The H10 Ocean Suites Hotel is a four-star getaway ideal for couples and families, with everything you need for a fun and relaxing holiday within easy reach. Formerly a small fishing village, Corralejo is now a popular and high quality resort, with an authentic Fuerteventura feel as well as modern and convenient amenities including shops, bars and restaurants.
Recently renovated and with 200 junior suites available, all rooms have air conditioning, en suite bathrooms and private balconies, as well as flat screen TVs. Evening entertainment is provided for by the hotel, and there's also a kid's club so you can relax while the children are taken care of. For a delicious meal, head to Parrots restaurant where you'll find a varied buffet and a sheltered terrace surrounded by lush gardens.
Making every effort to entertain you during your stay, the H10 Ocean Suites Hotel provides a tennis court for friendly matches and bike rental so you can explore the local area with ease. There's a year-round outdoor pool for the whole family to use, as well as a sun terrace and garden for strolls and sunbathing. For venturing further afield, you can rent a car via the hotel itself or speak to a friendly member of our team at the tour desk who can tell you where you can go to find the best attractions for you and your family to visit.
The beach is easily accessible from the H10 Ocean Suites hotel as it's a mere 300m away and is worth the short walk for the lovely white sand and blue seas. Just a little further along are even more unspoiled beaches for you to explore. The port itself is less than 2km away, and from there you can visit the islands of Lobos, Lanzarote by boat.

Once just a tiny fishing village on the north coast of Fuerteventura, Corralejo's harbour now receives ferries full of day-trippers from Playa Blanca in Lanzarote every day and the town plays host to hundreds of holidaymakers who are drawn to spend a sunny, sandy holiday in the island's tourist magnet. Although tourism is booming and development is keeping pace, the little port still retains its charm. Just outside the town is a protected nature reserve festooned with miles of sand dunes. The surrounding beaches are more than inviting and visitors to this Spanish resort town are spoilt for choice with beaches such as the sheltered Playa la Clavellina just near the harbour, or Playa del Medano which joins to Playa de Viejo. Playa del Pozo is also located just outside of Corralejo and is popular with nudists.
Resort Rating
Among the activities to keep holidaymakers busy in Corralejo are a variety of watersports, tennis, glass-bottom boat trips, ferry trips to Lanzarote, jeep safaris, island tours, mountain biking and motorcycle tours. The Baku Waterpark and Golf complex is centrally located.
While in Corralejo, recommended eateries for holidaymakers are El Bribon, The Point Restaurant, El Pescador or the Taverna Los Piratas Bar Tapas. The waterfront promenade boasts numerous restaurants and cafes, most in converted historic houses. Corralejo's restaurants offer a wide choice, from good old English fish and chips to Mexican tacos or Indian curry. There is even a smattering of eateries serving up Canarian cuisine and fresh seafood.
Most of the bars and restaurants in Corralejo are on the main street, Calle General Franco. There is a variety of bars and clubs, with everything from sports bars and karaoke to dance clubs and live music. The high street and town square have a number of quieter restaurants and lounges. The clubs close around 1am, and the bars stay open later. Grab a copy of the free Fuerteventura Grapevine magazine for event listings and a nightlife guide.

A motorist has described hitting a pothole as 'like a bomb going off' as he warns others about the state of the roads in north Northumberland.
Alaister Borland was driving along the B1330 between Amble and Hadston when he came across what is described as a 'six-foot gash' in the road.
The 46-year-old from Amble was left with lower back pain from the incident and the front far-side tyre came away from the wheel.
He said: "I was about halfway along the road, heading north towards North Broomhill.
"I hit a series of what I now know as potholes in the road making my car judder.
"Just a few seconds after that I hit another pothole, but this time I heard what sounded like a bomb going off under my car.
"At the same time I was thrown down into my seat losing control of my car momentarily, it was a very scary experience.
"The amount of potholes everywhere is absolutely ridiculous.
"This one had been reported, but nothing had been done about it, the council has just left it.
"And when I spoke to a councillor about it I got a ridiculous reply,
"They said they 'put it down to bad driving'.
"But it was 8.30pm, it was dark and the pothole was filled with water, I just couldn't see it.
"To say it is bad driving is just stupid."
Another reader contacted the Gazette after a car was left at his farm with two flat tyres and other damage from hitting a pothole.
Graham Carr, of Henhill Farm, near Lucker, was left with the black Vauxhall Corsa, after it was damaged by a pothole near the property.
Mr Carr said: "This is the second time I've told the council via Fixmystreet.com about this and a few others, which to be fair they have just dropped some tar into, but it just comes out again."
He added that the council saying they will fix all the potholes in the county by June is a 'joke'.
Coun Grant Davey, leader of Northumberland County Council, said: "As part of the budget last week, the council decided to approve measures to tackle the backlog of potholes across Northumberland. We know that this is a major issue for local people which is why we committed an extra £600,000 to tackle the problem and accelerate the programme of pothole repairs across the county, bringing the backlog under control by the end of June 2014 – three months earlier than anticipated.
"That backlog now stands at around 12,000 and we're confident that the new Jetpatcher equipment and extra staff we've invested in will finish all these repairs by July."
Anyone interested can check how the council is getting on with pothole repairs on its website at www.north umberland.gov.uk

For Immediate Release
Jan. 28, 2013
Washington, D.C.—Fundraisers for colleges and universities estimate that giving to their institutions grew 5.5 percent in 2012 and predict additional growth of 5.8 percent in 2013, according to survey results released by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
"If the initial estimate for 2012 holds true, giving to higher education will have exceeded the high watermark set just prior to the recession," said CASE President John Lippincott. "This is very good news."
Giving to higher education reached a record $31.6 billion for the 2007-08 academic year before a steep decline attributable to the global economic downturn. Donations gradually recovered to reach $30.3 billion in 2010-11, according to the Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) report issued by the Council for Aid to Education.
The predicted growth rate of 5.8 percent for higher education institutions in 2013 is equal to the average annual growth rate for the past 20 years, based on VSE figures.
The CASE Fundraising Index, or CFI, is conducted twice a year and asks fundraising professionals to estimate the level of charitable giving to their institutions for the 12-month period just ended and to predict the level for the 12 months ahead.
In addition to fundraising estimates for colleges and universities (public and private, two-year and four-year), the CFI includes estimates for pre-collegiate independent (private) schools.
The independent school respondents estimated an increase of 5.7 percent in fundraising for 2012 and predicted an increase of 4.4 percent in 2013.
The 5.6 percent growth in giving estimated for all institution types at the close of 2012 is 1 percent higher than the 4.6 percent growth fundraisers predicted at its beginning, said Lippincott.
"The increased optimism among fundraisers may reflect a number of factors, including what they are hearing directly from donors about their growing confidence in the economy," Lippincott said.
"Another factor contributing to the uptick in giving in 2012 may have been donor concern about federal government proposals to reduce the value of the charitable tax deduction during the 'fiscal cliff' negotiations," he added. "We heard anecdotally that some donors made major gifts in late 2012 to ensure that they received the full tax benefit of their philanthropy.
"Thankfully, the proposed reductions were not adopted. The charitable tax deduction remains linked to the donor's marginal tax rate, which has been critically important to our strong tradition of philanthropic support of education in the United States," Lippincott said.
Lippincott noted that fundraisers at public institutions of higher education were generally more optimistic looking both back at 2012 and forward in 2013 than their counterparts at private institutions.
"Fundraisers at community colleges were the most optimistic of any group, predicting a 7 percent increase for 2012 and a 6.8 percent increase for 2013," he added. "Many community colleges began investing in their fundraising programs only recently, and they are now beginning to see strong returns on those investments."
Lippincott stressed that the CFI percentages are averages and that performance at individual institutions will vary based on a variety of factors, such as the maturity of the fundraising program and whether or not the institution is in a campaign.
Lippincott said the CFI is intended to complement work being done by other organizations that provide detailed analyses of giving based on actual results reported several months after the close of the calendar or academic year. It is also intended to help fundraisers set preliminary benchmarks for past and future performance.
The CFI is based on an online survey of senior-level fundraising professionals at more than 2,100 CASE-member institutions in the United States conducted during the first weeks of January. The January 2013 CFI survey had a response rate of 11.7 percent. Results of the CFI since its inception in July 2008 and resources related to the charitable deduction can be found on the CASE website.
The 20-year average growth rate for giving to education is based on the Council for Aid to Education's annual Voluntary Support of Education survey.
About CASE
The Council for Advancement and Support of Education is a professional association serving educational institutions and the advancement professionals who work on their behalf in alumni relations, communications, development, marketing and allied areas.
CASE was founded in 1974 and maintains headquarters in Washington, D.C., with offices in London (CASE Europe, 1994), Singapore (CASE Asia-Pacific, 2007) and Mexico City (CASE América Latina, 2011).
Today, CASE's membership includes nearly 3,700 colleges and universities, primary and secondary independent and international schools, and non-profit organizations in more than 80 countries around the globe. This makes CASE one of the world's largest non-profit educational associations in terms of institutional membership. CASE serves more than 85,000 practitioners.
To fulfill their missions and to meet both individual and societal needs, colleges, universities and independent schools rely on—and therefore must foster—the good will, active involvement, informed advocacy and enduring support of alumni, donors, prospective students, parents, government officials, community leaders, corporate executives, foundation officers and other external constituencies.
CASE helps its members build stronger relationships with all of these constituencies by providing relevant research, supporting growth in the profession and fostering support of education. CASE also offers a variety of advancement products and services, provides standards and an ethical framework for the profession and works with other organizations to respond to public issues of concern while promoting the importance of education worldwide.

Titan Quest Update Interview @ RPG Vault
by Kalia, 2006-06-12 18:28:00RPG Vault is beginning a weeklong series of interviews and features about the upcoming action RPG, Titan Quest. Today they interview Iron Lore members Brian Sullivan and Tom Potter.
Jonric: How much technical knowledge is required to use it (the level editor- editor's comment), and in what ways are you planning to support users?Read it all here.
Tom Potter: Of course, to make a level really stand out, you need to know how to use all of the more advanced options. And by their nature, advanced options might be more difficult for casual users to grasp initially - like editing water parameters, adding fog layers - so we'll be moderating forums and helping people through any problems they might encounter. We're making tutorial videos to supplement the text instructions that ship with the game. We'll also be supporting the editor in any Titan Quest updates or future products. We're dying to get feedback from everyone, and I've got my own huge wish list, so expect the editor to get better and better with time.

Study: Faith in Court System Tumbles Among Haredim, Settlers
Only 36 percent of Israeli Jews have faith in the court system; public trusts police even less.
Only 36 percent of the general Jewish public - meaning those who are neither ultra-Orthodox nor settlers - expressed great faith in the court system this year, down from 61 percent in 2000, a multiyear study has found.
Among the ultra-Orthodox public, only 9 percent trust the court system, down from 14 percent last year and 15 percent in 2000. Nevertheless, this community's trust level does not seem to be particularly affected by any specific ruling; it has remained far below that of the general population throughout the decade, the study concluded.
The 10-year study, which also surveyed trust in the police, was conducted by Prof. Arye Rattner, a sociologist and criminologist at Haifa University.
Aside from the Haredim, the other group with very low levels of trust in the courts is the settlers. Only 20 percent currently say they trust the courts, down from 46 percent in 2000.
The Supreme Court still outpolls other courts. This year, 56 percent of the general Jewish public expressed great faith in that court, along with 51 percent of Israeli Arabs and 25 percent of settlers - though only 9 percent of Haredim.
But while the figure for the general Jewish public represents a slight uptick from last year's 53 percent, it is still a steep decline from 80 percent in 2000. The same goes for the Arab public, where about two-thirds had great faith in the Supreme Court 10 years ago, and even the Haredi public, where the figure was 19 percent a decade ago.
Rattner noted that the public does not always distinguish between the Supreme Court and the lower courts, so greater distrust of one easily translates into greater distrust of the other.
Complex proceedings
The main cause of the decline in the courts' standing is the length and complexity of legal proceedings, which many Israelis have experienced personally, Rattner said.
Indeed, one thing almost all Israelis agreed on is that the courts are inefficient. When respondents were asked to rank the courts' efficiency on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, the average score was only 2.25 - though Israeli Arabs gave the courts a higher rating of 3.
Another factor contributing to the decline, Rattner suggested, was the Supreme Court's "excessive involvement" when sitting as the High Court of Justice in controversial religious, social and defense issues. This has made the court itself controversial, he said.
Examples of such controversial rulings include a 2006 decision that the Interior Ministry must register gay couples as married if they were legally married overseas, even though Israeli law does not permit same-sex marriage, and a 2009 decision to open Route 443, a major Tel Aviv-Jerusalem artery, to Palestinian traffic.
Several public spats over Supreme Court appointments that seemed to have personal rather than substantive motives have also not helped, Rattner added.
Regarding the Haredim, Rattner said their distrust is deep-rooted and lacks any objective cause. Indeed, based on their respective communities' treatment by the courts, Arab Israelis have far more grounds for complaint than the Haredim do, he said.
"It's possible to say that the Haredi sector's attitude toward all elements of the justice system is consistent and almost totally negative, without any connection to this or that incident," Rattner concluded.
In contrast to the courts, the police have a poor image among the entire the public. Only 24 percent of the general Jewish public expressed great faith in the police. This is up from 19 percent last year, but is still below the 2000 figure of 32 percent, Rattner said.
Among Israeli Arabs, the figure was 20 percent, down from 23 percent last year, while among Haredim and settlers, it was only 15 percent, compared with 14 percent last year.
The study also found a sharp decline in the proportion of people who deemed the courts fair. Among Haredim, the number fell from 22 percent in 2000 to 13 percent this year, and among settlers, it fell from 58 percent to 32 percent. For the general Jewish public and Israeli Arabs, this year's figures were much higher, at 53 and 51 percent respectively, but still down from 71 and 60 percent in 2000.
This year, for the first time, the study also asked respondents to rate the courts' legitimacy on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being highest. The Haredi public gave the courts' legitimacy a score of only 2, compared with 3.5 among the general Jewish public.
The 10-year decline in faith in the courts "constitutes a grave blow to one of the most important foundations of the legal system in a democratic society - legitimacy," Rattner concluded. "Our specific question on this issue in 2010 indicates that the legal system's legitimacy has indeed been damaged in the eyes of various sectors of Israeli society."

Dear Ann Landers: Last weekend, we celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. This morning, they left on a long-awaited trip to Hawaii. They were as excited as if it were their honeymoon.
When my parents married, they had only enough money for a three-day trip 50 miles from home. They made a pact that each time they made love, they would put a dollar in a special metal box and save it for a honeymoon in Hawaii for their 50th anniversary.

NEWSPAPERS and TV stations have been banned from digitally altering images of MPs under new media rules announced yesterday.
Regulations for media in Parliament House state "photographs of parliamentary proceedings and associated captions and editorial comment ... must be used only for the purposes of fair and accurate reports of proceedings, not be digitally manipulated".
It comes after The Daily Telegraph ran a controversial page 1 image depicting former speaker and serial political defector Peter Slipper as a rat in November last year.
At the time, sergeant-at-arms Robyn McClelland wrote to editor Paul Whittaker, vowing to refer the matter to parliament's "media review" and threatening "sanctions", stating that pictures taken in parliament could not be used for "satire or ridicule".
For the first time, the media rules also apply to MPs - including the ban on digital alterations. It means shadow treasurer Joe Hockey would be unable to repeat his 2011 stunt of carrying around a cardboard cut-out of former prime minister Kevin Rudd and posting images online.
The regulations also block journalists from asking people inside Canberra's Parliament House what they think of their elected representatives.
"Impromptu or 'vox pop' style interviews with members of the public visiting Parliament House are prohibited,'' the rules say.
It is believed some MPs supported imposing this ban.
The changes were approved by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Anna Burke, and the President of the Senate, John Hogg. They follow a parliamentary review and apply from February 5 next year.
Journalists who break the rules risk penalties such as being blocked from entering Parliament House for a day.
If they repeatedly ignore restrictions, a company's entire staff cohort could be stripped of parliamentary press passes for "a specific period''.
Press Gallery President Phillip Hudson said forbidding vox pops with members of the public inside some Parliament House precincts is undemocratic.
"We consider it to be a ridiculous curb on democracy at the Parliament,'' he said. "We believe we should be allowed to approach members of the public and politely ask for an interview and if they say no we move on the same rules that apply in any public place. We are hopeful this issue can be re-visited.''

Most people, given the chance, would like to make their smiles brighter. However, it isn't always necessary to spend money on expensive dentists in order to improve the brilliance of your smile.
Teeth whitening can take many shapes and formats. So long as you understand the concept, anyone can dazzle their friends and family with a brilliant smile, some secrets surrounding teeth whitening that you should know including the following:
1). Before you start worrying about making your teeth whiter, it is essential that you make every effort not to stain your teeth further. This means identifying any and all staining agents in your life and giving them a wide berth where possible.
Beverages with acidic components are the primary culprits here, this including soda, sports drinks, wine, and even foods likes tomatoes, yogurt, and soy sauce.
It is almost impossible to avoid foods rich in staining agents. However, by consuming these food items infrequently, it is possible to control the level of staining that your teeth will manifest.
2). Water is essential to anyone trying to keep their teeth clean and white. While most people understand the importance of brushing and flossing after every meal, very few individuals remember to swish their mouths with water every time they take a bite of a snack or a sip of a drink.
By swishing water in your mouth every time you eat, you can prevent dulling and staining agents from remaining in contact with the surface of your teeth for extended periods of time, this reducing the amount of damage they can do.
3). Crunchy fruits and vegetables are a natural yet overlooked tool for cleaning and scrubbing teeth. Hard fruits and vegetables will give your teeth the sort of scrubbing they need to loosen particles and bacteria left over from a meal. Chewing gum, by virtual of the fact that it causes saliva to flow into your mouth, will also wash away acids that can sit on your teeth, causing dulling and staining.
4). Where tooth whitening becomes necessary, the process can be undertaken at home. There are various at-home-tooth whitening kits that individuals can use to remove superficial stains by themselves. Most of them utilize a bleaching compound known as carbide peroxide that can remove deep as well as surface stains.
5). If you have no patience for complicated at-home-tooth whitening kits, try investing in teeth-whitening strips. Thin and nearly invisible, they are coated with whitening gel and worn for a few minutes every day for a few weeks, with results manifesting in mere days and lasting for over a year.
Strips are a very simple method to use.
6). Because most people have the sense to brush their teeth on a regular basis, you can always improve the brilliance of your teeth by investing in whitening toothpaste and rinses. These over-the-counter products contain mild abrasives that can remove surface stains. Unlike bleaching products, whitening toothpaste does not change the natural color of your teeth.
Individuals with dental veneers, fillings, crowns and the like are encouraged to approach the tooth whitening process carefully, lest they attract some unexpected and unfortunate side effects.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Convicted child molester and ex-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was transferred to a different prison Tuesday, Pennsylvania officials said.
Sandusky had been held at the Centre County prison since his sentencing Oct. 9. He was taken to Camp Hill prison, the Centre Daily Times of State College reported. He will undergo an evaluation so the state can determine to which prison he should be sent to permanently serve out his 30-60-year term following his conviction in August for serial child molestation while defensive coordinator under famed coach Joe Paterno.
In other legal news related to the Sandusky abuse scandal, school officials have asked to put off a lawsuit filed by Mike McQueary, the former graduate assistant who came upon Sandusky raping a boy in a shower.
Penn State lawyers asked for a delay until the conclusion of criminal proceedings against former university Vice President Gary Schultz and Athletic Director Tim Curley. Schultz and Curley are charged with perjury in covering up Sandusky's abuse after McQueary notified Paterno about what he'd seen. Investigators said Paterno and McQueary told Schultz and Curley about the allegations but no police report was ever filed. Sandusky was forbidden from using the school's locker room.
McQueary, who had gone on to become the team's quarterbacks coach, saw his contract expire in June. He is suing the school for $4 million in lost wages and legal fees, arguing his treatment by the university has damaged his reputation and cost him that much in future earnings.
The perjury charges against Schultz and Curley are expected to go to trial in January.
Penn State lawyers noted in their request to delay McQueary's lawsuit that several other civil claims have been put off until after all related criminal cases have been resolved.

I put up a couple of quotes on Goodreads, but I'm more of a fan of readers selecting favorite quotes. This is why I'm anxious to view the "Popular highlights" feature on Amazon once it appears. Because the book is a new release, it takes a while for it to show up on all the searches and lists. Did I mention how thrilled I am that the initial response has been positive? Not just from reviews, but the e-mails and personal messages I've received have been awesome.
Something I do want to mention: Often when I read books, I sigh a little because I feel like I never get to know a little more about other characters. Personally, I don't like writing novellas. My main story revolves around Silver, but I hate ignoring other stories that need to be told. That's all that I'll say about that. :)
I think if you haven't read Patricia Briggs, that you would enjoy the "Mercy Thompson" series (these are spinoff books).
On a side note, I have to laugh at this because a friend of mine thought readers might think I looked like a school teacher. I'm not sure what's wrong with that, because it shouldn't matter how an author looks, and I would hate to put off anyone because I didn't have the right outfit on. I've chosen to remain behind the scenes, at least for now, and let my books do all the talking. I did stick a picture on my "About Me" Page of the blog - but the only thing you're going to see is what I look like almost every day when I get home from work and start working on my writing. ;-) I'm just a regular person, with a job, a broke down car with a window that sticks, who just so happens to enjoy pouring my imagination into stories.
Stories I hope that you as a reader will enjoy.

Love PB but I have yet to pick up Alpha and Omega. As for your pic, a little camera shy but loving the red hair! :)ReplyDelete
P.S. there's nothing wrong with looking like a teacher, if not for those hard working people, the world would be a dumber place than it already is and that's a nightmare!Replies
Well I always did like the great and powerful Oz...it was almost no fun when we saw the guy behind the curtain ;-)Delete
I agree! Kudos to all the schoolteachers for an underpaid and undervalued job.

My Bogotá: Travel Tips from María Cristina (Macky) Osorio, United Airlines
Known to many friends and family as Macky, Maria Cristina Osorio was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. She's based in Houston, Texas now, where she serves as director of international communications at United Airlines. But she quite justifiably has great affection for her hometown — and in this exclusive interview, she shares her favorite Bogotá travel tips and talks about how this fast-growing destination has evolved.
How has Bogotá changed since you left?
I left Bogotá many years ago, and the city has changed tremendously. Bogota is now one of the largest cities in Latin America, with almost 9 million residents. It's a city full of contrasts, offering everything from old colonial churches, to all kinds of cultural events, international cuisine, parks… and, of course, frenetic traffic and modern skyscrapers. I love the contrasts. Even though I have lived in a lot of different places, I still feel at home in Bogota and sometimes still can find the city of my childhood in some corners, even as I'm discovering this new modern, energetic capital.
As a local, what do you personally like best about Bogotá?
I love the city's location and its surroundings! The Sabana de Bogotá is surrounded by the Cordillera de los Andes mountain range and because of its very high altitude (2640 meters, 8661 feet) and the frequent rain, the diversity of vegetation and trees is just amazing. Then, going from nature to culture, the city offers an immense variety of cultural events… for example, the Ibero-American Theater Festival is the largest of its kind in the world. Two million people attend the 450 performances each year in theaters and on the streets of Bogota.
What are some of your own personal favorite restaurants in Bogotá, and what dishes do you recommend?
Andrés Carne de Res, located in a little town close to Bogota called Chia, has to be one of my favorites. Its décor is one-of-a-kind, with all kinds of articles hanging from the walls and ceilings, plus diners get to enjoy music and performance art from waiters and staff! They serve typical Colombian dishes, and there's a bar and dancing in the evening. I also like Casa Vieja (the one across from the San Diego church downtown). And my favorite dish is Ajiaco santafereño, a very hearty soup that contains pieces of chicken, large chunks of corn on the cob, two or three kinds of native potatoes (tiny papas criollas that fall apart and thicken the soup), cream, capers and avocado and, of course, guasca, a very aromatic herb.
What other venues would you recommend for business travelers who need to meet with colleagues or clients for drinks and entertaining, or perhaps for a couple looking for a romantic night out?
There are several entertainment zones that are great for travelers — Zona T, PARQUE 93, Zona G, Zona M, Usaquén. All those places have wonderful restaurants with local and international cuisine, bars, cafes and discos.
What are your favorite hotels in Bogotá?
Embassy Suites, JW Marriott, Casa Medina and Hilton Bogotá are all located in the northern area close to Zona G; they're good hotels in very nice neighborhoods with restaurants within walking distance. The Hotel Estelar de la 93 is a brand-new hotel in a good location, within walking distance of Parque 93 where there are great restaurants and bars.
What is your own personal idea of a perfect day in the city?
There are so many great places to visit! Definitely I would suggest going to Monserrate, a mountain that towers over center of Bogota, where you'll get a great view of the city. You shouldn't miss the Gold Museum, which has the largest collection of pre-Hispanic gold work in the world. Then head to the Candelaria zone where old Bogota was founded and where you'll still find colonial homes. It's also close to the presidential palace and Congress. If you have more time, be sure to visit the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira [one of LatinFlyer's "Top 5 Coolest Churches in Latin America"], an underground Catholic church built inside the tunnels of a salt mine 200 meters underground. You will never find anything else like it anywhere and it's located in Zipaquira, a charming little village located about one hour from Bogota.

Maria Cristina Osorio is Director – International Communications – Latin America and the U.S. Latino Market for United Airlines. She is responsible for the airline's public relations activities including media relations, media sponsorships, and travel-industry special events, and supervises a network of agencies throughout Latin America. She studied philosophy and literature at La Salle University, Bogota, Colombia; and German, journalism and art history at the Freie Universitaet in Berlin. A native of Colombia, Osorio also has lived, studied and/or worked in Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Germany.

I have seen truly buriable coax for catv (75 ohm) use - it is filled (flooded) with a tar like substance called "migraheal" which prevents moisture migration. It is available from commscope and is used for some underground applications. No idea whether a 50 ohm equivalent exists. Andrew Heliax and other hardline might be buriable too.

Planted in part sun in my backyard, zone 9b New Port Richey FL (coastal Tampa Bay just N of Clearwater). Tolerated the past winters fine with a light cover....well into the 20'sF (about 27F but below freezing for 10+hours and sleet one morning in '09). It is now waist high and the bloom spike rising. Requires very little care and receives nothing more than occasional spraying and a little food. Grows well with all my other Broms.

Nice specimen plant. Needs copious amounts of water. Only tolerates part sun, and then only when watered daily. I was out of the country for 3 weeks, and my house sitter watered "the top", with only minimal amounts reaching the pot. This nearly killed it. Can reach 6' in diameter. Not sure on cold hardiness as it rarely goes under 60F here in Wailuku, HI. Pups have appeared around the base of the main plant. These were easy to remove (with roots) and re-pot.

I have not grown this plant. I believe that the bloom color is yellow. The photos that I have uploaded were taken at the Kula Botanical Garden and the plant was identified there as being Alcantarea odorata. I am not absolutely positive of the identity. If anyone has additional information to corroborate the ID or to suggest another, please let me know.

Man that thing is looking big and the wings & other boom are not even on it yet
Looks like you need a camera tripod, one you can just move the center up and down with a foam bracket on top to hold the boom

Thanks Paul
Not a bad idea pinky but honestly my books and paraphernalia are doing a pretty good job.
Thanks dag,
You're 36 is coming along too. Can't imagine how many hours you have in that awesome build. Not sure I would have the patience for it. If my builds go over 90 days I tend lose my mojo.
I did a lot of studying pictures last night and found I didn't have enough depth in my initial cuts. I would not have the proper depth of turtledeck over the wings on the nacelles. So I cut an add'l 1/4" out of the starboard airfoils on the boom and adjusted the upward angle of the boom( too much to begin with). After that it looked much better.
So the first boom took most of yesterday to set up. The other boom took about 45 minutes this morning. But I learned a lot yesterday. I squared both booms up side by side and then used a sharpened wire to scribe the airfoil line onto the port boom. Then changed sides and did it again. Once I had that done, the dremel did the rest.
Set both of them up and squared everything. The booms are level at the back, I used a level on it, both verticals are good, it all looks much better with both on. Only problem is that I missed the proper height on the inside airfoil cut and have about a 1/4" gap between the nacelle and the wing. No problem, it gets a fillet anyway so I can fill that in.
Now I have to set up the horizontal stab, cut it to fit, cut the elev free and hinge it. then run wires for the rudders and elev servos before anything can be permanently glued. And yes, it will take some time.
Haven't cut the doors out yet, that will be done right before gluing the booms to the middle section. And yes, I am so not looking forward to the gear doors. Anyone who follows my threads know that I would rather have a root canal.
Sorry, it's really hard to get decent pics in the shop due to the size of it.
Fantastic work thats going to look sweet when its all together
Thanks guys
That's right Jeremy, the extra cold one could not have hurt.
OK, you would think that with all the jigging and rigging up with this beast that the simple flat horizontal stab would be easy, right? Of course not silly! After fitting the stab I cut the elev out and am right now facing all those beautiful angled surfaces.
Just another thing to slow me down. And the wiring will be a bear too after I set the elev servos, it gets two HS-225MG like the rudders.
Walt, I will hold off setting the stab but I need to get it all done and ready because there is a maze of wiring that goes in before I can set the stab in there. They have to run from twin servos all the way up the booms into the wing and from there into the fuse. I should just run them straight into the fuse from the elev and call them antennas!
Nope. The wing middle section and booms will be a complete structure. But it will fit in my trailer, barely.
The stab has ~ 240 sq in of WA.
Now I know when Walt saw those very small and fragile ends on the hor stab that he worried about me breaking the off. Now you know I wouldn't do that. But of course I did. And I was being so careful. I glued some small pieces of 1/8" ply in there to strengthen them. Hopefully they will last until I can get them glued on the booms.
The elev and stab are all balsa capped and ready to be hinged. Now I need to install the servos and wiring. Once that is done I will be able to glue the booms on for good. One pic shows the plastic tubes for the rudder and elev wires. I'll have to determine the exact position of the stab make entrances for the wires and some sideways formers to hold the stab. yeah, sideways, I'll explain that later.

Saints Row 2 Q&A Feature Part 2
TVG: Character customisation is obviously a key part of Saints Row gameplay; why do you think that having such functionality is so important for players of the game?
Well I guess that with customisation, we wanted to reduce any kind of barrier that the player has. If they want to create someone that looks like them; if they want to create someone that looks like their friend, they can do that. Or if they want to create a borderline freak, they can do that all because we didn't want to create restrictions on it. We just think that customisation just adds into player choice, which is the staple thing about open-world games, which is why they're so popular. It's like "Don't restrict me, let me do what I want to do!"
TVG: So you don't think that it hinders character development of the protagonist?
I've been asked that question before, and I see the logic in asking it - but the answer is no. Let's not forget that you can change the way you look mid-way through the game. Once you've doing it, you're not stuck that way. If you find out it's not working for you, then you can go back to a point where it is.
TVG: It's difficult to talk about Saints Row 2 without mentioning GTA IV. The US release date for Saints Row 2 has been announced for the end of August, between the mid-way point between the launch of GTA IV and its Xbox 360 downloadable content at the end of the year. Can you talk about the decision in not shifting it to a date where Saints Row 2 could take advantage of the build up to the Holiday season?
Well you know, that has a lot of to do with internal THQ strategies. I can't get into specifics; I don't want to misrepresent Sales and PR in that context in any case. What I can say is that four months is more than enough for people to get through the competition and be ready for a new experience. The bottom line is that from what I can tell, Saints Row 2 is offering a very unique experience that gamers are going to want to get anyways.
TVG would like to thank Greg Donovan at Volition for taking the time to answer or questions. Saints Row 2 is due for release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at the end of August in North America. A European release is yet to be announced.

The politics behind saving our species
Controlling the trade in wild animals and plants has never been more important.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) says species are disappearing at a rate up to 10,000 times higher than normal.
For plants and animals already in danger, trade controls can often mean the difference between the survival of a species or its loss forever.
The United Nations administered Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) grants varying degrees of protection to around 34,000-traded animals and plants.
The week long committee meeting, starting August 15, deals with the nuts and bolts of the convention in between conferences.
Nicki Chadwick spoke to CITES Secretary General John Scanlon.

The ACM SIGMIS Doctoral Dissertation Competition 2013 is chaired by Sandra Sieber and Joe Valacich. The judges include the faculty who participated at the ICIS 2012 doctoral consortium and possibly other faculty members from the discipline, as will be appropriate to judge the contents of submissions.
Questions about this competition may be addressed to the co-chairs.
To be eligible for the 2013 competition, dissertations must have been completed in the time period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. Authors must have successfully defended their dissertations and should have received the final approval and all required sign-offs on their dissertation document by the June 30, 2013 date.

ICIS encourages submissions from different countries. However, the language of all submitted materials must be English. The following 3 items of documentation are required and they must be submitted as a single "zip" file:
A panel of judges, consisting of the ICIS 2012 doctoral consortium faculty and possibly some other IS faculty, will review each submitted paper. Their evaluations will be used to select those papers that merit more detailed assessment as final candidates for the award. The papers and dissertations of the finalists will be reviewed by a few members of the review panel, who will make the ultimate selection. As this is an award competition, no reviews will be provided to the candidates or the nominators.
The winner of the dissertation award competition will be announced in December 2013 at ICIS in Milano, Italy. There will be no individual notification of the status of any candidate until the official announcement in December.
