I was asked to support a client in California for a few weeks and deliver a class. So after one week in Jax, I flew to San Diego for work.

We made sure to play tourist and visit many nice …

The park is huge, and contains art museums, galleries, churches, walkways, and restaurants which all have really intricately designed architecture.

Historical Traveler Reviews San Diego Marriott Mission Valley
A great surprise!
I blindly booked this room through Priceline so I didn't know what I was going to get. I paid $125 (plus all the taxes) for a Saturday night stay which seemed to be a bargain when the internet list prices for that day were @ 160 per night. I was definitely impressed with the location: close to downtown but just far enough away from the deep city traffic. Also, there is the shopping mall very close so we just grabbed take out and went back to the room. We went to the pool/jacuzzi on Saturday night and was delighted by the pool side movie (Shark Tales) on a fairly large screen. The room was very cozy, bed was great, fabulous view and extremely courteous staff who were willing to do just about anything to make our stay the best. It was a bummer having to pay $12 to park when you are paying to stay there but that seems to be a trend with big hotels these days. We found ourselves wanting to go back there on Sunday night after we went to the Wild Animal Park!
Beautiful Hotel
Do not listen to the negative reviews of this hotel.
My boyfriend and I are from New York City-home to the pickiest people in the country, and we LOVED this hotel. I've stayed at tons of hotels in my time, and this was by far one of the nicest. I booked the room last minute, and paid $179. All my requests that I stated on the online reservation form were kindly met by the man at the front desk: a non-smoking room, king size bed, away from the elevator. I had also requested a high floor and I was given a room on 17- which is not only the highest floor, but also the concierge level. The bed was very comfortable, with many pillows and a down comforter (my favorite). The bathroom was immaculate, and the shower even had a "rain" shower head. To our surprise there was even a couch and coffee table in the room. The balcony overlooked the pool- yet another pleasant surprise. The pool area was spacious and and the pool itself was huge. There was also a hot tub big enough for about 10 people, and a fountain on the opposite side. The grounds around the pool area, as well as the rest of the hotel, were beautifully manicured. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating.
The only drawback was the service was a little slow and food pretty average (although we only ate breakfast there).
I would highly reccommend this hotel, and I intend to stay here again the next time I am in San Diego.
Great room, great service
I was unsure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Our room was on the 10th floor, facing west with a lovely view of the pool and the bluffs in the distance. The room was immaculate. We were never bothered by room service when we put the "privacy please" sign on the door. The staff was helpful and polite. The rooms were stylishly decorated in fun colors and the beds were comfy. We paid a group rate of 119 with 12 bucks per day for parking. I thought this was well worth the price and would have paid even a little more. There are many amazing restaurants in the area and the hotel is located with easy access to interstate 8. Just a few minutes away from the beach!
Would stay someplace else
This hotel is located right next to a car dealership - which in itself was not great - I booked a stay there for 3 nights, each night the alarms at this car dealership went off and the night was not very peaceful. The 3rd floor room I had also had electric problems - the refrigerator was plugged into the wall outlet that only worked with the light being turned on with the switch by the light. The alarm clock (clock itself worked), but the alarm and radio failed (that and the bottom was held together with tape). The hairdryer did not work either (staff replaced this). I marked on the slip I wanted NO newspaper - was charged for it anyways. Booked on hotel .com (what a joke) our three reservations showed up as two reservations - we asked for the government rate (booked as $129 - actual room s=rate was $105 there, but the one guy with us not on the reservation was only charged $99 for the same room - we thought it was unusal that there would be a different rate for all three of us - but were highly racked over the coals with hotel .com.) I did not enjoy this stay - only because between the P.A. speaker and the alarms at the car dealership going off every hour on the hour - I did not sleep very well on the top floor of the hotel. One redeeming note - the breakfast is great - clean area and variety. From a weekly travelor - I will be staying elsewhere when I head back to Mission valley.
Great Hotel for the Price
My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for a Conference January 2005. We had a good rate of $125 per night as a Corporate rate. For the money we paid we were beyond satisfied and found the Hotel to be a pleasant experience all around. The Grounds were lush and well kept. We were able to check in at 1pm (although we arrived on a Wednesday afternoon which is not a peak time). Our room was on the 10th floor and had a view of Mission Valley and the Pool. The room was clean and had been recently updated so carpeting, bedding, furniture were all in excellent condition and had a fun bright color scheme. The Bathroom sink was granite and was separate from the bath area which was also updated and spacious. The room was not HUGE but good for the two of us. There was a small walk out balcony. We were very impressed with the $13 per person buffet breakfast at Cafe Del Sol in the hotel. The fruit and made to order waffles and omeletts were so fresh and well prepared. We had room service several times for lunch (Turkey sandwiches and Burgers) and light dinner which was prompt and again very fresh well prepared food. I cannot say a bad thing about this hotel except that the renovations are not 100% complete yet but the only place I noticed it was the the fitness center which is still under construction but there are a few cardio and weight machines available. I LOVED San Diego and we plan on returning and would consider staying at this hotel if we planned on staying in Mission Valley. (Although for a purly leisure trip I would consider staying in a different area of San Diego) We utilized the public Trolley which is clean and cheap (day pass was $5.00) There is a Trolley stop right next to the Hotel.
Good Hotel
I stayed here for two weeks in September. It was a nice hotel, very comfy bed. The breakfast was outrageously priced! I decided to buy my own food for the mornings, so they did bring up a fridge at no extra charge. The pool was nice and heated in the evenings. The food that the hotel provided at the conference was disgusting and the water glasses always terribly dirty. Otherwise, the hotel was good and in a fairly good location. I would probably try to find a different hotel if I had to stay for more than a few days.
Updated Marriott Mission Valley
My family and I recently stayed at the Marriott Mission Valley in San Diego. I was pleasantly surprised. After reading the other reviews on the internet, I was a bit nervous about staying here but the entire hotel has been updated. The beds, carpet, walls, doors, bathrooms etc. They really did a wonderful job. The staff was very friendly and the pool is beautiful. I would recommend this hotel to a friend. Everything was new and clean. It is also in a great location.
Average at best
There are better choices for the money.
Room just average. Clean and comfortable enough. No mini-fridge as I've come to expect from a Marriott. No chairs on the tiny balcony.
Pool and courtyard areas situated where they are shaded until at least late morning or early afternoon (no warm, sunny areas to sit in the morning hours.)
Nice bar area, but extraordinarily rude bartender on duty when we visited (arrived near closing time. He left no room for doubt that he was ready to go home!) Otherwise, staff was courteous, though the doormen were overly aggressive. Declined assistance with bags, they grabbed them anyway (so of course I was obligated to tip.)
Not a great selection in the restaurant: nothing offered for an inexpensive, casual bite to eat. Only dined there once, at breakfast - food OK, but extremely slow service. Even heard a server tell another guest - "if you don't order the [overpriced, unless you're starving] buffet, you will be here a while." Very true.
Unlikely I will stay here again. Chose hotel due to proximity to Qualcomm stadium, but there are others within a few miles. Best rate I could find was $125. Not worth it.
Not what was promised
I stayed in this hotel over the New Year holiday. I did get a reduced room at a group rate, but had I known that I would not end up getting the things promised to me, I would not have stayed there. We only paid $99, but for what we got--NOT WORTH IT!!! Not to mention--maids knocking on the door over 5 times prior to 9 am--BY ACCIDENT?!?!?!?
You want how much?
Booked through Travelocity, $119. Parking $10/day, staff top notch, food good, room bottom shelf. Multiple stains on carpet,(oh well) non-smoking room with a smoked in bed. Mattress way old, slept in a "hole", morning back pain reminded me of the old waterbed days. Sign in room said it usually went for $300/night (yea right). Not up to Marriott standards, maybe room used for discount bookings! Would stay again if not for room.

BENNINGTON -- A Shaftsbury man who was convicted in April of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child and later went missing was found by authorities in Arizona. After pleading guilty to violating release conditions Thursday in Bennington Superior Court Criminal Division, he was held for lack of $250,000 bail at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility in Rutland.
Owen Cornell, 29, of Holiday Drive, was reported missing on June 20 by his mother, who said she had last seen him on June 16 at noon. According to a police affidavit, she told authorities he said he was going to a party, but gave no details on when or where. Cornell had been free pending a sentencing hearing on the condition he check in twice a week at the Vermont State Police barracks in Shaftsbury.
State police said that after Cornell was reported missing, they checked their records and saw he had failed to check in on June 14 as he was supposed to, but had been doing so regularly.
Deputy State's Attorney Christina Rainville said Cornell was found by authorities in Arizona, but would not give details on the circumstances around his being there or how he was placed in custody. Cornell's attorney, Public Defender Lucy McCarthy, also declined to comment.
Court records made available to the public did not contain details either, but did indicate Cornell had no money in his possession when he was located, and that a sentencing hearing for him had been scheduled for Sept. 7.
The incident Cornell was brought to trial and convicted on occurred on May 28, 2010. A then 13-year-old boy accused Cornell of having lewd conduct with him.

Remarks in Matavai Bay Friday 28th November 1788
Strong breezes and Variable Weather with Squalls of Rain and Lightning. Wind East and SBE and the Thermometer from 80° to 82°. Employed repairing the Main Topsail and other necessary duties. Having got Moannah to sell me a few Bread fruit Trees that were in a dying state, I sent two hands on shore to cut them up. The readyness of Moannah and Tynah to serve me in this particular as the fuel of Wood kind is a very scarce Commodity unless brought from the Mountains, is a strong proof of their wish to oblige me, and I have done them wrong to say I bought it as I have not got it on such literal conditions, but under Ideas of reciprocal presents. As the mode of dressing food in these Islands and among most others throughout this sea is peculiar to themselves, so any thing that will take fire and give a proper degree of heat to their Ovens is sufficient for all their culinary purposes. They are therefore abundantly supplied by the Cocoanut shells and branches, underwood and Herbaceous plants.
The heavy surf which has run on the shore for a few days past has given great amusement to many of the Natives, but is such as one would suppose would drown any European. The general plan of this diversion is for a number of them to advance with their paddles to where the Sea begins to break and placing the broad part under the Belly holding the other and with their arms extended at full length, they turn themselves to the surge and ballancing themselves on the Paddle are carried to the shore with the greatest rapidity. As several seas follow each other they have those to incounter on their return, which they do by diving under them with great ease and cleverness. The delight they take in this amusement is beyond any thing, and is of the most essential good for them, for even in their largest and best cannoes they are so subject to accidents of being overturned that their lives depend on their swimming and habituing themselves to remain long in the water. They also practice with small cannoes in these high surfs, and it is seldom that any of them get overturned or filled.
I saw a blind Boy to day and a Man with flaxen hair and a white skin, but this person was of the same nature and as near sighted as the lucis natura's [albino's] are found to be among the Negroes in the Island of Jamaica.
I find many of the People to have ulcerous legs and arms, and some ot them have those ulcers to such a virulent degree as to eat away their toes and fingers. I saw a woman who had lost half of each foot, yet it had been made a most perfect cure of, and she was free of any other blemish. But my Surgeon seems to consider these sores to be in general venereal, of which I yet know of no proof altho two of my people have caught the infection and are now under cure of a Gonorrhea.
Tynah with his wife Iddeeah returned to me from Oparre and brought with them a very fine Hog and a quantity of fruit as usual. They were exceedingly glad to see me and were particular in their enquiries how I did, and I felt equal pleasure in seeing those kind friends return to me again whose attention and civility will ever deserve my warmest thanks.
As an Eclipse of the sun came on this morning, I was on shore very early, but the weather was so very cloudy with rain I saw it only towards the ending, which from the very small portion of shadow when it was again covered with clouds, to the time of its appearing totally uneclipsed, and the time elapsed being 1′30″ I conclude I may be within 15 seconds of the true time of the end of the Elcipse (The apparent time was 19h43′53″,) when the sun came clear and I saw it uneclipsed.

Towns of Kerry
Ventry —County Kerry
The scene in which the ancient romantic tale 'Cath Fionntrágha' (Battle of Ventry Strand) is laid. The tale, as told in a 15th century manuscript, now in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, is obviously intended for recitation, with its vivid descriptions and long rows of alliterative adjectives. It describes how Daire Donn, King of the World, and his vassal monarchs landed at Ventry (Ceann Trá) in an attempt to invade Ireland, and how they were defeated on the beachhead by the Fianna under Fionn Mac Cumhaill. Many topographical features are introduced into this tale, and it is thought that the writer must have been a native of the area.

I should start by saying that it's going to be really hard for me to give this race anything but five stars because I liked Iceland itself so much. Was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and it seemed like everybody in Iceland knew about and supported the marathon. Also, I'm a fan of smaller, friendly, non-bureaucratic races, so Raykjavik really won me over. Overall, I liked this race, along with the trip to Iceland, enough that I'm thinking of doing it again next year. As for the course, it was probably the most beautiful of any of the 7 marathons I've fun. Most of it went along the ocean and it also went through Reykjavik. A lot of the course at times followed bike/walking trails (some that weren't asphalt/concrete) that went along the edge of the sea. Really something. The course was also fairly flat, which is nice if you want to get a PR. The temperature was also perfect. The average high in Reykjavik in August is 58 degrees (15 C). This year, it was a sunny and unseasonably warm 62 degrees. I don't think you could find any marathon in the U.S. with avg temperatures much under 85 in Aug, so this makes Reykjavik a great option if you're looking for fast August marathon. Race organization was also generally good and, like I said, felt friendly and non-bureaucratic. Could have been one or two more water stops, but it really wasn't that big of a deal. The expo was great, though it took a bus ride to get there from the city. Have to say that I wasn't a big fan of the pasta dinner at the expo the night before the race, so you might want to plan to skip that in favor of a restaurant in Reykjavik. The crowds weren't huge (not talking NY-marathon-type crowds), but I always think the size of crowds is a little overrated as a factor in choosing a marathon, especially if you've already run more than a few marathons. This said, the spectators were very enthusiastic and there was lots of music along the course.
I don't usually post, but disagree with comments below. While overall a positive experience, the Reykjavik Marathon was my least favorite of 7 marathons I have run, including 4 European ones. Of course, I expected turnout to be small, but there was such limited crowd support, it seemed like no one in the country knew there was a race going on. Iceland has amazing scenery I got to see during the rest of the trip but a majority of the course seemed to be alongside highways and uninteresting neighborhoods. It was also difficult to find the expo, apparently because there are a few places with a similar name, and our cab driver and hotel did not know the correct location Positives - the volunteers were incredibly kind and friendly, and the medal is awesome. Organization and drink stations also well done.
Pleasant course with some very scenic parts along the sea, around the old town area and in parks. There were around 800 marathoners, 2,000 half marathoners and over 5,000 10K'ers. Not many spectators outside of the start/finish area and a few neighborhoods, but that was fine with me as the site itself was inspiration enough. I agree that another water station and port-a-pot area would be useful. I also wish that they had a shuttle from the old town hotels to the registration pickup. The post race food was just OK, but the Cultural Day celebrations which included street musicians, food vendors, shopping, and a final fireworks display at night were very nice. We also stayed an extra week+ to tour this fascinating country.
LOVED the FULL Marathon this year in Reyjavik. Only about 650 in Full and over 2000 in 10km. Half over 1000. Course lovely and scenic but if you are out over 4:30 it can get lonely and markers are few and far between and same with portapotties and water tables. Like a race is not going on. Expo is just a number pick up basically. Beautiful country, lots to do afterwards and at the festival, great great destination marathon. Oh yes, there are a couple of good hilly parts.
As others have said, this is a perfect marathon to combine with a holiday. Lots to do in Iceland and Reykjavik is a cute place for relaxing. The marathon course was mostly waterside and pretty. I would have liked more aid stations but the weather was unusually warm this year. The festival in the afternoon and evening was fantastic, even though it meant lots of walking between the venues. The waffles being sold from the cart in the flea market area were great recovery food.
This is a great medium sized race in a great city in a great country. The Expo was well done and in close proximity to our hotel and bus lines. The course itself was relatively flat but very scenic on Reykjaviks streets and bike paths. Needed more water and portapotties, but overall well done on the same day as the national cultural day with concerts and fireworks. Would definitely do again!!! :)
I'm doing this marathon for the second time and it is going to be a yearly event for me, as is the Firenze marathon. The support from the people in Reykjavik is worth the 42km. I meet only smiling people. And the surroundings is something very special. Thank you Reykjavik. 'Organization' would be 5 if there had been some more refreshments in the finishing area.
Overall, well worth doing at least once: very scenic and not crowded. I did the Reykjavik Half (run at the same time on the same course) last year, which splits off at Mile 12. The difference with the full was that the latter was fairly hilly between Miles 12 and 17 and there was a small off-road stretch around Mile 13. There was a fair amount of running on a bikepath, where it got crowded and difficult to pass between Miles 8 and 10. There was also some on-road running with car traffic, especially later in the race, although this was generally well-handled. Great race weather, although the wind by the ocean segment at Mile 22 or so was overpowering. Good support levels from individual Icelanders, but not big crowds, except at the finish. The end funnel was well organized, and had very nice people. The expo had about six or seven exhibitors and the volunteers there were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The field consisted of about 10,000 (565 finished the marathon, about 1,400 in the half, and the remainder in the 10K and other shorter races). Overall, about 1,000 from outside Iceland ran, including myself. As far as race energy food goes, the jelly beans were of no help whatsoever, but as usual, "GU" was - although the punch in the stomach is always horrendous. I've been told you have to take it solely with water, otherwise the gut punch will happen every time.
Most of the race is around the Reykjavik coastline, which makes for some stunning scenery. It's a fairly low-key event (about 560 marathon runners) but it's well organized. My only criticism is that the people of Reykjavik don't really come out and support the event in any numbers.
It was my first full marathon and a good choice. The course wasn't too difficult and relatively flat. There were mountains, but only to look at in the distance. What I really liked was that the marathon is small but really international. I did chat a lot with fellow runners from Ireland, Scotland, the US and Germany. Iceland is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, so it is a perfect marathon to combine with a holiday.

Shots fired at Rondout Gardens in Kingston; Bronx man arrested, no one hurt (update)
KINGSTON, N.Y. – A 28-year-old known member of the Bloods street gang was arrested Sunday afternoon and charged with two felonies in connection with the midday shooting incident at Rondout Gardens, according to police.
Kingston Police Detective Eric Van Allen said Sunday evening that no one was injured in the incident.
Van Allen said detectives and uniformed patrol arrested Lawrence W. Wright (street name, "October"), of the Bronx and a known member of the Bloods, about 3 p.m. and charged him with possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment, both felonies.
Van Allen said Wright became involved in a dispute at the Rondout Gardens with two or three males in their 20s on Sunday about 12:30 p.m.
He said Wright fired a shot from a 45-caliber handgun at the group from his 2002 green Jaguar, then fled.
Van Allen said he and Detective Tim Bowers received cooperation from residents in the area during the investigation and Wright was arrested at the Mobil station in Port Ewen.
He declined to state where police thought Wright might have been headed at the time of arrest.
Van Allen said police did recover the weapon, but would only say it was found in the downtown area, not on the suspect.
Van Allen said Wright would be held overnight in the police lockup with arraignment scheduled for Monday morning. He said he expected the suspect would be sent to Ulster County Jail without bail.

Aleksandar Dragovic has revealed that seven clubs, which include Arsenal, Inter, Dortmund and Marseille, are interested in his services and according to the best online sportsbooks the Gunners are in with a real chance of getting him.
Barcelona were understood to be keen on the Basel defender, but the 21-year-old quashed these rumours recently, telling Kurier:
'On the names of the clubs there is some truth. With the exception of Barcelona.
'There are seven teams interested, two of which are from Russia. They would be very financially lucrative, but I am not looking for the most money.'

Annik LaFarge (Author)
With a Preface by Rick Darke
A Thames & Hudson book
The first illustrated guide to the elevated park that has transformed an entire neighborhood of New York City.
Thirty feet in the air, rebuilt and planted on one-and-a-half miles of abandoned, elevated railroad track snaking through Manhattan's West Side, the High Line has turned the dream of escape offered by most urban parks inside out.
The High Line invites you deeper into the city than you've ever been before. Its stunning gardens wend between warehouses and apartment buildings, through one of the world's most vibrant contemporary art districts, transforming the neighborhood and reawakening the senses of the millions of visitors it attracts every year.
On the High Line is an engaging, friend-at-your-side guide to everything that a visitor sees when strolling through the park: the innovative gardens and their thousands of plants from around the world; the architecture, both old and new; and a neighborhood whose lively history includes the birth of the railroads, the Manhattan Project, S & M clubs, and the legendary Tenth Avenue Cowboy.
Illustrated with some 400 color photos, including the work of noted photographer and horticulturist Rick Darke, and featuring a foldout map, this book captures the countless details that make a walk here such an unforgettable experience.
"[Annik LaFarge's] book, with its plentiful facts and photographs and 3-foot-long foldout map, is the perfect guide to take…" — Interior Design
"The photographs spectacularly capture the vibrance and beauty of the High Line for the many different things that it is, which includes being a lightning rod for other artistic visions." — Quest
"…a book that will give pleasure and respite to all who love New York City but wish it were somehow quieter, prettier, more conducive to contemplation without electronic devices buzzing from all sides." — Hudson Valley News

A Middle Eastern feast was in the horizon. The Epicurious Kids wanted to celebrate the late spring harvest and early summer delights. What better choice that an exotic take on a Middle Eastern ratatouille Libyan-style – Chakchouka, light and airy arabic pizza and tasty grill of Simsim Daj.
Lahma Bi Ajeen is the United Arab Emirates version of an arab pizza. What kid can resist any local take on the beloved pizza? This meal had many steps for different dishes and Inigo was up for the challenge. "Tristan you prep the veg while I begin working on the dough." Surprise, surprise. The chicken legs were marinated in a mix of home-mixed zatar spices with a squeeze of lemon and chopped coriander. "The spices need time to marinate the chicken." explained Tristan.
The exotic Chakchouka was Tristan main task, He patiently cut, sliced, diced 3 colours of bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, eggplants, green beans and onions. Inigo mixed the meat mixture for the Lahma Bi Ajeen. He pre-baked the dough to prevent a soggy bottom, and threw in chopped tomatoes and coriander onto the pizza. After a few hours of marinating, the chicken and chicken merguez were thrown onto the grill. Quick and easy!
Timing had to be perfect, with the Arabic pizza coming fresh out of the oven, the succulent grilled meats piping hot and the crunchy Chakchouka and fluffy pilaf just ready for hungry mouths. "It´s funny how the flavours taste exotic, spicier, but there is something so familiar with all these dishes!" remarked Tristan.

Ushadevi says:
February 17th, 2011 at 2:06 pmAwesome! Can you explain the process of designing an Ashrama Sadhana day? This might be helpful for Ghrishastas to create one for families at home! Jai Ganapati!
A monk says:
February 18th, 2011 at 12:23 pmAshram sadhana day is the day when the sadhana is to make the ashram actnic. All the elements that hinder the flow of actinic force are removed, such as old junk, unclean surroundings and poorly planned elements of the immediate environment. Broken items are also repaired. The focus is on simplicity.
It only takes one morning a month.
From Our Gurus' Teachings
- Gurudeva's Master Course Lesson of the Day
Bodhinatha's Latest Upadesha: "Detachment from Experiences; Importance of Daily Vigil" (May 5, 2013)
All experiences are good experiences, necessary to get us here. Awareness of aspects of ourselves that are constantly changing is a liberating perception, breaking our chains to mundane areas, detaching from instinctive and intellectual to go into superconscious. The greatest challenge facing youth today is the lack of relating to the devotional side of Hinduism. Daily practice, daily vigil, moves us forward spiritually. Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.

Councillor announces date for Wordsley surgery
9:00am Sunday 3rd February 2013 in News
PEOPLE in Wordsley will be able to put their problems and concerns to Dudley councillor Derrick Hemingsley at his monthly surgeries.
The Labour councillor will be on hand from 10am to 11am every second Saturday in each month.
The surgeries will be at Wordsley Library, Wordsley Green, starting from Saturday February 9.
7:13pm Sun 3 Feb 13
As previous mentions to you Derrick Skate parks have been something that some parks have been introducing which are basically metal ramps etc and these are unsupervised eg of parks thorns, kinver by cricket club. There are alot of kids around the wordsley area with bmxs, skateboards and scooters which would benefit from such a thing and personally shelters which you mentioned are the big thing instead to be purchased would be a waste of money thats more of an attraction to get teenagers to gather and drink over the park. Which you would need supervision then!
These are things that the youth today would more likely benefit than shelters etc being placed around the park. Im sure also funding could also be encouraged by local companies.
So instead of you all think what you want why dont you listen to the public finally!!!

"The fourth audience that may find this volume very helpful is composed of those psychologists who are steeped in the literature and practices of their field in their own countries but have limited international experience. Most practicing psychologists who read this book are likely to learn something new about another field. Finally, researchers who are distanced from their practitioner colleagues may find the research agendas enlightening." (PsycCRITIQUES, 11 April 2012)
The IAAP Handbook of Applied Psychology is a reference book that no applied psychologist can do without.� It covers all the areas of applied and professional psychology, with leading scholars throughout the world.� It is a masterpiece of outstanding quality by a team of distinguished international psychologists.� A must buy for all applied psychologists.Professor Cary L. Cooper, Lancaster University
This up-to-date reference compendium on professional psychology, in all its specializations and on applied psychological research, is a landmark resource for every behavioral scientist-practitioner.
Dr. Kurt Pawlik, University of Hamburg
Seldom do we see a handbook covering the entire field of applied psychology from an international perspective, and never before have I seen such a comprehensive volume with as many distinguished editors and contributors.� With coverage of not only clinical and counseling, but also such emerging fields as traffic psychology, psychology applied to poverty, psychology applied to terrorism, and psychology applied to forced migrants, this book will be an invaluable resource for psychologists working in any area of applied psychology.

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (eBook)
The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio introduces Evelyn Ryan, an enterprising woman who kept poverty at bay with wit, poetry, and perfect prose during the "contest era" of the 1950s and 1960s.
Stepping back into a time when fledgling advertising agencies were active partners with consumers, and everyday people saw possibility in every coupon, Terry Ryan tells how her mother kept the family afloat by writing jingles and contest entries. Mom's winning ways defied the Church, her alcoholic husband, and antiquated views of housewives. To her, flouting convention was a small price to pay when it came to securing a happy home for her six sons and four daughters. Evelyn, who would surely be a Madison Avenue executive if she were working today, composed her jingles not in the boardroom, but at the ironing board.
By entering contests wherever she found them -- TV, radio, newspapers, direct-mail ads -- Evelyn Ryan was able to win every appliance her family ever owned, not to mention cars, television sets, bicycles, watches, a jukebox, and even trips to New York, Dallas, and Switzerland. But it wasn't just the winning that was miraculous; it was the timing. If a toaster died, one was sure to arrive in the mail from a forgotten contest. Days after the bank called in the second mortgage on the house, a call came from the Dr Pepper company: Evelyn was the grand-prize winner in its national contest -- and had won enough to pay the bank.
Graced with a rare appreciation for life's inherent hilarity, Evelyn turned every financial challenge into an opportunity for fun and profit. From her frenetic supermarket shopping spree -- worth $3,000 today -- to her clever entries worthy of Erma Bombeck, Dorothy Parker, and Ogden Nash, the story of this irrepressible woman whose talents reached far beyond her formidable verbal skills is told in The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio with an infectious joy that shows how a winning spirit will triumph over the poverty of circumstance.
About the Author
Terry Ryan, the sixth of Evelyn Ryan's ten children, was a consultant on the film adaptation of The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio. She lives in San Francisco, California.
Praise for The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio…

A player may select each set in one of three ways: by verbally communicating the numbers to the retailer, by completing a playslip or by requesting a Quick Pick. A Quick Pick is a computerized randomly-selected set of numbers available through the Draw Games terminal. Powerball is drawn twice a week Wednesday and Saturday - at approximately 9:59 p.m. The more numbers the player matches to those drawn, the more he or she wins.

Are Foxconn workers paying the price for low-cost production?
A spate of self-inflicted deaths at Foxconn has been covered extensively in the Chinese and international media. The cluster of suicides has focused attention on employment practices at the company, which makes high-end electronics, including Sony's Playstation 2 and 3, the Nintendo Wii, Apple's iPhone, Motorola handsets, and the Amazon Kindle.
The company, which houses workers in dormitories on huge, self-contained campuses, has claimed the suicides are down to personal problems and nothing to do with working conditions. Nevertheless, Foxconn chairman Terry Gou called in monks from the Mount Wutai religious center in northern Shanxi province after the ninth victim.
The Daily Telegraph's Shanghai correspondent pointed out the irony that Chinese students are still required to read Marx, who identified four types of alienation that arose under the capitalist system (including workers feeling inhuman because they were cogs in a machine, because the work they do is reduced to a commercial commodity that is traded on a market, because they have little to do with the design and production of the product, and because their work is repetitive, trivial and meaningless, offering little if any intrinsic satisfaction).
On the other hand, Shaun Reid at Forbes.com argued in April that a heavy moral responsibility lies with the Western companies whose products are produced by Foxconn. Reid focused particularly on Apple, whose iPad is produced by Foxconn. When a prototype went missing last July, an employee responsible for shipping them was interrogated by security guards and committed suicide shortly afterwards.
Chinese media have argued that the number of suicides at Foxconn is not statistically high, while acknowledging that there are concerns about conditions at the company's factories.
Gizmodo reports that the Southern Weekly newspaper sent a journalist to work undercover at a Foxconn factory for one month, and although he found conditions were better than at many similar workplaces, he also said that people worked very long hours and were utterly exhausted after their shifts.

Author Joanna Trollope is going to be taking your questions this week. Her latest book, The Soldier's Wife has been described as 'an absorbing look at the modern military wife' and 'a cracking read...thoroughly researched, compassionate, humourous and topical.'
Joanna has been writing for over thirty years, first as a historical novelist and more recently as a writer of contemporary fiction, including The Choir, Daughters-In-Law and The Rector's Wife. She was appointed OBE in 1996 and was Chair of Judges for the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2012.
Send a question to Joanna before the end of Tuesday 5th February and you'll be entered into a draw to win one of ten copies of The Solder's Wife. We'll post up Joanna's answers on 12th February.
Hi Joanna
Joanna how to do you feel about being called the queen of the Aga-Saga?
Have you ever thought about writing a book for children or teenagers?
How do you feel about the recent Shades of grey phenomenen? A good or a bad thing for the publishing world.
Thanks in advance for answering my question.
Joanna - How hard is it to write a particularly unsympathetic character? I'm thinking particularly of the vicar husband in 'The Rector's Wife' - I wanted to shake him so many times during the story - was there a temptation to soft-pedal the character?
Hi Joanna
Have you ever inadvertently portrayed one of your friends and family in your novels and if so did they recognise themselves?
Hi Joanna,
After looking at your back catalogue I think I have read all your books over many years! Which one novel would you recommend as bring quintessential Trollope, for either a new reader (eg my teenage DD) or as reader reacquainting themselves?
Can you remember the first story you ever wrote?
hello Joanna, never read any of your books.what do you recommend and why
I always used to save your books for long flights as I knew they would be absorbing, I still throughly enjoy rereading them especially as a comfort read.
I like the way that you portray characters who are being controlling towards others (the Judge's wife in "Marrying the Mistress", and the mother-in-law in "The Village Affair", in particular) and how those around them gradually realise they can't take being manipulated anymore. I find the dynamics wholly realistic. I like the way that self-absorbed behaviour and acting to stifle other people does not ultimately work for any characters that attempt it, it's always a very positive read.
My question is, have you ever considered writing a sequel for one of your books and letting us know what happened to the characters down the line? (I would most to know what happened with Frances in "A Spanish Lover" after the story ended!)
I loved 'Daughters-in-Law'. The depiction of the interior life of the characters was paricular close to my own experiences. There is one moment in the book that really made me stop short as it rang so true (having left my country of birth and lived in England all my adult life): when Sigrid's mother tells her that she doesn't belong in Sweden any more: "You've been away too long. It isn't even the country you grew up in. All the people you grew up with have changed with the country, and although you have changed with England you haven't moved on here. How could you? You haven't been here'" This so utterly resonated with my own experience of feeling a dislocation when visiting 'home' - which isn't home any more, even though my family and old school friends are still people I like to see when I visit.
So not really a question, (but if you felt like responding, please do!).
p.s. I thought your description of Arnold Circus wonderful. Not just of the architecture, but capturing its odd social make-up with older socially housed tenants living alongside the incomers.
How do you decide upon the main story line or plot in your stories? Do you have ideas in advance that you have always wanted to write about or are they inspired by specific events or experiences?
Message deleted by Mumsnet for breaking our Talk Guidelines. Replies may also be deleted.
What books inspired you as a child?
Thank you and I enjoy reading your books.
How long does it take you to both research and write a novel, and do you procrastinate while you should be writing? Thank you, I love your books
Hi, over the years I have read all your books! What I'd like to ask you is when you are working on a novel do you focus solely on that storyline or do you have storylines for several novels on the go at once?
Hi Joanna, would you consider supporting an Armed Forces charity like www.ssafa.org.uk? If so, please pm me.
Hi Joanna, if you ever need to ask any questions for a possible follow up to this book, I used to be an army wife for 17 years, and have a wealth of experience I wouldn't mind sharing. Your book looks interesting, if I don't win it on here, I may buy it.
Hello Joanna.
It's National Libraries Day on Saturday 9th Feb.
If you were to go the library on Saturday, which book would you choose to borrow and why?
(You can borrow up to 15 on your card in my county so you could pick more than one!)
Fifteen books? What a generous library. Great question to end with Merrylegs. Thanks to everyone for posting the questions which we've now sent over to Joanna. We'll be posting up her answers on 12th Feb.
We now have Joanna's answers and will post them up on the board. Congratulations to: Highlandcoo, Ashoething, SunshinePanda, Montage, Hopezibah, Katb1973, Awks, HeavenlyAmy, Merrylegs and Lomaamina who have all won signed copies of The Soldier's Wife. Thanks to all for taking part.
Hi Joanna
Joanna how to do you feel about being called the queen of the Aga-Saga?
Have you ever thought about writing a book for children or teenagers?
Lovely email! Pretty tired of that patronising old tag by now especially as it is so inaccurate. But I think it's wearing off, don't you? Hope so!
That's a very flattering suggestion. I think the teenage genre is probably the hardest of all to get right and I really admire those who can do it so I think the truthful answer is that other writers are much better at teenage and children's writing than me... But thank you!
How do you feel about the recent Shades of grey phenomenen? A good or a bad thing for the publishing world.
Thanks in advance for answering my question.
Broadly speaking anything that sells the written word is good! Having said that, my personal view is that the Fifty Shades trilogy was so riotously successful because it was actually about money, and the power money brings and the sex was almost incidental. It has been ever thus with romantic fiction, even with the sainted Jane Austen! But my considered view is that in five years time we will look back on this and describe it as 'a fad'. Don't you think? Thanks so much for writing.
Joanna - How hard is it to write a particularly unsympathetic character? I'm thinking particularly of the vicar husband in 'The Rector's Wife' - I wanted to shake him so many times during the story - was there a temptation to soft-pedal the character?
What an interesting question - thank you. When it comes to the less likeable characters, my aim is to make them realistic, whether good or bad. So, I strive to give reasons for people in my novels behaving as they do even if, like life, there are no excuses. So, because authenticity is my aim, my heart doesn't have to be embedded in every character and, if it were, the outcome would be a very sentimental cast list which you, the reader, wouldn't believe in!
Hi Joanna
Have you ever inadvertently portrayed one of your friends and family in your novels and if so did they recognise themselves?
Never! I promise you I would neither dare to, nor dream of it! My characters are patchworks of real human elements but i would never take anybody from real life and put them in a novel. And, I have to say, at the risk of sounding a bit stuffy, I rather disapprove of anyone who tries to. You have to be a genius, like Evelyn Waugh, to get away with it.
Hi Joanna,
After looking at your back catalogue I think I have read all your books over many years! Which one novel would you recommend as bring quintessential Trollope, for either a new reader (eg my teenage DD) or as reader reacquainting themselves?
Thank you! I think for your daughter it might be a good idea to start with something like 'Friday Nights' to see if she likes the style and the voice. For somebody coming back to reading me ( thanks to them too!). What about ' Daughters-In-Law', especially if they have one?!
