Hockey twinbill entertains fans at Belmont complex
It was quite the hockey night in Armstrong County.
The first varsity doubleheader at the new-look Belmont Ice Complex gave the home fans plenty to cheer about, as Freeport came back against Westmont Hilltop to earn a 2-2 tie in the early game before Armstrong collected the first win in its program's history, 8-1, over Moon in the nightcap Thursday.
'Hawks make history
After two close losses to start the season, Armstrong's newly merged hockey program burst into the win column in a big way.
The Riverhawks (1-2-0) scored six goals — four by Christian Miller — in a span of 5:46 to blow open a Class AA game that was tied 1-1 in the waning moments of the second period. Cody Toy, Nick Long, David Contrael and Luke Gross also scored for Armstrong, while Austin Murphy scored the only goal for Moon (0-4-0).
"We ran a tight team game tonight. We stuck to our game plan," Armstrong coach Doug Anthony said. "We dumped the puck in and chased. We had an aggressive forecheck, and I kept telling them when it was 1-1, if we keep doing it, they'll make a mistake and we'll capitalize."
The goals by Toy and Murphy were the only scores of the first period, and the 1-1 score lasted until 2:34 remained in the second. That was when Long found space between the circles, and Miller found him with a centering pass to put the Hawks ahead.
"We had a lot of opportunities that we missed on, and probably three or four off that same play," Anthony said. "But once we got that one, the floodgates opened, and they had fun out there tonight. That was a good team win."
Before the second period ended, Miller scored for a 3-1 lead on a pass from behind the net by Hunter Grafton, who had five assists. Hawks goalie Taylor Smouse made 19 saves to collect his first varsity win.
Freeport finishes level
Freeport vs. Westmont Hilltop is looking like one of the most even matchups in Class A after playing to their second tie in eight days.
Stone Haberstroh scored the tying goal for Freeport (0-0-2) on a short-handed break with 14 minutes left, and Thomas Intrieri had a first-period goal for the Yellowjackets. Adam McQuillan and Ian Campbell scored in the first period for Westmont (0-1-2).
"We needed that goal, for sure," Freeport coach Dave Hepler said. "(Haberstroh) made a nice move, almost got dragged down, but stayed on his feet and made a nice move on the goalie."
Freeport had the edge in shots, 23-21, but Hepler felt his team was even more in command, especially late in the contest.
"Our counter had the shots at 32-21, and I thought we dominated for most of the third period," Hepler said. "Their goalie kept the puck out of the net, but I thought we had more of the play than they did."

I'd thought since I've known about this wiki since I was 9 years old, and I'm finally joining now, I figured I should say a little about myself.
My name is Christina and I'm from the U.S. I live sort of on the east coast. I'm in middle school and one of my number one priorities is Twilight.
I've been watching The Twilight Saga movies since I was 9 years old. I remember seeing the commercials for it on TeenNick ;). How I got into the series was that I was in the 3rd or 4th grade and my friend told me how much she loved Robert Pattinson. I asked who he was and she said he was in Twilight and that it was about a human girl that falls in love with a vampire boy. I knew that Twilight was about vampire, from the "say it, out loud" commercials. I gotta admit, I was pretty scared of the commercials. But it seemed very interesting and I wanted to know more.
I went over my aunt's house one weekend. She is a movie collector, so I noticed that she had Twilight on dvd. She told me a little about it and asked if I wanted to watch it. I said yes. So I sat on the floor in front of a tv screen for almost two hours, watching this movie that a lot of people love. Although, my aunt called it "kind of lame and dull", I was drawn to it.
When I got home, I did some research on the internet. Some things I found was this wiki, the lexicon, and some youtube videos. So I typed in Twilight on google and it took me to the website. And what came up...the newly released New Moon poster! I freaked out. But I was also wondering who the indian kid was ;)
I told my friend the next day about it, and she freaked out too. That day at recess, we all played outside in the field. We were "playing Twilight". I wanted to be Bella, but my friend told me I could be Rosalie but I was like "who is Rosalie?" and she said that she was Edward's sister. I still laugh at that to this day.
Sadly, my friend moved away that summer. But every day I went on the new moon web site to check for updates. EVERY DAY. There wasn't one until August, the New Moon preview about Jacob. I posted it on my old youtube account ;)
November came, eventually. My mom told me that she thought I was too young to see New Moon, so I spent hours looking for it online. I finally found it after 2 hours of looking and I shared the link on facebook. It's still there to this day. The movie was great and I loved it more than the first one.
I'd sort of forgotten about Twilight after that, but every time I went on a premium movie channel, Twilight was all I would want to watch. Although, there was another exception...
I got really bored one day because it was summer vacation, and I couldn't see my friends, so I was pouting like a normal 10 year old would. My mom tried to come up with options of what we could do. And one thing she said was that we could go see Eclipse. At first, I agreed. But then I thought about it and when she was all ready to go, I changed my mind and stood home. That is the biggest regret I have so far.
I was sort of a twi hard in my elementary days, but I was too young to understand it. Like, I thought Bella saved Edward in New Moon because he would die in the sun, I thought Jacob would be harmed by silver.
But then November 2011 came. Breaking Dawn Part 1...
I don't know why, but I was ecstatic the week it came out. I spent hours doing research and watching clips and commercials. I think it was because I wanted to see the wedding and vampire Bella so badly. My mom had agreed to see with my Sunday.
I was at the dentist that day, November 18th 2011. I couldn't wait to see it. So I asked my mom to call the theater. My dentist was telling us about how all the stars were on the red carpet that week.
It was a long day. I sat up in my room, waiting till show time. 7:45, I think it was. When it came, the theater was PACKED. Girls, everywhere. It was so exciting to me an adventure.
When we were in the theater room, people kept on yelling "team edward!, team jacob" When the movie began, everyone screamed over Jacob. The wedding was magical, the pregnancy was terrifying, the birth was "what's gonna happen next?" feeling. And the ending...that's how.
That's how I became a Twihard

QUEENSLAND is making a push for more tourists to drive across the state.
Tourism Minister Jann Stuckey launched the Queensland Drive Tourism Strategy in Bargara, north of Brisbane, on Thursday.
Ms Stuckey said the move would have wide-ranging economic benefits.
"Our regional cities and towns rely heavily on visitation to support their local businesses and this strategy will stimulate the drive tourism market by encouraging visitors to take a driving holiday," she said in a statement.
The strategy arose from the government's DestinationQ Forum held in Cairns last year.
Ms Stuckey said 28 other initiatives had been identified and would be implemented over the next three years.
The government has said it plans to double annual overnight visitor expenditure to $30 billion by 2020.

Design Technology Students experience a high-tech learning environment.
The Robotel software allows the instructor to send their screen to the work station of all students, individual students, or to the projector at the front of the room. It also allows the instructor to view and assist students from the instructor work station. This enables the instructor to work with the entire class or any student requiring extra help – right from their machine.
"This is the first semester that students will have the ability to work together as a group, right from their own machine," said instructor Jeremy King. The software is also in WSU's NIAR lab.
As a demonstration, we recorded quick video clips of students working on projects – right from the instructors machine.

Remembering grandparents who are gone
With more and more people waiting until their thirties and forties to become parents, grandparents are becoming scarce. So helping our children know something about their forebears is more important than ever. Letitia Rowlands shares her perspective.
When my mother was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and told that, at just 49 years of age, she had only six weeks to live, she wept. But her crying was not for herself. No, my dying mother's sadness was for family members who had not even been conceived, let alone born, yet. "I won't get to meet my grandchildren," my mother said to me through her tears.
The importance of my mother's words was lost on me at the time. Aged just 20 and focussed on building a career and travelling the world, children of my own were the furthest thing from my mind. I was beyond devastated about losing my beloved mother, of course, but I didn't realise what my future sons or daughters would also miss out on.
Fast-forward 15 years to when I held my first newborn, my mother's grandson, in my arms and found myself longing for my mum's guidance. It was then that I finally appreciated what a significant relationship my son, and any future children, had been robbed of by my mother's death.
The need for remembrance
My two boys are fortunate to still have four loving grandparents in my father and my husband's mother, father and step-mother. But I still feel a responsibility to share my mother's story with my sons.
I want to let them know what a wonderful woman she was. I want to tell them how she worked full-time to provide for her family, but still found time to be across everything that was going on in her children's lives. I want to explain to them how she encouraged me to chase my dreams and not settle for anything less once I decided what it was I wanted to do with my life. Later, when they are older, I will tell them how she stayed up all night just so I could cry on her shoulder when I was suffering from the pain of a teenage broken heart.
Most of all I want them to know how much their grandmother would have adored them, how much she would have fussed over them and spoilt them rotten, just like all grandparents should be able to.
But I also feel a responsibility to my children to not upset them with stories of death. I don't want them worrying that they too might lose their mummy to cancer, just like I did. I worry about such things enough for all of us, I don't want my boys to lose their innocence dealing with those adult concerns before they have even started school.
What's right for the kids?
So what do I do? How much do I tell them and at what age? These are questions for which I am yet to come up with answers. And it is a dilemma which a growing number of parents with young children face.
The Daily Telegraph this week reported that grandparents were in danger of "becoming a thing of the past" with the increasing age of first-time mothers meaning more grandparents have either passed away, or are too old to help with young children, by the time their grandchildren are born.
Child psychologist Kimberley O'Brien says it is important for parents dealing with this situation to make an effort to teach children about grandparents who have passed away.
"It is relevant to their lives and will complete the picture of their family for them, instead of leaving them with questions," Ms O'Brien, from Sydney's Quirky Kid Clinic, said.
"Children take their cues from adults when it comes to emotions, so it's important parents feel they are ready to have the conversation without becoming too upset themselves.
"Often children just want to know the basic facts about a death, and will not ask any further questions after that. If they do want to know more, there are children's books that explain death in an age appropriate way."
Kimberley says children become capable of understanding the concept of death around the age of five. She says having the grandparent who has passed away included in old family photos around the home will encourage children to ask questions when they are ready.
When the time is right, I will take Kimberley's advice and teach my children about how special their grandmother was. To do anything less would be disrespectful to my mother's memory and unfair to my children.

No, no, honor is due, no need to forget it. I'm trying to grasp

Out of the Dragons' Den Yorkshire entrepreneur Graham Whitby shot to fame when he appeared on BBC2's popular Dragons' Den. In January he was guest speaker at the Inventors Group and entertained a large audience with descriptions of his experiences.
Graham told how he had worked in product manufacturing for 20 years before he met inventor Barry Haigh who had developed a device for rocking babies to sleep. The device comprised a base plate with an oscillating roller onto which could be placed the wheels of a pram or pushchair. The gentle motion produced by the "Baby Dream Machine" lulls the child to sleep. Graham could see the potential of the product and the two of them began working together.
Having applied for a patent they began publicising the "Baby Dream Machine", attending such events as "Venturefest" and getting onto the local "Calendar " news programme. As a result of this they got a call from the BBC in London asking if they would be interested in being involved in a new television show (which would become Dragons' Den).
Graham described the numerous trips to London and the hours spent waiting around before finally getting to present their product to the Dragons. Their presentation didn't go well and he said it was a perfect example of how not to do a pitch. However, because they messed it up it has been shown repeatedly on TV and therefore generated a great deal of publicity for the product! Each time the show is repeated sales of the product shoot up.
Although the Dragons liked the product Graham and Barry decided to go it alone, and have built an international business selling the Baby Dream Machine.
Graham is now developing further products, including an electric temperature control unit for a bath which maintains water temperature at a comfortable level for as long as required.
He admitted that when he began developing new products he had no clear idea of where he was going with them and had no detailed plans in place. This is a common problem with inventors – they often don't know where their product fits in to the market or whether anyone will be interested in them. And yet they are so confident that they have a worthwhile idea that they spend a lot of money on it – sometimes tens of thousands – and keep on spending.
Graham cited a number of challenges to any inventor, such as the high cost of international patents, development costs and the importance of patent insurance to help cope with the possibility of infringement cases. But he believes that selling the product and finding a route to market is always the hardest part.

Work has begun to demolish large parts of the Old Castle Works site which had been branded an eyesore.
A bid has been made for £18m in lottery funds for the development that includes a theatre, arthouse cinema and a cultural exhibition centre.
Carmarthenshire council said it should know by March if its plans had passed the initial funding round.
The majority of the derelict buildings, part of a former tinplate works, are being razed to the ground, although a Grade II-listed tinning house is being retained.
It is hoped a "cultural village", with a mix of commercial and publicly funded developments, will be built in its place.
The council has submitted an application for an £18m grant to the Living Landmarks scheme run by the Big Lottery Fund.
It admitted competition for the money would be fierce but said it had identified £6m in match funding.
It would replace Theatre Elli - Llanelli's existing council run theatre and cinema complex.
Chief executive Mark James said: "The proposals for the theatre complex are part of the overall development of the site as a cultural village.
"This will complete the transformation of the coastline.
"It is a vital regeneration project which will attract investment to the town, create many jobs and we hope provide first class leisure facilities."
The Arts Council for Wales helped fund an initial feasibility study.
There are also plans for a five-screen cinema and bowling alley from the commercial sector.
Mr James said the demolition work was due to be completed within weeks.
"This eyesore has blighted Llanelli for many years - I am extremely pleased that clearance and restoration work has started."
The council was told it would know in March if the scheme had passed the first phase. If successful the authority would be given £250,000 to develop its plans.
"The work is key to our plans to regenerate Llanelli," added Mr James.

We posed that question to our readers, and you responded. A few of your morale-boosting answers:
"We had a department-wide contest to see which team could build the best race car out of office supplies in two weeks. Then we held the double-elimination drag races in our conference room. We called it the 'Staples Stock Car Shoot Out.' There was lots of laughter from participants and spectators. Everybody is looking forward to next year's race." — Misty Gray, Administrative Assistant, Round Rock, Texas
"We've shown movies and served popcorn during lunch hour. Employees bring a lunch or just let the popcorn be their lunch. We show movies two hours or less in length and use lunch hours on two consecutive days, showing half the movie on each day. We have a classroom which becomes our movie theater, and we try to choose a movie that both men and women will enjoy … nothing heavy or serious." — Judy Waters, Executive Assistant to CEO, Institute for Supply Management Inc., Tempe, Ariz.
"Recently, our owner and CFO purchased a Wii for the office. They believed this would help concentration levels (taking a break from the computer, phones, paperwork, etc.) and also make everyone get up and move around instead of being so sedentary during the day.
"The games we play are bowling, baseball, tennis, boxing and golf. Playing doubles in tennis—four people jumping around in our conference room with little controllers in hand—is quite a sight.
"Each day, we also take the 'Fitness Test' which, when finished, will show an age score. We have contests to see who improves their age each day and how 'young' we can get! And we do get our work done, on time." — Susan Hopkins, Executive Assistant, MTB Management Inc., Missoula, Mont.

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say an armed bandit accidentally fired his gun while stealing about $1,000 from the front desk of a northern New Jersey hotel.
Weehawken police say tell The Jersey Journal (http://bit.ly/1hNb4r3) that the man entered the hotel around 2 a.m. Saturday. He was armed with a black handgun, which discharged while he was pulling phone wires out of a lobby wall with the same hand he was using to hold his gun.
The bullet went into a wall, and officers later recovered a shell casing at the scene.
No injuries were reported.
The stolen money was taken from a cash register at the hotel's front desk. The man then walked out the front door and left the area.
He remained at large as of Sunday afternoon.

Senator Bill Nelson in PBC
Florida's senior U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D) is giving the Keynote address at the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches Luncheon on Monday.
Here's some of what he is talking about, from Nelson's office:
Some of the most partisan members of Congress refuse to put aside their political differences in favor of finding common-sense solutions to some of our nation's most pressing issues. This refusal to compromise has Washington stuck in gridlock and unable to pass much of anything these days including much-needed legislation that would fund research into these algae blooms and help communities respond to the toxic discharges from Lake Okeechobee threatening the Indian River Lagoon.
Just days after meeting with experts and local community leaders in Stuart who are alarmed at the situation in the Indian River Lagoon, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) will head back to the area today to speak before the local Forum Club there which he calls "a model of bipartisanship."
The rigid partisans atmosphere causing gridlock in Congress and his proposals aimed at reforming our nation's tax code by closing-special interest loopholes, such as the tax breaks given to oil companies and the pharmaceutical industry, are just a few of the topics Nelson plans to discuss when he speaks at the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches Monday afternoon.
The Florida Democrat is scheduled to speak at noon in the Cohen Pavilion at the Kravis Center, located at 701 Okeechobee Boulevard in West Palm Beach.

The Hall County elections office committed 14 violation of state election law during last year's July primary, a preliminary investigation by the Georgia Secretary of State's office has concluded.
The violations were uncovered following two separate complaints filed in conjunction with the July 31 primary election.
The investigation found that Charlotte Sosebee, the director of elections, and two poll workers violated election regulations by allowing at least one voters to vote twice and that three voters either signed incorrect absentee ballots of failed to sign ballots at all.
The election office was also faulted for incorrectly placing about 60 registered voters into the wrong county commission district, which means those voters would have been given the wrong ballot when they went to the polls.
Sosebee told The Times she was not aware of the investigative report.
"I'm not aware of this," Sosebee said. "I've not gone before the State Elections Board."
The voter who cast two ballots is Shanon Lutz, the wife of Commissioner Craig Lutz. The investigation concluded that Shanon Lutz violated state election law by voting twice. But the investigation also said poll workers Keri Jones and Lewis Martin were liable for Lutz's violations and a series of other violations in this case, including failing to properly review verifiable identification from voters. Sosebee further violated election law by destroying the first ballot application, which had another voter's personal information with Lutz's signature, the report said.
Paul Stanley, the attorney for Craig and Shanon Lutz, said in an email that the Lutzes "encourage Secretary (of State Brian) Kemp and the state Board of Elections to take swift action to restore the public faith in a fair and open election process in Hall County." He said the Lutzes received the investigative report on Thursday.
The email said that Shanon Lutz followed the instructions of Sosebee and her staff at all times.
Stanley's email said the state Board of Election would act on the findings at its meeting on May 14. Stanley was not immediately available for comment.
A spokesman with the Secretary of the State's office said penalties and recommendations are decided on at the election board meetings. He said the Secretary of State's office doesn't comment on open investigations, but the office's website confirms there is a meeting scheduled for May 14.
In the second complaint, voters John and Patricia Lipscomb said they were placed in the wrong commission district. The investigation found that the precinct where the Lipscombs voted had a split in county commission districts and that about 60 residents on Holly Springs Road in Gillsville had incorrectly been placed in District 4 instead of District 3.
This story will be updated.

I'm officially behind on everything: this blog, every blog, to-do lists, returning phone calls, social interactions, personal hygiene. And this is in part because of a very wonderful, thrilling new stress: we are moving! Yes, after looking on and off for two years or something like that we have found an apartment and then we bought it and now we have to do something about getting ourselves in there. Hold on, you say. That's nice, but isn't this a Read Balloon post about books somehow? Stay with me here, yes, I'm getting to it.
So the place we are moving into is a big ole 1950's co-op building with 55 units and some exciting features: elevator, laundry, and tons of kids. We've already been to a birthday party there — there are 10 kids under the age of 3 — and were regaled with tales of intra-building playdates on cold winter days, chase games in the corridors, laundry room toddler jamborees, and holiday parades in the lobby. We're so excited!! It is going to be our favorite and our best!
All of this is relevant because the book Harper and I have been obsessed with lately is Amy Schwartz's excellent A Glorious Day. It's one of those sweetly uneventful books (a friend who was roped into reading it 9 times in a row to Harper was like, "What is up with that book anyway?") that really appeals to small children. Harper loves to read and reread details like what kids have for breakfast, or how they prepare for bed — after all, these are the main events of her life too.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. The book is basically an ode to Brooklyn family life, and this (along with the wonderful illustrations) is why I'm okay with reading it 7,000 times a day. 10 kids (am I counting right?) live in a little 4-unit apartment building, and the book is concerned with all these kids — the baby, the little kids, the big kids — spend their day. They play in their small apartments, they meet up in the stairwells and on the stoop, they stroll down the block to the playground. They flow in and out of each others' lives organically — hearing each other in the bath at bathtime, helping each other locate lost pets, seeing one another at the store on on the street. With all the aspects of city life that seems so unwholesome for growing children, I love a good reminder of what's so wonderful about it — the built-in community, the sights and sounds, the constant stream of interesting stimuli.
Plus, Schwartz's illustrations are so lovable. We've already packed the scanner or I would share my favorite page, which features the bedtime arrangements of all the kids in the buildings and all the various shared bedrooms (another newfound interest of mine) — the bunkbeds next to the crib, the twin beds lined up Madeline-style. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this book, which came to us at just the right time, as all good books do.
Now let's hope I can somehow return it to the library on time. This move has me psychotically scattered, but that's another post. A post I will never have time to write.


text: DUBAI - The central executive committee of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) decided to staunchly oppose any movement to derail democracy in the country. The meeting was chaired by party's Patron-in-Chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and co-chaired by former President Asif Ali Zardari. Former PM Yousaf Raza Gilani, Faryal Talpur, Sherry Rehman and Syed Khursheed Shah attended the meeting. Some viewed the current political situation as PML-N's fault. Bilawal proposed that only dialogue could resolve this ongoing crisis.

Mr. Sesama definitely does believe in standard definition of education. This definition suggests that education is the formal process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills, customs and values from one generation to another. However, at the same time he possesses a distinctive philosophy related to education. According to him, there are two kinds of education. First kind of education should teach children how to make a living. Another kind of education should teach them how to live. In fact, there is no denial to the fact one can use education as a most influential weapon in order to change the way, this world functions. A society of well-educated people certainly differs from a society of illiterate people.
If you want a best and safest learning place for your child, here familiarize yourself with different educational formats offered by Bright Minds:
A pre-school refers to a school for those children who are yet to be qualified for attending kindergarten. In simple words, it can also be termed as nursery school. You may find it amazing but it is true that a child is born ready for learning. A child develops 85% of his personality, intellect and acquires skills by age five. Indeed this phase lays the foundation of his lifelong development. The same fact goes on to highlight the crucial significance of pre-school education. Keeping the same fact in mind, Founder of Bright Minds ensures offering competitive, innovative and interactive educational environment to young children. Children are taught basics well in pre-school so that when they proceed towards primary education, they do not get bewilder.
Primary schools
This phase prolongs for couple of years and lays the foundation for structured and formal education. After the pre-school, a child adapts to educational climate. He is more receptive towards learning and look for diverse ways to satiate his quest for knowledge. This is a phase, where a child can express himself in a better way in comparison to pre-school phase. Providing interactive learning ambiance is extremely essential at this stage. More a child is encouraged to clear his doubts, put forward his query and seeks for clarification, more his basics gets strong. Bright Minds does understand the significance of this phase and hence strive for offering utmost interactive learning climate.
Secondary schools
A child enters into the phase of receiving secondary school education during adolescence period. Secondary school education's format may differ from one country to another. However, key purpose of imparting this education remains more or less similar. Main purpose is to impart the children with common knowledge and to prepare them for higher education. In addition to that, this education phase also provide them with suitable training for in order to facilitate them in stepping into a desired profession.
We all agree to this saying that an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. If you are truly concerned about your child's future, you should never compromise with his education. Bright Minds understands the concerns of parents and value of their hard-earned money, and hence it is committed to provide excellent quality education that caters to pre-school, primary school and secondary school formats.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The efficiency, coutesy & friendliness of the staff. The location of the hotel was perfect for me: close enough to Funchal to visit regularly, but far enough to get away from the crowds. Direct access to the promenade is good.
Early departure - nos staff to assist with breakfast althought food was left. Swimming pool opening times restrictive - closed at 7:30pm, not sure why because it wasn't staffed (indoor or outdoor)
the weather, the room, the food, the staff, the parrott
View from room that was asked to pay for hotel's tourist map
beautiful room (sea side) very rich breakfast staff everytime very friendly and helpful
we recently can to four veiws oasis on a mother daughter holiday, we realy enjoyed our stay and found it verry relaxing, the buffet style breakfast was excellent catering for all needs and more. The hotel staff were verry helpfull and accomadating.
Nice bedroom, lovely pool area, lovely a la carte portugese evening. Very hilly location once out of hotel grounds, very expensive drinks (alcholic) in hotel bars (not good measures either).
We were welcomed by the excellent staff at Reception who advised us of Special Offers in the Restaurants, Hairdressers and Massage. Our room was large and airy. The onsite shop was very handy as there are not any shops in the immediate vicinity.Near the Hotel, at the end of the Promenade, was a sheltered place for swimming in the sea - Beside that was a black sand area surrounded by boulders which formed a sheltered pool for those not into the deep! On the 2nd week of our holiday there was a "Festival Gastronomique" on the Promenade - local Snack Bars and Restaurants served food. Great fun. The air conditioning really just moved the air around rather than refreshing it.
Quiet location One or other lifts out of order for a few days
Fantastic gardens, lovely apartment, good location Patronising front desk staff (apart from the very friendly and helpful Marco). Car park small, difficult to manoeuver round and charged for.
good infrastructure, beautiful botanical surroundings, nice swimming pool area and spa (expensive, but good quality), calm, situated approx. 20 mins from Funchal, nice view over atlantic. would be comfortable to have more than one shuttle bus per day from hotel to Funchal. The restaurants available at the hotel are quite expensive. But there a nice local restaurants, approx. 5 mins from hotel. Round the corner bakery for breakfast.
Just the relaxing atmosphere and the friendliness of the people, the spa was beautiful and the staff friendly.
The gardens n/a
Beautiful setting, lovely gardens, good food, spacious accommodation and good access to walking routes Reception staff could have been more helpful.A residents'lounge would be an advantage and Spa prices were very expensive
Great location 10 minutes from Funchal and the nearest sandy beach in Machico. Really quiet and waking up to those views over the Atlantic is breathtaking. Lovely for couples wanting a romantic retreat!
The garden, the room, the beautiful view over the ocean. kind room- and serving people. none
The garden, the view and the architectural layout
The beautiful garden setting of the hotel with an abundance of flowers and sea view. The village of Canico with bakery, restaurants, supermarkets etc was in easy walking distance. There is a regular bus service from outside the hotel into Funchal. The supply of bathing towels was much appreciated. A hire car made the holiday much more pleasant. We considered that the prices of the breakfast and restaurant meals were high.
The setting, the location, the staff were helpful and friendly
The room was perfect and the view was very good There was a lot of olg germans, no young people at all. I also recomend to make tea/coffee facilities in the room free
The room was comfortable with a lovely sea view. The breakfast was really good with lots of different choices on offer.
The hotel was well organized and I had the change to relax a lot because of the plenty physical body activities. I couldn't find shampoo in the bathroom, there was only one product for body and hair, a four star hotel has to provide nice different products for body and hair.
very friendly and good value for money. Would go again
hotel staff is very competent and very friendly, location for sports activities is great (hiking, mountain biking, gym, diving ...), breakfast is very good
Probably one of the best holiday resorts I've been to. Beautiful location, excellent service, wonderful clean rooms and any facility available that one could wish for.
Hotel location, breakfast and health center. Furniture and plumbing!!! Hotel definitely needs new furniture and renewal of plumbing accessories.
The variety of activities supplied by the hotel. A kitchenette would have been perferred and/or a fridge for our use as opposed to a stocked mini-bar.
sea view, staff service very old furniture, ancient leaking shower in the room, tough pancakes, awful coffee and half-done omelette for breakfasts
The gym/sports facilities are very good. The sauna/spa area is very useful after a day of walking. Swimming in the sea. Breakfast is very good. Facilities are rather spread out and involve crossing public areas.
Perfect location directly on the rocks in the ocean. Great terraces to enjoy sunshine, very clean water, excellent for diving. We had a large and well equipped appartment with superb balcony and the ever best seaview. A place one shouldn't miss.
The rooms are so huge, clean and very comfortable. Facility is perfect....sauna, jacuzzi and pool are perfect.
Position overlooking the sea. All facilities available at sister hotel Rocamar. Use of courtesy bus to Funchal. Location to all local restaurants and public transport In comparison to nearby hotels it is in need of a refurbishment. Supervision in gym and pool area could have been better. The allowing of nude bathing in the sauna was undesirable to which my wife took exception to.
The quietness of the area and of the room overlooking the sea.The swimming pool and the courtesy bus, and the proximity of excellent cafes and restaurants in the area. Joana one of the receptionists was particularly helpful and had an excellent knowledge of the area. A meagre selection of English language TV channels.
Too many stairs
the landscape everything ok
big clean room,lovely view, very good breakfast,helpful staff. very poor buffet at evening meal
Splendid view over the ocean, big hotel but quiet nevertheless.
Pleasant, clean hotel with exellent gym and leisure facilities. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful, only had the one night. Reception staff were slow to resolve mix up over booking, they had us down for a weeks stay whereas we only booked 1 night.
The price and the location! I didn't like the room location (too far away from the restaurnt and lobby) and also was in 3rd floor without elevator!!
- breakfast buffet although very classical - bathroom because recently renovated - kind personnel - very noisy hotel ; no soundproofing - ground floor room with balcony: no privacy hence balcony not used - kitchenette but no serious equipment to cook: no pan, no frying pan for instance - small bedroom - too small twinbeds - old and tasteless decoration as result: after 3 nights, went to another hotel
i was really disappointed from hotel staff at reception, they are totally unhelpful. And also, they have ONLY ONE eletric outlet in every room, even in the room for 4 persons, That´s it really bad.
The room was made everyday even when we left the room quite late The staff is not really kind and it looks like they don't really care, the breakfast was very limited: every morning the same things and not a big selection.If you want an advise don't make any call from the phone in the room: the bill could be exstremely expensive.
great location and amazing view overcrowded breakfast room, awful pillows
Breakfast and indoor are very good. The furniture and of rooms are needed to be renovated. The pillows are unusable.
Easy access to main roads. Quiet. I stayed at room 4211, It was really old furnitured and has to be refurbished urgently; it seemed as unused for many months!
the swimingpool and the view no elevators....and we have a baby.
Relaxed atmosphere in the hotel and the proximity to the local shops and restaurants Distance to our room with suitcases
quiet relaxing. good restaurants by hotel. good breakfast.good value evening meals beginning to show signs of aging
Quiet room, well furnished with spectacular sea view. Reception staff particularly helpful.Fully equipped kitchen, but a pity this was not mentioned on the information provided beforehand. As a result we were unable to make full use of these facilities. Coutesy bus into Funchal.
Location-we had an exc ellent room-staff were pleasant, helpful and efficient No
The hotel is beautiful, the location is great, Umberto the manager was brilliant. the food was a little pricey but other than that it was superb. Only one member of staff was unhelpful even slightly rude, Lourdes Silva.
Good rooms with excellent sea views. Good live bands at night. Coffee at breakfast undrinkable and fairly borderline breakfast
nothing so we didnt stay there on arrival, no water in swimming pool, very cold austere atmosphere and over developed area view of sea was an inch above concrete balcony rate kitchen could be bonus to some.- 5 out of 10
The hotel was very welcoming, informal and big enough to have good facilities (lots of loungers, use of pool sauna steam etc) bu tntimate enough to get around easily. The breakfast buffet was very good with an excellent choice from fresh fruit to fully cooked. I would have preferred a double bed instead of 2 singles pushed together and the mattress was a little soft.
Amazing uninterrupted sea views from the hotel (and hotel room) no food after 10pm
We liked the location and views. Breakfast was good. Car parking was difficult. We would have liked coffee making facilities in our room.
The room was much better than expected.We got a great sea view and much more space than we had expected. No
The place, it was on a very quiet zone, with no huge traffic the bathtub was old and broken. i asked for one double bed and the got me a twin, but the curious was that they put over both beds a coverlet from a double bed. they didn't changed the bed sheets on all weekend. beyond the fact that they put 2 sheets on horizontal on the bed because they are small. the room was side by side with the restaurant kitchen ventilation, so noise is guarantee all day . All facilities like Jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath it's on Royal Orchid and not on Roca Mar, what makes it not very pleasant traveling throw many passageways to reach every one of the announced facilities that it's not on the booked hotel. Will not come again on this one... for sure
Location Acess to restaurant was not always available.
Excellent service, great staff, very clean,
Peaceful and very quiet which is what I needed. Price for a 0.5l of beer was different on three occasions.
The hotel's location close to the ocean
pretty good hotel, very good restaurant cross the street. very crowded area, hard to find parking place. The room was in the low floor with the view on the roof, there were stains on the tile floor - not removable.
The room was very clean but some of the room fittings were tired and broken, eg the safe didn't work, the curtains were very worn, the chest of drawers was missing drawers.
What a view! Though the airport and the expressway are near, you are down the cliff and don't hear them much. All rooms face the ocean and have a view of the desert islands cliffs. The nice tile floors and furnishings evoke "classy beach house." The service is outstanding at the front desk and in the peaceful, lovely restaurant.
Staff friendly and polite Ironing facilities would have been nice.
The sea view of course! The breakfast was very good too. You better had to speak German.
Excellent breakfast buffet. Nice situation close to the sea. the room they had originally prepared for me was a very very small room but upon my request I got a better room with seaview and a balcony.
location and good breakfast, nice room. only one english speaking channel on the tv which was a news channel the rest is ^German.
it was an amazing experience, the hotel is top quality and the service was excellent. The hotel location is perfect. with a panoramic view of the sea. nothing!
Access to the Spa, lovely setting and very nice breakfasts. It might be best to warn English women that there will be chubby naked men in the sauna .....a little unpleasant. In England in mixed sex environments they wear swim-wear
After a very warm welcome from the receptionist our room was clean, lovely view and generally quiet - except for nearbye wardrobe doors which seem to stick. Had typical evening buffet first night. Next evenings ate local fish in local restaurants. International breakfast good. No other English visitors. Pleased we had car. Short transfer to airport on leaving ( despite closeness to airport no aircraft noise). The staff were courteous and polite throughout except for checkout ( I even forgave them for thinking we were German). The check out Receptionist seemed to have an issue with another member of staff and took it out on us - a sad end to a very happy holiday!!
Everything was good, except the things listed in the next point. It is part of a larger hotel chain, every service (except breakfast and reception during weekdays) was available in the main hotel only. I was absolutely satisfied with the other facilities and staff of the hotel chain (Galo Resort) but next time probably I would choose one of their other hotels (Galosol or Galomar) which are more 'centrally' located.
Clean, tidy. nice views, quiet We had only bed & breakfast, but also paid for 1 evening meal in the main hotel - this food was not good. The food in the main Hotel was not tasty, poor selection, very overpriced for what was available, we were very dissappointed. The Pizza restaurant however, which we also eat at (twice) was excellent in service and food.
Quiet, great place to relax, overlooks the sea. Excellent location a little away from action but within walking distance of a range of restaurants.
Almost everything was excellent. The location is so good, that you could forget about anything else. Breakfast, while it was okay, didn't meet expectation comparing to everything else in the hotel. And there is no internet in the hotel, I mean, common, it's 21 century already.
reception closing at 7pm.
The hotel staff is perfect, wonderful sea view, very queit place, good facilities for sports and spa.
Beautifull oceanview from the rooms, quiet place, good breakfast.
Large room with great view. Peaceful location but needs a car. Decent breakfast. Not ot assume all guests speak German! All the paperwork, brochures and staff are german orientated.
A very good hotel (as well as the restaurant), with a beautiful view, and extremely silent: even if it is really closed to the airport, You can't hear a sole plane! Big rooms and very friendly staff. Remember to rent a car: You can go only in Santa Cruz by foot, or use taxis (60€ a return trip to Funchal).
beautiful location, never heard an aeroplane at all, very attentive staff. Also very fair cancellation fee as friends missed connection flight out and had to fly over to Madeira early next morning. Thank you.
This was a lovely hotel. Beautiful rooms, friendly staff and lovely service. I would highly recommend. In contrast to our booking at Quinta Da Penha De Franca everything was as promised on the booking.com website.
Situated in peaceful, relaxing enviroment despite it being so close to the airport.Noise from airport traffic almost non existent. Extremely friendly, happy staff. Excellent food and accomadation. We like everything about this hotel and will not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends. No
Nice location on the seaside with a beautiful sea view. Very comfortable and large rooms. Very relaxing and quite. Good price. Close to the airport. Funchal is a 20 minutes by car.
Very nice small hotel, beautiful rooms all with sea view. Close to the airport and via rapida (you need a car, but in all cases a car is recommended to discover Madeira) and very quiet. Only the pool area is a little bit noisy, elsewhere you'll only hear the sea. The service is wonderful, very individual and custom-tailored. The restaurant is of highest standard at reasonable price. We really enjoyed our short stay. A perfect place to relax, a delightful experience. Strongly recommended!
Professional staff and still naturally pleasent, excellent service, clean rooms. Delicious food in the restaurant. Calm place and relaxing environment (proximity of the airport absoultely not a problem). Definitely great value for money. Some people might find bothersome the fact that some rooms are located on the ground floor.Car is a must if you want to spend more days.
Nice location on the seaside with a beautiful sea view. Very comfortable and large rooms. Very relaxing and quite. Good price. Close to the airport. Funchal is a 20 minutes by car.
Beautiful location, very quiet, good snorkelling by the sea level pool, all staff efficient, friendly and informative.
Simply top class, very peaceful
The location in a small village. New construction. Beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Price was an excellent value. no
superb breakfast. Hot coffee even !!!
wonderful views of the sea, clean, well equipped rooms, air conditioned, excellent outside pool, breakast fresh fruit salads. Good internet connection and you can book shorter times in your room i.e 1hr for €3, staff very courtious and friendly. Not a fan of buffet dinners every night and there's not much else locally for eating out in the evening. No evening entertainment but this could be as it was end of Sept that we went.
The Health Club is very good, wonderful massage. Worth trying. Closeness to the airport is definitely a plus. The air conditioning in the bedroom was not working properly.
Very friendly staff. Immaculate clean room. Good food and excellent breakfast.
Your best asset is your staff. They were unfailingly polite, helpful and friendly. Everything I asked for was obtained. Nothing was too much trouble for them, even to the extent that the receptionist telephoned a number of shops to find something I needed. There was nothing not to like. We have been before and we will come again. Some may criticise the occasional airplane flyover but this was no bother to us.
Simpathy of hotel staff. Lacation close to see side Everithing was paied. To go to the spa, you had to pay, to acess the internet you had to pay. Other hotels in the area are the same price and all is included. As I am traveling in business, unless the hotel chances policy, mainly as internet acess concerns, I will never stay there again.
A beautiful relaxing hotel. Couldn't fault anything. Would definitely go back again.
We found the whole atmosphere to be good. We liked the restaurant staff greeting us and remembering our names and room numbers. My partner has a mushroom allergy and the staff made a point to tell us, unasked, daily, which food included these. The chambermaid was so efficient as to be unbelievable. The food was good considering the numbers catered for. We did speak to one German guest and was surprised that he did not rate the hotel highly. We were thoroughly pleased with the whole experience and would use the hotel again without hesitation and would certainly recommend it to others. We are a friendly couple and perhaps the staff reflected this. No,No,No. Perhaps the hotel could approach the rather surly local taxi drivers.
Good seaside location close to cafe,s and bars, Lack of entertainment during the evenings
.close to the air port and nice place on the mountain
Just one night, at an evening meal when only 3 tables were being occupied, the service was very slow. It took 1.5 hours to have a 2 course meal!
excellent location
Food was good value in the restaurant, but the service a bit hit and miss. The room was large and well appointed. Staff were helpful. The lounge was lovely. Surpisingly little ground to enjoy. Some carpets looked like they needed a good shampooing. There was a small area of mould/peeling paint in above our shower.
Friendly, efficient staff. Comfortable room. Very good dinner. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Free wifi. Good location for local countryside, nature and walks. None
Near the airport and well located to explore the east and north-east of Madeira. Very nice building. Comfortable rooms with free wi-fi access. Good quality of breakfast buffet and dinner. Easy to find following the directions to the golf course. Good value for money
Quiet location, big rooms. Very basic breakfast, but OK for the price.
Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff, good food (not excellent), Mousquito net was not functional
location staff
It is very close to the airport, so that one can take a very late airplane to Funchal.
What I liked mostly during my short stay in this hotel: the views. This hotel is designed to treat the visitors on some great views anywhere you are (the rooms, the restaurant, even the glass elevator offers great views!)
The views of Machico are very pretty. There is enough choice of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel serving local food. The staff were very efficient and friendly. Although the room looked clean it certainly didn't smell so. We had booked for 2 weeks but left after 5 days as we could no longer put up with the drain smells coming up the pipes. I even bought scented candles and liquid detergents to pour down the drains to try and disguise the smell to no avail, we then decided to leave the hotel. Your website says the hotel was recently refurbished but I think they forgot to renew their drainage system! Also, the cleaners don't seem to realise that although they're working, guests are there on holiday trying to have a rest, they seemed to enjoy having loud chats to each other accross the corridors in front of our room doors nice and early in the morning.
central location in Machico, close to airport lacking insulation of noise from surrounding rooms
1) Enjoyed alive music in one of the evening in the hotel hall. 2) Close to the hotel was the peace of sandy beach..3) Close to the airport. The windows shall be cleaned more often - it looks really dirty:(
cheap, quite good breakfast loud, could hear everything from the neighbours, woke up from planes starting/landing at the nearby airport
the view, breakfast
I likes the sea view from my room. The room was cleaned regularly and the facilities were good although basic. The location of the hotel was excellent and we could easily travel around. If the rooms had air conditioning system it would be better because at nights it got hot and the sound of the waves was a problem for sleeping!
great location, next to the beach and close to the town centre. Good views and nice pool. Used by package holiday tour operators. Not much sound proofing, rooms could be noisy.


text: The centaur of the Red Tribe call this ruined fortress theirs. Standing atop a rounded hill, Spearhold has many buried spears jutting out the base of the walls. Dangerous though the spears can be, enemies should fear the arrows. Some say Temuejin, the Second Khan, has so great a supply of arrows in his armory that his archers could volley for three days before exhausting their ammunition.[1] Judging by its name it may be located in or near Valley of Spears.

This ultra-simple sandwich is our take on the signature served at Hong Kong's Australia Dairy Company. Shaved leg ham would add another dimension, as would toasting one side of the bread slices, but we love the simplicity of this straight-up version. It's definitely a case of a dish being greater than the sum of its parts.

Gather all the Java code you can find, filter and sort it to produce a top 20 list of the most inane things people have to put again and again and again in their Java code, and then produce a tag map. Make that the background. At the center should be something that visually symbolizes extreme boredom. Put the red circle with the line through it over that image.

Kahlua Chocolate Trifle
Recipe by Karen..
WOW WOW WOW...I don't know how to describe this...if you like KAHLUA and Chocolate, MAKE THIS! I don't mean to yell, but I can't contain myself :) Several hours of chill time are required, so keep that in mind.
Top Review by Musical Joy
Excellent! I made this for my daughter's Preschool Christmas/Teacher Appreciation luncheon, with one *small* change ---- no Kahlua! No alcohol allowed in the school. Instead, I used caramel ice cream topping on the cake - it was wonderful! I chopped up 3 Nutrageous candy bars and put them between layers (just 2 layers) and on top, along with some Christmas spinkles. It was a hit. It does make a lot -- try it - you'll love it!
See Discussion:25 Reviews 3 Tweaks
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (18 1/4 ounce) devil's food cake mix
- 1 cup Kahlua
- 2 (3 ounce) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix (4 serving size) or 2 (3 ounce) boxes vegetarian instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 1⁄2 cups milk
- 3 cups Cool Whip, thawed
Directions See How It's Made
- Prepare, bake and cool cake in a 9 x 13 inch pan according to package directions.
- Poke holes in cake with fork and pour KAHLUA over top.

Your 100-Year Warranty
Every piece of Saddleback Leather and Mountainback is built for lifetimes of satisfaction. In fact, we believe in our craftsmen, our materials and our designs so strongly that we warranty them against defects in materials and workmanship for 100 years. This warranty applies to product materials and construction under responsible use. Exposure to any harsh chemicals like salt, chlorine or conditioners that result in corrosion, discoloration or a breakdown of integrity of material, or damage caused by dog chewing, pool water exposure, road rash, etc., is considered abuse and will void the 100 year warranty. If your piece doesn't live up to what we said it would, then contact us. or have one of your descendants get ahold of one of my descendants and we'll take care of you.
Is it still functioning right?
The leather is aging nicely with wrinkles, sagging and marks. The buckles still buckle. The flap still flaps. The handle still handles and the rivets are still riveted.
- If NO to this question then our leather craftsmen will fix it up and pay for shipping both ways. If we can't fix it, then we will replace it with the same or similar piece or give you in-store credit depending on the issue.
- If you answer YES to this question, then you now have a good story to tell to the grandchildren when they admire it.
Your 30-Day Money Back Guarantee
Buying online is tough, you can't hold it or touch it or try it on. So, if you get it and it's too big or small or heavy or uncomfortable, then contact us within 30 days and as long as it's in like-new condition, then no big deal. The return shipping will be on your dime. It's just part of the business of doing business online. If you answer NO to any of the following:
- Did you get what we said you would get? The color was what you thought it would look like. The look was fine. The weight was acceptable. The functionality was there. If NO to this question, then, right away contact us. and we'll get you all set for in-store credit for an exchange, or refund you for the product as long as it's in like-new condition.
- Did an accident happen to it? A paint spill, a sticky conditioner was applied, a toddler drew all over it with a pen, a skunk sprayed it, a motorcycle dragged it for miles etc. If YES, then start working on your story, because people will be asking you.
- Did you irreversibly modify it?Burn your name into it, cut off part of it, remove something from it or modify it in some way or in any other way make it so that we can't sell it again for full price? If YES, then eBay may be a good option for you.
- Are you just plain bored of it?You're tired of waiting for it to break in or you want to try something new. If YES, then try trading it for something to someone who will enjoy it. It'll be fun.
Does it seem right to let someone exchange a belt because they gained too much weight and now it won't fit and they want to send back a belt that we can't sell so they can have a different size? What about if someone gets a bigger laptop and it won't fit into their good old bag and now they want to return the old bag so they can get a new one?
A relative of mine, who my sister said that I couldn't mention by name, once told me that he was going to "borrow" an air mattress from Walmart for his guests. I'm not sure if he understood that by doing that, he took at least $50 - $100 out of the bank account of the store and manufacturer because of the cost of receiving, repackaging, shipping back to the manufacturer, storage and then selling it used at a big discount. There's just something that doesn't seem right about that. Legally, I believe it's called fraud. What's the right thing to do?
If you have a question about your leather or canvas, let us know here.
Love 41 Warranty
We're proud to offer select items from our sister company, Love 41, here on the Saddleback Leather website. These items are marked as such in the product description, and do not fall under the 100 Year Warranty. That doesn't mean they won't last just as long, however. Suzette and Love 41 take pride in the outstanding durability and quality of their designs. All Love 41 products are fully warranted against all defects in materials and workmanship for 41 years. If you should have a problem, send it back to us and we'll repair or replace it for free.
Saddleback Leather products are made to last a lifetime, but the warranty does not cover misuse or abuse such as the following:
Like if you take it shark diving in salt water (see video)and a rivet corrodes
Or if an elephant stomps on it and creases the leather
Or if a crocodile bites it (see video) and tears off a d-ring

Species Profile: Fire-eyed Diucon
Fire-eyed Diucon (Xolmis pyrope)
By Emily Diener (Macalester College)
The first bird I ever identified by myself was the fire-eyed diucon. It happened on a nature walk as a group on September 30th, when we each spent about an hour on our own, in solitude, observing our surroundings. I was nestled in a cliff, peering out over the Nothofagus woodland when I spotted a grey bird perched high in a tree. I wrote: "I observed a bird, maybe 6-8" tall, black primaries, grey secondaries, grey tail and head, crazy red eye, black feet, very flat top of crown, beak is black and sharp, chin and throat are white, lighter-colored belly, perched on highest tree branch, by itself, no song heard."
With my journal observations I went straight to the first bird book I could get my hands on and positively identified the species I saw as the fire-eyed diucon. The description in Alvaro Jaramillo's Birds of Chile field guide matched many of my own notes. The fire-eyed diucon is 8" tall, with a distinct flat-topped head and puffed out throat. It has grey plumage with a white throat, red eye, and black beak. Its primaries are black and its secondaries are grey, while the tail is grey with a white outer border. The underparts and breast are whitish-colored. The fire-eyed diucon is generally silent and can be found along forest edges, in farmlands, and in open forests.
I chose this bird for my species profile and decided to build a model to share with the group. I compared my field observations with the description in the book to show how I was able to identify it.

Does The Jersey Shore Have Ghosts?
We've all heard the stories. From Cape May to right here in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, everyone seems to have a ghost story.
So, do you really believe in ghosts? Every skeptic will explain the sounds and the visions as other, more worldly things. But if you believe, you believe. No skeptic will change your mind on that. If you don't, then any ghost story won't turn you around.
I will say this, though. There seem to me to be way too many unexplainable stories out there to just dismiss the thought of ghosts completely, As a matter of fact, I'd have to classify myself as a believer. At least for the most part.
Thee are some areas nearby places that have been reported to be haunted. Hubpages.com says they include Old Tennent Church in Manalapan and Rose Hill Cemetery in Matawan.
Ghostsofamerica.com report ghost sightings in Asbury Park, Belmar and Beachwood. Paranormal Researchers of New Jersey report unusual activity in Point Pleasant Beach, Lakehurst, Bay Head, Lavallette, and Marlboro.
So get the night lights ready. No one seems safe.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello there
what is your age? What is your prescription, that is how near sighted are you? have you had any dilated retinal exams looking for retinal problems? if so what was seen?
you have moderate amount of myopia (near sighthedness). If your retina is healthy, you can expect to have a pretty normal life with good eye sight and minimal problems. It is possible that the strenght of the contacts may need to increase as time goes on but that is simply a matter of updating the prescription. Most people with your level of near sightedness do not go blind due to problems. You should do just as well, Dr. Stevens

Suing the Police Lawyers
Locate a Local Government Lawyer
When Can I Sue the Police?
Most lawsuits against the police are for police misconduct. Police misconduct occurs when a police officer violates someone's civil rights. Victims of police misconduct usually rely on 42 USCA § 1983; this statute makes it unlawful for anyone acting under the authority of state law to deprive another person of his or her rights under the Constitution or federal law. Most claims against police officers arise out of the following police actions:
- Excessive or unreasonable force
- Malicious prosecution
- Intentional false arrest
- Sexual abuse
Most states require victims to first go through all appropriate administrative remedies before they can sue the police. Administrative remedies include the following:
- Reporting the incident to internal affairs division of the police department, and/or
- Reporting the incident to the Department of Justice (DOJ) or a municipality's Attorney General (AG).
Once you have made an appropriate report, most states also require the DOJ, AG, or the internal affairs division to give you a written notice of your right to sue the police.
Police officers may also be liable for their actions under negligence or intentional injury theories.
Who Can I Sue When I Sue the Police?
Most police misconduct suits involve any of the following three defendants:
- The police officer(s) involved
- The municipality
- The supervisor of the police officer(s)
The police officer(s) involved are usually the primary defendant in police misconduct lawsuits. Suing a municipality may be more difficult because of the Government Immunity Doctrine, but in some states this doctrine has been abolished. Supervisors are not usually vicariously liable, and they can only be sued if they were personally involved in the incident or were a direct cause of the incident.
What Damages Can I Receive When I Sue the Police?
If you sue the police, you may be able to collect damages. Generally, those damages fall into three categories:
- Civil Rights Damages - These damages are directly tied to police officer's violation of your Civil Rights.
- Actual Damages - These damages cover physical and emotional injuries, expenses, and costs associated with the incident.
- Punitive Damages - These damages are meant to punish the police officer. Generally, municipalities are exempt from punitive damages.
Are There Any Limitations to Suing the Police?
Some states have "False Charge" laws. "False Charge" laws make it a misdemeanor to knowingly file a false police misconduct allegation or lawsuit against a police officer, a municipality, or a supervisor. If you file a false charge, you can be punished with jail time, fines, and/or community service.
Do I Need an Attorney to Sue the Police?
If you are considering suing the police, or if you think that you have been the victim of police misconduct, you should contact an attorney. An experienced attorney will be able to explain the law, guide you through the legal process, and help protect your rights.

My Wife and I are both into the Killing on BBC. I agree with flashman on the cinematography. The series is so tense, the lead actress works very well in the series.

what day /time is this on?[flickr-photo:id=5353037802,size=m] & Proud member of the Gutter Sistren
Just watched the first two episodes of the crime thriller from Denmark on BBC4 (UK) and very impressed. It's a very dark brooding tale of the investigation into the murder of a young girl in Copenhagen. Twenty episodes that cover a day in the investigation of the case. What really caught my eye was the cinematography, it's beautiful. Everything is underlit and this darkness just adds to the whole atmosphere. Highly recommended 🙂
