. This document, called the Big Game Plan, aims to increase the deer population in many areas of the state while stabilizing or reducing it in others.
White-tailed deer can live in a variety of habitats, including farmlands, brushy areas, woods, mountains, and suburbs and gardens. They feed on green plants, including aquatic species in the summer, acorns, beechnuts, and corn in the fall, and woody vegetation, including buds and twigs of birch, maple and conifers in the winter. White-tailed deer will typically consume 5 to 9 pounds of food each day and find water from snow, dew and waterbodies.
Individual deer group into two types of social combinations. These include the family group, with a doe and her young, and the buck group. The family group will stay together for approximately a year. Buck groups are structured with a dominance hierarchy of 3 to 5 individuals. Bucks will challenge each other with stares, lowered ears, kicking, sparring (physically pushing each other back), and less commonly, thrashing of forefeet.
During the winter, these two deer groups may come together, forming communities of up to 150 individuals in locations called "yards." This unification keeps trails open and accessible for feeding and also provides protection from predators. However, there have been problems with humans providing supplementary feed sites for deer in the winter. These sites can cause unnaturally high densities of congregated deer that attract predators, increase the risk of disease transmission, increase aggression within the community, and lead to over-browsing of local vegetation and more deer-vehicle collisions. They cause deer to be more dependent on humans and artificial food sources that provide few benefits.
NH Fish and Game does not advocate the supplemental feeding of deer, will not participate in winter feeding efforts, and urges landowners not to feed deer.
Click here for a brochure about this, entitled "More Harm than Good."
Mating season varies within the species range. Northern individuals breed during mid-November, while southern species breed in January or February. Buck groups split up and several bucks follow a doe's scent from a distance of 150 feet. The dominant buck may compete with others and mate with several does. After mating season, does return to subgroups until early spring. Females have a gestation time of 6.5 months. In their first year of mating, does produce one fawn. After this initial year, they commonly produce twins or triplets annually. Fawns stay with their mother until right before the next year's birth.
White-tailed deer are able to swim, run and jump extremely well. Winter coats of northern deer have hollow hair shafts that fill with air. This makes the coat so buoyant that it is hard for an animal to sink if exhausted. White-tailed deer can run at speeds up to 36 mph, although they typically run to the nearest cover and never for long distances. A deer can also leap 8.5 feet vertically and 30 feet horizontally.
White-tailed deer shed their antlers annually, usually around February. A buck's first antlers may be solitary spikes, but in their third year, it is expected for them to have about 8 points. The size and structure of antlers differ greatly because of nutritional factors. Despite common belief, you cannot tell a deer's age by its antlers; the age of a deer is most commonly determined by observing the wear on its teeth.
Despite the species being greatly reduced in the US by the 1940s because of unregulated hunting and predator abundance, white-tailed deer numbers have increased significantly and populations are thriving. The Big Game Plan outlines goals and objectives for increasing white-tailed deer populations in some parts of New Hampshire based on both ecological and cultural carrying capacities. Biologists and managers look at the availability of suitable habitat for populations and how many individuals it can sustain. They also consider the tolerance level of white-tailed deer abundance for humans in an area. In New Hampshire, as well as many other states, hunting is used as a tool for management and provides recreation and lean meat to residents and visitors during the fall months.
Lyme disease is a concern in New Hampshire, as it is in much of New England. N.H. Fish and Game asks residents and visitors to take care to avoid ticks when out hiking in typical deer habitats, especially during spring and summer. Wearing long pants, a long-sleeved shirt and using insect repellent may help protect against both tick and mosquito bites. Also, watch for symptoms of Lyme disease, which can include headache, dizziness, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, joint pain, general weakness, and a bull's-eye red rash around the bite area. Click here for more information about avoiding Lyme disease.
Deer-vehicle collisions are also of concern. N.H. Fish and Game urges drivers to be alert for the presence of deer when driving, especially around dusk or dawn. Drive at low speeds with high beams on (whenever possible) while scanning the roadsides.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a brain disease that is fatal to deer and elk, continues to be a concern to deer hunters and managers in New Hampshire and New England. Annual monitoring efforts since 2002 have not detected CWD in any New England state. Prevention of CWD in New Hampshire remains a top priority.

UPI Senior Medical Correspondent
Washington (UPI) Nov 14, 2006
Congress passed an update to the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act and President Bush is expected to sign it into law, but animal rights activists say the new legislation will do little to inhibit their actions against pharmaceutical companies and other animal research firms and may even spur increased extremist activities.
The biomedical research industry was pushing for the bill because they wanted laws in place to thwart new tactics employed by activists, including harassing and intimidating individual researchers and companies that do businesses with animal research firms.
"Hopefully, this will give law enforcement the tools they need to address more quickly and swiftly that kind of campaign," Frankie Trull, president of Foundation for Biomedical Research, a group supported by industry, told United Press International.
In recent years, animal activists have begun targeting homes of individual researchers and executives of pharmaceutical companies, including threats to take further action if they do not cease their business with animal research firms, such as Huntingdon Life Sciences. Activists have also sent threatening letters to shareholders of pharmaceutical companies and waged a successful campaign to prevent Huntingdon from being listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
"Right now, a researcher who's under attack really has no where to go and this will help them get law enforcement attention," Trull added. "We're hoping this new law will help make the climate more friendly and those that seek to end all animal research will do so through legitimate means as opposed to this kind of intimidation and harassment."
Animal rights advocates, however, think the legislation may provoke the very kind of activities it intends to prevent.
"They could've taken a step that will create their worst nightmare," Camille Hankins, who represents Win Animal Rights, told UPI. "The thing they were afraid of was destruction, damage to labs and vandalism, but this could be the catalyst for a lot of that."
Hankins said the threat of penalties of up to 20 years or life in prison that the legislation carries may drive more people underground because there will be little incentive to remain "above ground" with one's identity revealed.
"Why be above ground, why not go below ground?" she said.
The legislation carries various penalties, ranging from a fine or 1 year imprisonment for violations that do not instill a sense of fear of bodily injury or death or economic damages less than $10,000 to more severe fines or prison terms for actions resulting in injury or larger economic loss. The stiffest penalty is life imprisonment for violations that result in the death of a person.
Hankins thought the pharmaceutical industry used its influence to get the legislation passed and noted that several large drug manufacturers were cited as members of the Animal Enterprise Protection Coalition, which was a list of groups established by National Association for Biomedical Research that supported the bill.
"I think this legislation was bought and paid for, by the pharmaceutical industry primarily," she said.
Pharmaceutical companies listed as members of the Coalition included Boehringer Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Roche and Wyeth. The Biotechnology Industry Organization was also on the list.
Hankins asserted that the legislation infringed upon rights of free speech and assembly granted by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
"It's overly broad, overly vague and restricts freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, so no doubt someone will have to be a test case that will go all the way up to the Supreme Court," she said.
However, Trull said the law specifically states that it does not restrict any rights protected by the First Amendment.
"Lawful boycotting, protesting and demonstrating is all protected," she said. The law is aimed more at preventing threats and intimidation of researchers and firms that conduct business with animal research enterprises, she added.
To make a charge stick, businesses will have to prove that the actions caused them financial damage.
"This is a very responsible piece of legislation, meaning everybody can't just prosecute for no reason," Trull said.
Dr. Jerry Vlasak, a trauma surgeon and spokesman for the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, told UPI he thought the bill would have little impact on animal rights activists.
"As far as the underground liberation movement, it won't have any impact at all because they don't really care about those laws," Vlasak said. "Their activities -- sabotaging, liberating animals -- are already illegal so just adding one more law won't make much difference."
The legislation's effect on the above ground movement would also be muted, Vlasak said. "I don't think it's going to make a huge difference in the above ground movement because they've (law enforcement) already gone after people who were conducting effective protest campaigns," he said.
The net effect on the above ground movement is that it could "make people more seriously consider going underground," he said.
Vlasak may be one example of an activist targeted by law enforcement authorities. His house along with the homes of five other animal rights activists in California were raided by the FBI and the Santa Monica Police Department October 31.
Thousands of dollars worth of items, including his computer, were seized, but Vlasak said he was never charged with a crime or informed of the reasons for the raid. His attorney has been trying to obtain a copy of the affidavit but so far the authorities have not complied.

Ripoff Report
Dr Ann Schrader Kelley1700 N Rose Ave #320 Oxnard Ca 93030 Oxnard, California USA
Dr Ann Schrader Kelley AKA Ventura Co. Hematology Oncology Specialists Horrible Patient Care Oxnard California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Dr Ann Schrader Kelley is the worse Doctor in all of Ventura County. I was seen by her in June 2013. She had no treatment plan and when I decieded to find someone else she started calling me and telling me treatment plan. She kept on giving me test after test yet my cancer was in a state that it could spread. She informed me that I should and will be contacted by the Cancer Center yet I did not give her any authorzation to do that. She sent me a Federal Express letter and it made no sense at all. Do not go to this Medical Group, they could kill you with there unknown practices. I realize that your insurance will only cover them, but find out another group.
This Doctor should not be practicing Medicine, she has a delayed though pattern that my friend and I saw. She did not know what to do with me, in her practice yet she kept giving me test after test. She never ordered a complete blood panel and her physican assistant is rude.
I had so much pain in my left arm and she never helped me with that, she did not file the RX with the pharmacy correctly and went I went to pick it up they never received the e mail from Dr. Kelley. Cancer is a life threating and life changing diagnoise and you must act fast with a good team and this Doctor does not have that type of working in her practice, she has 3 offices and also runs the Cancer Center of Ventura, yet when you confront her she makes up stories. In the letter she sent me Federal Express her words made no sense at all. The test that was done was already in my hands going to my new doctor.
It is like she dangles a carrot over your head and all that she is interested in is money, and how many test the insurance company will pay for. She is dangerous in her so called patience care as she informed me that I would need Chemo 5 days a week, yet in her letter it stated Radiology and that is an In correct statement.
Again, do not go this Doctor or Medical Group she doesn't know what she is doing and her office does not either.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
friendly staff, modern design of rooms, free parking and free use of wifi. Good to provide electronic kettle with plastic cups and coffee and tea. it's more like a overpriced B&B. The outlook of the hotel is more like a warehouse. The room is extremely small despites its out-of-the-way location. Stain marks on bath curtain and bedsheet. Noise from the main road.
Close to motorway Restaraunt was very bad service and food not a good standard
Poor food selection,and impoliteness of staff. I have stayed at Campanile hotels before and my stay was pleasant. That is why I chose to stay here again but I must say that my experience at this particular location was subpar.
Overall hotel was clean and fresh looking, rooms were very clean with good state of decor. Campanile Epone had no real Bad points Campanile Beauvais, however, was worst hotel experience i've had, dirty rooms, overall shoddy appearance
Very close to the motorway and the buffet was amazing!
it was quiet,and helps one to sleep if you need to without disturbance,but the room numbers should be written more boldly to avoid people knocking on another people's door. people missing their room number and waking me up
Breakfast was good, bed's are comfortable
Nice garden in front of the rooms and friendly staff. Good parking. Very old rooms, with little maintenance (paint falling out of windows frame, burned light bulb, walls with almost no sound insulation)
Room was clean. Free WiFi. Hotel was very dated and was in need of refurbishment. The room was very basic. The staff were not very friendly. I amended my booking the week before my visit, but the hotel had not been made aware of the changes.
the dinner was very tasty and fair priced, but the breakfast was under par
Unappealing building in an industrial area. One towel for two people. No shower curtain. Tv remote did not work even after getting new batteries. Barebone breakfast.
The willingmess of the staff The restaurant was not open on a Saturday night. The young man on duty kindly cooked us some dinner but as we booked this hotel specifically because it had a restaurant we weren't impressed!
The hotel staff were very polite and helpful. Everything was clean and comfortable (as much as this price range is typically) and the gardens were very beautiful. Although it was a Tuesday night I was surprised that the restaurant wasn't open and had made the hotel booking with the restaurant in mind. As a result of this, and the fact that it was already 9:30pm when we headed out to eat, we had to settle for take-away Pizza from a nearby town. I don't consider this circumstance to be the fault of the hotel as such but was nonetheless an inconvenience created by the restaurant being shut.
Not much actually Seemed a rough area, poor security, very stuffy room and restuarant closed all weekend plus no breakfast before 9.00am on Saturday.
friendly staff We arrived mid evening and the restaurant only had a "cold platter" available but the Campanile down the street had a marvellous salad buffet which we enjoyed Initially we were given key to a room that was not made up but this was quickly remedied .
Good parking, nice restaurant Difficult getting into town without bringing the car
Pleasant staff, clean, reasonable cost Very slippy bath, we both had a fall whilst showering. Locked out of hotel for 15 minutes when keycode failed to open door.
Name of the hotel is not accurate
Excellent hotel in beautiful quiet old town near Paris. Hotel is located in a park with a big lake on Seine bank and half of rooms have beautiful view of that park and lake. Room had good furniture/equipment. About 15 min away from railway station from which direct train takes you to Paris in 30 mins. I definitely recommend this place if you love nature and don't require to be right in Paris.
A bit remote, no restaurant within easy walking distance.Expensive for location.
We had a lovely stay. It started with a very warm welcome by the receptionist. Rooms were very cosy and quiet. We had a nice view on the park and as for the Breakfast, it included my prefered selection of pastries! Will definitely come back!
warm and friendly staff, good breakfast, rooms were very clean dark and somber, with very bad decor in hallways and rooms, bed and pillows terribly uncomfortable, bad smell in hallways, rooms were very cold, despite extra blankets and heater turned all the way up
Excellent value for money, staff very helpful and friendly, no parking charges. Difficult to locate, got the impression it was nearer to the motorway, but it was mostly our own fault as we had not done enough research on location as we had a borrowed sat. Nav, that did not work.
Its not what I didn't like it's just that there's nowhere else to write this down. I've answered yes to recommending hotel down below, however only for the right situation, which is either doing what we did or if somebody was touring the area by car, as the area is pretty but the view from the hotel is not
The twin room although small was very well designed, making the most of the space available. The staff were helpful. There is no view but this did not matter to us. There was hot water and working plumbing. The heater really did not warm the whole room although the extra blankets provided did the job.
Close to shops. Room was smart with tv and a good firm bed. Restaurant food and service was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful, English spoken. Would stay again. No tea/coffee maker in the room.

Girl Talk: A Shattering Thanksgiving
After two decades of service, the six-foot-high, 10-foot-wide mirror covering our living room wall started falling down on Thanksgiving Day. It came with the house, a colonial in Whitestone, Queens, which my parents bought when I was born. I was 23 and about to drive to LaGuardia Airport to pick up Tim, my soldier boyfriend of two years. He was spending the holiday with me after being stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia, for the past three months.
I was in my attic bedroom putting on my "Welcome Home" outfit — black stockings, boots, a checkered skirt, and a fitted black sweater — when I heard Mom scream. I took the steps two at a time to find her and my 18-year-old brother holding the mirror up, their four hands, strained faces, and bodies looking longer in their slanted reflections.
"I don't know what to do," I said. "I have to go to the airport!"
"Call Jay!" Mom said.
Jay was our neighbor who we phoned to do father-like duties. My dad died when I was 6 and, thus, missed out on tending to collapsing wall structures and other domestic disasters.
Jay rushed over with a hammer to break the mirror into pieces to keep it from shattering on its own. "I'm leaving," I said, swallowing my guilt. "Try to fix this before I get back."
Something usually happened on the holidays to cause my family equal parts guilt and distress, like the Easter my brother and I left our vomiting mother home so Grandma's manicotti wouldn't go to waste. But this Thanksgiving I wanted everything to run smoothly. I was nervous that my long-distance relationship with Tim was unraveling. Our phone conversations had boiled down to updates on the hours since we last chatted. In between long silences I'd learn what he ate that day and sometimes what he planned to eat later. I'd hoped seeing each other after this long stretch of time would help us regain what we'd lost.
It was raining just enough to fog my Honda Accord's windows on my 15-minute ride to LaGuardia. The airport was crowded with cars and police directing traffic. I was early, so I thought I'd wait in the parking lot. I crept toward a green light where an officer stood, motioning for cars to pass. When I approached, I thought he waved me forward. I tapped the gas and then – whack – I hit him.
"Hey! Pull over!" The middle-aged man staggered back, regained his balance, and barreled toward me.
"Oh my God, I just side-swiped a cop," I said to the pink rosary beads dangling from my rearview mirror.
"License and registration, now!"
"I'm so sorry," I said, rolling down the window. "I thought you told me to move forward …"
"Give me your license! Why are you in such a hurr … ?" He looked at me and scanned my body with his eyes, starting at my cleavage, and stopping at the skirt that had sneaked up my thighs.
"I'm very sorry." I handed him my identification. "I'm picking up my boyfriend. He's in the army," I said, thinking the "fighting for our country" bit would set me free.
The officer took my ID in his hand. He curled the right corner of his mouth into a half smile and brought his other hand to my window. He tapped his fingers. Pressing his big belly against my door, he leaned in for a closer look.
"So," he said, licking his cracked lips. "Your boyfriend's in the army? I bet you're going to have a lot of sex tonight."
I was silent. Looking around, I saw no one watching and realized how innocent this scene looked to passersby.
"I bet you send him naked pictures of yourself all the time," he said.
"No … "
"I know what kind of underwear you're wearing," he said, "a black lace bra with black lace panties. Am I right?"
I stared at my steering wheel, afraid to look in his direction. I was trapped inside a car I'd used to hit a cop. I let a tear fall.
"Come on. Show me the pictures you send him. I am imagining you having phone sex … wow."
He talked more about my underwear and what he would do to me if he were my boyfriend. I retorted only with a few "Umms."
He continued his verbal abuse until he was satisfied and handed back my license and registration.
"Happy Holidays, and drive safely!" he said, grinning as he waved me forward.
I inched toward the parking lot to wait for Tim. Questions clouded my mind: What just happened? Why didn't I stop it? How could I not even get his badge number? Did I think I deserved that for hitting him? Would Tim try to defend me?
My cell phone rang, interrupting my thoughts. It was Tim saying he was walking toward the lot.
As my boyfriend's big shoulders approached my window, I felt energized, eager to tell him the story, knowing he'd have to look after me. For the moment we'd be excited again, protective and protected.
He opened the door.
"Hey," he said, leaning in to kiss me.
"Hi," I smiled. "How was your trip?"
"I slept," he said.
"That's good."
"Yeah, I was tired," he said.
As I heard our flat sentences die in the air, I realized that, like the outfit I'd chosen, his rescuing me could only be a temporary fix for our defeated relationship. It wouldn't repair us, nor would it change what had just happened. Listening to him talk about his flight, I abandoned the idea of telling him and hugged my long coat around my body, wanting to hide the clothes that felt like they turned on me.
Back at my house, my family welcomed Tim, and I looked at the wall for my reflection out of habit. Instead, my eyes fell on a surface I'd never seen before, dirtied with glue and bits of paper from the back of the mirror. Staring down, I saw my image in the shards of glass on the floor, and I knew it would take some time to put things back together.

The syntax-check rule in 27/27 should cover this - it will complain if we introduce a 'int flags;' in any of the *protocol.x files, which should prod us to use 'unsigned int flags;' instead. Or are you referring to the fact that patch 27/27 only checked libvirt.h.in for additions of '...long flags', to ensure that no more than the existing 4 uses for migration are added? In that case, yeah, that rule can be enhanced to check include/libvirt/libvirt-qemu.h as well, to ensure that all new public APIs, whether for libvirt proper or for libvirt-qemu, use 'unsigned int flags'.

The problem occurs when I connect the CC to a brand new projector, an Acer H6510BD.
Please note that all tests are done with CC connected to a working wall socket.
Also, I've tested the CC on other HDMI monitors, and it works flawlessly and as expected.
Also, BOTH HDMI INPUTS on the Acer have been tested with a PC and work flawlessly.
My modem/router is a Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 and has multicast and UPnP enabled, and is in the room with the CC when hooked up to the projector (excellent signal).
I read this thread and did what triolight and susanoo26 suggested and GOT IT TO WORK, but ONLY ONCE, but after turning off the projector and/or unplugging the CC from the HDMI and plugging it back in, I can't get it to work again.
I followed a process like this using my android phone to set up the chromecast (without a display):
- CC set up with wifi, but BOTH HDMI AND USB UNPLUGGED
- Projector unplugged
- plug in projector
- plug in USB to CC until it holds white
- plug in CC to HDMI
- turn projector on
- Phone does NOT find CC on wifi through chromecast app
- unplug CC HDMI, refresh the app
- phone now shows CC as "ready to cast"
- plug back the HDMI into the same port, and it will display correctly
What I find really weird is that every time I plug or unplug the CC from any HDMI port, my phone's app refreshes automatically and re-finds the CC on the network.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'd like to watch world cup on the big screen tomorrow if possible!

Animal AdventuresLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Five young ladies (Liz, Marge, Sam, Ella and Jenny) went on five different hiking adventures. Each walked a distance of 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 kilometers (random order). Each were able to take an extraordinary wildlife photograph in different locations (forest, meadow, mountain, river side and bushes) of different animals (rabbit, bird, deer, fox and bear cubs). From the clues below determine where and of what each girl took a photograph of, and the distance each travelled.
1. Liz walked twice as far as the girl who saw the deer. The girl who got a shot of the fox travelled one kilometer less than Jenny. The girl in the bushes was not the one who walked 5 kilometers. The girl on the riverside walked either one kilometer more or less than the one who was in the bushes.
2. The girl who was quick enough to capture the rabbit on film walked farther than Marge, but not as far as the one who got the bear cubs. The girl who hiked up the mountain walked farther than at least one other girl, but not the farthest. Either Ella or Sam walked more than one kilometer farther than the other. Sam did not get a picture of the bird. The mountain climber walked either one kilometer more or less than Marge.
3. The meadow explorer was not the one to take a picture of the bird. The bear cubs and the fox were not captured in the forest. Ella hiked farther than the mountain climber. The girl in the meadow walked one kilometer more or less than the mountain climber.
4. The girl on the riverside walked two kilometers more than the one who saw the fox. The deer photographer did not hike as far as Ella, nor as far as the meadow explorer. At least one traveller walked farther than Jenny. The girl in the bushes walked either one kilometer more or less than the rabbit photographer.
HintSet up a grid so you can determine from process of elimination.
Go over the clues a number of times to get more information once other things are known.
AnswerLiz - 6 km, rabbit, riverside
Marge - 4 km, fox, meadow
Sam - 3km, deer, forest
Ella - 7 km, bear cubs, bushes
Jenny - 5 km, bird, mountain

Switzerland may exercise its veto on various key votes within the OECD together with applying other financial sanctions aimed increasingly at Angel Gurria, the OECD Secretary-General in protest at the way he personally is applying pressure to relax bank secrecy laws and share information for tax purposes.
The Swiss have already blocked a budget payment of USD180,000 and are considering delaying their payment of a USD 8.65m membership subscription. The USD180,000 was destined to promote the OECD's widening engagement with emerging economies, including China and India, which is regarded as one of Gurria's most important initiatives.
Further Swiss applications of its veto have been discussed in the Swiss Parliament with the aim of disrupting such prime initiatives, and the Swiss right of veto over Gurria's re-election in 2011 was a focus point in the debate.
Last Saturday in a radio interview, the Swiss president, Han-Rudolf Merz played down suggestions of disrupting OECD work with the Swiss veto, but at the same time he stated his wish to build a coalition of other countries also on the OECD 'grey list' (countries which have not yet implemented their commitment to the OECD tax standards) with the objective of stopping the OECD from acting 'behind their backs'.
This 'coalition' was seen in action when Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria joined Switzerland in the application of the budget payment veto last Monday.

Wi-Fi, wireless and (often) multi-room speakers are quite literally the current big thing in audio.
Here, we're dealing with premium Wi-Fi speakers, from £200 to about £1,000. I've spent the last year trialling all the big hitters in my gracious home, long-term.
During that time I've formed strong opinions on which has the best sound quality, which can actually stay connected to your router for long enough to justify the word 'wireless', and which I'd give shelf space based on looks. We'll have no minging black plastic boxes here, thanks very much.
You're looking for small, portable, convenient, battery-powered Bluetooth speakers? Well go look at this list of portable Bluetooth speakers, then.
How to buy the best wireless speaker
Decide what type of streaming you want to employ. Apple mans may favour AirPlay. Google fam may want Chromecast compatibility. While Spotify Premium subscribers can probably make do with Spotify Connect.
Perhaps you're one of the seven people who use Tidal? Make sure the speaker is compatible.
I've helpfully indicated what each speaker is compatible with, to help you out, there. Some of them also support Bluetooth, which is insane in my opinion, but clearly there is consumer demand for big, expensive speakers that support a convenient but low-res format, so what do I know?
You'll also want to consider what size of room you want to use it in. Again, I've noted what size of space I think each speaker is able to fill – small (offices, kitchens, bedrooms); medium (larger bedrooms, most front rooms) and large (more palatial or open-plan spaces, combined kitchen/lounge type spaces, Donald Trump's toilet and so forth).
If you want to live the space-age, audiophile bachelor pad dream, you'll want multi-room. Again, I've indicated where this is supported.
Finally, although these are meant to be wireless, in some houses that's just not going to work, and you may have to revert to powerline AV and speakers with ethernet connectivity (again, check the specs).
- Looking for the best Bluetooth speakers? We got 'em…
- The best soundbars available to humanity
- Everything wireless: the best Bluetooth headphones
So, what is the best wireless speaker?
The best wireless speaker in terms of bang for your buck is the cuboid sensation that is the Naim Mu-so Qb.
If you've got more money to burn, the full-size Naim Mu-so is even better, but a totally scientific calculation of pleasure derived divided by money spent leaves it lagging behind its smaller, younger brother.
In the slightly cheaper space below those two, we'd recommend the Sonos Play 5 and Play 3 and the Denon HEOS 7.
To be honest, all of these speakers are very good, and pricing will play a large part in your buying decision, as ever.
But, painful though it is, if we must choose one wireless speaker above all others, we'd pick the Mu-so Qb for its mix of quality, VFM (though we're not saying it's cheap), versatile connectivity, looks and build quality.
The following speakers are all superb, and they're listed in approximate order of superb-ness. Where appropriate, we've noted what we feel each one is best at, too. You're welcome.
1. Naim Mu-so Qb
The best Wi-Fi speaker, pound for pound, you can get
Connectivity: AirPlay, Spotify Connect, UPnP, Tidal, Bluetooth, USB, optical digital, analogue, Wi-Fi, ethernet | Room size: Medium to large | Multi-room: Yes
No, it's not quite as great as Naim's full-size Mu-so, but the Mu-so Qb is about half the cost, more conveniently proportioned and sounds almost as good – you naturally lose a bit of presence and volume, but not as much as you might think.
It has the same, near comprehensive set of connectivity options, from Spotify and AirPlay to Bluetooth and Naim's own multi-room app.
The Qb also supports multi-room, although if having matching speakers throughout your abode is your main goal, we'd recommend a Denon or Sonos over a Mu-so. Multi-room works well over AirPlay here but is a bit fiddly on Naim's own app.
What really sets Naim's wireless speakers apart is that not only do they sound superb - whether turned up and really pumping it out, or serving up more winsome, acoustic, background fare - but they also deliver on the tech front.
Wireless connectivity is impeccably reliable, and there is also the nuclear option of ethernet if your house is one big Wi-Fi black spot. Bluetooth is very solid too, although you'd be nuts to pay this much, only to use the Qb as a Bluetooth speaker. Try one of these instead.
The range of music and streaming options is only missing one obvious big hitter (Chromecast), and the Mu-so Qb also works as an internet radio, as well as being able to stream from your own music servers.
That's via the Naim app, which seems to be widely hated online, but is fine in my book. It's not like you ever need to use said app anyway, if you're on iOS, iTunes, Spotify or Android (thanks to UPnP support).
The build quality is just fantastic, and although the look is decidedly industrial and boxy - it is called Qb (cube, get it?) for a reason - the subtly curved grille softens it a bit, especially if you shell out for a coloured one. You may think it resembles a Borg cube wearing a burqa, but I like it.
The Mu-so Qb ticks just about every box, is a lot more affordable than its big brother, and gives arguably more bang for your buck. That's why it's number one in this list and in our hearts.
2. Denon HEOS 7 HS2
Ugly box, beautiful music: the Sonos rival that out-Sonoses Sonos
Connectivity: Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, Pandora, Deezer, Napster, SoundCloud, Tidal, TuneIn, analogue audio, USB, Wi-Fi, ethernet | Room size: Medium to large | Multi-room: Yes
The Beast to the Sonos Play:5's Beauty, Denon's HEOS 7 is a loud, thumping pointy-shaped powerhouse.
Actually, to be fair, the white version looks alright, but the black one that Denon sent for review is not an attractive thing.
Audio is full and forceful. It's not like the HEOS 7 is incapable of rendering speech or quieter music - in fact it's very good - but arguably the Sonos Play 5 is a better option if that's your bag.
If, however, you're after something that sounds thrilling and upfront, this is for you.
The HEOS 7 is also usually a fair bit cheaper than its American rival, and also offers a wider set of streaming options (they're listed above).
Admittedly some of these options are a bit niche, and the lack of AirPlay or Chromecast is an irritant, but for most users, Spotify and Denon's own mobile app will be just fine. You can also extract music from USB devices, NAS drives, and via Bluetooth.
Denon has a full range of HEOS speakers that roughly mirrors that of Sonos. Multiroom setup is just a matter of dragging 'rooms' on Denon's app on top of each other, and works very well.
3. Sonos Play 5
Best multi-room speaker and a beautiful thing
Connectivity: Sonos proprietory. Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Google Play Music, SoundCloud, Tidal, TuneIn (and many more) via app only, analogue audio, Wi-Fi, ethernet | Room size: Medium to large | Multi-room: Yes
Trying to decide which you prefer out of the HEOS 7 and the Sonos Play 5 is a bit like deciding which of your children you love more. Except that one of the children is beautiful and refined and the other is really quite ugly, but cheaper.
I jest, of course.
The Sonos has a more 'accurate' and less aggressive sound than the HEOS 7, and looks way better, with a subtly curved white form that's a masterclass in modernist design (although also rather hard to keep clean, I've found).
Clever little touches abound, such as TruePlay, which plays a series of tones while you walk around the room with your phone, using its mic to form a sonic map of the Play 5's surroundings, then optimising its output accordingly.
You feel like a right tit wondering about sweeping your mobile up and down while a speaker beeps at you, but the audible results are worth it.
However, it just so happens that I prefer the more forward sound of the HEOS 7 – you might not; it's a free country – and Denon's competitor is also more than £100 cheaper than the Play 5, yet does multi-room and general connectivity almost as well.
The Play 5 also makes you do everything through it's app – Spotify is supported but not Spotify Connect, for instance – which can be a little irksome.
However, the Play 5 is still a stunningly good speaker, and part of a whole suite of excellent products – I'd also highly recommend the compact Play 1, and even the now rather elderly Play 3.
4. Urbanears Baggen
AirPlay, Spotify and Chromecast-powered hipster Sonos!
Connectivity: Spotify, AirPlay, Chromecast, Bluetooth, 3.5mm analogue, Wi-Fi | Room size: Medium to large | Multi-room: Yes
Although the audio on this is very good for something that has the word 'Urban' in it, you couldn't say Baggen is out of the very top drawer, sonically.
However, this is a very fresh take on the wireless speaker, and I'm a big fan.
Firstly, it's unashamedly aimed at a cool, design-focussed market, with a minimalist "fabric-coated cube with knobs on" shape that is wittily undercut with some achingly stylish colour choices (and 'vinyl black', because some people are boring.)
It's a big cube, so if you lack space you might consider its baby brother, the 50s Braun radio-resembling Stammen, pictured in the front row here.
What's really clever about the Urbanears speakers is that they can be chained together with just a click of the volume knob on each.
Not only does this involve minimal hassle, it also means you can get multi-room audio from AirPlay, Chromecast and Spotify on your mobile; something that's normally limited to laptop/PC streaming.
A second knob lets you choose to instead use the 3.5mm line in, Bluetooth or access one of five internet radio presets, easily changeable via the Urbanears app.
The Baggen is more about volume and mass than subtlety or sweetness, but it has plenty of raucous charm. Get DOWN with the kids, I say.
5. Naim Mu-so
The best wireless speaker you can get… But it ain't cheap
Connectivity: AirPlay, Spotify Connect, UPnP, Tidal, Bluetooth, USB, optical digital, analogue, Wi-Fi, ethernet | Room size: Medium to very large | Multi-room: Yes
In a sense, you can ignore all the previous entries, because if you want the best Wi-Fi speaker there is for (just) under a grand, this is it.
In my view, you'd probably be better off getting two Sonos Play 5s, or a Baggen and two Stammens. Or perhaps two HEOS 7s, which would leave you change for a meal out.
But if you don't want multi-room, or are simply minted, the Mu-so is a stunning bit of hardware.
It looks elegant yet industrial, and that's what its sonic performance is like. It can play nice, and hand over very sweet vocals and instrumental performances, or it can remove the iron fist from the velvet glove and give your kidneys a good old sub-bass punch.
Although the list of steaming services supported isn't as epic as on the Sonos or Denon, realistically the majority of users will be served by what's there. Although really, Chromecast should be supported. That's the only glaring omission.
There are also digital, USB and analogue inputs (only 3.5mm, but better than nothing) as well as ethernet as an additional connectivity option
With superb sound, solid multi-room via AirPlay and Naim's own app, plus easy internet radio, again via the app, this is a near-perfect 21st century speaker.
Devialet Phantom Gold
Best ultra-premium Wi-Fi speaker
Connectivity: AirPlay, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, optical digital, ethernet | Room size: Medium to very large | Multi-room: Yes
This appears to have arrived from the future. A future where speakers resemble pulsating, alien power orbs. And also a future where things are much more expensive: this was £2,189 last time we looked.
In my opinion, if you have that money going spare, the Devialet Phantom Gold is well worth it. For electronic music and hip-hop it is possibly the best speaker I've ever heard, in fact.
Devialet has employed advanced and unique amplification and driver technology. This, coupled with a ludicrous 4,000 Watts of power and a frequency range of 14Hz to 27kHz (ie: well below and above the usual human hearing spectrum) gives incredible power and a feeling of palpable excitement with bass-led, punchy, dynamic music.
Of course, it's also hugely capable with quieter sounds, but listening to Cat Stevens or something like that on this beast should really be a punishable offence.
The Devialet Phantom Gold is built to thrill, set to stun, and your neighbours will hate you for it.
6. Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Wireless
Connectivity: AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, analogue, Wi-Fi, ethernet | Room size: Medium to large | Multi-room: Via AirPlay only
The first truly wireless Bowers & Wilkins speaker (the others were docks) is great, sound-wise, but slightly hamstrung by dubious connectivity.
Although B&W know just about everything there is to know about speaker design – in terms of both engineering and aesthetics – it evidently still has a bit of catching up to do when it comes to Wi-Fi and app building.
Not to put too fine a point on it, Wi-Fi connectivity is poor. Not unusably so, but it certainly drops out far more often than any of the other speakers here.
The fact that the Zeppelin Wireless only supports AirPlay and Spotify Connect obviously reduces the potential user base, too. Yes, there is Apt-X/AAC Bluetooth, but it just feels weird to pay £500 for a Wi-Fi speaker and then use it as a Bluetooth one.
The lack of additional connectivity grates a bit as well, given the cost.
All that said, Apple and Spotify users who don't mind plugging the Zeppelin in via ethernet (use Powerline AV) will find the sonic performance of this beautiful-looking speaker is hugely impressive. It's right up there with the Naim Mu-so Qb, and even better than the Sonos and Denon.
Personally, I could just sit and look at the white model all day, too.
7. Raumfeld One S
Best wireless speaker for bathroom
Connectivity: Raumfeld proprietary, ChromeCast. Spotify and TuneIn via app, USB, Wi-Fi, ethernet | Room size: Smallest to medium | Multi-room: Yes
• Buy Raumfeld One S direct from brand for £200
Raumfeld is my insider multi-room tip: it's obscure as hell and has next to no presence in the UK anymore, but it's actual the premium arm of German audio giant Teufel and it makes great speakers.
That's especially true if you're into electronic music and rock. That makes sense, as all Germans are into techno and metal, and the biggest ever bands from that country are Kraftwerk and The Scorpions. It is perfectly serviceable with less Teutonic sounds, though.
The S is actually part of a whole range of multi-room speakers, all of which share the same Bauhaus look and sturm und drang sound. The magnificent Stereo M shown here, for instance. Hello, big boys!
Anyway, the ace up the One S's sleeve is that, thanks to sealed ports and a 230v two-prong plug, it can work in your bathroom. Although not, obviously, too near the bath as it's humidity-proof, not waterproof, and you don't want to be killed.
The One S doesn't really need to go too near the bath, thankfully, as the 50W Class D amp puts out a fearsome, yet distortion-free, racket that also sounds highly involving in non-bathroom settings.
The Raumfeld app supports Spotify and TuneIn, as well as pulling music from your phone or a NAS drive. It is not the greatest app you'll ever come across, but thanks to recently-added Chromecast support, Android and PC users in particular need never touch it again.
8. Ruark R2 Mk 3
Best retro radio with streaming support
Connectivity: Spotify Connect, DLNA, Bluetooth, analogue audio, FM/DAB radio, internet radio | Room size: Medium | Multi-room: Two can be paired
Ruark's retro system is a jack of all trades and a master of several.
You should think of it more as a really-great-sounding radio with streaming bolted on, rather than a Wi-Fi speaker like the others here.
It's beautifully made, encased in a hand-crafted wooden cabinet with a crisp OLED front display and robust 'RotoDial' controls on top. These are intuitive for the radio, not so great for network audio. There is also a blister-button remote, but it is… not good.
Still, it's easy enough to use Spotify Connect (or DLNA from your phone or PC), and braver users can even link two R2s together in the world's smallest multi-room system.
The main selling point of the R2 is its sound, which, like its look, has a retro – or, more accurately, timeless – quality.
It's almost the diametric opposite of the Raumfeld, being competent in all areas but much happier with lighter sounds and – no surprise given Ruark's radio heritage – the human voice, both speaking and singing gaily. Tra-la!
9. Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 1
Best money-no-object, 360º wireless speaker
Connectivity: Spotify, Deezer, QPlay, TuneIn, DLNA, AirPlay, Chromecast | Room size: Medium to large | Multi-room: Yes
And finally, something rather offbeat from Bang & Olufsen.
The BeoSound 1 costs over a grand, looks unique in a way that most people will either love or hate, and in no way sounds like it costs over a grand.
However, it has several, big redeeming features.
The prime one is that the streaming services (Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, er… QPlay, whatever that is) are built into the speaker, so your phone is not required, once you've got a playlist up and running.
Also, while the audio isn't objectively as good as, for instance, the Naim speakers, when you think that it's coming from a much smaller footprint, and radiating in a true 360-degree arc, it's certainly not bad.
If you prefer to have your music coming from the middle of your room, and emanating from what appears to be an objet d'art, this is the speaker for you.
It also has a battery with 'up to 16 hours of life' or 'up to 4 hours at high volume', so you can take it into the garden, put it on your picnic table, and recreate the front cover of Presence by Led Zeppelin.
A lot of hi-fi buffs get awfully upset about B&O, but I think it's great that they make audio products quite unlike anyone else's, and then sell them all as an integrated 'lifestyle' that's a bit like a genial, musical version of the Scientologists. If I had the money, I'd totally get one of these.

Iron Man and Boba Fett. Just think about that pairing for a minute. They're both awesome characters with very cool armor. When Alex Alva decided to participate in the As You Wish Helmet project he chose to mash the two characters up in his design:
Obviously, Iron Man was the inspiration, but the real inspiration came from meeting Stan Lee at Comic Con in Dallas. I am a huge Spider-Man fan, but in talking with Stan and listening to his passion for Iron Man and his excitement about the Avengers movie, I was inspired to focus on Iron Man more than Spider-Man.
This helmet isn't all about looks either. It was created for a good cause. Iron Fett, along with 49 other helmet designs, will be on display at Star Wars Celebration VI next week in Orlando. It will go up for auction on eBay on Thursday, 8/23, and all proceeds will go to Make-A-Wish.
See more photos of the helmet after the break.

Final Fantasy XI
Review by fenixgreyflood99
"Waste of Money and Time"
First let me declare that I am in fact a huge Final Fantasy fan. I have played every Final Fantasy game I can get my hands on. I was really excited when I found out this game was going to be released. I tracked its progress as it was developed and was there at EB the day it came out.
Now I'm not the poorest gamer on the block, and I am willing to spend a good chunk of change to get my VG fix. I dropped $151.98 with Tax CDN, and another $42.00 CDN for a keyboard.
Got the thing home, opened it up, installed it and paid another $16.97 a month for subscription for the online service (Free month offer not applicable to me). That brought the total to $210.95 CDN for the whole deal, which is more than I paid for my PS2 in the first place.
Psyched up and ready to play, I took the plunge.
Graphics: 10/10
The graphics in this title blew me away. They are some of the best on the PS2 and are impressive in an online game to say the least. Textures look pretty good. The color pallet reminds me of previous titles in the series.
Sound 5/10
Really nice sounds in this game, but I found the music to be terrible, like in most Final Fantasy games. The fact that they haven't done anything about this in all the games they have made is beyond me.
Online Play 1/10
What a waste! While the service ran very smoothly for me, the one thing that totally ruined it (and the whole game) for me is the people online. Cursing and swearing and acting like total idiots. It ruined the game. You cant interact with anyone because they are all acting like little punks. It ruins the game completely. The few serious people I did find didn't interest me either. Games like this have a long way to come, players today aren't ready for them, and until there is a way to moderate their behavior at least a little, i'm not paying so much money.
Game Play 4/10
Pretty boring as well. The actual game drags and drags. It takes so much time to do anything, and getting anywhere is tough. It just didn't interest me as much as all the other titles did.
Pros :
- Very nice graphics
Cons :
- Terrible online play (see above)
- Boring
- Very Expensive
- Monthly Subscription
- Keyboard a must
Should I buy?
If you are interested in this game, do all you can to try and play it for at least 2 hours before you get it. Its very expensive, and I just didn't feel that it was worth it. For the same price you could get almost all of the final fantasy titles ever and have way more fun.
Reviewer's Rating: 2.0 - Poor

Beaune, France (AFP) Nov 17, 2013
A Chinese woman won the bidding for a coveted barrel of Burgundy wine at a Christie's-run charity auction in France on Sunday, paying 131,000 euros ($177,000) for her cask.
It was the first time a Chinese buyer came away with the top item at the annual auction for the Hospices de Beaune charity, where around 443 wines went under the hammer.
Yan Hong Cao, the successful young bidder who won the 456 litres of Meursault-Genevrieres, is from Yunan in southeastern China and owns a chain of shops, jade mines and tea plantations.
Michael Ganne, a representative from Christie's, which has run the auction since 2005, said a significant number of Asians had attended the event and that it generated "a lot of interest, with a small volume of vintage" available.
The proceeds from the auction will be distributed among various charities.
France is a major exporter of wine to China, which has become a key, fast-growing market.
Wine consumption in the world's most populous country more than doubled in the four years to 2011, and is set to rise another 40 percent by 2016, according to Vinexpo, the industry's top trade-fair organiser.

Project DescriptionThe Fitzgerald Kavanagh and Partners-designed UCD Student Centre is the new epicentre of sporting, social and academic life in UCD. The project occupies a unique position in the history of the Belfield campus, as both the largest single project since the original masterplan, and the first to be funded entirely by its students.
The complex encompasses 11,000 square metres of student facilities in an iconic, exciting and public-spirited new building by Dublin-based Fitzgerald Kavanagh and Partners. A 50 metre swimming pool, debating chamber, 150-piece gym, 3D cinema, performance theatre and radio studio, among many others, redefine the standards for Irish university facilities. Sustainability was central to the design, with local materials, international expertise and groundbreaking technologies combined to make the Student Centre one of the most eco-friendly public buildings in Ireland.
New public space around the Student Centre unifies the new facilities with the existing UCD Sport and original Student Centre. Aerial walkways within the new building link the three structures to make a seamless, hybrid sport and leisure complex: a place for everyone.
The design team has prepared a book to explain the intricacies and curiosities of the architecture. The complete publication, with a foreword by James Mary O'Connor, AIA (Principal of Moore Ruble Yudell architects) is available to read for free at http://issuu.com/fkparchitecture/docs/fkp-ucd-student-centre

FS: bumper for BMW1500-2000 NK
Are you looking for a brand new bumper for your car? Dont wait more, just simply contact me and you can have it right in your hand.
High grade stainless steel 304, polished shiny, 3-paint coated backside make our bumper the perfect one which can never get rusted or corroded.
Moreover, it is also very easy to be cleaned and can be installed by yourself.
If it, ever, get dented or scratched, it can be beaten back to shape and repolished to look like a brand new one.
We are expanding our market with a wider range of products, so I am looking for more cooperation from anyone who want to make new products. I appreciate any product from classic car (bumper, mirror , molding), new modern car to any product for kitchen , house appliance such as shelf, light and so on, which are made of stainless steel, aluminum, iron, rubber, chrome, etc.
As the Lunar New Year is coming, we are now having a discount season for customers, if you buy 10 sets you will get 1 set for free. For retail customer, we provide discount per total amount too, so just hurry up!!!!!!
Please contact me now and tell me which product you want to make, I shall support and make you satisfied.
Just try it and i am sure you would agree with me that it is worth your money and trust.
For more information, please contact me
