Balancing Act: DPs To Have Less HP In Headlining Prototype Class
Daytona Prototype teams in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship face a reduction in horsepower this weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, as IMSA officials continue to strive for an equitable balance of performance in the headlining Prototype (P) class heading into the fourth race of the season.
The P class features DP, P2 and DeltaWing cars that are inherently dissimilar, thus presenting an intriguing challenge â and the opportunity to create some of the most unique prototype racing in the history of North American sports car competition.
Itâs a moving target, but IMSA officials are honing in. Hereâs a rundown of the latest adjustments:
· Corvette DPs will race with a one-millimeter smaller air restrictor, knocking back air flow to the engine;
· Ford EcoBoost enginesâ restrictors will be 0.9-millimeter smaller;
· Ford engines also will have a slight reduction in boost for the twin turbos.
The bottom line: between 10-14 less horsepower for the DPs, on the 2.238-mile, 11-turn circuit.
IMSA Vice President of Competition and Technical Regulations Scot Elkins said progress â real progress â is being made.
"Honestly, the truth of the matter is that, after you look at the [season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona separately], which you really have to do because itâs a totally unique event [with the high banks and higher speeds involved], weâre really only two races into this new deal.
"Now, in no way do we want to pat ourselves on the back â weâre not going to do that by any means â but we do have the lap times between DPs and P2s very close now. And to be only making relatively small adjustments at this stage is something we feel good about."
Something perhaps overlooked somewhat by those critiquing the results of the first three races, all won by DPs: regulations are only part of the puzzle. Drivers, pit stops and simple racing luck come into play as well.
Said Elkins: "There is so much involved with winning a race. And thereâs only so much we can have an effect on [with regulations]."
Doubleheader Sunday: 2 Races, 4 Hours, 4 Classes
TUDOR Championship competition is divided into two, two-hour races this weekend, a nod to the collective high car count across the championshipâs four classes â 56 entries total - rolling into Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Another bottom line: pit and paddock space are at a premium; dividing the four classes makes sense.
It also should make for good racing, with the TUDOR Championships Prototype Challenge (PC) and GT Daytona (GTD) classes in the first race, followed by the Prototype (P) and GT Le Mans (GTLM) classes in the second event.
This weekend will mark a repeat P-GTLM combo run; the two classes raced together on April 12 in the Tequila Patrón Sports Car Showcase at the Long Beach Street Circuit.
Avoidance Behavior: Corvette Racing Utilizing âExtra Eyesâ To Elude Contact
A memorable high-speed "diss" at the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans has led to this: the Collision Avoidance System (CAS-M) developed by Pratt & Miller and Bosch Motorsport North America in collaboration with Bosch.
The system is being used by both the No. 3 and No. 4 Corvette C7.Rs fielded in the TUDOR Championship by Corvette Racing, giving drivers a rear-facing view of traffic and the chance to gauge how quickly traffic is moving toward or away from them.
At Le Mans four years ago, a prototype zipped by a bit too closely, forcing one of the Corvette Racing entries off-track. It was a catalyst for the CAS-M project, which debuted at the 2013 Sebring race. The system was upgraded for the debut of the 2014 Corvette C7.R. It includes updated software and hardware for improved reliability.
CAS-M, works as an "extra set of eyes," in the words of driver Richard Westbrook. Track images are captured and overlaid with radar data on the rear view display. This allows for at-a-glance driver recognition, even at night and in the rain.
Since the 2013 debut, the system has received two awards in the motorsports community, is now in its production-ready version and is about to be shipped across the world to teams in need.
The new version totes some serious improvements: 50% thinner, 30% lighter and streamlined internal hardware components for improved reliability and manufacturability. This has been the result of intense collaboration with Bosch Motorsport and its production expertise over the last two months.
One of the advantages of this system is that the driver doesnât need to take their eyes off the road; they can utilize it with only their peripheral vision due to how the interface is designed.
"Itâs funny that we are developing this product and putting so much time into how it looks and functions, to have the end goal of making it so the driver never has to look directly at it." said Chris Hammond, the Lead Radar System Engineer at Pratt & Miller.
Prototype Challenge: Spec Cars, Special Drivers
The TUDOR Championshipâs competitive Prototype Challenge (PC) class is known for close racing and highly capable drivers, a hard fact that belies its status as one of IMSAâs "Pro-Am" classes.
All cars in the class are ORECA FLM09s, but the sameness ends there.
This may be a spec class, but it has special drivers, including some who have excelled in other forms of racing.
Start with Colin Braun, co-leader of the PC points with co-driver Jonathan Bennett in the No. 54 CORE autosport entry. Braun is a former driver at the NASCAR national series level, winning the 2008 rookie of the year award in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Co-driving the No. 09 RSR Racing entry with Duncan Ende is Bruno Junqueira, a three-time CART championship runner-up and the 2002 polesitter at the Indianapolis 500.
Alex Tagliani, who will co-drive the No. 08 for RSR with Chris Cumming, is another former open-wheel driver â and another former Indy 500 pole winner, having achieved that career milestone in 2011.
Luis Diaz, former Indy Lights and GRAND-AM Rolex Series driver, is co-driving the No. 25 entry for 8Star Motorsports this weekend, with Sean Rayhall.
"People always talk about PC being a âquote/un-quoteâ Pro-Am class but when you look at some of the guys running in PC ⦠itâs crazy," said IMSA Vice President of Competition and Technical Regulations and Development Scot Elkins.
"Some of the guys running are really high-talent."
History-Steeped: Mazda Raceway And Its âCorkscrewâ Add Iconic Touches To TUDOR Championship
When the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship began taking shape, the many questions to be answered and many challenges to be met always were balanced by the anticipation of the ultimate sure thing: the schedule. IMSA President and COO Scott Atherton predicted it would be a "dream schedule" especially rich in tradition.
Thatâs what came to pass, with Daytona International Speedway, Sebring International Raceway, Watkins Glen International and Road Atlanta â the four "givens" â joined by other
iconic facilities, such as Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
The facility opened in November 1957 and over the years has hosted USRRC, Can-Am, Trans-Am, Formula 5000, IMSA GT, Champ Car, American Le Mans Series, GRAND-AM, Superbike World Championship and MotoGP motorcycle races and the annual Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. And, like virtually all iconic motorsports venues, the place has that one characteristic that has come to define its identity. In the case of Mazda Race way Laguna Seca, itâs the "Corkscrew." On the track diagram, itâs called Turns 8 and 8A, a hard-left/ hard-right combination that also has an unreal "elevator" aspect involved.
Picture this:
Entering Turn 8 (the left-hander), the elevation drops 12 percent; at the apex of Turn 8A (the right-hander), the elevation is at its steepest - an 18 percent drop. The Corkscrew drops 59 feet between the entrance of Turn 8 to the exit of Turn 8A â equivalent to a five-and-a-half story plunge. But that plunge takes place over only 450 feet. From Turn 8 to Turn 9, the elevation falls another 109 feet, or just over 10 stories.
The Corkscrew is a favorite of fans and, of course, photographers. Drivers? That depends, of course, given the weekend.
Wounded Warrior To Debut In Freedom Autosport Mazda MX-5
U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Liam Dwyer couldnât have picked a better day to make his Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge debut than Saturday, which will be Military Appreciation Day at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Sgt. Dwyer, a twice-wounded combat Marine in Iraq (2007) and Afghanistan (2011), will co-drive Freedom Autosportâs No. 27 Mazda MX-5 with Tom Long. Sgt. Dwyer lost his left leg in Afghanistan, and will be racing with a prosthetic leg. The team has modified the clutch pedal with a quick-release pin. He is one of two veterans on the team, alongside Mark Pombo (Army), who will be co-driving the No. 25 Mazda with his brother, Mat Pombo.
Freedom Autosport is looking for its fourth consecutive 1-2 finish at Mazda Raceway. Andrew Carbonell - winner in 2011 and 2013 - joins Randy Pobst in the No. 26 Mazda, coming off an ST class victory in the most recent Continental Tire Challenge race at Sebring.
Saturdayâs festivities are free to military in uniform and veterans with ID. Freedom Autosport is sponsoring Military Island at the circuit, which will have free hospitality to all military guests. Activities also include a silent auction to benefit the Monterey Bay Veterans and Vet Motorsports.
Edwards, Hindman Take 15-Point GS Lead To Mazda Raceway
John Edwards and Trent Hindman have parlayed a pair of runner-up finishes to a healthy, 15-point lead atop the Grand Sport (GS) point standings only two races into the 2014 campaign. They co-drive the No. 46 BMW M3 for Fall-Line Motorsports. Edwards finished second at Mazda Raceway last year, co-driving a Chevrolet Camaro GS.R for Stevenson Motorsports.
Lucas Bize and David Levine are currently second in the GS points, coming off a fifth-place finish at Sebring in the No. 78 Racers Edge Motorsports Ford Mustang Boss 302R.
Shelby Blackstock and Ashley Freiberg won the BMW Performance 200 at Daytona International Speedway in the No. 48 Fall-Line Motorsports BMW M3, while Andrew Davis and Robin Liddell were winners at Sebring International Raceway in the No. 6 Stevenson Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.R.
Continental Tire Challenge Notes ...
Eric Foss and Jeff Mosing followed up their season-opening victory at Daytona with a third-place finish at Sebring in the No. 56 Murillo Racing BMW 328i. The pair leads the ST standings by nine points over Tyler Cooke and Greg Liefooghe, who took second at Daytona in the No. 81 BimmerWorld Racing BMW 328i ⦠Rebel Rock Racing is expanding to a four-car entry for the upcoming Continental Tire Challenge races, beginning with Mazda Raceway. The Florida-based team is running two cars in each class, and will debut the No. 87 Porsche Boxster in the ST class. Al Carter will be making his debut in the car, co-driving with Brett Sandberg ⦠Elliott Skeer will make his Continental Tire Challenge debut at Mazda Raceway. The 19-year-old from Carlsbad, Calif., will fill in for Marc Miller in the No. 3 CJ Wilson Racing Mazda MX-5 co-driven by Tyler McQuarrie.

CORRECTION APPENDED: The planning commission member quoted in this article is Linda Edmisten, not Lisa Edmisten as originally reported.
Food trucks could start setting up shop in downtown Raleigh and the Glenwood South district, despite resistance from restaurant owners.
At Tuesday's Planning Commission meeting, commissioners approved a code change that will allow food trucks to park on private property. The change still requires full city council approval.
The new rules would require food trucks to park at least 100 feet from a restaurant or outdoor eating area and 50 feet from a food cart. The rules also regulate parking, permitting, and sanitation "in order to mitigate potential negative impacts," according to the zoning staff report.
At a January council committee meeting, many restaurant owners spoke out against food trucks and the competition that they would bring, as well as issues that may be involved with them, such as trash disposal, parking, safety and traffic.
Steven Valentino, owner of Valentino's Food Truck, said before "brick-and-mortars" complained, food trucks were allowed to set up freely outside of downtown, but now, there's a lot of pressure on the city council to regulate trucks. He said the new limits on the permits will make it tougher for trucks to set up.
"We're being looked upon as sort of a parasite," Valentino said. "The city council is too close to the canvas and they're not looking at the bigger issues."
Downtown Raleigh Alliance Director David Diaz said that it has been difficult to mediate both sides of the issue.
Overall, Diaz feels that "the changes were headed in right direction."
"And I say that in general because we're still getting a significant amount of concern from merchants," Diaz said. "Some don't want it to happen at all regardless of what restrictions are put on it."
The proposed regulations would also limit how many food trucks can park per acre: One truck per half-acre or less, two trucks on lots between one-half and one acre and three for lots between one and two acres. There is no maximum on lots that are more than two acres.
City officials hope that rule will prevent crowds and late night disturbances.
"That's the attempt to address that concern," said Greg Hallam with the city's planning department.
Food trucks would not be allowed to have amplified sound or signs on sidewalks and would only be allowed to set up outdoor seating areas on lots of two acres of more.
Trucks would also not be allowed to occupy any parking spaces that are needed to meet the requirements for principal use of a property, according to the text change.
Hours for operation for trucks located 100 yards from a single-family or duplex home would be 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., as opposed to other areas, where a truck's operation hours can be 6 a.m. to 3 a.m.
Hallam said both the property owner and vendor would have to get a zoning permit.
Planning Commission Vice Chair Linda Harris Edmisten, who opposed the changes, said they don't provide enough protection against negative effects from the trucks.
"And mainly, since these are run by diesel emissions, and if they are running all day and all night within 150 feet of a single-family residence, that can be pretty unpleasant with smoke and vibrations and emissions and so on," Edmisten said.
Valentino said if the new regulations take effect, the industry will probably get a little bigger in the downtown area, but there will still be pressures on vendors. He stressed that food trucks aren't trying to steal business from restaurant owners and are trying to establish a "symbiotic relationship" with them.
"We're just offering more takeout options," he said.

Freddie Mercury has an asteroid named after him
Freddie Mercury has had an asteroid named after him to celebrate what would have been his 70th birthday (05.09.16).
The former Queen frontman died in 1991 aged 45 from bronchial pneumonia - a lung condition - that he contracted as a result of already being ill with AIDS, which interferes with the immune system.
Now, as a 70th birthday present to the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hitmaker, the International Astronomical Union has named an asteroid after him.
Fellow bandmate and 'Don't Stop Me Now' guitarist Brian May, 69, made the announcement on Sunday (04.09.16) via a filmed messaged, which was shown to 1,250 fans who gathered at Montreux Casino in Switzerland to celebrate the late legend's birthday.
He said: "I'm happy to be able to announce that the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center has today designated Asteroid 17473, discovered 1991, in Freddie's name, timed to honour his 70th Birthday.
"Henceforth this object will be known as Asteroid 17473 Freddiemercury. Published in the September 4th announcements of the Minor Planet Center, operating out of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory), this announcement is to recognise Freddie's outstanding influence in the world."
The asteroid was discovered in 1991 - the year of Freddie's death - and orbits between Mars and Jupiter and measures 3.5km across.
Brian also noted that he had been given an "adoption" certificate by the International Astronomical Union to commemorate the event.
He said: "We have a nice certificate of 'adoption' issued by the International Astronomical Union and the Minor Planet Center, which says: This name is in honour of Freddie Mercury, with the following citation: Freddie Mercury (Farrokh Bulsara, 1946-1991) was a British songwriter, and the lead singer for the legendary rock group Queen.
"His distinctive sound and large vocal range were hallmarks of his performance style, and he is regarded as one of the greatest rock singers of all time."
Joel Parker of the Southwest Research Institute, who issued the Certificate of Designation, added: "Singer Freddie Mercury sang, 'I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky' - and now that is even more true than ever before. Today in celebration of his 70th birthday, an asteroid has been named Freddiemercury in honour of the charismatic singer for the band Queen."

Grüningen Priory was a short-lived Cluniac foundation, predecessor to St. Ulrich's Priory in the Black Forest, at Grüningen near Oberrimsingen in Breisach in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
A small monastery, Tuniberg Priory (Kloster Tuniberg), apparently Benedictine, was founded sometime before 1072 on the mountain known as the Tuniberg near the Kaiserstuhl by Hesso of Eichstetten and Rimsingen. This was moved between 1077 and 1080 to Grüningen.
With the founder's consent, Ulrich of Zell (d. 1093), in his advancement of the Cluniac reforms in German territory, turned it into a priory directly dependent on Cluny Abbey.
At his instigation the community moved yet again in about 1087, this time to Zell in the Möhlin valley, where it developed into St. Ulrich's Priory in the Black Forest.

I Was Caught Shoplifting About $30 Worth Of Stuff. The Security Guard Caught Me When I Was Walking Outside And Made Me Go Back Inside. They Asked Me To Take Everythig Out Of My Bag And I Did. After That They Asked For My Name, Birthday And Address, And Said I Was Going To Be Getting A Letter In The Mail With A Fine, And Said It Could Be Up To $200.

And Would My Parents Need To Be There When I Pay The Fine? And Will My Friend Be Charged Also?
You were not arrested and you are not charged with any crime. There is no fine for you to pay. Only a court can issue a fine. What the security guard is referring to is a Civil Demand letter that they will be sending you. You do not have to pay a civil demand letter. It is just an attempt to squeeze money out of you. They will probably send you a few letters and may even call you, but eventually they will give up. It will not effect you in any way if you don't pay.Ask a similar question
You know those big cardboard crushers behind the WalMart? Avoid those at all costs...
No, really, it does not sound at all like they are going to charge you. WalMart has all of its stuff back, so they are not really out anything. While the law may allow them to recover with their civil demand letter, I have never seen them sue.

No Funeral - Misanthrope CS
On Sale
From Live Fast Die Recordings, US
"Direct from Minneapolis, Minnesota, comes a scornful sludge metal act called No Funeral. Since their inception in 2011, the band has released several demos and singles. Now, their grimy malignant noise has finally manifested in the form of a full-length debut. Entitled Misanthrope, No Funeral's inaugural album is a wrathful, belligerent discharge of discontent.
A boiling sense of contempt for — well, life itself — spans the album's four tracks. Those who find sludge too repetitive will appreciate the album's grooving (by sludge standards) pace. What makes this album stand out to me is the power of the songs. There's something going on here that grabs you by the jaw. Something more than feedback and perpetual guitar drones. No Funeral are not the least bit afraid to throw a substantial helping of Sabbath into their riffs".

We have recently presented a new hot feature of Centreon 2.5: ACL on configuration objects. Make sure to check it out now if you missed it!
Today, we would like to introduce another new feature: the UI notification system!
You should all be familiar with the basic notification system by now. It is provided by Centreon Engine and it sends out notifications by various methods such as e-mail, SMS etc… The UI notification system is nowhere near our standard notifications. Instead, it is meant to quickly notify users who are logged on the Centreon web interface.
Get notified by a small dialog box when a Host or a Service goes into a Non OK state.
Ooops.. a critical alert!
Be notified regardless of your current position on Centreon
The drawback to this dialog box notification is that you may not have your eyes on the screen all the time. That's why we also implemented a sound notification system so that you can be alerted by a sound.
To configure this notification system, the following procedure:
Administration > Options > My Account
You can set a different sound for each type of alert :
Choose the statuses you want to be notified for
All the above notification parameters are set in the Account settings page, as they are specific to each user account.
That's it for today, stay tuned as the Centreon 2.5 release date is getting closer and closer!

International condemnation of a coup by Malian soldiers is mounting after rebel troops seized key buildings in the capital and drove the president from his official residence.
The soldiers – who call themselves the National Committee for the Establishment of Democracy – said they had acted because of the government's "inability" to put down a Tuareg-led insurrection in the north.
President Amadou Toumani Toure was initially holed up in the presidential palace as shots were traded outside, but managed to flee the premises.
A military source said he had since moved to a military camp with loyal members of an elite paratrooper unit.
As sporadic gunfire rang out in the capital on Thursday, Western powers and the African Union condemned the mutiny, Mali's first coup in 21 years.
A statement from the UN Security Council said its members "strongly condemn the forcible seizure of power from the democratically elected government of Mali by some elements of the Malian armed forces".
The 15-nation body called on the rebels "to ensure the safety and security of President Amadou Toumani Toure and to return to their barracks".
France suspended co-operation with its former colony, also calling on the mutinous soldiers not to harm Toure.
And Washington, which has repeatedly voiced fears that parts of Mali and neighbouring countries are becoming a safe haven for jihadi extremists, called "for the immediate restoration of constitutional rule".
Junta spokesman Lieutenant Amadou Konare said the takeover was because of a "lack of adequate (military) material to defend the nation".
Claiming to speak for the army, he said the junta "solemnly commits to restore power to a democratically elected president as soon as national unity and territorial integrity are re-established".
The man presented as their leader, Captain Amadou Sanogo, declared a national curfew as the rebels announced all borders had been closed until further notice.
Konare appeared on public television late on Thursday and said the curfew would be in place from 1800 GMT to 0600 GMT.
The coup leaders also ordered all civil servants back to work from next Tuesday.
Renegade soldiers in the northeastern city of Gao detained their military chiefs in support of the coup.
In Bamako, military men were seen stealing private cars and looting.
But it remained unclear how tight the new junta's grip on power was.
"The president is in Bamako, he is not at an embassy. He is in a military camp where he is in command," a military source said on condition of anonymity.
The elite "Red Beret" paratroopers were keeping watch, he added.
Western powers – concerned that the north could become a safe haven for al-Qaeda – were quick to call for order to be restored.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon voiced "deep concern", as did neighbouring Algeria, Bamako's main partner in the fight against al-Qaeda. Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa also condemned the coup.
The World Bank and the African Development Bank announced they were suspending development aid to Mali.
They joined the African Union and the West Africa regional bloc ECOWAS in condemning the coup and called for a swift resolution to the crisis. -- AFP

Vancouver police say a woman accused of murdering her two infant sons over a period of more than a year concealed the second pregnancy from her family and from police investigating her.
Sarah Leung was under investigation for the murder of one infant son when she became pregnant with a second son she is also accused of murdering.
Vancouver police on Wednesday announced two charges of second-degree murder against the 24-year-old East Vancouver woman, and had to explain how they missed the fact that the subject of a major investigation had become pregnant again while under police scrutiny.
Deputy Chief Warren Lemcke told a news conference that if police had known about the suspect's medical condition, they would have worked with the Ministry of Children and Family Development to figure out what to do.
"But the problem was no one knew," Deputy Chief Lemcke said. "The ministry didn't know. We didn't know. That makes it extremely difficult. We all hear of cases where women have hidden pregnancies from families.
"This is not an isolated incident where they hide the pregnancy. It happens all the time."
Not even her family knew, he said.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Children and Family Development declined comment on the case as the whole situation is now before the courts.
Deputy Chief Lemcke said the case had been especially trying. "Few incidents are more tragic than the death of a child but when that death is allegedly at the hands of the mother, it is unimaginable. And when it is two children, it is incomprehensible."
In April, 2009, the body of an infant boy was found wrapped in a plastic bag in a yard between a pair of houses in East Vancouver. The infant's mother was questioned, but no charges were laid.
In March of this year, Vancouver police said they believed the mother of the first child had given birth to another child, but that the child was no longer alive. Police say the second child was a boy, and that his remains have never been found.
"The B.C. Coroners Service and other experts were consulted along the way to help determine if the recovery of the second infant from a landfill gravesite was even feasible, but it was not, as so much time had passed," he said.
Police allege that the infants were murdered after birth and discarded.
Ms. Leung surrendered to police on Tuesday after learning of the pending charges, he said. She made an appearance in provincial court Wednesday, but was remanded in custody until June 16.
In an interview, Ms. Leung's lawyer said he could not talk about particulars of the case or say whether his client will plead not guilty.
"There's been no decisions made at all about that. It's far too early. This case, in terms of her involvement with the courts and lawyers, started in the last 24 hours, so it's too early for decisions like that to be made," Jim Bahen said.
Deputy Chief Lemcke said he was not sure if the two infants - one born on April 2, 2009, and the second on March 7 of this year - had the same father, but that one man deemed a father in the case was not involved in the incidents.
He declined to comment on possible motive or on many aspects of the case, declaring that the investigation is ongoing.
And he rejected a reporter's suggestion that investigators might have cut Ms. Leung some slack due to such factors as postpartum depression. "Any thought about cutting slack? That wasn't there."
Instead he said police conducted a long, challenging investigation in the case that involved processing crime scenes, submitting evidence statements and dealing with the Crown. "This does take time."
There was no one home at Ms. Leung's East Vancouver home Wednesday. But the case was the talk of the neighbourhood as residents remembered the horrific discovery, which brought police to their quiet street.
"It's been on our minds, and there's other families in the area that are having children so it's worrisome," said Laurence Verkyl, out for a walk with his partner, Alison Frost, and their infant daughter. "It's a hard thing to live with, but we've lived with it so it's kind of gotten normal."
Ms. Frost said the whole matter had its unsettling elements. Both said they had seen Ms. Leung's family around, but had no substantial contact with them.

The study was conducted last month on almost 125 students which reveal that 69% of students in Bangalore, and 86% in Chennai, have fallen sick just before or during their Examinations. It happens because of lack of enough rest, junk food and poor hygiene. While it is 30% students of Bangalore children fallen sick on multiple occasion, in Chennai it is 45%.
A pediatrician, Dr. Yashoda Devi says that "Students mostly complain of stomach ache, head ache and fever. Due to the lakh of a nutritious diet, children are likely to contract chicken pox during exam times. Malingering ie.. pretending to be sick, is another common thing that is noticed. A chief dietitian and consultant from Indian Medical Academy, Anuja Agarwal says "Children are sleeping less, eating junk food and ignoring hygiene". The doctor's say, As the exam time starts, its crucial for students to eat nutritious food and get enough rest.
The study report confess the following details :
Only 30% students of Bangalore children get adequate sleep during examinations.
94% of students avoid either bathing or wishing hands before meals.
81% children eat junk food to save time for studies.
Overall Chennai figures for 26%, 78% and 73% respectively.
A other dietitian Dr.Archana Nazre from BGS Hospital said "Its important for children to learn time management. The problem begins with last-minute preparations. Adequate sleep and nutritious food are the key. Stress is the biggest culprit. It gives students sleepless nights, making them feel sick". "Over-Expectation from parents and peer pressure, as well as irregular studies during the year, make students stressed. Hence to cope up with the exam pressure, students start skipping sleep gradually. They don't focus on eating healthy. This combination of bad habits is enough to spoil their health", said consultant psychiatrist at Manipal Hospital, Dr. Bhupinder Choudhry.
Unfortunately, the negative influence of this phenomenon on the student's body and their psychology is underestimated now-a-days. The social polls demonstrate that students perceive the exams as a "Duel of questions and answers", "Severe torture" and as "Intellectual and Emotional overload".

STUBBORN Labor MP Jo-Ann Miller has bluntly ruled out handing over her prized shadow health portfolio to star ALP candidate and renowned maxillofacial surgeon Dr Anthony Lynham, should he win the looming Stafford by-election.
Despite Dr Lynham's impressive experience within the health system, including stints in European hospitals, Ms Miller was resolute when asked if she would be handing over the reins to the newcomer and surgeon of 19 years, curtly responding "no".
The Bundamba MP, who made headlines after comparing mining camps to concentration camps and refusing her leader's request to apologise for the gaffe, was a public servant with a business degree before she was elected to parliament in 2000.
If elected Dr Lynham will be the only medico on the nine-person Opposition team.
A spokesman for the Opposition declined to comment on Ms Miller's position, saying the party's focus at the moment was on winning the by-election.
But Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk has declared she would be rewarding Dr Lynham with a senior position should he be successful on July 19.
"Dr Lynham is one of Queensland's most respected surgeons. His experience at the coalface of two of Brisbane's biggest hospitals will be invaluable to the ALP and the Parliament," Ms Palaszczuk said when she announced his endorsement as the party's Stafford candidate in April.
It is understood an official decision on a potential portfolio for Dr Lynham will be made after the by-election result is known.
Dr Lynham yesterday said he had not yet thought about how he would serve the Opposition .
"I'll wait and see how the party decides what I do and I will put my hand up to assist the party in whatever way I possibly can," he said. "I will be happy being the representative for Stafford."
Dr Lynham said Stafford had the highest concentration of health workers in the state, so if he won, he would be speaking on health issues regardless.

We have a packed schedule of fantastic speakers for WordCamp Hamilton 2015, and want to let you get to know a bit about them before you arrive at the event June 6th! Each week will be featuring a speaker, and we're starting this week with Shanta Nathwani.
Shanta is a Web Design and Information Architecture Consultant as well as an Instructor in Web Design and CCIT Capstone at Sheridan College, located in Oakville, Ontario, Canada which includes teaching WordPress. The ICCIT program is a joint program with the University of Toronto at Mississauga. She teaches students and small businesses how to use their websites and social media to increase their online presence leading to increased revenues and improved customer service. She has assisted companies to incorporate social media in the real estate, financial, non-profit, education and technical fields to name a few. She is from Toronto, Ontario, but now lives in Hamilton, Ontario.
Shanta will be giving the WordPress 101 session first thing in the morning!
We asked Shanta a few questions about her presentation and her passion for WordPress, see below!
Tell us about your presentation?
As someone told me after I'd delivered this before, this presentation is meant to give people the alphabet of WordPress so that they can learn the dictionary. It is intended for anyone that has never even touched WordPress before and needs some basic information to make some decisions that will start their WordPress experience off right. I assume that people attending my session have no prior knowledge.
What do you want people to learn from your presentation?
I want them to get an understanding of the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org (self-hosted), what themes and plugins are and educate themselves enough to know when they might be in over their heads and need to hire a professional. You may walk away with more questions, but at least you have a starting point and know better which questions to ask, or to whom you need to speak. You'll be better able to speak with people of all levels, not only at WordCamp, but beyond that one day.
Why did you decide to speak?
This is my home. I want people from all over to see what Hamilton can offer in the way of WordPress and what a great community that it has. I did an amazing tour last year and got some great feedback on this subject. I love teaching the beginners and seeing the look of enlightenment on their faces. Knowledge is power and I'm all about sharing it.
What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?
I had done web design in an earlier life and when I was looking for my next gig, post-graduation from my degree, I didn't know what to do. I thought about going back to web design, but it had changed so much. A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of WordPress and immediately following the meeting, I went to the store and picked up a book. I've never looked back and never regretted it. Now, I teach it, not only at WordCamps, but as my job!
What is your favourite plugin or theme, and why?
I would have to say that Backup Buddy by iThemes is my favourite. It is such an easy tool to use and for those users that I work with who don't want to be bothered worrying about schedules and what to back up and when. Set it up once and let it run. You can schedule it to do a full backup or just a database backup. You can tell it to store the backup elsewhere, like Dropbox. The best part of it is for those that develop websites for their clients. The migration tool is incredible! I've done a demo in front of my class and moved an entire site from one domain to the other in 10 minutes, with instruction to them. A perfect working copy.
What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Hamilton?
I've been talking to people in the Hamilton/Halton area for the last couple of years about WordPress and they've been eager to learn about it. This is their chance! It is such a boost for the local WordPress and Web Community as a whole. And, after having done 7 WordCamps across North America last year and planning on doing 10 this year, for this WordCamp, I get to sleep at home in my own bed. 😉

Why is stretching so important to walkers? It makes your body perform better. You'll gain a greater range of motion, so you can generate more force. Your stride will be longer, and you'll think nothing of taking the stairs two at a time (which means you'll be able to burn more calories). Even everyday stuff such as tying your shoes will be easier. But more important, flexible muscles also help prevent muscle soreness and injury.
Muscles remember the last thing you do. And if the last thing you've done is contract them over and over while walking, bicycling, or pressing dumbbells, they'll end up tighter and shorter.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
What's more, every muscle in your body contains "stretch receptors" that keep a constant dialogue going with your brain about your overall level of tension. When your muscles are chronically tight, your body is thrown out of alignment, creating muscular imbalances and poor posture. That notifies your brain that your body is under constant stress. Can you say tension headache?
Aesthetically, well-stretched and limber muscles appear leaner than shortened, constantly contracted muscles. Stretching also undoes a lot of the postural damage we do even when we're not working out.
Finally, stretching has some hidden psychological benefits. Just as chronically tight muscles send a signal to your brain that you're under constant stress, chronically relaxed muscles send the opposite message, telling your brain that everything is okay. That can make you feel less stressed out even when things are crazy. Plus, when done properly, stretching simply feels good.
Stork Stretch Stand with your left hand resting on a chair or a table for support. Bend your right leg behind you, and grasp the top of your right foot with your right hand, keeping your back straight and your eyes facing forward.
Slowly pull the heel of your foot toward your butt (not all the way up; that's a dangerous angle), stopping when you feel tension in your quadriceps. Be sure to keep your hips and knees aligned with one another. Do not lock the knee of your supporting leg. Hold, then return to the starting position. Repeat with your left leg.Tags: Total-Body Toning

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of ideas
April 2nd, 2015
Episode 447 of 552 episodes
The California Gold Rush began after the discovery of gold in 1848 at Coloma, near Sacramento. The following year there was a massive influx of prospectors seeking to make their fortunes. By 1851 the tiny settlement of San Francisco had become a major city, with tens of thousands of immigrants, the so-called Forty-Niners, arriving by boat and over land. The gold rush transformed the west coast of America and its economy, but also uprooted local populations of Native Americans and made irreversible changes to natural habitats. Melvyn Bragg is joined by Kathleen Burk, Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at University College London; Jacqueline Fear-Segal, Reader in American History and Culture at the University of East Anglia and Frank Cogliano, Professor of American History at the University of Edinburgh.

Search availability for Borrowdale Self Catering Holidays and book online
Harrogate, United Kingdom
28 October 2015
"overall enjoyable"
Our stay was overall very good, we found the house neatly arranged on arrival. The bed was really comfortable and all the beddings and linen were spotless and fresh. Hosts had also provided a instruction guide for most things and a local Borrowdale history guide which we felt was a nice touch. There were no odd smells in the house and it felt fresh and welcoming.
The cleanliness of the house and its content while more or less good, could have been a bit better. For e.g. many of the utensils like plates, pots, bowls and spoons were a tad dusty and we had to wash all the utensils before using them. Also, we found several spiders in the bath tub's sinkhole in the bathroom and cobwebs on the ceiling. On one occasion we found strands of human hair in the microwave oven.
The heating worked flawlessly and although we don't mind paying for electricity usage, an instructional note on how to top up the electricity meter (an old style analog meter) would have been really helpful. Also, there were no instructions on how to turn on hot shower in the bathroom so the first morning we had to make do with heating water in kettle as the hosts were out of town.
Having said all that, everything else was brilliant and we would fully recommend Borrowdale Self Catering and would stay again whenever we come back to Borrowdale in the future. Full value for money.

Guests For a Summer Wonderland
Penang Anime Matsuri 2017 will be receiving an impressive line-up of guests this year it seems, third time's the charm!
Just look at the list of guests!

Stage Events @ AFA15
This should be the conclusion to all my experiences during the 3 days of AFA.
While in past years, most of my Stage Area experiences bordered to only on-site-experience as photography during session is prohibited.
This year though I've managed to snap some shots (Of those allowed of course), so here they are for your eyes only. =w=
Of those no-photo sessions though, these panels remained in my memory vividly: Show Hayami's voice during the course of Goshiusa panel, Mayayan's magic during Charlotte panel, Akkarin~!!! during Yuruyuri panel, the Japanese comedy skit and Saitama sensei during One Punch Man panel.
Skipped the ARCC and Garakowa movie session though, due to limit of my schedule for the 3 days.

Matsuri of PAM15
Uwaa, only 5 days after the end of Penang Anime Matsuri Summer Party 2015 last weekend (On and off), that I've managed to post-process all my piccies taken during the event itself… orz Finally I can start my after-event report… :P
PAM15 is perhaps the 1st (Or the 2nd if you count Culture Japan Con a couple of years back being the 1st instead) ever larger ACG event of the Northern region of the country, with full collaboration/support from the Penang state government itself.
Anyway, with my trusted steel steed, I head to the venue a couple of hours earlier before the opening hours to beat the traffic as well as finding a good parking bay.
Even as I stepped into the area, I've noticed a large group of comrades already gathered around the ticketing booth to get themselves the entry pass. Much dedication! XDc

Full disclosure - I am the author of OCM :) OCM is a more user friendly layer built on top of Hector. It designed to make some common client use cases a lot simpler. If its a good fit with what you are looking for then by all means use it. As far as I know its about the highest level interface currently available for Java. At its most basic level you use the generated classes like Java Beans to read and write the objects' fields. Then use the Load and Save methods to sync it with Cassandra. Its got a few more features than that but you get the idea. If you find it too high level then definitely go with Hector. You loose so little over using the Thrift interface directly I can't imagine a reason not to use it. Even if something you need is missing it would be a lot better to add it to Hector than to use Thrift directly. Charlie M

The media now decries Russian interference in a part of a country right on its border and why? Did the predictive programming of the 1980's train us to buy the lies from our warhawks? Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis tunes you into a 'New Clear Picture: As Seen On TV'!

A brief history of underdogs
There is no George Mason this year. For the first time since 1995, in fact, there are no double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16.
But it's still the time of year we think of underdogs, whether it's the NCAA Tournament or the Chicago Cubs gearing up for another This Is The Wait 'Til Next Year year.
So in honor of this mind-set, Page 2 presents a brief, very unofficial history of underdogs.
It is often reported that in the first World Series in 1903, the National League champion Pittsburgh Pirates were heavy favorites over the American League champion Boston Americans. After all, the AL was the upstart league, just three years old, while the NL had been around since 1876. Plus, the National League was essentially a bunch of arrogant jerks, believing their league to be superior -- a trait it pretty much maintained for the next 100 years. The Sporting News reported that "there is scarcely a Pittsburg [sic] player who will not have money on the result." (Pete Rose was obviously born 60 years too late.)
Donald Miralle/Getty Images
We hear that Pete Rose is a big fan of underdogs especially on the money line.
Anyway, the Pirates were a little banged up entering the series, Bill Dinneen and Cy Young combined for five wins, and the Americans won five games to three. But we can't really call them the first underdog.
David vs. Goliath
The Christians vs. the Romans
Hannibal vs. the Romans
Europe vs. the Black Plague
Robert the Bruce and the Scots vs. Edward II and the English
Romeo vs. the Capulets
The American revolutionary forces vs. the British army
Harry Truman vs. Thomas Dewey
Converse vs. Nike
Apple vs. Microsoft
James J. Braddock: The Cinderella Man, popularized in recent years by the movie starring Russell Crowe and a Jeremy Schaap biography, defeated Max Baer for the heavyweight crown in 1935. In the movie, Baer was depicted as a mean, brutish, cocky killer. While Baer had killed a man in the ring, the depiction was overstated. Braddock, however, was a journeyman fighter (26 career defeats) and his 10-1 underdog status was warranted. Verdict: Yes.
Joe Namath and the '68 Jets were prototypical underdogs who ultimately made history.
It's easy to see why the Colts were 18-point favorites in Super Bowl III: at 11-3, the Jets had the third-best record in the AFL while the 13-1 Colts had steamrolled the NFL, outscoring their opponents 402-144. Though he was only 25 when he won the Super Bowl, Joe Namath played in just one more playoff game in his career. Verdict: Yes.
1969 Mets
The Miracle Mets had finished in ninth place in 1968, so the 1969 pennant was a surprise, and they were heavy underdogs in the World Series against a powerful Orioles team that had won 109 games. On the other hand, the Mets did win 100 games and featured Cy Young winner Tom Seaver and 17-game winner Jerry Koosman. The Mets weren't really as good as your typical 100-win team, however: Their runs scored/runs allowed totals suggest a 92-win team and they were ninth in the NL in runs scored. And the O's truly were an all-time great team. Verdict: Yes.
1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team
We all know the background: the Soviets were the best team in the world (they had gone 5-3-1 in exhibition games against NHL teams and routed an NHL all-star team 6-0), the U.S. team was a bunch of college kids and had lost 10-3 to the Soviets in a final Olympic tuneup.
What is often forgotten though, is that many of the U.S. players went on to excellent NHL careers. Mark Johnson totaled more than 500 points. Ken Morrow won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders. Mike Ramsey played 19 seasons. Neal Broten scored 289 goals and had a 100-point season. Mark Pavelich had several good years with the Rangers. Dave Christian scored 340 goals. Verdict: Yes. Miracle? Indeed. (OK, even if the Soviet coach screwed up by yanking the great Vladislav Tretiak after the first period.)

Smarty Jones was a great story, but he was the Kentucky Derby favorite -- not an underdog.
Ah, the horse who captured our hearts in 2004 like a seventh-grade crush. His story was straight from the imagination of J.K. Rowling: his owners had a small breeding operation, his original trainer was murdered, he fractured his skull while training as a 2-year-old, his first race was at a small track outside Philadelphia, and his jockey was an unknown who had never run in the Kentucky Derby. Nevertheless, Smarty did enter the Derby unbeaten in six races. Verdict: No. While he may have been the horse from the "wrong side of the tracks" Smarty was favored to win the Derby.
2005 Steelers
The 11-5 Steelers became the only No. 6 seed to win the Super Bowl, after beating the Bengals, Colts and Broncos on the road in the AFC playoffs and beating 13-3 Seattle in the Super Bowl. Verdict: No. While their three road victories were unprecedented, two of the Steelers' five losses came when Ben Roethlisberger was injured, and they were actually favored over Seattle.

Several great quarterbacks were underdogs early in their careers:
Johnny Unitas: Ninth-round pick by the Steelers out of Louisville, he was released and played a year of semipro football before signing with the Colts.
Bart Starr: A 17th-round pick by the Packers in 1956. The first pick of the draft was Colorado State QB Gary Glick, who was converted to safety by the Steelers (now you know why the Steelers had just four winning seasons from 1950 to 1971).
Doug Benc/Getty Images
Nice job, NFL scouts. Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon went undrafted.
Joe Montana: The last pick of the third round in '79, three quarterbacks were selected ahead of him: Jack Thompson, Phil Simms, Steve Fuller.
Dave Krieg: Eleventh on the all-time passing yards list, Krieg was undrafted out of now-defunct Milton College.
Tom Brady: Sixth-rounder in 2000, selected after Chad Pennington, Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redman, Tee Martin, Marc Bulger and somebody named Spergon Wynn. Really, we didn't make that up. Go ahead, Google it.
Next to the World Cup, the European Championship, held every four years, is soccer's biggest tournament. Obviously, traditional powerhouses like Italy, Germany, England and France are the usual favorites.
But recent tournaments have seen two mammoth underdogs shockingly win the whole thing. In 1992, Denmark -- which was in the tournament only as a replacement for war-torn Yugoslavia -- stunned Germany 2-0 in the final. It would kind of be like if the 2004-05 Indiana Pacers had been kicked out of the playoffs because Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest got into a gunfight in the locker room, so the NBA put the Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs instead and they won the whole thing.
In Euro 2004, Greece was 100-to-1 to win it all. In the knockout stage, it beat England, the Czech Republic and host Portugal, all by 1-0 scores, to win the title. This would be akin to a predictable, overwritten romantic comedy about a Greek woman trying to find love grossing over $240 million at the box office.

By: Joginder Tuteja, IndiaFM
Tuesday, June 13, 2006
Produced by Farrah Dibaa Sultan Ahmed, Husn - Love and Betrayal has been ready for quite some time but may eventually see a release this summer. Directed by debutant Imtiaz Ali, this love story cum thriller also marks the debut of male lead Yuvaraj Parashar who has Parmita Katkar, Nehtra Raghuraman and Sameer Dharmadhikari for company. Aadesh Srivastava and Sameer pair up for majority of numbers while Ismail Darbar and Nida Fazli are roped in for a single.
Album begins on a surprising note as Kunal Ganjawala and Alka Yagnik pair up for a melodious 'Teri Aankhon Se' that has a distinct Jatin-Lalit flavor to it. A song that is a good mix of melody and rhythm, it has a good Indian base with adequate western arrangements in the background to make it a peppy-n-enjoyable number. Both Kunal and Alka are quite competent here as they sing with their heart in the song without giving any indication that the song is for a film with a lesser known starcast. If this track would have been composed for a biggie, it may have been splashed all over so far! A good beginning!
Shaan arrives on the scene with a solo 'Manzil Manzil' that is the most publicized song of the album so far. Even when the film was being readied for release a few months back, 'Manzil Manzil' was the song that was heard and seen most. Now with the film finally arriving at theatres, the song is being promoted again all over again. The song seems to be the introduction number of the hero who declares to the world about his crusade to get the all the love and fun in the world. A mid/late 90s kind of number that sounds fine but has a feel of deja vu around it.
Aadesh Srivastava chooses to pick up the mike himself for 'Ya Ali Maula Ali' that starts on a similar note as 'Jab Jab Choodi Khanke Re' [Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega] only to take get into a style of its own. There are also A.R. Rehman influences in this sufi number that has its exquisite musical arrangements as its strong point. Aadesh modulates his voice in a big way to suit the song's style and comes up with a situational track that has a classy feel to it. One wonders at this point whether it was the title of the movie that had made one apprehensive about the film's music as it turns out to be reasonably well so far! There is a remix version of the song too but with hardly any difference or two!
Rajasthani/Gujarati flavor is apparent in 'Nachu Main Nachu', the first few seconds of which makes one remember 'Ghoomar Re' [Chup Chup Ke] that came just recently and had a similar setting. Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Madhavi, the song has an ethnic flavor to it as the two girls sing along for a number that sounds like an item number with a folk flavor. It's the arrangements factor again that makes the tune take a slight edge over numerous other songs belonging to similar genre. Another fair number with a feel that is different from the ones preceding it!
When one reads the credits as Ismail Darbar and Nida Fazli for a number, one expects a song with a strong classical base to it. Surprisingly its an absolute about turn in case of 'Ladki Ka Ladki Se' that is a strange mix of Western and Indian music making it a tasteless 'bhelpuri'. With some of the most sub-standard lyrics ever written by Fazli saab, 'Ladki Ka' could well be the most uninspiring song ever by Ismail Darbar. Extremely poor number with equally screechy rendition by Vinod Rathod, it thankfully comes in the end but eventually spoils whatever impact that Aadesh Srivastava's songs preceding it had made.
Leave out 'Ladki Ka Ladki Se' and you have a reasonably decent album in the form of Husn - Love and Betrayal. None of the tracks may be chartbuster materials but as a part of the album, they do not disappoint. Still, the lack of any start value, film's title and lack of any buzz would largely make this effort by Aadesh go missing.

Okiku was an ubume, a female mourning ghost in the tale Okiku and the Nine Plates. [1]
Phoenix Version Edit
Uncovering a plot Edit
Okiku was a maidservant of the Asako. She heard a group of samurai led by the Rikugunshokan Aoyama to kill the Asako Daimyo and lord of Kyuden Asako. She informed her samurai lover who informed the Daimyo. But the plot was foiled without directly implicating Aoyama and he was merely demoted. [2]
Death Edit
Aoyama schemed for months, and eventually involved Okiku with stealing a porcelain dish under Okiku's responsibility. Okiku fled when she discovered it was gone, as a guilty. She was caught by Aoyama's cronies, tortured to death, and her body was thrown into one of the castle wells, fouling it and making it unfit to drink from. Her body was soon found, and Aoyama convicted of her murder. [3]
After Death Edit
Okiku's spirit was strong and his voice could be heard every night near the well, counting the plates and looking for the missing one. A small shrine was built to honor Okiku near the well. Most of the Asako think of her a brave woman who sacrificed her life for her lord, and for this reason her spirit has never been driven from the castle. Many of the servants throw an occasional offering into Okiku's well. [3]
Dragon Version Edit
Mirumoto Aoyama was a Lord called "the Victorious", who boasted many victories in battle and duels within the court. He was rewarded by the Dragon Clan Champion with a beautiful servant, Okiku, and ten golden plates. Aoyama in his dotage he had become greedy, selfish, and quite lecherous, who wished to make Okiku his lover. He hid one of the ten golden plates, which she polished every night, and let Okiku believe that she had carelessly lost the gift. The servant refused to become his lover in return for Aoyama to overlook the matter, and she was killed by the guards. This night and every other one after this Okiku's soul returned to clean each golden plate again and again, counting one to nine and screeching at the number ten. Aoyama could not rest and an Ise Zumi monk said that in order for the spirit to leave, Aoyama must repent. He confessed his crimes and this night she shouted TEN! as Okiku's count neared the end, and the spirit vanished. Aoyama was sent away in disgrace and never seen again. [4]

Face book updates on breastfeeding pictures
yay! getting better! Now if only they would actually look at pictures before removing them. I've had a couple photos pulled from facebook and instagram where absolutely nothing was showing... Like a picture of me in a v-neck shirt showed more!
I agree very much. i had a picture of my first child removed yes she was naked (at birth) but nothing was showing
Incredible. A few of us had to fight tooth and nail to get some pictures of dog fights taken down. Dog fighting is illegal. Breastfeeding is not. Go figure.

A wonderful property. We had a great time staying in the Betty Boo Villa. Described perfectly. Please a price list for 2018.
Perfect location for all the parks. Villa was central to all parks and shopping. Villa clean and tidy. Bedrooms and bathrooms especially well decorated. Ideal family base.
Had a fabulous two week stay at the villa with my family! Bernie the owner made our stay so much better with all her help and advice! Would 100% book again with the owner and would have no hesitation in recommending it to family and friends!! Cant wait to go back 😊
Only 15mins from Disney and a really easy drive there. On the way back then loads of restaurants to visit. Very close to large supermarket.
Large open plan villa with all the the things you need. Simple but adequate sized pool.
Overall - very cost effective way to visit Orlando area to do all the parks.
The owner was incredibly brilliant with communication before the visit. Thank you
really enjoyed our stay in villa. yes you need a car to get around. had everything we needed as you are out all day.
An enjoyable fortnight spent in the Villa. Value for money was very good and it contained all the facilities advertised and required for a relaxing break. The booking process and the communication between the relevant parties was first class. Had an issue with the pool when it turned cloudy and went green. Contacted Kim from the Management Company on the holiday Sunday (Monday was July 4th) and she had a pool guy onsite to rectify the issue (mechanical filter fault I believe) first thing Tuesday 5th thus having minimal impact to us as a family as we planned to be in the Disney Parks anyway, so many thanks to Kim for the great service.
