T-Mobile began rolling out an Android Market update to allow new payment options, but it will only be available on phones with Android 1.6 and above. The Motorola CLIQ and Samsung Behold II, which operate on the outdated Android 1.5, will continue billing only through Google Checkout.
The rollout schedule has also been adjusted. T-Mobile originally planned to have the update completed by December 30, but that has been changed to "early January".
There have been no official press releases for the new payment options and I'm going to assume T-Mobile is still working out the details on how it will work. (ex. What is to stop my teenager from downloading a ton of apps and hiking up my bill?)
We have been unable to confirm the carrier billing options with screens. The new payment options are available to Android Market clients greater than 1660.
The new Android Market (that includes screenshots) has been available since September and it has always been limited to Android 1.6 and higher.
The last time we reached out to T-Mobile and asked them about Android 2.0 we received the following response.
"T-Mobile is coordinating with Google to deliver Android 2.0. We will let you know when we have more details to share."T-Mobile USA
There has been no guarantee that existing T-Mobile phones will be updated to Android 2.x.
We believe the carrier should be responsible for updating their phones, but T-Mobile directed us to Motorola when we questioned them about the CLIQ being updated. Let's hope that the rumor CLIQ is stuck on Android 1.5 turns out to be false.
Samsung stated (via YouTube) that they intende to update the Behold II to Android 2.0. We have no time frame for said update so I would not hold my breath.

.30 Caliber/7.62mm (.308) 150 gr. FMJBT
For rifles, this 150 grain #2115 Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail bullet is designed for semi-automatic types, and it functions flawlessly in the M14/M1A, M1 Garand and similar rifles. The cannelure is located to provide an overall length suitable for both the 308/7.62 NATO and the 30-06 cartridges. This 150 grain FMJBT bullet also is a good bullet at medium and low velocity for hunting game with valuable pelts to be preserved.
In handguns, this 150 grain #2115 FMJBT bullet is ideally suited to the hunter who requires a non-deforming bullet to minimize pelt damage. Velocity should be kept low, and ranges must be correspondingly short to minimize damage to the pelt.

From the Box: Grandpa's Note Book

"I want my grandchildren to know who my grandparents were."
I love this. I am learning that this is truly "our" responsibility as grandparents. We are the connection to both the past, and the future for our grandchildren...
"There are a lot of things we don't know about our grandparents during the years we're able to be with them, aren't there!"
This last statement that you made, really caught my attention. This is all too common of a situation. I want to change that with my own grandchildren. I want them to know me, and I want them to know where they come from, who they are - and how this affects their lives and futures.
I love your blog, and what you are doing to make these connections, so real.

Hi Becky ~
What a great find! Your comment about "...a lot of things we don't know about our grandparents during the years we're able to be with them" is just so true. I guess it's just that, at least for me, I never could think of my grandparents as young people. I know I have pictures of them, but still, I always think of them as just "Grandma and Grandpa". It's great that you have something that gives you a real glimpse into that younger lifetime.

Policy Title: Code of Patron Conduct
The purpose of this policy is to guarantee the rights of patrons to a pleasant, productive and safe atmosphere in the use of the Library by establishing basic conduct rules. All members of the community are welcome in the Library regardless of age, sex, race, religion, ethnic origin, being differently abled, or appearance as long as they do not disrupt or interfere with another's ability to use the Library for its intended use. This code is supported by related Library policies and procedures.
Animals, with the exception of service animals and animals brought in for special programs or as permitted by the Library Director, are strictly prohibited in the Library. See the Americans with Disabilities Act website for current service animal requirements: http://www.ada.gov
Attire & Hygiene
In the interest of public health and safety, appropriate clothing attire, including shoes and shirts, must be worn at all times while inside all Library buildings. Patrons whose bodily hygiene is offensive so as to constitute a nuisance to other persons shall be required to leave the building.
Decorum and consideration for other patrons
Patrons are expected to behave with decorum and consideration for other patrons. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
-maintaining reasonable quiet
-the cooperative sharing of work tables and computer facilities
-parental restraint of lively and noisy children
-patience and respect while waiting for services such as Reference, Circulation or computer assistance
-respecting the privacy of other patrons who are using the Library, maintaining a reasonable distance with regard to reading and use of Library computers.
Disruptive or Illegal Activity
Anyone who does not follow the Code of Patron Conduct by engaging in disruptive or illegal activity will be asked to leave. When necessary, the appropriate law enforcement agency may be called.
Unacceptable conduct may include, but is not limited to, the following:
-use and/or the possession of alcohol and other illicit substances
-possession of firearms or other weapons
-abusive use of Library facilities and/or equipment
-harassing or intimidating others
-creating any disturbance that interferes with normal operations of the Library
-use of abusive, disruptive, loud, obscene, or threatening language/behavior
-solicitation or panhandling
-smoking in Library facilities
-consuming food and beverages in non-designated areas
-defacing, cutting, destroying, or stealing Library property or materials
-accessing web sites containing material involving illegal activity, pornography and obscenity.
Mobile Phones and Other Electronic Devices
Use of mobile telephones or other electronic communication devices in the Library must be kept to a minimum. These items should be set to "silent" or "vibrate" mode with no audible alerts. While we understand that use of these devices is sometimes necessary, the Library System reserves the right to ask patrons to cease this activity when it interferes with other patrons' use of the Library. Out of respect for the privacy of our patrons, we discourage the use of cameras within our Library buildings.
Trespass Warnings
Those persons whose behavior is judged to be illegal or dangerous to patrons or staff will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency* and the Police Department or Sheriff's Office will issue a "Trespass Warning" to the person if deemed necessary and appropriate. A "Trespass Warning" means the person is denied use of the Library facility. Removal of the "Trespass Warning" is at the discretion of Library Administration in consultation with the Police Department, or Sheriff's Office.
*Upon recommendation of the Library Director or designee.
Unattended Children*
The Library welcomes Library use by children. The Library, however, is a public building with staff trained to provide public Library services. The Library is not equipped-and it is not the Library's role-to provide long- or short-term child care. For the safety and comfort of children, a responsible adult or caregiver should accompany children while they are using the Library. While in the Library, parents or caregivers are responsible for monitoring and regulating the behavior of their children.
* The State of Florida defines a minor as a person under the age of 18. For the purposes of this policy, the terms "child", "minor", and "youth" are interchangeable.
Violation of the Code of Patron Conduct
The Library reserves the right to require anyone violating the Code of Patron Conduct to the leave the Library for the remainder of the day. Serious or repeated misconduct may lead to legal action or criminal prosecution.

Policy Title: Bulletin Board/Pamphlet Display Policy
The St. Johns County Public Library System (SJCPLS) serves the information needs of the community by providing sources of information and assistance in locating information. In its role as a center for community information, the library provides space for the dissemination of information of interest to the St. Johns County Community. Priority will be given to materials relating to the Library, Friends of the Library and the St. Johns County government. As space allows, public notices and announcements of upcoming meetings, civic, cultural, educational and recreational events sponsored by not-for-profit organizations may be posted with permission of the Library Director or designee.
The brochures, hand-outs and flyers will be displayed under the following guidelines:
- The community bulletin board and brochure/handout displays are provided as a public service to publicize local groups, meetings, cultural events, non-partisan political events, fundraising events for non-profit organizations, educational opportunities or other services of a non-profit, non-self-promoting nature.
- Items will be dated when posted on the community bulletin boards. Items will be displayed for a maximum of one month as space allows. The Library is not responsible for saving meeting notices or posters.
- Campaign literature, and personal notices will not be posted.
- Advertisements, newspapers or commercial notices by a for-profit organization will not be posted.
- Notices promoting political parties or candidates or those advocating the election of any candidate or a stand on any issue on the election ballot will not be displayed.

- Display items must be of reasonable size in relation to the space available but may be no larger than 81/2″ x 14″ (legal size). Display items may be rejected if they detract from the effective use of space or because of a lack of space.
- The use of the Library's bulletin boards and or display does not constitute an endorsement of any organization's policies or beliefs.
- Public Notices/free materials may be accessible by the general public and could be removed or altered by a member of the public. It is not the Library staff's responsibility to "guard" these materials or to keep track of quantities or availability of these materials.
- Unapproved materials will be removed and discarded without notification.

Policy Title: Exhibit and Display
The St. Johns County Public Library System welcomes exhibits and displays of community interest.
Permanent Exhibits/Displays
The Library has a stated responsibility to offer a place where one can encounter the rich diversity of concepts and find opportunity for personal enrichment. These responsibilities are reflected in the library service, the materials in the collection and the use of decorative and display objects within the Library. In keeping with these responsibilities the Library will avoid the installation of permanent displays or artistic decorations, in favor of rotating displays or works of art that will serve to stimulate and renew interest. Before considering a permanent gift of this kind the Library will consider:
-Does it conform to the architecture of the building?
-Will it fit comfortably in the available space?
-Is the object appropriate to the Library objectives, or would it be better elsewhere?
-Will it cost more to accept the gift than it is worth to the Library?
No gift will be accepted by the Library unless it is freely given to the extent that the Library may:
-Dispose of the gift as it sees fit (selling, discarding, giving it away)
-Store the gift or move it to various locations
A letter from the Library Director to the donor shall acknowledge all permanent exhibit/display gifts.
Rotating Exhibits/Displays
The Library designates special areas at each location for rotating exhibits and displays. Due to limited space, not all requests can be accommodated. At each location, a librarian or staff member, appointed by the Library Director, processes the applications to exhibit on a first come, first served basis. Applicants are notified accordingly. Permission to exhibit or display works at the Library does not constitute an endorsement of the work. The Library is not financially responsible for loss or damage to artworks or display items. A Library indemnity agreement must be signed by the exhibitor prior to the installation of any exhibit or display. In addition, the exhibitor must sign an agreement to follow all POLICY GUIDELINES.
(May Be Adapted to Specific Location)
1. In accordance with the Library Bill of Rights, St. Johns County Public Library System exhibit space is available "on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use." St. Johns County Public Library System exhibit spaces are open to organizations engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual or charitable activities.
2. Prior to the approval of exhibit/display items, exhibitors must submit a completed application.
3. Appointed librarians or staff members will review applications on first-come, first served basis, and notify applicants accordingly.
4. Displays and exhibits are generally scheduled for no more than 30 days.
5. Exhibits may not support the election or defeat of a political candidate, or be of a partisan nature, or promote a specific religion in an exclusionary manner.
6. All exhibits must be free of charge and open to the public.
7. The individual or group exhibiting is responsible for transporting and later removing all display items in a timely fashion. The exhibitor must use existing Library hanging devices. Exhibitors may use other hanging devices or equipment only with the Library's advanced approval.
8. Exhibits are installed in designated display spaces. No exhibit should interfere with Library operations.
9. The Library is not financially responsible for loss of or damage to artworks or display items.
10. Should a member of the community wish to challenge a particular display or exhibit, he or she must complete a PATRON REQUEST FOR REVIEW form. The Library Advisory Board will review the complaint within ten working days of its next meeting following the complaint. The exhibit will remain in place until a decision has been made.
11. With permission of the individual or group responsible for the exhibit, objects on display may be photographed and reproduced for any Library publication or as publicity for the Library.
12. All artwork needs to have hanging wire already attached.
13. Artist may provide small labels on white paper or white cover stock to be placed next to each work and may include ONLY the title of the work and the medium. No prices are to be posted.

Policy Title: Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) offers Library patrons an opportunity to request and borrow materials that are not owned by the St. Johns County Public Library System (SJCPLS). Through ILL, patrons have access to the circulating collections of library systems in Florida, as well as participating universities and public library systems throughout the United States. ILL services are available to anyone holding a SJCPLS card in good standing. You may place your requests electronically through the Library System's website, by telephone, e-mail, or in-person at the public services desk of any SJCPLS branch. We will only accept 3 requests by telephone at one time.
You may have a total of ten (10) requests outstanding (at any stage of the ILL process: checked out, requested, in transit, etc.) at one time.
Requested material will be delivered to the branch library or bookmobile of your choice. You will be contacted when the material is available for pickup. If you have questions about your ILL request once it has been placed, please call the branch location that you designated as the pickup location. (Please refer to the end of this document for branch phone numbers). Any item received via ILL service is subject to the same fees/fines placed on similar items owned by SJCPLS. In addition, libraries which loan material to SJCPLS may place additional fines/fees on loaned items.
Materials That May Not Be Requested through ILL
-Items currently owned by SJCPLS
-Newly published materials (less than one year old)
-Feature Films less than 3 years old
-Fictional Television Series
-Entire issues of periodicals
-Rare books or rare non-book materials
-Materials for class, reserve or group use
-E-books or e-documents/articles
-Multiple copies of the same title for group use (e.g. book clubs)
Restricted Materials
Most materials acquired through ILL may be circulated. Occasionally, the materials requested may be designated by the lending library as restricted, which means that they must be used in the library and cannot be checked out. They may however, be used in the SJCPLS location of your choice. When restricted materials are received, patrons will be asked to relinquish some form of identification. This identification will be held until the materials are returned.
Patrons may order photocopies of certain materials not available through ILL, such as magazine articles and reference materials. The requester may keep photocopies. Photocopying charges may be incurred. If there is a charge for the photocopy, it must be paid before the request is submitted. Patrons are
encouraged to contact their local branch for questions concerning photocopy requests (see end of this document for branch phone numbers).
Loan Periods
The loan period is determined by the lending library. The requester may keep photocopies. The SJCPLS library will strictly observe any conditions for use of loaned materials that are imposed by the lending library (e.g., short loan period, in library use only, no renewals).
Renewal of Materials
Renewals of ILL materials are at the sole discretion of the lending library and cannot be guaranteed. If a renewal is desired, the patron must contact their local library branch (see end of document for branch phone numbers) at least four working days before the material is due. Staff will attempt to renew the item and notify the patron if the item may or may not be renewed. Maximum number of renewals is one. Overdue materials cannot be renewed.
Overdue Materials
Fines will be incurred for overdue materials at the same rate as similar items owned by SJCPLS. Overdue materials cannot be renewed.
Returning Materials
ILL materials may be returned to any St. Johns County library location. To insure that credit is received for returning an item, patrons are asked to not remove the lending label on the item.
Borrowing Fees
Materials that are only available from libraries outside the state courier service delivery area will incur a minimal fee per item to cover the cost of postage. The fee is due at time of checkout. The patron is responsible for paying the fee once the item has shipped, regardless of whether or not the patron checks out the item. Patrons should check with library staff at their local library for the current fee.
Patrons wanting photocopies or loans from fee-charging libraries must submit cash, check or a money order made payable to SJCPLS before the loan request can be confirmed. The money is held at the borrowing library until the item is received from the lending library. If the item is not filled by the lending library, the patron will be contacted for return of payment.
Patron Responsibility
It is the patron's responsibility to pick up and return requested items by the due date. The patron is also responsible for contacting the library and cancelling the request if the item is no longer needed. If an item is lost or damaged, the patron is responsible for all overdue fines, the cost of the item, and any processing fees charged by the lending library. When materials are lost or are returned late, the borrowing privileges of both the patron and the SJCPLS are jeopardized. Any patron who fails to return an item by the due date will have their library borrowing privileges suspended until the item is returned or paid for. Patrons that fail to pick up their interlibrary loan items by the expiration date will be charged a fee for each item, based on the current Fines and Fees Schedule.
Copyright Restrictions
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research. If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of fair use, that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
Interlibrary Lending to Other Institutions
The SJCPLS will loan materials to all libraries. All individuals outside St. Johns County wishing to borrow a title from our collection must initiate their request through a library.
How To Submit a Request
Libraries may submit requests by mail (ALA form or equivalent required), fax, OCLC, email, phone (confirming fax required).

What Can Be Borrowed
The library endeavors to make available the broadest range of materials for interlibrary loan, with the following exceptions: reference materials, newspapers, audiovisual materials and microforms. The library also reserves the right to refuse to lend materials or to ask a borrowing library to restrict use of materials loaned.
Loan Periods & Renewals
Items will be checked out for six weeks. This allows for two weeks transit time and for a four week check out to your patron. If a title is not on reserve for another patron, the item may be renewed. There is a limit of one renewal.
The St. Johns County Public Library System does not charge for lending materials.
Lost Interlibrary Loan Materials
The SJCPLS will assess a fee on a lost item equal to the replacement cost of the item or its equivalent. The borrowing library is responsible for the payment of this fee.
Up to 25 pages will be provided, within copyright limits. There are no charges for photocopies. Materials will be photocopied from either hard copy or microfilm.

The St. Johns County Public Library System offers limited public access to the Internet for the residents and guest pass holders of the Library system. The Library system strives to uphold the principals of intellectual freedom as expressed in the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights while balancing the interests and standards reflected in the community we serve.
The St. Johns County Public Library System recognizes that the Internet is, for the most part, an unregulated medium. While allowing access to personally and professionally enriching information, it may also enable access to materials that violate local, state and federal regulations as well as materials that are inaccurate, incomplete or that some users find offensive. Just as the St. Johns County Public Library System does not vouch for or endorse the content or viewpoints represented in its collections, it is unable to vouch for the accuracy of information or endorse the various viewpoints accessed from the Internet. All users, especially parents, guardians, caregivers and their children, are strongly encouraged to be good information consumers by evaluating the accuracy and integrity of information used or accessed from the Internet.
The St. Johns County Public Library System offers limited access to the internet, with restrictions to websites containing material involving illegal activity, pornography, or malware. If a patron feels that a website is blocked in error, he or she may complete a site unblock request form from a link on the block screen, which will result in a staff review of the site to determine whether it was miscategorized. Once a site has been reviewed, it will not be considered again for review.
The St. Johns County Public Library System affirms its commitment to assist Patrons in using the Internet safely and effectively. Therefore, the Library will continue to monitor changes and trends in electronic technology that may improve the ability to provide Internet access, and will revise this policy as deemed necessary.
It is the goal of the St. Johns County Library System to provide an atmosphere conducive to the appropriate use of the Library System's services, resources and facilities. Electronic resources, like other Library resources, must be used in compliance with applicable regulations, policies and procedures.
Patrons and guests accessing the Internet in the Library are subject to local, state and federal regulations as well as this Policy, the Patron Code of Conduct and the Public Computer Use Policy. Failure to comply with any applicable regulation or policy may result in termination of a Library computer session, loss of Library privileges (including expulsion from the Library), notice to law enforcement agencies and/or any other action deemed appropriate under the particular circumstances.
The State of Florida defines a minor as a person under the age of 18. For the purposes of this policy, the terms "child", "minor", and "youth" are interchangeable.
The St. Johns County Public Library System has elected to use filtering software to manage internet access in compliance with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
As with other Library resources, it is the responsibility of parents, guardians and caregivers to monitor and supervise their children's access to/use of the Internet and its resources. The St. Johns Public Library System affirms the right and responsibility of parents, guardians and caregivers to restrict their children's access to/use of the Internet.
Parents, guardians and caregivers are encouraged to review resources made available by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at http://www.netsmartz.org. The site provides information related to the safety and security of children using the Internet to access web sites, e-mail, chat rooms, and other forms of electronic communications. As with all Library services, the St. Johns County Library System staff is trained and available to assist parents, guardians, caregivers and children in the safe use of the Internet and its resources.

Long-Range Plan FY2014 – FY2016
Mission Statement

This three year plan was prepared by the Long Range Planning Committee, with input from library staff and the Library advisory Board. Demographic data for St. Johns County was also collected.
The planning process had two phases. The first phase included three meetings held in December 2012, facilitated by Sandra Newell, the library administration consultant with the Division of Library and Information Services at the State Library of Florida. She met with the Library Advisory Board, the Management Team, and the full staff in three separate meetings to
answer the following questions:
- What services and library programs are used often and/or are most appreciated?
- What opportunities could library staff take advantage of to benefit the community?

All groups consistently mentioned the popularity of the following services:

In phase two of the planning process, the Committee developed a community survey.

text: Hi there I wonder, if I can use ISPC as backup mx for another server also. Basically accept incoming email if the other server goes down and then forwarding it when the other server is back up again. Before ISPC I used this http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_backup_mx It seems the Email_Routing and Relay_Recipients options can do it but I'm not sure if those are the correct settings since the backup mx howto says the relay_recipients = option has to be empty.

Brick House opened just before St. Patrick's Day in the former Blowin' Smoke space on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
It's a casual and upbeat spot. The interior has brightly painted walls and a rockabilly ambiance.
But I took advantage of the airy patio on my first visit. It was lunchtime on the official St. Patrick's Day - the warm, relaxed Sunday following the manic parade day.
Several large parties were enjoying Brick House's outdoor seating. It was obvious from the conversations that a number of diners were already making return trips to the newly opened spot.
The ribs seemed to be a particular draw.
In addition to the BBQ offerings, Brick House serves a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, salads and burgers. Special platters include a Brunswick stew pot pie, slow-smoked oxtails and fried chicken livers.
Refreshingly, pretty much everything is priced under $12.
I was tempted to try the MoonPie Burger - yes, it's what you'd imagine - but settled for the Rockabilly Burger, which is deep-fried and topped with pimento cheese.
As I ate the burger and the excellent fries, I enjoyed sampling the nice variety of BBQ sauces that Brick House offers. The flavors were a lot more interesting than my typical mayo and ketchup.
Brick House is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
The restaurant is already promoting a variety of menu specials and hosting live music. Look for updates on Brick House's busy Facebook page.
Brick House is part of a mini-surge in new restaurant openings downtown.
Blowin' Smoke is making headway with the build-out of the former Sol space on Habersham Street. There's activity at the former Sammy Green's on Abercorn Street. Zunzi's has announced a summer opening for a new location in the spot most recently occupied by Isaac's on Drayton.
Other developments are in the works.
Cameron Carpenter opens the Savannah Music Festival in grand style
"Unquestionably, the South has one of the richest musical histories in the shortest amount of time as anywhere in the world," organist Cameron Carpenter said Wednesday on the opening night of the Savannah Music Festival.
Head shaved into a modified mohawk and sporting a flamboyant jacket, Carpenter was speaking down into the sanctuary from the organ loft at Christ Church Episcopal on Johnson Square. He had already performed pieces by Liszt, Bach, Chopin and even Scott Joplin.
Soon, he would finish with some stunning improvisation, his feet occasionally flying along the pedals as if he were tap dancing.
In his remarks, Carpenter suggested there's something distinctly American about such "crossing of musical boundaries."
What a fitting start for the Savannah Music Festival, which has over the last decade routinely crossed genre lines, combined southern traditions and music from around the world and bridged the gap between old and new.
After all, there was the flamboyant Carpenter, the first organ soloist ever to receive a Grammy nomination, giving new voice to a classic instrument in one of Savannah's most historic settings.
More good news on the jobs front
More good news last week from the Georgia Department of Labor.
I generally focus on the statistics for payroll jobs and for the unemployment rate, but both of those are estimates based on ongoing surveys.
So today let's start by looking at the hard number of initial claims for unemployment insurance.
The number of Georgians making initial unemployment insurance claims in February was down 16.5 percent from February 2012. In the Savannah metro area, we saw a year-over-year decline of 15.8 percent.
The number of total claims is still higher than we'd like to see, but this is yet another data point that suggests steady improvement on the jobs front.
The Georgia Department of Labor estimates the Savannah metro area (Chatham, Effingham and Bryan counties) added 3,600 jobs between February 2012 and February 2013. That's an increase of 2.4 percent, about twice the rate needed to keep pace with population growth.
As I noted recently, we're seeing healthy job gains despite stagnation in construction employment.
Residential investment is one of the most important leading indicators for the economy. There seems little doubt that housing construction has bottomed, so we're likely to see jobs added in that sector as 2013 progresses.
We have not yet made up all the ground lost during the protracted and deep recession, much less added enough jobs to make up for population growth since employment peaked in 2008.
But the numbers bode well.

text: Descrizione originale del gestore Flamingo Country Club offers incredible value for money. Set overlooking Lake Tuzla to the south and the wonderful expanse of the Aegean Sea to the north-west, Flamingo Country Club offers the discerning traveller an idyllic slice of Turkey unspoiled by packed beaches and pulsating bars, restaurants and nightclubs. A few minutes' walk away from your accommodation is the main clubhouse where there is a separate water slide, clubhouse pool and indoor pool. There is also a tennis and basketball court and giant chess. The management centre here offers free wifi access to guests and there is a small bar and communal areas with chairs and tables for relaxing downstairs. Flamingo also shares amenities with Turquoise and Royal Heights. Combined, these three resorts offer over 30 communal pools, clubhouses, saunas*, Turkish bath*, beauty therapy*, crazy golf and several cafe-bars. Restaurant facilities can be found at Turquoise and Royal Heights Resorts. There are several beaches with amenities close by, for example MyBeach and Sunset Beach as well as a smaller resort beach located at Royal Heights. For golfers, the main attraction will be Vita Park Golf Resort which is just 10 minutes drive from the resort.Iris 20 is a 1-bed penthouse apartment centrally located just 2 minutes walk from all central amenities on Flamingo Country Club resort. It offers lovely rural and mountain views and is furnished with 1 double bedroom, family bathroom, lounge with integral kitchen / dining area, the apartment is situated close to the communal pool and is a short walk to the clubhouse. The patio leads onto a small garden area and then into more extensive communal grounds. A real plus point for many guests is the fact that it is just a minute or two walk to the clubhouse.Guests enjoy free use of the majority of the resort amenites provides as well as access and use of the facilities offered by sister resorts Turquoise and Royal Heights. This includes access to the private beach and beach club at Royal Heights. FREE shuttle buses run betwen resorts and to the beach club. A mono-rail at the top of Royal Heights takes you to the beach club if you are walking. Local towns such as Bogazici, Guverncinlik, Gulluk and Bodrum Town provide ample entertainment and additional amenities. The Bodrum peninsula is a wonderful place to visit for both long and short stays. Whether you enjoy walking, nature, swimming, bird watching, sunbathing, dining out or golf, everyone will find something they love about this region. For example, golfers can now enjoy a round of golf at the newly open Vita Park Golf Resort at Tuzla alongside the 9-hole course just outside of Bodrum Town. The historic and cosmopolitan harbour town of Bodrum, with its imposing Crusader era castle and bustling port are great places to explore for a day or longer. There are also many shops, bars and restaurants to wine and dine at and the huge indoor market to haggle in. Milas, Bodrum Town and Turgutreis all have the most amazing market days. Moving further afield, chilled out water front restaurants can be found in little tucked away harbours dotted around the peninsula where you can choose freshly caught seafood and relax over a selection of meze and a bottle of wine or a cold glass of beer. Perhaps hire a gullet and crew for a day and enjoy a swim in secluded clear water coves or perhaps a day at the Aqua Park or Dolphin Park. Whatever your choice, getting around the peninsula is a breeze thanks to the relatively good roads and the superb bus (dolmus) links from Bodrum Town.

New York mother of children allegedly stabbed by nanny kept blog, pictures before their death
(AP) NEW YORK - The mother of two young children found stabbed to death in the family's New York City apartment kept a loving blog of her children, detailing their latest antics and interests, and full of happy photos.
Marina Krim returned home on Thursday with a third child to find her 2-year-old Leo and 6-year-old Lucia dead in the bathtub. Police say the nanny lay injured nearby with apparently self-inflicted stab wounds.
In one entry, Krim says that after dropping her two older children at school she cherished the "3 precious hours with little" Leo.
The nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, was found near a knife. She's hospitalized in critical condition.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says it's unclear how long the nanny had worked for the family. No charges have been filed.

It adds a burnt toast character to the beer and I learned my lesson - only use Brown Malt in English Browns and Bitters and in smaller quantities.
Personally, I hate it when "toasty-biscuit" meets hoppy. I don't like hoppy brown-malt rich brown ales or biscuity IPA's or anything like that. I like brown malt in a malt-forward or roasty beer, but I don't care for it (or biscuit malt, special roast, victory malt, or Vienna Malt, for that matter) in hoppy beer.
What do you think of DFH India Brown Ale?
It is fascinating. I used S-05 and I think the neutral Chico yeast makes for a sharper, burnt (almost acrid) taste. I am speculating that the fruitier English yeast rounds out the Brown Malt flavor. I am going to cellar the keg and let the hop bitterness mellow out.

Zimmerman laid to rest
Staff Writer
NEW HAMPSHIRE — An overcast sky with drizzles of rain on a chilly Saturday greeted approximately 500 people turn out for the service at Waynesfield-Goshen High School. Approximately 1,500 gathered at U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Sonny Zimmerman's final resting place at Walnut Hill Cemetery near New Hampshire.
Zimmerman was killed in action July 16 in Afghanistan while on mounted patrol by a rocket propelled grenade.
Services were closed per Sonny's wishes, but many people remarked that the services were a fitting tribute to a man who will be forever remembered in the community as an American hero.
The services opened with the playing of "I'm Proud to be an American" by Lee Greenwood and a final salute by the Ohio Patriot Guard.
Army Chaplain Brian Fruchey, the Rev. Kathleen Hayes, Brig. Gen. Mark Stammer and soldiers that had served with Zimmerman spoke on Zimmerman's service.
The theme from people attending the service was the same as people reflected on Zimmerman's selflessness, his courage in duty and his leadership in putting himself last among men in his charge.
Speakers reflected on Zimmerman being injured on June 3 only to begin asking to be returned after three days despite being injured in battle.
At the cemetery, the connecting highway was shut down to travelers as a large contingent paid their last respects to Zimmerman. Military honors were conducted by the U.S. Army Color Guard and the Cincinnati Emerald Society Pipes and Drums.
Zimmerman's remains were carried to the cemetery by a white hearse from Armentrout Funeral Home behind a large contingent of law enforcement, fire and other emergency personnel, the Ohio Patriot Guard and the Chained Eagles.
