Since I have lost interested in Windows ME II, alias Vista, and totally disgusted with their activation scheme and DRM turning the OS literally into a Police outpost, I have decided to turn my attention to something differently. I have decided to re-acquaint with my long lost friend that I began my computing career in.
I have heard so much about Linux and how little resource it demands to run; it is free (that is what OS should be) and that it has a much stronger security system (a fact that has been questioned); Linux is a strong contender to ME II. So I have decided to check out UBuntu, a distribution or variant of Linux.
Below is my experience of meeting and installing UBuntu:
I happen to have an old discarded Laptop, a Toshiba Satellite 1800 Series with a Celeron 800 and 256M of RAM lying around with Windows XP Pro installed into it that I can use to check out Linux, since UBuntu supports multi-boot option.
Well, it is an old machine but I have been told that Linux does not require much to run. So it sounds like a perfect machine to test Ubuntu out. I am sure ME II will choke on this specification.
The first attempt used a downloaded CD image of the desktop version 7.04. I popped the CD into the machine on Wednesday evening and naively believing that I could use it to config an ADSL modem. How wrong was I.
The Ubuntu Live CD fired up reasonable quick, not without drama, allowing me to experiment with the OS. When it was booting up the graphical environment, an error message box popped up complaining GNOME Settings applet could not start, etc. All I could do was to close it. Some how it did not hold back the starting process.
It looks very nice and the graphical interface was definitely not in the Unix I cut my teeth in in learning C programming back in the '70. It's a nice addition.
Running totally from the CD was really painfully slow and you can hear the poor drive going crazy. So I decided to bite the bullet and to install this onto my hard drive, which still had 6-7G spare. This was the beginning of the fun bit revealing the not so polished side of Ubuntu.
I opened the Install applet on the desktop. For a period that felt like eternity and was indeed eternity in computer time, the CD Rom drive went berserk zipping back and forth lights blinking and all the screen was showing was a frame with the title "Install." After more than a hour or so, a list of locales beginning to appear in a combo box but more were to come.
Not knowing what lied ahead and I was not totally comfortable of risking the machine at that moment, I aborted the installation, an action I regretted. The installation process did not have any instruction on aborting it and shutting down. So I simply powered down the machine forcefully. For some reasons, I did not see the red button on the top right corner of the screen that was designed used to power down.
From that moment on, I could not recover that list of locales. It's strange that running the installation from a CD Rom should guarantee that no previous installation state was recorded but somehow, there were variations between each attempt, indicating something was recorded but in where? In some attempts, I left it ran for hours and all I saw was a frame with nothing in it. It's not a freeze by any definition because the CD was still being read on and off. One had to wonder what it was doing. Some progress message would be greatly appreciated. It couldn't be just reading that hundred or so locale names. Some attempts encountered error with the message complaining about failure to load the paned "OAFIID: GNome_MixedApplet".
After so many failed attempts, I suspected the image might be faulty or the machine could not tolerate version 7.04. So I tried the version 6.06 (alternate).
This ISO image produced even far worse outcomes. It froze my machine trying to populate the list of locales consistently. It might be doing some memory scanning or something but definitely no CD drive activities and no hard disk activity. I had even left it "ran" for hours just for curiosity.
After several attempts, I gave up on this and was even considering trying XUbuntu as it's for lower spec machines. Before doing that, I decided to give 7.04 one final attempt using the "alternate" ISO image. I had no idea what "alternate" meant and I also selected the download for machines with less than 256M, which sounded more suitable for my machine.
This ISO image differed from the other in that it did not start Live CD. It jumped straight into installation mode - in text mode. The best parts were that it was fast and informative comparing to the graphical installation.
I was a bit apprehensive when it guided me through in resizing the NTFS partition and in creating the new one. The on screen message was not clear enough. What the heck? It's a late Friday night and soon into Saturday. So I went ahead.
It finally completed the installation and after removing the CD from the drive, I pressed the button to reboot. Instead of coming up with the familiar graphical screen, after displaying some messages that quickly vanished, I was staring at the black screen with no disk activity and no progress message.
I thought that was frozen, so I forcefully shut it down. When it restarted, it went through some recovery process akin to NTFS' Chkdsk /F . When that was completed, the same black screen came back. Once again I powered it down. On the next reboot, I decided to play with it and ran the memtest. This went through some lengthy tests and after completed one full cycle, I decided to reboot.
Not knowing what would come next, I went to do something else. When I returned to the Toshiba, the Ubuntu log in screen awaited me. Finally success and the Penguin was there to welcome me!
One of my first missions was to check out the command prompt, being a keen command line practitioner, and it's now called the Terminal. The next was to determine what kind of privilege I was given. The installation screen should advise me that I have been give root access rights. I only discovered this on the Ubuntu web page.
While I was exploring this, I stumbled onto some panel that required elevated privilege and I was challenged. This is very similar to the ME II's UAC . The only difference was that I was required to supply the password in Ubuntu, even when I have root access rights but in UAC I would only be required to select the accept button on the consent box.
I began to feel confident and tried my luck in pinging the Internet. No such luck. It turned out that Ubuntu did not recognise my old PCMCIA network card, a Xircom RealPort2 card. So now, I have the most secured Ubuntu in the world and I was happy of progress so far.
Many of my failed attempts might be the result of lack of communication from the installer. Definitely the installation program was not as slick as that from Microsoft. There is room for improvement. But I can put up with that since it's free and it did not treat me as a thief by constantly asking effectively "prove to me that you bought it", the most offensive customer treatment that Microsoft has ever invented.
What I saw impresses me and it's now time to explore - a spirit I have lost, for the first time, on any Microsoft OS, particularly the ME II.

Vibration of Structures Having Changing Boundariesby Manuel A. G. Silva, Asst. Prof. of Engrg. Sci.; Univ. of Wisconsin-Parkside, Racine, WI,
Leon M. Keer, Prof. of Civ. Engrg.; Technol. Inst., Northwestern Univ., Evanston, IL,
Serial Information: Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1971, Vol. 97, Issue 3, Pg. 1007-1017
Document Type: Journal Paper
The response of simple mechanical structures to harmonic oscillation is studied. The boundary conditions are similar to those occuring in contact problems, and they cause the oscillations to occur about a shortened length of the structure. A method analogous to that of Crozier and Hunter is used to treat the changing boundary conditions, and a first approximation that gives the magnitude of the changing boundary region is obtained.

Open call for a video-sprint in the Western Balkans
Civil Rights Defenders is issuing an open call for participation in a video-sprint event in Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia in October 2014. The events will be organised by Civil Rights Defenders in partnership with Youth Initiative for Human Rights Serbia as part of the "Video for Change" project supported by the Swedish Institute within their Creative Force Programme.
Video – sprint events will include a video production training for activists and a 48 hour production session, where all participants will get the opportunity to create five short (up to 1 minute) and one longer (up to five minutes) video clips on their mobile and/or tablet devices. All topics must relate to human rights and represent realistic, relevant and personal stories from each country. After all four events are completed, simultaneous screenings of all the materials created during the events – "200 minutes for human rights" will be organised in each of the participating countries.
"Video is still the most effective way to spread the human rights story, since it is a format enjoyed by both older and younger generations, online and offline audiences. Since video is accessible to all, why not make human right accessible to all as well? said Goran Miletic, Programme Director for the Western Balkans at Civil Rights Defenders.
Anyone who wishes to participate at the events can apply to Marjan Maruna no later than the 27th June 2014 on email@example.com or by completing the online FORM.
When representing your idea, please include specific problems encountered, details of people and locations in no more than 300 words. Upon receiving your idea, Civil Rights Defenders and Youth Initiative for Human Rights from Serbia will evaluate them and invite selected teams to participate on the video – sprints. The number of participants is limited to 20 per country.
We look forward to hearing from youCategories: Uncategorized.

|Mr. Punch and Scaramouche
George Cruikshank, 1827
From the George Speaight Punch and Judy Archive
at The Victoria and Albert Museum
We have previously enjoyed a video by Australian Punch and Judy Man, Chris van der Craats which showed us a recent recreation of some of George Cruikshank's 1827-era drawings of the "Comical Tragedy or Tragical Comedy of Mr. Punch." Here's another recreation—complete with Piccini Punch. This one shows Mr. Punch and Scaramouche.
In the early Nineteenth Century version of the puppet show, Mr. Scaramouche was Mr. Punch's neighbor and the original owner of Dog Toby. Punch encounters Dog Toby who bites his "beautiful nose," and, then, Scaramouche confronts Punch about harassing his terrier. Punch confused Scaramouche by dancing with him, and, then beating him with his cudgel—eventually, taking Dog Toby as his own companion. This video begins just after Punch has had his first meeting with Dog Toby.

Marvin Lee Aday is better known as the singer Meat Loaf. His 1977 album, Bat out of Hell, is one of the highest-selling of all time, a ranking it shares with such all-time classics as AC/DC's Back in Black and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Known for such classic songs as "Two out of ThreeAin't Bad" and "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," the album made the singer a major, if unlikely, star.
While attempting to create a follow-up to the huge hit album, he lost his voice and wasn't able to complete the recording until 1981, by which time he was no longer popular.
The album that he recorded, Dead Ringer, sold only a tiny fraction of the amount that its predecessor sold, and by 1983 he was $1.6 million in debt, forcing him to declare bankruptcy. However, in 1993, his career rebounded in a big way with the release of Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell, which went to number one in three countries and featured the single "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)," which went to number one in no less than 28 countries.

Emner "Knowledge management"
Viser 1-2 af i alt 2
Meaning, Nature, Origins, and ImplicationsFoss, Nicholai J. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Assumptions about the knowledge held by economic agents have been an integral part of the theory of economic organization since its inception. However, recent work—here called "knowledge governance"—has more explicitly highlighted knowledge as both an independent and dependent variable. Thus, a spate of work in management research and new institutional economics has highlighted dimensions such as complementarity, complexity, tacitness, and so on of knowledge assets and shown how knowledge assets, thus dimensionalized, has explanatory value with respect to economic organization. However, knowledge may also be seen as being caused by governance mechanisms and structures; specifically, incentives, allocations of decision rights, organizational structure and so on influence the search for knowledge, and the creation, sharing and integration of knowledge. More philosophically, the concern with the role of knowledge in the context of economic organization prompts a reevaluation of a number of the fundamental assumptions that are often used to guide theory-building in the economics of organization (e.g., Bayesian and game theoretical foundations).

The Role of Web 2.0 Tools for Managing Knowledge at Individual and Organisational LevelsRazmerita, Liana; Kirchner, Karhrin; Sudzina, Frantisek (Frederiksberg, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Purpose – This paper discusses new approaches for managing personal knowledge in the Web 2.0 era. We question whether Web 2.0 technologies (social software) are a real panacea for the challenges associated with the management of knowledge. Can Web2.0 reconcile the conflicting interests of managing organisational knowledge with personal objectives? Does Web 2.0 enable a more effective way of sharing and managing knowledge at the personal level? Design /methodology/approach – Theoretically deductive with illustrative examples. Findings – Web 2.0 plays a multifaceted role for communicating, collaborating, sharing and managing knowledge. Web 2.0 enables a new model of PKM that includes formal and informal communication, collaboration and social networking tools. This new PKM model facilitates interaction, collaboration and knowledge exchanges on the web and in organisations. Practical implications – Based on these findings professionals and scholars will gain a better understanding of the potential role of Web 2.0 technologies for harnessing and managing personal knowledge. The paper provides concrete examples of how Web 2.0 tools are currently used in organisations. Originality/value – As Web 2.0 has become integrated in our day-to-day activities, there is a need to further understand the relationship between Web 2.0 and Personal Knowledge Management (PKM).

[kl-bogel] Butterfly paradise in the Canadian Cambridge
Not far from the Canadian Cambridge, in Ontario, is a wonderful place - butterfly park - Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory. Private, independent from the state, a company living on the proceeds from ticket sales, souvenirs yes muffins in the cafe, is considered one of the most successful in the business. Under the roof of the babochkonariuma settled and remarkably pozhivayut thousands of a variety of butterflies from all corners of our planet, and hundreds of tropical plants, birds, spiders, beetles yes.
(22 photos)
1. Butterflies or correct to say - Lepidoptera, which also include and moths - one of the largest groups among the insects. Lepidopterologi (these are highly specialized entomologists) contains about 170,000 species of these fluttering creatures. At the same time, scientists did not stop and all the time opening more and more new species. A butterfly, meanwhile, toil and sweat (or whatever they have) and took second place in the competition pollinators. At first, of course, laborors-bee.
2. Its name - butterflies - they got through the structure of its wings. It turns out, long ago ancestors of the butterflies had no wings and therefore could not fly. Instead of the wings of butterflies from the ancient to frail tulovke had special outgrowths that protect the airway gap - the stigma. But evolution has decided to launch these strange creatures in the air, so the beginning of these tumors grow, gradually turning them into wings. Membranous wings of butterflies are covered with flat pouches - scales, which are the cause of the diversity of color colorings of these insects. The scales are of two types - Pigment and Optical. The former contain a color pigment, and the color often depends on the menu caterpillars - that eating such colors predominate. Optical flakes - colorless, transparent, perfectly refracting and reflecting light, creating an iridescent glow.
3. Many butterflies are smart coloring - from the top wing of a bright and catchy, bottom - a single color, dark. It is not hard to guess that when you look at the butterfly on top of its mottled coloring provides camouflage against the background of colorful flowering meadows. Well, at rest, sitting, butterfly folds its wings, turning to a potential predator underside of the wings - less noticeable. Another thing - the butterfly Kaligo, the so-called butterfly owl. Particularly when approaching a hungry bird, it opens its wings and turns in the direction of an approaching predator - in this position color of its wings is a bit like the owl's head, which no sensible insectivorous bird will not attack.
4. Seedy kaligo (owl-butterfly) quenches thirst of orange juice with pulp.
5. Forest Nymph (Idea leuconoe) aka Rice Paper (Rice Paper) sunbathing.
Everyone knows that the butterfly short-lived - some just 1-2 days. During this short period, he must find time to eat nectar, mate, lay eggs and, of course, poporhat in the sun. Poor Lepidoptera, usually arranged so that their sexual organs fit together only in individuals of the same species. Even at very high similarity of sexual system does not allow love to indulge in amorous pleasures physically - the key does not fit the lock. But if you really lovers met, then after the marriage flight of the sacraments, they did come into the process of copulation, which lasts from 20 minutes to an hour. All this time the couple lying on the ground, a flower or a piece of stationary and have fun.
6. Common Mormon (Papilio polytes) in our Russian-speaking territories for some reason was named Sailboat Polite, although the literal translation - Common Mormon - is not accidental. Females of this species found on the Indian open spaces, there are three colorings, thereby creating vpechtalenie that the male can mate with several different species. Witty entomologist, not long thinking, dubbed these butterflies Mormons, whose practice of polygamy in high esteem.
7. Gipolimnas Bolin had a quarrel with a neighbor.
Despite the apparent beauty, upon closer inspection, butterflies are quite scary and ugly creatures - affects belonging to the class of insects. Proboscis, antennae and Popeye's head and asked to the big screen in a film about alien invaders. The length of the proboscis - is not a reason for pride, and explained by evolutionary parameter: it depends on the depth of the flower, which is the main menu of the species. I do not know what feeds reveler amfimoya Walker, but his trunk is 25 inches!
Many butterflies from tropical regions prefer color of fruits, especially slightly rotten. But excessive consumption of citrus alcohol can lead to serious health problems, such as right-sided deformation trunk.
8. And this fellow seems to have miscalculated its norm. Or just mix different nectars that (as already known from his student days) do not in any case impossible.
9. Vision in butterflies are not very good (see well-moving bright objects, worse still distinguish), but quite unique. Like many insects, butterflies have a faceted view of bodies, where each eye - it's hundreds and even thousands of small eyes, working on the processing of visual images. Without perceiving red, porhatye distinguish us invisible ultraviolet part of the spectrum.
10. Another representative of the type "I want to be an owl," spying for a leaf of rice paper (see above), host an ultraviolet bath.
11. I have already mentioned that in addition to butterflies in the conservatory still living and all sorts of beetles, birds, turtles, spiders and fish. These are the chicken (quail) are worn through with incredible arrogance, knocking down not only the foot of butterflies, but some are not very large customers. In the photo below, Common Quail (Common Quail) for the whole body walked Peleidu Morpho (Morpho peleides).
12. Incidentally, this is the Morpho Peleida - extremely harmful butterfly. Bright blue color catches the eye immediately. But here is to capture it, I had many run by the conservatory, chasing the poor, did not understand the butterfly. At that time, as their relatives, naporhavshis, sat down on the leaves and branches and take the picturesque poses, these restless never stayed in one place for more than a second. Well the cripple with nadlomannym wing that ran a race with the quail - not in the bill. A rare shot - Morpho Peleida will not fly. Rear view.
13. A rare shot - Morpho Peleida will not fly and does not even going. View from above and behind.
14. Here! Here it is - Zebrova finches (Taeniopygia guttata) - put simply, the Australian sparrow. I just can not quote two or three lines of Wikipedia, which is very finely characterize this beautiful bird, and the average will be understood by any amateur ornithologist:
The genome of zebra finches contains 18,447 genes, of which 17 475 encode proteins. The activity of 807 genes significantly changed when a bird sings. With 10 chromosomes, 15 are scattered fragments of the virus from the group gepadnavirusov (Hepadnaviridae), struck a bird in the genome of the interval from 19 to 40 million years ago.
15. Even not at all versed in the birds the reader to the next photo will detect signs of gepadnavirusa in this female, who with great interest the formless and diffuse beam of feathers on slender legs. "And this is my husband?" Reads a dumb question in front of the unfortunate finches.
16. Butterfly conservatory - is not just a zoo Lepidoptera. The locals here are actively studied and used for experiments of science. Here are grown for future researchers.
17. Hrizipp monarch (Danaus chrysippus) in angiyskoy version is called the far more interesting - Tiger Ordinary or the African Monarch (Plain Tiger or African Monarch). True, her behavior is nothing proud tiger, and especially royal, I have not found. Not only does this butterfly is impregnated by some tasteless alkaloids, soaked in the body is still at the larval stage, and makes it absolutely inedible and tasteless. So she still knows how to pretend to be dead. If some unscrupulous eating predator still try to attack her, the butterfly immediately falls down dead and starts to stink to exude a very unpleasant smell, and discourage babochkoeda every appetite. And in appearance and can not say that she is nasty. Very pretty spotty thing.
18. Postman fellow he is red postman (Heliconius erato) is interesting in that all the time trying to fly through the same route, for which it got its name.

For a couple of hours before the opening of the greenhouse will be come with a tripod and shoot, whatever you want. But after opening babochkonariuma to enter other visitors racks should be removed so as not to disturb others.

Algeria hostages: Hague says no excuse for 'cold-blooded murder'
A British man and an Algerian have been killed by Islamist militants who are holding hostages at an Algerian gas facility near In Amenas.
The group, linked to al-Qaeda, claims the attack is in revenge for Algeria's support for the French intervention in Mali.
Employees seized at the desert site include British, Norwegian and Japanese nationals.
The facility is operated jointly by BP, the Algerian state oil company and Norwegian firm, Statoil.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague, speaking during a trip to Australia, said there was no excuse for "cold-blooded murder".

This week, Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will be supporting the global initiative of Nutrition and Hydration Week with a number of events to mark and raise awareness of the campaign.
Nutrition and Hydration Week 2015 runs from 16 - 22 March and exists to create a global movement that will raise awareness and improve understanding of the vital importance of good nutrition and hydration across social and health care settings.
Throughout the week, the Trust's dietitians will be hosting a number of information stalls at the Hartington Unit on Monday (16 March) and the Radbourne Unit on Tuesday (17 March) to teach patients, staff and visitors about the benefits of keeping themselves well-nourished and hydrated. Also, kindly provided by the Catering Department, on Wednesday each inpatient under the care of the Trust will receive a free bottle of water to encourage healthy hydration levels, in addition to the range of drinks they typically receive throughout the day, and all wards caring for adult inpatients will be provided with a fruit platter to promote healthy snack options and the role of food in hydration. Furthermore, the Trust's dementia wards will host a special Nutrition and Hydration Week afternoon tea party on Wednesday for patients and their carers to reflect on their food consumptions.
Research shows that people who are eating well recover from illnesses quicker, if they are living at home have a better quality of life or if they are living in a residential setting they are more alert and enjoy the activities provided for them.
Derbyshire Healthcare understands the importance of food and its positive impacts on someone's recovery and mental wellbeing; this was highlighted nationally in August 2014 when the Trust was recognised for providing some of the best quality hospital food in the country. Wards based at the Trust's Radbourne Unit and Kingsway Site both received top scores of 100% for the quality of food they serve to both their patients and staff. Derbyshire Healthcare also received high scores for food choice: 89.67% at the Kingsway Site and 89.52% at the Radbourne Unit.
Steve Trenchard, Chief Executive of Derbyshire Healthcare, said: "There are around three million people at risk of malnutrition in the UK – this is an alarming figure but it's an issue we can help to address locally by promoting good practices amongst our staff and the people who use our services.
"Here at Derbyshire Healthcare, we are committed to providing healthy food and drink options as an essential component of effective care and treatment and to our entire workforce. To demonstrate this we have pledged to continue efforts to implement protected mealtimes, improve hydration and fluid management and promote good nutrition messages within the organisation. We have also implemented findings from the Standards for Food and Drink in the NHS report, published in 2014, by reducing the amount of unhealthy food and drink options available in our coffee shops and vending machines such as full-sugar fizzy drinks and multi-packs or large sizes of chocolate, sweets and biscuits.
"I'd urge everyone to take a moment to pledge their support for this important campaign and learn more about how keeping yourselves well-nourished and hydrated can improve your lifestyle by having profound benefits on both your physical and mental health."

The Bearer of Bad News is responding to an article published in the New Times weekly Newspaper, Issue number 069, dated November 05, 2012, entitled
(Deng Dau Deng: Man who advised John Garang on what to do)
authored by Noble John Mading Yak. In that article, Mading was praising one of the spoilsports, Hon. Deng Dau Deng Malek, and trying to reprimand the Presidents work and demeaning others. It is appropriate to quote him. De Yak has said in his article that when we say Dr. John Garang de Mabior has never died, this means that he had some capable people whom he always shared ideas with and said people like Hon. Deng Dau Deng was a good example.
Furthermore, the quote continues: if he is given a ministerial post in the national government, he can change the disappointing face of this nation. Unquote.
Unquestionably, Kiir Mayardit has done more than enough to partisans of sabotage and those who exacerbate many. I thought Mading would stop superimposition. Deng is a Kind of person that gives politics a bad name and he Was uniquely responsible for setting a stage for the recent Mabior de Garang Mabior (Dr. John Garangs son) opposition.
Deng has never been adviser to Dr. Garang either on political issues or the others. It would be better for Mad Mading to mention other people other than Deng Junior. Deng became known to Garang only after his leg amputation but also only after he claimed to be a close relative to Dr. John Garangs wife, Nyandeng (Brother-in-law). His first request was for the survival of his family and a scholarship for the course he finished after long time.
Mabior Garang can be a leader of this country only if his time comes but it is visionless to be mislead and think prematurely by a politician who is a senior member of the ruling party. Mabior Garang speeches always have defined sources. The once green-eyed boy (Deng) can not think right now of being an orphan in this different situation.
Conversely, Deng Dau has been a renowned forwarding agent/boy who tried his best to diminish or defame others in order to control the then sweet yoke of the greed but Kiir decided to help that bluffer.
Mad Mading, what kind of reform do you think Deng can offer? Are you campaigning for presidency on behalf of Deng or what are your words representing? Liberation of South Sudan was a collective task, South Sudanese participated for 21 years not only Deng Dau. It is unwise for Mad Mading to state that without Deng Dau, the result of 21 years of Struggle (CPA) would have not been achieved.
Greed can never be forgotten by those who were breathing during the struggle. In fact, if the current government is being led by a tyrant, there could be no even a handshake with controversial figures like this one and his colleagues. But because Kiir was a man of God, the so-called spy is now an aristocrat; otherwise the messy system as called by Mading Yak Choldit would have been something not to talk of in the streets or therein.
Not only that, he should have been banished from the country for playing a demon role or incapacitated or incarcerated straight away because of earlier memories. The callous of 21 years is canvassing for the unknown.
The article of Mading Yak Choldit gripped my imagination because many people including me tried to extricate themselves during the struggle because of fear from that goody-goody. Mading is deluding himself and so his MP. Their impetuous behaviors one day will get both of them into trouble. What went wrong during the struggle was known to all of us and it can clearly be detailed, but because Kiir is a simple, humble, forgiving messiah and a devoted Christian, he chunked the old issues for the betterment of this nation.
Mad Mading Yak also stated that Deng Dau Deng had been sidelined in the national government. My sincere advice to Noble John Mading is that misinterpretation of facts may get us to hell. My mad boy, this country was not liberated to be consumed by only a few individuals.
South Sudan is a country with 64 tribes whose interest needs to be nationally recognized. Take a look at Kiir Mayardit mercy style of leadership, Deng Dau Deng is an MP of Twic East County and that is already a prestigious position and in addition to that, Kiir appointed him to head the commission (for disabled, widows, etc..) whose budget is nearly equal to a ministry. Two bundles of salaries/Wonga are more to a person of such a character and educational level and one wonders the source of making noise at Kiir Mayardit.
How many positions do you want a man with that controversial character to handle? It is also very important to quote Mading Yak Choldit. Mad De Yak said and I quote, that Deng a good dad who can never abandon his children, he is a good dad who can never eat before his children. He is a simple man who lives a simple life with his family in a small Compound which he built with his own Salary. (End of quote). Noble Mading Yak is a crazy toddler who can even be good-fella.
Mad Mading has a reasoning capacity of a 5-month old child. Do you know that Deng is having shares allegedly with the controversial Ayat company? Who told you that Deng is the poorest person among other officials? Do you not think that the money generated from this foreign company is even enough to build a house? The question a wise South Sudanese can ask is, from which country does this company (Ayat) come from and what is the hidden motive of the company before a government top official could be pushed by ignorance and pulled by money?
I was also shocked when I saw (MP) Dengs photo on the newspaper in August 2011, advertising for JIT water by appealing to the public that JIT water was safe to drink and nothing to fear from. This role could only be played by a marketing person not by such a national figure. No way, a cashier, an auditor and account controller of his own commission could never prosper, my friend. He has built many things, leave alone a small compound of such assumption.
It is better to stop demeaning others for the sake of selling someone who was/is seriously dangerous. The head of gossiping club is visible everywhere. Any way, he might be the one bragging to that confused group and his family in order to come out with useless point of finality. He might be on the top of the list of 75 people accused of having looted the country in contradiction to what Mading has said.
Mad Mading De Yak Choldit also authored that if his father, Martin Majier Gai, and John Garang de Mabor, among others from his clan had lived up to this time, the bad situation would have been averted. De Yak should know that the untimely death of our great leader John Garang is regrettable to all of us and the world in general.
Mama Eve and Dad Adam (Old Testament) never died in one minute for sure, Mading De Yak. Our heroes/heroines fought a good fight and the blood they poured is what concluded the final walk to freedom. Seeing them departing before witnessing the birth of the republic of South Sudan is soul-destroying. May their souls rest in an eternal peace. But Mading De Yak, there is no way of wishing the living heroes/heroines bad luck and praying for what God has never created to happen to others.
Mading must digest, all the 64 tribes of South Sudan including the Nuba who are still a falling prey to the authoritarian regime in Khartoum participated. Blue Nilers can never be forgotten for the cause. People died in large numbers from three regions of South Sudan plus contested two regions of our friends, Blue Nile and South Kordofan.
We know where the bastards are and I do not mind of humoring the old fool for a while. Summarily, Deng was not the only person confronting the enemy. After he allegedly shot his own leg with his own gun which resulted into the amputation, he resorted to a new deadly strategy of mucking others for nothing. He became a real insider and inexperienced consultant for the sake of survival.
De Yak continued by saying if Malong was made a minister of National Security and Deng for a strategic other position, then, there would be a reform. Let me say that all of us were aware of who was always behind the coups that created a lot of fear among the populace after the signing of the CPA. Coup is being used as a short cut to those positions stated by Mad Mading. This was what went wrong undoubtedly in the Country.
If South Sudan is failing to govern itself very well, then these two guys Mad Mading is praising to bring changes are part of the evil and the reforms De Yak is talking about to come from them would just be a myth. It is illicit to choose the position in the government and go ahead to create chaos. Kiir bears a blame for always seeing saboteurs as leaders.
Interestingly, Mad Mading de Yak added that and I quote: He (Deng) is the only man who has changed the politics of Twice East County. Schools, health centers, roads are being developed under his leadership unlike his predecessor who was doing nothing, and very extravagant by spending a lot of money in London because of mere Malaria infection. Unquote.
The said predecessor was actually sick that resulted into surgery. Parliamentarians were all aware of the danger Chol (predecessor) went through, only Deng used this bad allegation against his predecessor to win voters during 2015 elections and to continue rallying others for the purpose of next elections. The development that is taking place in Twic East County can be stated by somebody who hails from there. This braggart always mentions stupid things to be the best and I am not really sure of any rapid development in his county.
Mad Mading could have appreciated him (MP) not because his name (Deng) never appeared among the first 27 officials who have been named of taking away millions of dollars from this Country but because of his work in Twic East County. Let me say that 27 officials were just assumed and published by enemies of the state. This could have been the work of an insider with an outsider or outsider with motives of tarnishing our image. This statement might have been passed to or directly to Mading De Yak from that dullard. It was very clear that some MPs from the ruling party incited the public to demonstrate so that the names of 75 officials must be revealed.
Mad Mading, if you do not know how to thank people, then you must shut-up thanking the criminals/spies. Does the President know who is in connection with an American Journalist, Mr. Boswel?
Resettlement was an obvious project not because Deng has been the President of Kakuma Refugee Camp. UNHCR has been there before you and Deng Dau, and it has been doing this work in war affected Countries like Rwanda among others. Going to USA, Australia, and Europe among others was not an individual effort my friend. The project of going abroad was initiated by Dr. Garang himself not Deng as Mad Mading suggested.
Deng is not a store of Garangs information at all, as Mad Mading said. Garang was more clever enough than him (Deng). Garang has never been a gossiper, Garang was not jealous or envious like that man and Garang never had a gossip column.
Mad Noble Mading de Yak, gotcha! Garang has stored information somewhere else not in a person who indulges in hypocrisy.
(To be continued only if Mad Mading de Yak responds to this article)

Today Republican 'leadership' announced that they are united and their agenda is strong. They continue to claim that they will 'repeal and replace' Obamacare with something 'bigly.' Who are they attempting to convince? They live in a different world than the majority of the American people. Thousands of men and women have filled town hall meetings, crowded the offices of Republican politicians, and protested in America's streets to tell these hypocrites that they want to keep their Obamacare.
While Republicans continue their attempts to destroy all the achievements of President Obama, they are ignoring the facts. The majority of Americans supported a real president. Their ambitions are thinly disguised; they want to place the majority in servitude and allow the wealthiest Americans unfettered ways in which to increase their wealth and destroy my America.
Devin Nunes is the chairman of the House committee investigating Trump's obvious ties with Russia. He has proven himself to be a puppet for Trump. Democrats demanded that he resign, but Speaker Ryan refused to take any action to ensure that the hearings are conducted fairly.
Republicans continue to prove themselves incompetent. They have zero ability to govern, and do not represent the 99 percent. They are the party of special interests, and for them the rest of the world is non-existent.
We can rid our nation of traitors and hypocrites in November of 2018. Get out the vote.

A "Normal" American Massacre: Gun Violence in America
One thing likely to be missing: any rational discussion of the need for more gun control in this country. We might not be able to prevent all dangerous individuals from getting guns and wreaking havoc, but doesn't it make sense that if we reduce the supply and ease of access to guns in this society, we might see less of these awful events? I fear that our public officials are too afraid of the NRA (the politically powerful National Rifle Association) and the gun lobby to engage in any such discussion. We can look forward to the next massacre, more politicians calling for prayers for the dead and their families, more media stories about pathetic victims, tearful survivors and traumatized families, and nothing will be learned. This country is brain-dead when it comes to the issue of gun violence. It is one of the saddest things about America. As far as I can tell, the Zombie Apocalypse is already here.
As a Pagan, I see all the more need to focus our spirituality on peace and reconciliation, not fetishes about weapons and fantasies of violence. We do indeed have in Pagan mythology gods with weapons and there are indeed tales of wars. Let us make sure to interpret these things metaphorically and spiritually so that the weaker-minded who are among us now or who may come after us later do not see these elements of mythology as literal instructions for what to do in society today, like right-wing racist nuts such as Anders Behring Breivik who blend in the mythical scenario of Ragnarok from Norse mythology with their own hateful fantasies of "race war." We can be fighters for peace and justice. We can look to smash intolerance and inequality, not the skulls of enemies. We can use the sword of intellect and understanding to cut through ignorance, like the thunderbolt-weapon (vajra) that symbolizes the Vajrayana school of Tibetan Buddhism. In fact, there is much for thoughtful Pagans to consider about how Buddhism put a psychological spin on gods of anger and war and used them as tools for meditative self-transformation.
Above all, let us refrain from glamorizing violence and weapons. In our world today, there are simply too many things going on in our culture that point us toward violence, and so very few that point us away. Let's be on the right side of that equation.

Great post, and much that needed saying. The suggestion to look to Tibetan Buddhism for processes, myths and metaphors to transform, not subjugate or sublimate our violence is spot on.
This is one of the few occasions I have respect for the conservative Australian Prime Minister John Howard, and how he oversaw the unpopular gun restrictions here following the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996. Why such actions seem beyond even discussion in the USA is beyond me. It is very sad.
Thanks, again :)

Maelstrom, you are right in concluding that such acts spring from a culture of violence. Americans believe that violence is a legitimate avenue for solving problems, or at least violence is a legitimate last resort. We must transform the cultural narrative of our society which teaches us that aggression has always been the foundation of America's success and strength. We equate violence with strength.
I agree that politicians and our other 'leaders' will make the usual empty gestures about our need to make a change in our society. But whether they put the blame on guns, lack of mental health care, violent video games, or (as some have suggested) wearing masks to movie theaters(!), no real transformation will occur. Why? As Peregrin states, we do not seem to be able to discuss - let alone change - our culture of violence. The answer lies in the fact that America has the largest military force on Earth. America's leaders may want to contain violence in our society, but they do not want to end it. They do not want to turn Americans into conscientious objectors. Giving up violence means giving up our aggressive military might. Sure, we may have a national defense force, like the Swiss, but this is far from a military willing to fight oil wars for Haliburton. Our military policies and our culture of violence exist in a symbiotic relationship. Personally, this Heathen is willing to give up our military ambitions, and also to see war Gods, such as Thor and Tyr, in the metaphorical terms you describe.

Today Is Farmer's Market, Take #3
In the parlance of film directors, oftentimes Take #3 is the first "best take," because Take #1 usually is kind of a rehearsal and Take #2 is an experiment.
But Take #3, well…that's usually when the rehearsal slams into the experiment and good things start to happen.
Today is Take #3 of the Burien Farmer's Market at its new location on 10th Ave SW between SW 152nd and SW 151st. As usual, it opens at 11am and goes to 6pm (but if you really want the good, fresh stuff, come on down now as vendors are almost done setting up and from what we gather, most are open to selling now!).
It should be a great Take too (um, we mean #3…), as rehearsals and experiments are over and now things are jiving.
And, today is the day that the B-Town Blog will have a table as well – so pop on over and say hi (even just to spite the gray weather gods).

Cedar Falls Downtown Main Street serves as a success model for the rest of the country. Main Street went from being totally economically depressed in the 1980's to being a vibrant community for living, working, shopping, dining, entertainment and history. Cedar Falls was a recipient of the Great American Main Street national award in 2002. In 2010, the district received the national honor of being named one of the "2010 Dozen Distinctive Destinations" in the country. Additionally, the district is certified by the State of Iowa as an Arts and Cultural District. Offering an eclectic mix of shops and dining, our Main Street has become a vacation destination.
Cedar Falls offers a mix of modern amenities while honoring its past - where cornfields and prairie grasses meet progressive industrial and commercial development. Nowhere is that more evident than on Downtown Main Street. You will find the latest in modern fashions, art, restaurants, biking and running equipment, gourmet foods, and nightlife, all nestled in century old buildings. You can park your car or bike and stroll through the eclectic shops, take a walk on the trails, even visit a museum! The Cedar Falls Historical Society is an active partner in the downtown district, managing four museums in the neighborhood.
While visiting you can take in a local production at the historic Oster Regent Theatre, then spend a comfortable night at the Blackhawk Hotel, listed in the National Register of Historic Places. They are the oldest continuously-operating hotel site in Iowa located in downtown Cedar Falls. If not quite ready for sleep, Main Street also provides an active nightlife.
Renovated upstairs apartments on many of the buildings and a new industrial loft neighborhood recently opened on State Street, parallel to Main Street, make living downtown a very viable option.
With recreational activities ranging from kayaking on the Cedar River, exploring the 100 mile plus trail system, visiting a museum, to shopping and dining - all within a short radius of our acclaimed Main Street - Cedar Falls connects a dynamic downtown with its natural surroundings.

2. Cheap
As a broke college student, I can appreciate the fact that eating healthy can be very inexpensive. Eggs are a great way to get the protein in my diet that I need, without breaking my wallet. A dozen eggs can be found most grocery stores for around $2, which makes each egg cost around 17 cents each– not bad! Definitely cheaper than a bag of chips or a package of cookies.
3. Versatile
Eggs can be scrambled, over-easy, poached, sunny-side up, or fried. You can put them in breakfast burritos, throw a sliced hard-boiled egg on a salad or sandwich, make a quiche, egg salad sandwich, or deviled egg appetizer. And who doesn't love a good omelet or frittata? Make eggs your friend for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
5 Facts About Eggs:
1. Recommendations for Egg Storage:
- Eggs can be safely stored in the fridge for 2-4 weeks and in the freezer for up to 1 year.
- Raw yolks/whites can be stored in the fridge for 2-4 days and in the freezer (at 0 degrees F) for 1 year.
- Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the fridge for 1 week, but are not recommended to be frozen.
- Liquid eggs or egg substitutes can be stored in the fridge for 10 days if unopened, 3 days if opened, and stored in the freezer for up to 1 year if unopened.
2. Casseroles and dishes containing eggs should be cooked to an internal temperature fo 160 degrees F as measured by a food thermometer
3. Egg cartons with the USDA grade shield on them must supply the "pack date" which is the date the eggs were washed, graded, and packed in a carton. The date is a 3-digit number based on the Julian dates. This means that January 1st is denoated as 001 and December 31st is 365.
4. Eggs are not federally required to have an expiration or "sell-by" date on them, however some states require it. Eggs should be safe to use for 3-5 weeks after purchase, even if it passes the printed expiration date.
5. Recommendations regarding eggs. One egg contains 185 mg of cholesterol, and the recommendation for those with normal LDL cholesterol levels is to consume <300 mg of dietary cholesterol per day. People who have high LDL cholesterol levels or are taking cholesterol-lowering medications should aim for <200 mg of dietary cholesterol per day. It is not necessary to avoid eggs in order to eat heart-healthy. An egg a day can fit into the average person's healthy diet, as long as they aren't filling the rest of their diet with other cholesterol-laden foods such as pork, steak, shrimp, butter, and other animal products. If you don't want to give up your egg-a-day routine for breakfast, make an effort to include plenty of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains in your lunch and dinner. On the other hand, if you don't want to give up your pork-chop-a-day routine for dinner, then maybe cutting back to just a few eggs a week might be a smart idea. It's all about balance. Use your daily 300-mg of dietary cholesterol budget with care.
6. Egg substitutes are a great way to add some more volume to your omelets, without going overboard on your eggs. If you're trying to eat heart-healthy, try using 1 whole egg and 2 servings of egg whites/egg substitutes in your omelet instead of 3 whole eggs. Liquid egg whites and Egg Beaters (made from egg whites, with added flavor and yellow color to resemble liquid whole eggs) can be found at any grocery store and have 25 calories per 3 tablespoons, 75 mg of sodium, 0 mg of cholesterol, and 5 g of protein.
Interested in more information? http://www.incredibleegg.org/ has dozens of recipes as well as fun facts about eggs. University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Extension has great information about how to cook your eggs thoroughly and safely so you can avoid the risk of salmonella (including everybody's favorite, "no eating raw cookie dough made with eggs!").

Oh man, I just had some horrible flashbacks of More, losing to nothing but Wall Dives and Chickenwings…:sad:
The ST match vids + discussion thread
do you know where can i get some more footage of him? especially his vega. :badboy:
and do you know where can i find vids of ARG's vega?
This is not enough wall dives.[/sarcasm]
Couldn't even watch the whole thing.
Link doesn't work. :sad:
I can get to the site, but I can't extract anything out of the .ZIP files because my system isn't configured for Japanese text, so it trips over itself when it tries to do anything that involves it.
damn, blanka is the truth.
bumped into this one
funny stuff is it was made on 3DO and in 1996
i love it
Anyone else get flashbacks of the Gradius II and III intros from the first part of that movie?
All the characters' voices are too high… sounds like they've inhaled helium. And some of the sound effects sound different… particularly the medium punch one,
Good stuff. Also good to see that I'm not the only 'Sim who has a bit of trouble with mass chicken winging.
Gian should've just kept sliding instead of trying to throw.
i'm surprised there werent any o. sagats. like vega, he has some braindead tactics but still, sim kills everyone in the end of the day.
ryu, guile and sim seems to be the most popular characters in japan.
right now, i'm not too sure is bison even top tier. he gets locked down really easily and has no reversal against most stuff in the game.
fei vs bison seems to be a fun match. i wonder who comes out on top tho. fei has an invincible anti air thats safe even when blocked and can lock bison down with chickenwing kicks but bison has slightly longer pokes and a much bigger throw range. i think bison edges fei out by a bit.
O. Sagat is soft banned in Japan, which basically means you can use him, but you're gonna get the evil eye from everyone in the arcade.
Choi said when he visited that they don't use him, because they think he's too easy/basic/boring.
that i know and i find that really weird since vega is not softbanned.
Well maybe he is but hes still used, just not as much as other characters tho and like NKI said, japan have some of the cheapest players in the world.
Good stuff nohoho. :tup:
He's posted some good Otochun matches vs. quality Boxers.
Im looking for another DL site that I can get the Aniken V Diago matches from.
My pc crashed that had them and I had not backed them up. PLEASE HELP!!
I have them !
Bob… I have all the matchs on my personal pc. If you can't find them, let me know. I can burn them to a cd/dvd and mail them your way. Or, I can send them to you via MSN. Let me know. :tup:
Diago Vs. Anti-Ken vid's.
I did this for the CigarBob. :wgrin:
This is the link to the Diago Vs. Anti-Ken vid's.
I think there are 17 (maybe 19) matches.
There is some serious SF happening in these videos. :karate:
I'll leave them up for you all, until I remember to take them down.
I added the evo 2k5 vids to my youtube
Have fun.
wtf, fei long won a tourney?

In a shocker of a US presidential election, Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president-elect of the USA. Despite his deplorable views on everything from women's rights to human rights; the majority of American voters chose to "Make America Great Again."
The internet, however, had other ideas and gosh is it entertaining.

Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes About MaskQuotes about: Mask
The Great Man... is colder, harder, less hesitating, and without fear of 'opinion'; he lacks the virtues that accompany respect and 'respectability,' and altogether everything that is the 'virtue of the herd.' If he cannot lead, he goes alone... He knows he is incommunicable: he finds it tasteless to be familiar... When not speaking to himself, he wears a mask. There is a solitude within him that is inaccessible to praise or blame.
Mediocrity is the most effective mask a superior spirit can wear, because to the great majority, which is to say, to the mediocre,it will not suggest a disguise:--and yet it is precisely for their sake that he puts it on--so as not to arouse them, and, indeed, not infrequently to avoid this out of pity and benevolence.
The discipline of suffering, of great suffering- do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? That tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, its shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, preserving, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness- was it not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?
Deception, flattering, lying, deluding, talking behind the back, putting up a false front, living in borrowed splendor, wearing a mask, hiding behind convention, playing a role for others and for oneself -- in short, a continuous fluttering around the solitary flame of vanity -- is so much the rule and the law among men that there is almost nothing which is less comprehensible than how an honest and pure drive for truth could have arisen among them.
It is, indeed, a fact that, in the midst of society and sociability every evil inclination has to place itself under such great restraint, don so many masks, lay itself so often on the procrustean bed of virtue, that one could well speak of a martyrdom of the evil man. In solitude all this falls away. He who is evil is at his most evil in solitude: which is where he is at his best - and thus to the eye of him who sees everywhere only a spectacle also at his most beautiful.

- A comparison between ski racers with and without ACL reconstruction
- 10.1111/sms.12314
- Abstract:
- Due to a high incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) re-injury in alpine ski racers, this study aims to assess functional asymmetry in the countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), and leg muscle mass in elite ski racers with and without anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R). Elite alpine skiers with ACL-R (n = 9; 26.2 ± 11.8 months post-op) and uninjured skiers (n = 9) participated in neuromuscular screening. Vertical ground reaction force during the CMJ and SJ was assessed using dual force plate methodology to obtain phase-specific bilateral asymmetry indices (AIs) for kinetic impulse (CMJ and SJ phase-specific kinetic impulse AI). Dual x-ray absorptiometry scanning was used to assess asymmetry in lower body muscle mass. Compared with controls, ACL-R skiers had increased AI in muscle mass (P < 0.001), kinetic impulse AI in the CMJ concentric phase (P < 0.05), and the final phase of the SJ (P < 0.05). Positive associations were observed between muscle mass and AI in the CMJ concentric phase (r = 0.57, P < 0.01) as well as in the late SJ phase (r = 0.66, P < 0.01). Future research is required to assess the role of the CMJ and SJ phase-specific kinetic impulse AI as a part of a multifaceted approach for improving outcome following ACL-R in elite ski racers.

The Gymkhana Ground is a home ofr matches like leagues and national matches. The Gymkhana Ground is ideally a small ground but has a seating capacity of 2,000 people. For those who love cricket this would be his favorite venue to visit and if you want cricket coaching then you can approach here with some of the best coaches available for you.
Gymkhana Ground is open for clubs and private teams for playing matches and for practices. By paying Rs 10,000 per team you can practice and play matches. Its also available for private purchases for one day matches at a price of Rs 12,500. There are around more than 200 clubs registered with Hyderabad Cricket Association and they are responsible for organizing and scheduling leagues matches between them.
The Gymkhana Ground includes a well equipped and maintained gym. It provides all the necessary fitness equipments to the players who tour as a national player. In addition to the pitch and playing area there is considerable amount of area dedicated to net practice. This is also the host for Duleep Tropy & Ranji Trophy matches held in Hyderabad.
Apart from that the office, store room and rest room are very badly maintained which makes you feel that you are still in 20th century when cricket was cricket but not religion.
The Gymkhana Ground is maintained by the Hyderabad Cricket Club. The Gymkhana Ground is the place from where the guns from Hyderabad are produced who all came here to practices. It includes players like VVS Laxman, Mohd. Azharrudin, Shiv lal Yadav, Venkatapathy Raju among the prominent players.
How to Reach
The closest land mark to Gymkhana Ground is Paradise Circle. From the Paradise Circle you need to take on to the Road leading towards Mumbai i.e., National Highway number 9 and few distance you would be able to spot Gymkhana Ground. The Gymkhana Ground includes Gymkhana Cricket Stadium visible from the Sardar Patel Road Flyover at Secunderabad Patny Center. Also adjacent to Gymkhana Ground we have Parade ground.
There is nothing much for the visitors or the tourists but its a point where the cricketer meets. Here is the Google Maps direction guide –

This place is GREAT and Molly is the BEST! PERFECT location in Deal and extra quiet. Never did get a chance to meet Mollybut she seems a long time friend. NO surprises extra nice and clean and VERY spacious and comfortable. We are from Michigan USA and have come to Deal many time and this by FAR the nicest place we have stayed.
Molly, if you read this we'll be back next year. Thanks SO much !!
Terry and Beverly Montgomery, Traverse City, Michigan
What a lovely place for a family holiday. Beautifully decorated with everything needed. It felt like being in a well-maintained home rather than a rental... If you have small children and want a night out - ask Molly and Angus for their babysitter's details - the best babysitter we've ever had - wish we could've taken her back to London with usSally -August 2015
Long weekend in Deal. Living in Deal, I was looking to rent a lovely apartment that would be a wonderful place to stay for future in laws coming from abroad for a wedding.
This apartment was ideal. It is spacious and tastefully decorated. It has very large bedrooms, with comfy beds, and great towels and bed linen.
It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the hosts made us feel very welcome. They were easy to liaise with and the little treats and extras they provided made my family feel very at home.The apartment is in a great position, right on the seafront, with only a short walk into town.
I would highly recommend it!
We had a wonderful stay at 47 The Marina for our sons wedding.
The accommodation was perfect for our needs with family and friends staying and calling along with preparations for the wedding.
The apartment was very well appointed and spacious with the bonus of 3 bathrooms. It was lovely to be right by the beach, quiet yet so close to the town.
We were made very welcome by Molly and appreciated her good wishes for our very special occasion. Also the sun shined throughout our weekend of celebrations as predicted by Molly.
Deal by the Med. Just back from our fourth time at 49 The Marina where once again we had a fantastic family holiday with our three young children. We keep coming back for three reasons: first 49 The Marina is so well placed and nicely kitted out; second because Angus and Molly are so welcoming and third we seem to have such luck with the weather - hence the title of my review this time. Even so, with many English Heritage and National Trust properties nearby as well as miniature railways, wildlife parks and other attractions there is all sorts of not-so-nice weather activities too. This time we also discovered the complimentary tennis membership of the local outdoor lawn tennis club and used it. All in all highly recommended.Holiday Lettings verified reviewer -June 2017
Xmas in Deal. We had an excellent Christmas in a lovely comfortable apartment! Opposite the sea in Deal we loved it. The kitchen (where I cooked Xmas dinner) was the best stocked kitchen we have ever had in a holiday rental. Molly and her family could not have been more helpful and we really liked Deal . Nice restaurants and a really nice local pub 5 minutes down the road The Forresters (I think) ! A 7 Mile walk along the coastal footpath on Boxing day was lovely and the icing on the cake . Good car parking which is important to us, having a big car and trailer. Cannot recommend it this property enough ! BRILLIANT.
Christine Baldwin
Home from home This is not just a holiday let this is a home from home. Within an hour of arriving everything felt very familiar and cosy.
It is an ideal base both within Deal and the surrounding areas.
Parking and the beach literally on your doorstep.
The linen and bedding was very clean and soft. The house itself is very warm and there is no shortage of hot water. Utensils, crockery and cutlery all in abundance.
The gifts left by the owner on arrival are a lovely touch.
I recommend the Smugglers Inn, St Margarets on Cliffe for a meal, great chef.
Fantastic seaside star. We just got back from a fantastic wintry week away here and despite going off season we were lucky with great weather at this ideal seaside apartment. The surrounding area has so much to do but the flat's beautifully decorated and felt so homely for us and our 2 year old daughter. It's got everything you need, lots of space with all the little details thought of, great set up for kids and you can literally hear the waves from bed. Very relaxing times. Molly and Angus and the family were on hand for any issues and were a pleasure to deal with from booking through to departure. Looking forward to going back.Toby B -November 2016

The Power of National Accounts
AAMCO franchise owners benefit from our relationships with companies large and small
AAMCO has been successful for several decades in establishing relationships with large businesses that have fleets of vehicles to maintain. The relationships drive traffic and significant revenue to franchisees.
Our National Accounts program is more than 30 years old. Now that we've entered the Total Car Care market, we are leveraging our expertise in transmission repair to step up our service to our fleet customers so they come to us for the routine maintenance fleet vehicles need on a day-to-day basis.
How the program works
We have agreements with companies across the nation that own or lease fleet vehicles. When these vehicles need service, their drivers are directed to a nearby AAMCO franchise location. AAMCO bills the national account customer and pays the franchisee for the work. By partnering with sister company Global Powertrain Systems (GPS) to build a state-of-the-art remanufacturing facility, we have also opened up new sales opportunities. A lot of companies will only work with providers who can offer remanufactured transmissions, because they want their own maintenance teams to be able to quickly bolt a transmission into place and get their vehicle back into service. Thanks to GPS, our owners can now directly sell remanufactured transmissions to those customers.
Once fleet vehicles come into our stores, they are in our databases. We work hard to ensure their experience with us is positive so that they return to us for their Total Car Care needs.
