text: I am about to make my first foray into the world of toning. Of course, I bought toner before reading up... so now I am stuck with Kodak Sepia II, which I understand is quite ugly. I am going to tone some prints that I don't care about all that much just to get the practise. I have got a lot of help on this and other subjects (Thanks Dave!)... but just realized one more thing: On the package it says to use under safe-light conditions. I was under the impression that toning could be undertaken under "normal" light... I was hoping to do it somewhere where I have a little more ventilation as I understand the stuff really stinks... but if I have to, I'll wait 'till night fall and wear a gas mask Also, I have heard conflicting reports on hardeing and after fixing... can someone give me a straight forward "yes" or "no" on that issue? Thanks in advance for all your help, Peter.

"The Baker's Wife" opens Sept. 24 at Coastal Carolina
Here's the story: A rural French village has been without a baker for months, and the residents are getting cranky. When Aimable, the baker, and his new, young wife Genevieve move into town, everything is delicious again. But she is discontented, and her eyes soon fall on the handsome Dominique. The young lovers run away, and the baker is so crestfallen that he and his bread both crumble. What happens next is why you need to attend this delightful comedy performed by Coastal's Department of Performing Arts..
Diane Fabiano, a junior in musical theater, is the baker's wife, and David Bankston, associate professor of performing arts, plays the baker. Returning student Chris Bergamo plays the part of the young handyman, and Emily Bryant, a transfer student, is the narrator. Senior Tiffany Scribner is the set designer. There are 18 performers in the cast..
The play will be set in an intimate, theater-in-the-round style seating, according to director Greg London, assistant professor of performing arts. Music will be performed by a small orchestra including a harp, keyboard and string bass, with Anne Miles as the music director. Music and lyrics were written by Stephen Schwartz, who also wrote the musicals "Godspell," "Hunchback" and "Pippin," among others. .
Based on the 1938 French film, "Le Femme de Boulanger," by Marcel Pagnol and Jean Giono, this play was created in 1976 but closed before reaching Broadway. When a cast album was recorded, it helped the show attain a cult following in theater circles.
In 1988, a revival of the show was performed in London's West End, and there's been a workshop production at the Roundabout Theatre in New York..
The Coastal performance, London said, will be a regional premiere of the play. .
Performances will run at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 24 through Sept. 27, and matinees will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27 and 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28. General admission is $10. For more information call the Wheelwright Box Office at 349-2502.

When I played Ongaku to this song, I couldn't hear over half of it. But when you listen to the entire thing... wow.
Hooray! I have a better version of this coming out .. someday. With words!
Thanks for your review!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very Awesome
A work of art, i feel as if this song could be used in a movie where right at the end the main character jumps in the air with some sort of victory pose and the picture freezes on him/her, then this song would kick in with a slow black out followed by credits, yea....I think i'll make...
Can i use your song in a movie ?
Uhhhh yeah, man! But if you do let me send you the remastered version, since it's quite a lot better.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Exactly what I like from you
Like your other songs, this one was great and indeed very catchy and melodic. It felt very dream-like with the strings in the background. I'm glad you won the 500 dollar prize for a good song in the Rock Out Competition, you deserve it.
If you feel like it, check out my audio, or also my game in the competition. Thanks!
I think I will! And thanks for the congratulations. I'm glad I won the 500 dollar prize too, so that's something we have in common. :-)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Really catchy
This song is really catchy and poppy. I am probably going to be humming it all day long now.
Thank you juttman! I think you're pretty catchy and poppy too.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I love you! <3

Here's the live blog of the Marvel: Next Big Thing panel, which includes revelations like the fact that Red Hulk will be turning into Red She-Hulk, giving Betty Ross her own title for the first time ever. Also, an as-yet unannounced new Marvel NOW title will feature both members of the Runaways and of the Secret Warriors. What else? Read on!
MARVEL's NEXT BIG THING
Arune Singh hosts the Marvel's Next Big Thing panel. On the panel includes Marjorie Liu, Axel Alonso, Peter David, Sana Amamat, C.B. Cebulski, James Asmus, Daniel Way, Jeanine Schaefer, Joe Keatinge, Neal Adams
Gambit by James Asmus and Clay Mann on sale August 2012. Ick. I do not like Gambit. But other people do. I will now stop editorializing. Asmus says it's a dream come true, much like Gambit himself. This will welcome men and women who have a crush on Gambit in. A super sexy sophisticated thief thriller, getting back to his stealing roots, pinching his way across the Marvel Universe in every sense of the word. Each issue will be self contained, and you will be satisfied each month by Gambit. It starts with a shower scene.
Astonishing X-Men #51 gets a shout-out, the Northstar/Kyle wedding issue. It was incredible and humbling for Liu. The marriage is a stepping stone in the relationship, and their problems are not going to go away – they'll be exacerbated by stuff in #53 onward – X-Men will be put in an unusual situation with Kyle. A honeymoon issue is coming in October as an annual.
Hawkeye by Matt Fraction and David Aja in August. Singh says Hawkeye is the breakout book of the year, on par with Mark Waid's Daredevil. The volume is turned up to 8 million.
CAPTAIN MARVEL – Kelly Sue DeConnick and Dexter Soy coming this month. People are selected from the audience to read it. It's Carol transitioning into a new role, a relationship with a person from her past, her love of flight (as seen in this week's Avenging Spider-Man). She has a lot of style. She's not always the friendliest in the world, but she's badass. Terry Dodson does the cover for CM #5.
Deadpool – Daniel Way and Ale Garza. #63 in October. Way will be leaving Deadpool. When Alonso tapped him for Deadpool, he was a fan of the latter incarnation of Wade going nuts, so they had plenty of latitude to tell different kinds of stories. He's good for every type of story. The latest stories, something is finally at stake and he's actually fighting for his life. Way's got something else on the horizon that he can't talk about. Alonso says DP is therapeutic for him for the use of dramedy. Deadpool is his son's favorite because he has a sword and a gun. There are more plans for Deadpool after Way's run.
New Mutants – it is ending in October. The Finale is #50 with Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. This isn't the last we'll see of these characters. They will show up in surprisingly major places after their book ends.
X-Factor with Peter David and Leonard Kirk. A cover image of everybody deserting Madrox in #245. David jokes that it's the last issue. The next six months will be exciting – issue 240 focuses on Laya Miller as a one-off, trying to get across town on foot in 20 minutes called Run Layla Run. 241-245 will be a mini-event bringing back half a dozen floating plotlines. Over five days, every single one of them gets resolved and a lot will be going on – dealing with stuff you probably thought he forgot about. It's called "Breaking Points." Kirk will be the artist for all five issues, and David thinks that it's the best work that he's done. It's overused as a phrase, but "things will never be the same." The team at the end will be very different than the team that starts. David is really anxious to see what the reactions are to that story.
RED HULK. It's going away in October. It becomes RED SHE-HULK in issue #58. Jeff Parker, Carlo Pagulayan. What happens to Red Hulk? We'll find out in October. As part of Marvel NOW, she's getting her own new mission.
THANOS: SON OF TITAN by Joe Keatinge and Rich Elson starts in October. Keatinge's doing his first Marvel work by telling a story about Thanos. He says Infinity Gauntlet was one of the best things ever. He got obsessed with Thanos from that. This is his origin, who he is, how he came to be. He's having a total blast with it. He lost it when he saw Avengers at the sight of Thanos. Another Marko Djurdjevic variant cover wows the crowd. It's the history of Thanos. Thanos returns in Bendis' Avengers Assemble book.
The First X-Men from Christos Gage and Neal Adams starts in August. Adams was looking around for Gage, and he rambles a weird story about talking to Gage in the bathroom. Gage is the co-writer, according to Adams. When he was doing X-Men years ago, the first time they saw them, they were in costume. Adams says this happens before Xavier's first team of superheroes. So he presented Marvel as a 'previous X-Men" attempt. Logan is the old guy who gets to be a leader. He has a weird relationship with the X-Men – why? Because his connection to the x-Men runs deeper than we know. It's a five issue miniseries – Sabertooth, Logan and new X-Men in it. Mutants from the past you've never seen. A guy named bomb, who is a preteen black kid. They're having the damnedest time. Adams calls this the greatest ride of his life. Alonso says it sheds light on the relationship between Sabertooth and Logan that will make you understand it better.
Singh shouts out non-Marvel work – David's Fallen Angel, Keatinge's Glory, Way's Hitmonkey, Adams' Astonishing X-Men motion comics, Liu's novels, Asmus' Thief of Thieves with Robert Kirkman.
Q: Is Kate Bishop involved in Hawkeye with any Young Avengers? Sana says there are no plans for other Young Avengers, but Kate is there because of many similarities. Clint responds to her. Others may come in depending on stories. Down the line, maybe the effects of Children's Crusade will be explored. Singh says there are big plans for Young Avengers soon.
Q: What's up with Red-She-Hulk? Singh explains the history of Red She-Hulk. This book has her working on a mission for secret people that puts her at odds with the Marvel U.
Q: Cosmic Marvel? Nova and Rocket Raccoon are in Marvel NOW, but they can't talk about them yet. They're building toward something big and they'll have a much bigger profile in the next few months.
Q: A guy comments on the event to event pattern and the evolution of characters. Why do they do them? People buy them. They hear about event fatigue, but sales don't reflect that. We vote with our wallets. Summer comic books are crossover events. AvX is not the last of summer events.
Q: Since Polaris just joined X-Factor, anything with her past? David says "Funny you should ask." Breaking Points has a whole issue that answers one of the major questions of Polaris' past. Magneto IS her father. That's not the major question. 243 is the issue.
Q: The focus on Avengers has been huge over the last decade. Will AvX return focus to the X-Men? Alonso, former X-group editor, wondered why they were so segregated from the rest of the Marvel U. Avengers vs. X-men hit because it brought readers across that divide. They both have an equal stake and equal impact. Uncanny Avengers!
Q: A guy read on Marvel.com that Alonso said Marvel NOW isn't a reboot but… ? The Marvel U of Marvel NOW isn't set in some alternate reality. It's in the Marvel Universe proper. All-New X-Men is included in that, even though it takes the old original X-Men coming to the modern day Marvel U. Marvel NOW is not a reboot.
Q: A veteran Silver Surfer fan wants him featured again, and will Shalla Bal ever make up her mind. Alonso says they're taking a good hard look at "non-earthbound" characters (as somebody in their cabal hates the word 'cosmic.')
Q: The Thanos story? Will it have Galactus or Shuma-Gorath? "You're going to see almost everything you want to see." There will be god-like characters. this is Thanos learning about the universe around him. The genesis of him becoming a villain. He meets people on his power level, and it challenges his ego. Thanos: Year One.
Q: Any plans for Dr. Strange in his own title? Singh tells her about Defenders, where Dr. Strange is the de facto team leader, and the Season One GN coming out this summer. Alonso says they want to hammer down what Marvel "magic" means. They need to figure out the rules, which they talk about on retreats and are making progress. It's elusive to do Dr. Strange right now. Dr. Strange: The Oath by Brian K. Vaughan is also plugged.
Q: What's up with the Marvel NOW illegitimate son of Nick Fury out of nowhere? Hickman reconciled it himself. Alonso says there is room for both the classic Fury and the new Marcus Johnson Fury. Jonthan has been able to get it straight so hopefully everyone can accept him.
Q: Penance/Speedball plans? Avengers Academy is the place for him now.
Q: What's up with Ultimates – how do you decide what to change? Sana says the whole purpose of Ultimate U is to be different. They call the Ultimates "The Avengers on HBO." Grittier and more realistic, setting them in the real world. If someone dies, they stay dead. There is less continuity and it has a different type of audience. It's the place where they can kill Peter Parker and bring in a new Spider-Man.
Q: Runaways. Thoughts? Some of the Runaways will have a major role in a new unannounced series ongoing (not called Runaways). We'll know by September.
Q: What happened to that Victor Von Doom series? No plans to pick it up right now.
Q: Cloak and Dagger? There will be more in Amazing Spider-Man and impact Peter Parker quite a bit.
Q: Any return of Secret Warriors? That book with some of the Runaways will also have some Secret Warriors and it won't be called Secret Warriors.

Gatt: A pitcher to be feared?
By Jordan J. Michael
VOORHEESVILLE Stepping into the batter's box to face Amanda Gatt is some risky business. If her fierce look of determination doesn't sound an alarm, then her vibrant pitching will.
Gatt, who just finished her sophomore year at Voorheesville, has already proved herself as a dynamic softball player. In her third season on the varsity team, Gatt broke the Birds' all-time records for strikeouts (245) and batting average (.406).
Yes, she loves to pitch the ball, but she carries a dangerous bat, too.
"Pitching is my main focus, but I'll still go out there and hit," said Gatt, who took the mound in all 19 games for Voorheesville this season. She struck out only five times in 70 at bats and led her team with 16 RBIs.
Gatt's strikeout-per-game average is a stunning 12.8 and she threw a no-hitter against Maple Hill to start the 2011 crusade. She already had 32 strikeouts after the first two games.
This week, Gatt was happy with the records she holds, but not complacent. She sat upright in her chair, composed, talking about further goals that she'd like to reach. For example, pitching in college.
"It feels good to have those records because you don't know when they'll be broken," Gatt said. "They're important to me because I set them, but I'm going to try and break them again in the next two years."
Gatt wore her Electric City Bombers jersey, planning to throw pitches with her father after she spoke to The Enterprise. The Bombers are an elite U18 travel team based out of New Jersey that travels throughout the Northeast during the summer months. The team plays in college showcases, including the Adidas Futures in Utah in July.
"I'm trying to get recruited," said Gatt, who plays on the Bombers with Jenna Cubello of Guilderland. "We're all looking to go to college for softball. There is no way of knowing who is interested in you, so you have to put yourself out there."
Living in the moment
Last summer, Gatt threw a perfect game with the Bombers during an elimination game in a tournament. She said that it was a "really exciting" moment. The ball from that performance still sits in her room.
"I didn't know that I had a perfect game because I like to live in the moment," Gatt said. "I can't keep track of every batter. Plus, I don't want to know because it adds pressure."
Gatt has two no-hitters on the scholastic level, but throwing a perfect game on an elite stage with Electric City has more meaning. Gatt faces more experienced batters during the summer.
"School ball has a wide range of skill level," she said. "The competition is harder when I'm playing travel league. It shows me more of who I am as a pitcher."
What does Gatt bring to the mound? At least five pitches fastball, change up, drop curve, screwball, and a rise. She labeled herself as a "power" pitcher, but says that she's working more on other pitches besides the fastball.
"I can get by with the fastball, but I can't just throw it down the middle," said Gatt. "I have a really long stride, so I constantly try to throw off the cycle. I use the fastball to get ahead."
Gatt's fastball looks overpowering to the naked eye, but she can't determine exactly how fast it's going. Last year, her fastball was clocked at 60 miles per hour in Binghamton. "People say that it's gotten faster," she said. "I try to go 100 percent all of the time."
Receiving pitching lessons has allowed Gatt to widen her scope. She's learned how to throw the fastball less often without sacrificing any of its effectiveness. Also, she's learned how to grip the ball differently while being able to hide it from the batters.
"You have to mix it up and throw the right pitch at the right time," Gatt said. "Try to fool the batters so they can't catch up. I'm hiding it from everyone."
Softball pitching is a natural underhand movement, which is better for the arm. Still, Gatt threw a ridiculous amount of innings as Voorheesville's only starter this season. Pitching complete games became habitual.
"I like having the game in my hands, but I don't want to wear my arm out," said Gatt. "I never felt injured or tired, really. It's the energy, the stretching, and the ice."
"She wants the ball"
Voorheesville Head Coach Matt Fiato told The Enterprise that the odd number of rainouts this season did help spread out Gatt's pitching time, but there were still some back-to-back days.
"She's really in shape. She wants the ball," Fiato said. "She likes to be in the circle, controlling the game."
With the numbers that Gatt put up in 2011, it's easy to assume that she carried the Lady Birds on her shoulders. Both Gatt and Fiato dispute that opinion.
"We all have to rely on each other; this is a team," Gatt said. "It can't just be me."
However, Fiato thought that Gatt's success pushed her teammates and made the situation more fun, as well as focused. "A team game is about having fun," Fiato said. "Not everything rests on Amanda's shoulders."
Gatt is naturally competitive. She lives for the close games. When she's not playing, she's learning more about her craft. These Voorheesville records will be a temporary satisfaction for a girl that aspires to so much more.
"There's always room for improvement," said Gatt, who likes math and science, but not history. "I can go wherever I want if I keep working."
Is she a pitcher that opponents should fear?
"I think batters are excited to face me," she said. "I haven't seen signs of fear. But, it's hard to tell."

Cape Town -
The ANC narrowly secured more media coverage than the DA in the final election campaign push at the weekend, but Julius Malema was the most watched politician, media survey group DDI said on Monday.
In the past 24 hours the African National Congress enjoyed 36.5 percent of column space in the local media compared to the Democratic Alliance's 36.1 percent.
However, a survey of media coverage for the past week, shows the DA beating the ANC with 35.2 compared to 31.9 percent.
In terms of media coverage of party leaders in the past day, Economic Freedom Fighters leader Malema was leading the pack with 42 percent, far ahead of ANC President Jacob Zuma and DA leader Helen Zille. They both stood at 28 percent.
"This could be expected as Malema is virtually the only major well-known leader in his party, while both the DA and the ANC have other leaders that are yielding publicity for the party." - Sapa

I lay down on the top of the circular water tank and close my eyes.
Not the sense of being enveloped by the Universe, but of enfolding the Universe - I wonder if such an instant will come. Surely that will be the instant when I am liberated from the uncertainties and uneasiness of living and the fear of death. As I feel the soft light on my eyelids, this thought floats nebulously in my mind.
On the circle they intersect - linear time and circular time.
On the circle they melt together - the ordinary world and the extraordinary world.
The sound of wind gently rustling the grasses. Bird song. Gunshot. Children's wails. The sound of water drops spraying up from the water's surface. On the circle sounds exist in abundance.
Was my mother's voice just an illusion?
The evening comes. I sit up. I stand on the water tank.
In the fading light, I gaze at the circle of nothing.

text: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp07/news/story?id=2984329 Four-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker Jeremiah Trotter will be job-hunting in the coming days after being released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday. A nine-year veteran, Trotter was informed of his status in a meeting with coach Andy Reid. The Eagles suggested that the now-unrestricted free agent consider retirement, but the 30-year-old's preference is to continue playing in the league. Trotter's release will become official when his name appears on the NFL's internal transactions wire this afternoon. "Jeremiah is one of my favorite guys," Reid said in a statement Tuesday. "There's no question that this is the toughest part of this job. He and I met about this [Monday] night and it was very emotional for the both of us. Jeremiah and I have been together for many years and he's played a vital role in helping this team win a lot of football games."

Not bad.
I love the piano. It set a great mood in the beginning, but I think the bass sounds like it's fighting with the main melody when it jumps in. At first I found it a bit difficult to enjoy because I had to focus on what I was listening to. I think it would be beneficial to this piece if the bass worked more with the melody rather than doing it's own thing. This song has a lot of potential.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It's pretty good.
I honestly loved the begining. Although the turning point at 1:22 was very unexpected. I didn't really like the music into that part. But the piano is really good. And when are you going to get a mic for "Tearing Through My Oblivion" and the other music videos? I look forward into your future work.
Plus, one more thing I don't really like to this song is that even though it has a good beat, it's a bit simple. And I know you made it that way so it'd be easy to remember. But after Tearing Through My Oblivion and the past music, I'm sure you can do better. Not calling this completely bad, but you should know what I'm say.
Kayz I'm done.
I kinda understand what you're saying.
Also, I should be getting a mic for my b-day (Dec. 7) or Christmas. And be sure to check my youtube later in the year, or even my reverbnation, cuz I'll be performing live at a lunch rally for my school and I'm gonna have my girlfriend record it. I'll only be doing my songs that have lyrics, since I don't have a midi board or anything.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I like
Okay, I thought, great intro, sweet piano melodies, punchy drum sounds, nice leads, clear mixing.
The main thing I think you should work on more for this song is that wobble bass. I'd personally say leave out the automation/lfo/whatever is is controlling the filter, and just leave the bass as a dirty "reese" sound. Then, to keep it interesting I'd say put over some really haunting reverbed vocal samples in the odd place. You don't need a wobble bass for it to be dubstep, and I love the parts without the wobble, but in my opinion that wobble is a bit too "cheesy dubstep" sound.
That's all just my opinion though, and it was worth a download. Stay proud of it- the people you've showed are right to love it, I'm just giving a suggestion for what to do next.
I know that it doesn't need wobble (and a decent number of mine don't), but to my ears it just worked for a little variation. We all have different tastes, and this one suited mine just fine. Thanks for the suggestions, though. I might use that backverb/reverb idea.

apparently controversial new Clio RS deliver? It's too early to get a drive, but there's a man standing next to me who can give us a clue. His name is Arnaud Barton, and he's the Product Manager for Clio Renaultsport. If only his manager wasn't standing right next to him...
While it's not all bad news about the new car, there is plenty to ponder. Starting with the fact Barton is keen to point out that the new RS Clio has been deliberately designed to appeal to a wider audience.
"One of the key goals for the new car was to get back to the core market, to make the car more versatile - more so than the current RS model," he says. "The main reason to abandon the 2.0 engine was to give more torque at earlier rpms."
Doesn't sound great so far. But Barton is adamant. "[The new 1.6 turbo] should make it more fun to drive than the current car, with better performance. The responses we received from our customer surveys said that the majority wanted to go with a turbocharged engine."
While emissions are obviously lurking behind the change - efficiency was a major factor in the new RS Clio's development - Barton offers a plus side. "We can tell you the gearbox shifts in 150ms in Race mode," he boasts. That's faster than the DSG in the Scirocco, he points out with a grin. But whoever said VW's flappy-paddle coupe was the last word in entertainment?
Together the engine and 'box "give better performance, more drivability and improved emissions" reckons Barton. He's reluctant to divulge any specifics, though his superior does eventually give the nod to "upwards of a 10 per cent improvement in CO2 emissions over the current normally aspirated car." (190g/km for the record)
Barton also highlights how "the car is very nearly the same weight as the current RS Clio despite being a five-door". Sounds like he thinks we should be impressed. Shame we were actually hoping for a weight reduction - especially since the regular Clio is claiming savings of up to 100kg compared to its predecessor.
No electronic tweakery for the suspension does at least suggest someone was prepared to make a firm statement about how the Clio Renaultsport should behave. That doesn't mean there isn't any electronic intervention at all, however. Swapping between Race, Normal and Sport modes will alter the steering weight as well as the shift speed, for one thing.
More alarmingly "the engine sound will be enhanced electronically," Barton confirms, to the dismay of many PHers. "It can't replace the real note," apparently, rather "it will be enhanced according to throttle position." Hmmm.
Still, we can't remember the last time Renaultsport actually let us down - so until the worst actually happens we'll live in hope and trust the proof is in the driving.

Eco friendly kitchen design
Designer Oliver Heath offers practical tips on greening your kitchen.
If you're worried by reports that vinyl can give off toxins, try linoleum - which is made from natural products such as linseed - cork and wood, with a Hessian backing.
Cork (in tile form) is a renewable material, hard wearing and easy to clean.
Find out more from the Healthy Flooring Network.
If new cabinets aren't made from solid wood, make sure they use chipboard - wood chips pulped and bonded together. This is generally considered to have the lowest levels of formaldehyde (which is carcinogenic) of the manufactured boards. Chipboard can also be recycled at the end of the cabinet's useful life.
Work surfaces
Work surfaces made from 85 per cent recycled crushed glass, encased in a non-toxic coloured resin, can look spectacular - try Eight Inch.
A solid wood work surface will give a long lasting and beautifully warm natural feel to your kitchen.
For splash backs, how about using coloured recycled glass tiles? Try Bottle Alley Glass.
For a contemporary look, why not try surfaces and furniture made from wonderfully coloured recycled plastics - visit Smile Plastics.
Low-energy lights in the ceiling for casting a general light last 10 times longer than conventional bulbs.
Over work surfaces short, compact, low-energy fluorescents are less wasteful than halogen downlighters.
White goods
There are energy saving appliances such as fridges, freezers, washing machines and dishwashers that save you money in the long run.
A long guarantee (up to five years) suggests the appliance is built to last.
Tables and chairs
Consider buying older pieces at a boot sale, market or antiques dealers.
Old chairs can also be freshened up with a lick of paint or a new fabric cover.
You'll find it handy to have a bin for separating cans, plastic, bottles, paper. Contact your local council for details of its doorstep collection or nearest recycling depot.
Compost organic waste for use on your garden – reducing the need for peat, which is cut from the ground.
Compost bins are often available free - or at a discount price - from local councils; contact yours for details.

Algorithms for Worst-Case Design and Applications to Risk Management
Recognizing that robust decision making is vital in risk management, this book provides concepts and algorithms for computing the best decision in view of the worst-case scenario. The main tool used is minimax, which ensures robust policies with guaranteed optimal performance that will improve further if the worst case is not realized. The applications considered are drawn from finance, but the design and algorithms presented are equally applicable to problems of economic policy, engineering design, and other areas of decision making.
Critically, worst-case design addresses not only Armageddon-type uncertainty. Indeed, the determination of the worst case becomes nontrivial when faced with numerous--possibly infinite--and reasonably likely rival scenarios. Optimality does not depend on any single scenario but on all the scenarios under consideration. Worst-case optimal decisions provide guaranteed optimal performance for systems operating within the specified scenario range indicating the uncertainty. The noninferiority of minimax solutions--which also offer the possibility of multiple maxima--ensures this optimality.
Worst-case design is not intended to necessarily replace expected value optimization when the underlying uncertainty is stochastic. However, wise decision making requires the justification of policies based on expected value optimization in view of the worst-case scenario. Conversely, the cost of the assured performance provided by robust worst-case decision making needs to be evaluated relative to optimal expected values.
Written for postgraduate students and researchers engaged in optimization, engineering design, economics, and finance, this book will also be invaluable to practitioners in risk management.
"This book will be very helpful to those interested in uncertainty and robust decisions. I recommend it warmly to all practitioners and researchers in economics, environment, engineering design, finance and operations research."--P.M. Pardalos, Journal of Economics
"This is minimax made practical, while maintaining theoretical rigor, computational feasibility, and good problem formulation. . . . The book is very comprehensive, and in many places quite detailed. However, it is easy to find a path through the material suited to one's purpose, ranging from a quick overview of this powerful approach to a detailed study of it and the relevant background material. It is an excellent example of how the results of an extensive research program can be translated into a book that is accessible and which is likely to have significant impact in both the optimization and finance communities."--David G. Luenberger, Journal of Economic Dynamics & Control
"Written for postgraduate students and researchers engaged in optimization, engineering design, economics, and finance, this book will also be invaluable to practitioners in risk management."--Zentralblatt MATH

Ohio State advances to the Sweet 16 for the third consecutive year.
Gonzaga, the perennial bracket buster, with 17 NCAA tournament victories, isn't sneaking up on anyone these days after their consistent play throughout the regular season and habit of going deep come tournament time.
Jared Sullinger was the workhorse for the Buckeyes with 18 points and two critical buckets in the final 3 minutes of play that eventually lead Ohio State over Gonzaga 73-66.
The Buckeyes had a complete team effort with Aaron Craft going for 17 points and 10 assists, Deshaun Thomas dropping 18 points and grabbing 7 rebounds, and William Buford chipping in 13 points. This is the type of well balanced attack Ohio State has put forward all season, but when it's crunch time, Sullinger knows it's his time to shine. That's exactly what he did Saturday.
Gonzaga fought to the very end however. They were lead by Gary Bell with 18 points and 5 assists and Elias Harris who added 16 points and 7 rebounds. Gonzaga is not a team to be taken lightly and many top tier teams have learned this the hard way. Even though Ohio State would appear to have an inside advantage on paper, it was Gonzaga that dominated the paint early. This is a testament to the heart and determination the Bulldogs bring to the post season.
Down the stretch it simply came down to the fact that the Bulldogs got cold, while Sullinger came up clutch with two very pretty jump-hooks. The Buckeyes were also a little more efficient with the ball throughout the second half shooting 47 percent from the field to Gonzaga's 39 percent, but this one could have gone either way.
In the end, the Buckeyes march on and face the winner of the Cincinnati vs. FSU game on Sunday.

I am writing in
response to the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.
First, I would like to thank my parents for deciding not to abort me -- they made a good choice.
Second, the information seems clear. There is a choice that has been given to mothers of whether or not a person should be granted life. The science and medical facts are available. The embryo, then fetus, is a living being. Someone is being formed in their mother's womb upon conception.
Now, there is a controversy over a mother's right versus an unborn baby's right to life; this battle is no secret and has seemed almost political in nature. The reality is this: a human being is at stake.
I think our culture has dehumanized us. Society breeds self-centeredness, and promotes proud people who can rely on themselves as independent achievers of whatever their dreams may be; though their dreams are no longer curtailed by the once reliable and ever present moral compass formed by God and by a God-fearing nation. This compass has been broken, perhaps altered by the very dreams that started as an innocent impulse.
We have become bound to our urges for pleasure and entertainment, and have even begun to demand others take responsibility for our actions. We hold our rights dearer than self-sacrifice and discipline. We see violence and begin to think nothing of a fellow human being. We talk with anger, vulgarity, and disrespect to each other and rationalize it as 'honesty' instead of seeing it as a disgusting distasteful display of regress in decorum and human interaction.
We have trained ourselves to be cold at this moment; the moment that the life of another would cause difficulty to our own life. Where is our humanity? Please consider a life valuable.
John Marshall, Tallmadge

|Assigned Interventions
Subjects who have trabeculectomies with intraocular bevacizumab injection
Drug: intraocular injections of bevacizumab
intracameral and subconjunctival injections
Other Name: glaucoma filtering surgery
Detailed Description:
Glaucoma filtration surgery is routinely utilized to control intraocular pressure in glaucomatous patients. It reduces IOP by creating a fistula between the anterior chamber and the subconjunctival space with a filtering bleb. Increased wound healing response affects the function and morphology of the filtering bleb, and wound healing involves a series of biological events beginning with hemostasis.
Corticosteroids and antifibrosis agents such as mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil have been employed in trabeculectomy to delay wound healing and hence to improve the success rate of surgery by inhibiting inflammation and fibroblastic activity, and the use of these antiscarring agents is generally believed to improve the success rate of trabeculectomy.But this rate decreased with passing time and thus was not perfect.
Vascular endothelial growth factor is a pivotal stimulator of angiogenesis because its binding to VEGF receptors has been demonstrated to promote endothelial cell migration and proliferation in wound healing.Therefore, anti-VEGF agents may potentially modulate wound healing following glaucoma filtration surgery.
The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the additive effect of intracameral and subconjunctival injections of bevacizumab in trabeculectomy.

BROOKSVILLE — After terminating its contract with controversial contractor Greg Jarque, the Hernando County Commission on Tuesday voted to seek a replacement to oversee the troubled Hernando Beach channel dredge.
While the county staff was proposing to use an in-house construction management team to supervise the project, commissioners decided they still wanted someone experienced on site to ride herd on the contractor.
"We've got too much to lose here, folks, to not pursue this,'' Commissioner Wayne Dukes said. He noted that this is the "last chance" to get the long-awaited, multimillion-dollar project finished.
When the staff oversaw the project with the former contractor, the county ran into problems, Dukes said. He also said the project needs an engineer on site.
The engineer the county has been using, Halcrow Inc., is currently at an impasse with the county over past bills.
"I really, really don't want to take a chance of losing this,'' Dukes said. "I'm looking for an insurance policy.''
Commissioner John Druzbick said he agreed that a construction manager was important for the project.
"The bottom line … the project needs to be done,'' Druzbick said.
The project to widen, deepen, straighten and lengthen the channel has been stalled for years by legal, financial and environmental problems. If the work isn't done by Jan. 1, the county will likely lose $6 million in state funds.
Dukes said having someone who can scrutinize the project daily is important.
"Do we really want to be the board that dropped the ball on this and had to give the state back $6 million because we failed?'' Dukes said.
The commissioners did not speak about their decision to terminate Jarque's contract as project manager. County Administrator David Hamilton had removed Jarque and his Gritz Development and Construction firm from the project earlier this month after Jarque's background came under scrutiny. He pleaded guilty to attempted arson in New York in the 1990s, and that revelation caused a closer look at Jarque's construction credentials.
While Jarque told the board he was a general contractor, he actually is a licensed building contractor. Hamilton expressed concern about a breach of integrity.
It will take the county until June to seek proposals for a new contract manager, which several commissioners said should be an engineer with dredging experience willing to take far less than the $152,500 included in Jarque's contract.
That new manager could start work by July, officials said, giving the person a full six months on the jobsite before the Dec. 31 deadline for completion of the dredge.
In the meantime, county staffers will monitor the project.

Dodgers drop heartbreaker to Padres
Dodgers drop heartbreaker to Padres
It blew a five-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, lost the game to the San Diego Padres in the 10th inning, 6-5, and when general manager Ned Colletti emerged from the clubhouse afterward, he announced the demotion to the Minor Leagues of a reliever who didn't even pitch in the game.
That would be Hong-Chih Kuo, who hasn't pitched since taking Tuesday night's 14-inning loss. If Kuo was left wondering what happened on Sunday, he had a lot of company.
The entire organization figured that it was en route to a 5-0 win when manager Grady Little brought in struggling reliever Lance Carter in the ninth to get some work and close out the game.
"We had a great game through eight innings," said Little.
Carter allowed a single to Mike Cameron into the hole at shortstop, then a sharp single to right field by Brian Giles, bringing up Mike Piazza.
Although the lead was still five, Little rang the bullpen phone for Danys Baez, who had saved games the previous two nights. Baez was able to warm up only as long as it took Carter to walk Piazza and load the bases.
After a hurried warmup, on came Baez, Gagne's understudy. He faced five batters, one run scoring during each at-bat -- a single by Mark Bellhorn (who would later win the game), walks to Khalil Greene and Eric Young and sacrifice flies by Josh Barfield and Geoff Blum.
"The roof caved in on Carter and Baez both," said Little. "Carter was coming off a great game in Houston [tossing two scoreless innings], and we thought the wheels were back on track, but they fell off again. We tried to go without using Baez, but it didn't turn out how we wanted. He wasn't able to get in any rhythm."
Carter's ERA soared to 7.45. He has appeared in eight games and been scored upon in five, so his ineffectiveness on Sunday was not a complete surprise.
Baez's problems were an entirely different story. He's been the main man with the loss of Gagne and Brazoban, but he's strictly a power pitcher, and there are only so many bullets in the chamber.
Baez had saved the previous two games and, while his velocity on Sunday was consistently at 94 mph, he was all over the place. The fact that he had only one batter to warm up didn't help. As it was, he needed 25 pitches and didn't even finish the inning. He threw 10 pitches on Saturday night and only four Friday night.
"I lost my mechanics," said Baez. "I was overthrowing the fastball and doing too much with the splitter and was behind every hitter. That was the biggest problem."
Takashi Saito, the setup man, also pitched on Friday and Saturday nights. At 36, he's physically not able to withstand the demands of pitching three consecutive days, so he was unavailable. And, obviously, there was no confidence in bringing in Kuo.
Baez, meanwhile, conceded that he was not expecting to be used after pitching on Friday and Saturday nights, either, particularly the way this game unfolded, but he would not use the element of surprise as an excuse.
"That's part of my job," he said. "If you want to be a closer in the Major Leagues, you've got to be strong enough to close three days in a row."
The irony afterward was that the Dodgers optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas the rookie Kuo, a hard-throwing lefty with a 5.54 ERA and 15 walks in 13 innings. He will be replaced by another left-hander, Joe Beimel, who was 3-0 with a 1.38 ERA and four walks in 13 innings at Las Vegas.
"Kuo needs better command and to hold runners on, and this isn't the place to learn that," said Colletti, who added that Carter's situation is "a topic of discussion."
Overall, Little defended the work of his bullpen this season and said that there are no current plans to add a reliever and increase the number of pitchers from 11 to 12.
The game ended with Tim Hamulack taking the loss, allowing Bellhorn's sharp single inside third and down the line after issuing consecutive one-out walks to Giles and Piazza. With the win, San Diego snapped a five-game losing streak. The game marked the first time this season that the Dodgers led after the seventh or eighth inning and did not win.
All that wasted the great game Little talked about. Included were a two-run homer from Bill Mueller, two hits and two RBIs from Nomar Garciaparra and six scoreless innings and the fifth consecutive quality start from their former Boston teammate, starter Derek Lowe.
With the five-run cushion, it didn't seem monumental when Lowe left the game after turning an ankle while pitching to Dave Roberts in the sixth and taking a Cameron comebacker off the same ankle one batter later.
He yielded to Franquelis Osoria, who pitched two scoreless innings, setting the stage for Carter.
"These games happen to every team -- it's just a matter of how you come back," said Lowe. "Time will tell the effect of this game. Obviously, it's frustrating for everybody. We'd just like to get on a roll. We haven't had a win streak longer than two games and just got back to .500."

The final round will be held at night giving it some very unique features, however the entire technical team at Ocean is quite accustomed to them. Melker is optimistic for a successful outcome: "I want to have two very good races and return to good views.
The last two races were difficult and I hope that I can counter that this weekend. The races will be a different than usual, but I am optimistic about my adaptation and eager to get out on track," said the Dutchman.
Victor Guerin will once again head into the unknown with the Singapore track a new venue for him. However he maintains a positive spirit: "It will be all new, the track, the weather and the fact that the race takes place at night, but I hope to adapt well and have two good races.
I have been learning a lot in GP2 with Ocean and I would really like to compile everything I have learned and apply it to these two races and get my first points in the Championship. It would be the best way to end the season," concluded the Brazilian driver.

In an ideal world, youd wax your skis or snowboard every time you went out on the hill, says Kim Walker, owner of Outdoor Divas. Most people get lazy about it, but its the single easiest thing you can do to have more fun out there and lengthen the life of your equipment. Get off to a good start tonight with Wax and Wine, which includes demonstrations from the shop's resident divas.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The demos and drinks are free (and open to dudes as well as divas), but take the opportunity to stock up on winter gear for yourself or the bad-ass babe youll be hitting the slopes with this season: 15 percent of tonights sales will support Outward Bound Denvers mission to inspire the next generation through challenging outdoor adventures.
Everyone I know who loves outdoor sports was first introduced to those activities by somebody else if not by a friend or family member, then by an organization like Outward Bound, Walker says. Those of us whose lives have been transformed by getting outside and challenging ourselves know how important it can be to a young person to have those same kinds of experiences. The event starts at 7 p.m. at Walkers Cherry Creek shop, 2717 East Third Avenue. RSVP to email@example.com.

The UAE's No. 1 language training centre, Eton Institute, opened its doors in the UAE capital this Sunday, 10th June 2012, marking a beginning of a new chapter. Abu Dhabi residents were able to join in the life changing experience of learning a language or developing a new skill which is so unique to Eton Institute.
The illustrious Institute that has branched out from Dubai to Vienna and now to Abu Dhabi offers a unique blend of accredited courses in over 100 languages, teacher training, computer training, professional development and corporate training, to individuals, government organisations and businesses in the UAE. It offers learners a truly vibrant and multicultural learning experience. The free courses every month, enjoyable cultural events and support for non-profit organisations, all make up Eton Institute's community initiatives, aimed to encourage cross-cultural communication and diversity.
"Eton Institute is a unique place in the sense that it is not just a training centre. There is a sense of community, culture and responsibility in everything we do. We don't just offer a course; we offer a life changing experience that defines the future of any individual wanting to learn a language or build on their existing skills," said Moaz Khan, Marketing Manager at Eton Institute.
Individuals and businesses in Abu Dhabi seeking to learn or polish up a new skill, are now able to take advantage of Eton's unique and wide spectrum of courses, ranging from over 100 internationally accredited language courses, professional development courses such as TESOL/TEFL, kids courses, IT courses, Business Skills and corporate training to name a few. There is something on offer for everyone! The courses are taught by highly experienced professionals who make learning a fun and enjoyable experience, getting the best out of their learners. Eton Institute is now also an approved City & Guilds training centre. Learners will now benefit even more from the internationally recognised certificates they receive at the end of completing their course.
"There are other well established training centres in Abu Dhabi, but what separates Eton Institute from the others is its X factor," said Dr. Eli Abi Rached, The CEO of Eton Institute. "It's the same X factor that has prompted many residents of the capital to commute to Dubai on a regular basis, just to be part of the Eton experience. They have supported us over the years to open shop in Abu Dhabi. We are thrilled to have been able to arrive in a city that has been waiting for us with so much enthusiasm!" he exclaimed.
Eton Institute Abu Dhabi is now open, with courses on offer from 8AM to 9PM on weekdays. Registrations are open and interested learners are encouraged to visit abudhabi.eton.ac [2] or call 800 ETON (800 3866) for any enquiries.

Wow now this is a nice patch, I never intented the outerHTML to be used this way and yes there are problems with IE. All I can say is wow... go ahead and commit it otherwise I will do
Really nice stuff, thanks for doing it, I guess we now have a kickass outerHTML function.
No problem thanks for merging it in, I am currently bound by customer projects so I would not have had time before next week to do it. I will give it a final testing next week to make sure the code is waterproof but from a first look it looked very good to me.
Ok sorry for the delay, but I was bound by customer projects, I reevaluated the code, there were bugs in the ie part of things, I cleaned up the code it should work now, I will commit my working codebase, but the table part needs further testing on my side.
ok I gave the fixup code now a testrun, leos code with my fixes now work perfectly.
The Sieve test does not show any problems. Seems like the fix works.
Also table element replacement now seems to work like a charm.
Thanks Leo for providing the fix.

EGEN, Inc., is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing nucleic acid-based therapeutics for cancer and other difficult to treat diseases using proprietary nanoparticle delivery systems. They came to Axxiem looking for a simple, attractive, modern site that would showcase and clearly explain their proprietary technology.
Axxiem developed a new site for Egen that showcases their TheraPlas and TheraSilence technologies and features up-to-date information about the status of their clinical trials and R&D pipeline. The uncluttered, visually engaging site is easy to navigate and allows visitors to quickly learn all the key information about the company and its offering. The homepage features an eye-catching artistic representation of Egen's biopharmaceutical delivery technology.
EastHORN is a Contract Research Organization dedicated to conducting Phase I-IV clinical trials in Central and Eastern Europe. The company was seeking to refresh it's branding and web-presence, while reinforicing their unique familiarity with the Central and Eastern European target markets.
Axxiem designed a new website that built on the company's existing brand identity and colors. Navigation on the homepage is comprised of large panoramic images that appear when a vistor hovers their mouse over a link, also providing direct access to sub-pages. Axxiem produced an interactive map module for the Geographical Reach area if the site, which also includes dedicated pages for many of the countries EastHORN serves. These pages feature country-specific images and relevant clinical trial information for potential clients.
Eli Lilly approached Axxiem in 2010 with a request for two websites for their Voice project. Voice is an enterprise project planning and management system that allows all of Chorus' employees to access important information through the internet.
Chorus Resonance was the second of these two sites.
Chorus Resonance extensively used a theme that Axxiem recommended to Chorus. The design serves as a common point between Chorus and prospective clients: it is accessible and familiar to both parties.
Reagent Proteins is a leading supplier of reagent, pre-clinical and cGMP-grade proteins to the biopharmaceutical and vaccine development community. They had used an off-the-shelf shopping cart and ecommerce program for their product website but found that it did not allow them the necessary level of customization. This is often the case with life sciences companies, whose products and shopping experience have very different requirements from companies in other industries. The goal of the project was to redesign and re-structure the website to make it much more user-friendly for the shoppers, to make products very easy to find, to provide detailed descriptions for each item, and improve the overall shopping and checkout experience.
Axxiem worked with Reagent Proteins to understand their products and their customers' needs and designed several features into the site to make products easier to find: more product categories, advanced search functionality, an alphabetical product index, and related products functionality. Additionally, each product now has its own dedicated page with a detailed description. The shopping experience is improved by an integrated shopping cart, and each customer has an account that allows them to access their order history and to save time by easily placing previous orders again. Administrators use the content management system to keep site content current, to manage the product catalog, and can even make certain products not available for purchase, prompting shoppers to contact the company for a price quote.
Thank you for giving us such a professional, functional and easy-to use web-site. We are looking forward to working with your team on our corporate redesign too.
Patricia Lady
Vice President of Finance & Corporate Controller

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Country house, 1 mile from small town and beautiful beaches. Great views, 4 double bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, the house sleeps 8(+2). It was built in 1905 and renovated in 2010, retaining the original elements and distribution of the modernist period. There are 3 bedrooms all with full en-suite bathroom, plus a spacious attic with another full bathroom, and bed-sofa which can be considered a fourth bedroom. Additionally, the first two bedrooms include a third extra bed, so the total sleeping capacity is comfortably 10. The attic has a spectacular south-facing gallery towards the mountain and a large terrace to the north, overlooking the ocean horizon. The house is fully equipped, kitchen, cupboards, heating, air conditioning, WIFI, barbecue, garden and patio in a 480 sqm lot. Being at the highest point of the rural center and facing south it enjoys privileged views and lots of light. The area is very quiet. All rooms have windows or balconies overlooking the garden and surrounding countryside. Within just 1-3 miles from the house there are some of the best beaches in Asturias - Gulpilluri , Cuevas del Mar, San Anton, and the great beach of San Antolin where you can also surf. Only 7 miles away is the Sella river, the best known in Spain for rafting, canoeing and salmon fishing. And 9 miles from the beautiful Llanes town and its golf course. This comfortable and pleasant house is an ideal base for the discerning holidaymaker to enjoy all that Asturias has to offer, providing an increasingly rare opportunity to experience a real sense of traditional Spain. Just 200 meters from the house is the coastal Pilgrim Route to Santiago de Compostela, in one of its most bucolic and well preserved portions. Only one mile away this old path enters into Nueva ("Prettier Village in Asturias" in 1963). In addition, the entire set is just 16 miles from the impressive mountain range Picos de Europa, spectacular landscapes mounting from the seashore to the close by Naranjo de Bulnes (8,000 feet high). Local culture is very much diverse and alive, festivals, music, cuisine, the Museum of Jurassic dinosaur remains, caves with stunning cave paintings, Visigothic and Romanesque art, and much more to discover.
Biologist and communications professionals
I have friends and relatives in villages close-by
Rest, beaches, friendly environment, beautiful landscapes, wide house and rooms with views
This house was amazing. I've never rented a place yet in Spain that my family actually wanted to spend more time in then being out. This is a great place for a group of people or family want to spend quality time together. Super clean, very prepared, and lots of space. The yard was a plus for some games and my nieces and daughters even slept in a tent outside for fun. The location is pefect to the Rio Sella canoeing, Northern route Camino del Santiago, exploring the mountains, or discovering the amazing beaches within 10 to 30 minutes driving. Great location between city of Llanes and Ribadesella, both favorites. We'd definitely come back.
The house is lovely, very spacious with high ceilings, wooden floors and a good sized garden. The terrace on the 3rd floor offers fabulous evening sunshine and amazing sunsets. We were lucky to get great weather for our stay so spent little time there in the day. Some of the most beautiful beaches I've seen are a short drive away and so are the Picos de Europe with magnificent views. The village is quiet and picturesque with shops and bars in Nuevo, only a mile away.
We have 2 boys, ages 7 and 9 and they have had the best holiday; dinosaur museum and footprints and fossils to find; canoeing down the Sella river; jumping waves in the sea (despite being cool, you really do get used to it!); great tapas/seafood (but more traditional child friendly food usually on offer for our more fussy youngest); and deserted beaches...we felt like the only people a lot of the time (although it's only May so not peak season). Perfectly opposite to touristy, overdeveloped noisy resorts so it's just what we were looking for.
The house is well equipped and having no English TV and no super fast broadband (there is Wifi enough to use Internet just not dreaded kids youtube videos) was a welcome relief and meant we had quality family time. We took some games, there's nothing much to do for the kids except the greatest hide and seek with so many rooms and corners to hide in.
With very limited Spanish we struggled at times but emailing or phoning the owners was easy and they are very friendly and helpful. Mariano speaks good English but the housekeeper's English is not so fluent so I'd recommend you brush up your Spanish. (Saying that we still managed to get instructions to find a fuse box so credit to Rosi) We certainly hope to return and have fallen in love with this very beautiful coast of Spain.
This beautiful house was a wonderful base to explore Asturias. It is a tasteful, spacious and light-filled home in a lovely village situated between the best part of the Asturian coastline and the Picos de Europa. We would definitely go back.
Nuestra experiencia ha sido muy buena, la casa estaba limpia y dos de las habitaciones muy amplias con cama supletoria incluida.
Por mejorar algo: deberían poner la calefacción antes de llegar para q la casa esté acondicionada.
Special interest holidays:
1-3 miles from the house there are some of the best beaches in Asturias - Gulpilluri, Cuevas del Mar, San Anton, and San Antolin where you can also surf. 7 miles away is the Sella river, the best known in Spain for rafting, canoeing and salmon fishing. And 9 miles from the beautiful Llanes town and its golf course.
In addition, the entire set is just 16 miles from the impressive mountain range Picos de Europa, spectacular landscapes mounting from the seashore to the close by Naranjo de Bulnes (8,000 feet high). Local culture is very much diverse and alive, festivals, music, cuisine, the Museum of Jurassic dinosaur remains, caves with stunning cave paintings, Visigothic and Romanesque art, and much more to discover.
1-5 miles from the house there are some of the best beaches in Asturias - Gulpilluri is a unique, fairy-tale beach in the middle of a meadow! the sea comes in through a cave on the front rock, it is absolutely ideal for small children (soft sand, no waves). Cuevas del Mar and San Anton, just 3 miles, are perhaps the most beautiful beaches in Asturias, San Anton with its white sand and Caribbean turquoise waters. San Antolin long beach, 10 minutes away, is a favourite for surfers.
The Port of Santander, with a direct ferry to southern England, is just one hour drive away through the A8 highway. The same distance to the Santander airport, and 45 minutes more to the Bilbao airport, both to the East. The Asturias airport is about 80 minutes drive to the West, along the same A8 highway.
The house is on the edge of small village Cardoso, 1 mile from small town Nueva, 7 miles to medium town Ribadesella and 9 miles from Llanes.
Further Details:
Cardoso has very good and convenient restaurants; and Nueva, just one mile away, is plenty of services , shops, pubs, restaurants.
