Perfect Getaway Home
Six couples each of us had our own bedroom with a bathroom. The private beach was amazing
Wonderful vacation
We recently stayed at the Casa Playa de Turtugas from 11/1/12 to 11/8/12. We had a wonderful time, and enjoyed the house very much. It is a spacious, beautiful home - clean and well maintained. The house staff was amazing - Vicky, Alicia, and Mari met all of our needs and then some. They cooked delicious meals for us, and accommodated our gluten free diet without any problems. They anticipated our needs, greeting us in the mornings with coffee, and remembering who liked which type of fruit. They were helpful in creating the menu of meals, and getting us a grocery list. They had suggestions for us for sightseeing, and local tips, etc. We cannot say enough good things about them, if we ever return it will absolutely be because of these 3 women - they are worth their weight in gold!! A few things are worth mentioning. The house description is a bit misleading. This is NOT a beachfront estate. It is an OCEANfront estate. The backyard ends in what is basically a cliff. There is a fence, and a sheer drop straight down to the ocean. Ernesto, the property manager, tells us that Hurricane Sandy swept away the beach days before our arrival - however, we were told that the "beach" is apparently seasonal. In the summer months there is a small bit of beach but in the winter months there is not. This was a big disappointment to us, as we had 4 small children with us who were very much looking forward to a week of playing in the sand, and "beachfront" is exactly why we picked this particular property. Fortunately, there is a small operation about 5 minutes down the road called the Pirata Morgan - you can pay a small fee and spend the day enjoying their beautiful beach. We did that twice, and it was quite nice. About that road - also not mentioned in the description of the house. The "road" is in fact a very poorly maintained dirt road. From where the real road ends to the house is exactly a 12 minute VERY bumpy and SLOW trip by car. We found that the house was a full 45 minutes from the Cancun International Airport, and it took us about the same amount of time to get to downtown Cancun. This is misleading in the description, where they tell you it is only 25 minutes away from Cancun. Definitely not so!! The house had some minor issues - ants run rampant, hot water was erratic in the showers, the "hot" tub was really a "whirlpool" with no heated water, etc. None of them were dealbreakers, it is a nice house. Also be aware there are 2 large dogs. They were chained.

It's foolish to think even professional awards committees don't have an "OK, this shit is getting ridiculous" limit in place for their shows - if for nothing more than guilt over contributing to drama and resentment.
In that respect, you must really hate the Academy Awards when they give a movie more then two awards
It's a preponderance thing. When you have a contest that gives out 30 or so awards, winning 3 isn't a big deal. When you have 10, 3 is a much bigger deal. There's a point at which if feels like it's no longer about recognition, but rather, about rubbing everyone elses' face in it.

Ricky May and Terror To Love had a little disagreement last Wednesday.
It went something like this.
Terror To Love, being a big, brash pacing stallion who has been getting life pretty much as he likes it recently, got bored at the end of the official Cup trial at Addington and decided to pull up.
No harm there. After all, it was only a trial and he was well clear of his rivals.
But his driver May, armed with the experience of having won four New Zealand Cups, knows there will be no room for such complacency in the glory stages of today's $600,000 classic at Addington.
So May said some pretty harsh things and when that didn't work he gave Terror To Love a friendly little tickle on the rump with the whip.
And he kept tickling him until about 600m after the finish line of the 2600m trial.
"I figured he has to run 3200m in the Cup so I made him run it last Wednesday as well," May told the Herald.
May says Terror To Love's laziness last Wednesday isn't an issue but he wanted to make sure it won't be.
"It is the first time he has done that with me," he says.
"Sometimes when they have been winning easily they can get that way, especially stallions.
"So I didn't actually hit him, I just flicked him to make him realise we have work to do and that he can stop when I tell him he can stop.
"Apart from that, he felt great."
With that equine arrogance taken out of the equation, there don't appear to be many other major obstacles standing in the way of Terror To Love's Cup defence today.
He was freakish winning the great race last season and his lead-up form has been significantly more dominant this term.
The 5-year-old gives his supporters nervous moments before the start as he fidgets and rears, but almost always paces away cleanly.
From barrier two, May should have him handy and be able to impose his will on the race when the tactical dangers arrive.
"I can drive him confidently, he has earned that right," says May in reference to the pair taking the Flying Stakes at Ashburton three weeks ago by the scruff of the neck.
So Terror To Love has the manners, the motor, the driver and now the motivation - thanks to last week's little disagreement - to win again today.
Which leaves two questions: is he worth backing at his $2.40 quote? And if not, who can beat him?
The bookies' price is driven by his pre-post support and lack of love for his rivals, but it should ease, at least slightly, today.
But if this NZ Cup field in their current form ran this race 100 times, Terror To Love would probably win it more than 50 times, so factoring in a small margin for error, $2.50 sounds fair.
As for his rivals, there are plenty of stalkers but few bullies who can deny Terror To Love his way and put May in the unenviable position of having to second guess himself.
Franco Ledger has the brilliant stand-start manners and raw speed to give Southland their best chance of Cup glory in three decades so is worth a saver bet.
"He is one horse I wouldn't want on my back turning for home," says May.
Gold Ace is an x-factor horse with the right trainer-driver combo and the chance to be put to sleep early before swooping so looks the best each-way value.
And Mah Sish is a genuine 3200m horse, with manners, horsemanship and form on his side, making him the best place bet, with a shot at stealing it should things get tactical.
Sushi Sushi is in form and can win if he starts, but his injury cloud won't sit comfortably with many punters.
Caribbean Blaster and Fly Like An Eagle are good enough but still in their first open-class campaigns while the rest could place but it is hard to see them winning a New Zealand Cup.
Selections: Terror To Love, Gold Ace, Mah Sish, Franco Ledger.
Cup day punting
Best bet: I Can Doosit (R6, No 9): Champion who should win again so run through all your multis.
Best each-way: Phil's Gift (R3, No 7): Has manners and meets the open class second stringers. Bookies had him too long.
Fingers crossed: Murcielargo (R1, No 16): Massive ability and scratchings help. If he behaves can down Stent.
Luck needed: Highview Teejay (R8, No 10): Third in far stronger field last start. Might be three back markers but can win if the gaps come.
Bolter: Johnny Fox (R12, No 8): From a better draw could have started favourite but has high speed and $8 fixed is great value. NZ Trotting Cup Day Special

When I hike or hit the trail on a nice backpacking trip I always use trekking poles. They are great little tools that help climb hills, steady myself through rocky terrain, ease the load when descending and generally, they keep me balanced.
Some people use one trekking pole or staff, personally, I think that two poles are better as they provide better balance in the long run.
We can look at the Scout Oath and Law like the trekking poles of our life.
The Oath and Law provide balance, stability, and ease the load of our lives. The Law is there to ease the load when we are descending in our decision making, it is there when we face the tough climbs of our life and it is there to steady us when we cross rocky terrain.
The same is true with the Scout Oath… my other pole. It provides balance and steadies me in my life. As I climb it is there to remind me to be physically Strong. When I am descending it reminds me to be Morally straight. And when I am traversing some rough terrain it is there to remind me to be Mentally Awake.
As I hike through life with my trekking poles, the Oath and Law tell me to always do My Best.
The Scout Oath and Law are great tools to help me make it through the hike of life.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

At what point should we consider Mexico a failed state and what can be done about it?
Mexico has little to no functioning law enforcement and most of the politicians are corrupt. The cartels control the borders and are pushing their influence further north everyday.
Police chiefs are assassinated every month and others are resigning and seeking asylum. They are resorting to offering the chiefs positions to 20 year old girls in hopes they won't be assassinated.
AZ recently had a cartel related beheading to go along with all the other killings and kidnappings.
Are they the Somalia on our southern border?

With the market-leading Mule ESB and the new Tcat, MuleSoft brings simple yet powerful infrastructure to today's dynamic Web applications.
MuleSoft now provides free Apache Tomcat resources!
MuleSoft has worked in collaboration with the Tomcat community on a number of free Apache Tomcat community resources and guides. The aim of these resources is to provide Apache users with general purpose guides to help troubleshoot various problems.
We followed a model pioneered by other open-source companies like Redhat: provide guides for known hassles, like tomcat logging (log rotation is now simplified), tomcat configuration (modifying environment variables is now easy), and tomcat performance. We have made the guides publicly available, free of charge, and we try to minimize all barriers to contribution. We don't require people to register or provide their email addresses to download. We keep the guides search friendly, and focus on tomcat windows problems in the same way that we focus on tomcat linux problems-- in other words, we're neutral, we just provide the guides no matter the operating system, no matter the issue.
The W3C provides a resource on how to install a CSS validator, and MuleSoft provides resources to download tomcat, resolve tomcat start problems using the tomcat manager. We also empower users to diagnose a range of problems typically encountered while using tomcat admin tools.
Other issues we cover include tomcat's servlet container, catalina, in our tomcat catalina guide. We also put up a fairly simple tomcat context guide where we explain that a context refers to a web application and that it typically corresponds to a set of XML elements and attributes that define the context in a server.xml file or a separate file. Similarly, our tomcat jsp guide, and also our tomcat connector guide, serve as general purpose community resources.
We're building a tomcat service page to help resolve problems related to running tomcat as a service. If you want to know how to tell if a client closed his or her end of an HTTP connection, check out our tomcat servlet page. If you need help deploying applications using apache tomcat, then please visit our tomcat deploy page. MySQL is often used with Tomcat, and if you need encounter difficulties using the two together your resolution is likely in our tomcat mysql page; likewise with tomcat eclipse. We hope to continue building these resource pages, and others (like tomcat memory) over time.

Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Brookfield's proposed Target Store PUBLIC HEARING: Dec. 7, 7:45pm, UPDATE & maps
Would you want to help non-resident drivers cut through your neighborhood, just so they could get to a new proposed shopping center without using your closest busy main streets? Of course not.
Yet the Plan Commission and our City is doing just that with the new Target store proposal for the former Quebecor site on Bluemound, at the Brookfield/Wauwatosa border. Take a look.
The planners are promoting an additional, unnecessary, new street access point, running east/west from Columbia Blvd, (a purely residential street) to (and through) the new shopping center, when there is already adequate access from Bluemound Road!
And why are they pushing this? One reason is for people who might be playing baseball at Krueger Park, who MIGHT want to go to the new Target store after a game. They argue they need an easy way to get there from the park. (Rendering is from Ryan Co., the developer.)
So our planners, and some of the Aldermen on the Common Council, are willing to subject a quiet, single family, residential neighborhood to cut through traffic from the south, for all those who want to avoid the Bluemound and Elm Grove Road intersection. This would include Target Store bound traffic from Greenfield Ave to the south.
Who doesn't want this? Obviously, the neighborhood! But also the developer, Ryan Company.
It is my understanding that Ryan wants something that more closely resembles my cut-and-past efforts pictured here. Yellow indicates existing streets, orange would be new access with arterial lights on Bluemound. (Thanks to MapQuest satellite view and Ryan's rendering.)
Note that Columbia Blvd. does connect to Krueger Park. It would be very simple for those baseball players (who might want to shop after a game) to drive north on Columbia, turn right on Bluemound, travel 300 feet east to the new Target entrance, turn right, drive in and park.
As for the neighborhood itself, there are Greenway Trail connections for walking and biking there and from my neighborhood south of I-94. This system would also connect to the Trails in Wauwatosa. So there is pedestrian and bike access without using Bluemound Road.
This Public Hearing is primarily to change the LAND USE from Mixed to Retail. Remember the original plan was for high density housing? Translate: apartments. Believe me, Brookfield and the neighborhood is far better off with this being purely retail / business such as the Target, a restaurant and a bank. Brookfield doesn't need more apartments or condos that do not contribute enough in tax revenue to support the schools or services they use.
I might remind our new Mayor Ponto that he told me he had a strong desire to protect the single family home's property values. I would like to see Mayor Ponto take a leadership role in this and protect this neighborhood from this unwanted and unnecessary intrusion.
Please help your fellow Brookfield residents preserve their neighborhood from unwanted non-neighborhood related traffic by commenting tonight at the Common Council Public Hearing or emailing your comments to email@example.com (She will forward them.) The Council will vote on this December 21st.
My Aldermen Lisa Mellone and Renee' Lowerr sent the following information in an email:
"Proposed Target Store update:
"This Tuesday, December 7th at 7:45 p.m. in the Council Chambers at city hall, there will be a Public Hearing* (resident opportunity to provide public input) for a proposed land use amendment to city master and neighborhood Plans (details attached). This is the first step in the process to allow for the construction of a Target store on the site of the vacant Quebecor printing plant by Bluemound Rd. and 124th St.
"Taken from the Common Council Agenda:
7:45 p.m. - Public Hearing: Request of Ryan Companies US, Inc., 50 S.
Tenth Street, Suite 300, Minneapolis, MN 55403-2012, to amend the
City of Brookfield 2035 Comprehensive Plan and the 124th Street and
Bluemound Road Neighborhood Plan. These plan amendments would be
required to accommodate a proposed multi-tenant commercial
redevelopment at the former Quebecor property located at 12821 W.
Bluemound Road.
"The Council will be asked to vote on the land use plan amendment on December 21st. This is not a vote on zoning, but a vote on land use. The rezoning process would begin early in 2011 and would include a second public hearing followed by a subsequent Plan Commission/ Council vote.
"*Now is the time to voice your opinions on this project to the Council. We know there are mixed views around the immediate neighborhood (Columbia Gardens) on this proposal vs. the vacant Quebecor that now exists. However, there seems to be strong support in that neighborhood for NO CONNECTION TO COLUMBIA BLVD. when this site is developed. It is important to these residents to keep cut thru traffic intrusion off of their narrow and hilly streets. We support that view point whole heartedly and with vigor. Also, the developer does not favor a connection as there will already be 2 signalized connections straight to Bluemound Rd. to serve the development. Some Plan Commissioners and Council members feel differently and favor that connection. Please consider making a statement at the Public Hearing or writing an email at a minimum. You can [email firstname.lastname@example.com ]and I will forward to appropriate officials.

Local weather and personal anecdotes are interesting. Worldwide scientific data has this November being the warmest on record and the 354th consecutive month of above average global temperatures.
Here is one on the current impacts of sea level rise. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...oasts/3893825/

Joseph D'Aleo...comments:
[The National Climatic Data Center's] adjustments made the dust bowl period cooler, while post 1995 had no adjustments applied. This results in a temperature trend that is steeper because the past is cooler than the present. The only problem is that it isn't what the data actually recorded then.
I think maybe we need to coin a new term for NOAA NCDC – 'dust bowl deniers'. Yes it appears there is man-made warming underway but the men are in Asheville, North Carolina at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.
Joseph D'Aleo …"[The IPCC's] models treat the oceans as distilled water when in reality they are an infinite buffer for atmospheric CO2. Burning all the earth's fossil fuels would amount to no more than a 20 percent increase. It could never double(2). In any event, ice cores tell us carbon dioxide lags, not leads, the temperatures by as much as 800 years."
I am just pointing out that all of this is just not yet fact only hypothesis!

MSM Glosses Over Irony of Global Warming Scientists Trapped in Antarctic Ice
By P.J. Gladnick | December 28, 2013 | 18:46
Somewhere far, far to the south where it is summer, a group of global warming scientists are trapped in the Antarctic ice. If you missed the irony of that situation, it is because much of the mainstream media has glossed over that rather inconvenient bit of hilarity. As an example here is an Associated Press story that avoids mentioning the real mission of the scientists aboard the icebound Russian ship:
The Snow Dragon icebreaker came within 7 miles (11 kilometers) of the Russian ship MV Akademik Shokalskiy, which has been stuck since Christmas Eve, but had to retreat after the ice became too thick, said expedition spokesman Alvin Stone.
The Akademik Shokalskiy, which has been on a research expedition to Antarctica, got stuck Tuesday after a blizzard's whipping winds pushed the sea ice around the ship, freezing it in place. The ship wasn't in danger of sinking, and there are weeks' worth of supplies for the 74 scientists, tourists and crew on board, but the vessel cannot move.
So what was the exact mission of these scientists? AP is rather vague about this reporting only:
The scientific team on board the research ship which left New Zealand on Nov. 28 had been recreating Australian explorer Douglas Mawson's century-old voyage to Antarctica when it became trapped. They plan to continue their expedition after they are freed, expedition leader Chris Turney said.
Um, there is a bit more to the expedition than merely following in the footsteps of a century-old voyage. But what that mission really is, AP won't say. If AP is vague about the mission's purpose, Reuters provides even less information.
Since the MSM isn't forthcoming as to the real purpose of those scientists traveling to Antarctica, we turn to Whats Up With That for more insight:
The expedition is being led by Chris Turney, climate scientist, who has set up a carbon refining company called Carbonscape which has developed technology to fix carbon from the atmosphere and make a host of green bi-products, helping reduce greenhouse gas levels. The purpose of the expedition is to discover and communicate the environmental changes taking place in the south.
It seems they found out what the environmental changes taking place in the south. are.
Finally, National Geographic bluntly states the mission purpose:
...The current crop of explorers are hoping to document some of the same data and compare them to Mawson's numbers, "using the twist of modern technology," Turney told National Geographic earlier this month.
As may be expected, global warming might play a role in this, he suggests, particularly with respect to melted ice in the East Antarctic.
Ah, so now we see why the MSM reluctance to flat out state why the scientists are in the Antarctic. Anything to avoid an inconvenient (but accurate) headline like this:

I want to build a page with questions e.g.
which will have links
and I want when the user clicks on that question, they will be directed to the bit underneath the questions which will display the answers. If I'm not mistaken, I think you have to use '#' but I have forgotten the name of it.
Does anybody know what I'm talking about and any tutorials I can google to see how to do this?
Many thanks! Btw, is this HTML5?
Dead easy.
Let's say you have an answer further down the page that looks like this:

Question 2: How do I jump down the page?

You need to use fragment identifiers. Add an ID to the point where you jump to, and then link to this with a #

Let's say you have an answer further down the page that looks like this:

Question 2: How do I jump down the page?

You need to use fragment identifiers. Add an ID to the point where you jump to, and then link to this with a #

You need to add an ID to that answer (I have added it to the
, but if you have a wrapper
 that goes round the whole answer you can put it there, or if you don't have a heading just put it on the paragraph itself), like this:
<h3 [B]id="q2"[/B]>Question 2: How do I jump down the page?

You need to use fragment identifiers. Add an ID to the point where you jump to, and then link to this with a #

(Note that your ID must start with a letter, but can include numbers as well)
Then in your questions, you include a link like this:

[B]<a href="#q2">[/B]How do I jump down the page?

You can make it look slicker with scripts such as SmoothScroll, but that doesn't change the basics. This isn't HTML5, it's been around since pretty much the dawn of time.
Thank you very much Stevie! Appreciate your tutorial!
No, it can start with a letter. ID in HTML can be anything except the empty string and it can't contain whitespace.
I quote from the W3 specs for HTML4:ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
yeah they've widened this in HTML5. And it's a cowpath-paving sort of thing... browsers accept weird tokens http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/html5-id-class
Quoting HTML4 is like quoting CSS1 for what rules apply for CSS. Maybe useful a decade ago, not so much today.
Someone (you) even said /TR/ was outdated, but lots of it isn't.
I wonder if all the URLs should just be changed, because honestly I feel I should be able to type "w3 HTML# [elementname]" into any search engine and get the most up-to-date pages first.
It's also confusing to many developers that even if they are writing "HTML4" the browser will use whatever HTML parser it has, which nowadays would be one that accepts most of the new 5 stuff. More confusing that lots of the illegal 4 stuff was always fine in browsers and merely got "legalised" in 5. Like the id's.
Building web stuff might not be easy but I think getting to the right docs for the project should be Barney-purple-dinosaur simple. I too have gone looking stuff up without realising I was on old pages (yeah, the styles are a bit different, but I'm not artsy enough to notice styles on most pages I visit, unless I'm there to look at the styles).
Well, if you search for "whatwg html [elementname]" instead you have a higher change to get up-to-date pages first, since WHATWG don't publish frozen snapshots that get out of date.
yeah but lawlz, that's WHATWG... sometimes the snowflake moment you want, other times someone's frizzy thought that lasts a few moments
I don't mind "most recent frozen snapshot", really... we should get duckduckgo to do most-recent-frozen stuff for w3c requests...
I mean, if I want to run Debian Testing I get all the latest things, but for a work machine I might be happier with latest stable.

Water Cycle Poster produced in collaboration with the USGS
Use the Water Cycle poster in your classroom, or as a quiz at your event
This booklet is intended as a guide for teachers and youth leaders. Take it and explore, play and discover – and while you're having fun, maybe you can even come up with some clever ways to help preserve water in your homes.
For all ages, in English and Spanish
These are two small books with big ideas. We quickly see that children — rural or urban, rich or poor— intuitively know the importance of water in all its complexity. The books are the result of activities organized in elementary schools in Mexico by the Water Network of the Mexican Academy of Sciences. The children responded by either writing a letter or sending a drawing or painting, conveying their messages of hope, suggestions, and frustrations to the ministers and experts participating in the 4th World Water Forum.
The compilations of letters were published in English and Spanish by the Mexican Academy of Sciences and UNESCO, with the support of Coca Cola.
The Multiple-Perspective Tool is a valuable framework for teaching any sustainable development issue. The focus of this particular companion document is on applying multiple perspectives for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) to freshwater issues. This resource was published by UNESCO within the framework of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014).
A Trip with the Drip The Water Drop' is a colourful learning-by-doing workbook on water for children. Published in 2005 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Centre for Environment Education (CEE) India, it contain basic facts, interesting information, and several learning-by-doing activities on various aspects of water.
Trishna and the Dream of Water is a children's environmental storybook dealing with water in dryland areas. Published in 2006, it is part of UNEP's Tunza Environmental Series for Children. 'Tunza' means "to treat with care of affection" in Kiswahili.
This workshop, held during the UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development, in Bonn, Germany, provided a sterling occasion for reflection on current best practices and obstacles. The main outcomes of the workshop include suggestions for the way forward. Four kinds of education (higher, vocational and training, school, community) were the themes for the working groups, whose participants exchanged experiences, ideas, recommendations and a call for urgent action to specific stakeholders.
Published by the UN-Water Decade Programme on Capacity Development (UNWDPC), the International Hydrological Programme (UNESCO-IHP) and the Federal Environment Ministry (BMU) of Germany.
This curriculum and activity guide was adapted from the English Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide, it is available in English and Portuguese. This guide includes 32 educational activities, selected and adapted by an international group of specialists from the Project WET Foundation and the UNESCO-IHP, Latin America and Caribbean office. The primary objective of this publication is to facilitate the work of educators and to promote the appreciation of, knowledge about, and respect for water.
This publication in Spanish explores our blue planet, the water cycle and our water consumption. It provides worksheets with quizzes and activities for children for each chapter.
Based on the findings of the World Water Development Report 3 (2009), Messages to Youth communicates the key ideas about the threats facing the world's supply of fresh water and includes lots of links to interesting web sites for anyone who wants to get involved in safeguarding our water resources.
The UNICEF Voices of Youth web site has lots of interesting stuff for children and students who want to explore and become active in the field of water environment and health. It provides information on preventing water-related diseases and gives ideas and practical advice to young people on how to initiate their own community projects. It also features real life stories, interactive games (Water Alert), brain teasers and more. The photo on the left is from one of the site's photo journals.
This 32-page booklet, prepared by The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Peace Child International, includes drawings, poems and stories on water and development, entirely made by and for young people.
Water Rights and Wrongs is available on line in English, French and Spanish. It is also available as a pdf document in Arabic, Basque, English, French and Spanish.
These educational resources are only available in Chinese.

Lee Factory Crimp Rifle Die, 7x57mm Mauser
Prices, promotions, styles and availability may vary by store and online.
Crimps bullet firmly in place
Impossible to buckle the case
Trim length is not critical
Factory ammunition is often more accurate and better able to withstand rough handling because the bullet is firmly crimped in place. A firm crimp improves accuracy because pressure must build to a higher level before the bullet begins to move. This higher start pressure insures a more uniform pressure curve and less velocity variation. Even powder selection is less critical. Until now, hand loaders seated the bullet to touch the rifling to achieve similar results. This is not always possible nor desirable. The Lee Factory Crimp Die is included at no extra charge with Lee PaceSetter Dies. It's just another added value that only Lee Dies offer.

Ford Says It Can React Quickly If There is U.S. Demand for Diesel Cars

The Focus Estate, another Ford delicacy that we don't get in the United States
Ford offers diesel-powered cars in Europe already making a transition for the US very easy if needed
Several automakers have been announcing new vehicles powered by diesel engines for the U.S. market. Chevrolet recently announced the
Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel
will be bringing a diesel-powered version of its Mazda6 to the U.S. And we can't forget that Volkswagen has been selling
diesel vehicles
in the U.S. for years with great success. Despite these major automakers announcing diesel-powered cars, Ford is still playing it safe.
Ford has long offered diesel engines in its heavy-duty F-Series pickups and will offer a diesel engine in its upcoming Transit commercial van (which will replace the E-Series), but is playing it safe when it comes to passenger cars.
"If we see diesels start to take off here in the U.S., we can react very quickly," said Ford's Mark Fields. While diesel-powered vehicles make up only 3% of retail passenger vehicle sales in the U.S., that figure was actually up by 25% in last year compared to 2011 according to
Ford already offers diesel-powered cars in Europe (where half of all vehicles sold come with a diesel engine) and other world markets as part of its global strategy. If Ford sees the demand in the United States increase significantly for diesel-powered cars, it would be easy to start placing those engines into vehicles destined for the United States. However, Americans would be facing a $3,000 to $4,000 premium compared to an equivalent gasoline-powered vehicle.
Ford has been slow to introduce diesel engines in its U.S. vehicles because it has put quite a bit of energy into promoting its EcoBoost engines instead. The turbocharged engines can be found in varying displacements in everything from the tiny Fiesta to the hulking F-150. However, the fuel efficiency ratings of those comparatively small, turbocharged engines
have recently come under fire
Consumer Reports
maintains that Ford's turbocharged engines offer little to no improvement over conventional engines in fuel efficiency or performance.

Book Salesman's Samples
The Society holds a strong collection of salesman's samples or dummy books, which have also been called "blads." These specimen books were used by the itinerant agents of subscription publishers to entice customers to agree to purchase a copy of a work in advance of delivery. This form of marketing was common in America during the years just before and after the Civil War. It was unlike the phenomenon of the same name in the eighteenth century, when subscription publishing was used to finance or at least to assure the success of an edition prior to printing.
A typical specimen book of the nineteenth century consists of sample sheets in a sample binding. Sometimes these sheets are in a prepublication state and thus may have bibliographic interest. A customer could choose among alternative styles of binding, and a sample book usually includes the spines of available styles mounted inside the covers. The sample book might also include a printed prospectus describing the virtues of the work or edition with recommendations from well-known persons. Most specimen books also include blank forms on which the salesman entered the names, addresses, sometimes occupations, and the number of copies his subscribers agreed to purchase. Subscription forms can provide demographic information on book ownership, if not on actual readership.
The Society holds approximately 400 salesman's sample books issued before 1900; about one-third of these were issued before 1877. The earliest in the collection was issued in 1811. Most of the early ones date from the 1860s and 1870s. The collection includes dummies of four first editions of works by Mark Twain. All salesman's samples may be found listed in the General Catalog under author or title; a partial checklist is also available at the readers' services desk. Approximately one third of them are cataloged online.
Closely related to the salesman's dummies are prospectuses, pre-publication descriptions of books, newspapers and magazines, which list the title of the item, the publishers, and the terms of publication. Sometimes they are also subscription papers, but more often they are only announcements of forthcoming publications. Many are single sheet items and are thus found in the Broadsides collection.
Complementing this collection are collateral materials on the subscription business, including several agents' manuals that give explicit instructions on sales methods and biographies and autobiographies of book agents. These materials can be found in the General Catalog under "booksellers and book-selling."
A typescript by Marcus A. McCorison, Publishers' Sample and Canvassing Books Issued Prior to the Year 1877 (Worcester, Mass., 1997) annotates AAS holdings in Keith Arbour's Canvassing Books, Sample Books, and Subscription Publishers' Ephemera 1833-1951 in the Collection of Michael Zinman (Ardsley, N.Y., 1996).

Reviews for this host's other properties
Apartment neat, clean, ideally located in the district of Centra Cruz. Only downside, the announced area not correspond to reality (halving) while the terrace tiend its promises beautiful views of the Giralda. In conclusion, we recommend this accommodation and destination
Appartement coquet, propre, idéalement placé dans le quartier de Centra Cruz. Seul bémol, la superficie annoncée ne correspond pas à la réalité (à diviser par deux) alors que la terrasse tiend ses promesses: très belle vue sur la Giralda. En conclusion, nous recommendons ce logement et cette destination
Great apartment in a great location. Can recommend for 2 couples
Prima accommodation. Clean and well maintained. Very conveniently located in the center of Seville.
Prima accomodatie. Schoon en goed onderhouden. Zeer gunstig gelegen in het centrum van Sevilla.
Maria is very nice, very comfortable apartment. Ideal location if you are without a vehicle.
A big thank you to Maria for her kindness.
Maria est très sympa, appartement très pratique et confortable. Emplacement idéal si vous êtes sans véhicule.
Un grand merci à Maria pour sa gentillesse.
We had a wonderful one week stay at Maria's cozy apartment, with a small kitchen that is equiped simply but adequately.It is very conveniently located at some 100 meters from the cathedral in a very lively street lined with tapas bars. One can have a good meal 2 meters from the front door. Because the inner city hardly has any traffic and the apartment is on the 3rd floor, noise isn't a problem. In April/May the temperatures were already above 30 degrees but the apartment stayed relatively cool even without the available airco. We had breakfast at the roof terrace in the cool mornings and at night watched the swallows lit by the cathedral's floodlights circling the Giralda, a fantastic view! Maria was very responsive to emails and available for handing over the keys even if we arrived late in the evening. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the shower head needs fixing,a minor thing that can be solved easily...
superbly located
Wonderful little apartment for two. Small problem when you want to sleep together no problem to bring the beds ... but the mattress revealing a painful split bar.
Splendid terrace with 180 ° views of the city and another little more protected from the sun terrace in summer.
For us a paradise
superbement situé
Tout petit appartement merveilleux à deux. Petit bémol quand on souhaite dormir ensemble pas de problème pour rapprocher les lits mais... les matelas se séparent révélant une barre douloureuse.
Splendide terrasse avec vue à 180° sur la ville et autre petite terrasse plus protégée du soleil pour l'été.
Pour nous un paradis
Very gracious apartment well located to everything. Everything as described. Would stay again.
After arriving at the airport of Seville with two taxis towards our apartment. Along phoned Mary, we could pick up, so the taxi drivers could drive, thanks to Mary. Unerringly to our destination mid ride anywhere in the city Through many narrow and very narrow streets we arrived at Calle Conteras No. 2, No. 5 apartment located on the 2nd floor. A truly beautiful location in the heart of Seville, from which you can easily explore on foot. Throughout the city From the terrace a beautiful view of the Cathedral and the Giralda Tower. A power failure halfway through our week in the apartment was immediately fixed the next day Mary. However, occasionally suffer from some street noise which is rather nice echoes through the narrow streets. And the bells of the Giralda are also good to hear, but you get used quickly and belongs to the city. Seville is really a great city to visit and is actually a large monument. One suggestion is to spend a day with the high-speed train from Seville to go to Cordoba. Within 45 minutes on the ground with a speed of about 300 km p / h. The only thing we have not visited on foot is Italica, which further is out of town but easily accessible by bus again. Eating out is a celebration with a great variety of all kinds (tapas) restaurants, though many are located right around the corner from the apartment. The famous Robles restaurant is 30 meters away in a corner. Want a once a Flamenco evening, head to La Carboneria, Calle Levies No. 18. Is to search, but with a city map to find. One of the most famous venues in Seville with a nightly triple flamenco performance (singing, dancing and guitar). When we were there on Friday evening at 21:30, 22:30 and 23:30. Free entry and cheap drinks. Spent all in all a wonderful week in Seville in a great apartment with plenty of sunshine and mid-November! Fred, Ekkie, Jan and Nanda.
Na aankomst op de luchthaven van Sevilla met 2 taxi's richting ons appartement. Onderweg gebeld met Maria, die we halverwege de rit ergens in de stad konden oppikken, zodat de taxichauffeurs feilloos naar onze bestemming konden rijden, dankzij Maria. Via vele nauwe en erg smalle straatjes kwamen we aan bij Calle Conteras nr. 2, appartement nr. 5 op de 2e etage gelegen. Een werkelijk prachtige locatie in hartje Sevilla, van waaruit je de gehele stad gemakkelijk te voet kunt gaan verkennen. Vanaf het terras een mooi uitzicht op de Cathedraal en de Giralda toren. Een stroomstoring halverwege onze week in het appartement werd direct de volgende dag door Maria opgelost. Wel af en toe last van wat straatgeluid wat nogal lekker doorklinkt in die smalle straat. En de bellen van De Giralda zijn ook goed te horen, maar daar wen je snel aan en hoort bij de stad. Sevilla is echt een geweldige stad om te bezoeken en is eigenlijk een groot monument. Een aanrader is om ook een dagje met de hoge snelheidstrein vanuit Sevilla naar Cordoba te gaan. Binnen 45 minuten ter plaatse met snelheden van zo'n 300 km p/u. Het enigste wat we niet te voet bezocht hebben is Italica, wat verder buiten de stad ligt, maar weer goed te bereiken is met de bus. Uit eten is een feest met een geweldig groot aanbod van allerlei soorten (tapas) restaurants, waarvan al velen direct om de hoek gevestigd zijn van het appartement. Het bekende Robles restaurant zit op 30 meter afstand op een hoek. Wil je een keer een Flamenco avondje, ga dan naar La Carboneria, Calle Levies nr. 18. Is wel even zoeken, maar met een stadskaart goed te vinden. Een van de meest gekende podia van Sevilla met iedere avond een drievoudig flamenco-optreden (zang, dans en gitaar). Toen wij er waren op vrijdagavond om 21.30; 22.30 en 23.30 uur. Vrije toegang en goedkope drankjes. Al met al een prachtige week doorgebracht in Sevilla in een prima appartement en met veel zon en dat halverwege november!! Fred, Ekkie, Jan en Nanda.
Very nice and spacious apartment. Cozy street in the center. Host responds to questions and in time for the keys even if you come in the middle of the night. We were with our beers and also got two sets of keys which is very convenient. I recommend it to anyone for a few days to explore the city.
Heel fijn en ruim appartement .gezellige straat in hartje centrum. Host reageert op vragen en is op tijd voor de sleutel overdracht ook al kom je middenin de nacht aan. We waren met ons bieren en kregen ook twee setjes sleutels wat erg handig is. Ik kan het iedereen aanraden die voor een aantal dagen de stad wil verkennen.
Elegant house and beautiful appartment with tiles half way on the walls as well as very high sealings and decorated in true old town Sevilla style.
In the appartment you have a large living room and a separate large bedroom (3 sitting areas in total!!), separated by the bathroom which also means you have to pass a narrow corridor with the sink to get from one room to the other. You use the same sink for personal hygene as for make up the dishes and the drain was not woorking well, unfortunately.There is a moldy smell in the appartment, which we did not neutralise by outdoor air due to the exhaust gases from the traffic. If you like firm beds you will not be dissapointed here.
WiFi was slow and not working well inside the appartment it was better in the floor.
The hostess Maria was very friendly and responsive.
The appartment is located very strategically in the old town close to all major sights, restaurants and shopping. This also means it is close to all traffic, at night time it looks like traffic on the small road along the appartment was limitted, but in day time, if you would like a siesta, traffic and noice was problematic.
Most roads in the old town are so narrow that they are one-way only. This made it also very diffucult to park directly outside for unpacking. We stayed in a parking house in the end of the Alfonso XII street for 4 nights at a cost of EUR 88,- in "comercial Americano" (close to the river) approx 300 m from the appartment. In Comercial Americano ther is also a big supermarket in the bottom floor and coffee shop above with fast free WiFi for guest.
Recommendations for sight seeing:
Real Alcatraz, Plaza Espania, bull fighting museum (at the actual bull fighting arena (don´t like the actual bull fighting, but interesting as it is a major part of the Spannish way of life).
- Quality assured accommodation

Remember that Black Buick you could play as in Rogue Squadron
and later on in Battle For Naboo if you knew the right passcodes
to enter. Well it has decided to grace us with its glory once again in Rogue Squadron II. It can be found on the Ison Corredor level behind the Frigate when you enter gas cloud section of the level. Below is a link to a pic of the intergalatic classic. It is still unknown if it is playable as in the other games.
Makes you wonder why Lucas Arts loves the thing. I heard its because one of the programmers owns the car in real life and just loves to show it off.

Actual Value of Offset Transactions: The U.S. dollar value of the offset transaction without taking into account multipliers or intangible factors.
Co-production: Transactions that are based upon government-to-government agreements authorizing the transfer of technology to permit foreign companies to manufacture all or part of a U.S.-origin defense article. Such transactions are based upon an agreement specifically referenced in Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) and a government-to-government Memorandums of Understanding (MOU). Co-production is always classified as a direct offset.
Credit Assistance: Credit assistance includes direct loans, brokered loans, loan guarantees, assistance in achieving favorable payment terms, credit extensions, and lower interest rates. Credit assistance specifically excludes the use of "banked" offset credits (credits that exceed the requirement of the offset agreement and are permitted, by the terms of the agreement, to be applied to future offset obligations). Credit assistance is nearly always classified as an indirect offset transaction but can also be direct.
Credit Value of Offset Transactions: The U.S. dollar value credited for the offset transaction by application of a multiplier, any intangible factors, or other methods. The credit value may be greater than, equal to, or less than the actual value of the offset.
Direct Offsets: An offset transaction directly related to the article(s) or service(s) exported or to be exported pursuant to the military export sales agreement. Direct offsets are usually in the form of co-production, subcontracting, training, production, licensed production, or possibly technology or financing activities.
Indirect Offsets: An offset transaction unrelated to the article(s) or service(s) exported or to be exported pursuant to the military export sales agreement. The kinds of offsets that may be considered "indirect" include purchases, investment, training, credit assistance, and technology transfer.
Investment: Investment arising from an offset agreement, often taking the form of capital dedicated to the establishment of a foreign entity unrelated to the defense sale or to expanding the U.S. firm's subsidiary or joint venture in the foreign country. Investment can be either direct or indirect.
Licensed Production: Overseas production of a U.S.-origin defense article based upon transfer of technical information under direct commercial arrangements between a U.S. manufacturer and a foreign government or producer. Licensed production is not pursuant to a co-production agreement specifically referenced in a LOA and co-production MOU. In addition, licensed production almost always involves the manufacturing of a part or component for a defense system, rather than a complete defense system. Licensed production transactions can be either direct or indirect.
Multiplier: A factor applied to the actual value of certain offset transactions to calculate the credit value earned. Foreign purchasers use multipliers to provide firms with incentives to offer offsets that benefit targeted areas of economic growth. When a "positive" multiplier is applied to the price of a service or product offered as an offset, the defense firm receives a higher credit value toward fulfillment of an offset obligation than would be the case without application of a multiplier. Conversely, foreign purchasers may apply "negative" multipliers to discourage certain types of transactions not thought to be in the best economic interest of the receiving entity.
Example: A foreign government interested in a specific technology may offer a multiplier of "six" for offset transactions providing access to that technology. A U.S. defense company with a 120 percent offset obligation from a $1 million sale of defense systems ordinarily would be required to provide technology transfer through an offset equaling $1.2 million. With a multiplier of six, however, the U.S. company could offer only $200,000 (actual value) in technology transfer and earn $1.2 million in credit value, fulfilling its entire offset obligation under the agreement.
Offset Agreement: An offset agreed to by the U.S. firm in order to conclude a military export sales contract. The agreement is normally reflected in a contact that specifies the percentage of the total defense-related export sale to be offset, the forms of industrial compensation required, the duration of the offset agreement, and penalty clauses, if any.
Offset Transaction: Any activity for which the U.S. firm claims credit for full or partial fulfillment of an offset agreement. Activities to implement offset agreements are categorized as co-production, technology transfer, subcontracting, credit assistance, training, licensed production, investment, purchases, and other.
Offsets: Compensation practices required as a condition of purchase in either government-to-government or commercial sales of defense articles and/or defense services as defined by the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. § 2751, et seq.) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 C.F.R. §§ 120-130).
Other:An offset transaction other than co-production, credit assistance, licensed production, investment, purchases, subcontracting, technology transfer, or training.
Purchases:Purchases involve the procurement of off-the-shelf items from the offset recipient. Purchases are indirect transactions.
Subcontracting:In the offset context, subcontracting is the overseas production of a part or component of a U.S.-origin defense article. The subcontract does not necessarily involve license of technical information. Instead, it is usually a direct commercial arrangement between the defense prime contractor and a foreign producer.
Technology Transfer:Transfer of technology that occurs as a result of an offset agreement and that may take the form of research and development conducted abroad, technical assistance provided to the subsidiary or joint venture of overseas investment, or other activities under direct commercial arrangement between the defense prime contractor and a foreign entity.
Training:Generally includes training related to the production or maintenance of the exported defense item. Training, which can be either direct or indirect, may be required in unrelated areas, such as computer training, foreign language skills, or engineering capabilities.

Attacks on the Press 2010: Internet Analysis
Exposing the Internet's shadowy assailants
by Danny O'Brien
For the past decade, those who used the Internet to report the news might have assumed that the technological edge was in their favor. But online journalists now face more than just the standard risks to those working in dangerous conditions. They find themselves victims of new attacks unique to the new medium. From online surveillance of writers through customized malicious software to "just in time" censorship that can wipe controversial news sites off the Internet at the most inconvenient moment, the online tools to attack the press are getting smarter and spreading further.

Over the past 19 years Hubble has taken dozens of exotic pictures of galaxies going "bump in the night" as they collide with each other and have a variety of close encounters of the galactic kind. Just when you thought these interactions couldn't look any stranger, this image of a trio of galaxies, called Arp 194, looks like one of the galaxies has sprung a leak. The bright blue streamer is really a stretched spiral arm full of newborn blue stars. This typically happens when two galaxies interact and gravitationally tug at each other.
Resembling a pair of owl eyes, the two nuclei of the colliding galaxies can be seen in the process of merging at the upper left. The blue bridge looks like it connects to a third galaxy. In reality the galaxy is in the background and not connected at all. Hubble's sharp view allows astronomers to try and visually sort out what are foreground and background objects when galaxies, superficially, appear to overlap. This picture was issued to celebrate the 19th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope aboard the space shuttle Discovery in 1990. During the past 19 years Hubble has made more than 880,000 observations and snapped over 570,000 images of 29,000 celestial objects.

It seems that Apptivo cannot realistically address our suppliers issues. There is no way to easily integrate supply products into the system as margins are not automatically calculated etc. The product has loads of potential, but currently, it has serious issues with supply chain management.

WORKetc helps avoid many of the problems faced by businesses using business management software today. WORKetc is extremely affordable, and easy to learn. The intuitive interface of WORKetc helps users get things done in an efficient manner, and yet is heavily customizable to fit the dynamic needs of every business. Having everything in one place brings a level of efficiency seen by few other applications. Definitely recommended for those looking to get a head start and avoid software problems. WORKetc is particularly suited to smaller businesses with a longer, complex sales cycle or project management aspect to their processes. WORKetc is the ideal CRM solution for engineering companies for example.More about WORKetc

The software boasts superior functions that are marketed to increase productivity. Although, this may be true in the long run, the amount of time and lack of support on the front end makes adoption an issue. From the start, the system would not accept a conversion from free trial to paid account. When calling sales, there was a sales agent available even at night- WOW! Little did I know that this does not filter down to support! The webinars are overall good; but, the time allotted per webinar is not adequate to cover the material and allow time for questions. They are free though! Once you join and begin using the software, the first thing is to load the data. OK, where is the import tools- there they are! The system will upload the data and respond back that the contacts are already there and when your check, there are no contacts. This stops you cold as contacts are the basis for the system's first step in programming. Support! Ah, here lies the issue. The company failed to respond for over 24 hours to support emails and their own form. They do not provide a phone number for support. In fact, the support comes from an "unknown number." When calling the main number, you will simply be told that no one is "available to help you." Again, the only way to get a support tech is to make a fuzz. Who really has time for that in business? 2 starts for the product- would have been higher if I could actually have gotten to use it. 0 starts for support 5 stars for sales and marketing. Does this seem a little off balance to anyone? Not recommended!More about WORKetc

What do you like best?A decent tool for Time Tracking, Invoicing, Opportunity management. It essentially seems to be geared toward Professional Services organizations. Especially with features like Time Tracking, Invoicing, etc. I like the fact that these services are integrated and native to the application. What do you dislike?The opportunity management features, reporting, and searching definitely seem to be lacking as compared to Salesforce. The interface is clumsy and difficult to use. The app itself feels incredibly slow.More about Apptivo
