Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the MTX FPR10-04 by John Pollard What's a component sub and why would I want one? A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back. Shallow sub, intense bass MTX built the FPR10-04 subwoofer to give you big bass in a vehicle that that doesn't have room for traditional large subwoofers. This sub comes in at only 3-3/8" deep, so it mounts in low-profile enclosures that'll fit almost anywhere. This sub handles up to 300 watts RMS, and delivers the kind of powerful performance that you'd usually only experience with a traditional sub. A pair of these 4-ohm subs work great with your mono amp, or use a single sub for a 2-channel amp that's bridged to mono. Durable design You can push the FPR10-04 hard, and it's built to survive in the tough car environment. A lightweight aluminum dustcap protects the polypropylene cone, while the rugged rubber surround offers long-lasting durability. MTX's unique Spider Plateau Venting keeps your subwoofer running cool during intense jam sessions. This sub requires a sealed box. To drive this single subwoofer, we recommend a mono amplifier rated between 225 and 450 watts RMS at 4 ohms.

I bought this sub to fit under the passenger seat of my Scion Xb. I couldn't get the necessary box size to work with my space restrictions so I went to the back hatch. I'm pretty happy with it as a low profile sub, but not compared to a larger sub if you are looking for super low frequencies. HOWEVER, if you have a smaller car or truck and are worried about install size I don't think there is anything better for the money. This thing SLAMS and sounds great, even for one low profile 10". I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is worried about space or doesn't have a trunk or hatch to work with. Pros: Small size, clean sound. Great value.

BMC Racing Team's Philippe Gilbert bested Vuelta a España race leader Joaquin Rodriguez in a two-up sprint Sunday in Barcelona to score his first victory of the season.
'I Never Stopped Fighting'
After thrusting his arm in the air after crossing the line ahead of the Katusha Team rider and seven seconds ahead of third place, Gilbert said the victory was satisfying, particularly coming nearly a year after his last win at the GP de Wallonie on Sept. 14, 2011. "It's been a hard season for me and I'm very happy to win with the BMC Racing Team jersey," Gilbert said. "There's been a lot of expectations for me this season and I was not going like I should go. But I never stopped fighting. The good thing is, I always had the confidence of the team and my family and my supporters." Rodriguez kept the overall lead while widening his advantage over second-placed Christopher Froome (Sky Procycling) by crossing the line 12 seconds ahead of the main field.
Ballan's Attack
Gilbert came to the line with Rodriguez after the pair broke away on the Category 3 ascent of the Alto de Montjuic, four kilometers from the finish of the 196.3 km race. Their escape was set up by an attack by BMC Racing Team's Alessandro Ballan at the foot of the 1.1 km climb that averages eight percent. "When I saw Alessandro go, I looked up and saw the top was still a long ways off," Gilbert said. "I knew Alessandro was going early, but that was the plan." Over the top, only Gilbert could follow Rodriguez and the two opened up a gap on the high-speed descent leading to the finish line outside the 1992 Olympic Stadium. "I was riding it like it was a time trial until 500 meters to go," the past Belgian national road and time trial champion said. "We didn't have time to talk, but I looked at him as if to say 'now it's your job to take the seconds.' Then I waited until the last 150 meters to open up my sprint."
Strong Teamwork
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said Rodriguez was the perfect rider to take to the line. "They had a common interest to go full gas and ride to the finish," Lelangue said. "Rodriguez was looking for a gap on the leaders and we were going for the stage win. We knew this would be a good finish for Philippe. It's good to have the first victory." Lelangue said the win was set up by work the team did to bring back a four-man breakaway that escaped at the start. "Steve Cummings and Yannick Eijssen did a good job of controlling the break and keeping it at four minutes," Lelangue said. "Then the rest of the guys did a good job of putting Gilbert and Ballan in good position at the foot of the climb."
Look for More Opportunities
The victory was the BMC Racing Team's sixth of the month, adding to wins by Adam Blythe (Paris-Corrèze, Stage 1), Johann Tschopp (Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah overall and Stage 5), Alessandro Ballan (Eneco Tour of Benelux, Stage 7) and Tejay van Garderen (USA Pro Challenge, Stage 2). Lelangue said he hopes there are more chances in the final two weeks of the Vuelta to achieve the team's objectives. "We want to try to keep Steve Morabito in a good position on the general classification and keep finding opportunities to go for stage wins," he said. Morabito finished with the pack on the stage to remain 18th overall, 4:29 back of Rodriguez. Monday marks the first of two rest days in the three-week race.

We plan to produced two Neuera demonstration units this year, a M200G and M200 Firefly. These will not be for sale to the general public, but we continue to plan for the construction of up to twenty 100 LS and Neuera models in 2013 along with up to forty-three Skycar 200 LS aircraft. The newly designed Skycar 200 LS is now seen as a more desirable product with a greater overall potential than the Neuera, and therefore we have shifted priorities to this two-passenger, high-speed VTOL volantor. We continue to belive the best venue for the sale of our initial volantors is an auction available to participants worldwide. Anyone interested in participating in the auction can deposit a fully refundable $500 registration fee and have their name placed on the auction notification list.
2. How many Neuera are you currently working on? When do you expect to complete them and have a demonstration?We have three additional Neuera models under construction and have one that we have designated the Firefly. It uses more powerful engines to increase its potential payload to approximately 750 lbs. This version of the Neuera will be able to operate to an altitude of approximately 2,000 feet and is intended for fire fighting, search and rescue and other specialized missions that require the unique capabilities of our volantor. Our production schedule has slowed due to a lack of funds, but we hope to get back on track this year. We estimate component fabrication, assembly and preliminary tests will require approximately nine months, with manned flight tests and demonstrations to follow.
3. How safe is the M 200G and how are you proving that it is safe?
Most VTOL aircraft are extremely intolerant to failures of their propulsion systems. The M200 and M400-series volantors have been designed to withstand a failure of an engine during VTOL operations by using multiple engines to provide thrust. If an engine were to fail while the aircraft is in hover, our redundant propulsion system can accommodate the failure by providing additional thrust from the other engines. We also have redundant control system components using multiple computer-assisted flight controllers. During flight tests we have induced engine failures and had no significant loss of control or stability.
4. What is the potential for vehicles such as this to impact on congestion and traffic?
The M200G is not intended for general use over developed areas. It is our intent to offer this vehicle for utilitarian and recreational purposes over undeveloped terrain. We believe its use within an urban setting would be limited to public safety operations such as fire fighting, medical evacuation, transport and insertion of tactical personnel, and other critical missions that the craft is uniquely qualified to perform.
5. How long will it take for the vehicles to be competitively priced enough to truly compete with traditional on-road vehicles? – Along with safety, price will surely be hugely important in determining the long-term effects in alleviating congestion on the roads?
Again, our view for the role of the M200-type vehicles is more for recreation and public safety operations than for routine travel. The vehicle's special capabilities and ease of use make it an excellent choice for these functions. Use in more general travel scenarios would necessitate a dramatic improvement in fuel economy for the M200-based products. We believe the M200 series products will remain primarily used for public safety and recreational applications. We believe the M400, with its higher speed, longer range and aerodynamic cruise capabilities, will be an affordable alternative to mid- to long range commuting in the not too distant future. Its combined VTOL and high-speed flight capabilities, good fuel economy, roadability and potential low cost when made in high volume are expected to make it a very attractive alternative to ground-based transportation. Furthermore, we believe that while volume production of the M400 is perhaps a decade away, within the next few years we will have demonstrated the M400 Skycar's ability to overcome a variety of ground-based transportation problems that plague us today.
6. Is there a waiting list for the M200G?
We have a number of people who have put deposits on the M400 who will be given an opportunity to apply this deposit to the M200G. Since we have not yet made this offer to the existing depositors I don't have a firm number, but my guess is that perhaps as many as 50 of these depositors may move over to the M200G list.
7. Does my M200G auction list registration deposit earn interest?
8. Where can I get service or warranty work done on my M200G?
Service for the vehicle would need to be performed by Moller International, or its authorized representatives. Since we don't have any authorized representatives yet, we would probably look to see where you are and see if anyone locally has the required skill set. If they do, we can offer to train them to perform the maintenance and warranty work. If not, the work would need to be done here in Davis, California.
9. What is the price for a M200G?
Initial sales of the M200 Neuera will be through an international auction. Once the M200 production level reaches 1,000 per year it is anticipated that the price will be less than $250,000, however, the ultimate purchase price of the M200 will be governed by its engine cost, which depends on the engines' widespread use in other applications.
10. Do I need a pilot's license to fly the M200G?
We do not anticipate a requirement for a private pilots license to operate the M200G. It is constrained to an altitude of about 10 feet above the ground, and therefore falls into the classification of a ground effect vehicle. The FAA has stated that it is not going to take authority for regulating these kinds of vehicles, but constraining a vehicle to ground effect operation, even though it is capable of flying much higher, is a unique application of operation under the FAA's ground effect category. Therefore the FAA will have some oversight. Other federal, state or local ordinances may apply and we will do our best to keep everyone informed of these requirements as they develop.
11. How would the M200G behave if it came to steep drop off?
The terrain following software would see that the vehicle was out of the ground effect region and attempt to reestablish contact with this zone. It would allow the vehicle to proceed at its maximum safe descent rate until it reestablished contact with the surface and then proceed accordingly.
12. How does it handle in the wind?
The artificial stability system is continuous checking for non-commanded changes in the attitude of the craft, and when one is detected it attempts to correct it. These corrections typically require about a fifth of a second to occur, resulting in a very smooth flight. We have flown in some pretty significant wind conditions, and believe that in all but the worst of conditions the vehicle would remain very stable. More tests and data will have to be collected to determine the limitations for routine operations.
13. Won't the M200G cause traffic problems when it is used in cities?
The M200G is intended for use "off-road" somewhat like an ATV or hovercraft would be used. It is meant as an alternative to a trail bike, boat, jeep, airboat or other off-road vehicle to access remote areas that would otherwise not be open for travel. It is not intended for use above roads, trails, walkways, etc. and especially not within an urban area where there are lots of other alternatives. The exception to this would be for emergency services like fire fighting, search and rescue, and emergency medical evacuation from high-rise buildings and such.
14. Is the thrust from the fans going to be a danger to the pedestrians the vehicle flies over?
We do not believe so. In some of our videos you can clearly see the photographers around and under the vehicle during the test flights. No one is suffering any particular discomfort from this exposure. We have personnel who stood under the M400 while it has hovered over their heads not more than 10 feet and experienced little more than a good gust of wind. The airflow is fast, but relatively low volume compared to that of a helicopter, which many people find much more discomforting. Still, it is not something that we intend to happen on a frequent basis, so we really don't believe downwash from the vehicle is going to be a major issue.
15. Isn't the noise from the engines and fans going to be a problem?
The M200G uses multiple Rotapower engines, a 4-stroke rotary engine (similar in many ways to the engine used in a Mazda RX-8) and while it is true that we have eight of them, noise is not cumulative so eight engines don't make the vehicle eight times louder. Unless someone modifies a car's exhaust system, the noise levels produced are generally acceptable, just as they are anticipated to be in the M200G. In addition, there is some fan noise, but again this doesn't increase the level of noise cumulatively, so it should be something we can constrain to an acceptable level.

Sometimes the end result in a baking adventure isn't how you imagined it would be. Tim's birthday cake was a perfect example. I set to work on his cake Saturday morning and never sensed that the cake wasn't in the mood to cooperate. I was trying out a new cake pan I received for Christmas and I had every last detail planned for how the cake would look when completed. I used my most favorite chocolate cake recipe (the Wacky Cake recipe from this book), filled the pan, put it in the oven, and set my timer.
Once the cake came out of the oven, it was a test of my patience waiting for it to cool. I was so eager to assemble the cake… I waited, and waited, went on a bike ride, and waited some more… And then, it was time to remove the cake from the pan. This is when the trouble started. The cake simply refused to release itself. I tapped, knocked, pounded, and even dropped (on the floor, gasp!!!) the pan trying to encourage the cake to come out. Nothing. I let it sit longer on the counter. Nothing. Finally my inner rage took over and I really pounded on the bottom of the pan, I mean really pounded. Exactly half of the cake plopped out and landed on the parchment paper circle I had waiting on the counter. The other half didn't budge. I ended up gently removing it with a spatula, but some cake remained in the fluted nooks of the pan. Tim took care of that by dipping his fingers in and sweeping wads of cake into his mouth. Birthday greed?!
So, what was supposed to be one round cake with a mousse-filled cavity ended up being half of a two layer cake with a mousse-filled layer in between. Baking failures always upset me and some level of mopiness ensues (I can't be the only one, right?). The final cake (which is still pretty):
The components: Two layers of chocolate wacky cake with a peanut butter mousse in between, drizzled with chocolate ganache, and topped with granulated agave-sweetened peanuts (the mousse, ganache, and nuts are all test recipes for Celine and Joni's cookbook). The cake is delicious regardless of the misfortune along the way. Maybe the cake knew what was best?
Not a photo, but a scanned image of the birthday card I made for Tim. I love elephants (purple ones especially!), and we both love birds, so that was the inspiration behind this particular card.
Tim and I also enjoyed homemade tofu jerky over the weekend:
Smoky Peppered Tofu Jerky – We made this in our food dehydrator (using an adapted recipe from How it All Vegan). Making jerky takes a long time, but the results are worth it. This small batch lasted less than a day.
Lastly, another test recipe for the cookbook:
Homemade tofu mayo! I was never a huge mayo fan before going vegan, but this was so simple to make. I used it in the Tofu Dill Salad Sandwich recipe from Vegan with A Vengeance and it worked beautifully.

I have had theses rugs in my kitchen for the past 6 years. They are unbelievably durable. We have excessive traffic through our home with kids, dogs and a landscape business. After all of theses years of exceptional service, the threads used to weave the canvas have finally worn out. I am definitely ordering more today.

In its entirety, this panorama chronicles the life and exploits of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian freedom fighter.

Economic innovation in Michigan fell in the third quarter of 2008, according to UM-Dearborn study
March 12, 2009
DEARBORN / March 12, 2009---In a reflection of the acceleration of the national economic recession last year, innovative economic activity in Michigan declined by 1.8 percent during the third quarter of 2008, according to the innovation index compiled by scholars at the University of Michigan-Dearborn School of Management.
The index fell to 93.3 in the third quarter, down from 95.0 in the second quarter of the year. The third quarter of 2008 also was down significantly from the third quarter of 2007, when the index stood at 95.8.
Despite the decline, innovative activity in the state is still significantly higher than it was at the end of 2007, when the index tallied 89.9.
The quarterly index, a project of UM-Dearborns Center for Innovation Research, or iLabs, provides a summary measure of economic innovation activity in the state of Michigan. The index tracks economic innovation in Michigan based on calculations of employment of innovation workers, trends in venture capital, trademark applications, incorporation activity, small business loans and gross job creation. Of the six indicators, two rose and four fell in the third quarter of 2008, with gross job creation the most significant upward factor.
At a time when many jobs are being lost, it is even more important that new jobs are created, according to Lee Redding, associate professor of business economics and director of the Innovation Index at the UM-Dearborn School of Management. The reported number of new jobs created by new companies or companies adding jobs was approximately 228,000 during the second quarter of 2008, adding 2.6 points to the Index.
(Due to data availability, this item enters the index calculation one quarter late.)
The other positive indicator was continuing improvement in venture capital activity in the state. Data showed a fourth straight quarter of improvement, recording the highest total for a quarter since 2000, Redding said. The improvement in the third quarter added 1.5 points to the Index.
On the negative side, employment of innovation workers, the number of trademarks applied for in the state, the number of loans arranged through the Detroit office of the Small Business Administration and the number of new incorporations all declined during the third quarter of 2008.
The fraction of Michigan workers employed in science and engineering fields declined very slightly during the quarter and the number of new incorporations fell somewhat, Redding said.
A much larger decline was seen in the number of small business loans which continued its decline in the third quarter and is now less than half the level it was in 2006, according to Redding. Trademark applications filed by Michigan businesses also fell in the third quarter, lowering the Innovation Index by 2.8 points.
The Innovation Index for the fourth quarter of 2008 will be released in June.
Redding collaborates on the project with economist Anne-Louise Statt.

Jockey Quotes
JOEL ROSARIO, CAPITAL PLAN, Winner: "I knew they were going really, really slow, but she's the kind of filly where you can't make your move too soon. I just tried to wait for the right time so when I asked her to go she would have something left. And that was exactly what happened. I wasn't 100 per cent confident we would win at the sixteenth pole, but my filly was giving me everything she had. I want to thank Jerry (Hollendorfer) for all the opportunities he's given me."
GARRETT GOMEZ, CAMBINA, Second: "She ran well. I put her in a drive early hoping that if I stayed on top of them, sooner or later she would give me something. She just kept fighting and fighting. She was useful and willing the whole way. Hopefully, she'll continue to step forward.''
Trainer Quotes
DAN WARD, ASSISTANT TRAINER JERRY HOLLENDORFER, CAPITAL PLAN, Winner: "It looks like (Rosario) should have been on the lead going that slow, but it's going to help out in the long run. In her previous races, she tried to pull the first part and not relax. If you're going to be a good horse, you have to relax. She went 23 and change the last quarter and when she won the Santa Barbara (April 21) she went 22 and change. If she can relax, she's going to be a better horse. Everyone said you should win easy, but it's never that easy. The main thing is the Breeders' Cup (Filly and Mare Turf Nov. 2), so we just have to get there. Maybe the (Grade II, $250,000 John C. ) Mabee (Aug. 12 at Del Mar) or the (Grade I, $750,000) Beverly D (Aug. 18 at Arlington) and then the prep during the Santa Anita (Fall) meet. We want to be at out peak for the big race."

Why Cable TV in Laura, IL
There are so many reasons why we here at CableTV.com appreciate cable service. Cable offers hundreds of HD channels that won't break up in bad weather and are available whenever you want. It offers everything from movies and TV shows, to On Demand entertainment. And with most providers you get all your local channels for free. Because it requires less equipment than satellite, Cable TV is easier to install and better value. Most providers offer a free HD DVR, and you can bundle digital cable with high-speed internet--which is faster than DSL--and only pay one bill every month. Plus cable is:
Cable TV offersmore HD choices
Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable
Cable can beinstalled virtually anywhere
How Laura, IL Watches TV
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
About Laura Cable Internet
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Laura residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Illinois grew to 69% by 2010. Enter your zip code to find out more about cable Internet, bundles and providers in Laura.

So, just curious as to what the general consensus of the new quad limbs are. What are the pro's and con's in your opinion? I can't see Martin putting split limbs on the entire lineup of 2013 compounds, so the question is:
IF you were to purchase a 2013 Martin, would you be more interested in a solid or split limb configuration and why?

This interview was conducted in winter 2011 by Mira Kruger, the granddaughter of a PH patient and a volunteer writer for PHA's Pathlight newsletter.
Tara with her dog Caesar
Where do you live? I live in Queensland, Australia.
How old are you? I am 12 years old, and I'm turning 13 next March.
When were you diagnosed? I was diagnosed in 2000, when I was one-and-a-half years old. I was literally on the operating table to have heart surgery to fix the heart defects I was born with when the surgeon discovered my high pulmonary pressures.
When did you first start having symptoms of PH? I first started having symptoms early in 2000.
What were your symptoms? My symptoms were blue lips and declining oxygen, which the doctors thought were caused by my heart defects.
What activities do you like to do? I love dancing, playing netball and swimming. It's hot and humid where I live, and I have a pool that I can swim in that the Make A Wish Foundation gave me when I was 8.
Have you ever felt unable to do something because of PH? I am unable to go running because I get puffed and out of breath, but I really wish I could run in my school carnival.
How has your life changed since your PH diagnosis? Since I've had PH from a very young age, I don't really know what life without PH would be like. Sometimes I get annoyed because of all my medications, doctors' visits and tests that interfere with what I want to do. I know I need all my medication, but sometimes I wish my doctor would let me stop taking some of the medication.
What is a message you'd like to pass on to other kids with pulmonary hypertension? Enjoy the things that you can do and don't worry about what you can't do. Stay strong and brave and as active as you can.

Look up this thread on AT. I've known about this for some time now--about 6 weeks. Obviouly I kept my mouth shut as I was supposed to. I know a little more than what was posted on AT, but again, am not in a position to divulge the information.
The point of this thread is to get some suggestions to improve their line of bows and quality. Hopefully somebody at Martin will read and take into account what their customers would like to see in the way of improvements. Bear in mind that only constructive ideas (not gripes) will be accepted and no bashing, please. I would like to start:
More attention to detail concerning cams and modules needs to be implemented. All areas such as string/cable grooves should be chamfered or rounded to eliminate abrading of string/cable servings. This bit of machining would save the company money replacing strings/cables from excessive wear and make customers very happy.

For travelers seeking a large all-inclusive with plenty of activities and amenities, and a laid-back, easygoing vibe, Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa is a great choice. Located along the largest private stretch of Negril's beautiful Seven Mile Beach, the resort is spacious and luxurious, with open-air dining, a variety of water and land sports, and enough entertainment and relaxation options to keep guests happy and relaxed. The resort is a bit removed from the larger strip of hotels and cottages along the highway, but is still close enough to popular local attractions and shops to give guests looking to explore the area easy access to the downtown area. It is also a ways from the airport, and there's no free shuttle.
Arguably Jamaica's most romantic escape (for adults only), the Caves' 12 unique, private cottages and suites are tucked along lush garden paths and dramatic seaside cliffs (there's no beach). High-quality, locally focused cuisine, a top-shelf bar, and intimate, incredibly attentive service make it Jamaica's best all-inclusive, though nearby Tensing Pen and Rockhouse offer similar settings at cheaper prices.
A peaceful and beautiful resort, The SPA Retreat Boutique Hotel was designed to be a true escape for couples and small groups that want to relax, be pampered, and enjoy a quiet experience. For adults only, the intimate hotel (maximum 47 visitors) features individual cottages, all-inclusive packages for dining at the on-site restaurant and bar, a variety of spa services, and an incredible view of the Negril cliffs and Caribbean. The hotel's gorgeous design and luxurious treatments make it a great upscale option for weddings, health and wellness retreats, and special events, as well as travelers that simply want to escape and unwind in a tropical setting.
The lush, laid-back Rockhouse creates a holistic haven -- gourmet dining, morning yoga, cliffside loungers, a premium spa, no kids under 12, and beautiful eco-appropriate design. But most astounding are the reasonable rates. (The slightly chicer Caves costs about three times more.)
This 234-room beach resort delivers more than the free meals and cheap booze of the typical all-inclusive; offerings include top-shelf liquor, unlimited golf, water sports and excursions, airport transfers and minibars that are re-stocked daily. Of course, the atmosphere is anything but intimate, with hundreds sharing a packed beach, rowdy pool, and crowded restaurants -- but it's a bit less crowded, and often cheaper, than its sister property Couples Swept Away. Rooms here are arguably nicer as well, though some may find Bloody Bay location less appealing than Swept Away's location on Seven Mile Beach.
Restricted to couples ages 18 and up, this large (though quiet) 312-room all-inclusive is on one of Jamaica's best beaches. Modern rooms with Wi-Fi and iPod docks, quality food, and a low-key atmosphere best Sandals, but Couples isn't as intimate as the Sunset at the Palms or The Caves. Hundreds of guests share the beach and restaurants.
Designed for families with kids and teens, Beaches Negril Resort & Spa is a beautiful property with a wide variety of activities, classes, and events. With a water park, kids' camp, teen hangouts and specialty activities, children have plenty to keep them busy, and adults can enjoy the spa or candlelit dining for two. Contemporary rooms have ocean views and the biggest one sleeps up to 12 people. The location, right on Negril's Seven Mile Beach, puts the resort a short drive away from the town center and a number of shops, boutiques, and craft markets, as well as restaurants and bars. Since the majority of guests are families, the resort can get noisy, but the hotel is so large that it's possible to find quiet. Couples may be happier at the adults-only Sandals Carlyle Inn -- Beaches' all-inclusive sister property in Montego Bay.
The upper-middle-range Moon Dance Cliffs resort provides a quiet and scenic retreat for couples and groups, tucked into the cliffs of Negril. With spacious standard rooms, expansive suites, and huge private villas -- all with cheerful Caribbean style -- guests have plenty of room to spread out. The gardens and water views at this property are particularly special, making this a popular pick for weddings and private events. For relaxing, the hotel offers direct access to the cliffs and lots of pool space. An all-inclusive option is available and the cliffside restaurant has panoramic views.
With an intimate collection of 17 cottages (22 rooms), Tensing Pen is where guests come to unplug -- no TVs, phones, or radios in the rooms -- and enjoy the breathtaking cliffs of Negril's west end. The pool, spa, and restaurant are a little smaller and less popular than at the similarly priced, similarly styled Rockhouse boutique, but most guests prefer the quiet exclusivity found here.
The Grand Lido's great liquor, decent food, 24-hour room service, intimate setting, and naked hot-tub parties bring a little grown-up indulgence to the more traditional, family-focused all-inclusive resort scene. However, that indulgence comes with a rather over-inflated price tag and the guest rooms are showing considerable wear -- Couples Swept Away is often the better deal.

CEOs today want to understand the real impact CRM will have on their companies before they make major investments. And with good reason. It wasn't long ago that companies were spending millions on CRM technology based on little more than blind faith. They hoped their investments would lead to improved customer satisfaction and customer interactions, eventually improving both the top and bottom line.
Those days are gone. Too many large investments with too few demonstrable results have left senior executives wary of spending more money without first seeing a direct link to shareholder value creation. They're demanding to know how real results will be measured against anticipated benefits.
Getting Results that Matter
Deloitte can help you navigate through the challenges of establishing a CRM vision, gaining support across the organization, and implementing a CRM solution that meets or beats budget and time targets. The benefits are yours to reap:
Our Approach
CRM investments made wisely can create tremendous value for a company, and developing a solid, fact-based CRM strategy is the key first step to realizing that value.
We can help. We combine deep strategic and operational capabilities with extensive implementation experience to develop value-based, executable strategies. These strategies provide our clients with the foundation for achieving results that matter.

The 2012 event marked the first year when law enforcement agencies from across Bartow County became involved with the program. Emerson Police Chief Stan Bradley said approximately 100 officers from Cartersville, Adairsville, Euharlee, Kingston, Emerson, the Bartow County Sheriff's Office, the Department of Natural Resources, the Georgia State Patrol, the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, Atlanta police, Bartow and Gordon County 911 personnel and probation, parole and pardons departments volunteered to help with the event. An additional 75 volunteers were on hand as well.
Bradley said the children spent approximately $50,000, with another $10,000 left over. Those extra funds will roll over into next year's event, he said.
Shop With A Cop is now set up to take donations throughout the year, Bradley added. Those wishing to donate may do so at any Bank of the Ozarks, with checks made out to Shop With A Cop.
"I just want to thank everyone that volunteered their time and everybody that was able to donate to make this happen," Bradley said, "because this was a wonderful turnout from both sides, from the kids and the volunteers. I think the kids really had a great time and really got a lot from it."

Steve Morabito of the BMC Racing Team continued his climb up the overall standings at the Tour de Suisse Tuesday by winning a time bonus sprint that also earned him the intermediate sprints jersey.
Big Crash At Finish
The seconds Morabito gained on overall leader Tony Martin (HTC-Columbia) moved the Swiss from eighth to sixth place (11 seconds behind) with five stages left. "The plan was not to lose time in the final laps and take good position," BMC Racing Team Director Sportif John Lelangue said. "But once the opportunity came, we decided to go and Steve had good help from Karsten Kroon." Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre) won the stage as a major crash before the finish line took down several riders, including BMC Racing Team's Alex Moos, who was not seriously hurt.

To protect the ecosystem that supports those animals, U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials hope to nearly triple the size of the refuge within several decades by restoring 22,156 acres of land to the north and south.
Plans include planting native vegetation, among other restoration work, in a 15-mile area stretching toward Manteca in San Joaquin County and in a 26-mile swath of riparian areas in the West Side of Stanislaus and Merced counties.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released a draft document in November that examines the environmental impacts of the project, and residents can publicly comment on the document until Friday, Feb. 1.
Kim Forrest, manager of the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge Complex, said she hopes the restored riparian areas will attract not only locals but also tourists, who could boost the economy by spending money locally.
"My vision is to draw people from out of the area, like people from the Bay Area, to visit these areas, … but I also want local people to view these public lands as their big backyard," Forrest said.
Long-term project
Expanding the 12,887-acre refuge to more than 35,000 acres would be a lengthy endeavor, as U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials estimate it would take at least 45 years to acquire half the expansion area.
While the Fish and Wildlife Service hopes to buy 95 percent of the needed land, officials anticipate 5 percent would involve conservation easements or other agreements for land that would continue to be owned by others.
The plan assumes that the agency will continue to receive $1 million annually for restoration. With that money, Fish and Wildlife officials expect to acquire 150 acres of land and restore one mile of levee with native plants every year.
Land would be bought from voluntary sellers, not through eminent domain, Forrest said.
After the environmental assessment is complete, the regional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service's Pacific Southwest Region will decide which of three options is best: restoring land both north and south of the refuge, southward restoration only, or no change. If one of the expansion options is selected, the Service can start acquiring land to expand.
Criticism and support
Fish and Wildlife Service representatives hope to protect endangered species that call the riparian ecosystem home and restoring habitat among other environmental benefits. The environmental assessment also indicates that the newly expanded refuge could even have economic benefits for the region.
At the same time, the plan has come under fire from the San Joaquin County Farm Bureau.
Farm bureau members and officials alike worry about farmland being taken out of production and potential conflicts with agricultural uses, according to an article on the San Joaquin Farm Bureau website. Many fear that the government's desire for acreage in the area would make it harder to sell farmland.
For similar reasons, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 in August 2011, with Supervisor Larry Ruhstaller dissenting, to oppose the refuge's expansion into San Joaquin County.
Still, Fish and Wildlife officials have generally heard support for the plan, Forrest said.
Backyard refuge
Patterson Mayor Luis Molina, who has expressed support for a state and federal effort to restore the San Joaquin River, said he did not know much about the most recent expansion plan. Yet he hoped to see the city engage in a dialogue with Fish and Wildlife officials.
Molina would like to see Patterson expand eastward and has described the river as a community asset. He hopes to speak with local youth to hear their thoughts about the river, as they will be able to enjoy it in future years, he said.
"That's an outdoor classroom waiting to happen," Molina said.
Forrest said she values input from Patterson residents and leaders regarding possible uses for the riverside property, though the Fish and Wildlife Service favors recreational uses that are compatible with a wildlife refuge.
Bicycles or horses, for example, would not be a good fit for a refuge, as they could frighten animals that live there, Forrest said. On the other hand, the agency would be interested in maintaining hiking trails there.
The city of Patterson's draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan proposes a riverfront park that the city and county could create together. That park would be linked with a trail or bicycle path that would extend to another proposed park at the base of Del Puerto Canyon.
City Manager Rod Butler said that creating a riverside park would require cooperation with Stanislaus County, and he would would be open to speaking with Fish and Wildlife Service representatives, as well.
"To have a river that close to our city does present opportunities for recreation," Butler said.

I was very lucky recently to win a Canon EOS 600D with 2 lenses woth £936.00!!
I have no photography experience whatsoever and wondered where would be the best place to sell it and what I could realistically ask for it as it is techincally second hand now. I've not used it once and it hasn't even been tunred on. Everything is in the box as it was the day it arrived. I only wish I knew how to use it to its maximum, but unfortunately I don't, so I would rather it be used by someone who will get the most from it.
Any advice much appreicated.

This blog is simply a collection of photos (some my own, some not), etc. that I find beautiful, amusing, poignant, or that I can relate to in some way. I have a soft spot for beautiful photos of Cape Breton (Nova Scotia, Canada) and Massachusetts (USA).
