Following the success of last year's Superhero Series, npower is once again supporting the only sports series dedicated to the UK's 13.3 million people with disabilities and long-term injuries. The energy supplier is announcing the launch of an innovative new service, the 'npower support squad', to enable even more families to participate in the inspirational Superhero Tri at Dorney Lake on 18 August, 2018.
A recent study indicated that disabled people are twice as likely to be physically inactive (43%) as non-disabled people (21%) due to a lack of confidence or access to specialist equipment.
Over 1,700 participants enjoyed the 2017 Superhero Tri, cheered on by 7,000 spectators. This year, npower wants to help give families even more confidence to enter the swim section and will provide support rafts and volunteers to encourage families to complete the swim and enjoy the rewarding experience.
Heading up the npower support squad will be Olympian, Professor Greg Whyte OBE, as well as volunteers from the Marlow Open Water Swim club. Superhero Tri participants will be led by the expert advice of Professor Greg, who has recently coached David Walliams to swim the English Channel and River Thames, as well as helping Eddie Izzard, Davina McCall and Zoe Ball to conquer Sport Relief challenges.
In addition to providing assistance in the water, the npower support squad will be fully involved on land, from leading participants in the warm-up to cheering them across the finish line.
Sophia Warner, Paralympian and founder of the Superhero Series, said: "The Superhero Series was set up to give participants of all ages and abilities the freedom to walk, run, push, be pushed, or anything between and complete the Tri around the spectacular Dorney Lake. It's fantastic that npower has taken the time to understand this and has come up with a fun and powerful way to further support families by providing rafts and a support squad. It's perfect!
"Participants will have so much fun taking part in the open water swim. I hope it also gives them a boost of confidence from accomplishing it and that next year they come back and try to swim even further. I would encourage anyone who is interested in taking up this option to contact me on 01306 627301 or firstname.lastname@example.com."
Ed Madden, npower's Head of Marketing added: "npower are proud to extend our partnership with the Superhero Series for a second year and are pleased to be able to offer additional support to enable more families to enjoy this fantastic event.
"We saw during our partnership with Team England at this year's Commonwealth Games how important support can be to athletes. We're keen to bring this power of support to everyone taking part in the Superhero Tri and hope our npower rafts and support squad will give participants a real boost along the route. We're looking forward to giving them a Superhero welcome as they cross the finish line."
Over 2,000 participants have already signed up to tackle the swim, bike and push/run at Dorney Lake on 18 August and it's not too late to enter.
If you would like to join the fun and request access to an npower support raft during the swim, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01306 627301.

Garage Door Repair or ReplacementHow to Choose
Sometimes garage door repair is more of a hassle than simply replacing the whole system. However, there are several minor problems that most homeowners can fix on their own to save some money.
Motor problems
If you can determine that the source of the problem is in the electric motor, garage door repair is probably a better and more budget-friendly option. When fixing electronics, the most difficult part is usually the diagnosis and not the actual garage door repairs. As with any electronic device, repetitive use strains the parts, dust and debris can become caught in the gears, and fuses short out. The first quick fixes that even the mechanically hopeless can manage are changing the batteries in the opener and flushing the motor clean with a compressed air can, which can be purchased for a few dollars at any electronics store.
If that doesn't work, and you aren't too intimidated, carefully open the motor case and examine it. Look for loose or dislodged parts. If it can run at all, watch the movements and try to identify anything that isn't working properly. If you can spot the problem, you can try to contact the manufacturer to get the part needed or check online for fix-it kits. Even if you are unable to source the materials, when you do call a professional you'll save time and money on an inspection.
Damage to the interior or exterior of the material (most commonly rot and mold in wood) will likely require replacement. If it is made of wooden panels, than garage door repair may be an option depending on the extent of the damage. Check the entire area for splintering sections, visible mold growths, and crumbling areas. It is common in older doors to see problems developing around the frame where the bottom meets the floor. Moisture can accumulate here and the wood expands which can then drag and fragment with impact, or leave a significant gap. The bottom can be cut out (if the rest of the area is still strong enough) and then rubber or metal can be used as a buffer, extending the lifespan for another few years. If you do decide to replace, then consider choosing metal or aluminum.
Torsion Springs
Regular replacement of the torsion springs is highly recommended for safety reasons as well as overall function. There's no need to completely remove the façade unless there is another problem such as rot. While you can save money by replacing them on your own, each spring has a tremendous amount of force behind it. That means a slip-up can cause a serious injury. It is best to leave the job to the pros, and remember to always replace both springs at the same time to ensure proper balancing.

The Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) is an inflation-protected annuity feature of retired military pay that continues to pay a monthly benefit to your dependents after your death.
Unlike some other annuities, payments can never run out. If you die before your spouse, they will continue to get monthly checks until they pass away.
Payments keep increasing by Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA), thereby keeping future payments to survivors protected from inflation.
SPB Spouse Coverage
SBP spouse coverage costs 6.5% of the desired coverage. You can elect full or partial SBP coverage.
DFAS will withhold 6.5% of your retirement pay for surviving spouse coverage. That means for every $1,000 you get in retirement pay DFAS will withhold $65 monthly for SBP. If you die before your spouse they will get $550 in SBP payment for every $1,000 in retirement pay you recieve.
You can also elect a lower level of SBP coverage. For example, if you receive $1,000 of retired pay each month, you can elect to have your coverage based only on $700 of your pay. In this case, DFAS would collect $45.50 each month from your retired pay, and if you die before your spouse they would get $385 each month. There is, however, a minimum level of coverage required that varies by individual.
SBP Benefit Payments
The SBP annuity is determined by the base amount you elect. The base amount may range from a minimum of $300 up to a maximum of full retired pay. The annuity is 55% of the base. Also, the base amount and the payments to the surviving spouse will generally increase at the same time and by the same percentage that cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) are made to retired pay.
Spouse Remarriage
Your surviving spouse may remarry after age 55 and continue to receive SBP payments for life. If remarried before age 55, SBP payments will stop, but may be resumed if the marriage later ends due to death or divorce.
SBP Costs (Premiums)
The SBP premiums for spouse coverage are 6.5% of your chosen base amount.
Inflation Protection
Like your retirement pay the SBP annuity is protected from inflation. Each year when retired pay gets a Cost-of-Living Adjustment - adjustments for inflation, known as 'COLA' -, so does the base amount, and as a result, so do premiums and annuity payments. Meaning that your premiums and annuity payments will increase with the COLA. These increases are determined by the previous year's Consumer Price Index and averages approximately 2.5 percent.
Tax Savings
Monthly SBP costs are not included in your taxable federal income. The true cost for SBP is thus less than the amount deducted from retired pay because less Federal tax will be paid. This also applies to most state income taxes. SBP payments to survivors are taxable, but spouses usually receive benefits when their total income is less and the extra tax exemption for being over age 65 is applicable. The surviving spouse's tax rate should be lower and a long-run significant tax savings should result.
Loss of Spouse
If your spouse dies first or you get divorced, SBP costs will stop (once you notify the pay center). In divorce cases, spouse coverage may be converted to former spouse coverage.
In some instances of divorce, conversion of the coverage to provide for the former spouse may be required by court order.
Special Note:
Public Law provides that a participant is considered "paid-up" after completing 30 years (360 payments) in the plan. This applies to a specific category of beneficiary (i.e., spouse), at a specific base amount (i.e., full retired pay).

China slams "violent crimes" as Hong Kong protests ramp up
Hong Kong — China's central government condemned ongoing protests in Hong Kong on Monday, following another weekend of unrest. Protesters clashed with riot police on Saturday and Sunday, leading to more than 60 arrests.
Government officials say the violence has caused serious damage to the semi-autonomous city's international image, rule of law, and the lives of residents.
CBS News correspondent Ramy Inocencio, who has been covering the protests for two months, said Monday was the first time China's central government held a press conference on affairs in Hong Kong since the city returned to Chinese rule in 1997. Beijing condemned the violent protests, and urged calm.
Without pointing a finger at any specific country or individuals, Chinese government spokesman Yang Guang said "irresponsible people" in the West had shown sympathy to "violent crimes" of what Beijing considers wanton rioters in Hong Kong. He defended the police forces for using "due diligence" in the clashes.
Protesters demanding more freedoms and pushing back against Beijing clashed in street battles with riot police who fired tear gas and rubber bullets. Sunday night, protesters tried to reach the city's top Communist party building again, but police repelled them with more fury than they had before.
Police hauled people away but more protesters threw down signs and threw back tear gas.
On Saturday there was unprecedented chaos near the border with mainland China.
A week earlier angry pro-Beijing mobs beat protesters and bystanders in the subway in Hong Kong. Police response time was slow.
The violent escalation in tension over the weekend was becoming the new normal for one of Asia's most international and financially important cities, with neither the protesters, nor the government in Beijing appearing willing to compromise.
Beijing continues to stand firmly behind Hong Kong's embattled chief executive Carrie Lam. Protesters have demanded she step down, so it appeared there was unlikely to be any quick resolution to the crisis.

Sorry for the delay, thanks for your patience. here you go.
Bhavna went to Sharad and she was very happy.
Sh: Why are you so happy?
Bh: Day before yesterday, we had Suhani's brain scan and the results came today.
Sh: (eagerly) Good news?
Bh: Very!! Doctor Uncle told me that he saw and improvement in her case, like…. like everything may get fine, he said the chances are more!!
Sh: Really?
She nodes happily.
Bh: He is unaware of the reason behind this improvement, as the working of brain and nervous system functioning isn't fully known to us humans! They always do behave weirdly and here too, HER STATE IS IMPROVING!
They hugged each other.
Sh: Did you tell guru and Suhani?
Bh: No, we will, where are they?
"Where are they?" a wonderful question. One ran out of hock and the other was numb by shock!
Yuvraj couldn't move a muscle; Suhani's shocked face flashed in front of him. Dadi was still there, and was telling about his marriage, he wasn't paying any heed. She felt after wishing him good night and he came back to senses.
Yuv: Oh no! What just happened?? I wanted her to know about my feelings, but not like this! How can I face her now? But I have to, I have to talk to her, I have to clear everything!
He started to search for her and found her on the terrace. He was at the door. He wanted to go to her, to tell her everything, but he was afraid. He was afraid of losing her. He was afraid of her reaction, for now she understood that he had hidden things from her, that he didn't tell her the real reason for bring her to Birla house! She would be angry, she had to be, in a way he cheated her. But, what else could have he done? He tried to tell her about his feelings, but he was not able to and then, everything just happened, and this time too, he was about to tell her everything, but before he could……… Now she might misunderstand all these, but it is not late yet.
With greatest effort he took a step forward, he never found walking this difficult. And somehow, by hours, as it appeared to him, he reached her. There was complete silence and hence his footsteps echoed, but she didn't turn towards him.
She is very angry with me, he thought.
Somehow he managed to call her name, and it seems to be the hardest thing ever to do, to speak, and she turned towards him.
He was not able to read her face, she wasn't angry, hurt, shocked as he expected nor she had her beautiful smile as she usually does, there was some other expression on her face, and he looked blanked seeing her. There was complete silence. He tried to speak, to clear the mess.
Yuv: Suhani, you, I, want, hear, speak,
She looked at him and he sighed.
Yuv: Ok fine, I will go on again, wait a second, are you not angry with me?? I mean you,
He stopped speaking, for she thrust her memory book to his hands, with the page of his details open. He looked at her again failed to read her face. He started to read the book.
In the first page, she mentioned meeting him for the first and becoming friends. She also quoted that she never fought like that with anyone before. He smiled thinking of their fights that day. They fought around three four times, on that single day.
He turned the page.
She wrote about meeting him at the temple. Also that day they finalised about the event.
"I had a nice time with him. Don't know how time passes when I am with him, all I know is that I love spending time with him."
He looked at her, his hopes increased, she blinked her eyes. He turned to the next page.
"Event was a grant success, but I am happier to have a friend like him by my side. Thank you for coming in to my life. But I don't know why I felt odd when he mentioned bout his marriage!"
Next page:
"I am so happy today. Today I was able to bring smile on his face. It is a very pleasant feeling, so pleasant that I can't express it by words."
His heart was beating faster with each passing page and she kept looking at him.
"Today, I realised my feeling for him, I love him! I just do. I can never forget what he did for me today; he turned the worst day of my life to a pleasant one. There was always something missing in my life, and today he filled the void. The way he cheered me up, he comforted me, cared for me, and diverted me so that I remain happy. She stayed with me through out, and no one have ever done something like this for me, and I doubt anyone ever could. But will he be able to love me??"
He looked at her again, this time he was able to read her face, she looked contained. He was about to burst, his feelings were just getting out of control; she signed him to read further.
"I don't know whether he will love me or not, but I know that found my man, my soul mate in him, he might not love me, or does he, was it that he was trying to say today, after the birthday party? I don't know. I wish if it was that, but even if it isn't, I know one thing for sure, that I will always love him and him alone"
Yuvraj couldn't control his feelings any longer, he hugged her ad tight a he tight.
Yuv: I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
She too was very emotional and hugged him even tighter and whispered "I love you too"

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carmex®. All opinions are 100% mine.
I knew that Carmex made some fantastic lip balms for dry and chapped lips, but I had no idea that they also made a healing lotion and cream! I recently had the opportunity to try both the Carmex® Healing Lotion and Carmex® Healing Cream, and was very impressed with them.
Carmex Healing Lotion is perfect for daily use. It contains healing ingredients, like aloe and Vitamin E, to moisturize and nourish the skin. I keep it on my desk and apply it to my elbows all the time, which tend to get dry because I'm always leaning them on my desktop. I like that it's not greasy and has a pleasant scent.
Carmex products are available at Walgreens, Walgreens.com and drugstore.com. You can't miss the sunny yellow and red tubes! I suggest you stock up on them for the upcoming winter when dry skin tends to get worse. Use the Healing Lotion for daily maintenance and the Healing Cream when skin becomes especially dry.

World Bulletin/News Desk
A senior Hamas official on Monday blamed the death of an Israeli soldier Sunday in al-Khalil (Hebron) on "oppressive" Israeli policies against Palestinians, including the building of Jewish-only settlements on Arab land, violations of Islamic holy sites and arbitrary detentions.
"The operation [targeting the Israeli soldier] came within the context of self-defense against an Israeli military machine that occupies our land and violates the sanctity of Islamic houses of worship," Gamal al-Taweel, a senior Hamas official from Ramallah, told the Anadolu Agency.
The incident also "proves the failure of security coordination between the Palestinian and Israeli sides," he added, hinting at security coordination between Israel and Hamas' archrival, Fatah.
An Israeli soldier was killed on Sunday in the city of Al-Khalil after his patrol came under fire near the Ibrahimi Mosque, known to Jews as the "Cave of the Patriarchs."
According to al-Taweel, the killing of the soldier in Al-Khalil and the abduction and killing of another in Qalqiliya sends the message that the Palestinian people are "still alive" and that resistance to the ongoing Israeli occupation "will not die."
He urged what he called "the parties that want stability in the region" to work towards realizing basic Palestinian rights, including the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state, the release of Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails and the return of Palestinian refugees to their ancestral homes.
Al-Taweel called on Palestinian Authority negotiators, currently in talks with their Israeli counterparts, to stop what he called the "absurd negotiations with the self-proclaimed Jewish state." Such negotiations, he stressed, had consistently failed to yield any meaningful breakthroughs.
He said the Palestinians needed to adopt a new strategy for national resistance, on which all Palestinian factions agreed.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority resumed US-sponsored peace talks with Israel in late July, after a three-year hiatus. No official results of the negotiations have yet been announced.

Once upon a time people weren't so disillusioned with life, and they believed in the soul as a fluffy section of each human being
They couldn't see it, but they believed in it anyway, and some said, the human journey of each soul kept repeating and repeating its journey on earth as a human being, until each lad and lassy reached their purpose, that being, to create the ideal of it's souls dreams, it's souls job…
Then the soul became the sole, and people started stomping on the hearts of others and popping their clogs in their own ways, through sickness and disease and war and battles for power…
These wars existed in home, street, and country alike
So some clever clever people realised that the heart was leading the soul on a perverted journey, and everyone was sad and in pain
And to resolve this, the humans made so many clever clever things from all the stuff on the earth that Mother Nature provided, and they removed the heart, but left its best essence inside robots, and replaced the soul they couldn't see or believe in… with batteries
Hardcore duracells
And for a while everyone seemed to live happily ever after, with pretend love programmed into the battery operated geniuses
Oh and then old epic pants stared down and up and to the side…laughing his little tits off, cos the very first thing he made was them energy blobs called electrons and neutrons and ions and progens and all that old squit in the air that makes energy (like batteries). Those UNKILLABLE pieces of nature became the new age soul
And even science wasn't clever enough to NOT NEED the energy blobs to make the perfect robots work. Electricity set the world alight
Oh how he still chuckled! (He = LOVE, and he chose to live in a rather scrumptious body, of a rather scrumptious black man)
Dawny was rather addicted to his spooning and HIS scrummy scrummy THIGHS!
Far lower down on the dimensions on plain old earth, there was still 1% of the population that just couldn't believe in a soul, until they asked a certain black man/concept for some guidance, (GOD the old dog), they didn't like asking for help, but every man and woman has its breaking point, and when they asked for help, he told them to search for their soul's ultimate dream.
And he was very clever in making these little blobs back in the day…cos they are all made of the SAME THING, therefore, no matter what dimension man tried to succeed in, they could never escape their soul's dreams. And sooner or later everyone realised that if their dreams came true, (no matter what those dreams were and where) then so would everyone elses, because they all had the same purpose, no matter what the cover of their dreams and minds looked like to them, and all the others
ALL ways, LOVE gets us all ways

Lady Gaga recently admitted that she has suffered from anorexia and bulimia since she was 15-years-old, but the pop singer launched the "Body Revolution" on Tuesday to embrace a more curvier self and share her struggles with her fans. Gaga posted pictures of herself on her website LittleMonsters.com in lingerie displaying her body for the world to see.
"Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15," she writes. "But today I join the BODY REVOLUTION. To Inspire Bravery."
Here are more pictures of the stripped Mother Monster:
Earlier this year Gaga upset fans after she tweeted using the hashtag "#PopSingersDontEat" after admitting she had a eating disorder when she was younger.

Suits fans, sit down. Donna is finally getting hers.
For six long seasons, Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) has been the MVP of Pearson Specter Litt (and all of its earlier iterations). The only reason the firm has survived all of its trials and tribulations, including housing a fraud as a junior associate for years, is because Donna has used her magic powers of intuition and foresight to keep it afloat — and she's demanding she be recognized for it.
We have one thing to say about it: Yaaaaaas girl! IT'S ABOUT TIME.
Season 6 ended with Donna telling Harvey (Gabriel Macht) that she "wants more," and we had a few months to wonder what that really means. It turns out that Donna is going for more in her professional life and that sounds great. In a straight-up baller move, Donna handed Harvey a check for half a million dollars and demanded a seat at the table. That seat has "Senior Partner" written on the back of it, by the way.
That's right. after more than a decade as Harvey's secretary (and a brief stint with Louis), Donna threw down and landed herself a promotion to Senior Partner. Fans have long known that Donna is the real brains of the Suits operation, but now she gets to go toe-to-toe with the big boys instead of manipulating them into thinking her great idea was theirs. They better watch out for her stilettos because this woman is not playing around.
Suits Season 7: "A Lot Will Happen in the Realm of Donna and Harvey"
Of course, her new role will mean some changes for the guys who were just getting used to the idea of running the show without Jessica (Gina Torres) around. Donna already had to smack Louis (Rick Hoffman) down a few pegs so he understood to give her the respect she deserves. Luckily, Mike (Patrick J. Adams) seems onboard with the decision. That leaves only one more big fish: Harvey.
Is Harvey ready to see Donna more as the red-haired savior sitting outside his office? Donna has always challenged Harvey, but the two have never been on equal footing in a professional setting which has always allowed Harvey to take Donna for granted. He's still in charge, but their relationship will have to change now that Donna has some "skin in the game," and is ready to take credit for her own great ideas. They'll not only have to get used to a new work dynamic, but also what that power shift means when it comes to their personal friendship as well.
After all, "more" doesn't have to mean just one thing, does it?
Suits Season 7 continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on USA.

Apparently, one of the managers has been asking for someone fluent in Spanish - to the point of asking the main HR manager (who I met today, as well). I'm coming up on six months here, which would be when I would be allowed to think about transferring to another department. Hrm... (I swear, a real update soon!)

Galeria Luisa Strina
01411-001 São Paulo
The history of the oldest contemporary art gallery in São Paulo, Galeria Luisa Strina, is mixed with the professional career path of Luisa Strina herself. In 1970 Luisa began as an art merchant for friends and artists such as Wesley Duke Lee, Fajardo, Baravelli, Jose Resende and Babinski. In 1974 she opened Galeria Luisa Strina at Baravelli´s old studio with a well-defined strategy: to show the work of national and international artists, both here in Brazil and abroad.
And so, in the same year the gallery opened, she brought the works of American pop artists, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Jim Dine and Andy Warhol, to Brazil for the first time. Luisa Strina introduced diverse exponents of the new generation into the market, such as Leonilson, Cildo Meireles, Tunga, Antonio Dias and Edgard de Souza. In 1992 Galeria Luisa Strina was the first Latin-American gallery invited to participate in the selective Basel Art Fair. Currently, Galeria Luisa Strina represents a mixture of established artists and emerging artists, always showing the most illustrious works available in the Brazilian and International contemporary art market.

If our own childhood memories are anything to go by, nothing adds the 'wow factor' to a children's party more than a bouncy castle
If our own childhood memories are anything to go by, nothing adds the 'wow factor' to a children's party more than a bouncy castle. But if you're thinking about hiring one to make your next celebration one to really remember, there are a few things that you'll need to take into consideration.
First, have you got enough space? This might seem like an obvious one, but you don't just need room for the castle itself. In fact, most setups require some five feet of extra space both in front of and behind the structure, as well as an additional two feet on either side. However, there's no need to panic if your garden is on the small side. In fact, bouncy castle hire comes in a variety of shapes and sizes - so chances are you can find the right fit for your space.
Next, you'll need to decide on the type of bouncy castle that you want. These days, there are so many to choose from, and as well as classic designs there are all sorts of models inspired by the latest fashions and trends. Take some time to consider which one is the best fit for your party. And do you want an attraction that the adults can enjoy as well? Grown up-friendly bouncy castles are available, but are typically require more space and are more expensive to hire.
Once you've decided on a castle and where to put it, you'll need to think about what type of hire package you need. For example, do you just want it for a few hours, or are you hoping to keep it over an entire weekend? Obviously, these will be the main factors affecting price, but there are other elements that can make a big difference too - such as how far away your location is from the hire company, and when you can make yourself available for set up.
Finally, it's important to remember that bouncy castle must be supervised, particularly when there are young children around. To minimise the chore, we recommend buddying up with some other parents and sharing the job of keeping an eye on things. Or, if you really want to relax, some hire companies will provide an experienced supervisor to monitor the castle on your behalf - ensuring that everyone experiences a safe and enjoyable time.

Another week has passed without any new names announced by Sziget 2016. There is a lot of speculation about Radiohead possibly making it to the festival, but there's nothing confirmed just yet. However, there is still a lot of time left until the final lineup of the festival to be announced. Until then, let's see a few bands, like Rammstein and Nightwish, that are in Europe close to the dates of the festival, which could still be announced to play at Sziget 2016. Nightwish Nightwish has been to Sziget twice before, in 2001 and 2002. The band has already announced a series of festival

A new Sziget 2013 speculation round
As we wait for the Sziget 2013 line up to become complete, a new speculation round seems more than a good idea. Even more so, since you guys have already posted a healthy does of possible last names to complete the line up for this year's island extravaganza. So, go ahead and do it in a comment below and let's see what confirms!
Announcement soon! Snoop Dogg @ Sziget 2012?
Some interesting news, as well as speculations today – including a Snoop Dogg one. The Sziget Italia Facebook page says that they can't reveal more, but that just a little more patience is needed (as you can see below). On the other hand, our friend john doe (the guy whose suggestions always tend to confirm), has hinted a few things these days. First, he said +8 :), and then he said that he doesn't know when names will be announced, but that they will be good names. Still, the hint that got everyone going was "what's my name?". It got us all thinking about
30 Seconds to Mars to replace Amy Winehouse at Sziget 2011?
UPDATE: Some more good (or bad) news, depending on the way you see it. :) Our friend Island was at VOLT and, according to him, Jared Leto's exact words were I have a surprise for you. We'll be back. Don't tell anyone but we'll be headlining Sziget Festival later this year! This is a speculation that, if confirmed, will make a lot of people happy. And it will also annoy a lot of people, since 30 Seconds To Mars do seem to generate mixed reactions... Our friend festivalfreak tells us that 30STM lead singer Jared Leto said at VOLT Festival (a Festival that

Wow it was a full on challenge, I wasn't sure I would get through it but I managed to find inspiration everyday, this translated well as a lesson for writers. I had days where I wanted to give up but it taught me that I should just keep on going, I'd happily take on this challenge again in fact where do I sign up.
I loved a lot of the other blogs too, there were some great articles, I wish I had more time to read them all and I found some friends along the way. Whatever you're doing your blog for I can recommend trying this out, I'm thinking of doing a personal challenge just to keep my line of thought moving forward.
Thank you everyone involved, it was fun.

Elswick Harriers hosted their excellent Good Friday Relays on 26th March at the Newburn Riverside Business Park. The men were split into teams of 4 whilst the women were in teams of 3, with each member running a very flat 2.2 mile leg. There were some very fast times from our contingent, meaning some decent overall team placings.
The pick of the teams was the Veteran Female trio of Diana WEIGHTMAN, Alex REED and Tracey SAMPLE who finished 13th of the 36 complete teams in that category.
We entered 1 Senior Mens team, for runners under 35 years of age, and again the foursome did very well by finishing 26th of the 55 teams. All 4 members ran very well with Dan LENG running the fastest of all our members on the day, completing his 2.2 miles in 12.16. However Dean STACKHOUSE, Dominic HARRIS and Richard JOHNSON all contributed to the decent finishing position.
Two Veteran Male teams took part with Phil HEMSLEY running the 2nd fastest leg of the day by a Harrier, 12.30. He was backed up by Ian SIMON, Jon DUFFY and Jock BOLAM, with the team finishing 18th of the 47 Veteran teams.
Last but by no means least the Veteran Male second string team finished 34th. Gary HALL, fresh from a spell out, ran an excellent first leg of 13.20. He handed on to Andy STEPHENSON, then Mark DOCTOR and finally Micky Aiston.
There are more opportunities to get involved in the Spring Relays, with the Wallsend Harriers Gordon Smith Memorial Relays taking place on Wednesday 11th May (more details to follow). Results:
Veteran Women:
13-Diana WEIGHTMAN 15.05, Alex REED 15.55 and Tracey SAMPLE 15.46. Total 46.46.
Senior Men:
26-Dean STACKHOUSE 12.59, Dan LENG 12.16, Dominic HARRIS 12.42 and Richard JOHNSON 12.38. Total 50.35.
Veteran Men:
18-Ian SIMON 12.45, Jon DUFFY 14.24, Phil HEMSLEY 12.30 and Jock BOLAM 14.46. Total 54.25.
34-Gary HALL 13.20, Andy STEPHENSON 15.38, Mark DOCTOR 14.26 and Micky AISTON 16.18. Total 59.42.

The story:
The Greek Corsair Corrado manages to infiltrate the camp of the Turks, commanded by the pasha Seid. He is disguised and is not recognised, but his corsairs attack the camp before he gives the signal. He is wounded, discovered and arrested. Gulnara, one of Seid's concubines, saves him. But when the Corsair finally manages to return to his island refuge, he finds his beloved Medora dying of grief: the false news of his death had arrived before him. Corrado, overcome, throws himself into the sea and disappears among the billowing waves.
When Verdi signed the contract with the publisher Lucca for an opera to present in one of the major Italian theatres in 1848, he could not yet have imagined what a horrible year that year of upheaval was to be: the five days of Milan, the termination of Austrian domination in Venice and the first war of independence when Carlo Alberto di Savoia declared war on Austria. The libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, taken from The Corsair by George Byron, had been ready for some time when Verdi finally composed the music during his stay in Paris. He gave the score to the publisher Lucca in February 1848, telling him he could do with it what he would, whether in Italy or elsewhere, showing a total lack of interest for his creation. Il corsaro finally opened to the public on the stage of the Teatro Grande in Trieste on October 25th, 1848, with no great success, a situation which confirmed Verdi's lack of interest for his work.

I'm legally blind and receive SSI because I became disabled before I had any work credits. I've been self-employed since 2012 and believe I'll have enough credits for my age soon. Once I get enough credits for my age, can I switch from SSI to SSDI as long as my earnings don't exceed the limit for SSDI eligibility?
Hi there,
If you are on SSI, it is unlikely that you have been earning enough to later qualify for SSDI. If you do somehow have enough work credits, you can actually earn both at once if your SSDI benefits are less than $733 per month. You can look at our chart on work credits to determine exactly how many you need to qualify: http://www.disability-benefits-help.org/glossary/work-credits
How do you determine how many work credits that you have?
Hi Phillip,
This will depend on how much income you earn. You earn one work credit per $1,220 of taxable income you've made, but you can only get four per year. So if you've been making at least $5,000 per year, you will have enough work credits to qualify.
I have a permanent condition that causes my disability and am under 24. I have been receiving SSI since I was 18. I am a recent college graduate and working towards my career. Do I understand the chart correctly, that if I earn 6 work credits before I turn 24 then I qualify for SSDI? My SSI is adjusted to $627.50 because I have $83.50 earned income so does that mean I may qualify for both SSI and SSDI since my SSI is under $733? Also please explain Diversions since my most recent NOD for SSI mentions HMA $735 under diversions. Thank you.
Hi there,
You may be eligible for SSDI benefits, however the amount you would receive would be based on the amount you had paid in. If you get SSDI benefits, you would qualify for SSI benefits if the amount you receive for SSDI is less than $735. Also, Diversions may be a part of the benefits that you receive from your state, so you may want to contact the office than handles benefits in your state for more information.
I recently was on SSI age 63; can you switch to SSDI after a disabilty with a heart attack and Dialysis 3-times a week?
Hi There,
Those conditions may qualify you for SSDI. In certain cases actually one can receive SSI And SSDI at the same time.
I'm 40, I have been on ssi for 5 years or more, I was short a few credits to qualify for ssdi, I had not worked the past 9-10 years until this year I earned 6000$ getting 4 credits- if I now or in the future have enough credits can I upgrade to ssdi? Or will they say I don't have enough in the right time period or what? In general is it possible to go from ssi to ssdi if u start earning credits while on ssi??
Hi Joe,
You may be able to do so if you have enough work credits.
Actually asking for a friend: Who has had severe mental illness since childhood. He has been receiving SSI since moving out of a state mental hospital. He has worked on and off at supported part time paid work, for which he paid taxes, for about 15 years. Over the last three years he has worked steadily at the same part time job. He is interested in switching from SSI to SSDI, is this possible? His mental illness is chronic and he manages his illness with medication and therapy. He has never worked full-time and we are concerned that an increase in hours could exacerbate his anxiety and illness. Thank you in advance of your response.
Hi Ruth,
Generally, those mental illness cases are tough to win for SSDI. However, if he has enough work credits, he could be able to qualify for SSDI.
My son is 31 and has cerebral palsy has not worked and he gets SSI can he get full disabitity
Hi Karen,
Unfortunately, he will not be able to qualify for SSDI benefits, since he has no prior work history.
I had a stroke and have not been able to work in 3 years. I have work credits from my past jobs. But not being able to work I was put on SSI. How can I receive SSI?
Hi GC,
You should look over the SSA's Blue Book with your doctor to make sure you meet a listing. Then when you are ready to apply, you can apply online or visit your local SSA office to apply in person (make an appointment before you go!). Best of luck!
I've been on ssi for two years I'm 51 can I get ssdi
Hi there,
It all depends if you have a sufficient amount of work credits. If you do, then you could qualify for SSDI benefits.
I am 61 & on SSI and am wondering can I switch to SSDI... I was denied before but now my health is much worse. I've worked but I haven't in over 10 years. Is that an absolute requirement?
Hi Denise,
I'm sorry but the work credits are required for SSDI!
If I receive SSI now, but am returning to work part time this month earning 1000/month steadily as I plan to do over the next 5 years (which equals at least 20 credits), will I be able to apply for SSDI by the time I'm 40? Can you upgrade from SSI to SSDI if you are working part time while still receiving SSI?
Hi Sarah,
There is no "upgrading" from SSI to SSDI as they both have different qualifications. Since you plan on making $1,000 over the next 5 years, you'll be entered into the Trial Work Period. If at the end of the 9 month TWP the SSA finds that you are able to make above the Substantial Gainful Activity allowance, you may lose your SSI. If you are then unable to work and not make the SGA, then you may qualify for SSDI if you then have enough work credits.
I was receiving ssi benefits but got married, my wife made to much so my benefits were taken away. I am still considered disabled. Apparently I was only 3 credits away from receiving ssdi benefits, and have recently met those requirements. How hard will it be to get ssdi now?
Hi Topher,
If you have the work credits then you may be able to receive SSDI. If you were able to work and make a decent living wage then the SSA may find that you are ineligible that way though. Best of luck!
I am permanently disabled I did not qualify initially for SSD I have been receiving SSI is there any circumstances in New York state where after receiving 24 months of SSI can it convert to SSD
Hi John,
It is possible, but it depends on the amount of work credits that you have received. To qualify for SSDI, you must have been working and "paid into" social security in the form of taxes.
My daughter was receiving SSI from age 18 . Her Dad retired early and the representative recommended that she switch to SSDI and collect off of his earning record . At the time she was age 21. Her benefits were suspended in August 2019 due to overpayment . Her Dad earned more than permitted and they both have suspended benefits . They set up a payment plan but
Neither is currently receiving benefits . Social Security said they would start to get paid again in Feb 2020.. My daughter does not work can she switch back to SSI? This was very bad advice so much has happened that has caused her issues... Bad information from Social Security ...They told her that once she Signed a payment agreement that she would start getting back her benefit which has not happened... She needs this money for her living expenses. Can you provide any information on how we can remedy this issue.
Without more personal information, I cannot give you an exact answer, but I will try to give a general one. I am sure that you are hesitant, but your local SSA office will be the best place to go over her individual case.
SSDI is based on work history, which it does not seem like your daughter will have. SSI is available for those that do not have a source of income. There are very specific income and asset limits. By making an appointment with the SSA, you will be able to go over the assets that she has and the household income that she has.
How do you check your work credits
This is a good resource that goes in depth into work credits. Work credits are determined by your income and you can earn a maximum of 5 credits per year.
My husband is on SSDI since he was 54, he is now 63 and would like to go back to work can he convert his SSDI to SSI so he can work full time without penalties?
Hi i am on ssi i was approved as a child when i was in foster care im 25 and has been informed that i cannot work at all due to my health conditions.. Conditions in which i just found out that i had myself.. Due to this will i be able to switch from ssi to ssdi
Hi There,
You'll need to have enough work credits to receive SSDI. If you have enough, then your SSDI benefit may impact your SSI & reduce or stop the SSI benefit.
I am currently on ssi, my dad will soon get social security. I was told I will get a bump in ssi or go on ssdi. Is that true. Also they said there will be a phone interview, what will they ask me?
Hi Nick,
If your dad is going to receive SSDI and you are under 18, then you may be eligible for auxiliary benefits (separate from your SSI). If that is the case though, your SSI may be reduced or stopped. For some under 18, their SSI is based on household income, which your dad's benefits will contribute to.
If you are over 18, you shouldn't see any change in your SSI.
Why did my SSDI decrease this month when my situation/finances did not change? The only change was getting stimulus check..
Hi There,
Because we are not affiliated with the SSA, that is not information we have access to. You can try calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213.
Why do men on SSI never pay child support when their check is as much as someone making minimum wage?
Hi Lisa,
Disability benefits and child support are two different entities. Child support is decided by the Courts while disability benefits is a federal program.
I'm on ssi how can I get on ssdi?
Hi Coates,
You will need to apply for SSDI. To qualify, you'll need to have earned enough work credits (which are earned by working and paying into Social Security). If you are approved for SSDI, you SSI may be reduced or stopped since it is based on income.
Received ssi and navy retired also 70 % va disabled.can I received ssi disability
Hi John,
Eligibility for ssdi is dependent on the work credits that you have earned. This article by the SSA will give you a little more information on work credits:
If you believe you meet those qualifications, consider connecting with an attorney here: https://www.disability-benefits-help.org/form/free-disability-evaluation

I think this bra is too shallow for me and a bit of a shape mismatch. It's not uncomfortable, but I get a lot of gapping in the center near the cups. Disappointing since this is such a cute bra!

Like so many others for me the straps are too far out causing discomfort. I moved the straps in a bit in the front and vast improvement. Otherwise, the fit is pretty good, I can wear it all day.

I was really hopeful this one would fit, since it was one of the recommendations for me. The gore is too wide for its height, causing spillage in the center. If it was shorter as in a plunge, the width would not be an issue. The gore tacks my sternum OK, but squishes the breast tissue up and out. The rest of the cup fits OK, not great. The top edge lays flat until I roll my shoulders forward, then it gapes. Also needs to be wider on the sides since there was side spillage. The band is a bit large. I had to use the middle hooks to start off with. Not keeping this one.

The cup on this bra fits quite nicely, but as usually with Freya bras, I should be wearing a 30. I have to fasten this bra on the middle or tightest set of hooks.

This was the first bra I bought on my search for a better fitting bra, and the first one with a size outside of the "bra matrix". At the time, my measurements said more 30F, but coming from a 38C the 30 band seemed absurdly tight and impossible to wear, and after trying on a few other similar sizes settled on a 32E. Now, my measurements are more in the 30G/GG range, probably from tissue migration. Despite this, the bra still kind of fits in a weird way? The band is definitely too big and has stretched out a bit, but there's a lot of fit issues I ... normally have that aren't present. I think somehow the incorrect size makes up for the totally wrong shape (I have another Freya padded half cup in what should be my correct size, and it fits REALLY strangely). What I think is happening is the bra's apex projection is fitting my immediate projection, and because I'm full on bottom and this bra is open on top, it's not causing quadboob. At least, that's the only thing I can figure. I wouldn't recommend other FOB ladies try to recreate this fit, however, as in person it's clear the cups are too small (despite no quadboob). Anyway, it's a really lovely bra and it will always hold a special place to me as the first step on my bra journey!

I've tried this bra in two different sizes and both didn't work so I'm guessing the shape is not right. Might be better for full on top shape.

I really like how this fits with one exception - the sides are a tad low and some breast tissue spills over it. While it looks a little goofy when I'm not wearing a shirt, with a shirt it usually isn't noticeable. I wasn't planning on it fitting that way, but decided that I'm happy with it. My other bras offer side support that holds it all in, but sit rather high, so it shows in the armholes of some of my tank tops. I don't have that problem with this bra. This is my first half cup, and I LOVE it. I have really really soft, malleable ... breast tissue that sits pretty wide and this one really pulls it in and pushes it up and makes it appear a bit more rounded and fuller on top. It has a bit less coverage and more cleavage than my Cleo Juna (6461) , which is awesome in my book. One tiny other complaint: the material is a little weird and maybe a bit rough? It's not uncomfortable, but for the first few wears it rubbed on my armpit and made it tender. My Freya Secret Garden Padded Half Cup Bra (1373) fits similarly but doesn't rub because the material is satin soft, so this leads me to think it's a bra issue and not a fit issue.
TL;DR I highly suggest giving it a try if you're on the fence about it. It has been great for my soft/shallow/wide breasts, even if I've had a few issues in the armpit.

I really like this bra, however, at first I didn't think it fit because it took some adjusting and the band seemed long. Although lightly "padded" there is no thick foam or anything. It is definitely a push-up but pretty comfortable. You can see the vertical seams through clothing, but not more-so than other seamed bras.

Project overview
This feasibility study is examining fundamental questions about the definition of a 'good' service for children in need, as well as ways of accurately assessing whether that standard has been reached. Evidence on these questions will pave the way for a fuller investigation of exactly how these standards have been achieved, sustained or eluded in a sample of local authorities that reflect different journeys between success and failure.
The feasibility study consists of:
- A review of the literature on what works in delivering effective children's social care and how service improvement can be achieved and embedded.
- A review of current national measures and existing national datasets used to assess the effectiveness of children's social care, which will identify gaps and suggest how the national statistical evidence could be improved.
- The development of a typology of local authorities based on their children's social services performance and capacity to improve, or lack thereof.
Some local authorities appear to have become trapped in an apparent cycle of failure when it comes to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children in need. There is evidence that action taken in response to critical Ofsted inspections often fails to deliver sustained improvement, suggesting that understanding why things go wrong and what constitutes success does not necessarily translate into the ability to improve practice.
Alongside this is the question of how best to accurately assess the quality of children's services. The current inspection programme is resulting in falling Ofsted ratings, but the Association of Directors of Children's Services, the Local Government Association and the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives are questioning whether this approach is either accurate or helpful.

Looks like Lil Wayne's favorite future ballers baby mama is bout to make it rain on them hoes!
Maya Moore isn't that much different from any other fresh-out-the-collegiate-box graduate. After kicking a lot of ass in college, she landed the job she's best suited for. Then she signed an endorsement deal with Jordan Brand, becoming the brand's first female basketball signee.
The first overall pick in the 2011 WNBA draft, Moore was the face of UConn demolishing teams for basically all of her four years at the school. The Huskies won back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010, went 150-4 over four years and put together an NCAA record 90-game win streak. She was a two-time national player of the year, a three-time academic All-American and four-time All-American on the court. She was then grabbed by the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA draft.
The move makes sense for JB, who has bumped up its production of women's shoes in recent years. Whether Moore rocks the Jordan 2011, retro Jordans or hits the court in women's versions of MJ's shoes, having an on-court game changer in the most popular basketball sneaker in the world is a good move for the brand.
The WNBA pre-season gets underway tomorrow.
Says Jordan Brand about their new acquisition:
"Not only has Maya proven to be a prolific winner on the court, but her hunger and determination to make an impact off the court makes her a valuable addition to the Jordan family. We look forward to working with Maya as she carries her success to the next level."
Recognized as one of the greatest collegiate women's basketball players to ever play, Moore led the University of Connecticut Huskies to back-to-back NCAA titles in 2009 and 2010. During her tenure at UCONN, she re-wrote college basketball's record books by leading the Huskies to a 150-4 record, including an NCAA Division I basketball record 90-game win streak.
"I am thrilled to welcome Maya Moore into the Jordan Brand," said Michael Jordan. "Not only has Maya proven to be a prolific winner on the court, but her hunger and determination to make an impact off the court makes her a valuable addition to the Jordan family. We look forward to working with Maya as she carries her success to the next level."
Boasting numerous career accolades which includes earning two National Player of the Year awards (2010, 2011), three Academic All-American awards (2009-2011), four National All-American awards (2008-11), and most recently being named the top overall pick in the 2011 WNBA draft by the Minnesota Lynx, the 6'0" forward will join a renowned lineup of Jordan Brand athletes highlighted by Derek Jeter, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Andre Johnson among others.
Congratulations Maya! We're sure that you're gonna make BIG money when your shoe comes out with that Jumpman on the back. We're looking forward to seeing what they look like.
Peep a few pics of why Jordan Brand chose Miss Moore to rep them, she's a winner.

What are you waiting for? GO!
Rouge (ルージュ, Ruuju?) is a character from Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals. She is the scantily clad captain of the sky pirates, with a love for all things shiny and expensive.
Rouge has long red hair, tied up in a ponytail and styled into a fringe in the front and gray eyes. Her outfit leaves little to the imagination. She wears a black leather two-piece uniform not unlike her pirate comrades, although with a large white bow on her back and a similar bow around her neck as a tie.
Terrible as a pirate, Rouge jumps on any opportunity to make money, and absolutely loves anything that holds any value. This even leads her to do things she normally wouldn't, becoming a reluctant protagonist as the story progresses. She's not terribly smart and slightly self-centered, with a fondness for torture.

Attending to property transactions throughout South Africa. Drafting of agreements of sale and attending to transfer registrations in the various Deeds Offices. When you buy or sell immovable property, you need an agreement of sale. I can draft the agreement for you or when an estate agent is involved, normally but not necessarily, the parties will use the sales agreement of the estate agent. A conveyancer will be appointed in the agreement, who will attend to the registration of the transaction. The seller or the buyer can appoint the conveyancer and you do not need to use the attorney of the estate agent. When one party, the buyer or the seller, signs the agreement of sale, it is referred to as an offer to buy or sell, which becomes a legal agreement of sale when the other party signs and accepts the offer.

Photo Proofing is process that allows clients to choose images/videos, before Photographer will make any work on them. This means that after photo session is done, you can just dump all images online, and let your client choose what you should work on.
This is the idea, a great one, as it removes lot of guessing, and wasted effort from your shoulders. What is more, client also feels more helpful(even if he knows nothing about photography art). Besides that there is more contact points, thanks to that client can feel progress of work.
Tools for photo proofing
There are some great tools out there, that concentrate wholly on photo proofing. These are online tools, often with mobile apps, and various other improvements. Such online photo proofing tools can be great if you don't have website, or you are just not interested in bringing traffic to your site.
Problems with online photo proofing services
However this can create problems:
- you have to upload images to external service,
- you are billed monthly for such service(30$ or more),
- another login and password for you and client to care about,
- you lose control over your client,
- you expose client to new service, while he was familiar with your website already.
These might not be big issues to some folks, but some really care about this. For them, best solution is to use photo proofing right on their site. If you care and your site is build on WordPress, then you are in luck.
Photo proofing on WordPress website
Photo proofing, or client area, is feature that enable your clients to select images they want/like right from your site. In some implementations they can also comments on photos, to tell you what they like or dislike about particular item. No extra hassle required. You have everything in one place, nicely organized and presented, so work at least in this area can be seamless.
Thanks to this your customers have easy interface that they use to communicate you what they want.
Typical process looks like this:
- You create album with photos for your client to choose from.
- You protect this album with password, that you share with your client.
- Your client select and comment on photos.
- After client is done, he inform you about it.
The more above points are automated, the better for you!
Rife Theme is Photo proof!
In our Rife WordPress theme, that is focused on photography and portfolios, we included photo proofing feature. What is more we have improved it beyond what we have seen already in other implementations.
Enhanced photo proofing process in Rife Theme consist of:
- uploading your photos with bulk uploader, so you can just drag & drop your 200 photos,
- you can work not only with photos but videos also,
- client can comment on each photo and video,
- you and client have access to filter, that can show selected, not selected and commented items,
- if there is need, you can add additional filter(tags to images) in each album(this requires manual tagging of items),
- client have option to mark album as "finished", and that will send e-mail to you automatically and give notice about it in admin area,
- whenever client will make some new selection, after he finished album already, he will get option to mark album as finished again, and you will get notice about it.
Here is image that presents some of our improvements to photo proofing:
You can read more about how it works in Rife theme documentation and see it in action on our demo.
Plans for improvements
We are not done yet, and we plan to add new features to make our photo proofing much better:
- accessing albums with special link, that will remove need for password for client,
- option to ZIP all selected photos, so client could download them,
- adding place where you can get filenames of all selected images.
If you feel like there is something that can improve it, feel free to tell us about it!
Do you have website that you use to show up your creative work? Site that shows how skilled you are as photographer, thanks to which new clients dream to work with you. Why not to use same site to work with those clients, and show them that how professional you are? You can always switch to some external solutions, but why would you do that when you have photo proofing built in your site with Rife Theme?

Camper Vans A Brief History
Hiring a camper van for a vacation is becoming an increasingly popular choice for those seeking new adventures. The lure of the open road and freedom to roam wherever you please is an appealing thought for many. Knowing a little about the history of the camper van can give you that sense of belonging whilst out on the road.
A traditional camper van has a folding roof that pops up to provide room for the sleeping quarters. One of the favorite makes of camper vans has been that of VW. The VW camper van based on the VW Beetle, made its first appearance at the 1949 Geneva Motor Show and the basic design has held the test of time. The vans do around 25 miles to the gallon and offer plenty of internal space.
The VW camper is a firm favorite with the surfing community. It has remained a popular choice for the young at heart for decades and has become a symbol of free spirit for many. Often seen with a new paint job featuring large flowers, these vans have long secured their iconic status and a place in history.
Another of the iconic camper vans were those created by Wally Byam of the Airstream company. Airstream started off in 1936 with a trailer called "the Clipper". Using aircraft technology to reduce wind resistance and provide optimal strength to weight ratio, the Airstream has become a true American icon.
The first Airstream branded motorhome called 'the Classic? made its debut in 1979. The company continues to innovate and produce camper vans to this day and has a 10,000 strong international membership of the Wally Byam Caravan Club. Over 1000 rallies are held each year by the club.
Camper vans have evolved into what we call motorhomes. As the name suggests, the objective is to create a 'mobile home from home?. Motorhomes come in all shapes and sizes and are generally classed by the distance between the front axle to the rear axle. This measurement is called the ?wheelbase length? and is termed as short, medium and long.
When hiring or even buying a motorhome you should try and arrange a test drive first so that you can decide which style best fits your needs. My personal preference is to use medium wheelbase vans as they tend to offer the best compromise between size and comfort. Whatever van you choose it's sure to be an adventure.
