Can someone help translate this?
My grandfather's sister embroidered this table runner in 1922. My cousin had it framed and it is hanging in her dining room. We know it's lovely, but none of us understand exactly what it says. Can someone translate this for us?

Georgia,its an expression,common to our folks:το πεπρωμένο συγειν αδύνατα- it means you can not escape fate-ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for your help.Delete
Το πεπρωμένον φυγείν αδύνατον, meaning "It's impossible to escape fate." Τhe script is cursive and narrow-spaced, so some consecutive letters are almost joined into one, as in the case of the final letter of the phrase "ν," which is joined to the preceeding "o" giving the appearance of "a," a fact which confused the previous person to give an answer.Delete

"This design looks exactly the same in person as on the website. I loved the simple design. We are having our wedding on New Year's Eve so it fit in with the season perfectly."
"This invitation met my every expectation. The design is unique and the paper and printing are top quality. The entire process was flawless. The finished product is just beautiful."
"My invitations arrived quickly and I loved them straight away. The whole process was smooth, professional and a flawless product. Thankyou for making the changes I requested. I added a poem to the front and put text on the back of the invite. I was also able to change the background colour to white and heart colour to red. I felt like we had created a very beautiful invite unique to us."
"We were able to personalive this card by adding extra information and then having it re-centered. This is was done quickly and without problems! The quality of the paper is very elegant. My guests loved them! Also, if you order the rsvp cards, they will fit in the invitation's envelope."
"I am so happy that my fiance and I ordered our invitations from Wedding Paper Divas! This design was perfect for our wedding, and they did an excellent job customizing it to fit our wants and needs. The paper and print quality is wonderful, especially for such affordably-priced products. I will definitely recommend Wedding Paper Divas to my friends."

You need to make sure that any Contractor you do business with has proven himself in the past and will be there if you need him in the future. Don't just ASK the contractor if he is stable; look for the tangible proof of longevity and financial stability in a company. Look for businesses that have their own fabrication warehouse with a CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems. Workers should be factory trained employees, not sub–contractors, who comply with stringent company standards and produce higher quality products more reliably. Lastly, companies that are both more stable and reliable maintain their own fleet of insured, marked vehicles which cause less maintenance hassles and service delays for customers.

Cars for Girls, Carz4Girlz - Because GirlZ Are Car CraZy Too!
By Ilyse Gordon and Friends
The Auto Channel
Louisville Bureau
Over the years opinions about cars seemed to enter my family's conversations no matter what we were talking about… and although there are lots of great auto journalists writing for The Auto Channel, I thought that some of you out there would like to hear which cars and models my sisters and I think meet the needs and likes of Girlz.
GirlZ? Yeah I know, but please excuse the z, we all tried to tell dad that spelling girls with a z is kind of cheesy but hey he is still dad and sometimes we have to humor him… so the url of this new editorial section is www.Carz4Girlz.com, it may be cheesy but we hope that this section of The Auto Channel will be adopted by female viewers who agree or disagree with our opinions and fill in the blanks with opinions of their own…just e mail them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will make sure that they get published and linked to the car in your comments.
Now that I am 18 I was finally allowed to attend the media preview of a major auto show, and because all things were working in my favor I was able to travel to the 2005 Chicago Auto Show, and spend some time with the other journalists who were there to absorb and get the scoop on new models and options.
I am by no stretch of the imagination an expert in which cars are the best mechanically, and which can handle the most G force(that's a G for gravity not Girlz), but I will tell you this, I know what I like, and have always had a knack to lead the fashion pack…so here goes… opinions of the cars that I think girls will like…voila www.Carz4Girlz.com; I hope you enjoy.

- The Surrey Comet looks back
- The centenary of the outbreak of World War I
- Exhibition at the Rose Theatre
This is one in a series of features looking back at our area's involvement in the First World War.
The stories, including of mobilisation, stranded holidaymakers, and the tale of a lonely prisoner of war, were uncovered in the Surrey Comet archives by researcher Sarah Hayward.
- "Useless slaughter"
The Battle of Loos, in September and October 1915, was the largest British offensive on the Western front, and an especially bloody one.
Nearly 60,000 casualties were sustained – with thousands lost in "useless slaughter" at the battle of the Hohenzollern Redoubt, where one officer of the East Surreys won a Victoria Cross.
Then-Lieutenant Arthur Fleming-Sandes won the honour after rallying his men, pinned down by machine gun fire, by pelting German soldiers with grenades despite being "severely wounded almost at once" after jumping on to a parapet overlooking their position.
Arthur Fleming-Sandes' medals. Pic: Surrey Infantry Museum
Mr Fleming-Sandes, born in Tulse Hill, survived the war, becoming involved in the Sudan government and the judiciary.
After moving back to England he died in May 1961, aged 66.
Three brothers, of the Ninth battalion of the East Surreys, also took part in the battle.
One died, one survived, and one was declared missing.
Private CF Harris, Lance Corporal GW Harris and Sergeant JC Harris, formerly of Acre Road, Kingston, enlisted together.
Private Harris, 19, died of wounds he sustained during action at Loos, while Sgt Harris was last seen during the charge on the village when the unit was under a hail of German machine gun fire.
Their parents, then of Gomer Place in Teddington, received the news some time later.
The boys had attended St Luke's School in Kingston.
L Cpl Harris, an apprentice in the Mercantile Marine, was also wounded, but was treated back at base and transferred to an entrenching battalion where he continued to serve.
- A boy's generosity
From the Surrey Comet, February 1915
A Thames Ditton boy gave up his savings for captured soldiers of the East Surreys held prisoner in a camp half an hour outside Berlin.
Douglas Gain, 13, of Vine Cottage, answered a plea in the Surrey Comet from one of the prisoners, who had written to Lt Col Treeby, commanding officer at the regimental depot in Kingston, see article below.
Private J Johnson wrote: "Kindly excuse me writing you, but I have no relatives or friends in England to write to, and I am a prisoner of war in Germany, having been captured on August 23, 1914.
"I have not had a parcel or any cigarettes sent me, so would you kindly forward me some; if not, then a few shillings. I will refund to you when I return home."
The Comet reported the week later that young Master Gain sent half a dozen khaki handkerchiefs, one pair of mittens, 100 cigarettes, 1lb each of toffee, peppermints and chocolates, and some books.
Private Johnson was a prisoner at Doberitz, where 80 East Surrey men were held at the time.
After receiving his letter, the Comet wrote: "We commend the lonely soldier's pathetic appeal to the generosity of our readers, and we are sure he will not have written in vain."
No letters to the prisoners were permitted, only postcards. Parcels did not require postage, but a post office form had to be filled in for each one sent.
- What is this all about?
The features tie in with an audio-visual exhibit at the Rose Theatre, to open in September, based on the campaign by Edwardian author John Galsworthy for better conditions for injured servicemen.
Galsworthy was born in Kingston Hill and worked as a hospital orderly. Eventually he set up the first magazine for disabled servicemen.
Organisers are also asking readers with a connection to the Great War to get in touch.
If you have any family memorabilia, stories or memories from the First World War visit digitaldrama.org for more information, or contact Kate Valentine on 07786 142330 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The deadline for contributions is Friday, March 28.

DETROIT - Tom and Paulette Duggins have raised more than 75 children, foster and biological ones.
The Duggins are also deeply involved with Down Syndrome. They've raised Molly, whom they took in when she was three months old. She just turned 15 years old.
"We call her our little onion because she is like peeling some layers," Paulette said.
Paulette works with the Down Syndrome Guild of Southeast Michigan to help other parents cope with what to expect with a Down Syndrome child.
You wonder where one couple gets such motivation to touch so many lives.
"We wanted all the kids to understand that ,regardless of their circumstances or family situation, that someone did love them out there," Paulette said.
So, what makes a family? Simple: A loving embrace.
About the only draw back for the Duggins is keeping the names straight.
"I have a family prayer list and there are 266 names on it," Tom said.
Raising so many children others have not, Tom and Paulette Duggins are also raising the Heart Of Detroit.

The battle hots up. Luxembourg has challenged Spain's self-proclaimed right to a place in the European Central Bank's top management team. The Grand Duchy on Friday announced it would nominate Yves Mersch, the country's central bank governor, for the upcoming vacancy on the ECB's six-man executive board.
As Money Supply reported earlier this week, Madrid has already nominated Antonio Sáinz de Vicuña, a Spanish ECB veteran who heads its legal department, to replace José Manuel González-Páramo, his compatriot , whose eight-year term on the executive board ends in May.
The contest may prove an unwelcome distraction as eurozone leaders seek to combat the region's debt crisis. But this could be a battle fought at the highest level. Read more

equal protection: an overview
The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from denying any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. See U.S. Const. amend. XIV (http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html). In other words, the laws of a state must treat an individual in the same manner as others in similar conditions and circumstances. A violation would occur, for example, if a state prohibited an individual from entering into an employment contract because he or she was a member of a particular race. The equal protection clause is not intended to provide "equality" among individuals or classes but only "equal application" of the laws. The result, therefore, of a law is not relevant so long as there is no discrimination in its application. By denying states the ability to discriminate, the equal protection clause of the Constitution is crucial to the protection of civil rights. See Civil Rights and Discrimination.
Generally, the question of whether the equal protection clause has been violated arises when a state grants a particular class of individuals the right to engage in activity yet denies other individuals the same right. There is no clear rule for deciding when a classification is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has dictated the application of different tests depending on the type of classification and its effect on fundamental rights. Traditionally, the Court finds a state classification constitutional if it has "a rational basis" to a "legitimate state purpose." The Supreme Court, however, has applied more stringent analysis in certain cases. It will "strictly scrutinize" a distinction when it embodies a "suspect classification." In order for a classification to be subject to strict scrutiny, it must be shown that the state law or its administration is meant to discriminate. Usually, if a purpose to discriminate is found the classification will be strictly scrutinized if it is based on race, national origin, or, in some situations, non U.S. citizenship (the suspect classes). In order for a classification to be found permissible under this test it must be proven, by the state, that there is a compelling interest to the law and that the classification is necessary to further that interest. The Court will also apply a strict scrutiny test if the classification interferes with fundamental rights such as first amendment rights, the right to privacy, or the right to travel. The Supreme Court also requires states to show more than a rational basis (though it does not apply the strictly scrutiny test) for classifications based on gender or a child's status as illegitimate.
The 14th amendment is not by its terms applicable to the federal government. Actions by the federal government, however, that classify individuals in a discriminatory manner will, under similar circumstances, violate the due process of the fifth amendment. See U.S. Const. amend.

2013 Mazda Mazda2 Values
Largely unchanged for 2013, the Mazda2 is a sub-compact five door hatchback with seating for five. The FWD Mazda2 is powered by a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 100 hp and 98 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options consist of a standard 5-speed manual and an optional 4-speed automatic. Fuel mileage impressively falls within an EPA estimated range of 28 mpg city to 35 mpg highway, depending on transmission selection. Features include rear spoiler, 15-inch wheels, remote keyless entry, steering-wheel mounted controls, 6-speaker sound system, and a 12-volt power outlet. Safety is comprised of advanced airbags, anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), dynamic stability control (DSC), traction control (TCS), and tire pressure monitoring (TPMS). The Mazda2 is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.Read more Read less
Mazda Resources:
The Mazda2 carries over into 2013 mostly unchanged. A USB port is now standard with both trims and new colors are available.
Small size, low price, high-quality materials inside and out, excellent handling, great fuel economy
The 2013 Mazda2 is aimed directly at dominating the subcompact economy car market, taking on competitors such as the Chevrolet Aveo, Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit and Nissan Versa. Like the competition, the car offers a pared down feature set, an engine that makes around 100 horsepower as well as excellent fuel economy numbers. Unlike the competition, the Mazda2 offers surprisingly sporty handling, a roomy and practical interior, standard keyless entry, stability and traction control and a USB-outlet-equipped stereo.

Rejoice as baseball is back. The Mets' pitchers and catchers, some automatic starters and others vying for some limited spots on the roster, report in less than an hour in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
As they prepare to warm up their arms and try to start developing some rapport on Saturday when the workouts begin, we'll be keeping an eye out for injuries.
The 2010 season has kicked off with bang, or should I say a knee, as Carlos Beltran could be out for a few months of the regular season after he underwent controversial surgery on his arthritic joint.
Not to start the news season on a sour note, but this is the Mets we are talking about. Whom do you think will be next on the injury report?

Torrijos - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkWhat about OS X support? Reply
Ryan Smith - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkThat's up to Apple. Reply
Kevin G - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkI was under the impression that Intel's integrated GPU's already had OpenCL drivers under OS X. What was lacking under OS X would be CPU drivers so that OpenCL work can be split across both architectures. I think that this is Intel's first OpenCL driver for Ivy Bridge as a CPU so there is hope that this may come to OS X. Reply

It's the opposite. Apple supports OpenCL on all CPUs back to the Core 2 Duo in Mountain Lion, but they don't yet support GPU OpenCL for the HD4000. Reply
tipoo - Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - linkWhat about non-Intel chips like the 320M? Reply
_9876 - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkSnow Leopard and later supports OpenCL on the 320M - even back to the 9400M and 8800M Nvidias. On the AMD side, support goes back to the 4600 series. Reply
ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - link"Support in dual adapter mode on Windows* 8: enables OpenCL workloads to be accelerated on Intel HD Graphics when the device is not directly connected to a display and fully enabled running Intel driver.
I found the above the most interesting in the release notes as a consumer. Hopefully this will mean enthusiasts with discrete GPUs will eventually be able to make use of their Intel IGP as a co-processor for things like physics acceleration in games if OpenCL gets more adoption. It'd be great if Windows 7 got dual adapter mode support too. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkCan we have a small shootout of Intel OpenCL drivers VS AMD OpenCL drivers on AMD and Intel CPU's ? Last time i checked, AMD OpenCL drivers on Intel CPU's performed better than Intel drivers. Reply
extide - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkAMD's OpenCL drivers are for AMD GPU's not for the HD4000 Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkAMD's OpenCL drivers work on Sandy Bridge and below CPU's as a emulation of a GPU. The same way Intels OpenCL drivers enable OpenCL on SandyVridge CPU's, by emulating a compute GPU. Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkOpenCL is for computiong devices, not just GPUs. Hence the drivers don't need to "emulate a GPU", but rather just to return the results of the computations asked from them. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkCheck your facts. Intel openCL drivers emulate some instructions on the CPU that teh GPU cant do (because teh iGPU isnt fully OpenCL compliant). Reply
xdrol - Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - linkAMD actually has two OpenCL drivers: one for GPUs, another for CPUs. Intel has these two as well. And just a fun fact: Last time I've checked, AMD's CPU driver was actually faster on Intel CPUs than Intel's CPU driver. Reply
Pontius - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkI do OpenCL development at home and absolutely love it. I always get giddy when I see OpenCL news. I will probably buy one of these new Intel chips, as well as an AMD GPU and experiment with running OpenCL programs on each. I'm currently working with an nVidia card and am happy with it, however it bothers the hell out of me how they are not so subtly snubbing OpenCL. They *need* to keep supporting it. If not, why are they on the OpenCL Khronos board? Reply
500MM - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - link"Support in dual adapter mode on Windows* 8: enables OpenCL workloads to be accelerated on Intel HD Graphics when the device is not directly connected to a display and fully enabled running Intel driver. "
Is this a completely new feature, or is it an existing feature for Windows 7? Reply
Oberoth - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkIs OpenCL totally different to QuickSync?
Are we over the days of QuickSync not working if you have another GPU on your PC? Back in the Sandy Bridge days QuickSync only worked when you had a monitor attached to one of its outputs, is this still the case with Ivy and Haswell?
I will be buying a Haswell set up when it's out but will also be using a dedicated GPU, will the GPU on the CPU still function? Will software like Handbrake and Prem Pro still have access to QuickSync and OpenCL on my Haswell CPU?
Also there is often concerns over quality from GPU assisted encoding, is this still the case with Open CL? What would be a better option (mainly quality but also speed) new upper mid-range AMD or nVidia card or sticking with QuickSync or disabling all GPU acceleration and purely using x86? Reply
500MM - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkQuickSync is a video encoder. OpenCL is a programming language. You can't really compare the two. Reply
Oberoth - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkThanks.
Any idea what hardware a piece of OpenCL written software would use if i had both a Haswell chip and a modern AMD card in my system?
Goes the graphics chip on an Intel CPU get used if you have a dedicated graphics card installed? Reply
Gigaplex - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkIt depends. Virtu MVP is licensed on a variety of motherboards and it allows running QuickSync on the iGPU while the system uses a dGPU. It's possible that it will also allow running OpenCL on the iGPU, but the dGPU will usually be much faster at it. Reply
xdrol - Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - linkEach device will show up in the OpenCL framework as a separate device - you will probably have 3 devides: the GPU, the iGPU and the CPU. Whatever the software selects, will get used. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - linkStill no support of OpenGL 4.3? Come on, Intel. We can't treat you seriously in the graphics space if you can't provide full OpenGL support for game developers that want to port their games across platforms. Reply
Spirall - Sunday, May 05, 2013 - link"Support for features like Intel Quick Sync Video and OpenCL in systems with discrete
graphics on Windows 8. Now, one can use both Intel Quick Sync Video and OpenCL even
when Intel HD Graphics is not the primary display adapter.
This requires Intel Graphics driver to be installed and will work only on Windows 8 platforms."
Would that mean we now can use the iGPU for Quick Sync and openCL stuff in P67 motherboards? Reply

Some of us have seen the pictures a 15-year-old youngster took of a wedding reception brawl in a hotel lobby The uncle of one of the wedding party died of a heart attack, for goodness sake. Some of us wonder what is going on with the younger generation? Didn't anyone teach them manners, respect for others and constraint?
But what about older adults? We see people being rude to servers in restaurants and personnel who work at pharmacies. Others report of people pushing in line with carts and electric scooters, belching and making other rude noises, and complaining about everything and everyone. There are adult tantrums and folks acting as if they own the world and everything in it. Wait! We aren't talking about children. The older adults are doing this!
We have to take the heat for our own bad manners and of the younger generation. We need to take responsibility for not role modeling good behavior.
Those one-room schoolhouses and small schools were a place to learn taking your turn and looking out for others. Many of us had live-in grandparents who took the time to not only teach us to cook, knit and fish but also table manners, civility and a certain amount of graciousness that our folks didn't have time to show us.
We can mind our manners and reflect civility wherever and whenever we interact with others. Just because we are older, does not give us the right to be rude. No one owes us anything, folks.
Maybe younger ones are so stressed by modern life they are unable to deal with disappointment and not having it their way. Did we skip the lesson to our kids that life can be full of sadness, conflict, delayed gratification, and most importantly, failure?
We can help with the frustrating events of modern life and soften the blows by interacting with our grandkids and kids by being really present in their lives. We can talk to them and assure them their conversations are confidential. We can interact with young people by respecting their opinion and their concerns. From my own experience, I know that young people want rules and boundaries to help them weave their way through sometimes scary times. Be sure to acknowledge courtesy and good manners each and every time you see it.
It starts with our families and helping our kids help their kids learn manners. We can step in and explain to our grandkids that life does come with disappointment, loss, strife and failure. We can soften that blow by telling them examples of ourselves or others who persevered, took a breath and waited, and knew they might not win each and every time.
We must stop believing that we all need to be first every single time.
In some very primitive cultures, there are established standards how young people will behave toward their elders and others in the social and family setting. Adults correct others' children without fear of recrimination. Their survival depends on it.
Maybe we are not as sophisticated or advanced as we think. Maybe we need to see civility as a way to live safer and with more fun.
Oh yes, and don't forget to be kind ...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's cross country team finished 14th at the Mountain Dew Invitational Saturday morning in Gainesville, Fla. Freshman Kelsey Bradley (Denver, Colo.) for the third meet this season, led the Lions individually crossing the line 64th of 125 runners with a time of 20:46.56. The Lions finished with a team score of 369 points and clocked in with a final time of 1:51:49.48 in the 5K race.
The freshman Bradley has impressed all season and just her male counterpart Buezeville, has staked a claim as one of the top runners in the SSC. She finished just a touch over three minutes behind the meet champion from the University of Florida.
Allison Luthman (Ramstein, Germany) and Julie Carusone (High Spring, Fla.) both finished in the top 100. Luthman finished with a time 21:39.12, while Carusone crossed the tape at 22:44.62.
Three other SLU runners were determined to cross the line. Alison Cary (Mechanic Falls, Ma.), Dana Graham (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) and Mindy Pierce (Germany) displayed the fortitude to cross the line and helped add to the Lions team total score.
Sunshine State Conference opponents the University of Tampa and Nova Southeastern University also competed finishing third and ninth respectively. Champions, the University of Florida, finished five minutes in front of the University of South Florida, who finished second.
The Lions race to their final regular season event before the SSC Championships, at the Disney Invitational from Orlando, Fla. The race is scheduled to begin at 8:55 a.m.

A PLAN to target the progeny of Fastnet Rock broodmares may take trainer Pat Carey all the way to the Blue Diamond Stakes after a brilliant winning debut by Donna Madeira at Sandown on Wednesday spoilt a plunge on another Blue Diamond aspirant.
Donna Madeira showed blistering speed to lead throughout in the 900-metre scamper, denying the heavily backed John Sadler-trained debutante Sworn Revenge ($1.80 favourite), who earlier in the day had been backed from $51 to $13 to win Victoria's richest race for juveniles next month.
The ease of Donna Madeira's win forced her Blue Diamond quote to be slashed from $151 to $26.
With the progeny of Fastnet Rock selling for small fortunes at yearling sales in the past two years, Carey decided that he would punt on Fastnet Rock broodmares rather than join the spending spree, and managed to secure a small but well-bodied yearling filly, by Henrythenavigator, for $105,000 at last year's Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale.
''Gee, she just flew out of the gates,'' the Mornington trainer said. ''She's not big but she is so sharp and she reminds me a bit of a horse called Rollicks, who was a very fast sprinting mare in the 1970s.
''They [Sworn Revenge backers] were obviously entitled to be confident, and the [Sadler] stable had a good yardstick in their winner [Ms Funovits] at Flemington last weekend. What that means for this filly though, I'm not sure yet. She's from one of the best families in the Australian Stud Book and when you see a family like that perform for a quarter of a century, it gives you a lot of confidence.''
In winning on debut, Donna Madeira emulated the deeds of her dam, San Cristobel, who also won over 900 metres on debut. Unfortunately, San Cristobel only had four more starts before being retired.
Winning jockey Rhys McLeod was suspended for eight meetings for causing interference to Glen Boss and Sworn Revenge at the 600-metre mark. He can resume riding on January 28.
■Michelle Payne will return to race riding at Hobart on Sunday after completing her recovery from injuries suffered in a fall at Ararat four months ago.

No one appears to be up from Hartford for tonight, unless that player made the very bold and very unwise decision to skip today's optional skate.
But I doubt it. More likely the Rangers will use Jason Strudiwck at forward, presumably on the fourth line, and bump Ryan Hollweg up to the third.
Curiously, there is, however, a new face at practice, and it is a diminutive goaltender who I'm 99 percent sure is not in the Rangers system but a goalie for nearby Manhattanville College. The reason he'd be here is because Henrik Lundqvist likes to skip optional skates, so this allows the Rangers to use two goalies.
I'll have more on all of this in a bit…

The elder son received £3000.
The rest was shared equally between whomever remained.
How much did they each get?
AnswerThere is just one other son who takes the remaining £2000.

Dear Ray,
When I told my next -door neighbor we are selling our house, she mentioned that she knows a few people who might be interested in doing what she termed a "private sale," before it's officially on the market.
Can you tell me what the relative advantages and disadvantages would be?
The main advantage of selling your home "privately" is the savings of the fee (commission) paid to the real estate agents. Beyond the savings of the real estate commission, I believe there are more disadvantages to selling your home privately.
In a typical real estate sale, there are two agents involved: the listing agent, who represents the seller, and the buyer's agent. A private sale, where the property is not listed, may involve no agents; hence, the costs associated with selling are reduced. However, a private sale often involves one or even two agents, as the buyer and the seller usually need the assistance of an agent to handle all the paperwork.
I've participated in private sales as the seller's agent and, at different times, as the buyer's agent. When an agent isn't involved in negotiations or preparation of documents, then an attorney will usually handle the sale. (I've never known a private sale that didn't involve at least one Realtor or attorney, unless it was quit-claim deed between family members, for example.)
There are several reasons a seller might want to have a sale handled privately. For example, there may be a buyer (a neighbor or friend) that is already known to the seller. In that case, there is no need to list the property and seek other buyers. As the sale is "not arm's length," the price may be less than the market value because the buyer is known or related to the seller.
Or a seller might have been approached by a buyer (or a Realtor acting on behalf of a buyer) who knocks on their door, unsolicited, and inquires about buying the home. In this situation, when a buyer has presented him or herself, it may be possible to negotiate a private sale.
In some situations, a seller might not have enough equity in the home to pay for the services of a real estate agent or closing costs and would need to seek a buyer privately, or sell the home "for-sale-by-owner."
Losing out
In terms of advantages, it pretty much comes down to selling costs. Some private sales will have lower costs for the seller. Beyond the cost savings, I can't think of any other reasons why you'd want to sell privately. In fact, I believe there are more disadvantages to private sale.
For example, how will you determine the value of your home? In a private sale, the value is often determined by appraisal. An appraisal only considers historic sales in your market area. In a normal real estate market, with prices trending higher, the value of your home will be higher today than it was six months ago.
Although an appraisal is the opinion of an expert, it is only an opinion of one person. And an appraisal is no substitute for exposing your property to the opinions of many thousands of agents and buyers.
In contrast, when you list your home with an agent through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), you expose the home to the marketplace. That's thousands of Realtors and buyers. By exposing your home to broadest audience, you increase the odds of a sale and a sale at a price that is determined by the market.
In the current Seattle real estate market, the shortage of listings means every house is receiving a lot of attention when it hits the market — a seller's market. In a recent example, a Wallingford home listed for $590,000 received multiple offers, which pushed the final sale price to $740,000. Knowing this, why would any homeowner consider a private sale?
Suppose the example above was your home? Imagine you accepted an offer from a buyer in a private sale. You agree to a price of $590,000, and you ask your agent to handle all paperwork. With just one real estate agent involved, you've saved the selling commission of 3 percent (more than $17,000). Saving half the commission seems like a good deal for you. In this example, you saved $17,000 in costs, but you lost the opportunity of the marketplace, leaving $150,000 in equity behind.
You can do the math. It would have been wiser to list the home through an agent.
In today's real estate market, it would be unwise to sell your home privately. My advice: List your home with an experienced Realtor via the local MLS, and let the market determine the value of your home.

Scott_T - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkI guess no one told them you see 120gb drives going to $50-60 all the time now on sale. Reply
hulu - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkWhy compare one product's MSRP to another's street/sale price?
All you can compare currently are the MSRPs. Or wait until this becomes available and the prices settle to compare street prices. Reply
bernstein - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkMSRP = *desired* retail price...
another comparison: MX100 512gb goes for ~$210... Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkIf those 50-60$ are "sale" prices you might see similar discounts compared to the MSRP of the ARC. And almost 400 MB/s write for a modern 120 GB SSD is extremely fast.. others stay below 200 MB/s. Reply
hojnikb - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkWell its really due to a trick called performance mode (from way back in the vertex4 deays). Reply
lmcd - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkThe real problem is that the 480 GB Vertex is currently priced at $240 as well. With more accessories and better performance. Reply
CaedenV - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkNobody here is going to buy one of these drives at 50 cents/GB, because nobody here is going to buy a SSD from the likes of a mainstream retail chain. On websites that cater to bulk cheap nerd sales these will sell for substantially less, and the price will of course drop over time as well.
We all have OCZ to thank for pushing SSD prices below the $1/GB mark, maybe with drives like this we will have them to thank for seeing prices drop below the $0.25/GB mark in the next year or two. Reply
lilmoe - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkDat endurance rating.... Reply
robbertbobbertson - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkfor reference this is like 21.4 TB endurance, an 840 EVO is like 70-80 TB endurance Reply
hojnikb - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkThis needs to be cheaper than MX100 to be even remotly interesting. Lack of caps, encryption and worse performance can justfiy the same or even higher pricetag as mx100. Reply
hojnikb - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkcan't* Reply
harrynsally - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkAfter following SSD development for 4 years, not only has the cost substantially gone down, their storage capacity has gone up and reliability has dramatically improved.
Finally installed my first SSD, a Crucial MX100 256GB, because it had a great price ($.40/GB) and stellar user reviews (90% 5 stars at NewEgg, Amazon etc.). Reply
harrynsally - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkI would strongly suggest avoiding the value SSD manufacteurs such as OCZ, Kingston and PNY.
The above are well know for bait and switch practice, poor support and/or customer satisfaction (e.g. check the reviews).
So many superior choices that include Samsung, Cruical and Sandisk. Reply
harrynsally - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkI strongly suggest avoiding all the value brands, which include OCZ, Kingston, PNY etc.
Each of the above has exhibited far to many shady practices, poor customer support and/or satisfaction, when there are so many other superior manufacturers of client SSDs (e.g. Samsung, Crucial, Sandisk) to consider.
For example: http://mobile.extremetech.com/latest/221524-ssd-sh... Reply

Paul has been a familiar face to cyclists attending events and activities in the Yorkshire region and nationally within Cycling UK for many years, active with his local District Association, as a Right to Ride representative and on the York Cycle Show committee.
His particular strength has always been in publicity and marketing where he has made himself one of the voices of cycling in York.
His nomination for this award recognises that even by Paul's high standards 2005 was a busy and successful year.
As a campaigner he has been working closely with rail company GNER which has seen them pick up awards in two successive years for services to cyclists – nominated for initiatives proposed by Paul.
But his most challenging role has been taking on the chairmanship of the York Cycle Show at a very demanding time because the event was disrupted by Royal Ascot coming to York. Under his leadership a new show co-ordinator has been appointed and the show is looking forward to a strong future.

Re: Poincaré Map
Hi, if you have the AC/DC Module there is an example which uses Poincaré maps in the Model Library:
Model Library>AC/DC Module>Particle Tracing>magnetic_lens
The Poincaré map is not specific to any of the particle tracing interfaces, so you can also see the models:
Model Library>Particle Tracing Module>Tutorial Models>rossler_attractor
Model Library>Particle Tracing Module>Fluid Flow>laminar_mixer_particle
for examples of how to create Poincaré maps.

Re: Poincaré Map
Hi! I am trying to use Matlab to generate the Poincare Map and store the data in a text or .xls file. Do you have any suggestions as to how to set it up to make sure it's being done correctly?
Thank you!

Sedona Getaway Information
Found off of 17 Highway, Sedona vacation home rentals are in Arizona, located in the northern area of the Grand Canyon State. Voted the most beautiful place in America by USA Weekend, Sedona is famous for being characteristic red rock country. Over a hundred movies and television shows have been filmed there, and once you see the canyons and buttes, you'll know why.
Recreation interest in Desert Canyon Country is focused on four streams that wind through this classic Upper Sonoran Desert landscape. The Verde River, Arizona's only designated Wild and Scenic River, meanders the entire length of the area and is large enough to navigate in kayaks, canoes and small rafts at high to moderate levels. West Clear Creek, Wet Beaver Creek and Fossil Creek emerge from deep, cottonwood lined canyons they have cut into the Mogollon Rim to continue across the desert and merge with the Verde.
Hiking and camping are favorite recreation activities in Desert Canyon Country. Even more so are splashing, swimming and fishing in the streams that emerge from those wilderness canyons. Whitewater boating is growing in popularity on the Verde River. And here, among deserts and oases, there is an entirely different group of wild animals to watch.

Hollywood fault
Hollywood fault
September 2013 Fault Line Splits Hollywood
Drama Swirls Over Quake-Zone Mapping for Los Angeles Development Project
The Hollywood fault, a 10-mile fracture running beneath the storied neighborhood, hasn't ruptured in at least 7,000 years. But it is causing plenty of upheaval on the surface.
The Millennium Hollywood project, planned for the lot in the foreground, would see two towers rise next to the Capitol Records building, seen in background. A potential fault line is complicating development plans.
The fault has sparked a battle over a $664 million residential and commercial tower project proposed for a site that mayor may nothave the fissure running through it. On one side are the site's developers, who say the fault concerns are overblown and a convenient issue for their critics on the other side, local residents opposed to the project's scale.
The uncertainty over the fault's location has also revealed a disconnect between state earthquake-safety law and local enforcement of that law.
"The way the system is set up doesn't provide very rigorous oversight over whether or not you're building in a dangerous area," said Lucy Jones, senior science adviser for risk reduction for the U.S. Geological Survey, referring to flexibility in local enforcement of safety standards and a lack of government resources.
Since 1972, California law has banned building directly on top of active earthquake faults capable of rupturing the surface. Such faults could rip buildings apart as the two sides of the fault slide past each other in a quake.
But state geologists, charged with mapping thousands of miles of active faults, still haven't mapped them allincluding the Hollywood faultwhich has left L.A. city officials to rely on older and less-detailed maps to make decisions about development.
The city isn't waiting for the state map to push ahead with a $2.5 billion development pipeline in Hollywood meant to transform the scruffy tourist destination into an urban oasisa plan championed by new Mayor Eric Garcetti. The Millennium Hollywood project, with two sleek towers flanking the landmark Capitol Records building, is considered the crown jewel of that effort.
"It's taken 40 years for [the state] to get down here" and map, said Luke Zamperini, spokesman for the department of building and safety. "We have our own geologists. We get a pretty good idea of what's going on."
Developers of the towers submitted an environmental-impact report to the city based on an old city map that showed the fault nearly half a mile from their site. A more recent but less detailed map used by a different city department shows the fault about 200 feet from the site.
John Parrish, the state's geologist, told city officials the fault may run through the site itself, and said the state map would be finished by early next year. This summer, the city council approved the project anyway.
"This is a matter of thousands of lives," said Robert P. Silverstein, the lawyer for a group of Hollywood-area neighborhood associations suing the city and developers to stop the project. "This is a fight to ensure that city hall cannot throw inconvenient laws and facts to the wind."
Mr. Silverstein said the city and developers knowingly ignored other studies showing the fault could run through the site, and provided initial geological testing that was inadequate.
Developers called the allegations "specious." City officials and developers insist the project will be safe and said L.A. won't allow development over a fault.
"This is a manufactured controversy driven by our opponents who would like to stop the project," said Philip Aarons, a founding partner of Millennium Partners, the developer.
Millennium's developers will be required to conduct more testing on the site before they can get building permitsas the state map would have likely required anywaycity officials and developers noted.
Mr. Silverstein says the additional testing wouldn't have happened without neighbors publicly raising concerns about the fault.
California has so far mapped 5,000 miles of active surface faults on 553 maps across the stateor about 60% of the known active surface faults. The maps create study zones around faults. If a development falls within that zone, the developer is required by law to conduct geological testing before building. The state has about 300 more maps to produce.
Some local governments, like Los Angeles, had their own fault-zoning programs, so California "focused its limited funding assets on other population areas," said Mr. Parrish, the state geologist. He said despite the situation in L.A., he believes most local governments are properly enforcing the law.
Local governments have to balance economic development with safety and can't be expected to put development on hold, said Richard McCarthy, head of the state's Seismic Safety Commission. "If the state map's not coming out for five years, that's a problem for local government," he said.
Many communities have produced their own maps while waiting for the state map, or turned to academic or federal government experts for mapping help, but the accuracy varies, seismic safety experts said.
Local officials also have leeway in making decisions about the extent of the geological testing. And, though the state recommends setting a building back at least 50 feet from a fault, local officials can permit developers to build closer to the fault. California, with thousands of active faults, as well as experience with large, devastating quakes, is considered advanced when it comes to earthquake safety regulations and building codes, compared to other quake-prone states.
Scientists believe the Hollywood fault last ruptured between 7,000 and 9,500 years agobarely a long weekend on the geologic time scaleand say the fault is capable of unleashing a 7.0 magnitude quake.
From his office overlooking the site of his future project, with the Hollywood sign framed through a window, Mr. Aarons said he is optimistic about moving ahead, although two lawsuits filed against the project will delay his plans to break ground next year.
On Friday, opponents suing the Millennium project called for an ethics investigation into the city's head of building and safety, which issues construction permits, over a "possibly improper relationship" with developers. Opponents said the department head's son had an internship with the law firm representing the developer at city hall.
A spokesman for the department didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Even if a portion of the fault is found to cross the site, he said, the size of the nearly 4½-acre site allows him flexibility to build so the towers aren't on top of the faultif it is there at all, he said.
"The Hollywood fault is somewhere," Mr. Aarons said. "I think people will feel better when they know where it is. I think I know where it isnt.

The data explosion gains momentum with each passing day, and the storage solutions that help us wrangle our increasing mountains of information grow more and more complex. As I mentioned in my blog a few weeks ago, that complexity can only decrease overall reliability as more and more lines of hastily written code drive the most critical portions of our infrastructure.
All of this puts a much more critical focus on the support that your storage vendor provides. Instead of seeing a broken drive or controller that just needs replacing, I often run across problems in the field that turn out to be software bugs requiring engineering input to diagnose and resolve.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Learn how data deduplication can slow the explosive growth of data with Keith Schultz's Deep Dive Report. | Looking to revise your storage strategy? See InfoWorld's iGuide to the Enterprise Data Explosion. ]
While we're becoming more and more dependent on vendor support to keep the infrastructure humming, the quality and reliability of that support itself seems less and less likely to live up to our expectations.
The way support should work
Though I had to go outside IT to find a great example -- which says something in itself -- I recently had a great experience that reminded me of what enterprise support should be.
A few nights ago, I got home from a long day on the road. As I was heading inside, I noticed an enormous puddle of transmission fluid underneath the front of my truck -- bad news. A quick check showed that there was literally no fluid in the transmission; I was lucky to have made it home at all. One thing was clear: That truck wasn't going anywhere on its own.
Given that it was late at night, there wasn't really anyone I could call, so I dropped an email to my mechanic, let him know what had happened, and asked for advice. First thing in the morning, he called me on my cell phone and said that, based on my description of the problem, he knew what was broken and what the solution would be. He had already dispatched a tow truck to pick it up that morning and would probably have it ready to return to me by the end of the day. He was true to his word.
That kind of above-and-beyond service is rare in any situation, but it is exactly what we should expect from the vendors supporting the mission-critical storage infrastructure on which our entire businesses are built. A direct, knowledgeable response from a known contact with a clear action plan and a set time for problem resolution are key components of superb support.
The way support really works
So how can you guarantee you'll get this kind of service when your organization's electronic livelihood depends upon it?
Honestly, you can't.
Just because you paid for an expensive four-hour onsite response warranty with the SAN you just bought doesn't mean you'll get it. Or rather, that four-hour warranty probably doesn't mean what you think it means. Though terms vary from vendor to vendor, that four-hour response probably means a low-level technician will call you within four hours.
Either that or you're likely to spend at least a few hours running through a support script with someone who has very little understanding of the technology. If the cause of the problem you're experiencing isn't cut and dried (such as obviously broken hardware), you can get stuck in an interminable maze of nonsensical troubleshooting steps before anyone will dispatch a tech on site and really get to work on solving the problem.
Once that's finally done, if you aren't located in or very close to a large city, you can count on a few more hours for a tech to be dispatched, track down parts that he or she needs, and actually arrive. Then the problem still has to be identified and fixed.
Premium vs. "normal" support
Most large storage vendors have a special grade of mission-critical support for situations in which a four- to six-hour fix (at any cost) is required, but such plans tend to be very, very expensive. When you're shopping for a SAN, the cost of these warranties, often more than half of the cost of the device itself, may seem ludicrous. Maybe so -- but make sure you weigh that opinion against the cost to your company of the device being unavailable, while clueless first-tier support folks ask you inane questions.
The reasons why "normal" support is so poor vary. Many times it's a result of the vendor deciding to outsource its support. This usually opens a huge chasm between salespeople who make promises and the staff who are actually responsible for supporting what has been sold.
Unlike my mechanic, the person on the phone isn't actively trying to ensure you come back for more service or to buy a car. In most cases, the company has no skin in the game whatsoever -- it already has your money. Unless you're a huge customer, even the most sternly written complaint will usually be met with disinterest and very little action.
To be sure, much of this depends on who you are dealing with. There are certainly good and bad players out there. When you're buying, you need unbiased opinions on the vendor's reputation. Sadly, that will only get you so far. In the past two years, two major storage vendors I deal with regularly have traded places as the respectively best and worst support providers. Just because a vendor's support is well regarded now doesn't mean it will be in the future.
The lesser of two evils
Given this sorry state of affairs, you basically have two options: Either you purchase exorbitantly priced mission-critical support with a service-level agreement that stipulates a time to resolution -- not response -- and hope it is honored. Or don't count on the support at all and build in your own redundancy.
That second option has become increasingly attractive to many of the clients I work with. Why buy one fallible device and spend half as much again trying to guarantee it will be properly supported when you can buy two for slightly more -- and perhaps implement some geographic redundancy at the same time? With devices lower down the food chain from primary storage, it's common to see a raft of hardware (such as network switches) covered by the lowest-level warranty and protected by a spare device sitting on a shelf.
Whatever your approach to covering yourself, you'd better have one. Unless you're absolutely confident in the SLA that's being offered, don't take a vendor's promise to support you within a certain timeframe as a real solution for maintaining uptime. If the vendor doesn't follow through, you're the one who has to deal with the consequences. Having your own do-it-yourself plan to resolve things quickly -- and follow up with support afterward -- is often the best protection money can buy.

Macquarie Group's private wealth unit stands accused of having similar ''systematic problems'' to that at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and for not co-operating with the Senate committee that delved into unethical adviser practices.
Inquiry chairman Labor senator Mark Bishop and committee member John Williams are calling on the corporate regulator to open a thorough investigation into the Macquarie unit to ensure it is complying with an enforceable undertaking it was dealt in January last year. They also want the Australian Securities and Investments Commission to extend the undertaking, which was due to end after a final assessment in January 2015, to ensure wide-ranging compliance deficiencies are fixed.
Senator Bishop likened the ''systematic problems'' that existed within CBA to those that existed with Macquarie, but noted that CBA's customers consisted of a much broader cross-section of the community. He was also critical of Macquarie's engagement with the committee.
''Arising out of confidential information provided to us, we wrote to Macquarie asking them to address the significant number of complaints we received,'' he told Fairfax Media. ''They wrote back and politely told us to mind our own business.''
Senator Williams said Macquarie still had a myriad of issues to address. ''There are a lot more questions for Macquarie Wealth to answer and they need to look pretty hard in the mirror in terms of their compliance,'' he said. ''We had individuals from Macquarie give evidence to us on camera which unfortunately we are not able to discuss. But, needless to say, there are still serious questions for them to answer.''
The Senate committee's report, which was handed down last month, recommended a royal commission into conflicted financial advice, focusing on conflicts within CBA. But the committee also recommended that ASIC undertake ''intensive surveillance'' of Macquarie Private Wealth to ensure that previous concerns were being addressed and that there were no other compliance failures. The report also called for ASIC's future probing to be ''far more intrusive and less trusting''.
The 2013 enforceable undertaking slapped on Macquarie covered a string of shortcomings within the unit, including a series of lapses in record keeping, risk management and training.
Senator Williams also took aim at Macquarie saying the inquiry found that the banking operations had also engaged in ''predatory lending''.
Macquarie has had nothing to say publicly on the report since it was unveiled. Head of the banking and financial services unit Greg Ward declined to answer any questions when contacted by Fairfax Media.
Macquarie is, however, thought to be implementing new advice documentation, training, and systems. A pilot program is also due to commence for a new advice platform.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and the Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED) director, Debi Durham today announced that international demand remains strong for Iowa's agriculture products. They cited recently released numbers by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) showing that Iowa exported $7.04 billion in agricultural goods in fiscal year 2010.
"Iowa remains the number two state for ag exports as international demand remains strong and our corn, soybeans and meat products have a great reputation around that world," Northey said. "As countries in Asia continue to develop and incomes rise, I expect our exports to continue to grow."
The $7.04 billion in exports in 2010 is up from $6.55 billion in 2009, but still not reaching that $7.38 billion in 2008.
"IDED is committed to helping Iowa companies find new international outlets for their products as increasing trade is key to economic recovery and job creation," said IDED director Debi Durham.
According to the USDA, in 2009, every $1 billion in US agricultural exports required 8,400 American jobs.
Iowa's leading agricultural export is soybeans and soybean products, which was $3.29 billion in 2010. The next two leading products are feed grains and products at $1.87 billion and live animals and meat, excluding poultry, at $1.4 billion.
Other agriculture exports include feeds and fodders ($172.1 million), poultry and products ($66.8 million), dairy products ($59 million), hides and skins ($56.1), and fats, oils and greases ($44.4 million). Other exports include wheat and products, seeds, and other.
Durham and Northey both traveled to South Korea and China with Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds in June to promote Iowa exports with these key Iowa trading partners. A full breakdown of agricultural exports from each state over the last four years can be found on the USDA's website at www.ers.usda.gov/data/stateexports/2011/SX5yr.xls.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Skype sent down an auto-update today. Looks like it's now 184.108.40.206. Regardless, every time I started Skype, it said:
Exception EXMLDocError in module ezPMUtils.dll at 000E8FCA
Reboots, etc. didn't fix it. What did fix it was moving the file ezPMUtils.dll from the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Plugin Manager to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Plugin Manager\MLS. Note that at first I tried copying the file to that folder but that did not fix the issue. Moving the file, however, did "fix" the issue in that the error no longer occurs. But of course, the extras manager also no longer functions. It would be really great to see *something* from the people at Skype about this issue.
Hope this helps someone.
It was also very interesting to notice that the auto-update installer still tried to move me across to Google Chrome, away from Internet Explorer. Obviously Skype isn't really integrated into Microsoft yet :-)

helped me exactly! Thanks.
Thanks, you fix solved the problem for me.
Thanks - this just fixed the same problem for me!
Thanks, helped a lot! :-)
Thanks it worked by moving the file
Thanks, that sorted it :)
Worked for me too. Thanks Greg. One wonders why Skype have not fixed this themselves?.
it's really helped... thanks a lot...
Thanks, it worked fine. Why skype team didn't fix the problem themselves ?
Thanks a lot
thank u so much , it fixed the problem
dont understand why skype dont issue a fix for this :( !
Moving the file ist not a fix. You can also delete the file. After moving or deleting, the Extra-Manager doesnt work anymore. :-(
thank you very mutch!
Many thanks Folks
A better workaround is to go to the Skype Options / Advanced tab and disable starting the Extras Manager at startup
It's all the same result but I just renamed the file by changing from .dll to .dlltemp. This way it's still where I found it until Skype gets on top of what's going on.

Did you know?
The longest ever international cricket match was played between South Africa and England in 1939. It lasted more than 10 days.
Sahara Stadium Kingsmead features an excellent balance of grass embankment and stands, making it the perfect family venue for cricket. There is plenty of space for children to run around, while adults can lie back and catch a tan while they enjoy the action.
Many people who aren't even cricket fans will come to this ground during holiday season to simply soak up the Durban atmosphere and enjoy the variety of festivities that take place.
Serious cricket fans should book a seat in the north stands, the end of the ground where the players' pavilion and the press area are situated. This offers the best views of the ground, as well as the most shade.
The ground has been hosting international cricket since 1923, with some memorable matches taking place over the years. One of the semi-finals at the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup was held at this ground, when minnows Kenya bravely took on the mighty Australians, who went on to win that tournament.
Kingsmead is the home ground of the Sunfoil Dolphins franchise team, who play in the SuperSport Series (four-day cricket), MTN40 (40 overs a side) and the Standard Bank Pro 20 series (20 overs a side).
The pitch is generally very fast and bouncy, offering quick bowlers much encouragement. In 2008 Australian seamer, Mitchell Johnson, produced one of the meanest spells of bowling in the history of modern cricket, hospitalising South Africa's top two batsmen, Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis, within an hour.
The track has been known to flatten out however, meaning that high scores are often recorded at this ground, such as Gary Kirsten's 275 against England in 1999.
Sahara Stadium Kingsmead is also the finishing point for the 90-kilometre Comrades Marathon every second year, when the race starts in Pietermaritzburg.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Sahara Stadium Kingsmead
Tel: +27 (0)31 335 4200
How to get here
Sahara Stadium Kingsmead is located along Old Fort Road in Durban, close to the International Convention Centre.
Best time to visit
Cricket matches take place at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead between the months of October and April.
Around the area
Durban's world-class beachfront is just a few kilometers away from the stadium and is well worth a visit.
What will it cost
Tickets to a Test match start from R40 per adult for a seat on the grass embankment. Tickets to one-day internationals, which sell out far quicker, start from around R130 for a seat on the grass embankment.
What to pack
Durban is usually extremely hot and humid, so pack accordingly and drink lots of water.
Where to stay
Durban's 'Golden Mile' along the beachfront is home to a wide variety of hotels. Visiting cricket teams usually decide to stay along this stretch as well.

Ed Koch, the newspaper columnist
Ed Koch, the former three-term mayor of New York who died of gongestive heart failure this morning at the age of 88, will most likely be remembered first and foremost for his political skills and his identification with an era of redemption for New York City.
But Koch was also a prolific columnist, having contributed over the years to publications ranging from neighborhood newspapers to the hometown tabloids to the conservative magazine Newsmax.
Story Continued Below
Perhaps his most memorable journalistic undertaking was his 10-year stint as a movie reviewer for a chain of community weeklies that at the time included the Manhattan publications Our Town and West Side Spirit.
Tom Allon, a mayoral candidate and publisher of Manhattan Media (whose more recent owners announced just today that they have sold those papers), was working on a profile of Koch for West Side Spirit, of which he was editor at the time, back in late 1989 or early 1990. Asked how he was spending most of his time now that his career as mayor had come to an end, Koch told Allon that he went to the movies three times a week.
When Allon asked Koch shortly thereafter to write a movie column for West Side Spirit, Koch initially balked at the $50 weekly stipend Allon was offering him. But Allon convinced the other titles in the chain, Jimmy Finkelstein's News Communications Inc., which also included Dan's Papers, the Queens Tribune and the Bronx Press Review, to each kick in an additional $50 a piece, thus securing Koch's byline for the slightly more lucrative rate of $250 a week.
The column was a hit. HBO did a story about it, and Koch described it as being his favorite job during an interview with Johnny Carson, said Allon.
"It was really an everyman's review of whether or not a movie entertained him," Allon told Capital, recalling Koch's writing style.
After new investors acquired the papers in 2001, Koch's movie reviews were cut.
Years later, in 2009 and 2010, he would once again get to flex his film-criticsm muscles, this time for The Atlantic. But it wasn't all that long before Koch had landed a regular column in another Manhattan weekly.
In 2006, Adario Strange, then editor of New York Press, approached Koch about writing a general column on everything and anything he wanted to, recalled Jerry Portwood, Strange's managing editor at the time.
This time there was no haggling over money: Koch agreed to do it for free.
The move raised eyebrows, seeing as Koch had recently appeared on the Press' infamous annual list of the "50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers."
Back then the Press was owned by Avalon Equity Partners, which also published the prominent gay magazine Genre.
Avalon's founding partner, David Unger, tried to get Koch to address the topic of his sexuality in his column, said Portwood.
Unger made the pitch during a lunch at the Four Seasons for which Portwood was also in attendance. Sumner Redstone and Les Moonves were seated at nearby tables, said Portwood, and Liz Smith was there lunching with Barbara Walters, who came over to shake Koch's hand.
Koch told Unger and Portwood that he refused to talk about his personal life in the column.
Koch's writing, like his stumping, which never waned even as his sympathies and loyalties meandered back and forth across the proverbial aisle, was as likely to lionize George W. Bush as it was to advocate for gay rights.
"He always loved having a platform," said Portwood, who edited Koch at the Press. "We'd get letters from people asking why we were letting him pontificate on this or that."
The column came to an end, ironically, amid the 2007 sale of the Press to Allon's Manhattan media.
Koch had also written columns at different points for the New York Post and the Daily News.
He had broadcast bona fides too. There were his regular appearances on WCBS, his talk shows on Fox, WABC radio and Bloomberg Radio, and his frequent commentary for NY1 as one of the network's "Wise Guys."
"His remarks often sounded like pronouncements by an officeholder, proposing policy changes and oozing invective for political opponents and journalistic rivals," wrote Robert D. McFadden in his obituary on Koch for The New York Times, where Koch also had been published.
Most recently, Koch had been writing regularly for the website of Chris Ruddy's conservative monthly, Newsmax, under the rubric "New York Take." His final installment was published just weeks ago.
"He was writing right to the very end. It was amazing," said Ken Chandler, editor-in-chief of Newsmax.
"Although he was a New York City Democrat, he touched a chord with the Newsmax audience because of his direct, common-sense style of writing," said Chandler. "I think they liked his no-holds-barred views on everything. When you read Koch's column, you might not have agreed, but there was never any doubt where he stood on an issue."
During his time, Koch inspired at least one influential reporter to become a journalist.
"I wanted a career in politics," Deadline's Nikki Finke told The New York Observer earlier this month in a story about how she had worked for Koch in the mid-'70s. "I was a political science major and I wasn't really thinking about journalism, but when I saw the way Ed and his staff would genuflect to journalists, I went, 'Oh, I want to do that.' You know, the minute a journalist called him, he jumped on the phone."
The epitaph on Koch's tombstone quotes the last words of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. In an eerie coincidence, Neil Barsky's documentary on Koch's mayorality hits theaters today.
