- "the Advertiser" means any person or company placing with the Publisher an order for the publication of an advertisement in any of the Publisher's newspapers, other publications and/or hosted websites. For the avoidance of doubt, in this section the words "published" or "Publication" shall mean published in any newspaper and/or on any Website(s) owned and produced by the Publisher.
Orders for insertion of advertisements in the Publication and/or on the Website are accepted subject to the following conditions:-
Warranty. The placing of an order constitutes a warranty from the Advertiser and/or advertising agency to the Publisher:
- that the advertisement is legal, decent, honest and truthful, complying with the British Codes of Advertising and Sales Promotion, with any relevant codes of practice and with the requirements of current legislation; and
- that the advertisement is not defamatory and does not infringe the copyright, moral rights or any other rights of any third party.
- Links. No hyperlinks or metatags may be included in any advertisements save with the express prior permission of the Publisher.
- Indemnity. The Advertiser and/or advertising agency agrees to indemnify the Publisher in respect of all costs, claims, damages, or other charges arising directly or indirectly as a result of the publication of the advertisement(s).
- No Guarantee. While every endeavour will be made to meet the wishes of advertisers, the Publisher does not guarantee the publication of any particular advertisement or its publication on any particular date or in a particular part or edition of the publication/website or to be inserted under a particular classification.
- Errors. It is the responsibility of the Advertiser/advertising agency to check the first appearance of any series of advertisements and notify the Publisher immediately of any errors. The Publisher assumes no responsibility for the correction of errors unless notified by the Advertiser. In the event of any error, misprint or omission in the Publication or the Website of an advertisement or part of an advertisement (however caused) the Publisher will either re-publish the advertisement or relevant part of the advertisement as the case may be or make a reasonable refund of or adjustment to the cost. No re-publication, refund or adjustment will be made where the error, misprint or omission does not materially detract from the advertisement.
- Limitation of Liability. In no circumstances shall the total liability of the Publisher for any error, misprint or omission exceed:
- the amount of a full refund of any price paid to the Publisher for the advertisement in connection with which liability arose; or
- the cost of a further or corrective advertisement of a type and standard reasonably comparable to that in connection with which the liability arose.
- Save as set out above, the Publisher accepts no liability in respect of any loss or damage occasioned directly or indirectly as a result of publication of any advertisement or any loss or damage occasioned directly or indirectly by any total or partial failure (however caused) of publication of any advertisement or of any title or website in which any advertisement is or was scheduled to appear.
- Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Publisher accepts no liability in respect of any loss or damage alleged to have arisen through delay in forwarding or omitting to forward replies to box numbers to the Advertiser (however caused). The advertiser hereby authorises the Publisher to return to its originator or destroy any communication which, in the reasonable opinion of the Publisher, should not be delivered to the Advertiser.
- The Publisher may refuse any advertisement or if already accepted, cancel the order at any time by giving reasonable notice before the next insertion, but in that event, the Advertiser/advertising agency shall not be liable for payment of the difference (if any) between the rates for the series specified in the order and the usual price for the series of insertions which has appeared when the order is stopped; and
- require any alteration it considers necessary or desirable in any advertisement.
- Refusals and Amendments. Mail order advertisements will not be accepted for publication by the Publisher unless the Advertiser completes and returns to the Publisher a Mail Order Guarantee Form, produced by the Newspaper Society, prior to the deadline for publication of the advertisement.
- Cancellation. An advertising agency may cancel any unexpired part of an order without penalty in the event of the death or failure of its client. Orders cannot be cancelled once the Publisher has commenced to carry out the order in accordance with the first publication date requested by the Advertiser. In other cases the Publisher will require seven clear working days' notice of cancellation of any order or unexpired part of an order, or in the case of an advertisement which by reason of its position is chargeable at a premium rate, not less that twenty-eight clear working days' notice. All cancellations must be notified in writing. E-mail notification of cancellation is not acceptable.
It is the responsibility of the Advertiser to retain a note of any 'stop number' issued by the Publisher.
- Self Service Advertising. The Publisher reserves the right to edit any advertisements created through its online self service facilities. The Publisher may remove photographs and alter text based content. It is the responsibility of the Advertiser to check their self-created online advertisement on a regular basis and to notify the Publisher of any apparent issues. All self service access is password controlled. It is the responsibility of the Advertiser to keep their password confidential. You, the Advertiser, are completely responsible for activities that happen under your account and password. If you think there has been unauthorised use of your account or password, you agree immediately to notify the Publisher and co-operate with the Publisher to resolve it. The Publisher will not issue compensation should the web site be temporarily unavailable for any period of time. Any notice of advertisement withdrawal must be submitted to the Publisher in writing. The Publisher will endeavour to carry out the request within a time period agreed with the Advertiser.
- Copyright. The copyright for all purposes in all artwork, copy, video, audio and other material which the Publisher or his employees have originated, contributed to or reworked shall vest in the Publisher. The Advertiser authorises the Publisher to record, reproduce, publish, distribute and broadcast (or to permit the same) all advertisements (including, but not limited to text, artwork, video and photographs) and to include and make them available in any information service, electronic or otherwise.
- Consents. The placing of an order by the Advertiser, or an advertising agency on behalf of a client, constitutes an assurance that all necessary authority and consents have been secured in respect of the use in the advertisement(s) (a) of pictorial or any other representations of (or purporting to be of) living persons, and of references to any words attributed to living persons and (b) any material the copyright in which vests in a third party.
- Risk. Any material submitted by the Advertiser is held by the Publisher at the Advertiser's risk and should be insured by the Advertiser against loss or damage from whatever cause. The Publisher reserves the right to destroy without notice all such property after the date of its last appearance in an advertisement unless the Advertiser has given instructions to the contrary.
- Box Numbers. The Publisher will endeavour to forward all replies to a box number to the Advertiser as soon as is possible after receipt, but the Publisher accepts no liability in respect of any loss or damage alleged to have arisen through delay in forwarding or omitting to forward such replies, howsoever caused. The Advertiser authorises the Publisher to examine material passing through boxes and to return to its originator any communication which, in the opinion of the Publisher, should not be delivered to the Advertiser. Advertisements from dealers are not accepted under a box number.
- Rates. The rates charged for the transmission of any advertisement shall be those set out in the Publisher's rate card in force at the time the order is placed. The rate card is subject to change at any time and may vary between Companies and publications within the Johnston Publishing Limited group of titles. Copies are available on request. It is the responsibility of the Advertiser to bring to the Publisher's attention at the time of booking any discount, allowance or exemption from VAT (Value Added Tax) to which entitlement is claimed. All gross advertising rates (except classified lineage and semi display) are subject to the Advertising Standards Board of Finance (ASBOF) levy from time to time (currently 0.1 %) payable by the Advertiser to help finance the self regulatory system.
- Advertising Agencies. Commission will only be granted to agencies formally recognised by the Newspaper Society or the Publisher at the time of placing the order. The rate of commission payable will be determined by the Publisher and may be varied or withdrawn at the Publisher's discretion at any time, subject to giving the advertising agency seven days written notice thereof. All advertising agencies claiming commission must quote order numbers for every booking made. The Publisher reserves the right to vary these terms of acceptance of advertising and payment in respect of any advertising agency at the Publisher's discretion, subject to giving the advertising agency seven days written notice thereof.
- Time of Payment. Pre-payment may be required for any advertisement at the Publisher's discretion. Where pre-payment is not required, subject to completion and approval of a Credit Application Form, payment shall be made for each advertisement within seven days of the date of the invoice, except that payment of advertisements charged to an approved credit account shall be made no later than:
- that specified to the Advertiser when credit terms are granted; or
- the 30th day of the month following the month in which the invoice was dated.
Should the Advertiser be in breach of these terms, or of any contract with the Publisher, then the full amount in respect of all advertising published and all other amounts accruing from the Advertiser shall become due and payable. The Publisher reserves the right to withdraw credit facilities from any Advertiser at the Publisher's discretion subject to giving the Advertiser seven days written notice thereof, if practicable, or forthwith upon the issue of any Court proceedings against the Advertiser. All payments must be accompanied by the remittance advice issued by the Publisher or a similar document approved by the company. Any query in respect of an invoice must be brought to the attention of the Publisher in writing within seven days of its issue.

- Data Protection. The Publisher will hold personal information obtained in dealings with customers and process it in accordance with the Publisher's Data Protection Notice which can be found at http://ww1.investorrelations.co.uk/jpplc/termsofaccess/ . A primary use of Advertiser personal information is for the marketing purposes of the Publisher and its associated business partners. If an Advertiser does not wish for their personal information to be used for this purpose this should be indicated at the time of booking the advertisement. Any subsequent request to remove consent for personal information to be used for marketing purposes should be submitted in writing to the Group Data Protection Manager, Johnston Press plc, 26 Whitehall Road, Leeds, LS12 1BE.
- Disclosure of Identity. The Publisher reserves the right to disclose the name and address and any other account details of advertisers and/or agencies to the police, trading standards officials, or any other relevant authority and, where the Publisher in its sole discretion deems it reasonable, to other third parties.
- Advertising Orders. Advertising orders are issued by an advertising agency as a principal and must be on the agency's official form. When copy instructions not constituting an official order are issued, they shall be clearly marked "Copy instruction - not an order".
- The Newspaper Society. The terms of the Recognition agreement between the Newspaper Society and the Publisher, or between the Newspaper Society and the Newspaper Proprietors Association and recognised advertising agencies are deemed to be incorporated in these conditions of acceptance of advertisement orders for the publication and transmission of all advertisements accepted from the recognised advertising agency. Without prejudice to the generality of these terms, these conditions of acceptance specifically extend to any personal guarantee given by the Directors or any other person on behalf of a recognised agency at the time of recognition in respect of any unsatisfied liabilities of the agency in the event of the agency's liquidation or insolvency. Such guarantee is part of these conditions of acceptance.
- Acceptance. The placing of an order for the insertion of an advertisement shall amount to an acceptance of the above conditions and any conditions stipulated on an agency's or advertiser's order form or elsewhere by an agency or an advertiser shall be void insofar as they are in conflict with them.

Whenever you provide such personal information, the Publisher will treat that information in accordance with this notice and policy.

- Credit Reference Agencies. The Publisher may ask credit reference agencies to provide a credit scoring computation.

COMMENT and FORUM HOUSE RULES
These House Rules have been developed so that everyone can get the best out of contributing to the Comments and Forums. They aim to protect anyone who reads or contributes to the Comments and Forums and to help everyone to have an enjoyable and safe time.
By participating in the Comments and Forums you agree to abide by these House Rules. The Publisher reserves the right to change these Comments and Forum House Rules at any time by posting these changes online. You are responsible for regularly reviewing information posted online to obtain notice of such changes. Your continuing use of the Comments and Forums once these changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of these Comment and Forum House Rules as modified by the posted changes.
* Please be warned that if any content breaks the rules below it may be removed by the moderators of the Website and your account terminated.
Rules for Contributing to the Forums and Principles that You Must Accept.
- Adding Comments. To add your comment to a Forum, click the "Add Your Comment" (or similar) button on the bottom of the article. If the comment on that specific Forum requires the user to log in or register then please click on the relevant link.
- Moderation. The Publisher is keen to encourage lively and informed debate but at the same time considers that some of its topics will require a closer level of editorial oversight. That is why the Publisher has introduced moderation for some of our discussions. When comments appear on the Forums they will either be "moderated" or "non-moderated". Moderation means that the Publisher's staff will check each comment before posting it onto the Website. The Publisher cannot guarantee that all comments can be published. The Publisher will publish as many comments as it can without editing. However, the Publisher may edit your comments.
- Complaints. We want to encourage safe and open discussions but if you think a comment breaks the Comments and Forum House Rules, click on the "Report As Unsuitable" (or similar) button which appears beside each comment. You will be asked to log in / register (if not already logged in). Once you have logged in, the "Report This Comment" form will appear with a field to enter your reason. Please fill this in telling the Publisher why you think the comment is not acceptable. Once you press the "Report" button, your complaint will be brought to the attention of the Publisher's moderators, who will decide whether the comment breaks the rules. If it does, they will remove it. If it doesn't, it will be allowed to remain on the Forum. This process may be automated, and the comment may be removed automatically, before being reviewed by the moderators. Then it will either be reinstated, or remain removed from the site. The Publisher will not normally enter into correspondence about complaints, but may do so in special cases. If you want to take the matter further, you can do it via the Contact Us section, listing the article in question (please include the web address) and the offending comment and author. Please do not abuse the complaints system. It is there to allow users to report any comments which you deem unsuitable and in breach of the Rules. Similarly, please do not use the "Report as Unsuitable" icon to complain about spelling errors, differences of opinion or multiple postings. Anyone who repeatedly abuses the complaints system simply because they disagree with comments may have their account suspended.
- Personal attacks are prohibited. Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts which are designed to put down or insult Forum members. Comments of this nature are not beneficial to the Publisher's community spirit and will not be tolerated.
- No trolling. Trolling is used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the members of a Forum. Posts of this nature are disruptive and/or say intentionally provocative things just to stir up trouble. It's not polite or acceptable so please don't do it.
- Unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually orientated, racially offensive or otherwise objectionable material is not acceptable. Hardcore swearing is not allowed on the Forums. If you do use language in your posting such as that defined in this paragraph (see also the Swear Word Policy below) the Publisher will remove your posting. If you continue to break the rules you may find your account closed down.
- Comment etiquette. Do not make an unreasonably large number of postings - the Publisher wants to publish comments from as many different people as possible, thus participants should keep their number of contributions per debate to a reasonable level.
- Be patient. Please remember when posting that people of all ages and abilities use the Forums. Remember when you were a new user and try to be kind.
- No spamming or flooding. Spamming is the posting of the same (or very similar) messages to lots of conversation threads. Flooding is when the same (or very similar) message is posted over and over again to the same conversation. Please don't spam or flood the Forums as the Publisher will simply remove your posting and possibly your account.
- No advertising. Advertising is not allowed within the postings on the Forums. Writing articles that review or criticise commercial products, local restaurants, venues etc. are obviously fine as long as they're balanced, but adverts aren't. If you wish to advertise through a banner or a tile advert on the Forum pages please contact the advertising department for the relevant publication.
- Postings or articles containing languages other than English may be removed. The Publisher has to ensure that it understands a posting or article before it can pass it, therefore postings in languages other than English may be removed.
- Don't impersonate others. Impersonating another user of the Forums, moderator, administrator or the Publisher's employees is strictly prohibited. This may be grounds for permanent loss of your Forum account.
- Be careful with including email addresses and instant messaging addresses in contributions. You must not include anyone else's personal details, or even your own. However, it is acceptable to include general contact details for companies, but you must only include publicly available details, for example, the telephone number of a restaurant or the email address of a local company.
- Only include suitable URLs in your postings. Links to websites we consider unsuitable will be removed, so if you are considering contributing something that contains a URL please make sure that it adds value and interest to the subject of your posting and it isn't purely commercial. Unsuitable sites would include those with racist material, pornographic or sexually explicit material, potentially defamatory material, anything which encourages illegal activities, material which infringes copyright, sites which purely plug or promote commercial products or services without containing material which enhances the subject matter, sites that start with automatic downloads or sites which may offend users of the Forum. The Publisher may also have to remove links to sites which are in languages other than English for the reasons described in item 11 above. Please note that the Publisher does not allow URLs to be included in nicknames.
- Feedback. The Publisher welcomes feedback, both positive and negative, about its products and services, but please make sure your comments are in line with these Comments and Forum House Rules. You can contact the moderator of The Forum by using the link provided on the page. Please note though that repeatedly posting personal or offensive comments about individual members of the public or people who work for the Publisher may be considered harassment.

While suspended if you return to the Forums by creating another account this will constitute a further offence and will extend the suspension to the next period or will result in your account being closed permanently. Asking other Forum members to post on your behalf while suspended will constitute a further offence on your behalf and may constitute an offence by those members.
Violation of any of the Forum House Rules could lead to legal action being taken against you by interested authorities or an aggrieved party. Be aware that if legal action ensues the Publisher could be legally obliged to reveal your registration information and/or IP address to those authorities.

Oakland, Calif., April 5, 2011 Breast cancer survivors who experience large weight gain have an increased risk of death after diagnosis, according to research scientists at the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, Calif.
Breast cancer survivors who experienced large weight gain (10 percent or more over their pre-diagnosis weight) were 14 percent more likely to experience a cancer recurrence compared to women whose weight remained stable (within 5 percent of pre-diagnosis weight) following diagnosis.
The study results are being presented at the American Association of Cancer Research 102nd meeting, to be held April 2-6 in Orlando, Fla.
"Most women are not gaining a large amount of weight following breast cancer diagnosis," said lead researcher Bette Caan, DrPH, a senior research scientist at the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research. "However, our analysis showed an association with poorer outcomes overall for those who do." She explained that moderate weight gain did not affect breast cancer outcomes.
"Women tend to worry about gaining weight after a breast cancer diagnosis," said Caan. "But it's actually only the larger weight gains that increase the risk of poor outcomes."
Researchers also found that women who have large weight gains after diagnosis tend to be within normal weight ranges to begin with. In addition, the post-diagnosis effect of the weight gain tends to be greater for women who were originally thinner, they explained.
Women who were leaner to begin with at diagnosis (body mass index less than 25) and who later gained 10 percent or more, had a 25 percent higher risk of cancer death and also had a higher risk of recurrence compared to women whose weight remained stable (within 5 percent of pre-diagnosis weight) following diagnosis.
Large weight gain occurred in 16 percent of women overall. Just over 19 percent of women with a BMI less than 25 fell into the large weight gain category, but only 11.1 percent of women with a BMI greater than 30 fell into that category.
Data for the study came from the After Breast Cancer Pooling Project, which includes 18,336 breast cancer survivors from four prospective cohorts three in the United States and one in Shanghai.
Caan explained that more research is needed to identify those women most at risk for extreme weight gain and those whose weight gain puts them at risk for poor cancer outcomes.

Nakamichi pa-7e + B&W 800 Matrix
Hello, I have a pair of B&W 800 Matrix witch ask a lot of current.
I would like to know if the Nakamichi PA-7E poweramp coud drive well the b&w's. this amp has been disigned by Nelson Pass and was made during end of the 80's. The power is always mentioned in 8 Ohms (200W) but never in 4 Ohms. Does this means that it doesn't handle well 4 Ohms speakers or just that they didn't mentioned the power in 4 Ohms? Thank you Bruno |

The recommended power output for the amplifier is between 150w min. and 800w max. into 8 ohm but I found out that the 800 matrix is not at all demanding on amplifiers.
They take about anything, and are very rewarding once you start using better gear. I'm currently driving them with a pair of AlephX's and I'm very pleased. /Hugo |

re: Nakamichi pa-7e + B&W 800 Matrix
FWIW, I happened to visit Nakamichi America in Torrance, CA in the late 80's (dropping off my OMS 7 for repair) and saw an all Nakamichi 7 series (PA 7, CA 7, OMS 7, ST 7) system in the main lobby with B&W 800 Matrix speakers. It was an enviable system then but it was not turned on! I quickly left to find the repair entrance, but I do believe at one point, the PA 7 brochure featured an outline of the B&W 800 Matrix speaker. Not an official endorsement, of course, but more than coincidence I am sure.

The one and only
The Nakamichi build was pretty beefy in the output
stage and power supply, so I wouldn't have any doubts about the 4 ohm performance. |

4 ohms no problem
My Vienna Beethoven speakers are rated 4 ohms and even dips to 2.5 ohms in the upper bass I think. My PA5EII is very happy driving these and will even melt voice-coils on woofers on occasion so don't worry about the PA7 running on 4 ohms.

am i wrong by saying that B&W800 are 8ohm?
They are great! I believe that they shouldn't be as demaning in current as you think they are (differently from the 805 indeed). They only ask you for a very good and neutral amplification system...that's all! You ' ll find them to sound Veeeeery different upon the type of amp they are plugged on. enjoy your speakers.

I have a Nakamichi PA7E II here on my bench. It was faulty, mainly dry joints which were particularly bad under the class-A voltage gain stages and associated current sink, (Qs 110, 111 and 112). Basically went over the entire board and resoldered everything, Q112 was literally rattling loose, only the collector lead holding it. Presumably because of this, it had gone D.C. and the speaker protector had cut in. The owner seems to be the type whom leaves the unit on almost permanently, estimated by the browning of the phenolic under the class-A voltage gain transistors and the degree of recrystallization of the solder. Presumably after it had gone D.C., he had not realized and the feedback capacitor, C104, a Nichicon "MUSE" 220uF 16v Bipolar electrolytic had been overvoltaged for some considerable duration via the feedback network (R121, 2k49 and R120, 51k1), as there was no D.C. division path. This capacitor had "pop-corked", spilling its electrolyte out through the burst scores at the top of the can,. so this had to be replaced and getting this type of capacitor in Australia is not an easy ask. Both feedback caps were changed and both boards carefully resoldered and inspected for damage. So, after all this, the unit was powered up (in series with 4 paralelled 200w incandescent lamps just in case it's supply port impedance decided to drop to a very low value). The lamps pulsed in brightness as the power supply resevior caps charged and the circuit came into operation normally, producing a voltage amplified signal into no load with no appreciable D.C. offset. The lamps were observed to glow slightly due to the shoot through current of the output stage class-A to Class-B transition bias. The brightness was observed to increase slightly as the output stage and heatsink came into thermal equalibrium after about 10 minutes operation. It was deemed that the bias was too high from the brightness of the lamps' glow, so the power supply leads to each channel were disconnected in turn so the bias of each individual channel could be guesstimated. There is a small red pin header on the edge of the board, TP11, which has two pins connected across one of the 1 ohm emitter resistors, presumably for connection of a voltmeter to determine the bias current for that output device. It must be assumed that the bias currents for all the other output device pairs are much the same, as the use of batch matched output devices is recommended. The bias was set for 50mV across this 1 Ohm, (50mA) by Ohm's Law, but this increased to 72mA as the thing came to thermal equalibrium again. I, personally tend to go for lower bias which runs the output devices cooler and thus increases the longevity of the device overall and the tradeoff being that the device passes into class-B operation ant lower input signal levels with some subsequent degradation of the signal quality during quieter passages. The question is, is there a recommended bias setting and is it measured initially with a cold heatsink or after thermal equalibrium has been attained? If so, does anyone know its numerical value in mA per output device pair? |

PA7 requires 40mV between TP101/102 or 40mA per device. Seems conservative.

Here's what the Service Manual says:
3.1 Preparation for Adjustment (1) Insert shorting pins into the Input Jacks. (2) Remove loads of the speaker terminals. (3) Before starting adjustment, allow twenty minutes or more after the power is turned ON. 3.2 DC Balance Adjustment (1) Connect a DC voltmeter to the L (R) channel speaker terminal. (2) Adjust VR101 (VR201) to obtain 0 +/- 100 mV on the DC voltmeter. 3.3 Idling Current Adjustment (1) Connect a DC voltmeter between TP101 and TP102 (TP201 and TP202) on the Amp. L (R) P.C.B. assembly. (2) Adjust VR102 (VR202) to obtain 40 mV on the DC voltmeter (idling current: 40 mA). (3) Repeat 3.2 and 3.3 one or two times. (4) Remove shorting pins from the Input Jacks.

Great massage. There are cheaper places, but those places have flies and are not as skilled masseuses. It's worth paying $2 more dollars! Our children loved it and they catered to their preferences. (Ages 8 and 10). The owner was fabulous. I believe her name was Thai.
Tried the body massage along with my wife. Both our masseuse were professional and we had no complaints. Would recommend the place for full body massage. Loved the music playing in background.
Several of our fellow hotel guests came here for daily massages and couldn't stop raving about the foot massages so I decided to try for myself. Perhaps a little more expensive than some other local places but well worth it. The owner is very intuitive and she even gave me a brief neck and shoulder massage at the end and... More
The spa itself is very clean and charming, and the staff is very nice. I got a pedicure which was really great and a manicure which was less than great...the person doing both was obviously very skilled, but I think the nail polish might have been too old or something since it looked thick and caked on and seemed hard...

I book here as my hotel recommendation but it's really terrible when staying here. Therapist's attitude is too bad even spa owner (I don't think she is). The room is too small and it's too noisy in the evening and the owner doesn't care this much. After that I must to move my next 3 times to another spa to... More
Went here with my aunt, uncle and boyfriend. The pedicure I received was very good - however my boyfriend had a back massage and said the girl kept stopping to text!!!! He said it happened about 5 times and as she left the phone next to his head it kept vibrating in his face - what was she thinking??!! Also,... More
Bhi (Bee?) the owner has made a charming, clean spa. I had a really enjoyable massage from Bhi in one of the upstairs rooms. I asked for a gentle one & that's what I got. She's clearly experienced & she lingered over a couple of my achy spots a little longer which was great. As with other places in Vietnam... More
I chose this place because it was close to our hotel. It was quaint, clean and pleasant. I asked for a hard and strong back massage and that was what I got. The only thing was there was nowhere to get undressed, but this seems to be normal in Vietnam. I would definitely go back again.
My wife and I had services done here - she a detoxing facial and me a foot wrap (not the foot rub but something more skin to a leg facial). The staff were very friendly and we enjoyed our services greatly. My wife said that during her facial she received some facial reflexology that was different than anything she has... More
The massage I got was OK and felt good, the only thing is that during the massage the massager went away a few times, it was only shortly but felt a bit weird.

length: 22 3/8"
What do you get when a Philippines smith gets hold of a nice solid captured
Japanese katana and decides that it would be much better as a brass handled
short sword? (That's a rhetorical question, you don't have to answer aloud).
Definetly one of the most interesting pieces I've seen come out of the
Philippines and WWII. The blade is quite solid and meaty, was an impressive
katana at one time. It's now been cut down from the business end on back,
and remounted into a heavy brass handgrip with integral curved quillons. Balance
point is 1" up from the crossguard, and this sucka just *flows* through cuts
and slices. Scabbard was likely the original for this blade, now also cut
down to match the length. Definete hamon line visible in some areas of the blade
blade: 16 7/8"
blade width: 1 1/16"
grip: 5 1/2"
guard: 2 1/2"

Festival of Dead Deer reunite for a night
...a Three One G/Planet B night at Blonde Bar
Chad Deal 6 p.m., March 28
Anvil frontman Steve "Lips" Kudlow addressed the audience early in the set: "I just want to thank each and every one of you for being here and making our dreams come true." With a kind crowd response, the Canadian trio launched into the title track from their album This Is Thirteen. The track's plodding riff and slamming drums instigated the mass hoisting of index and pinky fingers high above heads in the universal symbol for "Metal!" As the waves of the last cymbal crash washed over us, the crowd roared approval. The three men onstage looked overjoyed if a bit shocked at the response. It was a rock and roll moment. Kudlow took the time to introduce "the group's newest member, after 14 years, Glenn 5 on bass." The energetic "Bombs Away" followed.
Later in the set, Kudlow fiddled with tuning his guitar, saying, "I hate loose g strings" and lifted his eyebrows to alert the audience of the intended double-entendre.
Kudlow told the story of he and drummer Robb Reiner going to see Black Sabbath in 1977 and that this band Van Halen opened up. "You know, before Rob and I even had the band, we were just kids who listened to Black Sabbath. Well, we're still kids who listen to Black Sabbath. This one was inspired by them. This is called 'Thumb Hang.'" It was a labored effort that lacked Sabbath's swing and the show was getting hung up as well. To the rescue came Reiner, the group's rock, with a solo that included each of his eight drums and as many cymbals. Sticks twirling, Reiner kicked out the jams, his bass drums creating shock waves that made my sleeves ripple.
The band played "Mad Dog," "Forged in Fire," and their standard "Metal on Metal" before bidding San Diego goodnight. The crowd called Anvil back, and Lips promised to shake each and every one of our hands after the show. They encored with "Jack Hammer."
Hey Metal Heads,
House of Blues SD has all your favorites coming up...Kreator 3/24, Hammerfall 3/28, Fear Factory 4/11, VNV 4/14, Overkill 4/21 and Mastadon 5/5! Dont miss the chance to rock.

Hello Annie!
There's so much here to gladden our hearts! I smiled a broad smile when I saw your first picture: Pierre Ronsard is our local poet and every year we visit the priory where he spent his last years. There is an amazing rose festival held there in May. Those delightful Pierre Ronsard roses grow pretty much everywhere around Tours where we live.
Happy Day to you!

Pierre Ronsard is a beautiful rose, and the rest of your blooms are lovely. How nice to have all of that growing in your gardens and to be able to enjoy them every day.
Wonderful quilting.

Lovely photos,as usual. Also love Just Joey and have a couple and thought I had bought another by mistake but it is Julia's Rose which I adore. In a pot now but hope to get it in the ground next year.
Have you had a good garden year? Only really flourishing thing here are zucchini. birds got all the fruit, ate it green on the tree, never like that before. - February 6, 2013 at 10:35 PM

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.39 / 5.00 7,370 ViewsYou landed on a hostile planet on your mission to save earth.
Quoted from a jayisgames review:
"e7 is lovingly understated and beautiful, from the rush of wind and light piano track that convey a simultaneous sense of isolation and hope, to the silhouetted foreground scenery overlaying a distant and imaginative landscape. The gameplay is simple, to be sure, but the central mechanic is fun to learn, tricky to master, and wholly satisfying once you've reigned it in. "
- Left and Right arrow to move (or "A" and "D" keys)
- Hold and Release Down arrow to jump (or "S" key)
great game
I love the simple but beautiful graphics. The music is a perfect match
However, I'm syuck at lvl 18 since wall jumping is difficult.
The beautiful, sleek graphics and the gentle, flowing score coupled with the unique, intuitive, and well-programmed game mechanics made this game an absolute winner. The only time I ever felt frustrated at all was during the pit level where there's an enemy floating in the middle. Twice I was killed by its lasers moments before delivering the final blow!
The message was clear-cut and powerful, the game was fun, the music was beautiful... best game I've played in a long time.
My god...
Challenging, Stimulating, Enthralling and Refreshing, I couldn't believe how in love i was with an antagonist like THAT!
Loved the gameplay, loved the planet, the effects, the enemies, the narrator...
One question- I wasn't watching the timer at the end. There was an explosion and then credits came on, does that mean you die no matter what?
I enjoyed the music very much
wow, it was very inspirating....
the simplicity of the grafics and the enemies are really admirable (i believe that the best games are the best because of a good point, not good graphics...) and i loved the poem...it made me feel how much risk took this little hero to save his world, even if he must paid it with the life....
and the music irradiates so much power...
(i want to draw right now...)
you have my 10

It turned out beautifully Lizzie!! I love that gorgeous fabric you used - it seems really breezy for warm weather, but also a great wardrobe staple for layering. love it!!
Can't wait to see the other versions you have planned :)LIzzie, this is really cute.. I can't wait to see what you make next.. Bet the sleevless version will be cute. It is fall here , and getting cold..SO the cute summer stuff is over..[oh I dread winter,ha]
I have not done any of these patterns either.. Really cute.. It is similar to the colette violet pattern.Really nice, cute and practical wardrobe staple - I'm sure you'll get loads of use out of it! I really like the placket, it looks very professional! :)
I haven't tried any Megan Nielsen patterns yet either, but this one seems to be very popular! ^__^Love this top its so pretty for summer! Looks fantastic and I love the fabric. So the pattern was worth it by the sounds!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so, so cute! I love it! The neckline is really flattering on you, and the print, too! I'm making one right now-- it sure is popular!
