Following directly on from the completion of the European Commission's State Aid Action Plan, this thorough guide provides a concise review of the current state aid policy of the European Community. Certain kinds of state aid are no longer allowed, some other kinds are now possible, while certain types and amounts of aid are now subject to more detailed and rigorous assessment. Increasingly, Member States tend to shift emphasis from supporting individual companies or sectors, towards pursuing horizontal policy objectives.
The book not only explains the principles on which European state aid policy is based and how it is applied in practice, but also highlights recent legislation adopted with the ultimate aim of directing Member States towards meeting the Lisbon objectives and responding to successive European Council calls for 'less and better targeted aid'. The authors identify the most recent sources of EC law on state aid, and analyse the latest landmark European Commission decisions and judgements of EU Courts. They also offer useful guidance on how to design state aid measures.
Among the many specific topics covered are the following:
• the balancing test for compatibility with the common market;
• exceptions for transport and 'services of general economic interest';
• the Commission's supervisory control; and
• state aid monitoring procedures.
Numerous revealing case studies are presented, and useful appendices offer legislative texts and insights into defined areas of practice such as de minimise aid, the SME definition, risk capital for SMEs, aid for research and development and innovation, aid for rescue and restructuring, regional aid, or finally aid for agricultural, environmental or transport purposes.
The guide has developed from seminars on EC state aid law and policy organised during the past decade by the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA). In line with those seminars, this book will be of great practical value for policymakers and practitioners managing state aid in the public administrations of the EC Member States and its partner countries.

Myron B. Pitts
The nature of the news business is that the teenagers who make news are often those who get into major trouble.
But the vast majority of teens are the other kind - who color inside the lines and grow into grownups who do likewise.
Then there are the young folks who excel. They make you feel good about the country's prospects, and you marvel at their ideas and dreams.
In any given year, I run into several such teens, especially at an annual civic oration contest I judge at Seventy-First Classical Middle School.
It's a Modern Woodmen of America contest, and this year's topic was A Person Who Has Overcome. The event was held Tuesday morning in the school's media center.
The students could choose people they know, national figures or people from history. The person was to be someone who overcame a significant life obstacle.
The students sat in chairs arranged in a semicircle, waiting patiently to speak. If there is such a thing as controlled nervousness, or poised jitters, that's what they showed. Off to one side were parents with the same expressions.
Principal Patricia Ramos welcomed the students; Barbara Myers, the contest coordinator, did the introductions and went over the rules, then we were off. The students got three to five minutes to speak, and this year every one of them stayed within that range (they are docked penalty points for going under or over time).
My fellow judges were Shelley Barnhill, a federal probation officer, and Dianne Bryan, a longtime substitute teacher at Seventy-First Classical. We had a tough time choosing a winner this year.
In the end, Rikita Shamdasani won with her touching and very detailed story of her older sister, who had battled a childhood brain tumor and went on to counsel and help other kids stricken with similar conditions. Our second-place winner, Rebecca Mitchell, also had a personal story to tell about her own sister who excelled in academics and life despite an early diagnosis of lupus. These two students will go on to compete at the district level.
Third place went to Anne Lheem, who spoke of the sacrifice of Aung San Suu Kyi, who was imprisoned after fighting for reforms in repressive Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Rounding out the list of competitors, who all won at the classroom level: Alexis Breitenfeld, Malaysia Brooks, Hahn Lheem, David Li, Jenna Nabors, Morgan O'Neal, Yaw Sarpon, Dev Sashidhar, Preeya Shaw and Alicia Wang.
Listening to the speeches, I was happy to find that baseball pioneer Jackie Robinson and Helen Keller, of "The Miracle Worker" fame, are still celebrated.
I'm also interested to see who the kids adopt as their new heroes, who this year included Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Dr. Ben Carson, a top neurosurgeon who overcame abject poverty.
Several students chose family members as their role models.
Not surprising, since the distinct stamp of a strong family came through in their words and confidence.

Bringing Hampshire's Roman history to life - County Council hosts inaugural Dudley Keep Memorial Lecture
Monday, 18 March 2013
The secrets of ancient life unearthed during excavations at the former Roman town at Silchester near Basingstoke have been the subject of the inaugural Dudley Keep Memorial Lecture.
Before his death in 2009, Dudley Keep represented the Basingstoke East Division on Hampshire County Council for many years, and was a past Chairman of the Council, as well as chairing the Planning and Transport Committee.
To commemorate his contributions to the County of Hampshire, and keen interest in the historic Silchester Roman Town, a memorial lecture was held in Winchester's Great Hall on Thursday 14 March, delivered by Professor Mike Fulford of Reading University.
Silchester Roman Town was bought by Hampshire County Council in 1979 and since 1997 it has been the subject of extensive archaeological research by the University of Reading's Department of Archaeology and led by Professor Mike Fulford, involving a programme of excavations at key locations during the summer months. Members of the public are welcome to visit the site or even to take part through the field school programme.
Silchester is the best preserved Iron Age and Roman town in Britain. The site is remarkable because, unlike most large Roman towns in Britain, it was completely abandoned. The defensive walls still survive, in places more than four metres high, but within the walls there seems, at first, to be nothing but fields, a church and a single house, once a farm.
The lecture will illustrate the latest results of the University of Reading's Silchester Town Life Project and indicate why the town is so important for our knowledge and understanding of late Iron Age and Roman Britain and of the beginnings of urban life in this country.
Hampshire County Council Executive Member for Culture and Recreation, Councillor Keith Chapman said: "Dudley Keep's knowledge of Hampshire was truly enormous and he used it to great effect as both a County Councillor and Borough Councillor. The Memorial Lecture is not only in memory of Dudley Keep, but also to recognise the work by Hampshire County Council to preserve ancient monuments and sites within Hampshire.
"We would like to thank Professor Mike Fulford for delivering this first lecture on 'Silchester Roman Town', and providing a fascinating insight into a subject very close to Dudley's heart."

Melbourne Gentlemen's Race
Words: Christopher Stack | Photos: Steven Caddy and Jim Hsu
A musette, a route card and the best of luck. The rest is up to you; the training, the day's food and water, and finding your way back if you happen to stray off course. Welcome to the Rapha Gentlemen's Race, Melbourne, Australia 2013.
The day's menu read a little like this:
- 22 teams of six riders (each made up of men and women)
- 3,900 meters of vertical gain
- 15km of gravel
- And on the specials board: Lake Mountain and the gravel ascent of the rear of Mt. Donna Buang
Much like when I find myself at a high-end restaurant, it all looks good on the menu but you never really know what you're getting until its sitting in front of you. Set roughly an hour's drive from Melbourne's CBD, in the sleepy town of Gladysdale, the day's ride would take us through the neighbouring Murrindindi and Yarra Ranges Shires, both of which were ravaged by the fatal 'Black Saturday' bushfires of 2009; the highest ever loss of life from bushfires in Australia's history. Throughout the day we would see the effects of those fires and the countryside's progress in returning itself back to life.
The beauty of a Rapha Gentlemen's Race is the variety of the field it attracts, all passionate lovers of the sport that brings us together. It doesn't matter if you've ridden the Giro d'Italia, or are riding 150km for the first time, the six-person team format puts all riders on a level playing field. For some, this would be their longest ride to date and the most climbing they had ever done. Others have arrived fresh off a 1,000km week traversing Victoria's famed '7 Peaks', some of which we would revisit today.
In the true spirit of the Gentlemen's Race, the atmosphere on arrival was jovial. Beautiful bikes, plenty of coffee and the smell of embro wafting through the air. There is no prize money up for grabs at the Gentlemen's Race, just beer and respect. Everybody wants to be here for the same reason, to ride their bikes through beautiful countryside they would have otherwise never ridden.
As the riders trickled out according to their team handicap and the road quickly gained elevation, the excitement of the start soon gave way to the reality of the challenge. Meandering through the lumpy countryside, today's game would pan out much like the tortoise and the hare. Those that knew what lay ahead proceeded with vigilance. Those that didn't soon found out. I think it was best not to know, ignorance is bliss after all.
The first major obstacle for the day was climbing Lake Mountain, which stands an impressive 1,480 meters above sea level. From nearby Marysville it's a pleasant 22km climb. Today, however, we would approach from the Warburton side, which adds an 18km appetiser by the name of Reefton Spur. Join the two bits up and you have a mind-blowing 40km climb. The enduring effects of the bushfires makes for stunning, if at times eerie, surrounds as you gradually climb toward the ski resort of Lake Mountain.
Given the aim of race is to finish with all six riders, a 40km climb can make or break your day. With this is mind, most teams tapped out a steady pace, with those in the hunt for overall honours flying past other teams with military-type precision and formation. Those less encumbered by the clock took the time to look around and, savouring the surrounding scenery, were the main beneficiaries of the day.
The 'moonscape' at the summit of Lake Mountain was equally spectacular but it paid not to hang around as the ferocious wind ripped through sweat-soaked undershirts. From here, it was head down for the rewarding fast descent into Marysville, practically the only town this unsupported race would pass through, and which ensured teams were happy to stop for a bite, a coffee and the chance to compare speeds they hit on the run into town. After 90km and 2,100m of climbing, it was a well-earned break.
If only we knew what lay ahead. Riders were content spinning the legs out as the course offered some brief respite. Brief indeed. As the parcours swung left, the road narrowed and it felt like the trees grew taller. We were entering cycling nirvana, the famed Acheron Way. No cars to speak of, single-laneway roads as stands of trees resembling cathedrals towered over us. As the gradient sneakily increased, the surface became rougher and eventually turned to gravel. The social banter soon turned to silence, which then turned to panting. If you picked your line between the ruts and mud you could hold your speed and not worry too much about braking. The dirt was over all too soon. As the riders reached the checkpoint where the road once again became sealed, the adrenalin from the gravel propelled the riders onward and upward, toward the summit of Mt. Donna Buang.
On the home run, riders embraced the flowing descent down the sealed side of the mountain, conserving what if anything, they had left for the final climb of the day. By this stage most teams were now in damage limitation-mode, scratching their way toward the finish line.
Teams limped home in dribs and drabs but with a beer in the hand even before unclipping, the pain of the day was soon forgotten. Teams gathered around and swapped stories. Tales of punctures, of how magic the riding felt, stories of mateship and how stunning the scenery was. As the numbers grew, the cheers for each newly arrived team became louder and louder.
By far the most brutal Rapha Gentlemen's Race in Australia thus far, most riders had, at some point on the road, questioned why they were doing this to themselves. Within minutes of crossing the line, however, most wanted to know details of the next one.

The doctor convicted in Michael Jackson's death serenaded CNN's Anderson Cooper with a song that he said "tells my story."
Dr. Conrad Murray's unexpected rendition of Nat King Cole's "The little boy that Santa Claus forgot" came during one of two jailhouse interviews he granted to CNN: one recorded Friday with Don Lemon and the second broadcast live with Anderson Cooper on Tuesday evening.
The interviews, his first with a journalist since he was convicted in November 2011 of involuntary manslaughter, come as the trial begins in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jackson's children and mother accusing concert promoter AEG Live of the negligent hiring of Murray.
Along with the song, Murray talked about his role in the death of Michael Jackson, who the coroner ruled died from a lethal combination of sedatives and the surgical anesthetic propofol.
"My entire approach may not have been an orthodox approach, but my intentions were good," Murray told Cooper about his use of propofol to treat Jackson's insomnia as he prepared for comeback concerts.
Murray told Lemon he is a scapegoat who had the bad luck of being "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Jackson died on the morning of June 25, 2009, after a long, sleepless night in which Murray used sedatives and propofol to treat his insomnia, according to court testimony in the doctor's criminal trial. It was a practice that Murray had followed most nights in the previous month and other doctors had done for Jackson in past years.
Murray: MIchael had his own propofol stash
"Yes, indeed, I did order propofol to his home, but I was not the one that brought propofol into his home," Murray told Cooper. "I met him at his own stash. I did not agree with Michael, but Michael felt that it was not an issue because he had been exposed to it for years and he knew exactly how things worked. And given the situation at the time, it was my approach to try to get him off of it, but Michael Jackson was not the kind of person you can just say 'Put it down' and he's going to do that."
Murray said he succeeded in eliminating propofol from his insomnia treatment three days before Jackson's death.
"I mention that I explained to Michael that this is an artificial way of considering sleep. It was basically sedation, minimal sedation," he said.
Murray: Demerol, not propofol, is to blame
But there were other issues in play the day Jackson died, Murray said. "I didn't know he was an addict. He was going to Dr. Klein's office and being loaded up with humongous levels of Demerol. Basically this was causing his insomnia because that's a huge side effect."
The appeal of his conviction filed last week argued that the judge erred by not allowing the defense to call Dr. Arnold Klein, a dermatologist Jackson visited five times in the month he died.
Murray: There was no drip
The morning Jackson died, he was given an injection, not a drip of propofol, Murray said to Cooper.
"Around 10:40 that day, after he really begged and cried and he looked so -- it was such a painful condition to see this man that was about to lose an entire potential, his fortune and empire, I agreed to give him a 25 milligram slow injection. That was it."
He watched him sleep for a half hour, but then it was safe to leave him alone, he said.
"He was sedated. He went to sleep and I watched him. I sat there for at least 30 minutes. I was able to speak on the phone, accept calls. He was fine. Everything was great. When I left his bedside, I was absolutely comfortable that propofol was no longer a factor. Done."
Phone records used as evidence in his criminal trial showed Murray busy at that time talking to several people, including girlfriends.
"Once I was comfortable and I moved away from his bedside, yes, I stayed in the adjacent chamber and I used the phone, et cetera, et cetera, but I was not worried about him. Actually, I was already packed and ready to go home."
But at some point around 11 a.m., Murray apparently realized his patient was not breathing.
Murray: Just happened to be there at the end
"I have taken the front of the storm for the entire life of a man 50 years old, who has had a monumentally destructive, painful life that has been so damaged it is of huge proportions," Murray told Lemon.
"It is in terms so humongous that for 50 years of pain that he (Jackson) has lived and I did not do him for all of that," Murray said. "All of the mishaps that he has encountered in life seem to trickle down on me and I think that is the definition of a scapegoat. Nobody has taken any responsibilities for anything that they may have done to this man but, because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, then here I am."

Watch your step - Loki x Blind!OCWatch your step - A Loki x Blind!OC drabbleSummary: Having lost her sight during the New York attack, a young girl deals with living in large city. Returning home one evening, she bumps into a stranger. She was walking down the sidewalk, moving her walking stick in front of her to ensure that she wasn't going to bump into something or fall into a hole (not that it would be the first time it happened, anyways). She sighed lightly, feeling the chill evening breeze play in her hair. Pulling her jacket closer, suddenly her walking stick slipped, causing her to stop dead in her tracks. Listening closely, she tried to figure where it had fallen before she turned to the right, took a step and instead of bending down, she bumped into something.Or...someone. From what she could sense, a tall person was standing right in front of her. She assumed she had bumped into their back because she felt movement as soon as she touched them as then she almost
Dave x Reader - Warm Up To MeYou slowly walked down the street, your left hand interlocked with the right of Dave Strider, your boyfriend. The two of you were heading home together, as you did everyday. Snow blew in the air around the two of you, and each wore light jackets - you were both pretty stubborn when it came to winter coats to face the winter weather. At least Dave was bright enough to wear a scarf, unlike someone who decided to leave their face exposed to the cold, wet snow.You squinted your eyes and let out a small achoo! and quickly shook it off. Dave chuckled and reached over, ruffling your [h/c] locks. Unable to hold it in, you sneezed a few more times. You rubbed your nose with your jacket sleeve, hoping it would sooth the burning pain.Dave glanced over at you. "You look cold, babe." He casually poked the tip of your nose.You frowned. "I am not cold," You muttered, trying to the sound of your chattering teeth. If he thought that you were cold, he would probably mak

The silence was not very comfortable either, now that she could feel everyone's eyes on her."Sorry." She squeaked before s
AtC: OverprotectiveThe familiar squeak of the hinge as you pushed open Rivaille's door made you smile as you entered, watching as your husband looked up from the window he was standing at. He glanced at you for a moment without greeting before turning back to whatever has captured his interest down in the courtyard below. A playful smile danced on your lips as you strode over to where your husband stood, hands folded behind his back. "I brought you lunch." You declared, setting a small basket of groceries down on the surface of his desk. Rivaille did not look up. You paused for a moment, observing him. His brow was furrowed in an expression of frustration or mild anger, you weren't sure. His mouth was a taut line, his eyes half lidded as he stared down at the courtyard."What are you looking at?" You asked, though you already knew. You wandered over to the window, placing a small peck on Rivaille's cheek before gazing down into the courtyard. A young lady, with dark feathery
By Sheer Chance (2P Romano x Seamstress!Reader)Everyone knew the name Lovino Vargas. If you didn't that meant you were living a rock for the last few years. He was a famous fashion designer and some of his creations were seen all over the country, Europe, Asia, everywhere. He did what he did with pride and he was unisex and some of his creations cost almost nothing but some of his designs cost an arm, leg, and even spleen. Sometimes he would charity auctions, even a rumor that he once walked into a high school arts and crafts fair saw a that the drama and arts department were selling their costumes and other creations to keep the art programs open. He bought them out, gave them back and donated it all back within the same day. Everyone thought he was either genius or mad. There were other rumors too, that he was very difficult to work with. There's was story where he made models run out of his studio in tears. One model regaled how she he told her that she wasn't "It". She was accepted everywhere and w
Broken Family (Parent!England x Child!Reader) It was a cold day in London. The ground was blanketed with white. A day before Christmas, on a dreary and lonely night. Shouting could be heard, muffled by thick walls of a house. It was Arthur Kirkland, and his unhappy spouse. She snapped at him, the poor soft man. He could not answer, he could not understand. Why was she so angry? Why did she scream? He understood now, what her shouting could mean. Arthur was not a rich man. He did not have extra to give. But, he had enough, for the three of them to live. For this, the wife shouted. She grew with greed. She wanted more than he could possibly feed. The argument ended, the woman ran away. She left the poor British man, and the lonely child to stay. The child wept, confused as can be. "Why did mommy leave?" they asked, as they tried to plea. How did the woman not see that she left such two precious people behind? How could a fool be so very blind? Arthur felt empty within. He held the

Cleaning and Sabotage Part 2 (Levi x Reader)"___, get back here!"You giggle –or at least try to, in between huffs and gasps. "You'll have to catch me first!" You shout back teasingly.Levi doesn't even bother to reply, but his pace quickens as he rapidly closes the distance between the two of you. Maybe it's just your imagination, but you can see his eyes gleaming like a predator who's found its prey, and his lips curled into a cold, calculating smile. You gulp, turning forward and pushing as much power as possible into your legs.Unfortunately, you couldn't keep this up forever. Your breath was coming out in heavy gasps now, and it felt like your lungs were going to explode. You could feel your muscles weakening, and your speed gradually slowing down. You figured you had at most a minute left before your legs would completely give out. And judging by the threats streaming from behind you, you did not want to get caught by him.Then, out of the corner of
The Aftermath (ZaDr) ~ Chapter 8 - Part 2Black boots clanked against the metal of the floor as the Irken paced around in his temporary room aboard the Massive, antenna were flattened in frustration. The green male couldn't comprehend the situation that had been revealed to him only a few days before; a secret that was meant to be known was lost under hidden files within the database that was on the ship.When questioned about the files, Zim coldly brushed aside Genn's probing and retreated to the sanctuary of the small room. Next to her obsessive infatuation with him, her constant questioning made it near impossible for the taller to deal with it.Letting out an angry sigh, the Irken flopped down onto the large cot, hands to face as he tried to clear his thoughts. Irken's had emotions, the Control Brains were corrupt, the empire know nothing about their true selves, and Zim wasn't a defect. That fact had black stalks twitching with a smug satisfaction that he, the mighty Zim, was not the lowest of the low- the most despised b

Site Review Please
Posted 28 August 2007 - 08:42 AM
About 2 years ago I was on the first page of google for keyphrase listed below. I am now about 320 possition. However, I have a no1 spot in Yahoo for the same key phrase. I need to try to rectify the google problem.
Before you ask, I am not concentrating on 1 keyphrase, I have hundereds throuout the site...
Site review for My Website
Is this site completed or under construction?
Complete but I am always looking to improve
If completed:
How long has the site been up?
The site has been live for 6 years
Do you have incoming links?
Yes, about 450
What keywords are you targeting?
I have many keyword phrases throughout the site but the main theme of the homepage is holidays in spain
Do you want your code reviewed for errors or improvements?
It would be interesting if the answers have a direct connection to google search
Who is your target audience? Think about:
Age Range
Income/Education level
Difficult one, I guess everbody goes on holiday at some time. I offer apartment and villa holiday ranging from 400 to 3000 so my target audience is varied.
The more you tell us about your target audience, the better. We don't know them- you do!
I have had customers with little money who book a cheap flight and rent an apartment from me.
I also have clients who dont seem to care what it costs and book a 6 bedroom villa and want a daily maid service. So I attempt to target all types.
Why is your site different from sites selling/offering similar info/goods/services? Why will someone want to do business you?
I try to keep the site business like and easy to navigate (you may dissagree, thats why I need a site review). I want my potential customers to feel safe when doing business with me.
How important is usability?
Important. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the subject
What is the purpose of the site? (inform, sell, online community, support B&M business, contact info only, etc)
The purpose of the site is to sell holidays
Do you want design suggestions?
Yes, that would be most helpfull. Along with "usability" these are two things that may keep potential customers on the site longer
Thank you in advance for your time...
Posted 28 August 2007 - 08:54 AM
Besides, things like - "Add your URL - Link Swop - Links 1 2 3" (in your footer) - is not a best way of getting high on the SERPs.
Posted 28 August 2007 - 04:43 PM
Any other comments?
Posted 28 August 2007 - 10:48 PM
First Impression: Look and Feel
The blue background is bright!! Tends to "cheapen" the look. Overall, the colors don't work so well.
Take a look at one of my favorite tools: http://www.degraeve.com/color-palette/ The sample color palette would be awesome for your site, or choose a photo you like and match the colors to it, like this
By using a sand or neutral colored background, you'll draw the eye to the bright pictures, not the edges of the page. Save the blue for the ocean views and the pools.
Invest in a professional header design. You can post a job on Scriptlance and find someone to put together a very professional looking header for $50-$150. I use them all the time.
Place a little whitespace between your bullet points. Right now they are an intimdating block of text that few will actually read.
Rewrite your headline. Very simple!
Holidays in Spain. Villa and apartment holidays in the Costa Blanca and Majorca Spain.
Enjoy Holidays in Spain! We offer Villa and Apartment Holidays in the Costa Blanca and Majorca Spain.
Also notice the capitalization-- all or nothing there.
September offers- make it stand out!! Make it bold, red and set apart from the text above it. People scan looking for specials, offers and discounts so make it easy for them to find. Also consider the full phrase " September Offers: Majorca Villas"
In the "Spain Holiday Sun" block, break up that text into paragraphs. Blocky and hard to read. Also pay close attention to punctuation- errors cause potential customers to lose trust.
Who can blame them? There is so much to see and do in Costa Blanca and Majorca!
The weather is perfect in Costa Blanca ...The Spanish are kind and friendly ... The beaches of Majorca are some of the best in Europe ... There are so many interesting places to visit in both Costa Blanca and Majorca ... The food is healthy ... Most important of all, a Spanish holiday is great FUN!
Same copy with minor edits and spacing, but much easier to read and understand. A few more keywords tossed in too...
Consider adding testimonials to the site as well- when it comes to vacations, people tend to put a lot of credibility in "travel reports" from other real travelers. "Hearing" a fellow traveler endorse a specific property, location or your great service is a real conversion boost.
You have article links in the footer of the home page... but nowhere else! Add a subnavigation menu with links to your articles throughout the site to boost those wonderful tips and tricks. And add some more, preferably original content from travellers to the area.
Overall the site is easy to navigate and use, it could just use a little polish.
Best of luck!
Posted 29 August 2007 - 08:30 AM
I have changed the background colour (colour behind my homepage), as you sugested. I had no idea so much of it was showing on other, larger monitors. As for the homepage colour, I am looking into this and I will produced some samples so I can compare the results.
I have changed the headline and the other block of text following your sugestion. Reads much better. I have altered the verticle white space between the bullit points. Your right, is easier to read.
Travel Reports: I have some great new, exclusive articles from a local juornalist I will add soon. But I take your point, they shold be accessable from the property pages along with the relevant articles. I am working on this.
Top Banner Design: Funny, when I started and I made the top banner I thought it was great!
Now I understand it´s a "Horses for Courses" thing, your good at it, or you aint!
Top Banner - Sitewide: I have used a similar company to Scriptlance and as I write I am recieving quotes for a new top banner.
Thanks again.
Any one else got feedback?
Posted 29 August 2007 - 10:29 AM
I'll concur with Scottie in regards to the color scheme and your header graphic.
Two points I'd like to make:
You didn't really specify who your target audience is, but it's worth noting that Americans use the term "vacation" rather than "holiday" to describe the services you're selling. An American looking for a place to stay in Spain through a search engine very well might not find your site. In a related vein, Americans look for "rental cars" instead of "car hires."
I like that you have photographs of all the available properties, but the stock photography on the rest of the site creates a few questions in my mind about legitimacy. The pictures of the happy couple on the front page and the topless lady on the about us page do little to create the impression that you are the go-to place for Spain vacations.... those pictures look like they could be used for a site about Jamaica or Hawaii. Show some local flavor!

Posted 08 October 2007 - 09:35 PM
Here's my review, I'm going to be hard on you so I hope it helps.
Background-color: This has been stated before but I would like to say it a gain lol. The background blue colour is way too much, in my opinion it has to go. You might want to use a white background.
Unity: It seems that your inner pages lose the main template and start using a new colour scheme. I'm not sure if this is just because you're working on your website atm, but I think its best to keep the same colours/template throughout the website. I felt that I had left the website when I started to go deep in the site -- this might be a problem in terms of usability.
Usability/Formatting: To be honest I had a lot of trouble reading you website for reasons like: too many columns, stuffed pages, etc. I'll explain this in a bit more detail just in case it's not clear. For example the home page seems to have tons of information and links but is confined to a very small amount of space. Give your text and images some breathing room. More space around your text will help because people will actually read what you're saying; I would put the three blocks of text in one column and give them lots of space. You might want to also rethink your navigation to give your body text more space. Another example is your "About Us" page; I find that you're using way too many boxes and columns. I get easily distracted because the text doesn't flow and there isn't enough space around your text. I suggest you put all the information in one column i.e. like this
What we offer...
text, text etc.
How it works...
text, text etc.
Next step...
text text etc.
The same applies to the rest of the page -- I'm not sure why your introduction is in two "blocks" or "chunks".
Heading: I think your heading "Enjoy Your Holidays in Spain! Villa and Apartment.." should be bigger and more prominent. Give it a different color maybe and make it stand out.
Top of page/Header: Another thing that might help with your conversions is if you put your telephone number at the top of the page. You might want to include it in the banner, use the white space on the right that isn't occupied. You can also put the "PayPal Accredited" button up there as well. I'm not really great at this stuff lol but I'm pretty sure making things like that stand out will help.
Navigation: I think you can do a better job with the navigation if you consider a drop-down menu. You can link to most of your articles using the menu and therefore give more space for body text on the home page. You can also make full use of the top of the page which isn't being used a lot atm. You can do a search on css drop down menus if you're interested -- the coding is clean and seo friendly.
Last minute rants: I'm not sure if you like it - but making a navigation system that links to everything on the website (if the website is not too big) helps a lot because visitors can get to any page from the homepage. For example your "company info" page is only linked to from the faq page as far as I can see. And once I start getting into the 2nd tier pages like the "Holiday Property Name Search page" I cant directly access the "about us" and "faq" pages. Your footer also disappears! On that page there is no way for anyone to see how to contact you. Maybe make a "contact us" page?
This review has been very sloppy and I apologize for that but it does seem your website needs some work I do love the content though and think that with a bit of work it can be a lot better. I can give you a more detailed review if you like but I'm running out of time and I'm not sure if you like what you're hearing

Posted 03 January 2008 - 04:33 AM
In my humble opinion you should enhance the layout, probably blend the colors but make it more ''rich'

Just a quick look at the home page I can see the title has lots of &. Usually, we recommend that key phrases in the title are separated by commas and should be concise otherwise you are diluting the effect the words in the title are having.
Instead of
Holidays in Spain - Villa & Apartment Holiday Rentals - Costa Blanc
may I suggest:
Spanish Holidays, Villas, Apartments Rentals, Costa Blanca
or some other variation of your most desired key phrases.
These keyphrases should also be reflected in the document structure of the site. Your main heading should be marked up as
 and then less important sub-headings should be marked up as
 and so on.
If the main heading reflects the keywords in the <title> tag this has a more powerful effect on how the page is ranked.

There is also a lot of Javascript and CSS. The CSS should be externalised to a separate file, the Javascript menu should be replaced by a CSS only menu.
The site also has a lot of redundant code which could be replaced by CSS for positioning elements. This will decrease the code to content ratio.
These are just a few of the on-page factors that I can see. I hope that it helps.

Re: Boba and Jango, Side-by-Side

Hah Ha H a hhha Good One!
Are you guys crazy?
Jango's suit looks way better.
You guys know in ROTC and in any type of military you have to keep your outfit clean and nice.
Of course Jango was raised a true Mandalorian, to have respect with his equipment and take care of it.
While Boba has that ugly outfit, it shows you how lazy boba is.
Also, why dont you guys like it when Jango shows off?
I think its awsome, and it shows you how much of a badass he is, nothing wrong with showing off i say.
If Boba was lazy, he would have just retired with all the money he had, and not even bothered to hunt further. He was loaded.
No. Boba was anything but lazy especially considering how diligently he works.
@ what ralin wrote about editing RotJ:
Wow...that would of made SW retarded...I can understand that people didnt like boba death, but killing the whole point of SW in the first place seems a little drastic dont you think?

Its not that he's lazy. His armour is in perfect working order, and he carefully repairs it when needed. He just keeps in the scraped paint and as many dents as he safely can to show his opponment (or merchandise) that no matter what anyone can throw at him, he will survive and come out on top.
I just say that Boba just doesn't really care about his apperance, just as long as he get's his cash.
Jango likes to stay shiny ( to impress the ladies)
Not that he was that popular with them...
ya why else would he clone himself instead of gett'n married and have'n a few kids.
i suppose becasue by having a kid normaly would have added infieor DNA to his Son.
(not that it helped much )

The productive Arkansas running attack will get its first big test when the Razorbacks visit stingy Rutgers on Saturday. Arkansas' tandem of Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams totaled 811 yards on the ground in three wins while the Scarlet Knights' defense has allowed an average of 59.3. Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said Tuesday he is "very optimistic" quarterback Gary Nova, who threw for five touchdowns in the 35-26 win at Arkansas last season, could play after suffering a concussion last week.The Arkansas defense will also have to deal with running back Paul James, a first-year starter who leads the nation with 493 yards rushing and scored six times the last two games. The Razorbacks are ranked sixth in the nation in total defense, led by lineman Chris Smith's 4.5 sacks. It's the first time Rutgers will host an SEC team on campus and Arkansas' first game in the Northeast since 1940 against Fordham.TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Rutgers -1ABOUT ARKANSAS (3-0): Collins became the first freshman in SEC history to go over 100 yards in his first three games and Williams, a sophomore, has matched him. Quarterback Brandon Allen, who is averaging 129.3 passing yards and 14.7 attempts, suffered a shoulder injury in last week's win over Southern Mississippi, has yet to practice and could be replaced by AJ Derby. The Arkansas offensive line has allowed only six tackles for loss and Javontee Herndon is Allen's top target with 10 catches for 165 yards and three touchdowns.ABOUT RUTGERS (2-1): James stepped in for Jawan Jamison seamlessly while gaining over eight yards a carry to help Nova, who completed 63.6 percent of his passes in a little over two games. Chas Dodd would take the reins if Nova can't go and look for the Knights' two top threats through the air, Leonte Carroo and Brandon Coleman, who have combined for 18 catches, 296 yards and five touchdowns. Rutgers must get better against the pass after allowing 456 and 335 yards in two of their three games.EXTRA POINTS1. Rutgers is the only team in the nation with at least one shutout in each of the last eight seasons after blanking Norfolk State 38-0 on Sept. 7.2. Arkansas has outscored its first three opponents 21-0 and outgained them 308-78 in the fourth quarter.3. Rutgers is 6-11-2 all time against SEC opponents, including wins over Arkansas and Vanderbilt (2004) in its last two.PREDICTION: Arkansas 24, Rutgers 14

Los Alamos National Laboratory has made the first of its 18 shipments of transuranic (TRU) waste to the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project at Idaho National Laboratory.
The first shipment left Los Alamos, Nov, 13, according to lab spokesman Fred DeSousa.
"Known as MTRU, or mixed transuranic waste, the material requires special handling because it consists mostly of large, metal equipment with sharp edges. By using equipment and technology available at the Idaho site, this waste can be remotely repackaged safely and efficiently with far fewer hazards for workers," Desousa said in a statement. He added, "Removing such waste from Los Alamos facilitates the lab's effort to meet our commitments with New Mexico. In addition, the three-site operation demonstrates DOE-EM's ability to meet the challenge of conducting high priority but technically complex environmental management operations."
In all 46 cubic meters will be shipped to Idaho and eventually back to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad.
The shipments are part of the lab's campaign to remove 3,706 cubic meters of TRU-Waste by the end of June.
On Friday, DeSousa said, "We ended FY 13 having shipped 2,745 cubic meters vs. our goal of 2,600 toward the campaign goal of 3,706."

- User based dashboards
- Extended User Profiles
- Project Library
- Browsing a project library
- Project document management

After watching the videos you can try Alfresco Share running in the Cloud for yourself here.
Introduction to the Alfresco Cloud Trial
Alfresco Dashboards
Alfresco Share provides users with two types of dashboard, or landing page. There is one for each project and one for each user. Project Managers can configure project dashboards, to include project based 'Dashlets', while the user can configure their own dashboard to support their personal needs.
Project Dashboards
This video tutorial shows how to configure the project dashboard.
Personal Alfresco Share Dashboard
This video tutorial shows how to configure a personal dashboard.
Extended User Profiles
Alfresco Share manages a profile for each user. With the introduction of Alfresco Share 3.2 these have been extended to include extra information about each user. Two new tabs have been added:
- Sites – Provides a list of all of the projects or sites that the user has access to or is working on
- Content – Provides a snap shot of the content that the user has either created or has recently modified
Project Library
Alfresco Share provides users with an area for storing, managing and sharing project related content. The two videos on this page show how to browse the Document Library; to review content and then Document Management capabilities, to show project team members can add content, edit document attributes etc.
Browse the Project Library
This video shows you how to browse a project document library.
Project Document Management
This video shows you some of the document management capability available within Alfresco Share.
Project Based Links
Team members may find interesting Internet sites that they want to share with other project team members. With Alfresco Share they can simply add them to the Project Links area. Individual links can be tagged to make it easy to sort large lists of links. This video tutorial shows how we have added some branding related sites to our branding project.
Project Based Discussion Threads
Alfresco Share provides team members with a place to discuss project topics. Team members can raise issues, post questions or just start a discussion thread. Other project members can post replies, sharing their ideas and views with all of the project team. Unlike email, these discussion threads are managed as part of the project, allowing people to understand the rational for key decisions.
Project Based Blogs
The Project Blog area allows team members to create Blog items. This could be used just to share ideas and thoughts with other project team members. It could also be used to develop Blog content that eventually gets posted on a public Blog site. Team members can collaborate around the blog entry before it finally goes live. This video tutorial will review some of the blog pages for Green Energy.
Finding and Creating New Collaboration Project Sites
Alfresco Share makes it easy to search and find project collaboration sites. Users can also create new sites to start collaborating with other users. This video tutorial shows how users can quickly and easily find existing projects and how to create a new project collaboration site.
Administering Users and Groups
This video tutorial will demonstrate some of the new administration features that have been added in Alfresco Enterprise Edition 3.2. It will show how an administrator can:
- Create a new user
- Change a user
- Administer Groups

The Hostel is a 10-15 min straight walk from Luxor Temple (You follow one road all the way).I stayed in a dorm room which was clean & presentable with great working AC.They have a roof terrace which is nice for chilling out, free breakfast & cheap tours; I payed £6 (UK) for a 5 hour tour of the Valley of the Kings (excluding ticket price), which is value for money.The wifi was also super & computers are available if you haven't brought your laptop or android etc.Definitely stay here!

The best place in all of Egypt. I stayed in Alexandria, and Cairo, which the hostels had very bad staff. So, I was not expecting anything better here in Luxur, but to my surprise it was the best place. The Staff is really outstanding, they did not overcharge me for anything not even water. For tours we got charge a lot less than other people that were on the same tour. The rooms are so, so clean and have AC, and a balcony. The location is fantastic too! Walking distance from everything!!

and because I had it on hand already.
Oh what perfect timing...just today I was thinking about looking for a potato soup recipe for my slow cooker. I am so happy to have found this post! Our area is expecting some cooler temps later this week with rain so I think this will be on my menu plan for one of those evenings. Thanks for sharing!
Made this for dinner tonight after seeing it on my facebook wall this morning! It was amazing!!! I added one package of cubed ham to it as well and served it with a wonderful lettuce salad. My daughter said it was just like Bennigans, her favorite, so that was a huge compliment. Its worth making and I'm sure will now be one of our faves! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI made the loaded potato soup today with the frozen hash browns. It was delicious and SO EASY!!!
ReplyDeleteI made this yesterday, and boy was it good! My husband told me that it was the best potato soup he's ever put in his mouth! He said it's definitely a keeper! :) YaaaY!...lol...Thanks for sharing this simple, and comforting soup! Oh and by the way, I love your site! Found ya threw Southern Plate! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Brandie!
I love your site. Your recipes are great, and my picky seven-year-old daughter really enjoys them.
Question: Can this potato soup be frozen? Since it's just my daughter and me, I'm assuming we'll have leftovers . . . and having some on-hand in the freezer would be nice if you think it would work.
I made this last night and it was AMAZING! This marks my fifth recipe of yours I've made and my husband and I have loved every one! So far we've made your Oreo Pudding Poke Cake (made for my husband's birthday last year and loved by everyone at his party) and then I rediscovered you a couple weeks ago searching for a Cheeseburger Soup recipe (I had found your Oreo cake via Pinterest and hadn't looked around your site ath the time). I have since made your ranch dressing (FINALLY a Ranch dressing that I like at home, I've only ever liked restaurant's ranch dressings before so I'm so happy to have found your recipe), your baked ziti and your garlic butter bread, so DELICIOUS! :) Last night was your Loaded Baked Potato soup and it was phenomenal! It will definitely be made again but I'm thinking of adding celery, like you suggested, and either chopped or sliced carrots next time too. Have you tried that before? If so, did you add them at the beginning and cook all day or add later on in the day? Thank you so much for all your delicious recipes! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Julie you make my heart sing with that comment!! Yippee!! I am just so, so thrilled that you have had success with those recipes! Thank you for taking the time to let me know!
About the celery, I add it right on in at the beginning so it will add some good flavor to the broth. I think carrots would probably work too. I haven't tried them but carrots, celery, onions and garlic all just seem to naturally go with each other! :)
Thanks for sharing! To quicken the process I used Yukon gold potatoes and kept the skins on! Added a little cornstarch and water to thicken! Great soup!
ReplyDeleteMade the Mac & Cheese & got great Family review. This is next on my list :)Cant wait to try it. I have my version but im lovin the CrockPot Idea. Will let You know when the Fam. reviews come in :)
ReplyDeleteI made this yesterday. Loved the ease of letting it cook in the crock while I picked up the kids from school. I didn't have any bacon and added dill to it to season it. It was really good! I love your site and visit often for easy ideas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the its so quick i'm going to try with hashbrowns. thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe potato soup was amazing! I added some diced ham that I had in the freezer and it was so good. Thank you for your site and for your recipes!!!
ReplyDeleteWe love this recipe but use heavy whipping cream in place of the half and half
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed your loaded potato soup. I added some canned corn at the end with the half and half. My husband wanted the corn. We topped with a little sour cream, crumbled bacon and cheese. It tasted just like a loaded baked potato. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for the easy crock pot recipe.
I am just tickled pink when anyone takes their precious time to leave me a message. Thank you for stopping by and thank you for commenting!
Just remember to be nice and keep it clean. This is a family blog and if you wouldn't say it to me while in my home, then don't type it on here. Thank ya kindly!
