No Limit (Armed and Dangerous #1)
by L.P. Dover
Murder. Lies. Betrayal.
I deal with those things every day. My name is Jason Avery, one of the best undercover agents in the country. I have yet to fail on a mission, which is why I've been sent to Vegas. Countless women have been abducted, tortured, only to show up dead in the middle of the night. It's my job to find out which sick fuck is responsible. Unfortunately, every lead sends me to a dead end; at least, until Aylee McFadden shows up at my door.
Aylee is a stubborn, headstrong FBI agent and also one of the sexiest women I've ever seen with a gun. In joining me, it gives us the leverage we need to get on the inside. She fights me at every turn, but soon realizes there's more to me than tattoos and a dirty mouth. I can't get enough of her. Now that we're in the game, we're one step closer to solving the crime. However, gambling with money isn't what the big boys want. They want the one thing I'm not willing to give.
It's a no limit game, and if I back down I lose everything. I will lose her.
First of all, how hot is that guy on the cover?! I had no problem picturing him as Jason throughout the whole book and it made it that much more enjoyable. I mean, he just has the cocky, arrogant look down pat, doesn't he?!
Okay, now that I'm done mooning over the cover model let's get to the story. This was my first L.P. Dover read so I wasn't really sure what to expect but where could she possibly go wrong with an undercover cop and an FBI agent? And character wise, she did an awesome job. I fell in love with Jason's cockiness and Aylee's stubborness from the get-go and couldn't wait to see how everything worked out for them.
Jason has been working undercover in Vegas for the past month when the FBI sends Aylee in. To say that Jason is a total ass towards Aylee in the beginning in a major understatement. You see, Jason works alone and doesn't want the FBI coming in and taking over... But once Jason and Aylee decide it's better to work together than against each other? That's where things really pick up.
To find out who has been killing prostitutes around Vegas, Jason and Aylee have to get up close and personal with each other by posing as a prostitute and a john... And of course spending all that time together ends with them getting up close and personal in the bedroom. I wish I could say that the sex scenes were smoking hot, especially when picturing that cover model, but unfortunately they left a lot to be desired in my opinion.
Luckily, the action and suspense makes up for the lack of heat during the sexy times. Watching Aylee and Jason kick ass totally made this book for me. And the twists and turns definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. Not once did I have a clue who the villain was and that's not something that usually happens to me, so kudos to L.P. Dover for stumping me!
Overall, No Limit was a great read and while I was hoping for a little more at the end, it was definitely enjoyable. I can't wait to see where she takes this series and I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for the next book.

Aside from being a wife and mother, L.P. Dover has written over fifteen novels including her Forever Fae series, the Second Chances series, the Gloves Off series, and her standalone novel, Love, Lies, and Deception. Her favorite genre to read is romantic suspense and she also loves writing it. However, if she had to choose a setting to live in it would have to be with her faeries in the Land of the Fae.

The NHS survey also showed that cases of syphilis trebled and chlamydia cases were rising by more than 1,000 a year.
In 2004, 364 people tested positive for HIV, the highest annual total since recording began in 1986 and there has been an increase for men and women.
However, this could be partly due to changes at sexual health clinics which now routinely offer HIV tests.
This was the first time there has been such comprehensive information on the sexual health of the nation.
Public message
Syphilis cases increased from 51 cases in 2002 to 189 last year.
The under-25s accounted for two thirds of chlamydia cases, however for most other types of sexually transmitted infections the majority of cases involved the over-25s.
Stewart Maxwell, the deputy health spokesman for the SNP, said the figures showed that the current public health message was not reaching the public.
"The Scottish Executive must now urgently review its method of promoting sexual health and minimising sexually transmitted infections," he said.
Health Minister Andy Kerr said the executive's national sexual health strategy, launched earlier this year, set out a range of measures to improve sexual health.
"NHS boards have been allocated funding totalling £4.5m this year, with similar amounts over the next two years to improve sexual health services in their areas," he said.
The minister said the cash was in addition to money already being spent by NHS boards.
He added: "We expect boards to deliver local services within the record investment they have all received."

SARASOTA, Fla. -- A report by an environmental consulting company details issues with two proposed sites for a homeless shelter in Sarasota. But despite this, city commissioners will continue looking into building a homeless shelter at the sites Dr. Robert Marbut recommended.
The Herald Tribune reports that the company highlighted complications of the proposed sites on 1800 N. East Avenue and 1330 N. Osprey Avenue. In particular, for the Osprey Avenue location, a well is reportedly being added to the property to store water treatment byproducts underground.
The report suggests an area around the well would need to be fenced off.
The commissioners have decided to reconvene in 60 days when contractors know more about the environmental issues they'll be dealing with, and how much it will cost.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Family Dollar (FDO) doesn't want Carl Icahn to marry it off into a larger family without ample time to consider the union.
The small store chain adopted a shareholder rights plan Sunday that could deter an acquisition. Management undertook the measure two days after activist investor Carl Icahn revealed a 9.4% stake in the company and said he wanted to encourage Family Dollar to explore strategic alternatives.
Family Dollar fighting back against Icahn. $FDO adopting a shareholder right plan ... aka poison pill. This should be fun.? Paul La Monica (@lamonicabuzz) Jun. 9 at 09:15 AM
According to the SEC filing, the company gave each shareholder a "right" to purchase a unit of one one-thousandth a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, at a purchase price of $300 per unit. In the event that Family Dollar engages in merger or other business combination in which Family Dollar does not survive as a separate entity, each rights holder has the right to receive common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the price of the right. The rights are triggered when a shareholder acquires more than 10% of the company and expire on June 8, 2015.
"The rights plan will help the Board protect shareholders against any person or group gaining control of the Company by open market accumulation or otherwise without paying a control premium for all shares," Family Dollar said in a Monday press release. The company said that the plan "is not designed to prevent an offer to acquire the Company, but rather to allow the Board adequate time to consider any and all alternatives."
The company said on Friday that it "welcomes input" on how it can enhance value in response to news or Icahn's stake.
Family Dollar has seen sales decline as competing dollar stores such as Dollar General (DG) and Dollar Tree (DLTR) have seen sales increase. Family Dollar sales fell to $2.7 billion in the second quarter, according to its April earnings report. The number was $200 million lower than the same period a year ago. Earnings dropped to 80 cents vs. $1.21 per share in the second quarter of 2013.
In response to the results, the company announced that it would lower prices on 1,000 basic items, close 370 underperforming stores and reduce its workforce. Family Dollar shares are down more than 8% since the beginning of the year.
Despite the shareholder rights plan, most investors bet that Family Dollar would ultimately be acquired. The stock rose more than 15% in early trading Monday morning to around $68 per share. A Credit Suisse analyst said in a February note to investors that Walmart (WMT) should acquire the company.
Walmart is looking to attract the small store "fill in" business -- a.k.a. customers who go shopping to grab, say, laundry detergent or other small items at the corner store. Family Dollar is well positioned geographically to help Walmart jumpstart its small store business, according to the note. The analyst estimated that Walmart could pay between $76 to $82 for the company.

917 F2d 566 United States v. Demery
917 F.2d 566
Unpublished Disposition
NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel.
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Adrian Timothy DEMERY, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 89-30256.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted Oct. 5, 1990.*
Decided Oct. 26, 1990.
Before SKOPIL, O'SCANNLAIN, FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.
Adrian Timothy Demery appeals his sentence of ten years' imprisonment for distributing, and possession with intent to distribute, a substance containing cocaine base ("crack"). Demery claims the statute under which he was sentenced violates his due process and Eighth Amendment rights. We reject these claims and affirm the district court's sentence.
In early 1989, Demery was arrested and charged with six counts of cocaine base ("crack") offenses. Demery moved to dismiss the charges, and argued that the term "cocaine base" in the applicable statute was unconstitutionally vague in violation of his due process rights. The district court denied the motion.
Demery pleaded guilty to Counts IV through VI on June 6, 1989. At sentencing, he renewed his motion to dismiss on the same grounds and presented additional evidence that the term was vague. The district court again denied the motion and sentenced Demery to ten years' imprisonment for Counts IV and V, and a consecutive term of five years' imprisonment for Count VI. These are the mandatory minimum sentences under the applicable statutes, 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1) and 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(c). The government dismissed Counts I through III.
Demery now appeals his ten-year sentence on Counts IV and V. He again asserts that the terms "cocaine" and "cocaine base" are unconstitutionally vague in 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1). He claims this violates his due process rights by providing insufficient notice of prohibited conduct and allowing unfettered discretion in prosecutors.
Additionally, Demery claims that the mandatory minimum sentences for "cocaine base" offenses are disproportionate to the mandatory minimum sentences for "cocaine" offenses. He asserts that this is a violation of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
The district court had jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3231. We have jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3742(a).
We review de novo a claim that a statute is unconstitutionally vague. United States v. Van Hawkins, 899 F.2d 852, 853 (9th Cir.1990). We also review de novo questions of law which implicate constitutional rights, such as Eighth Amendment challenges. See, United States v. Bohn, 890 F.2d 1079, 1080 (9th Cir.1989).
A. Due Process
A criminal statute is not void for vagueness, and thus does not violate a defendant's due process rights, if it meets a two-part test. First, the statute must define the offense "with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited." Second, the statute must not "encourage arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement." Kolender v. Lawson, 461 U.S. 352, 357, 103 S.Ct. 1855, 1858, 75 L.Ed.2d 903 (1983).
We recently applied the test in United States v. Van Hawkins, 899 F.2d 852 (9th Cir.1990), and determined that 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841 is not unconstitutionally vague in penalizing cocaine base trafficking. Demery has presented nothing in the present case which warrants a different result.
His due process claim must, therefore, fail.
B. Eighth Amendment
We have upheld the general constitutionality of 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1) against claims that it violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. See, e.g., United States v. Hoyt, 879 F.2d 505, amended on other grounds, 888 F.2d 1257 (9th Cir.1989); United States v. Ramos, 861 F.2d 228 (9th Cir.1988). However, those cases involve the statute's application to cocaine salt rather than cocaine base.
Here, Demery argues that the specific cocaine base penalties are grossly disproportionate to the cocaine salt penalties, and that this is unconstitutional. We recently rejected this disproportionality argument as well. In United States v. Malone, 886 F.2d 1162 (9th Cir.1989), we said:
[Defendant] contends further that the statute is unconstitutional because it treats irrationally 50 grams of cocaine base as equivalent to five kilograms of cocaine. Congress chose a "market-oriented approach" to sentencing in this statute. We have upheld the constitutionality of this approach.
Id. at 1166 (citing Hoyt ).
While, in Malone, we did not specifically state that we found the statute met Eighth Amendment standards, that was surely implicit in our decision. Moreover, other circuits have upheld the disparate cocaine and cocaine base sentences against Eighth Amendment claims. See, e.g., United States v. Buckner, 894 F.2d 975, 980-81 (8th Cir.1990) (justifying the more severe penalties for cocaine base on the more serious nature of that drug); United States v. Cyrus, 890 F.2d 1245, 1248 (D.C.Cir.1989) (stating there have only been three recognized instances of disproportionality rising to the level of an Eighth Amendment violation, and this statute does not rise to the same level of gross inequity).
Thus, Demery's Eighth Amendment claim fails as well.

Way back in them thar Olden Days, when folks done for themselves through hard work and perseverance, and were proud to stand or fall on their own account, and ne'er relied on none o' that government intervention nonsense, there was this little ol' house full o' wee young 'uns, who came there 'cause they were street urchins and orphans and didn't have no home of their own or family to take care o' them, so they took care o' themselves, and wouldn't even accept no charity. These little ragamuffins called themselves The Jolly Entertainers, and they showed folks in every little town in the U.S., and even the wilds of Canada, just what they were made of.
The Jolly Entertainers was the brainchild of Herman Mainard Draper, born in Rainham Centre, Ontario, Canada, in 1856 (or so, depending on the source). He was the son of a preacher, and had eight brothers and sisters. The family moved to nearby Welland, Ontario, and later to Battle Creek, Michigan, while Herman was still a young boy. (Eventually he would become a naturalised citizen of the U.S.) He studied music at the Boston Conservatory of Music, and also earned a certificate from the Tonic Sol-Fa College in London, England. Tonic sol-fa was a simplified method of reading music, and came in handy when Draper started teaching children music.
On September 18, 1878, Draper married 20-year-old Annie Pacey of Port Stanley, Ontario, a small town about 200 miles from Battle Creek. Herman was living in Stratford, Ontario at the time of their marriage, which took place at the Pacey residence in London, Ontario. They had two sons, Harry, born 1880 in Battle Creek, and Cecil, born 1882 in London.
|1890s: Herman and Annie Draper, with their two sons Harry and Cecil, and adopted niece, Edith, who was to become one of the original Jolly Entertainers.
When Annie's sister Edith died of apoplexy in 1894, she and Herman took her little girl, also named Edith, into the family.
In the late 1890s, the Drapers moved to Calumet, Michigan, where Herman opened a music store and taught voice and various instruments wherever he could. He gave up the store in 1903 to take a job as superintendent of the Good Will Farm and Home Finding Association, a shelter for homeless kids.
While there he organised the Jolly Entertainers, a 7-piece children's musical group. They played wherever they could be heard, including street corners, according to an early newspaper write up from July 19, 1907: "From East Broadway in the vicinity of the city hall last evening came the sounds of music, and on closer investigation by several hundred persons, it was found that the melody was being produced by five pretty little girls and two attractive, manly-looking boys. Two of the girls played cornets, two were bringing sweet strains from alto horns and the fifth played a baritone horn. The larger of the boys played a tuba, and the other industriously beat a snare and a bass drum.
The children made a hit with their music, and when they began selling postcards, telling who they were and what their object was in playing on the street, they couldn't begin gathering the dimes fast enough."
|Postcard, 1907, letting folks know that the Drapers, as well as the Jolly Entertainers, are moving to Seattle. Below: They've arrived.
On the way they bought the chassis of a truck in Chicago and built the prototype of a mobile home on top of it. The children cut their teeth on the road, performing daily. They played at the newly-opened Orpheum Theatre in Rockford, Illinois: "The bill at the Orpheum for the first three days of the week is one that will fill the theatre at each performance. Draper's Jolly Entertainers are one of the features of the bill, and at the performances yesterday were given the highest honors. The little folk are good entertainers on the stage, and have a prettily arranged act of songs and dances. Before the performances the entertainers give a band concert and are certainly clever instrumentalists."
|Postcard, from a photo taken September 11, 1909. The industrial home -- and the band -- was growing rapidly.
But the roads in Montana, being too crude and muddy in those days, forced the family to travel by train the rest of the way, including their odd vehicle, which was loaded on a flatbed.
|Few of the Jolly Entertainers' ads included a photo of the troupe. (From the February 23, 1914 edition of the Oregon newspaper, Ashland Tidings.)
|The Children's Industrial Home, Des Moines, Washington, home of the Jolly Entertainers for 19 years.
|Playground at the Industrial Home, back in the days when playgrounds weren't shut down just because some kid skinned his knee.
|Postcard, 1910. The kids must have had fun printing all these postcards. It's a good thing they did, otherwise we might not know their band ever existed.
|Perhaps their most ambitious printing effort, a small (6" x 4") book, 92 pages. Small press publishing at its finest. The price was steep, but the cause worthy.
|Claire and Neva Stitt, ages 11 and 9, "The Two Youngest Soloists in America".
Draper was convinced he and his wife gave the children all the love, care and fostering they needed. One of the home's fold out cards stated: "We have no children to give away or place in homes. This is their home and here they remain until they grow up and want to leave."
|Flyer, circa 1912
|Folded postcard
Their concerts seemed to be successful, if not financially, at least critically. Attendance was good, and sometimes houses were packed, and always to appreciative audiences, as the many newspaper reports (often nothing more than a paragraph) attest. An excerpt from a 1911 newspaper article describes in some detail one of their earlier shows (with some typos corrected):
The program was a continuous play and was pronounced the best ever given by these little folks.
The first was a scene on the street. A bunch of children on their way to a picnic are met by Uncle Josh, who is persuaded to go along. They are followed by Happy Hooligan and Gloomy Gus, who also go to the picnic and get "filled up."
Scene 2 is the picnic full blast, children swinging, skipping, playing ball, boxing, etc. Uncle Josh is there, according to agreement, gets dumped out of the swings and has a general good time. Happy and Gloomy are the biggest toads in the puddle and the only break in the festivities is the appearance of a cop who attempts to arrest Happy, but the tables turned on him. Scene 3 finds a host of people buying tickets for the "big show." Scene 4 is the big show, given by the Lilliputians and it certainly is a "Big Show." This part of the program is made up of the most catchy songs, beautiful motions and poses, marches, graceful dances and the most laughable vaudeville ever presented on a Port Townsend stage by young performers.
The company will remain over and give another program tonight with an entire change of bill.
The price for the evening show: 35 cents general admission, 50 cents for reserved seats, and 15 cents for children under 14.
No venue left untrodden, they even performed for a Washington chain gang in 1910.
When the children grew up, some left the home, but others stayed on. A fella named Lloyd Sawner became the stage manager for the Jolly Entertainers, arranging lights and special effects for the shows. Julia James, nine years at the home, became a band leader, helping to rehearse the kids.

sol-R coded beads: making light work of ELISA
TTP Labtech's coded beads represent a range of reagents for the quantification of secreted protein in multiplexed screening assays. Designed for use with TTP Labtech's mirrorball fluorescence cytometer, sol-R™ beads are set to revolutionise the immunoassay workflow.
- up to 5 multiplexable bead codes
- no-wash, mix-and-read protocol
- screening-friendly price point
There are many reasons why gold standard immunoassays are not widely utilised within a screening environment including: multi-step protocols that are complex to automate, restricted throughput, limited multiplexing and high screening costs.
Remove these limitations with TTP Labtech's sol-R coded beads and watch your costs go down and your productivity go up.
sol-R streptavidin (SA) coded beads
TTP Labtech's sol-R SA colour-coded multiplexed beads exploit the high affinity interaction between streptavidin and biotin for immobilizing biotinylated antibodies, or target proteins.
A typical assay workflow for sol-R SA beads begins with the separate immobilisation of individual biotinylated targets to individual bead codes. Individual codes are subsequently combined, then dispensed into an assay plate with detection reagent and sample.
bead preparation
sol-R™ no-wash screening protocol
example assay: antibody screening
For antibody screening, multiplexing of target specificity and selectivity binding protocols enhances productivity through the combination of 3 assays into 1, saving time, consumable costs and conserving precious sample (just 10 μL required for 384-well assays).
sol-R carboxy (COOH) coded beads
A typical sol-R COOH bead workflow begins with the separate covalent coupling of individual antibodies or target proteins onto individual bead codes using simple carbodiimide coupling chemistry. Coated beads are stable and therefore may be prepared in sufficient quantities to supply your entire screening campaign. Individual codes are subsequently combined, then dispensed into an assay plate with detection reagent and sample, or stored for future use in subsequent screening runs.
example assay: cytokine quantification
Combination of anti-IL6, anti-IL8 and blank beads in a no-wash assay format offers a significant process improvement, versus traditional ELISA for consumable cost savings and protocol step reductions that result in free time and budget for additional tasks.
bead preparation
available sol-R™ kits
Any combination of codes 1-5 may be brought together into sol-R™ bead kits. Kits are optimised for 384-well plates but protocols for 96-well and 1536-well plates are also available. TTP Labtech's sol-R beads may be purchased in volumes for dispensing into 1, 5, 20, 50 & 100 assay plates.

General Motors is recalling 2,100 Chevy Cruze sedans from model year 2011, after a steering wheel on one vehicle came loose because it was improperly installed. If this occurred while the vehicle was being driven, it could lead to a crash. No injuries or accidents have been tied to the steering issue.
GM reported that it has inspected some 2,000 Cruzes at manufacturing plants but has not found similar problems. In March, GM issued a notice to dealers asking them to inspect unsold Cruze vehicles, according to the Detroit News.
Chevrolet Cruze owners will be be sent recall notices by mail on April 12. Affected vehicles can be brought to dealerships where they will inspect the steering wheel fastener bolt and repair, if necessary.

Kirkleatham is a village in the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is located approximately 4.5 mi (7.2 km) north/north-west of Guisborough, and 3 mi (4.8 km) south of Redcar, near the mouth of the River Tees. Instead of a village, Kirkleatham could be classified as a collection of buildings that formed the Turner Estate, named for the Turner family who lived at Kirkleatham from 1661. Kirkleatham has one of the best collections of Georgian-style buildings in England.
From 1894 until 1932, Kirkleatham was part of Guisborough Rural District. In 1932 it was divided between Guisborough Urban District and Redcar County Borough. Historically, it was an ecclesiastical parish in the Langbargh Wapentake.
Kirkleatham is the birthplace of Sir William Turner who was Lord Mayor of London in 1669. He gave most of his fortune to found the Sir William Turner's Hospital in June 1676. In present day, it is an independent almshouse. Turner bequeathed a substantial amount of money to his great nephew, Cholmley Turner, a member of parliament for Yorkshire, 1727–1741, to establish a Free School, built in 1709, that now serves as the local museum. His estate established for the care of 40 people: ten old men, ten old women, ten boys, and ten girls. The office of governor or governess falls upon the owner of the estate. Management of the estate was the responsibility of a chaplain, a master, and a mistress.[1]
Cholmley Turner added other Grade I listed buildings, the most notable being the Turner Mausoleum, in memory of his son, and adjoining the Church of St Cuthbert. It is a Grade I listed building on Kirkleatham Lane. The mausoleum was built in 1739–40 by James Gibbs, and restored with added internal cladding in 1839. Entered from the church, it is of Baroque style and of an octagonal plan with south and south-west sides that adjoin the church. It is a single story with a basement burial chamber. It contains the inscription, "This mausoleum was erected 1740 to the memory of Marwood William Turner Esquire the best of sons." Cholmley Turner also retained the architect James Gibbs for building of the chapel at the almshouses.[2]
Cholmley Turner's nephew Sir Charles Turner, 1st Baronet, of Kirkleatham, MP for York from 1768 to 1783, continued building upon the estate. His achievement included remodelling Kirkleatham Hall, as well as providing for the further development of the hospital, school, and a library. He also built the adjoining village of Yearby.[2]
In 1894 Kirkleatham became an urban district, but was annexed by Redcar in 1899, after just five years as an independent authority.

Union 'discontent' over Labour
The government faces a conference season of discontent unless Labour opens up a "real dialogue" with the trade unions, the general secretary of one of the UK's biggest unions has warned.
John Edmonds, of the GMB, fired the broadside a day after the rail union RMT voted to scrap traditional allegiances, worth £44,000 to 13 constituencies, including heavyweight Labour MPs including John Prescott and Robin Cook.
On Thursday the Communication Workers Union is voting at its conference on whether to retain links with the party.
Mr Edmonds is reportedly channelling his union's contacts with the government through Chancellor Gordon Brown in protest at the antics of Downing Street's "spin machine".
He said the general problem between the two sides was over employment law and the rights of working people.
'Venting of anger'
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Unless we can open up a real deep dialogue between the trade unions and the Labour government during the summer, it is going to be a very difficult conference season and a very difficult Labour party conference."
"Certainly we share the concerns of other unions. Our members are starting to feel distanced from the party."
The union still considered Labour its party, he said, but: "We are beginning to feel that we are not being listened to, particularly on employment law ... We are still a long way short to get the changes that we get to make this country comparable with the rest of the world."
National interest
Chancellor Gordon Brown was dismissive of the growing split between unions and Labour.
"That is a matter obviously for this union. The decisions that we make as a government, will always be decisions that we will make in the national economic interest," he told Today.
"We will not make decisions for sectional interests or because one union says its got to have this or that."
The union also gave approval to a measure which will scale down its affiliation level to the party from 56,000 members to just 10,000.
Speaking after delegates voted for the changes at the RMT conference in Southport, Mr Crow claimed Labour had betrayed working people and had failed to renationalise the railways.
'Cash and delivery'
Delegates voted to switch their allegiance from the likes of Mr Prescott to a fund available to 14 left-wing MPs, including Diane Abbott, Jeremy Corbyn, Ann Cryer and Brian Donohoe.
But not all MPs offered the funding accepted it.
Labour's Gwyn Prosser said: "In the case of the RMT, they have changed the rules and they effectively want MPs to sign up to a specific charter and specific lists of policies so that is far too close a link between cash and delivery."
Clive Soley, former chairman of the Labour Party, said he was "fairly relaxed" about cutting financial links with the unions, stressing that state funding was the only safe way to go.
'Loss of influence'
"The Labour party has tried taking money from the trade unions. We have tried to take it from business. We publish all the lists and make it all above board and we still get blamed.
"I have been saying for some time we need to have state funding."
Labour's Tom Watson, a former official for the engineering union AEEU, said unions that cut their ties with the party "usually ended up in the wilderness and lost their influence".

DP WorldMohammed Sharaf | Jan 12, 2009 2:23PM EST
The last year has seen a sea change in global economic fortunes. Clearly, the supply-chain industry is not immune. But looking forward, analysts continue to predict solid growth in both the percentage of cargo that is containerized and in throughput. This is a testament to the power of the containerization movement and the uniquely robust nature of the port operating business.
Despite the strong possibility of a global recession, port capacity is still very much a concern, for the short and the long term. Drewry's forecast 8.9 percent annualized growth in container volume from 2007 to 2013, with just a 5 percent increase in capacity over the same period, based on confirmed infrastructure investments. The highest levels of economic growth are expected in the emerging economies such as those of South Asia, Africa, the Far East and the Middle East, which will likely lead the world out of the recession.
The pinch of recession is compounded by new threats to global security and the environment, to which attention cannot be deferred. Our approach to security is much the same as our approach to business: We are in it for the long term and, as such, do not make far-reaching decisions with respect to the implementation of new technologies and equipment without being absolutely sure the plan is feasible and adds to both the efficiency and security of the entire operation.
Port operators have the fortune and privilege of being a growth-facilitating industry: By doing what we do best, port operators grease the wheels of international commerce, making it easier for economies to rebound from difficult times.

Calamities Do Not Necessarily Equate to Loss of Business
The latter part of the year means it is rainy season for a specific part of the globe, which is where majority of the outsourcing companies are located. We have previously written about the blackout in India and it relays the recent issue about India's electric consumption being over the top and causing alarm to both residents and businesses in the country, primarily those who engage with international businesses like that of the outsourcing industry. But it is not only the power shortages that companies should prepare for because there are also natural calamities that may happen which can also […]Read more
How to Reduce Volume of Calls and Increase Customer Advocacy
As a contact center services provider, a company must have a specific format on how to keep track of the performance of their employees and at the same time their business. The matrix must be able to determine whether their current work processes could affirm that it can yield positive results for them. Outsourcing companies rely on their call center outsourcing agents to deliver a reasonable amount of productivity and it is often measured according to the metrics and standards agreed upon by the solutions provider and the client before the project commences. Employee training contributes a huge deal to […]Read more
BPO Industry Remains Strong, Growth Expected Ahead
The outsourcing industry has been widespread across the globe and it seems that there is no stopping this industry that has helped businesses to get things done at an amount that is not heavy on the pocket. One of the popular services that businesses seek within the outsourcing industry is the solutions offered by contact center services providers. Given the success of such service, it is unlikely for the industry to not have detractors. There have been companies and key individuals or groups who are against the idea of outsourcing.

How A Contact Center Can Help Your Business
Call center – two words that actually bring India and the Philippines to the minds of those who are familiar with the outsourcing industry and get them to think of the wide range of solutions that they can do with a call center outsourcing service provider. However, as for others who are unfamiliar with the industry, they would probably view call center as just simply a provider of customer service solutions. Many contact center outsourcing companies today have already expanded their service offerings and developed innovative solutions to interested companies, which no longer limits them to approach companies who are […]Read more

On the surface, the recruiting class of 2013 looks like a fun class. It has a little personality in the form of No. 5 Chris Thomas (Denver/Westwind Prep) and No. 4 Chris Walker (Bonifay, Fla./Holmes). It's also flush with top-tier talent.
Julius Randle (Dallas/Prestonwood Christian) began the season as our No. 1 player and has maintained his spot through this spring. Randle needs to be on his game because in the rearview mirror and charging fast is the son of a former NBA player, Jabari Parker (Chicago/Simeon).
The race for No. 1 could turn into a three-man competition by summer's end, or maybe an even bigger contest. Nerlens Noel (Everett, Mass./Tilton School) should be included in the conversation, as his offense is quickly catching up to his defensive prowess.
For now, we've tabbed Randle. The Texan is a cross between Caron Butler and Marvin Williams. He's a driven young man, the type who doesn't seem content to rest on his ranking. Parker is the same way. He's the most cerebral elite player we've seen. His changes in diet and workout have allowed his body to tone up and, in turn, his game to expand. Do not be shocked if he becomes No. 1 in this class. Our staff needed a straw poll to settle the score this time around; it was that close.
If you like twins, meet the Harrisons. Andrew Harrison (Houston/Travis) is the top-ranked point guard in the class. His brother, Aaron Harrison, is the No. 5 shooting guard; both are top-20 prospects.
Andrew Harrison's running mates at the point are talented players. Anthony Barber (Hampton, Va./Hampton) is a jet. If it's a speedy game, there might not be a player in his class who is faster. Nate Britt (Washington/Gonzaga) is cut from the mold of a classic point guard. How's this for lineage? He's the fourth D.C. Assault starter who will be a high-major player. Nolan Smith (Duke), Tyler Thornton (Duke) and Quinn Cook (Duke) were his predecessors.
The shooting guard position is exciting. Thomas is the best bucket-maker in the class. Keith Frazier (Irving, Texas/Irving), Jabari Bird (Richmond, Calif./Salesian) and Brannen Greene (Monroe, Ga./Mary Parsons) round out the top five.
Right behind Parker at the small forward position is Troy Williams (Hampton, Va./Kecoughtan). Like Parker, he's a thinking man's forward with a stroke and balanced floor game.
The bigs aren't too shabby, either. Randle, Noel and Walker would rate high in any class. Will this group be able to rally and follow in the footsteps of its 2012 counterparts? Stay tuned.

Costa Maya Beach Club
What to do in Costa Maya (or Mahahual)? Easy enough...We found a true beach club called NoHoch Key about a 5 minute ($6) taxi drive into Mahahual! For $40/pp it was all you can eat and drink....and were those Shrimp Tacos and ceviche ever good. Jaime, the host, works constantly to keep his beachclub hopping. It is small and reminds me of the setting for a Corona Commercial...it is idyllic and off the beaten path by 5 minutes! Never once did We put down a libation when another one appeared......5 star service all afternoon..for everyone there. Many of the members of the crew went there for their time off...a most popular place. There were taxis always available and the ride back to the ship is only $2/pp!!! Put this place on Your bucket list...It is a must to try. You can find them on the internet...if you're interested!!
Bon Voyage,

How do I use languages and anthropology to gain the right job?
For the past 12 years I have been working for a British airline, but the atmosphere has changed dramatically in the past 12 months and I am now deeply unhappy at work. I feel I am subject to constant intimidation from managers and have taken part in legally sanctioned industrial action, which seems to have had little effect.
I speak four languages fluently and have an MA in anthropology, which I completed while working. I earn in the region of £20,000 a year, and am now searching for new employment.
I do voluntary work for charity on a regular basis, but it seems most charities have few paid positions and I have been unable to even secure an interview. To make matters worse my employer only issues generic references, which seem to give minimal details of what I actually do.
I am looking to change career to something that is worthwhile, but I am really stuck at the moment.
The person best qualified to understand exactly what it is you do and how it could be applied to other jobs is, of course, you. From your letter alone, it's hard to make out where your special skills lie. I doubt if they're specifically airline-related.
Your languages should certainly be useful and so should your degree in anthropology – but the value of both is also part of your problem. They both have almost limitless potential. Anthropologists can be found working in communications, in teaching, in human resources, in management, in marketing: the list is endless. This makes it extremely difficult for you to know where to start.
Putting your two most demonstrable qualifications together, teaching languages becomes an obvious candidate – but you must have thought of that. I suggest you do a ruthless self-audit, based on your work over the past 12 years, and mark your potential usefulness to different kinds of potential employers out of 10.
Be quite tough on yourself. Then settle, at least temporarily, for one quite clear direction and write as persuasive an advertisement for yourself as you can. If it feels good to you, it's almost certainly worth pursuing.
With so little else to go on, I can only hope that other readers, perhaps with language skills and/or anthropology degrees themselves, may have more inspired ideas.
I need to regain my confidence after a terrible interview
I work for a very large British company. This time last year I secured a six-month secondment to another department within the company. I have been in the new department ever since, moving from project to project on the recommendation of my boss.
Recently a permanent job was advertised in the department, which I got an interview for. My performance in the interview was, to say the least, abysmal, and I in no way expected to get the job afterwards.
When my boss eventually told me I hadn't got the job he also said that he was now questioning all of my work so far and, more or less, questioning whether I should be in the department at all. I have never been questioned about my work by my boss, or any other boss in the department.
In fact, I thought I was doing well and that my hard work was being appreciated. I am very upset by this. I feel like I have shot myself in the foot by performing badly in the interview and didn't realise it was not just the permanent job that was on the line.
I feel I am not wanted in the department and feel all the excellent work I've put in so far has been spoilt by a bad interview.
I'm guessing, obviously – but this is what I suspect has happened.
It wasn't your boss who interviewed you for the permanent job, but other (and perhaps more senior) people with whom you'd never worked. By your own admission, your performance at this interview was abysmal. Since this was the only encounter these interviewers had with you, they had no means of knowing that your interview performance was far from typical. They made no allowances and judged you entirely on this one experience. And the experience, for them, was dire.
From the fact that it was your boss who told you that you'd failed to get the job, it's clear that the interviewers had informed him first of their decision and why they'd made it. Because your performance had been so dismal, they'll undoubtedly have expressed some bewilderment that you'd ever been thought a serious candidate. In other words, implicitly – and perhaps even openly – these fairly senior figures were questioning your boss's standards and judgment.
All this rattled your boss a bit. He certainly wasn't going to suggest that they'd made a mistake. A more confident person might have taken the opportunity to testify to your ability and tabled as evidence your successful handling of all those projects he'd personally overseen. Perhaps he even tried – but for whatever mixture of reasons, he was left, however irrationally, feeling that you'd somehow let him down.
None of this makes his behaviour towards you any more excusable, but it just may make it a little more understandable. And it suggests a sensible recovery course for you.
You must do all you can to shake off the feeling of not being wanted in your department: nothing justifies it. Until this interview, you rightly believed that you were doing well and that your work was appreciated. You haven't changed and neither has your competence. You must edge your way back to that earlier self-belief as soon as you can. Only if you allow your shaken self-confidence to affect your performance need this hurtful, but one-off, incident have a long-term negative effect on your career.

Readers' advice
• I have some experience relevant to the former software developer (I know what I don't want, but don't know what career I'd like, Dear Jeremy, 10 April). He or she might look at jobs in software development in universities and research institutions. They don't offer competitive pay, or job security. They do offer work that matters, and able colleagues who care about their work.
They are increasingly aware of the need for better management skills to manage such developers, which your recent training may help with. Many such jobs are advertised on jobs.ac.uk. Chris Morris
• I had exactly the same problem as the software developer after graduating. Like the reader, I wanted to do something that contributed to society, that made a difference. I had also rejected education as a career. I used the prospects.ac.uk website and completed their What jobs suit me section. You have to register with the website to access the service but it is free – and excellent. It takes you through your values, what's important to you (money, status, helping old ladies etc), your interests, aspirations, etc then comes up with some general descriptions of the types of career that match up, and a big long list of specific jobs. It was reassuring for me to see that many of the jobs I'd been considering were on my personalised list. I settled on the civil service fast stream graduate programme and am now in middle management … and loving it!
I can't recommend it highly enough – it's a good place for anyone to start. While badged as a graduate/postgraduate tool, because of the way it assesses your personal motivations and interests (as well as what you don't want), it is great for anyone considering a career change. Jessica Murphy

Originator: Chesapeake Bay Program
Bay grasses are a unique yardstick for measuring the progress of Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts because they are not under harvest pressure and their health is closely linked to water quality. In recent years both the health and diversity of bay grass communities have been severely threatened, and in 1984 SAV surveys could find only 38,000 acres of grasses throughout the Bay. To help the ailing estuary, the Chesapeake Bay Program partners recently adopted a bold, new goal to restore bay grasses to 185,000 acres in the Chesapeake and its tidal tributaries by 2010.Visit Link

* Prices may differ from that shown
We had a simple breadmaker years ago, but once it gave up we got out of the habit. However 15 months ago my wife discovered that she was gluten intolerant. This meant we had to rethink certain things. We decided to see if there was a breadmaker that could make glutenfree bread. To our surprise we quite quickly found that there was , the Panasonic SD-2501WXC. This made us decide that it was time to take up breadmaking once again.
Oh! Why did we ever stop, the rewards from this machine are just tremendous. This is simply a great piece of technology. It looks fantastic, if a little large. It is very modern in design, as you would expect, and it comes with a cool touch housing to stop it heating up on the outside. Storage proved difficult for us so we keep it on the side. What's proved really good about this machine was how simple and fast it was to get started again with home baking, Even for us oldies! The instructions were crystal clear and straightforward to follow.
The three step baking process was so simple. 1/ Add yeast 2/ Add dry ingredients 3/ Add liquid, what could be easier. That got us started anyway.
However it's more versatile than that. There are eleven bread and dough modes, something for everyone. For example French Bread; Rye Bread, wholemeal and original Brioche. I can't say we have tried them all as yet. You get a choice of three loaf sizes, which can save waste and get this even what kind of crusts you prefer.
It doesn't stop at bread, it can be used to make Jam or Compote also. Of course what was most important for us was the 100% Gluten Free Bread Mode, a real God send. I must mention the nut/raisin dispenser for even greater choice, I do like my raisin toast.
As in cooking in general weighing up ingredients is important and worth being precise about, stick to the recipe.
There is a time delay that can be set for up to 13hrs enabling baking overnight possible. Imagine waking up to that delicious smell in the morning. As I said in the headline, forget the bacon, smell the bread. Another big plus is the non-stick coating that does actually work. Once baked turn it over and tip out onto a baking rack to cool. However don't use anything metal that might scratch the surface, use a wooden spoon or spatula.
It doesn't matter if you are new to home baking or an expert, you are sure to get great baking pleasure from this machine. We are more than happy to highly recommend this product and truly believe that it offers tremendous value for money.
I have had this breadmaker for just over a week now and I have finally made a good loaf! The recipes in the book did not make what I would call an adequate loaf. The first loaf I made came out a cooked mixed up dough but I then realised that the yeast must have touched the water during the resting period. After a bit of tweaking I found the perfect loaf can be achieved by the following recipe in the same order:
420ml water
40g butter
2tsp sugar
2tsp salt
600g flour
1 x 7g packet dried fast acting yeast.
Cook the bread on fast bake (2 hours) select XL loaf and dark colouring and it is perfect every time.
The Panasonic book actually recommends that you put the water in last but in my logic, water will go down more easily then up. Anyway, I am now delighted with my bread maker it is a hit with all the family, and it has made me a little more adventurous in the kitchen, so much so, I will be trying the jam function at the weekend. The breadmaker will also make Pizza dough and bake cake loaves for you as well.
Although expensive, after reading many reviews I decided on this particular bread maker and it hasn't disappointed I have calculated the cost of producing a loaf to be about 50p so over time it will pay for itself. You can even set a timer to coincide your bread being freshly baked for breakfast. There is nothing better than waking up to the smell of freshly cooked bread.
I'd been hunting for a decent bread maker for a very long time and after considerable research on several review websites and by asking friends, I settled on this one and I have not been disappointed for one second.
The box for this thing is huge, and to be honest I wasn't quite prepared for the size of the machine either. Naively I didn't quite thing how much space you'd need to leave around it on a worktop and probably should have factored this in. If you're short on space, keep in mind that this thing gets hot and you'll want to keep it away from walls accordingly. I also find it pretty heavy, so I keep it out all the time in our small kitchen space and don't put it away into a cupboard as I do with many other appliances that don't get particularly frequent use. This product is also available in black and chrome but had a hefty additional price tag, so I just went for the white - it does the same thing after all!
First using the bread machine is something you'll be itching to do and the instructions allow this immediately. They are very well laid out with the ingredients you need at the start. The recipes vary from bread, to dough, to cake, to jam. Each have a different process so it's important to note at the beginning if you're just doing a straight ingredient dump or if you need to use the nut dispenser to do something a little more crazy, or if you'll need to take your dough out at a particular time and add some butter. We've found the range of recipes to be fantastic and we still haven't even done a third of them. Our frequent choices are the rapid loaf, the pizza dough and the pepperoni tear and share bread. For some of the more complicated recipes (brioche!) we have struggled to understand quite how we are supposed to go ahead with programming and such, but so far no disasters.
The fastest loaf in this thing is just under two hours, pretty speedy. The pizza dough only takes 45 minutes and is a staple in our weekly menu now. One thing we have noticed with the machine after it's completed a cycle, is that it can be a bit difficult to get the loaf off the hook and depending on how it comes out when you turn the loaf out, it can leave a strange hole in your bread. This is generally fine, but on a couple of occasions this has left the loaf awkward to cut with unsightly slices!
In terms of cleaning, the pan for this machine just pulls out very easily. We don't ever submerge it in water (not recommended) and we wash it by hand. If we've done a loaf that comes out dry, we tend to drag out any extra flour with a paper towel and do a damp cloth wash. If it's dough we need to do a bit more, but it's generally very easy to clean. The dough hook can be difficult to get out, but it's really important to remove it and clean it as bits of dough can get stuck to it and go mouldy (!) - if you struggle, a bit of water will ease it out.
This is a pricey machine and won't be for everyone but if you want to invest in a quality product, I'd highly recommend this one.
This is an excellent bread maker. It is quite heavy but that is the only disadvantage I can see.
This bread maker is very versatile. It doesn't just cook bread, you can make dough in it for things like pizza and doughnuts which is really useful.
There are a few things that you have to know before you begin to make your bread. The first thing is that you have to follow the recipe to the letter. A book of recipes comes with the bread maker, as does a handy double ended measuring spoon. If the recipe says 20ml of sunflower oil, it really does mean 20ml. Not 25ml or 15 ml, 20 ml is the only thing that will do.
Also, you have to make sure that your dried yeast is fresh. I used some that was three months old and my loaf came out like a dogs breakfast.
The other thing is that you need to be around to lift your loaf out the minute it has cooked. If you leave it in the machine to cool, the crust comes out all wet and chewy rather than crisp.
It really is easy to use and quite quick compared to other bread makers.
You just cannot beat the smell of freshly cooked bread flowing through your kitchen door.
When I first started looking into buying a bread maker I looked through all the usual suspects but eventually I went with Panasonic because the balance of the price and the trustworthy brand name was right for me. I have not been disappointed! I did not know so much was possible in one of these machines. You can make your bread gluten free and there's a compartment for additional treats to go into the mixture via the "Nuts and berries dispenser" so all my loaves have nice chewy treats in and they're extra healthy!
The machine comes with a range of recipes and instructions so you won't be short of options. Just make sure you have the general bread-making ingredients before it arrives as you'll be wanting to play with your new toy straight away.
The front panel has buttons for Menu, Size (X-Large, Large, Medium), Crust type (Light, Medium, Dark), Timer (with up and down keys) and the Start and Stop buttons. Once you go through the simple steps of making your selection, you just wait only a few hours, then lift the lid and see the results of your first experiment. The metal bucket part that the loaf sits in has a handle so you can lift it out and gently tip out your bread onto your counter top. You may have to give it a bit of shake sometimes and you may well have a little untidy hole in the bottom of the loaf where the mixing paddle has stuck in it and you've had to shake it free. Then, don't try to cut your bread straight away, you won't get good results. You have to be patient and allow the loaf to cool down for approximately 20 minutes before slicing.
The design is very smooth and simple too if you're like me and want the product to fit in well alongside the other devices in your kitchen, and it's easy to clean with detachable parts. If you're contemplating buying one of these great machines, just do the sums - This bread maker cost me £140. How much will you spend on shop-bought loaves for the rest of your life?
Great bread maker, absolutely no issues with using it. Recipe book that comes with it is really easy to under stand and clear. And very easy controls.
However we have had a couple of issues, one is that the fruit and nut dispenser broke quite easily, luckily this was soon after we bought it so we were able to replace it for a new one.
The loaves slide out so easily of you just tip it upside downand tap the bottom. However my sister decided to use it and instead used a table knife, now she swears she only used it very gently but it left deep scratches. It is still usable fine but we have looked up replacement pans to go inside and they seem to be about £50 to £70 to replace. So it seems that if it gets to a stage where it gets worse,me might be better off buying a new one seeing as it is now about a year old.
Let me say first of all that I prefer the taste, texture and appearance of hand made artisan bread. It is truly one of life's great pleasures, and beats machine made or commercially produced loaves any day of the week.
However, not all of us have the time, skills, or inclination to make our own bespoke loaves, (although having been on a bread baking course, I am now able to do so), and buying specialist breads from shops and delis can be horrendously expensive.
Equally, many basic standard supermarket loaves are bland, tasteless and poor value for money.
If any of the above strikes a chord with you, you might want to consider getting a breadmaker, and if you want a reliable easy to use machine which produces excellent results regularly, I would thoroughly recommend the Panasonic range.
I have had one for over 2 years now and have never been let down.
Robustly constructed, easy to programme and offering a range of bread and dough options, it takes the mystery and fear out of baking, and the timer can be set for overnight so that you wake up to the smell of freshly baked bread.
I had a Morphy Richards bread maker prior to this but it in no way compares to the Panasonic, either in sturdiness reliabilty or quality of loaf produced.
Well worth it.
We were bought this as a present as we had moved to the wilds of Exmoor, and shops are a distant trek - and what a great thing it is. Instead of a freezer full of loaves, i have a few packs of flour on standby, a tiny pack of yeast and away we go.
The machine lots of different settings, which are easy to work through and select. if you want to wake up to fresh bread, you have to work out how many hours it will be between the time you switch it on, and the time you want it to be ready. Not massively complicated, but good brain training if you are switching on late at night when you are half asleep (or half cut!)
The easiest mistake to make is to forget to put the paddle in when you put in the ingredients (you end up with a stodgy mess not a loaf, but its easy to clean up) or you forget to add an ingredient like water (you end up with burnt mess but its easy to clean up too)
Despite the numerous settings - our favourite which we do time and time again is the quick loaf - programme 2. It takes 2 hours and gives you a fairly dense but perfectly sized loaf, which is great for cutting for sandwiches. (N.B. if you want to use for sandwiches, cutting a hot fresh loaf is a bit of a challenge - I recommend making your bread the night before instead - you might miss out on the lovely smell in the morning, but you won't lose your loaf with poor cutting!)
We do have the nut dispenser - but we have never used it - and I guess if you are looking to save money, the model without the dispenser would be fine. I'm not sure I'll ever use the dispenser as you usually have to be there to add the ingredients at the right stage of the recipe - and if I am honest, I will either be in bed, at work or catching up on my other chores.
Its a big machine, which we have permanently out on our kitchen worktop - we use it every other day or so (the bread lasts really well - and no horrible preservatives) - i don't think i would like to have to move it in and out of a cupboard everytime I wanted to use it.
It's got a great recipe book so save yourself some money and don't buy yourself any bread making recipe books, as the book that comes with it has so much choice you'll struggle to work through it.
I have used to make jam - and it was nice, but to be honest it was just as easy to use a jam pan to do it. I have not bothered for cake, but have used for pizza dough with great result, but again - just as easy to do it in a mixer and leave to rise.
In summary - this is a brilliant machine - has saved us loads of money and freezer space - but do really think about whether you need the nut dispenser, as you could save yourself a bit of money and get all the same great functions without a dispenser that you might only use a handful of times.
I have not bought shop bought bread since I was bought this bread maker. I am used to making my own bread by hand although this was saved as a treat as although it was good to do it was time consuming. Now all I have to do is put the ingredients into the bread makers pan and select my type of bread and when I want it finished and that's all. The finished results are perfect every time.
I have used other makes of bread maker but this one produces an excellent sized loaf, which has a good consistency.
Plus points are
I can use organic flour
There are no chemicals added and I know what every ingredient is
I can set the timer so I have freshly baked bread in the morning
There is a dough only setting so I can make the dough and then assemble my own toppings on an oven cooked pizza.
The recipe book that comes with it is excellent and has loads of suggestions for using different types of flours etc
It is cheaper to make my own bread than buy speciality breads in the supermarket.
There is a quick express bake mode which cooks bread in 2 hours
Negative points
Initial cost is higher than other bread makers, mine was bought as a family present
Each loaf is so tasty I do eat more than I should!
I upgraded to the 250 WXC Panasonic bread maker from the 208 not because I was dissatisfied at all with the 208 but because a relative bought me the 250 as a present. I believe Panasonic make the best bread makers and the 250 WXC is absolutely fantastic. Like the earlier model it makes superior bread to any other model I have sampled and the quality of the end product is as good as going to a professional bakery. It is a slimmer design (250) and fits well on the work surface in the kitchen but as it is well designed it fits in a cupboard easily. The best features of this model are automatic baking to settings of your choice: I put mine on in the evening on timed and wake up to the smell of fresh baked bread warm and ready to eat. Another brilliant feature of this model is the automatic ingredient dispenser so you can make more complex breads like walnut and pear sourdoughs for example and not have to go back to the machine in process. Just leave it to do it's magic.
Product Title
Panasonic Bread-maker SD-2501WXC
The Producer of the Product
The Target Audience
Anybody who wants to bake fresh whole bread everyday with a nice simple machine that does all of the hard work for you, allowing you to keep all the goodness in the bread unlike your supermarket breads that have been frozen and had products added to them many times over.
£89.33 (Amazon Recommended)
The product in one
Having never owned a bread maker before and me been pretty sappy, I was actually excited when I brought home this Panasonic bread maker. Upon opening you will find there is a pretty handy booklet included - the recipe book. This is where I started because I had no idea what I was doing. I gathered all the ingredients for just standard bread and off I went. Using this machine it became apparent that there is actually nothing to it, no doubt without this machine it would be slightly difficult but this machine will consistently produce perfect bread. The recipe book has literally everything you could want from Brioche and Pizza dough to Jam and fruit compotes. With this little bread maker you simply put flour, water, yeast, a little salt and sugar, a little butter and maybe some dried milk powder into the pan, close the lid, select quick bake (Menu 2) and the desired crust colour and hit "Start". Wait about 2 hours as the house fills with the smell of freshly baked bread and you'll have a perfect loaf every time.
As soon as the bread maker has completed its baking cycle make sure you take it out practically straight away otherwise you may find that the crust goes a little soggy which I discovered after my second and third time after using this machine, the second time me thinking I had done something wrong. The timer works just fine. Basically set it to start in X number of hours time. So, for example, if you're setting it up at 10pm and you want bread for 7am, set a 4 hour bake program to start in 5 hours time (at 3am) so you can take the bread out at 7am.
When it comes to cleaning up after yourself simply fill the pan with warm soapy water, leave for a few minutes and then gently clean with a sponge or cloth it will bring your bread maker to looking brand new again.
How does it compare to other Products?
Compared to similar products on the market this bread maker actually fares pretty well as it has the quick bake option which is one of the reason we chose this bread maker over many others. It will bake the bread for you in approximately 1 hour and 55 minutes.
Does the Product Achieve its Purpose?
The product achieves its purpose in providing a machine that is capable of baking fresh bread from scratch, leaving all the goodness in the bread with an added quick bake feature for those who hate waiting around.

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express City Centre in Swindon and was extremely impressed.
I'm a permenant wheelchair user and the room I booked had everyone that I needed, with plenty of space for my electric wheelchair.
Check Inn was very smooth and had no problems. When I arrived at the room, I first had trouble opening the door and want back down to the reception where one off the staff were very happy to help me showing how to open the door.
In the wet room, there were handles and a walk in shower which had a perch seat. The shower was very easy to use and easy to get to the right temperature. There was also an emergency cord.
In the main bedroom, which was a double room, there was another emergency card near the bed.
They was even a plug socket for a fire alarm pillow, and a light that would flash if the fire alarm went off.
The bed was just the right texture for me.
The night time staff, Lee and Ahmed were excellent. They helped my to use to the vending machine for drinks when the bar was closed.
Check out was also very smooth. I can't rate breakfast as I had to leave early.
The room had cost me £49 for one night and I can't wait to still again.
I have also reviewed this hotel on booking.com and tripadvisor.co.uk under the same user name 'ldwheel'.

Did you know?
South Africa's Drakensberg mountains is the highest mountain range in southern Africa, topping 3 482m.
If you are staying at the Drakensberg Gardens Golf & Spa Resort, a round of 18 at Glengarry Country Club only costs around R160, which is serious value for money, given the scenery and the quality of the fairways and greens.
The rough is definitely to be avoided, but the generous width of the fairways offers hackers a fair chance of doing this. Several strategic water traps throughout the course force golfers to make some tough decisions about whether to back themselves and go for glory, or play it safe and set up for a wedge onto the green.
Numerous hole-in-ones have been recorded on holes 3 and 11, so have your credit card ready to buy a few rounds if you're feeling lucky.
The signature hole is definitely the scenic 6th, which requires a bit of a walk to the tee box – but don't worry, it's worth it. If you are playing on a sunny day, get your partner to watch your drive from this tee, as you are likely to lose the ball as it soars above the mountains in the backdrop.
While on the course, you are likely to encounter wildlife such as eland, baboons and various smaller species of antelope. The birdlife in this region is plentiful, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.
Golf carts can be hired and are particularly useful on the front 9 if you're a bit under the weather for whatever reason. Speaking of which, there are some great sports bars at the hotel on the premises, perfect for making a lads weekend of it.
Drakensberg Gardens is also a great family resort, with various activities to keep kids entertained during the day, such as a BMX course, fly-fishing lessons, horse riding and guided hikes.
If you happen to fall in love with this part of the world, there are a number of luxury timeshare options for you to consider.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Glengarry Country Club
Tel: +27 (0)33 701 1355
How to get here
Self-drive is the most convenient option. Drakensberg Gardens Golf & Spa Resort is approximately 2.5 hours' drive from King Shaka International Airport in Durban.
Best time to visit
The Drakensberg is at its greenest between November and April, so if you don't mind a few thunder showers, visit during these months.
What to pack
The Drakensberg is freezing at night during autumn and winter (April to October), so pack plenty of warm clothes if you're visiting during this period.
Where to stay
The Drakensberg Gardens Golf & Spa Resort, which is on the same premises as Glengarry Country Club, offers affordable accommodation and has some fantastic sports bars and restaurants.

My name is Jennifer Gumbel and I'm excited about becoming a part of the Lawyerist team. I'm an attorney practicing in Preston, Minnesota, far from the silk stocking law firms of metro areas. After law school, I worked as a judicial law clerk in Austin, Minnesota. After my clerkship, I joined the Scott K. Springer Law Office, forming Springer & Gumbel, P.A. in Preston, Minnesota, a city of just under 1,500. I live in LeRoy, Minnesota, a city of just over 900.
Although my practice focuses on estate planning, real estate, business planning and municipal law, I could be described, along with many other of my colleagues, as a rural attorney. As a rural attorney, not only do I have the joys and pressures of working in a small practice, but also the joys and pressures of working in a small legal community, and really, just plain small community.
When I was in law school, practicing outside of a metro area was, for me, almost unthinkable. I, for one, had visions of sub-par legal practice and a risk of cronyism. Frankly my ideas of "rural" justice were formed more by the Dukes of Hazzard than any real experience. Now, three years out of law school, I practice in a rural community and I can't imagine practicing anywhere else. I look forward to offering insight into rural practice, tips for the rural practitioner (or the metro attorney finding themselves in a strange courthouse for the afternoon), and the law student considering rural practice.
