Warm welcome, nice room, beautiful garden - I arrived too late to try the swimming pool, but it seemed interesting
The lady was friendly & welcoming. We were cycling through Holland, and were able to leave our cycles inside. The breakfast was good. Our room was a converted garage, the shower & toilet facility was shared. We felt that the price of over 100 euro's was far too expensive.
The breakfasts were generous and the owner was extremely nice and very eager to do a good job.

Xapian does have this feature, via what is called the MatchSpy. KS does not (yet) have a feature like this, AFAIK. I have implemented it using KS though, in the same way I do for Swish-e, by iterating over all the results for a query (or where result sets are huge and accuracy not as important, up to a pre-defined max to extract a suitable sample size) and then caching the facet counts. So the first time a query is run, the performance hit is paid, but after that, my code checks the cache for the query and uses those numbers instead. Set the cache ttl based on your business needs. Search::OpenSearch (on CPAN) will be including this facet+cache feature as soon as I have time to write it. -- Peter Karman . http://peknet.com/ . peter at peknet.com

Sorry for so many posts lately but I guess I'm a little nervous about my upcoming delivery (okay a lot nervous about it lol).
Anyway, my doctor wants us to try a vaginal delivery for my IUGR baby, and I was wondering if many IUGR moms out there had success with vaginal delivery. I've heard low birthweight babies can have difficulty handling the stress of labor so I'm wondering if it's likely I'll end up having a c-section in the end, but maybe vaginal delivery of IUGR babies is more common than I realize.
Also, my doc asked me if I am okay with him using vacuum or forceps to get the baby out as a last resort before movingĀonto a c-section, or if I would rather him just go straight to c-section if they are having trouble getting the baby out vaginally. I did some research about vacuum / forceps online but could not find anything about whether these methods are possibly more dangerous with low birthweight babies. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks for your help

New Era for Home of the Pelicans
Pelicans Ballpark will have new name in 2012
By Myrtle Beach Pelicans | March 3, 2012 1:26 PM ET
"Our main goal is to create memories for our neighbors and guests whether it's at a baseball game, musical performance or a community event," said Pelicans Chairman Chuck Greenberg. "The venue's name becomes an indelible memory for our fans that lasts a lifetime. We are very excited to complete a new partnership soon and to unveil a new name prior to Opening Day of what for now we'll simply call Pelicans Ballpark."
Pelicans Ballpark opened as a state-of-the-art facility in 1999 thanks to combined efforts from the City of Myrtle Beach, Horry County, Burroughs & Chapin, devoted baseball fans and the ballclub. Originally named Coastal Federal Field, BB&T took over the naming rights in 2008 after acquiring the local bank.
"Without corporate partnerships, it's difficult to provide the value and wholesome family entertainment of professional baseball and other events the ballpark has hosted," said Pelicans GM Scott Brown. We thank Coastal Federal and BB&T for their support over the past 13 years as our stadium naming rights partner, and look forward to creating and expanding existing partnerships with those who share our commitment to Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand community."
Current ownership, led by Greenberg, purchased the Pelicans mid-way through the 2006 season. After that season, the Pelicans invested $2.5 million in the capital improvements, installing a new videoboard, creating the nation's first baseball-front beach down the leftfield line, constructing leftfield bleachers and adding a new free-standing ticket office as well as updating the park's grill stands. The stadium is regularly ranked as one of the nation's best, and was honored with the Carolina/California League All-Star Game in both 2008 and 2010.
Professional baseball burst onto the Myrtle Beach scene with a pair of Carolina League titles in the Pelicans first two seasons in 1999 and 2000. An Atlanta Braves affiliate for the team's first 12 years, stars including Rafael Furcal, Adam Wainwright, Brian McCann, Elvis Andrus and Jason Heyward entertained en route to the Major Leagues. Future Hall of Famer Tom Glavine, all-star Tim Hudson and Cy Young winner Mike Hampton packed the stadium on rehabilitation assignments. The park ushered in a new affiliation with the Texas Rangers last season, hosting the first MLB team to visit Myrtle Beach. The Rangers played in an exhibition against Coastal Carolina before a standing-room only crowd on March 29, 2011.
In addition to hosting the Pelicans, the ballpark welcomes Coastal Carolina's nationally-ranked baseball team for early season and postseason tournaments, including NCAA Regionals and 2010 Super Regional. The big league caliber surface also hosts top scholastic tournaments from the Ripken Experience and Triple Crown organizations each year. The site has hosted many charities, corporate outings and Fourth of July celebrations while serving as the finish line for the Myrtle Beach Marathon.
Pelicans Ballpark has a name in the entertainment world too, hosting concerts by Bob Dylan, Montgomery Gentry and Willie Nelson. Popular HBO original series 'Eastbound & Down' completed filming its third season at the park in February.
Pelicans single game tickets, season tickets, flex Books and mini-plans for the 2012 season are now on sale at the Pelicans Ballpark offices or by calling (843) 918-6000. Normal box office hours are Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm. The Pelicans open 2012 at home against the Wilmington Blue Rocks, Friday, April 6th, at 7:05 pm.

California has set a precedent for providing needed retirement reform at the state level, and other states have begun to follow in its footsteps. Within one week, both Connecticut and Maryland's legislatures are considering similar legislation to create individual retirement accounts for low-income private employees who do not have access to such plans at work.
On Tuesday, February 26, 2013, the Connecticut General Assembly held two hearings on the legislation, discussed in detail below. One week later, on March 5, 2013, Maryland's House of Delegates' Economic Matters Committee considered legislation introduced by Delegate Tom Hucker. SCEPA tesified at both, sharing our research on the impending retirement crisis.
The Connecticut Assembly's Labor and Public Employees Committee held a hearing on Bill 54: An Act Establishing a Retirement Savings Plan for Low Income Private Sector Workers, and the Aging Committee discussed Bill 885: An Act Establishing a Task Force to Evaluate the Utility of Creating a Public Retirement Plan. SCEPA Research Economist Joelle Saad-Lessler, Ph.D. Columbia University, provided testimony for both pieces of legislation. She stated:
"Middle income workers in Connecticut will fare worse than today's retirees. Between 2000 and 2010 employer sponsorship of retirement plans dropped from 65% to 58%. As a result, over 686 thousand workers in Connecticut between the ages of 25 and 64 did not have access to a retirement plan through their employer in 2010. When people do save for retirement, their savings are vulnerable to high fees and low returns. Growing numbers of Connecticut residents will find themselves NOT READY for retirement, and will turn to the state for help. This is a crisis that needs to be addressed now.
We propose that the Connecticut legislature increase access to retirement savings by giving workers the option of opening up an individual, Guaranteed Retirement Account (GRA) through the existing Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds (CRPTF).
The Guaranteed Retirement Account, or "G.R.A.", takes advantage of existing financial infrastructure in the state to give private sector workers access to the best financial managers and the lowest fees. The accounts would be separate from public sector retirement funds and come at no cost to taxpayers -- workers would pay administrative fees. Since these are individual retirement savings accounts, there is no liability to the state. Workers take out what they and their employer put in, plus the returns they earn. Private capital markets offer expensive retirement accounts with high fees to lower income workers because the sums invested are low. By pooling the money from many private sector workers, the Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds can invest in longer term opportunities with higher rates of return and charge lower fees. This is a win for workers."

True Story: One Writer's Climb To The Top (Literally).e_darrellj | Dec 07, 2012
Mark Leary of Soulsplash Writers is among the top freelance writers on Elance. But more than simply scaling the pinnacle of his literary profession, he has also reached his lifelong dream of living in the clouds. In fact you'll find him most days happily working and playing at his home/office – 3,600 feet up the Cascade Mountains at the base of Bend, Oregon's Mt. Bachelor.
"Thanks to Elance I can work in the sunshine on my back deck, go for a morning ski or afternoon mountain bike ride, and still get in a full-day's work – all on my own clock," Mark says. "I have freedom and flexibility that none of my corporate friends enjoy." He's also quick to point out that with very few writing jobs in Bend, without Elance he would never have been able to trade in the cubicle for a ski lift.
To date Mark has completed over 150 writing jobs and counting on Elance, from sales and marketing projects to ghostwriting articles and eBooks. This includes a wide-variety of topics that keep him fresh and energized. "The range and diversity of projects is a blast," he notes. "Everything from writing How To Surf and How To Throw A Baby Shower books to ghostwriting for best-selling New York authors."
There's an international flavor to Mark's portfolio too, thanks to Elance. He's able to write for a diverse list of clientele from around the world – from the United States and Canada to South Africa, Australia and the United Kingdom.
Choosing Elance was an easy choice for Mark. "It's a trusted company where people feel safe working, especially with the escrow. Elance is also well-publicized, which gives me a bigger reach and eliminates the need for additional marketing." He also gives a thumbs up to Elance's sensible rating and ranking system that rewards people fairly.
While his career continues going uphill and his mountain bike downhill, we have to salute someone able to achieve an ideal work/life balance. It must be heavenly.

I sent a note saying that the agreement between myself and the client had changed from an hourly rate to a payment of $75 per exercise. I noted that this had not been changed and the client has deposited no money for payment. As result I am now owed $300.00. This is the 2nd time that I have had a problem with being paid for work completed and I am very unimpressed. I have written 2 messages to the client since providing them with the work and they have not responded. Prior to this they were very much in contact with me. At this point in time I am very unhappy with the whole situation and advise anybody wishing to use this system to think very carefully. Obviously it works well for a lot of people but at this point in time it appears I have been cheated twice.

Please Note: You are viewing the non-styled version of The Ohio Department of Aging. Either your browser does not support Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) or it is disabled. We suggest upgrading your browser to the latest version of your favorite Internet browser.
Ohio has developed a robust system of programs, services and supports for older adults and adults with disabilities. That system was built, in great part, at the local level through a variety of funding sources targeted at specific populations. As a result, when an individual needs help, it can be a challenge to know where to start and what to ask. As Ohio works to unify its long-term care system, it is building a "front door" to long-term care services that is intended to simplify how an individual learns about and accesses the services he or she may need.
Built on an Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) model, developed at the federal level by the Administration on Aging and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the front door philosophy capitalizes on the strengths of the local system of supports and programs that serve people in their community and develops ways for those systems to work better together. Simply put, the intent is to streamline access to both Medicaid and non-Medicaid long-term services and supports, using existing systems.
Ohio's front door is being built through collaborative efforts spearheaded by the area agencies on aging and includes county departments of job and family services, centers for independent living, 2-1-1 systems, information and referral providers, senior centers and other key partners. This approach recognizes that individuals access information through any number of organizations, depending on their preferences, comfort level and knowledge about what's available. Working together, these organizations ensure that individuals have access to quality information about the options available to them.
The collaborative efforts at the regional level include development of an infrastructure that provides access to comprehensive information about the options available, both for professionals assisting an individual as they search and for individuals who want to search on their own. That infrastructure includes a public database of information about programs and services. It also includes education about the available options and advice about how to navigate the service delivery system.
While the front door is part of the state's Unified Long-term Care Systems and Supports initiatives, it also will provide comprehensive information about other services and programs that divert people from Medicaid or at least delay their need for Medicaid support, such as employment help, disease prevention and health promotion, access to benefits, private pay services and planning for future needs.
The collaborative relationships necessary for a successful front door are in varying stages around the state. One example of such a partnership is between the Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, Inc. and the Ability Center of Greater Toledo, a center for independent living. They cross-train their information and referral specialists, giving both agencies an in-depth knowledge of the services that are available to older adults and people with disabilities.
When the front door concept is fully functional, information will be available via phone, online or in-person. Information will be public, user-friendly and Internet-based so individuals can research, learn about and select from options on their own, if that is their choice.
By working more closely together, all partners collaborating in the front door will be able to focus on what is best for the individual and respect that individual's right to make choices based on their needs, strengths and preferences.
2010 Conference on Independent Living
Independence, Ohio - June 9 and 10, 2010
Due to the changing demographics of our communities, care and service providers will be challenged to meet all of the demands of our aging and disabled residents. Please join the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging at the 2010 Conference on Independent Living: Life With Purpose During Innovative Times to discuss uniting the aging and disability networks in Ohio communities to strengthen access to systems that serve both populations. Care professionals will explore innovative perspectives on how our communities can build, strengthen and increases access to service systems through collaboration between networks.
Technical Assistance Center for Caregiver Programs
The Technical Assistance Centers for Caregiver Programs and Lifespan Respite support state caregiver program development. As part of this effort, the Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) has developed a monthly e-newsletter that offers timely information about best practices, key research findings and policy trends related to family caregiving, as well as training opportunities.

Just wanted to share a few tidbits I learned from the recent AFGE newsletter I get
1)Senators Lieberman, Collins Want to Slash Federal Wages, Benefits by $60 Billion: Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman and Ranking Member Susan Collins today proposed nearly $60 billion in cuts to federal employees' wages and benefits as part of their recommendations to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. This would be on top of $60 billion in cuts already contributed by federal employees through a two-year pay freeze. Meanwhile, the two senators have proposed a paltry $11 billion reduction to the $320 billion spent each year on government service contractors. And they've left in place a policy that lets government contractors charge taxpayers nearly $700,000 for each contractor employee. Their proposal would extend the two-year pay freeze on federal employees for another year, force federal employees to contribute another 1.2 percent of their salaries toward retirement, reduce the salary used to determine an employee's monthly retirement payments, bar employees from counting any unused sick leave toward retirement calculations and reduce workers' compensation benefits for employees injured on the job.
"Forcing additional pay and benefits cuts on middle class federal employees, while continuing to use taxpayer dollars to pad the million dollar salaries of federal contractors, is outrageous," AFGE President John Gage said. "It's exactly this kind of unconscionable behavior that is fueling the Occupy Wall Street movement."
But lawmakers on the other side of Capitol Hill proposed a completely different plan. Members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee led by Ranking Member Elijah E. Cummings this week released a report with recommendations to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, urging the supercommittee to avoid further cuts to federal employees' compensation and benefits given the significant cuts already imposed on them. Federal employees already sacrificed by having their pay frozen this year and next, which will save the government $60 billion during the next decade. In addition, as a result of $1 trillion in cuts to agency budgets, federal agencies have already cut back significantly on hiring employees and many are planning furloughs and reductions-in-force.
"Further cuts to federal employee compensation, benefits or workforce size will negatively impact recruitment and retention and substantially degrade agency performance," the lawmakers wrote in their report.
Rather than impose additional cuts to the federal workforce, the supercommittee should reform the compensation of government contractors, the lawmakers said. They endorsed a proposal from AFGE to cap the compensation government contractors can charge taxpayers at $200,000 annually per employee, which is the salary Cabinet secretaries earn. Currently, government contractors can charge taxpayers $693,951 a year for each of their five highest paid executives, while there is no cap for other contractor employees. Lowering this cap to $200,000 and applying it to all contractor employees would save the government $50 billion over 10 years. The lawmakers also said the government should consolidate the purchasing power of the eight million enrollees in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program to obtain lower prescription drug prices, saving $1.6 billion over 10 years. They also asked the supercommittee to reject a proposal by the president to establish a Commission on Federal Public Service Reform, calling such a commission redundant of past and current efforts to reform federal personnel policies.
2)Former NSPS Architect Calls for an End to Labor-Management Partnerships: At the same hearing, former Office of Personnel Management senior advisor George Nesterczuk blasted labor unions and called on Congress to kill labor-management partnerships, saying they are "a radical escalation of the role of federal unions." "Unions are a special interest. They exist to maximize the extraction of benefits from employers on behalf of their members. To place them in a position where they can influence public policy for their own benefit is a clear conflict of interest and should not be tolerated," said Nesterczuk, a conservative who helped create the controversial and outgoing National Security Personnel System.
3)Extremist Senators Vote to Kill Obama's Jobs Plan: The majority of senators voted in favor of advancing President Barack Obama's 447 billion jobs bill Tuesday, but the bill fell short of the 60 votes needed to move it to debate. The procedural hurdle was part of the right wing's efforts to reject any plan proposed by President Obama even though it has elements they traditionally support. Obama has plans to break the jobs bill down and challenge lawmakers to reject each individually.
"Ultimately, the American people won't take "no" for an answer," Obama said. "It's time for Congress to meet their responsibility, put their party politics aside and take action on jobs right now."
4)Right Wing Senators Proposes Anti-Middle Class Bill: In response to President Obama's jobs plan that they just voted down, right-wing senators came up with their own legislation that takes on working families while benefiting corporations. The bill, put together by Sens. Rand Paul and John McCain, combines other bills recently introduced that attack labor unions, working families and the middle class on all fronts and have nothing to do with the job crisis. For example, the Paul-McCain bill would repeal the health care act that, among other things, provides coverage to children and people with existing conditions. The bill would destroy workers and their unions by blocking the National Labor Relations Board from taking actions against employers who punish their employees for choosing to unionize or to exercise the right to strike by eliminating or transferring their jobs somewhere else. The bill would prohibit any federal agency from issuing new regulations until the unemployment rate is equal to or less than 7.7 percent (the unemployment rate in January 2009).
Whew! Keeping the masses in their place is hard "work." Now it's time for another recess, the third in just 7 weeks.

Aaron Paul's Wedding Selfie Leads This Week's Best Celebrity Twitpics
Enough with the counting down and the planning — summer has arrived! The weather around the country has hit an all time level of perfect, especially in the city of Los Angeles. Not everyone has time to take a real summer break, but that doesn't mean that the stars aren't still bringing the summer ideals of fun and leisure to work with them, and posting all of their escapades to Twitter and Instagram to prove it.
Love was in the air for many celeb couples this past week. This holds true especially for Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul, who married his longtime girlfriend Lauren Parsekian on May 26. Paul posted many pictures to his Twitter, mostly of the bride and groom, who both exude that "Just Married" glow. Hopefully the couple got everything they needed in their wedding registry. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
Some other couples who showed some classy PDA this week were Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, as well as Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.
On the other side of the pond, Sarah Hyland remained as perky as ever with a picture of herself travelling to London, England to film her upcoming project, Vampire Academy. The 22-year-old actress is travelling just after the season finale of Modern Family aired on ABC. Talk about a full plate!
Also on set in England this week is Glee star, Harry Shum Jr., who posted a picture of himself and co-star Sean Astin doing some team bonding on their untitled film. The activity of choice for optimum team bonding? Bowling, of course!

Engineering and industrial services provider
In April, Coffey advised that it expected operating earnings before, interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $45 million to $50 million for the year ending June 30, 2010, excluding any potential goodwill impairments.
Coffey said on Wednesday that operating EBITDA before one-off costs for the year was expected to be within the range of $45 million to $50 million, and no goodwill impairments were expected.
However, a "business right-sizing plan", which will include job cuts, will incur one-off costs of $3 million to $4 million for the 2009-10 financial year.
The plan is expected to lead to cost savings of $12 million to $15 million in financial 2011.
Coffey said financial volatility in Europe, the federal government's proposed resources super profits tax and the consequent slowing of projects had made trading conditions uncertain.
"While we have seen improved fee revenue during May and June 2010, after experiencing a decline in the first four months of the 2010 calendar year, we have not yet seen adequate recovery to give us confidence that it will be sustained in each of our business sectors," managing director
"We are taking a prudent approach to financial management, focusing on right-sizing the business for the current conditions.
"Unfortunately, this will result in a number of job losses, but we are, where possible, implementing a series of flexible work arrangements to reduce the number of staff impacted."
Mr Olds said Coffey was growing parts of its business that were experiencing strong demand, such as the oil and gas sector.
Coffey also expected to see its investment in business development generate an increase in market share and revenue.
Coffey said there were still big opportunities, particularly in the Middle East, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar.
"We expect these will lead a turnaround in Coffey's Europe and Middle East region's financial performance in the 2011 financial year," Mr Olds said.
"Canada is also seeing a good level of activity, and in the Asia Pacific region, we are still seeing opportunities in coal, liquid natural gas and major infrastructure such as roads, rail and ports.
"We will continue to invest in the growth of our mining business, and expect to see continued improvement, including a turnaround in our Brazilian business in the 2011 financial year."
Coffey also said its banker, ANZ, had confirmed variations to Coffey's borrowing facilities.
These included restructuring existing loan facilities to increase the working capital facility by $60 million, with a corresponding reduction in the acquisition facility and no change in the overall facility limit.
The company said the variations also provided headroom in the financial undertakings to support Coffey's future expected trading performance.
Coffey shares were steady at 90¢ at 11.18am AEST on Wednesday.

Simone Perele Response:This bra features stretch Leavers lace cups with an elastic trim at the edge; this trim creates a curve-hugging, custom fit for most silhouettes. Every woman has a shape and distribution unique to her (more fullness on top part of the breast vs. on the bottom, etc.), and naturally certain styles or features will enhance different shapes. For a similarly exquisite lace demi with lighter stretch in the elastic edging, try the Simone Perele Wish Demi Cup Lace Bra 12B330 or Simone Perele Jaipur Demi Cup Bra 15D330.
Jk from New York
Simone Perele Response: Hi Cyll, thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you love the aesthetic of our brand, but are sorry to hear your fit experience has been inconsistent. Each of the bras you have purchased, Amour, Celeste and Delice are different "lace"bras- the Amour is made with a beautiful leavers lace, Celeste is flat Chantilly lace and Delice an incredibly soft embroidered tulle. As I'm sure you have experienced, the type of lace can play a role in the overall fit of the bra. Last fall we launched the WISH collection. Simone Perele Wish Demi Cup Lace Bra 12B330, like Delice, is exquisite embroidery on tulle. We think you might like the fit of this bra. We hope you were able to snatch up the DELICE in Navy (knowing how much you liked the Amour!). Be on the lookout for our fall color Garnet arriving to Herroom in July!
Cyll from Ontario

|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Casita Flora is a one bedroomed house on two levels. There is a queen sized bed, a roof terrace and the separate toilet and shower upstairs and a kitchen and lounge diner with sofa bed downstairs. It has it's own entrance and small outside seating area. There is a sattelite TV and we have wifi. The gardens are there to explore with many fruit trees which you are welcome to pick when in season. The large swimming pool is lovely in the warmer months and is used by both apartments. There is also a barbeque and lots of outside seating either in the sun or shade. We have dogs on the property but they can be kept in their own compound if required. Lots of secure parking with electric gated entry. Near the A7 motorway for easy access to many local attractions such as museums, churches, theatre, parks and great shopping. There are many walks and nature trails with varied birds, insects and plants to look at. There are also bike tracks. For the adventurous there is whitewater rafting, rockclimbing and kayaking available. We are just over an hour to Almeria airport. Alicante and Murcia are a little further at 90 mins. The beaches of Aguilas and Bolnuevo are 30mins and 40 mins respectively and are both beautiful.
We have another casita - Jasmine and these two can be combined for larger parties.
Please note we have listed this as suitable for 4 persons. The toilet is through the bedroom so may not be suitable for 2 couples but could be for two adults and two children. All bedding and towels provided including pool towels. Welcome pack also provided.
We spent a relaxing two weeks by the pool and exploring Murcia. As a family of four we opted to rent both Fincas, this gives plenty of room. The grounds are well kept and Lemon trees outside the back door where a delight. The location is rural and if you intend to explore a hire car is really a must. If you can tear yourself away from the pool (which is a good size), The coast is about a 25 minute drive offering a variety of beaches. Heading inland there are a variety of quintesential Spanish towns and villages. Alahmra de Murcia offered a great afternoon out and a fantastic range of patisseries offering local specialities. Whilst a trip up towards Calasparra, Mulla and Cieza offers outstanding scenery. The kids loved Qala Aventura, a cave system that offered a 45 minute tour underground. Another must see is Castillo De Lorca (Fortress of the Sun) in Lorca. The castle offers stunning views for miles and a wealth of history (which is helpfully largely translated into English if needed). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Phil, Lyn & Win were great hosts always on hand to help if required. If you are looking to experience rural Spain, in our opinion this is a great place to start.
Lyn y su marido han sido muy amables y atentos.. el sitio es más bonito de cómo se ve en las fotos. Las noches son espectaculares.volveremos.
Die Finca liegt am Rand von
Puerto Lumbreras. Wer es gerne ruhig mag, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Das Appartment war sauber und gepflegt. Im Appartment liegen Prospekte mit möglichen Aktivitäten aus. Die Autobahn ist nicht so weit entfernt und hat uns die Möglichkeit auf spontane Aktivitäten gegeben. Empfehlenswert ist der Besuch vom Caminito Del Rey. Der Strand von Aguilas ist ca. 20-30 min entfernt. Nach unseren Tagestouren haben wir immer gerne am Pool oder direkt vor dem Appartment den Tag ausklingen lassen. Supermärkte und Restaurants sind alle gut zu erreichen. Eine Küche ist vorhanden, aber bei den günstigen Preisen sind wir lieber Essen gegangen. Der Vorteil, wenn man nicht in einem Touristen-Gebiet wohnt. Die Eigentümer sind wirklich sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder dort buchen.

Model: Cornet Category: Phono Preamp Suggested Retail Price: $95 - $595 - $695 Description: Hagerman Cornet Phono Pre Manufacturer URL: Hagerman Technology Model Picture: View

Add Your Review
for the CornetBeing familiar with the signature sound of my Trumpet phono preamp or lack there of, I was intrigued by the reports of people who built the Cornet 2 preamp. The Cornet 2 is one of the mid-price phono preamp (Original Cornet is the other one) in the Hagerman Technology line of phono preamps. According to Mr. Hagerman, it is basically the same as the original Cornet in circuit topology but it deviates from the similarity in a way that several upgrade features for the original were already incorporated to the 2 as standard in the circuit layout namely CCS and stereo/mono switch as notables.
I built my Cornet2 with the stock parts list of resistors but with the Auricap capacitor upgrades as listed in the "Modification†section of the manual. I opted for the black Hagerman chassis as well.
Building the Cornet 2 is easy if you have some electronics background. The manual is clear and concise of the steps that are necessary to be successful in completing the project. The PCB was labeled clearly and the instructions to populate the circuit board up to wiring the transformer were straight forward. In retrospect, I populated, soldered, wired, and completed my preamp (assuming all parts are already on hand) in a day and a half including soaking the PCB with alcohol for a few hours to clean unwanted solder fluxes on the board.
I run my stock-Auricap upgraded Cornet2 for three weeks and was very happy with the results. Compared to the Trumpet, it is not as good in the bass region and how the Trumpet presents a smooth non-fatiguing presentation. It also lacks the Trumpet's wider soundstage. The Cornet 2 has a wide soundstage, do not get me wrong, but the Trumpet at the time of my comparison in my system clearly has the advantage. I bought identical sets of tubes for the Trumpet and Cornet (JJ 12AU7's and Sovtek 12AX7LPS) during my comparison by the way. A Sovtek 5Y3GT was the rectifier tube used in the Cornet2.
On the fourth week, I change all the stock resistors in the signal path with Rikens. I run it for about a week and then listened for improvement. IMO, there was none whatsoever. I left the Rikens in place since I do not want to solder and de-solder again that might lead to weakening the circuit board traces.
From a month and a half and onwards, I tried Hovland, then the Jensen Aluminum PIO, then the Jensen Copper PIO, and lastly the Mundorf SIO in the output (C208) cap position replacing the Auricap. In the inter-stage (C203) position, I tried the Orange drop, the stock ceramic, and the Sonicap Platinum replacing, again, the Auricap.
I also replaced the Auricaps on C202 (RIAA) and C204 with Sonicap Gen II film capacitors.
My observations after rolling the capacitors are as follows. There was a big change in level of quietness (noise background) from using the Sonicap Platinum in the C203 position compared to the Auricap. The Orange Drop on the same position did not produce the same result. In the C208 position (output), the Hovlands sound much better than the Auricap and/or the two types of Jensens I tried. The Jensens were fine but seems to have a slight "chugging along†character. It does not give me the same impact in the bass region and brass instruments seems to be tamed a little bit. It has a sonic signature for sure but in my system, I did not like the outcome using these capacitors in the output. The Hovlands sound very nice on the C208 position. In my system, it has all the qualities that I was looking for. Despite of the accolades, the Hovlands are no match to the Mundorf SIO.
I found Sovtek 12AXLPS and Amperex BB large ring getter works well in my set up with the Sovtek 5Y3GT as rectifiers. I also like the Mazda 5Y3GB/RFT in the rectifier position or the Bendix 6106 in the same position with Tungsram 12AX7 and RCA 5814.
I tried RCA, Telefunken, Mullard, Amperex, Matsushita, Raytheon, and GE in the 12AX7 positions, as well as RCA, GE, and Sylvania 5751's. In the 12AU7 position, I tried Amperex Globe, Telefunken (smooth and ribbed plate), Raytheon, GE, RCA, EI, and JJ.
Comparison To The Trumpet (Post Cap Upgrade)
With the right tubes, the Cornet 2 is very close to the sound of the Trumpet in my system from the midband up to the high band. The main difference is that the bass impact of the Trumpet in my set up is first rate. I can get the Cornet 2 closer to the bass quality of the Trumpet by using 5AR4 as rectifier but it looses the accuracy on the mid and the highs in return, meaning the bass seems to be prominent than the rest. At about 100 hours on the caps (Mundorf and Sonicap), the results are very convincing. It seems that each day, there were some minute improvements as the caps burned in. It could be that or from the tubes settling as well.
At present, I am leaving the (Sonicap/ Mundorf) configurations as is. I am content with the outcome of my investment and will greatly welcome additional improvements as the caps reach users reported burn in time. Even if the "burned in†settling of the caps were a myth, I will not lose sleep from the outcome of my project.
IMO, the Cornet 2 is a real bargain in terms of the price performance ratio. It is a tweakers dream as well since you can try many different combinations of caps and tubes without abandoning your mistress. The preamp is an ease to build and sounds wonderful. The first week of operation might surprise you but if you give it a couple of weeks, the sound that this preamp is capable of will begin to bloom and form its character. Afterwards, the improvement is astounding and will continue to do so for about a month. Rolling the caps provides immediate feedback. But it will be a mistake to judge its impact to the overall sound of the preamp if you run it only for about 24 hours.
The Cornet 2 is a DIY product that you can enjoy and learn at the same time building it. With the quality of the PCB and the solid design concept producing predictable result (great sound!), it is difficult to understand why people who are shopping for a phono preamp within its price range failed to consider it. With this type of quality available to DIY nowadays, there seems to be only one reason why the same people did not hear about this product; "They forgot to do their homework"?

Basingstoke forward Greg Owen has announced his retirement from ice hockey
Great Britain and Basingstoke Bison forward Greg Owen has announced his retirement.
Last Updated: 18/04/13 9:57am
The 31-year-old began his career with Oxford City Stars and iced for Bracknell Bees in both the Superleague and BNL.
He won the BNL league and cup double with the Bees in 2004-05, two years after winning the EPL play-offs with Milton Keynes Lightning.
Owen spent three years with the Bison in the Elite League, followed by a season in France with Briancon before returning to the EIHL with Coventry Blaze where he won the 2009-10 league title.
His final year has been spent back with Basingstoke in the EPL and he scored 67 points in 52 matches.
The forward respresented Great Britain U18s and U20s and his final match for GB against Korea on Saturday will be his 41st senior cap, having missed a handful of world championship tournaments through injury.
Owen, who has won world championship bronze and silver medals, said: "Retirement seems like too extreme a word to use but, after months of deliberation, it's time for me to officially announce the end of my playing career.
"Hockey has been such a big part of my life and forming who I am since I was a boy. This decision has not been taken lightly.
"Some might say I'm too young and that I still have some good years in front of me, but for me it feels like a natural end to what I would consider to be a very fruitful and prestigious career.
"I have never been the most talented player, the most skillful, the fastest, or strongest, but I have built my career and prided myself on consistency, work ethic, tenacity, and a never-say-die attitude.
"I've gained so much valuable experience playing this game and have honed my craft in Canada, the Superleague, English Premier League, British National League, Elite League, Ligue Magness (France), not to mention the numerous times I've pulled on a GB jersey and represented my country.
"I can only hope that I can put some of the experience I've gained back into the sport, so that generations to come can have the same or potentially better opportunities than I've had."
Great Britain head coach, Tony Hand, said: "Greg has had a tremendous career and one he should be very proud of.
"He has been one of the leading GB players throughout his career and will be sadly missed.
"He has been a pleasure to coach for Great Britain and I want to wish him all the best in his future career."

Not Bad But We Expected Better: Celebrity Constellation Cruise Review by richstowe
Overall Member Rating
Not Bad But We Expected Better
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The ship is generally in good shape, and the staff were almost all kind and courteous. We took part in 3 Roll Call events including the M&G, slot pull and cabin crawl and got to see 2 types of suites .Nice but even these are dated.
We took an Aqua Class cabin, 9116, which was in a great location. We heard no noise. The cabin stewards were fine and helpful with all being kept clean. The cabin itself is a bit dated and frayed. The bathroom door would barely close and the balcony door was so stiff it took all our efforts to get back in.
Blu was a disappointment. Faux healthy food in a sterile setting. Several of the waiters were unfriendly. My DW thought it wasn't that bad but I would have preferred the MDR. We had to wait to get in the first 2 nights so we ended up arriving at 8 the last 3 nights. The MDR menu didn't look all that great either. Breakfast service was slow but the food was good. More
We received the drink package and didn't upgrade. It was great but if it wasn't included I don't think we would pay for it. We might get the non-alcohol package next time as we really enjoyed Café Baccio's drinks. This became our favorite hangout. The Oceanview Café (buffet) was good with lots of options which were well presented. The ice cream was great.
Entertainment was adequate. The CD was a pretty good host and hilarious in his morning show with Mark the activity manager. J C (the CD) is off after this cruise. Comedian James Stephens lll and Derek Lewis who had a karaoke/sing-along show were fine.
Cozumel was fun. We walked to the Money Bar after our pre-booked excursion was altered by Celebrity. The departure time was changed to 2 hours earlier so we bowed out. We ended up snorkeling exactly where the cruise ship excursions went, just off-shore from the Money Bar. Chicken nachos and cold beer were A+.
We also enjoyed Key West . We walked to Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. ($2.50 entrance fee) We sat on the beach after exploring the fort. After the park we enjoyed strolling through the very touristy but very entertaining town.
We had a few small issues on-board including a hassle getting my own money I had previously deposited as OBC, back in cash. They no longer serve lobster it seems for 5 day cruises. Toiletries were pathetic. Our steward said that starting on the next cruise there will be a new brand of toiletries. Most of the AQ benefits were poor such as dollar store sandals.
All in all a good but not great cruise. Add this to the changes to the X loyalty plan and we are now open (again) to all cruise options. We greatly preferred our Summit cruise. Everything was just that much better. Less

Cabin review: 049116 Ocean View 4
Great location between 2nd and 3rd elevators. No noise at all. Bathroom door broken and balcony door very stiff.Read All Ocean View 4 (04) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
We walked to the Money Bar. It took 35 minutes and was an easy mostly sidewalk. Great place. No charge for the loungers, washrooms and showers. They expect you to buy food and drinks which is fair. No hard sell. Food and service were A+. We snorkeled . Amusingly various ship excursions come here to snorkel just off-shore from the Money Bar. We brought our own masks and fins but you can rent. The rentals are crappy and there is a $15 fee.The rest was great.
Went to Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park which was a 15 minute walk from the port. Nice place with a pleasant beach. We spent the rest of our time walking the main tourist area. As tourist areas go, Key West's is very nice with great food and shopping plus lots of interesting spots.

Eat Slowly And Carry A Big Fork
According to a new study, if you want to eat less of your giant plate of food, use a giant fork. Researchers at the University of Utah found that fork size affects people's food consumption when eating large portions by making them feel as if they are making a more significant dent in their meal. "People do not have clear internal cues about the appropriate quantity to consume … They allow external cues, such as fork size, to determine the amount they should consume," said researchers. Really? Have we gotten to the point where we need a large fork to stop us from gorging ourselves? What if we just served ourselves an appropriate amount of food and stopped eating when we were full? Just a thought. [Live Science] Want to contact the writer of this post? {encode="[email protected]" title="Email her"}!

Davos diary, day three
The World Economic Forum in Davos is the meeting place for the movers and shakers of the globalised economy. Writing exclusively for BBC News Online, Vernon Ellis, the international chairman of management consultancy Accenture, reports his daily Davos experience.
Day 3: Friday, 26 January
Much has been written about Davos Man recently, not all of it flattering.
It is tempting to see this exclusive gathering of world leaders as remote and out of touch.
Certainly that is a view the protesters would share.
But there is something about being on a mountaintop that brings out the prophet in people.
And there is no shortage of prophets here in Davos, or people eager to listen to them.
Today we peered into the crystal ball and tried to determine the shape of the 21st century corporation.
Entrepreneurial spirit
Joe Forehand, our CEO, arrived here yesterday with a message for Davos Man - and Woman too.
We can be pretty certain that most of the corporations represented here this year will cease to exist long before the end of the century.
To survive, enterprises will have to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit within their organisations, creating an environment where their people can innovate.
Joe closed with this thought: it is harder to stay on top than to get there.
You could say much the same about the icy pavements in Davos.
Today was a classic Davos day. Four highly varied sessions ranging from meetings with political leaders to one on advanced medical research.
So much hot air?
Some fine discussions too, both at our evening dinner and at a roundtable I chaired on sustaining growth in 2001.
But is it all just so much hot air?
Well, there certainly is a lot of it about - ranging from the portentous to the downright boring.
There is far more that is stimulating, and dialogue usually a good thing anyway.
Can something more concrete come out of all this? In my view, yes.
The World Economic Forum can be a real catalyst and integrator in addressing serious world problems, such as the diseases that cause poverty.
This is an objective of the Forum Plus programme, which we discussed at the WEF Council at lunchtime today.
Specific action on each of the initiatives has to be reported back at Davos next year. I am hopeful that we can make real progress in the coming months.

That seems like it points to a new TV deal with NBCU, which is big news. The numbers will have a big impact on the stock.
WWE-USA Renewal? Hall Of Fame building announcement?
This is the event where NBCU attempts to sell Ads for the next Television Season of Programming.
Still My Champ
Thanks, surrender.
Big guns are needed more in the UK and continental Europe.
Nikki's guns are plenty big enough
Yeah I'm hopeful WWE renews with NBC. ESPN and Fox Sports wouldn't work long run. Forget who else was rumored to be involved.
I'm not saying they're announcing the TV deal tomorrow (although they very well might as part of a bigger presentation that involves more than just the Bellas), but it points to them probably having agreed to the TV deal already and waiting to announce it for business reasons.
Well, they got Triple H out there to do the presentation as well. I guess that's a big enough gun.
Still My Champ
Thanks, surrender.

A couple of hours after the Labor caucus replaced Julia Gillard with Kevin Rudd as prime minister last week, Bob Carr lobbed a grenade into this country's fraught debate on asylum seekers, asserting that recent arrivals were not fleeing persecution at all but, rather, were economic migrants. This had led the government to conclude, he announced, that ''we need a tougher, more hard-edged assessment''.
Both statements invited a host of questions. What was the basis of his claim? Why was the Foreign Minister, and not the Immigration Minister, making it? When had the government decided that the existing assessment processes needed to be ''harder-edged''?
Pressed for an explanation in the Senate the next day, Carr insisted he was referring to the recent spike in Iranian arrivals, ''which is overwhelmingly middle-class Iranians who belong to the majority religious and ethnic group in that country and are coming to these shores as economic migrants, brought here by people smugglers''.
But as the debate heated up, Carr returned to the broad-brush assertion that all recent arrivals were not what they claimed. ''Just to clarify what I said,'' he told Sydney radio on Wednesday, ''I said that, in recent boat arrivals, 100 per cent appeared to be economic refugees.''
To back this up, Carr cited the case of a recent boatload of 65 Sri Lankans who, he asserted, were not even claiming refugee status. ''They were economic refugees, and we were able to send them back because I negotiated with the Sri Lankan government in December a return arrangement.'' The problem, he told 2GB's Chris Smith, was that those Iranians deemed economic migrants could not be sent back to where they came from because Australia had no such agreement with Iran.
It was then that Smith alluded to one of the problems with Carr's argument: the fact that none of the 22,600 asylum seekers who have arrived since the government announced its ''no advantage'' principle last August have been processed. Would it not be an idea to test his claims by actually processing these people, Smith suggested.
Carr had no answer. The response in the transcript on his website begins: ''[indistinct] … with my colleague the minister for immigration, I started this debate by making some [indistinct] points …''
Carr was not alone in taking the asylum debate in new directions after Gillard's demise. The new PM lobbed a grenade of his own, in the form of the overblown claim that Tony Abbott's plan to turn back the boats was a recipe for conflict, and potentially even armed conflict, with Indonesia. The common denominator was that both were diversions. Neither confronted the real question at the heart of this issue. Is there a better way for Australia to respond to the dramatic increase in the number of people coming to this country by boat to seek asylum?
While Rudd is perfectly entitled to attack Abbott's back-to-the-future formula for stopping the boats, Carr's contribution is more problematic - fanning community hostility to those seeking asylum (who overwhelmingly have been found to have legitimate fears of persecution in their home countries); undermining public support for the immigration program in general; and putting pressure on decision-makers to take a harder line.
It is also internally inconsistent. On the one hand, Carr says the government has concluded the current system for assessing claims is too soft and is producing wrong results. He may be right, but the cabinet has made no such decision and an independent review of the system has not yet reported to government.
On the other hand, he says the existing system has been able to root out those Sri Lankans who have no valid claims and that the problem is that failed Iranian asylum seekers cannot be returned.
What is clear from the most recent figures is that Iranians and Sri Lankans have the lowest success rates under the existing system. In the most recent month for which figures are available, March, the success rate on primary assessments was 65.3 per cent overall, and 83 per cent from Afghans. For Iranians, it was 55 per cent and Sri Lankans 27.3per cent. Seventy-two per cent of cases were overturned on appeal, with Iranians having a 58 per cent success rate, Sri Lankans 47 per cent and Afghans almost 90 per cent.
Herein lies the problem. While overall results are broadly consistent with comparable caseloads in Indonesia, the high overturn rate suggests something isn't right and justifies the independent review.
Bear in mind, also, that these cases all predate August 13 last year, when the Gillard government introduced the ''no advantage'' principle, whereby boat arrivals could expect no advantage over those who chose to have their claims processed in transit countries. While Iranians represent the biggest single group this year, almost 9000 arrivals are not from that country. The breakdown of country of origin up until Friday is instructive: Iran, 4647; Afghanistan, 1827; Sri Lanka, 1706; Stateless, 1468; Pakistan, 913; Vietnam, 675; Iraq, 645; Bangladesh, 492; Sudan, 315; Myanmar, 222; Somalia, 144; Lebanon, 118; other, 94.
The figures suggest plenty of scope for an energetic and able foreign minister to do good work in concert with other countries. The election as Iran's new president of a mild-mannered cleric who advocates greater personal freedoms and a more conciliatory approach to the world represents, for instance, an opportunity to reduce ''push'' factors and negotiate safe returns for those deemed economic migrants.
If Australia was to work towards this end in co-operation with Indonesia and Malaysia, transit countries with large Muslim populations, all the better.
The fact that Sri Lankans are still being found to have valid refugee claims, more than four years after that country's civil war ended, confirms that the winners in that conflict continue to make life hard for the losers. No country is better placed than Australia to pressure Sri Lanka to deliver on the promise of true reconciliation.
The imperative, underscored by the Indonesian President on Friday, is to negotiate a regional framework that doesn't invite the suspicion in Indonesia that Australia is simply trying to offload its problem on to them - one that tackles the criminality of people-smuggling syndicates and finds safer options for asylum seekers than boarding leaky boats.
Tony Burke, the new minister, is one of the government's better performers and would seem up for the task, except that he doesn't have much time or money and he has a swag of related problems to solve. These include demonstrating that ''no advantage'' is a meaningful principle and not just a slogan; making the processing centres on Manus Island and Nauru family friendly (surely a contradiction in terms); deciding whether those who have been released on bridging visas should be afforded the dignity of work; and having a view on whether refugees deemed security risks should be locked up indefinitely.
In recognising that mistakes have been made in the past, signalling that everything is up for review, lowering expectations of a quick fix and eschewing the loose and harmful rhetoric of Bob Carr, he has made a commendable start.

Talk about a low blow.
An actor has filed a lawsuit against Jackass ringleader Johnny Knoxville, TV talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel and radio personality Adam Corolla, claiming the threesome failed to pay him millions of dollars for participating in a cringe-worthy stunt, involving a mousetrap and his mangled manhood.
Perry Caravello filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging he suffered immense pain and required hospitalization last September after agreeing to the genital-snaring action during an appearance on Carolla's morning radio show to plug the 2003 cable movie Windy City Heat.
"Caravello was promised by [fellow guest] Johnny Knoxville that he would be paid $10 million if he placed his penis in a mousetrap," the lawsuit states. "He agreed to do so and, much to his emotional tranquility and to his physical harm, was severely injured when the trap literally went on his manhood." (View the complete lawsuit.)
The plaintiff asserts that he suffered further humiliation and emotional trauma when a clip of the segment surfaced on the Internet without his permission.
Caravello accuses the trio of negligence, fraud and unjust enrichment for not keeping a promise to adequately compensate him for putting his privates in such a painful predicament.
Per the complaint, Caravello entered into a contract in 2002 with Kimmel's company, Dakota North Entertainment, to star in the TV movie and promote it in return for a cut of the royalties. But Caravello contends Kimmel violated that agreement by failing to conduct a proper accounting of Windy City Heat's DVD sales and other revenue.
The cable comedy—promoted as being about "a man caught up in the glamour of being a Hollywood celebrity [who] has no idea that the production he's in is a fake—was directed by Bobcat Goldwaith and featured appearances by Kimmel and Corolla, along with Carson Daly, Dane Cook and Tammy Faye Bakker.
Caravello's suit seeks $10.5 million in general and special damages for the radio incident and alleged unpaid royalties. Reps for Knoxville, Kimmel and Carolla could not be reached for comment.
In semi-related news, Knoxville and his Jackass cohorts are due to unleash a videogame later this year in which players will be able to create their own wacky stunts and keep tabs on the injuries they've sustained. Lawyers presumably not included.

Director-cum-producer Sai Prakash, who has earlier done tearjerker movies like Anna Thangi, Thvarina Siri and Thavarige Baa Thangi, has once again come up with same brother-sister sentiment in Devaru Kotta Thangi. He has done nothing but re-established his cliched scenes, dialogues and situations.
The director seems to have understood the taste of the audience, but not completely. So he has just brought two new updates in his movie Devaru Kotta Thangi. The first thing is the use of graphics especially in the flood scene, which is wonderful. The second is the use of comedy element. There are new scenes that Saiprakash has taken from O Henry"s short story 'The Gift of the Magi' and the fable 'The Little Dutch Boy'.
Earlier, Sai Prakash had said in an interview that he was inspired by 1970"s Kannada classic Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu to do the move Devaru Kotta Thangi, but it is nowhere close to the classic. The first half of the film appears like a documentary on the Indian festivals like Nagara Panchami, Bheemana Amavasye and Ugadi.
Shivu (Shivarajkumar) is poor orphan guy and he works in the village headman's house (Avinash). He has a sister named Lakshmi (Meera Jasmine), whom he loves more than anything else in the world. His master"s daughter Gauri (Monisha) falls in love with him. Meanwhile, the circumstances lead Lakshmi to marry the headman"s third son. What happens next will form the story of the movie.
Shivaraj Kumar, who has earlier played the same role of elder brother, has once again delivered a challenging performance. As his sister Lakshmi, Meera Jasmine has also done very well. As his love interest, Monisha has very less scope to prove her talents, but she has used given opportunity to impress the audiences. Avinash, Hema Chaudhary, Ramesh Pandit, Ramesh Bhat, Vasu and Sooraj have filled lives into their respective roles.
Hamsalekha"s music is unbeatable. The songs on Nagara Panchami, Bheemana Amavasye and Ugadi are good, but other songs fail to impress the audiences. Cameraman R Giri has done his work efficiently.
In a nutshell, it is no wonder if Sai Prakash"s cliched subject in Devaru Kotta Thangi bores the audiences.
Producer: Sai Prakash
Director: Sai Prakash
Cast: Shivaraj Kumar, Meera Jasmine, Monisha, Avinash, Hema Chaudhary, Ramesh Pandit, Ramesh Bhat, Vasu and Sooraj
Music: Hamsalekha

" Brand: ELC / Type: Craft Supplies "
These stencils were bought just before Christmas as a stocking filler for my four year old little girl, the stencils were great value costing £4.50 for a packet of 8 from the Early Learning Centre.
The stencils came packaged in a plastic wrap which once open is no good for storage so we had to find a tub to keep them in otherwise there would be no chance of our daughter being able to find them all. There was a little piece of cardboard in the wrapping stating that these stencils would encouage creativity and help your child learn to write, the stencils are aimed at children aged 3-8 years although I can't see any reason why a child above 8 shouldn't use them.
The stencils are made of hard plastic and each one is about 5 inches square with rounded corners which makes them safer for children, the stencils are yellow, lilac, red, blue, purple, jade, orange and green so the colours encourage your child to want to play with them. The stencils provide a very wide range of things for your children to draw which I was very impressed with for the price,
Red = 6 different vehicles - Sophie was very impressed with this one as there is the shape of an ambulance on it and she loves all the emergancy services,
Green and purple = animals
Orange = shapes to make flowers
Blue = Christmas and easter shapes
Yellow = Geometric shapes
Lilac = the alphabet
Jade = Lower case alphabet
My daughter loves these stencils and she finds them pretty easy to use, the stencils have a small lip on one side which helps little hands to keep them steady. My daughter took a little while to understand the idea of using the stencil to get an outline and to begin with she would just hold it in place and colour the shape in but she has now worked out how to use them properly. Some of the stencils have that many shapes on them that it can be difficult for a little one to hold them still enough as theres not mush plastic between the shapes to push down on. Sophie loves using the letters to write all the names of the people in our family and she loves making pictures with vehicles and animals on them. I think this is a great value set which she has had alot of play out of and there is no damage to the stencils, I would recommend these stencils.
An assortment of 8 different shaped stencils.Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. Age range: From 3 years.

Flowserve, Morningstar and Ocean Spray to benefit from training to improve?workforce
From Staff Reports
Sept. 4, 2008 - Texas Workforce Commission Skills Development Fund Director of Workforce Development Larry Jones recently presented a check for $1,264,845 to Paris Junior College, Northeast Texas Community College and Texarkana College during a ceremony celebrating the creation of the Regional Advanced Manufacturing Academy in Mount Pleasant last Friday.
The academy will serve 14 industries in the colleges' service areas, including three in Sulphur Springs: Flowserve, Morningstar Foods and Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc.
"One of the important roles of Paris Junior College is to serve the business and industry of this area," said PJC President Dr. Pamela Anglin. "This grant represents a partnership between three colleges and industry in this region that will provide training to improve the workforce within this part of the state. We're ready to do whatever it takes to help the region's industry, and we want to share our talent and expertise with those industries to boost economic development. We're proud of the project and proud to be a partner with Texarkana College and Northeast Texas Community College."
The Skills Development Fund program assists businesses and trade unions by financing the design and implementation of customized job training. PJC and the other partners worked for three years to secure the grant.
In fiscal year 2007, Skills Development Fund grants in Texas created or upgraded 20,831 jobs, which paid an average hourly wage of $19.04. The grants assisted 281 Texas employers with their customized training needs.
In Northeast Texas, the grant will assist in the creation of 85 new jobs and upgrade the skills of 624 existing employees.
"This is the most successful grant application we've seen in the past two years," Jones said during the check presentation. "A criterion in reviewing grant applications is for the partnerships involved, and I take great pride in having the three community colleges, industries and the local workforce board involved. It presents a real model for others in the state to follow."
Other participating industries listed by location include:
n/ Paris: Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Campbell's Soup, Sara Lee and Harper Corporate Services
n/ Mount Pleasant: Priefert Manufacturing, Dekoron Wire & Cable, SpeedyMac Fab, and Diamond C Trailers
n/ Texarkana: Alcoa Mill Products, International Paper and JCM Industries.

If we have a War of the Worlds-type situation on our hands tomorrow, blame AMC.
The network is planning a "worldwide zombie invasion" Tuesday to promote its new series, The Walking Dead. Look for the undead to descend upon New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, along with several cities around the globe, including London, Madrid, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Rome and Mexico City.
From a press release:
The planned global outbreaks will center in and around the world's major landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., Big Ben in London, the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul, the Acropolis in Athens and more. They will begin at daybreak in Taipei and Hong Kong, followed by Istanbul, Madrid, Munich, London, Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires, New York City and Los Angeles, among others. Attacking a total of 26 cities, each outbreak will be documented and shared with fans the world over as it happens.
So, in other words, if you see some flesh-eaters while on vacation, don't panic. They probably won't eat you.
The Walking Dead premieres Oct. 31 at 10 p.m. ET.
