Can Obama Do It?
Obama needs to invest every effort in finding ways to tone down the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and creating mechanisms to build mutual trust.
It's hard to count the proposals made to Barack Obama on the appropriate way to deal with the Israeli-Arab conflict. Seasoned State Department officials and ambassadors, journalists and scholars, experts and thinkers have all written books and essays, appeared on television, filed reports and passed on memos.
They all have one thing in common. None of them, for all their profound knowledge, thought that on the day of his inauguration, the incoming president of the United States would have to deal with what's currently going on in Gaza. All the proposal-makers focus on how to reach a final peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, and all of them believe that deeper, more determined involvement by the United States will bring that about.
In discussing past failures in U.S. policy on the issue, the proposal-makers always offer explanations that pertain to the details of each case, as one would expect from diplomats who can't see the forest for the trees. None of them raises the core question - whether the United States is at all capable of resolving complicated national conflicts, or whether the failures we've seen stem from a single, essential issue.
It's very easy to explain the failure of the Camp David Summit in 2000 by saying that then-U.S. president Bill Clinton failed to properly prepare the conference. The same goes for lamenting over George W. Bush's failure to put all his weight behind achieving the road map. It is equally easy to see how an accord was missed because of Yasser Arafat's rejectionism - or Ehud Barak's intransigence. The question that remains unasked is whether reaching an agreement was possible at all.
Those who put forward proposals ignore the fact that the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is not a unique occurrence. Conflicts that share similar characteristics - struggles between national movements that contain elements pertaining to sovereignty, occupation, historic memory and religion - can be observed in Cyprus, Bosnia, Kosovo and Kashmir. In all of them, the United States has tried to offer solutions and has always failed for a simple reason: The parties, or at least one party, did not have the political will to reach an agreement.
It merits mentioning that in the Middle East, the United States is capable of achieving success only in two scenarios. When there is a war, it can end it or temper it. When the parties reach an agreement on their own but still have a few issues that need resolving - as during the visit by Egyptian president Anwar Sadat or when negotiating the Oslo Accords - the United States can push the parties toward a final agreement by using both the carrot and the stick.
In the absence of these two scenarios, and lacking the political will of at least one party, the United States has invariably failed, as could be observed from the Madrid Conference to the Camp David Summit in 2000, the road map and Annapolis - all highly photogenic events that failed to spawn a peace accord.
In all this diplomatic verbosity, the gulf between the two parties is too wide on core issues like Jerusalem, refugees and borders. The Palestinians' inability to form a representative national entity and resolve the differences between Fatah and Hamas through nonviolent means renders negotiations with Israel meaningless. This is the reality with which Obama must contend, and with caution. He needs to invest every effort in finding ways to tone down the conflict and creating mechanisms to build mutual trust.
The Palestinians need assistance in building their institutions. The Israeli presence in the West Bank must be drastically reduced and the expansion of settlements prevented. Gaza needs to be rebuilt - but without rebuilding Hamas' regime there. Should Obama attempt to initiate a dramatic move such as the 2000 Camp David Summit, he will receive some momentary glory and flattering media coverage, but he is destined to fail. He would do better to try to attain what is attainable.

MiniCP + BL + video cam.- 2,4GHz transmitter
Here is a fast test vid.

I started to have a little tail drift also but I found my tail boom had come out of the fuse a mm or 2. I crashed hard one day and the boom was loose. I noticed the end frayed where it's inserted into the fuse. I used white gorilla glue on it. Now after a slight crash the boom comes out a 1/2 mm. I wish I would have measured the boom from the fuse to the tail. Not sure how far the boom should be pushed in.
It doesn't matter much how far in the tail boom is pushed in as long as it's tight enough in the frame. A few mm difference will have no impact on flight performance.
Here are a few things I have done to the mini. First was sanded the inner canopy until the paint came off. I then sprayed it with flourescent orange cement marker spray(its all I have and its kinda chalky feeling). The red receiver light makes the orange glow like a pumpkin! very nice to see in the dark.
Next I cut above the rubber grommets on the canopy to look like a sharp vampire tooth? To gorilla glue(dries white kind, love the stuff, canopy cracks hold forever with this stuff) the little vampire teeth behind where the canopy fits onto the lower landing gear. The canopy stays on tight now. ADDED another pic of a bad gash on the blade. No balancing issues at all!
got my MCP today from banggood....
there is no receiver in the box but banggood clearly state that the package contains one, so I gonna drop them a message and expect them to send one.
hovered it a bit indoors, the blades had some minor contact and a servo broke during the first flight.... really??? its like the gears are made from butter
luckily I could turn the deffective gear a few degree and it kinda works again, even though it clicks a bit but seems to work. I did the servo saver mod on that servo but am not happy with it, every slight ground contact and you have to move it back into position, a bit annoying and I won't be doing this mod an the other 2 servos, I guess I have to stock some gear sets. Walkera needs to release metal gears!
put in the C05 BL, could fly 3 batteries but then it started to behave weird, motor had trouble and it was as if all batteries were empty, the LED on the brushed to BL board is flickering... had to convert back to stock motor.
while figuring out what was wrong one of the screws that hold the blades just fell out into the grass and was never seen since ... wow... luckily that did not happen during flight. the screw was definitly fully screwed in, the thread is gone, i never touched it. have to use proper screws with nuts on both blades now. oh, and the front of the skid broke of too and is lost.
am not happy with the devo 8s. it has no potis?! so no inflight gain control. a radio at this price should have some potis IMO. the display is of low quality, the contrast is so bad that even indoors you have to look twice to read some things. the touch screen is not one of these current generation capacitive once... not impressed. a couple of the menu items have text that is too long and hence you can't see the full text in the menu... what a lousy thing. the timer can only be activated using a switch, not by the throttle stick. the font size of the timer is too small, you can't read this during a flight, especially not outdoors. I would definately not use this radio in any other model unless its a walkera product, my turnigy 9x is magnitudes better then this junk radio. I wish I had gone for the devo 7, honestly.
all in all not impressed with the whole set. OK, the heli flies nice and stable out of the box but thats about it. would not buy it again, actually thinking about selling it.
Rough start, there Mulder... Sorry to hear. Wonder why the seller would short you on the RX. That's bad business.
I have to agree with you about some things you say regarding the Devo 8. The touch screen is a pain. It barely works with fingers so I have to always use the Stylus if I don't want to push so hard on the screen with my finger. It's a pain to have to take out the stylus just to start the bloody timer. It's that or tapping on it with my finger repeatedly until it finally responds.
As for the display, it's not bright enough by any means. I can't see a thing in the sun, especially when the numbers turn red as you increase or decrease percentages for some settings. I find myself walking into the house just to reduce travel adjust on the TX because I can't farking see it in broad outdoor daylight.
As for the durability of the heli, well, I am rather inexperienced so I don't have much to compare it with. All I can say it that I'm learning 3D now and there isn't a single day of flying this heli that doesn't end up on the bench with repairs needed. In fact, I had a horrible day today. I broke the Mini CP, the Genius CP and the V120D02s all in one flying session. I left home with 3 tip top helis and came home 2 hours later with 3 broken helis. I was in the air for about one hour and I spent 2 hours repairing when I got home. It's brutal.
I was actually feeling a bit down about all this today... I'm trying to learn 3D and I can do inverted stuff now but it costs me so much in repairs, it's discouraging. I thought about selling all my walkeras today to buy myself a big Align heli and only stick to sports flying. I rarely crash when sports flying nowadays so if I decide to leave 3D alone, I should get something that can really go FAST for sports flying.... Just a thought I had...
I'm starting to like the mini cp with stock motor seems like it didn't have a lot power, but once I switched to GCP motor & main gear everything was fine it flies great now. The stock motor stucks all the juice out of the battery quick. Now can get more 4+ minutes sport flying. Helircstore gave me a Double brushless kit with my first of order so I'll probably try BL motor in my GCP maybe the tail also an see want happens. It hard I have too many helis plus I only fly on weekends now. The v200D03 has been taking up all my time.
With these new helis you shouldnt have to manipulate the radio into thinking center isnt center. I still think tail drift it is a bent tail rotor, low gain, uneven when bound/unlevel rx or maybe too short of tail boom stock. I would not be suprised if some walkera stock booms are shorter than others. A shorter boom decreases performance and longer increases tail power
Last edited by indoorheli; Feb 25, 2012 at 11:49 AM.
went out a second time, this time with stock motor. behaved better, there is something wrong with the BL ESC i think. bad news is i broke another servo...
@WALKERA: release a metal gear servo set! have a PWM port to use box std. brushless ESCs! make your receivers compatible to FlySky protocol!
Maybe loosen the main shaft collar a little so it slips when you smack? It helps me as still crash often and since i havent ruined any more gears. I turn the 120 collar a little sideways so i tighten the screw on the part of the shaft without a notch. Also hitting throttle hold the second you feel it going at all and not waiting until a second before crash. I will often hit thold whil 5 feet up and inverted and it will fall down pretty gently
However once you started flying 3D, you will not want to fly sports circuits again. I flew over 500 flights with my 250 and got so bored that I had to end the sessions after a few flights.
Wow, the first negative post about the mini. I never thought that would happen. I love this little mini with genius motor installed. I have crashed so many times and have yet to break something serious. The canopy got some cracks, tip of the boom got cracked and frayed. That's it. I have no dungeon at all and my tail holds perfect. When the tail didn't hold was because it had worked itself out of the fuse.
This heli. is Not indestructible! I was crashing 3-6 times per flight. I am not using the servo saver mod either cause I lost a screw(it didn't come off in flight either). The only adjustment so far is the main shaft collar will come up a little from crashing. The other was The feathering screws were a bit loose from crashing. Not bad. I bought mine with devoted 7 and I like it. My best radio to date is a dx6. So this dx7 is nice.
Since having the mini I have learned more in two days then a whole summer of flying my 450 . I am not scared of crashing with the mini, and that helps more then anything..I say calm down a bit, sounds like you are thrashing the mini like a madman.

You can't keep a good barbarian down, especially not when he's looking for a little payback. Thirty years after the Big Oak played him on the big screen for the very first time, Conan gets a new actor to flex those rippling biceps. Jason Momoa isn't exactly Arnold on the muscle scale, but he's no Peter Parker weakling, either. See how Momoa does as the titular barbarian when "Conan The Barbarian" slashes its way onto DVD and Blu-ray November 22nd, 2011 from Lionsgate.
Based on the character of Conan as originally created by Robert E. Howard, a boy born on the battlefield grows into a hulking warrior hell-bent on avenging his father's death. But Conan's personal vendetta soon escalates into an epic battle of impossible odds, facing the fiercest of rivals and the most horrific of monsters.
Movie Review:
The tagline for "Conan The Barbarian" reads: "Born on the battlefield."
Man, they weren't kidding. When we first meet him, Conan is peacefully asleep in his momma's belly when the sharp end of a bad guy's sword nearly ends him before he even began. He survives, though, and grows up to be played by Leo Howard (who played young Snake Eyes in "G.I. Joe"), son to the chief of their village, Corin (Ron Perlman). Life is idyllic for young Conan, at least until the evil Khalar Zym (played by "Avatar's" evil Stephan Lang) shows up looking for pieces of an ancient mask that, once united, would grant him super duper powers or some other such evil nonsense. Corin just happens to have the last piece of that mask. In short order, young Conan is fatherless, and pledges revenge on Zym.
Eventually young Conan grows up into Jason Momoa, now the killer of men, destroyer of oppressors, and savior of well-endowed and clothing-challenged women everywhere. But Conan still plots revenge against Zym, and gets his chance when the would-be warlord and his black magic practicing daughter Marique (Rose McGowan) resurface at a monastery in search of the comely Tamara (Rachel Nichols, young Conan actor Leo Howard's co-star from "G.I. Joe"). Can Conan stop Zym from gaining dominance over the planet? Will Tamara change our hero's wandering, brutish ways? And just how much creepier can Marique and Zym's relationship get? Pretty damn creepy, as it turns out. But hey, this is the time of the barbarians and such, so allowances must be made, am I right?
Directed by Marcus Nispel, the go-to guy for rebooting movie franchise nowadays (he's rebooted the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Friday the 13th" franchises), "Conan The Barbarian" is a completely new take on the character from the Arnold Schwarzenegger variation, though curiously Nispel and the writers do drop an homage or two to the John Milius movie throughout their film. In terms of violence, "Conan" definitely has that covered, though despite the plentiful blood splatters (people in this movie seem to gush blood even if you just tap them on the head with a pinkie), 2011 "Conan" feels somewhat tame compared to the 1982 version. Despite all the dirt and grime, it's surprisingly hard to take this Conan all that seriously.
Jason Momoa, most known to fans from "Stargate: Atlantis" (if, that is, you're into syndicated sci-fi television), plays the titular barbarian with plenty of muscle and charisma. He's actually very good in the role, and easily holds the screen throughout. Lang is just playing a variation of his "Avatar" character, which is fine, but it's getting a bit tiresome. And the ladies, Nichols and McGowan, are adequate, though fans of McGowan will probably get the most kick out of her turn as the evil Marique, who slithers across the film brandishing Freddy Krueger-like metal claws. A sequel to "Conan The Barbarian" seems unlikely, as the film has barely cleared half of its production budget in terms of box office at the time of this review. This may very well be the first and last time you see Momoa as Conan, so I suggest making the most out of it.
DVD/Blu-ray Review:
The DVD/Bu-ray combo back comes with two discs, with Disc 1 containing the movie in Blu-ray and standard DVD format, along with special features, while Disc 2 contains the film in standard DVD format. And of course, if you have a 3D-capable player and TV, you can watch it in 3D in the comforts of your home, too. Just make sure you bring enough glasses for everyone, lest a fight break out.
Special features include two optional full-length audio commentaries, one with director Marcus Nispel, and the other with stars Jason Momoa and Rose McGowan. This is always the ideal way to set up a film's audio tracks if you ask me. Directors always tend to go into too much of the nitty gritty of filmmaking, while the cast always seems to know they're there to have fun with the movie, not go into some boring background details about how certain scenes were set up or shot. Basically, if you want to know how they made the film, watch the film with Nispel's commentary. But if you just want to hear two actors goofing off while watching a movie they spent months making then promoting, watch the one with Momoa and McGowan, who is, not surprisingly, quite the chatty Kathy and completely dominates the track.
There are four separate featurettes for you to dive into, including: "The Conan Legacy" (18 minutes), "Robert E. Howard: The Man Who Would be Conan" (11 minutes), "Battle Royale: Engineering the Action" (10 minutes), and "Staging the Fights" (6 minutes). The first two offers up lots of behind-the-scenes stuff, cast/crew interviews, and background history on author Robert E. Howard and his most famous creation. The latter two featurettes, which focuses more on the film's abundant fighting, are also very cool, especially all the stunt stuff that goes into making all those action sequences coherent before the cameras even start rolling.
Buy "Conan The Barbarian" on DVD or Blu-ray from Lionsgate.

Representation of Great Bozeman Green Homes Projects From The Past Few Years:
Bozeman's Green Balance Homes - Bozeman Green Homes: Green Buildings For Tomorrow's Active Montanan
These single family green residences were sold after they were built and are located in Bozeman's highly desired Valley West Subdivision north of Huffine Lane and east of Cottonwood Road. Green Balance's project was built according to the Energy Star and NAHB Green Building Guidelines. Energy Star and NAHB certifications were issued after homes were constructed.
Green Balance LLC homes were built by Rotherham Construction, a regionally recognized construction firm serving the Bozeman area for over 15 years.
Rotherham Const. is the only Bozeman green real estate construction company presently offering residential Bozeman green homes at this level of energy efficiency. Homes will be built in Valley West Phase 3, on lots 11, 12, 28, 31, 32, 33, 35, which are approximately 5000 sf.
Green Balance Program Highlights:
Sunburst I - 1221 square feet
Sunburst II - 1480 square feet
Sedona - 1498 square feet
Sweet Grass - 1499 square feet
Since insulation and windows are the core elements of home energy efficiency, the insulation (R-values) and Windows (U-Values) of these Bozeman Green Homes met or exceeded a set standard of insulation, which at the time was R-25 for walls and R-50 for attics.
Present owners enjoy reduced maintenance costs because Energy Star qualified homes on average save 20 to 30% on annual utility bills over standard, conventionally built non-green homes. Energy Star rated appliances (Included: Range, Microwave, Refrigerator, Dishwasher) contribute to this cost savings and provide you, the homeowner, with a quality-built, reliable green house that will last for many years.
Components of the green construction process utilize sustainable practices, including on- and off-site waste reduction, recycling of building materials, advanced construction framing techniques, and northwest regional green building products and other, necessary, construction materials.
The Bozeman homes in this Bozeman green home development are environmentally sensitive and follow specific green home designs, green home construction guidelines, overall finishing specifications, and the Valley West Subdivision requirements. Following these guidelines will result in greater energy efficiency and a lower environmental impact.
In addition to ensuring these Valley West homes have efficient insulation and windows, additional energy efficiency will be recumbent upon aspects such as sealing ducts, sealing the building envelope, creating an air and vapor barrier, and establishing Water efficiency both inside and outside the home; maximizing both efficient indoor water delivery systems and exterior water efficiency landscaping methods ensures minimial waste of water.
This green Bozeman real estate was finished using environmentally conscious products, reducing indoor environmental contaminants while providing a healthier, higher quality indoor living environment.
Along with being able to control your home's interior humidity and temperature, present owners rest assured that their indoor environment is of a higher quality than most Bozeman residential properties.
To qualify as an Energy Star home, each dwelling had third-party verification prior to receipt of the Energy Star Certification. Third-party verification ensures the consistency of the green construction process and gives you, the homeowner, confidence and necessary information about the testing procedures, energy efficiency aspects, and specific green building features of your southwest Montana green home.

Good Points
Cheap, cheerful and entertaining holidays
Bad Points
Some poor maintenance and a couple of grumpy staff members
General Comments
Presthaven Sands
We've been a bit skint this year what with one thing and another so a foreign holiday was out of the question, but I really like my holidays so I refused to go without one. I went on a mission to find a cheap holiday in this country and trawled through the internet and leafed through tons of brochures to find the ideal cheap family break. I didn't fancy staying in a B & B or a hotel but a caravanning holiday quite appealed to me. I've stayed in a few caravans in the past and enjoyed the whole experience; they are such cosy little things. My quest for the ideal break took me to the Haven holiday's website (http://online.haven-holidays.co.uk) where they have a fantastic selection of family holidays at very reasonable prices.
After joining up to the Haven website I put in a few searches for holidays at various places. Once the search results were in I was quite surprised by the prices, much cheaper than their competitors Butlins and Pontins. I'd stayed at a Haven camp with my family when I was a child and thoroughly enjoyed myself so I decided to stick with this company and choose one of their parks. In the end we plumped to go to the Presthaven Sands resort which is in North Wales close by Rhyl and Llandudno in a little town called Prestatyn, it's also the park where I went as a child.
So how much was the holiday and what did it include?
At most of the Haven Holiday parks you can chose either a chalet or a caravan to stay in. There is a wide choice of different caravans available ranging from simple small and cheap ones to well equipped large and expensive ones. Because our family just consists of me, my Husband and our 2 year old Son we just needed a simple small caravan. We chose a 2 bed roomed 3 star caravan and decided to stay for a whole week. The dates we booked were 10th September to the 17th September (Friday to Friday as it's cheaper that way) We also paid an extra £10 for the week to have a cot for our Son to sleep in as he hadn't slept in a proper bed before and we were worried about him falling out. The total cost of the holiday was £261 which included the cot charge and entertainment passes.
Was checking in easy?
Our booking information informed us to check-in no earlier than 4.00pm which was fine by us as we didn't want to set off too early and we had quite a distance to travel anyway. We arrived at the park at approximately 4.30pm and followed the signs which directed us to where the check-in desk was situated. As it turned out the check-in desk was actually situated inside one of the bars where there was a massive queue of holiday makers all waiting to be allocated their caravans. I was expecting to be stood there hours but the efficiency of the staff made sure we were seen to within 10 minutes. The friendly male staff member who dealt with us was very efficient and took a few details before handing us our keys and showing us how to find our caravan by marking it out on the park map.
After checking in we were directed towards the linen area. You have to pay a £10 deposit for a family pack of linen which includes bed sheets. duvet covers, towels and pillow cases. Exchanging a crisp £10 note for a bag of linen we then made our way to our home for the week hoping the rest of our holiday experience would be just as good. So far everything had run smoothly and efficiently and the staff all seemed jolly and friendly.
What's the location of the park like?
The location is perfect. This caravan park sits right next to the sand dunes which lead onto Prestatyns beach. Literally a 5 minute walk from most of the caravans and you are right there next to the sea. Around the outside of the park are a couple of other small caravan sites, a couple of pubs, a cafe and a shop. Preshaven is by no means situated in a busy and lively place, but who needs to be next to a massive town when you've got everything you could want within the park.
Was our caravan 'home' for the week up to scratch?
Our caravan was situated at the far end of the park away from all the noise of the entertainment facilities. Inside the caravan it was nothing special but it was everything we needed. At one end was a small cosy living room with a colour TV and a dining table, then there was a small and compact but well equipped kitchen, next-door to the kitchen was a small bathroom (with a small bath doubling as a shower). The bedrooms were again small but as there were only 3 of us it didn't matter. One of the bedrooms had a bunk bed, a small single bed and a small wardrobe the other had a double bed and a largish wardrobe.
The cot which we requested was firmly fixed onto the small bed but there was no way Jake was going to fit into that. The cot was tiny and would have only been suitable for a tiny baby, not a big baby like our little terror. So we had to come up with a solution as to where Jake was going to sleep. A-ha, we stuck him in the double bed in the bedroom and I and Hubby decided to sleep on the convertible sofa bed in the living room which suited us down to the ground because it meant we could watch telly in bed at nights. So yes we were very pleased with our accommodation and weren't too bothered by the cot situation, although it would have been nice to know it wasn't a full size cot.
And what about the park entertainment?
A wide variety of entertainment is provided at this park, whoever you are and whatever your age is there should be at least something which appeals to you. In fact there's so much entertainment provided that we didn't even get to see or do half of it.
Our favourite place to dump our bums was the huge bar where we initially checked in. During the day this bar would have Rory the tiger and his pals singing on stage and doing dance routines, children's reps playing games with all the kiddies, talent contests, quizzes etc.......you name it, they had/did it. By night this bar was jam packed with every age group imaginable for more of the same kind of entertainment. The dance floor was a fantastic place for all the little kiddies as they used to dance around and play little games together. Jakey loved himself here, made lots of friends and gained a bit of independence. There are another couple of bars situated in various parts of the camp but unfortunately we didn't have the time to do the rounds. The park is just too vast to fit everything in when it's only a week's holiday.
Are there any other entertainment facilities apart from the bars?
Oh yes!!! There is a huge heated indoor swimming pool with water chutes which is supervised by qualified lifeguards. The pool is open from approximately 10 in the morning until 6 at night and is completely free so long as you have an entertainment pass (entertainment pass included in price of holiday) One thing that struck me as very strange though was the fact you're *Not* allowed to take pictures in the swimming pool area. Why??? I haven't a blooming clue but I ignored them and took the pictures anyway because it was the first time Jake had been in a pool. (I was a spectator you see, I don't like swimming) So I took my pictures and just put up with the telling off I got from one of the lifeguards. Why aren't we allowed to take piccies? Come on Haven, everyone takes piccies of their kiddies in the pool when they're on holiday. Dur!!!! As for the outside pool, well that was closed for the season during our stay but it looked a fair size and had a couple of slides.
Then there's the amusement arcades. One of the arcades is more for the adults and has 30p play machines and a wide variety of others. The other arcade is more for the kiddies and has plenty of 5p play machines and 2p falls to keep them entertained. We stuck to the kiddie arcade because the machines seemed to be set to a fairer level and were easier to win on.
A fairground. Oh yes there *is* an actual mini fairground here. You've got the dodgems, a huge inflatable slide, a spinny thing that goes round LOL, a little train, tea cups and trampolines. Don't get too excited though because these are NOT free, the cost is about £1 - £1.50 per ride which I suppose is very expensive if you've got a couple of kids to pay for.
And what about bikes to hire?
Yes there are bikes to hire. There are also the 4 - 6 seater go-cart type things which you can hire out per the hour. I didn't hire a bike so unfortunately I'm not able to tell you the price but I hired a go-cart which was £5 for the hour. £5 may sound a little steep but it is for more than one person so if you split the cost it works out remarkably cheap. Our go-cart was damn hard to pedal though, whether it's because I'm getting older or because it was slightly rusty I don't know, but we took it back after 40 minutes as we were too knackered to carry on pedalling.
Is Presthaven easy to navigate?
For such a huge site it is very easy to navigate. Wherever you want to go there are signposts directing you straight there. The park must easily be a mile from one end to the other so a car is really the best way to get around, and you can't get lost if you follow the footpaths or roads.
Is the park maintained well?
Some parts are maintained very well such as the caravans, equipment within the caravans, the grass was well cut etc.......but some things were pretty abysmal. For example the road leading through the campsite had huge craters in it which desperately needed filling with concrete. Someone is going to break their leg falling down one of them holes or a car will end up getting damaged, Haven will end up with a lawsuit if they're not careful.
Another thing that bugged the hell out of me was the state of the bar area sometimes. During the afternoon the bar would close for a couple of hours and in this time the bar would NOT be cleaned. Therefore going to the bar at night I would notice drinks spilt and rubbish all over the dance floor where the kiddies were about to play. The tables would be littered with empty glasses from earlier in the day and ashtrays would still be full. Surely when the bar is closed it's the perfect time for cleaning it up, isn't it??? Obviously not!!! All the cleaning was left until last thing at night so the bar area would be disgusting by 8pm every night.
And the other amenities???
There was a couple of decent shops onsite that sold everything from bacon and eggs, to booze, to gifts. The shops were reasonably priced and were always fully stocked. If you wanted to eat out there's either the pub near the entrance (which we didn't go in) a diner or a couple of takeaway places.
The diner was extortionately priced and was always just about empty. We had our Sunday lunch in here and it cosy over £15 for two Sunday lunches and two drinks. It tasted nice but certainly was not worth that much. One of the takeaway places was Harry Ramsdens. I love Harry Ramsden food but this place gives it a bad name. The staff obviously DID NOT WANT to be working in a chippy, were impolite, miserable arses, and totally unhelpful. On the one occasion we ventured into here they'd apparently run out of nearly everything we wanted and instead of telling us what they HAD got they just let us carry on asking for things and answered HAVEN'T GOT to everything. Well after these two experiences we ate in our caravan most of the time which we really enjoyed as we felt we were having a *real* caravan holiday rather than just sleeping at the caravan.
Is this a suitable holiday for disabled people?
Well I would say yes to this one as I saw many caravans which had ramps to enable wheelchairs or pushchairs easy access. All the entertainment facilities are on one level, no nasty flights of stairs anywhere. One thing I would point out is as I've mentioned before the park is vast so wheelchair users may find it tiring travelling from place to place, especially if their caravan is at the far end.
What about a bus service?
Yes there are bus stops throughout the park which you can catch connecting buses to Rhyl and Llandudno from (probably more places too) We took the car so had no need for the bus but I saw them quite frequently at the bus stop opposite our caravan.
Were the Haven staff good at their jobs?
Apart from the ones who worked in the Harry Ramsden chippy I can't fault any of them. The Haven entertainers were fantastic; I have no idea where they get their energy from as it seemed they were working 24/7. All day every day the same ones would be working, sometimes doing more than one job. You'd find children's entertainers playing with the kiddies all day then you'd see the same ones at night dressed up doing songs and dance routines from musicals. Very helpful, very friendly, very good at their jobs and very talented. Oh how I wish I could be young free and single again and have a go at their job. No complaints on the staff front (apart from the chippy misery guts)
Anything else to know?
A lot of the caravans on this site are privately owned and privately rented, Haven doesn't own all the caravans. They have caravans to sell and spare sites ready right at this moment. If you would like to own a caravan here take a browse around the haven website (http://online.haven-holidays.co.uk) where I'm sure you'll be able to find out more information. If you don't like caravans you can even stay in one of the chalets onsite which doesn't even cost much more than a caravan. OR take your own caravan or tent and pay per night for a little patch of land.
My overall conclusion
I tell you what, I had the time of my life. I'd forgotten how much fun holidays in this country could be but it was fantastic. I can't pinpoint what it was about this holiday that made it so special but me and hubby still rave about it now. Yes there were a few things which weren't up to standard such as the road maintenance, the teeny weenie cot, the cleanliness of the bar area, but who cares??? I loved myself, Jake loved himself and Kris did too. That's all that matters!!! The nights we spent in the caravan were so cosy, probably something to do with the rain pouring down and the wind howling mind, but to me cosiness is what caravan holidays are all about. We will definitely be booking another holiday through Haven at some point in the near future, maybe we'll go back here or maybe we'll try another of the Haven parks, we're undecided as yet. I wholeheartedly recommend Presthaven Sands to everyone who fancies a good cheap holiday, if it wasn't for the couple of disappointing points I'd raised I would have given it 10 stars but unfortunately I feel I have to dock them a star so it gets 9 stars from me.

thank you for your review it has made pleasant reading.I must admit as myself and the family have never been to haven i decided to have a look at what has been said and rated regarding the site and i was a little worried as most seem to be very unpleasant and rude regarding the site. As a mother i was searching for the perfect uk holiday for my children as finance has been short lately as i searched the net i came upon haven and found it to have very reasonable prices for party i had eg 4 children under 6 and a 15 year old and myself and spouse and a family friend and the deal was priced at just over 300 pound for 4 days.. my doubts had remained with me for a few days as to if we should go or not. Upon reading your comment you have been able to put my mind at rest a little and i feel alot more assured that me and my family can expect a nice family holiday with haven prestatyn sands as i think it would have the perfect entertainment for my chuldren. I am very pleased that you and your family experienced a fantastic holiday. Thank you for your reassurance i hope my family to will have a fantastic time as we are due to go in april 2011 and if all is well we shall return in august again.. kind regards

Dec. 6 (UPI) -- The American teacher reported shot and killed in Benghazi, Libya yesterday has been identified by the United States Department of State as Ronald Thomas Smith II.
State Department Deputy Spokeswoman Marie Harf announced yesterday "we can confirm that a U.S. citizen named Ronald Thomas Smith II was shot and killed in Benghazi. He was a teacher at the International School there. We offer our deepest condolences to the victim's family, friends and loved ones. We are in contact with the family and are providing all appropriate consular assistance. Out of the respect for the privacy of those affected, I don't have a lot of further details at this time. For questions on the investigation, of course, we'd refer everyone to the Libyan authorities."
"Ronnie" Smith, 33, moved to Libya with his wife, Anita and young son to teach high school chemistry, and had worked at the International School Benghazi for the past 18 months. Principal Peter Hodge told NBC News that Smith was "very much loved."
The Smiths' church in Texas, where Smith had previously worked, released a statement which read, in part, "Ronnie's greatest desire was for peace and prosperity in Libya and for the people of Libya to have the joy of knowing God through Christ." He was planning to join his wife and son in Austin before the Christmas holiday but "Ronnie, out of a sense of dedication, had stayed in Libya to be with his students through their midterm exams." His wife and son returned to Texas several weeks ago.
Smith was killed in the same Libyan city as the deadly attack against the U.S. Consulate 15 months ago during which Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed.

'Odyssey'. From a series 'Ugh, Vova, Vova…' by Yuriy Zakordonets.
We believe that exploring the whole Collection will expand understanding of the context and the idea behind the artworks.
New series of works on socialist realism 'Ugh, Vova, Vova…' was developed after a group show displayed in several cities in Ukraine at the beginning of 2017. The exhibition – 'Mausoleum Renaissance' – was focused on retrospective view at Soviet time 25 years after Soviet system fell apart. It requested from artists a contemporary perspective on what is known as 'life behind the iron curtain'.
Despite mixed feelings associated with the socialist era, it is important to provide a space for all views and experiences. Every painting is certainly more than just a recollection of time known for hypocritical and cynical Soviet art serving totalitarian regime, – it is also a personal story, it is a virtual touch to that mystic life in USSR.
Artworks are full of irony (or even a sarcasm) with regards to main ideological cliche and stereotypes of Soviet propaganda and pomposity of officious state entourage. However, even this is not it: all paintings are full of symbols and riddles, which intrigue and complement the overall experience from the past era in intellectual as well as emotional way.
In a new series, the artist used original paintings from socialist time promoted in youth (pioneer) camps, cultural centers, 'red corners' and party offices at factories and manufactories.

Do you know what district you work in? New color-coded district signage is now being installed as part of the campus's year-long wayfinding project. The wayfinding framework divides the campus into seven color-coded districts to make it easier to give directions in a broader context of the campus layout. The names were developed based on a combination of geography, function, and branding. For example, "the Village" is a reflection of the residence halls and student life functions of that district and "Torch" designates the academic core of campus.

Surely mention must be made of Rob Brydon's brilliant, whole-show impersonation of Ken Bruce this morning on Radio 2?
I only realised something wasn't quite right when, during the Popmaster quiz, I began thinking that Uncle Ken might have had a wee tincture or two before the show, such was his cheeky treatment of contestants. It was my wife who eventually rumbled it was Brydon.
The whole thing was hilarious, and a real mimicry tour de force ...

In a recent post on the PlayStation blog, Sony provided information regarding their upcoming lineup of titles and how they will be represented at this month's Comic-Con in San Diego. There will be a plethora of games at the show that will be available for hands-on demonstrations, in addition to a few panels showcasing some of Sony's biggest upcoming games.
Sony will start off with its first panel, Beyond: Two Souls, on Thursday, July 12th, 2012 from 12pm to 1pm. David Cage (writer and director of Beyond: Two Souls and 2010's Heavy Rain) and academy award-nominated actress Ellen Page will be on hand. The panel will be moderated by IGN's Greg Miller. The panel will focus primarily on, "the concept of Virtual Performance Capture to video games, where actors play the entire role in development of the game (from motion capture to dialogue). The session will focus on techniques used to create an emotional and compelling experience."
The next panel will feature Naughty Dog's upcoming PS3-exclusive, The Last of Us. Creative director Neil Druckmann and game director Bruce Straley will be on hand, as well as voice-actors Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson. No specifics were given about the actual content of the discussion, though Sony has promised that, "Panelists will provide an exclusive reveal of a new in-game cinematic featuring a special guest." The panel will be moderated by former X-Play host Adam Sessler and is scheduled for Friday July 13th, 2012 from 5pm to 6pm. Fans will also receive a free exclusive poster.
Two other panels are also scheduled for the event, with The Unfinished Swan scheduled for Saturday July 14th, 2012 from 11am to 12pm, and PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, scheduled for Sunday July 15th, 2012 from 11am to 12pm. The Unfinished Swan's panel will focus primarily on the art direction and artistic inspirations for the game, while the Battle Royale panel will showcase the gameplay and mechanics; developers also plan on revealing two new characters. All panels will have Q&A sessions for fans.
A full list of demonstrations that will be present in the booth is available on the PlayStation Blog. The San Diego Comic-Con is scheduled to run from July 12th to the 15th, with a special preview evening on the 11th.

Blog Excerpts
Dog Blends, from Wienerhuahuas to Peekapoos
February 4, 2014
One of the commercials run during the Super Bowl this year was one from Audi featuring an imagined "Doberhuahua," a cross between a Doberman and a Chihuahua. But as VT contributor Mark Peters explained on OUPblog, real-life canine hybrids often have blended names that are just as fanciful, whether it's "wienerhuahua" or "peekapoo."

About Me
Hey, i am offering a place to stay in lower Austria, near Vienna and Bratislava. Its a great location if you want to visit /travel between Vienna - Bratislava and enjoy Austrian countryside. I am near to Austrian airport too.
Please notice, that there is no public transport to cities during night between 23:00 - 06:00, sorry party fans :( So if you wanna party, you need to take the first train in morning to my place.
I am living in a town house 35km from Vienna with my dog Thor, 2 cats and 2 snakes.
I do work a lot near my home and i live here alone with pets and garden.. so i am a busy person and i cant show you around.
IMPORTANT: Please only choose my home, if you are ok that i cant show you around, only give you some advices or have some small talk.
I am in general a bit quiet at beginning, but i respect every life style and every kind of person, i am tolerant and no trouble maker, love talking about society, free time activities, pets and wildlife, ancient history and a lot more. I dislike people, who are into racism or intolerance, who are superficial and rude to other beings.
I wont answer requests from males, who have no references yet. Sorry! :/ I also prefer guests, who stay only 1-2 nights as its easier to plan for me. Thanks for your understanding!
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I always loved travelling but I know how expensive it can be and how hard to find some nice places, besides any tourist traps. I am a busy person, i can not hang around with my guests all time (sorry! :( ). I prefer guests, who just want a place to sleep or some friendly advices where to go, so i will be glad to help.
At moment i live alone in a town house, too big for one person, so I am happy if I can share the space and help some traveller.

music: metal (melodic death, power, viking/pagan, black, metalcore) rock (oldschool, hard rock, folk rock) some alternative, gothic and punk but i love musicals and classic music too
books: fantasy, history, horror.. for example i love Anne Rice books.
Teach, Learn, Share
I studied ancient history, i can tell you a lot about the past in Austria and in general. My town is perfect for people who love ancient history, here is a lot to see.
I am also quite good at cooking, my father is cook and i am working in catering/gastronomy, it would be fun to cook together. I can teach you an Austrian dish or would be glad to learn a dish from your country. I know also many great restaurants in Vienna and Bratislava.
I am pet holder and grew up with animals of an Austrian Zoo, as lion and tiger babies at home, monkeys, reptiles, and so on. When i travelled around world, my focus was on the wild life and I am working for an animal rescue organisation too, who saves dogs from shelters in Slovakia and Hungary. My life was always shared with different pets. I can tell you a lot about animals, pets and wild animals here, help you to choose the right decision when thinking about adopting a pet and so on.
If you are afraid of dogs, cats or snakes, i can softly help you to know them. :) Dont be afraid of choosing my home because of any pets, especially the snakes.. you will see, your guest room is pet free and its not dangerous at all like always told in paranoid newspapers ;D My dog loves everyone and is really friendly!
I would love to meet someone, who is doing pictures, as i would like some nice ones of my dog in nature *-* I am not really good into doing pictures and have no usual camera. So would be great to meet a photographer who could help me out.
What I Can Share with Hosts
There are some rules for your stay with me.. to make sure, we both have a nice time:
- No smoking in the house.
I have asthma and i live with pets.. we both cant handle smoke. In your room is a balcony and i have a garden, there you will be able to smoke.
- Dont wear shoes inside the house.
In Austria its usual not to wear shoes inside the house to keep it clean.
- Leave the rooms in the same condition you have found it.
Please remember, that i try to offer a clean and comfortable place. Help me to keep it clean in not making additional dirt- so the next guest will be glad.
- If possible, please bring comestics and towels yourself. I just moved and i am not 100% well prepared for every kind of guest. Sure, in case of emergency i try to help you out.

- Respect my privacy as i respect yours.
I wont enter during your stay your sleeping room at any time. I ask you not to enter private rooms too. Of course feel free to hang around in living room or kitchen :D
- Respect the pets i am living with.
Please just shut the door of your room if you dont want them to visit you. My pets are living there, its their home.. dont shut them out in garden or order them down from couch. Dont feed them without asking me. Dont take them at balcony or for a walk. Its the most important point for me, people who would try to hurt them, will be asked to leave.

In general please plan to care yourself for your food during your stay, there is a supermarket nearby- as i can not guaranty, that i will cook for sure every day or have something at home to offer you. Please dont take food out of fridge without asking, would be bad when i plan to cook with it.

Brand New from maker Jonathan Mcnees custom Skybolt Flipper featuring a two-tone sculpted Titanium frame lock handle and M3 Mokume accents. The Skybolt is a large folder that is well-balanced and lightweight for its size. It flips like a dream and has strong, early lockup.
The Blade: Four inches of hollow ground CPM-154 stainless super edge retaining steel here formed to a modified spear point style. As with Jon's knives, it is quite sharp right out of the pouch. A dark matte grey bead-blasted/tumbled finish with slight upper swedge grind. There is a large scoop cutout on the spine that will fit your entire thumb. Perfect for choking up during detailed cutting tasks. There is also an inverted, short thumb ramp with light jimping. This beast deploys via a notched, integral flipper tab exposed from the back of the handle. It rides on an internal bearing system with just exceptional detent for silky smooth action.
The Handle: Two ergonomic slabs of titanium with custom sculpted texturing on the front slab and lockbar. The bottom textured portion of the front slab is lightly dark blue anodized. Four hole cutouts help lighten the load. The titanium is accented with a very cool M3 Mokume backspacer and pivot collar. M3 (Macro-Molecular Materials) is a blend of the purest copper and brightest white aluminum for a version reminiscent of ancient Japanese metal art. The copper will patina over time for a unique look. At the center of the collar is a textured titanium pivot head.
The Skybolt Flipper includes a tip-up carry titanium pocket clip, signed specs card and business card from the maker with Mcnees Velcro pouch. Lots of Custom features in this one for a true one-of-a-kind piece.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
The E65 is a feature packed device, offering functions typical of current smart phones without compromising design. If you are looking for a smart phone that is compact, sleek and stylish, the E65 definitely fits the bill.
Nokia's new E-Series range has been designed with business in mind, yet style hasn't been compromised. The slider E65 is a 3G capable smart phone handset that encompasses a sleek and stylish look, together with a range of business features.
Call quality was a mixed bag as we felt volume could have been louder. We also noted that calls weren't as crisp or clear as some other recent mobile phones we've reviewed. The hands-free speakerphone worked quite well, although some unwelcome distortion was noticeable in windy conditions. The E65 supports conference calling and has 3G capabilities. Despite being a business orientated handset, it has a 2 megapixel camera on the rear for photos. Unfortunately though, there is no front mounted VGA camera for video calls. The still camera is fine for a few happy snaps, but don't expect to take any real photography as it suffers from most of the problems synonymous with mobile phone cameras, including image noise, lack of sharpness and poor colour reproduction.
The E65 includes support for SIP (session initiation protocol), which is commonly used for voice over IP (VoIP). This allows the Nokia E65 to connect to SIP networks, such as engin and MyNetPhone, for example. This is a definite advantage for corporate users.We particularly liked the fact that Internet calls appear in the call log menu (marked with a distinctive Internet icon) along with regular mobile calls. The E65 can also hook up to compatible Wi-Fi based Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems and act as a normal office extension. It supports the same features as your regular office phone when doing so, such as call transfer and four digit dialling.
The E65 has push email capabilities with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols and even includes some third party applications such as Blackberry Connect. This means the E65 can connect to an existing Blackberry enterprise setup. We tested the unit's email application with a standard POP3 Yahoo! account and it worked fairly well. When located in range of a wireless network, the E65 can use native Wi-Fi to retrieve your email, but when you're on the road it uses GPRS. It allows you to retrieve new emails or your entire inbox and you can also view, save and even edit your attachments using the phone's 50MB of internal memory, or the microSD card slot. The E65 supports a range of attachment file formats including JPEG, 3GP, MP3, PPT, DOC, XLS, and PDF files. Nokia also includes a 256MB microSD card in the sales package.
Connectivity is a strong point of the E65. It includes Bluetooth 1.2, infrared, USB, WAP 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and GPRS. Nokia includes a USB cable in the sales package for connection to a PC, and this can synchronise emails with Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes. We had no problems connecting to a wireless network and were up and running in a matter of minutes. The E65 can search for wireless access points every one, two, five or 10 minutes and you simply select the network with which you wish to make a connection. Nokia also includes an excellent Web browser that has the ability to scroll through each page with a feature called 'page overview'. This view shows a full Web page shrunk to fit the screen and a selection box is used to navigate to the part of the page you want to view in more detail.
The E65 runs on the Series 60 3rd Edition OS and it is equipped with a full array of smart phone applications, including QuickOffice Word, PowerPoint and Excel document viewers, a host of PIM features (calendar, contacts, to-do list, task list, alarm clock, notes, converter, calculator) and both voice recording and dialling. The handset is also fully compatible with Zip Manager and Adobe Reader and there is support for standard SMS and MMS messaging with T9 predictive text input. Overall, we were pleased with the speed of the E65's interface, although it is a little slow to start up and switching between applications does result in a slight delay.
A new feature exclusive to the E65 is 'Team Suite'. This application is an extension of the phone book and allows users to group a specific list of contacts, with a list of commands alongside them. This allows users to create group messages, make conference-calls with the press of a button, and also use Push to Talk.
The E65 is finished in a chocolate brown and silver design, with chrome edging. It looks more like a fashion phone than a business phone, and we really liked the touch of class Nokia has added. In particular, the slider felt well-built, with a swift and smooth opening action. The phone measures 105mm x 49mm x 15.5mm and weighs 115g, so it's relatively light and compact, considering the features included.
Nokia has added some new one-touch controls to the E65. In addition to the standard controls, which consist of two selection buttons, a five-way navigational pad, answer and end calls keys , as well as dedicated menu and clear buttons, the E65 also includes business keys for conference calling, phonebook and mute. There is also a customisable "own key" that users can program to open any application on the phone they like. The keypad blends well into the rest of the design and we liked the raised centre of each key. The keypad was also quite responsive and we had no problems punching out long SMS messages and emails, achieving excellent speeds in the process. The E65 also has edit, voice record and volume keys located on the right side. Its QVGA display has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and support for up to 16 million colours, and is both bright and clear.
Battery life is average according to Nokia figures, rated at up to 2.5 hours of talk time on a 3G network and up to six hours on a standard GSM network. Standby time varies, from up to 14 days (3G) to 11 days (GSM).

we went to jitlada for the 2nd time this past saturday night. there were 6 of us - my finace and i, my mom and stepdad, and my aunt and uncle. we called about 45 minutes ahead of time and they told my fiance there were other reservations but we would be put on a list and a table would probably be ready when we got there. but when we arrived we were told that's when they would put our names on the list. !?! we ended up waiting over 40 minutes - in the rain - even though there were tables available due to some confusion when one of the younger girls sat couples who walked in after us at the 2 tables next to the 4 top that was leaving, so they couldn't put the tables together. they were nice enough to seat some of us before the other table was cleared since it was obvious that my uncle wasn't doing so well with the cold.
after we were seated there was a long wait for the order, another for the drinks, but our meal was well worth it. i'm used to family run places having slower service, and it was packed by then, i was just concerned since my uncle needed to take meds and had nothing to drink. my uncle and aunt don't eat spicy and aren't as adventurous as the rest of us, but we ordered a cashew chicken dish mild, and a sweet and sour for them, which were both perfectly cooked and really flavorful, not cloying or one dimensional like other versions.
the rest of us ordered to share from the southern menu, all requested "spicy":
coco mango salad - delicious shaved tart green mango, shrimp, cashews, toasted coconut, loads of garlic in a tangy lime and tamarind dressing with the perfect amount of heat. i had talked about this salad before with my mom since i want to serve a version of it at my wedding so we had the whole table analyzing it.
fried morning glory salad, also with shrimp and a similar dressing but with morning glory battered and deep fried, perfectly crunchy and light, better than tempura, a riot of textures.
beef curry with cassia buds - bitter, delicious and complex with layers of flavor and searing heat tempered by the richness of coconut.
lamb with egg noodles in peanut lime sauce - tender chunks of lamb, morning glory here as well, peanuts and cilantro with thin noodles in a rich, delicious sauce, like everything i always wanted pad thai to be
softshell crab in red curry sauce - much better than the last visit due to the increased heat level, and laid atop the sauce rather than coated in it so the batter stayed beautifully crisp
pork belly with sator beans - this was the dish that set us all on fire! we were sweating beforehand but this pushed us over the edge. it was blazing hot and had branches of cassia buds and my fiance made the mistake of popping the whole stem in his mouth and scraping the buds off with his teeth. mom had to get up and walk around to cool off!
as we were eating the proprietress came over and thanked us for waiting even though it took so long for a table. she said she loves her customers and she was so happy to see a family with many generations there. she asked if we had tried the new menu and we pointed to the lamb and the pork belly dishes on the table and she was so excited she clapped her hands and practically jumped up and down. she said after they created the pork belly dish she ate it for 5 days straight.
she was so sweet and genuine, and we were all quite satisfied with our delicious and unusual meal. we were in an endorphin daze. i can't wait to go back and try fried frog's legs, fish balls with egg yolk curry, and the lamb with pumpkin!

Ok, so I got a little side tracked. I had just asked you all on friday about border widths on a quilt that had been waiting for 2 years to be finished. So while I waited for inspiration and suggestions from ya'll I started a lap size charity quilt, got the blocks all done and then last night as I went to bed I thought about making a quilt for a friend, well she is the wife of our head pastor at the church my DH is working at, anyway she was very ill and spent a week in the hospital and had surgery and is now home recovering. I got a call about 9 last night about providing a meal for them for next saturday and I started thinking about maybe bringing her a quilt. So, I did not sleep well, got up this morning pulled fabrics from my stash, went to church and came home and started this quilt. It is a warm wished and I just got the top together. I am trying to decide which border fabrics I want to use. I am going to use the light print for a wide border and the purple for the binding but am trying to decide if I should add a narrow border and which one to use. I am leaning toward the very light green. I will make it a 1 to 1.5 in finished size and the wider border will be 3.5 in finished.
Choice #1
The whole quilt, sorry bad lighting!
Choice #2

Transfusions of red blood cells (RBCs) are given to children for a wide range of indications, including anemia due to congenital or acquired disease, or blood loss from trauma or surgery. Once the decision to transfuse RBCs has been made, the most appropriate RBC product must be chosen. Donated whole blood used for transfusion is modified in several ways that remove varying proportions of non-red cell components, thereby allowing selection of RBC products based upon clinical needs.
This topic will review the different RBC products and indications for their use in infants and children. Other aspects of RBC transfusion in infants and children are discussed in separate topic reviews:

Just so you know, a woman at age 40 has a 1/16 chance of conceiving a child with down syndrome. I am sure 50 is much, much higher.
