Surrounding of the apartment Gran Via Suites 1 in the Eixample neighbourhoodThe Eixample district breaths the grandeur of the late-nineteenth century bourgeoisie, that knew how to marry class and practical daily life.

Ratings over 10 comments8.6Situation8.6Atmosphere7.4Comfort8.3Cleaning8.92Hisae 05 April 201210We stayed here for five nights. As the kitchen was well equiped and fresh igredients were readily available from near-by markets, we ended up cooking dinner every night instead of eating out. The location was perfect for our purpose of the stay this time (which is to run the Marato Barcelona that starts and ends in Plaza Espagna).Maintenance of the apartments was excellent. Furniture and electrical appliances are in perfect conditions and the bathroom was super clean. The water pressure from shower was strong and it drained well, which was a postive surprise. As you also gave a warning about the noise from the street in your website, our expectation was well managed in advance. If one is used to fall asleep in front of TV (like ourselves), probably he/she will be able to sleep through the noise from the street in this apartment. Lastly, we really appreciated your flexibility to meet our travel schedule. Despite our late arrival at night, someone from your office dropped by to hand over the keys. The check-in process including payment was very quick and smooth. Looking forward to coming back next year.Please keep up the excellent services.Was this comment helpful to you?YesNo2Jinky 27 August 201110Our stay at the Gran Via Suite 1 was perfect. The place met and exceeded our expectations. The fully-equipped kitchen, the superb location, the ultra-comfortable bed, the very nice modern finish of the entire apartment, the very professional staff, the list goes on and on. This apartment ticked all the boxes for us. As perpetual travellers having stayed in many serviced apartments worldwide, the Gran Via Suite 1 takes the top spot for us and is our favorite.

Even though the apartment was rather out of our budget, we felt we got good value for money, and would recommend it to others.The apartment had everything we needed, except maybe a full-length mirror, and we appreciated that a washing machine and ironing facility were at hand. The apartment was very quiet, and very central, and we felt very safe. Definitely great value for money.The only criticism I could have is that there was a bit of a lack of communication on our arrival and departure. We unfortunately only had text roaming, and could not phone, and it did not appear our texts delivered to Javier's phone, although others in Europe seemingly received texts we sent them. As such, we waited for quite a while outside the flat, before having to phone from a public phone to let him know we were there. Similarly, when we left, we arranged to meet at a certain time to give back the keys, but Javier did not appear, and it was only after we had to phone from a public phone that he said he was not able to meet and for us to rather leave our keys back in the apartment, which was slightly inconvenient, as we then left later for the airport than we planned.Was this comment helpful to you?YesNo0Ryan 27 July 20129The location was very convenient, accommodations were outstanding!--Was this comment helpful to you?YesNo0Patricia 14 June 20128Nous avons passé une agréable semaine dans cet appartement en mai 2012, je vous le recommande sans hésitation.

Palm Promises More webOS Phones in 2011
New webOS devices readied for early next year.
It was already announced that HP and Palm were readying webOS-powered tablets for next year, so it's only logical that the companies are preparing a new batch of webOS-enable smartphones for early 2011.
Details on these phones, including processor speed, carrier, and so forth. A logical assumption would be that the devices will launch with webOS 2.0 onboard, even that's not a given. VentureBeat reports that at least one of the new devices will be be a keyboard-less touch-based device with a high resolution screen similar to iPhone's. The project's codename is Mansion.
Expect further announcements on Palm's new devices as it gets closer to the new year or another shareholders call. Until then, dream away, webOS supporters.

Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during the fourth quarter (October through December) of 2002 increased at an annual rate of 0.7 percent. For the entire 2002 year, real GDP increased at a rate of 2.4 percent. This is the advance release of the data for the quarter and will be updated in the February 28th release of the GDP data. This compares to rates of 5.0 percent in the first quarter, 1.3% in the second quarter of year, and 4.0% in the third quarter. During 2001, real GDP increased by .3 percent - a year in which real GDP fell during the first three quarters. Annual growth rates in 1999 and 2000 were 4.1 percent and 3.8 percent.
Explore the connection between the economic indicators and real-world issues. These lessons typically can be done in one class period.
Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during the fourth quarter (October through December) of 2001 increased at an annual rate of 1.4 percent. This is the "preliminary" estimate for the fourth quarter and is a revision of the announcement of a .2 percent increase that was made one month ago. It is still based on incomplete data and will be revised in the "final" estimates one month from now. During the first three quarters of 2001, real GDP changed at annual rates of +1.3 percent, +0.3 percent and -1.3 percent respectively.

World Service Authority issues world passport for Snowden
The World Service Authority (WSA), a Washington-based charity and executive branch of the World Government of World Citizens, has issued a world citizen passport for Former US national Edward Snowden, who disclosed America's mass monitoring program, the Voice of Russia reported.
"WSA Issues World Passport to Edward Snowden Based Upon Article 13 (2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," reads the message posted on the charity's Twitter page.
"This unprecedented situation reveals dramatically the power of one individual versus the nation-state system, while highlighting individual sovereignty. The fact that Snowden is immobilized in a Moscow Airport Transit lounge further exposes the fiction of nation-state frontiers," WSA's founder Garry Davis said.
The World Government of World Citizens has been issuing its passports since September 1953, although only four countries – Mauritania, Tanzania, Ecuador and Togo – recognize these IDs.

A lot.
Meantime the group organizing for action needs to be organizing for America.
And they are pushing for president Obama's reelection is launching an online ad campaign focusing on members of congress who have not publicly committed to supporting background checks.
And you can see it's sort of it's not and that north sort of these full screen pictures -- concede there's one and tell this congressman it's time to close background check loopholes that's.
That's their focus in this -- So usually winning this message war so far.
Clark reflected as a former consultant to the about a campaign in principle -- consulting Mike Gallagher is syndicated radio host and -- Fox News contributor so.
I mean the NRA -- is obviously powerful -- -- got the music and it's got that you know our liberties about the but in comparison to an online.
-- but the background check issue Marjorie has 90%.
Among the American people so I don't know that they need as many bells and whistles to persuade people nonetheless they need to persuade lawmakers there's not gonna happen.
Right and I think what this ad doesn't -- dangerous about the NRA added that sort of reminds me of an epic movie trailer for a war found.
And the thing isn't it it's not a war and what we need to do and and what's not doing a disservice to all of us is creating that that the bipartisan issue.
Because you stated 90% of Americans actually support the idea of doing background checks.
On people who -- gun owners.
And what the debate has -- is they're trying to take our guns the way are you know we want to keep our guns and that the reality is that's not the debate at all it's about.
Coming up with a responsible.
That allow people -- -- still go hunting in and have their -- to do so.
But also to make sure that there are people who are certifiably.
Mentally ill running around with semiautomatic weapons that -- -- at risk.
And with they did this year and shopping malls and an elementary schools -- -- I think that's what we need to do.
-- in the detail -- and he -- -- because you know there have been other side gets upset when they hear.
The president or his supporters talk about what you need and -- and always fall back on hunting because they say.
I don't have to hunt.
I don't need -- hunting I consider my own house and have a gun for self protection or just about one I had it because the constitution says it can't.
Well the rhetoric is very important -- and I noticed the Marjorie couldn't resist.
Right at the outset using the word dangerous.
In the same sentence with the NRA there's nothing dangerous about the NRA message it's a powerful message.
I mean Marjorie come on this is not there's nothing.
-- let me finish please there's nothing scary about the NRA's position.
That Americans get to hold on to their constitutional right to keep and bear -- -- I do think there's are a great debate to be had and there's nothing wrong -- talking about expanded background checks and -- I've gotten a lot of flak from my conservative colleagues because I think it's time to have that conversation -- I'm -- with the so called -- -- 90% who say that.
You know it's OK to close some loopholes if there are loopholes that exist nobody wants dangerous people to get their hands on guns but we need.
The NRA now more than ever when President Obama and lists his.
-- to go after -- target congressman who are Second Amendment friendly this fight is -- is a tough when it's it's a real difficult battle Obama I think.
The left is afraid that they're gonna lose this battle I think Obama thinks she's gonna lose that I don't think -- -- realistic way that they're gonna in -- upon the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms I.
We're going to be -- Am pretty clear about what I think dangerous I'm not -- -- an hour and I'm not putting that in any particular -- with a group I'm pointing that it anyone who is politicizing this discussion.
Because I'll come -- both sides are doing now like the level of -- let us let me -- group.
-- -- -- -- -- They always do that animated about our -- sick of these Washington politicians or -- notebook is that about why I ask you something like that -- a larger point.
That the obesity at the jumped out at me in the NRA -- is something that we hear a lot.
From conservative blogs and in more conservative viewers and it was the part where they talk about.
The arrogance of their superiority requires this reminder they don't own us they don't give us rights we grant -- power.
They don't make us safe we -- to protect them.
They don't make us free we -- free already.
The NRA is trying to take this into a much more fundamental place of this is about government infringement on your liberties and -- and that is a theme that.
Some believe.
Has resonated in an -- -- on gun control.
Yeah and it I think that's an important part of how this is becoming politicized but we have to think about in our country what our overall values are.
Freedom is absolutely one of them safety and protection -- also part of those values and I think that's where the discussion of how do we create a rule of law.
And a rule of order because when we look at our country for example when you go to get your driver's license.
You hot you can't -- apple like that or you can't have good vision problems because that endangers other Americans by you being on the road.
In the same way that if we have a mentally ill gun owner.
That with other Americans in danger so I think it's not about taking away rights it's about creating protections that make -- encrypting and maintaining.
Still independence but also safety and if you usually you can get.
A driver's license with vision problem you just had that you can't -- Clinton limited you can -- my mind.
I read it correctly it -- -- -- now let me try to go ahead Mike but.
-- what you -- -- and it's an important one a lot of the anti gun crowd can't resist using the phrase.
-- the parameters do you really need it you know -- and and and Americans resent the heck out of being told by a politician.
What they think we need or don't need listen.
Guys I'm sorry this is the silly season we've got Vice President Biden literally advising people to go by a shotgun and fired in the air outside your back door and that'll scare off the burglars -- That's not just crazy Joseph spouting off President Obama has -- Vice President Biden to head up.
Pro productive ways to battle this particular issue are you kidding me we got crazy uncle Joseph Biden the guy who comes over for Thanksgiving dinner and rebels into apparently in charge of advancing this problem so -- or this kind of this conflict debate between gun owners in the gun grabber so.
This -- those overseas.
You know edited at some -- lawyer came out and said -- What that what the vice president advises illegal if you can't you know he -- -- got -- in Delaware and hinted that it had to do it.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- Well I think -- highlighting the many ironies that exist here in the same way that I find it ironic that we let someone out of prison and be mentally -- running the Streep also with a semiautomatic weapon that the vital link to kill people -- I think.
You know the key -- the got to highlight what the -- -- think -- -- and -- polarizing issue.
No it's like you mentioned the mentally ill and it's like all we have always it would about the mentally ill wait -- -- rid of that discussion ago you are -- great to see you thank you both so much thanks thanks.

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of May 18, 2009
"I'm telling you the truth, I wouldn't lie to you," insisted Taylor as she
explained how Ridge and Brooke's marriage license was never filed properly
because Pam had messed up some of the details. Ridge was stunned as Taylor
revealed that Stephanie had known about this for a while but Taylor couldn't
keep quiet about it any longer. Taylor pointed out her and Ridge's shared
opinion about Rick and that Brooke continues to go against his feelings.
Ridge and Taylor bonded further over their hatred and disgust for Rick.
Ridge wondered if he and Brooke's relationship can survive if she keeps
siding with her son. "I just don't know if Brooke and I are going to be able
to make it," Ridge groaned. He then announced that he wasn't going to refile
the marriage license and didn't want Brooke to know. Taylor stepped in and
kissed him.
"You think I would actually hook up with you?" scoffed Donna to Bill.
"You're out of your mind." However, Bill stressed that a little cooperation
from Donna could help Eric. "You're my kind of woman," Bill noted. "You go
after what you want and get it." Donna professed her love for her husband
but Bill said it would only be a matter of time until he gets what he wants.
Donna asked what Bill's true agenda was for "Eric and me" but he just
flirted shamelessly with her some more then dismissed her when he got a
business call.
Steffy relayed to Rick how her dad wasn't impressed with Rick's homage to
Phoebe. Brooke entered and agreed that a relationship between her son and
Steffy would be just too "volatile." Rick objected to his mom's lack of
support but Brooke said she had to be worried about the state of her own
marriage. Steffy still called Rick's effort a beautiful tribute to her
sister but she said that they would need to keep their distance because of
Ridge's feelings. Brooke advised them to say goodbye to each other and left.
Rick tried to convince Steffy not to give up on their shot at happiness but
she said she couldn't turn her back on her dad. "We have to go our separate
ways," she insisted. Rick gave the engagement ring back and tenderly kissed
Taylor tried to track down Stephanie to tell her that Ridge knows about his
invalid marriage. Meanwhile, Nick, Stephanie, Jackie, Bridget Owen and Clark
welcomed Bill to the Jackie M offices. Stephanie revealed she had two more
installments about Forrester Creations for Bill to publish. He then
described how he propositioned Donna when she ordered him to leave Forrester
Creations alone but she didn't take the bait. Nick seemed appalled by Bill's
methods but kept quiet. Stephanie received an urgent call from Taylor and
dashed away. While touring Jackie M, Bill flirted shamelessly with Bridget
and Jackie, ticking off Owen. After Bill left, Nick warned Owen to treat
Bridget with care. Owen countered that Nick needs to stop worrying about his
Brooke assured Ridge that Rick and Steffy were going to keep their distance
from each other. Brooke praised Rick's tribute to Phoebe as "beautiful"
while Ridge called it "vile." Brooke refused to see her son as evil but
Ridge raged, "Your son is still manipulating you." He demanded that Brooke
promise that she will do everything in her power to prevent Rick and Steffy
from getting back together. Brooke agreed but commented that Ridge seemed to
be inferring that their marriage is over.
Stephanie met with Taylor who confessed that she blabbed to Ridge that he
wasn't legally married to Brooke. Taylor claimed she couldn't hold back any
longer because Ridge is so disillusioned with Brooke. Stephanie later met
with Ridge and he complained about her not telling him that he's still
single. Stephanie cautioned that the only way the craziness with Rick and
Steffy will stop if he married Taylor and presented a united front.
Nick couldn't stop thinking of his recent kiss with Bridget. She stormed in
and objected to him talking to Owen. He confessed that he couldn't ignore
what he feels for her. Bridget ordered him to leave her alone.
Brooke encountered Taylor and Brooke accused the shrink of using Rick and
Steffy to make a play for Ridge. Brooke insisted that Rick is no longer an
issue for her and Ridge. Taylor warned that when "you blow it," she'll be
there to pick up the pieces with Ridge.
Donna told Eric that she visited Bill and Eric wanted to know what they
spoke about. Donna dodged that questions by saying that they need to keep
out of Bill's way. Donna was annoyed when Eric called Bill and invited him
to dinner at the house. Bill accepted as he smugly looked at Stephanie's
latest articles.
Just as Katie descended the stairs, Nick stashed away his and Bridget's
wedding photo that he was staring at. After he left, Katie came across the
picture so she called Brooke over. Big sis was surprised when Katie
announced that she's leaving Nick. Katie explained that he isn't over his ex
and Bridget should have her life back if she wants it. After Brooke left,
Katie removed her engagement ring and began to write a letter to Nick.
Bridget left a letter of resignation on Nick's desk and she was surprised
when he suddenly appeared. He was taken aback that she is quitting and she
insisted it was time for her to move on. She then raged at him for kissing
her and that she needs to get over him. Nick confessed that he couldn't stop
thinking about what he had with Bridget but she suggested that, after two
marriages, they're just not meant to be together. Nock begged for another
chance but Owen interrupted them to take Bridget on their date. She gave
Nick a longing look then left with Owen. Jackie entered and observed her
son's sour mood. He got emotional as he admitted that he still loves
Bridget. "Help me get her back where she belongs," Nick asked his mom.
Donna was apparently nervous as she waited for Bill to show up for dinner.
Eric interrupted her distraction just as Bill arrived. They all started with
sipping champagne but the mood darkened when Bill presented an advance copy
of Eye On Fashion that featured a picture of Eric with the headline, "The
Downfall Of Forrester Creations." Eric was furious but Bill said he would
pull the issue if he got what he wanted. Bill then offered Eric $100 million
to buy Forrester. Bill admitted that the Logan girls were weakening
Forrester. Eric groused that Bill was no one 10 years ago until his father
gave him a chance. Bill pointed out that he was the one that built Spencer
Publications into the empire it is today. Eric ordered Bill to leave then
got called away for a business call. Alone with Donna, Bill reminded that
she could save Forrester Creations if she slept with him.
Jackie urged Nick to go after Bridget before she gets "in over her head" with
Owen. "I know I can make her happy," Nick insisted and wanted to find
Bridget as soon as possible. He and Jackie headed to Owen's place and on the
way she slipped about Owen being a wonderful lover. Nick asked how she would
know and Jackie covered by claiming it was just an assumption.
A depressed Katie was downing martinis at Caf Russe when Bill encountered
her. Thoroughly soused, she explained how she's a homewrecker and tried to
order another drink but the bartender cut her off. Bill offered to drive
Katie home and she said she really didn't have anywhere to go to now. She
then remembered she can bunk at her sister's and Bill said they would have
to go back to his hotel room so he can get his car keys. Once they got
there, Katie attacked his mini bar but Bill thought coffee was a better
option. She started to come on to him, then passed out on his bed. When Bill
couldn't rouse Katie, he looked down on her, contemplating his next move.
At Owen's place, he and Bridget started making out but she couldn't stop
thinking about Nick. She pulled away and explained how Nick kissed her but
insisted she wanted to be with Owen. They went resumed kissing but she got
emotional again. "I need you to make love to me," she pleaded with Owen, who
was more than willing to oblige. Things got back to being hot and heavy but
she couldn't block Nick out of her thoughts. "I can't do this," she
confessed and he admitted that he's hung up on someone else as well. Nick
stormed in and seeing them half naked, assumed he was too late. Bridget
admitted she couldn't stop thinking about Nick and they started kissing.
Jackie came in and asked Owen if he had sex with Bridget and he said they
couldn't follow through. Jackie was happy and started to passionately kiss
Owen. Nick saw them and asked his mother what's going on. She giggled that
he wasn't the only one to find someone special.
Nick and Bridget walked in on Jackie and Owen in a clinch. "Couldn't you
have taken up something like knitting or cards, something that grandmothers
do?" spat a disgusted Nick. Go home with Bridget, purred Jackie. Nick took
Mom's advice and while he was upstairs looking for Katie, Bridget found the
goodbye note Katie had left for him. "She's not coming back," Nick told
Bridget after he read it. "She knows that a life with you is what I wanted."
She loves him but can't trust him, sighed Bridget. "I'm so sorry I hurt you
so badly," said Nick, and promised to show her that he could be faithful.
"You know that no one loves you the way I do," Nick said, pulling Bridget
into an embrace. There will be days she'll need proof, warned Bridget. He'd
give her whatever she needed, replied Nick. They kissed, and Nick carried
her upstairs. "Don't break my heart again," said Bridget, before they did
what soap couples do in front of fireplaces.
Stephanie showed up at Eric's house to gloat. She's letting Bill Spencer
drive nails in Forrester's coffin, accused a livid Eric, who'd just gotten
word that two big boutiques wouldn't be carrying the fall line. Stephanie
was embarrassing herself with her blogs and letting Bill steal her
children's legacy, spat Eric.
At his place, Bill placed a blanket over a conked-out Katie. A woman stopped
by to drop off the purse Katie had left at Caf Russe. Bill retrieved
Katie's wallet, found Katie's driver's license and realized who was passed
out in his bed. A bemused Bill called Donna from Katie's phone, and told her
to get over there. Donna arrived to wake up her soused sister. Bill had been
a total gentleman, slurred Katie when Donna accused Bill of getting her
drunk. Katie threw up in the bathroom and soiled her shirt. As Donna got
ready to take her shirt off to give to Katie, Bill sat down to watch. She'd
just change in the bathroom, said Donna, but found it locked. Bill handed
her something else to give Katie to wear. Why did she marry Eric? asked
Bill. Because she loves him, answered Donna. He loves the Mona Lisa and
that's old too, smirked Bill. Donna thanked Bill for taking care of Katie.
When Bill leaned in to kiss Donna, she pulled away ... but not right away.

According to sheriff's spokesman Les Garcia, Nicholas Vance Perez was caught in Manteca without resistance, but no additional information was available about how he was captured.
Perez left the honor farm on the 900 block of West Mathews Road in French Camp at about 2 a.m. July 22, Garcia said.
He was a worker in the jail kitchen and was seen before his escape wearing white clothing to signify that assignment, with "jail" marked on his pants and shirt. It was not disclosed if Perez was still wearing his jail issued clothing at the time of his arrest Thursday.
Garcia didn't know how Perez had escaped the minimum security facility. He was at the county jail to serve time for vehicle theft, burglary and theft. He was scheduled for release Sept. 30.
Inmates at the honor farm undergo an extensive process to see if they meet the facility's criteria, including the charges they face and their behavior, Garcia said. The majority of honor farm inmates work outside the facility each day, including on road crews that pick up trash along the freeway, on maintenance crews for the jail property and as workers at area landfills.
Once inside the honor farm, inmates are allowed to roam the barracks and exercise areas freely, Garcia said. Inmates housed in the main jail are locked inside cells overnight.
Garcia said escapes from the honor farm aren't new and often involve inmates who feel they need to take care of something in their personal lives. He said the majority turn themselves in to authorities.

By Jaclyn Shambaugh
Instructor Mike Brown, while watching the muzzleloader team from North Carolina accept its fourth-place award at the National 4-H Shooting Sports Invitational, decided to celebrate his team's achievement as loudly as possible.
"I was totally 'that guy ringing the cowbell,' " Brown said.
The state team - comprised of Cumberland County teens Jordan Shackelford, Jake and David Brown, who are Mike's sons, and Henderson County resident Rachel Warren - finished fourth at the four-day event held in Grand Island, Neb., on June 17-22.
Brown indeed sounded a cowbell after the announcement of every North Carolina shooter's name, ringing in what he hopes is a new era of excellence for North Carolina's 4-H Shooting Sports program.
The shooters qualified for the event in September 2011 at the state competition in Ellerbe. The Cumberland County team earned another accomplishment this September when shooter Drayton Hancock joined Jake, David and Jordan to take first place at the 2012 state tournament.
4-H rules, in an effort to encourage skill diversification, prevent shooters from competing in the same discipline more than once at the national level. While Jake, David and Jordan won't return to nationals as muzzleloader marksmen, Drayton has earned a spot on the state team.
North Carolina rounded out a top four at nationals that featured perennial powerhouses Missouri, Texas and Louisiana. Texas and Missouri have finished one and two, but not necessarily in that order, the last three years, while the kids from N.C. boasted their best finish to date.
"When our team went across the stage, they read it like it was a question," Mike Brown said. " 'North Carolina?' "
The event coordinators might have voiced surprise at North Carolina's finish, but Brown said he had high expectations for the team.
"I knew going in we were a top-five team," the instructor said.
While this was the shooters' first trip to nationals for muzzleloading, David Brown had been in 2010 to compete in shotgun shooting.
"I knew what to expect, so I could share that with my brother and our two teammates from North Carolina," David said. "Shotgun is definitely my event, but I think being more mature and being able to practice more before muzzleloading helped. It made me wish I had waited to go for shotgun."
Mike Brown said the N.C. competitors showed an attention to detail and consistency that are the hallmarks of quality muzzleloader shooters, despite the program's youth.
Brown started working with 4-H about six years ago, after a friend game him his first black powder gun. After receiving training himself through 4-H, Brown began to instruct.
"We shot for a couple years locally here before we started competing at state," Brown said. "We've placed pretty consistently over the last four years, as a team, in first and second place, and as individuals anywhere from fourth place to first place."
Brown says learning the craft of muzzleloading is unique among firearms training.
"The attention to detail is so much greater than shooting a shotgun or even shooting a rifle," he said. "With shooting a shotgun, it's acquire the target quickly, pull the trigger and follow through. With shooting a rifle, you're talking about your mechanics, your breathing, your sight picture, your trigger squeeze.
"With powder shooting, you have to have all that, but additionally, loading the gun, you have to measure the powder exactly the same every time. You have to place the patch on the ball on the muzzle exactly the same every time. It's not just the shooting portion."
David said that the intricacies of muzzleloading can be off-putting for some people.
"A lot of people don't pick it up because they think it takes too much time to load," David said. "But the more you practice it, the better you get at handling it. And you have to clean your gun to keep it consistent for every shot."
Mike Brown said that North Carolina's success at the national level points to an upswing for the local shooting sports.
"Muzzleloading is a very young sport to Cumberland County 4-H," Brown said. "We went out and competed at the highest level against other 4-H programs that are very mature. They have these guys shooting black powder guns for three or four years before they go to the national level. To be able to compete with them is a major feat for us."
It's a feat that Brown hopes Cumberland County will be able to duplicate many times over. But just in case it doesn't, Brown is sure the team left a lasting impression at the awards ceremony.
"I wanted to make sure that our presence was felt not only on stage, but out in the audience as well," Brown said. "So I had the cowbell, and every time we had someone walk across the stage, it was like, 'There's North Carolina again.' "

Prints, Drawings, and Photographs Self-Portrait (recto and verso) c. 1883 Antonio Mancini, Italian, 1852 - 1930 Pastel heightened with white opaque watercolor on paper Currently not on view 2004-108-14a,b Vance N. Jordan Collection, 2004 |
LabelHere the artist presents himself in an expressionless, frontal pose that mimics the attitude of a Byzantine icon. On his head is a yellow straw hat whose rounded outline suggests a halo, creating a self-image that seems to alternate between country bumpkin and saint. Mancini repeated this halo device in at least one other self-portrait and playfully fitted his Circus Boy of 1872 with a brass ring "halo" as well. |

bought both gold and silver
First I bought the silver... loved it so much I also bought the gold. Easy to wear, doesn't ever catch on anything..
September 4, 2013
Awesome for work and night out!
Versatile and great piece that can be taken from day to night. Love it and fits any wrist size.
June 29, 2013
Great for larger wrists, too.
I have larger wrists due to a larger bone structure (most round bracelets that are a fixed circumference don't fit, or, if they do, they pinch the skin) and this is one of my favorites. It does fit more like a watchband, but I like that about it. I don't think it would look as nice if it were loose and dangling, so I appreciate that it fits close to the skin, without pinching. I get so many compliments whenever I wear this, because it's shiny, but classy, and unlike anything else I've seen out there. This is a permanent piece in my collection, suitable for work and for going out.
April 21, 2013
Love it!
This bracelet is fantastic. My wrist is small and it fits great. It can be worn on the dull or shiny side. Lots of compliments on it! Worth buying for sure. Measures almost 1 inch wide. Very comfortable also.
October 11, 2012
Great bracelet
I have small wrists and most bracelets don't look right. I like the fit of this one. I have worn it regular and inside out and both look great and I have gotten compliments on it!
April 4, 2012
it's okay
The bracelet is okay. It's too much like a watchband for me. It's not pretty at all. It's only about 3/4 an inch wide; from the photo, I had hoped for something maybe 2 inches wide. Back to the store it goes.
March 26, 2012
Everyday Bracelet
I've worn this bracelet twice with different outfits and have received compliments both times. It's nice for a smaller wrist.

Anabolic Steroid Abuse
Topic Overview
What are anabolic steroids?
Anabolic steroids are drugs such as testosterone or substances that work like testosterone. Doctors prescribe them to treat problems such as delayed puberty and other medical problems that cause the body to make very low amounts of testosterone. Steroids make muscles bigger and bones stronger. They also may cause puberty to start and can help some boys who have a genetic disorder to grow more normally.
Common anabolic steroid medicines include fluoxymesterone (such as Halotestin) and nandrolone (such as Durabolin). In the United States, you need a prescription to get any anabolic steroid. Illegal anabolic steroids are those that people get without a doctor's prescription.
Some people take legal dietary supplements that have certain steroid hormones also made by the human body. One such drug is dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). The body can turn DHEA into other steroid hormones, including testosterone, estrogen , and cortisol . People use it to try to make their muscles bigger. Whether such products actually work has not been proved. But if you take them in large amounts, they can cause the same side effects as anabolic steroids.
Why do some people abuse anabolic steroids?
Some adults and teens use illegal anabolic steroids to lower body fat, get bigger muscles, and increase strength. They use the drugs because they are seeking to improve how well they play sports or how they look.
The dose of illegal anabolic steroids is 10 to 100 times higher than the dose a doctor prescribes for medical problems. People often use more than one of these illegal drugs at the same time. This is called stacking. Or they may take the drugs in a cycle from no drug to a high dose over a period of weeks to months. This is called pyramiding.
Anabolic steroids may be taken as a pill, as a shot into a muscle, or as a gel or cream rubbed on the skin.
What problems can abusing anabolic steroids cause?
Anabolic steroids can cause serious side effects. Some of these effects can be permanent.
- In men, anabolic steroids can:
- Reduce sperm count.
- Shrink the testicles.
- Cause you not to be able to father children.
- Enlarge the breasts.
- In women, anabolic steroids can:
- Increase body hair.
- Make skin rough.
- Decrease breast size.
- Enlarge the clitoris.
- Deepen the voice.
- In both men and women, anabolic steroids can
- Bone growth to stop before it is complete in a teen. The teen may not reach his or her full adult height.
- A heart attack or stroke, even in a very young person.
- High blood pressure.
- Higher levels of bad cholesterol ( LDL ) and lower levels of good cholesterol ( HDL ).
- Liver disease and possibly liver cancer. The chance of these problems is higher when steroids are taken as a pill.
- Oily skin and acne.
- Male-pattern hair loss.
- Skin infections that can become severe if the drug was tainted with bacteria.
- Irritability, rage, uncontrolled high energy (mania), or false beliefs (delusions).
People who abuse anabolic steroids can have withdrawal symptoms when they stop taking them. Symptoms include having mood swings, being extremely tired, having no desire to eat, and craving steroids.
How is anabolic steroid abuse diagnosed?
A doctor can often spot a person who is abusing anabolic steroids when that person walks through the door. This is because the medicine makes muscles unusually large. Your doctor may also ask questions about your fitness activities and what kinds of dietary supplements and other substances you use. The doctor may do a physical exam and order urine and blood tests.
How is it treated?
Treatment for abuse of anabolic steroids has not been studied much. Doctors usually advise:
- Treatment in a program that includes medicines for withdrawal symptoms and other health problems.
- Treatment in a hospital, if withdrawal symptoms are severe.
- Individual or family counseling.

St. Cupcake Offers Bespoke Mail Order Cupcakes - Yum!
Sometimes things that qualify as a luxury item are big and obvious; they are encrusted with diamonds, have a well known name and an expensive price tag. Other times luxury can be defined as something small that you do for yourself or a friend. A small Portland, Oregon bakery called St. Cupcake falls into this category of small personal luxuries.
This local bakery has started an online delivery service for their incredibly popular cupcakes. The luxury for the consumer lies both in the incredible wide range of flavor choices and in the fact that you can have home baked taste delivered to your door without lifting a finger. The inspiration for the mail order cupcake business came to owner Jami Curl after customers themselves mentioned trying to ship her delicious baked goodies to friends to taste. Jami thought that "we could develop some packaging and a technique that would allow us to ship the cupcakes so they arrive on the recipient's door step fresh and perfect."
Hence the wonderful and unique online cupcake builder was born. Customers can choose their cake flavors, their icings and their sprinkle colors creating a truly bespoke cupcake. Often this allows for even greater freedom as customers have come up with unique combinations never anticipated by the owners and not sold in the bakery. The cupcakes come in three possible package combinations of 3, 6 or 12 cupcakes. Flavors of cupcakes include the basic vanilla and chocolate as well as more esoteric flavors such as pumpkin spice, carrot and vanilla toffee. A true west coast shop there are even vegan selections for those with dietary restrictions. The buttercream frosting selections include unusual flavors such as mint and fudge while the sprinkle choices vary from standard jimmies to rainbow nonpareil and toasted coconut. It seems that the shopping ends up being as much fun as the receiving.
The cupcakes arrive in an adorable kit with an icing wand and decorating tips. A perfect gift idea for a birthday or even to send to your own family when you are too busy to make home made treats for your children. A simple little luxury ranging in price from $10.00 for three cupcakes to $35.00 for a package of twelve.

LUSH thrives on creativity and we love inventing new things. Our product inventors are always busy in their labs perfecting recipes and experimenting with new ingredients. Fortunately for us, this means lots of new products to try! Unfortunately, this means we need to discontinue older products from time to time in order to make room in our shops for fresh new LUSH creations.
Here is a list of our current products slated to disappear from our shelves (but never from our hearts).

In June, as the family's fortunes continued to fail, the Make a Wish Foundation treated them to a trip to Disney World.
But after just four hours there, Logan was back in the hospital.
Eight days of torture ensued, as he had developed an infection and eventually needed to be flown home to Jeannette, about 40 minutes from Pittsburgh.
Finally, on July 26, doctors gave Logan one to two weeks to live.
Not giving up
But that doesn't mean Logan's parents are giving up.
"We're just blessed everyday that he's here with us," Stevenson said Saturday, after the ceremony. "We're not going to stop fighting. We have nothing to lose.
"I'm going to try until God says otherwise."

i love the game its pretty awsome, i love the lil stories some of the songs have...
Not to motivated to start over YET!
I confess I bought Lego Rockband as a track-pack and have never played it through. I've even given it as a gift ...hmmm...now I'm wondering what I've been missing... gonna have to play it. This should be fun!
you totally should its a awsome game i love it, its like rockband 2 but better. its funny i first started playing rockband 2 i kept saying i need a ****** mode (had a hard time at easy at first) and lego rockband had a super easy lvl hahahahaha. i play on medium now tho. i can 4 start almost any song and i am working on 5 staring em but not much luck so far. but the story so far is good and fun.
Not to motivated to start over YET!
Lego:RB had the best story mode and it was fun customizing all the band-related stuff. I was sincerely hoping some of the band-centric elements would port over to RB3, but very little did.
AsianSteev: if you can read this, put more Ska songs on the RBN! Please?
Gamertag: Demitri Theodus
Lego: Rock Band was a game I really enjoyed (and still do).
It never took itself too seriously, it had a great tracklist that mixed legitimate indie/alternative/classic rock songs with a great selection of "guilty pleasure" tracks, and had the best wacky story ever (Lego Queen gets abducted by aliens; Lego rock band has to save the day?).
Also, Lego Spinal Tap. As soon as I saw that, my love for the game basically tripled.
I don't think any of the "kids" in our family have played through it either....I'm feeling a Lego Rockband party coming on.....hmmm.
it's got more gameplay than RB3 that's for sure, I too loved it.

One way to deal with fractional numbers is to use the */ operator. It has the effect ofmultiplying a value by a whole number and a fraction. This operator places the wholenumber portion in the upper byte, multiplies the fractional part by 256 and places theresult in the lower byte.For example, if multiplying value with 1.8, using the */ would mean 0.8 * 256 = 204.8 =205 and therefore:Upper byte : 01Lower byte : CD
so you use it if multiplying with floats basically?
