Super lejlighed der ligger i hjertet af Palma
Blev modtaget af Maria der anbefalede gode restauranter og seværdigheder i nærheden
Gåafstand til shopping, seværdigheder, strand med mere...
Beautiful apartment directly in the city center (pedestrian zone), you can recommend. Everything is within walking distance.
Apartment was as described, clean and well furnished. 3rd floor without elevator is a challenge with large suitcases.
Get back paid deposit on departure immediately.
The position indicated on the map is not correct. The apartment is as described in the text in the Carrer de Jaume II in the pedestrian zone
Schöne Wohnung direkt in der Innenstadt (Fußgängerzone), kann man empfehlen. Alles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Wohnung war wie beschrieben, sauber und gut eingerichtet. 3. Stock ohne Lift ist mit großen Koffern eine Herausforderung.
Gezahlte Kaution bei Abreise sofort zurückerhalten.
Die angezeigte Position auf der Karte ist nicht richtig. Die Wohnung liegt wie im Text beschrieben in der Carrer de Jaume II in der Fußgängerzone
The appartment was well suited for Our need - 3 bedrooms and 3 Bath rooms for 6 girlfriends. The double in one of the rooms was very narrow, but the other beds were all right. The apartment's location in the old part of Palma was very Nice. It was a quiet area With no traffic noice. The negative part was that there was no list. With Heavy suitcases this was a chellenge. But we managed and enjoyed Our stay.
We were surprised that we had to pay a deposit of Euro 250 in cash when the rent was paid upfront. That was a New experience. I have recently rented a house in Floride which I paid upfront, and no depositum was needed. The house I rented was not through Windu.
Owner is kind. Apartment very nice, clean, right in the center of Palma. Small minus - the lack of air conditioning in bedrooms.
We were in November 14. fourth a couple of days in the nice apartment and have felt very comfortable. Transfer worked well, was very friendly. The area is great, lots of nice restaurants, very centrally located.
The apartment was very well equipped, very clean.
3rd floor without lift with suitcases a bit of a challenge, but that makes it so only once.
Can thoroughly recommend, we would stay here again!
Wir waren im November 14 zu viert ein paar Tage in der netten Wohnung und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Übergabe hat gut funktioniert, war sehr freundlich. Die Gegend ist toll, viele nette Lokale, ganz zentral gelegen.
Die Wohnung war sehr gut ausgestattet, ganz sauber.
3. Stock ohne Lift ist mit den Koffern eine kleine Herausforderung, aber das macht man ja nur einmal.
Kann man uneingeschränkt empfehlen, wir würden wieder hier wohnen!
great central location in the old town, nice apartment and terrace
tolle zentrale Lage in der Altstadt, schöne Wohnung und Terrasse
We stated in the loft with 4 persons in our twenties looking for a place for our own to have a relaxing holiday.
Location: In the center of the city between two main squares. One with a big shopping mall and bus station and the other near the main shopping district and tapas bars were most of the locals seem to come.
Accommodation: very neat and specious for four persons. two room; one with a two-person bed an another with two one-person beds. We didn't cook in the apartment however there sufficient supplies in the open kitchen.
service: after a text message the owner met us at the apartment very promptly and arranged everything with us.
Generally speaking: very nice place to use as a hub to go into Palma and explore the island. We for one very much enjoyed our stay.
Big thanks for Spain Rentals for having us over.
Fabian, The Netherlands.
Vi fik ikke lejligheden på Mar 16 ,så den er svær at anmelde. Men lejligheden vi fik på San Miquel var 4 stjerner , men vi manglede at der var ikke 2 badeværelser som vi havde bestilt. Men eller var det et godt byt - tror vi.
Subito molto disponibile nei nostri confronti. L'appartamento, molto bello innanzitutto e come da descrizione, ha evidenziato qualche problema fin da subito (uno stipite della porta rotto dai precedenti affituari), la luce di un bagno non funzionante dopo un giorno. Purtroppo non siamo riusciti ad avere una risposta immedata dal proprietario.
Per il resto l'appartamento è dotato di ogni comfort, e situato in una zona residenziale di Palmanova.

text: Frampton eyes Seaview world title fight 21 Oct 2013 Belfast boxer Carl Frampton has said he's hopeful his next fight will be for a world title, with Seaview - the home of his favourite football club, Crusaders - and the Ravenhill rugby grounds among the possible venues. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The 26-year-old was speaking to UTV after impressively beating Jeremy Parodi at the Odyssey Arena over the weekend to retain his European super-bantamweight title.Now the Jackal has turned his attention to his next fight. He said: "The next fight, they're going to start looking about that pretty soon, hopefully it's going to be for a world title."I'm 90% sure that's the case."Obviously outdoors in February in Belfast isn't ideal so I'd have to rule Ravenhill or Seaview out for that but in the summertime any of the two venues would be amazing, we'd fill it out and defending a world title in Belfast would be unbelievable."Frampton dominated the world title eliminator from the off on Saturday night before delivering a brutal body shot in the sixth round, with Parodi dropping to his knees before being counted out."I was very confident going into the fight but I always am going into every fight, I believe now I am one of the best super-bantam weights in the world," explained Frampton."I am just hoping that other people are starting to believe that as well."Frampton's next big match is this weekend when he will be getting married to Christine on Sunday - and he said there are no nerves or butterflies."Not yet," he said. "I thought after the fight I may have woken up with a few butterflies but no I am excited, I think she is probably more nervous but I am okay."I am marrying a good one you see, so it's okay." © UTV Share Share Share

Senate Judiciary Committee chair says it wasn't possible to accommodate the White House desire for a vote by yearend.
WASHINGTON – The Republican-controlled Senate will begin hearings Jan. 9 on Judge Samuel Alito's appointment to the Supreme Court, leaders of the Judiciary Committee announced today, a bipartisan repudiation of President Bush's call for a final confirmation vote before year's end.
"It simply wasn't possible to accommodate the schedule that the White House wanted," said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He outlined a timetable that envisions five days of hearings, followed by a vote in committee on Jan. 17 and the full Senate on Jan. 20.
"It's far more important to do it right than fast," said Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the senior Democrat on the panel. "In this case, I suspect we're doing both."
The White House had no immediate reaction.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...
Most Read Stories
There was no evidence that the scheduling decision signaled any deeper dissatisfaction with the nomination on the part of Republicans. "I think Judge Alito has made a very good first impression," said Specter.
Bush nominated Alito on Monday to fill the seat of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who has often held the swing vote on cases involving controversial issues such as abortion and affirmative action.
Already, some Democrats have raised the possibility of a filibuster — an attempt to prevent final action on the nomination — and Leahy stopped short of committing to a vote in the full Senate on Jan. 20.
Specter said that "lurking below the surface is a concern for a filibuster" and said pushing the start of hearings to January "takes away a principal argument for those who would say the Senate is rushing."
The Pennsylvania Republican announced the date for hearings as Alito, a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, courted support in assembly-line fashion, using a room off the Senate floor as an impromptu office while lawmakers rotated through.
Conservatives eager to replace O'Connor and push the court to the right have swung behind Alito's nomination, and in making the appointment the president urged the Senate to vote this year.
Democrats, citing a need to review the voluminous record that Alito has compiled in 15 years as a judge, favored waiting until the new year to start the hearings. The 55-year-old judge has written an estimated 300 rulings and participated in roughly 1,500 cases.
At the news conference, Leahy took several slaps at the White House for seeking to pressure lawmakers.
"We are grown-ups, and we know how to get this done," he said.
Apart from the legal rulings to be reviewed, the National Archives issued a statement saying its staff would need several weeks to complete a search of Justice Department records for any material pertaining to Alito. The agency also is seeking documents at the Ronald Reagan and George Bush presidential libraries that might shed light on Alito's actions or views, the statement said.
Alito worked in both administrations and was a federal prosecutor in his home state of New Jersey before his confirmation as an appeals court judge.
Since Monday, Alito has met with more than a dozen senators in courtesy calls, a time-honored process that involves having the nominee walk from one office to another.
With lawmakers involved in a daylong series of votes that kept them in the Capitol, Alito was ushered into a room a few paces off the Senate floor so senators — Cornyn, Trent Lott, R-Miss., and Robert Bennett, R-Utah — could be brought to him.
A fourth Republican, Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, talked with Alito on the steps outside the Capitol. A supporter of abortion rights, Chafee said he raised the issue with the nominee in their brief meeting. "We were able to have a candid conversation that I prefer to keep confidential," he said.
Like other senators, Chafee said he was withholding his judgment about the nomination until after the hearings. "As a horseman, I know the first step when you meet a horse is to take it easy, take it slow," he said.
Specter was caught between conflicting pressures as he sought to work out a schedule on the nomination. While the president made his wishes clear, Democrat Leahy of Vermont said this week it was not possible to hold honest or fair hearings before the new year.
Republicans have the ability to schedule hearings as they wish, but Democrats have procedural rights under Senate rules that could prolong the hearings, delay sending the nomination to the floor or otherwise complicate the administration's desire for a smooth confirmation.
Additionally, some Republicans noted that a vote in January — before Bush's State of the Union address — could allow him to claim an early political success in the new year. They also said it could be politically risky to have Alito testify in December, then allow several weeks to elapse before a vote by the full Senate. That would allow liberal critics to mount a nationwide campaign for his rejection.

The Sapphires, which was released earlier this year, is about the true story of four indigenous women from Australia who are discovered by a talent scout and are sent to Vietnam to perform for the troops. It's a film, we loved because of its smart look at racial issues and feel good spirit.
The film is set to be released on DVD in the U.S. tomorrow and the cover seems to have gotten a bizarre and racist makeover. O'Dowd, if you've seen the film, plays an important role but he is not the lead of the film. However, the U.S. cover places O'Dowd front and center on the cover--making it look as if he's a 60s pop star/sex symbol. The women are placed behind him as if they were his backup singers.
There has been some controversy since the DVD cover hit with people including both O'Dowd and the four women who inspired the film -- Naomi Mayers, Beverly Briggs, Lois Peeler and Laurel Robinson.
They alongside Sol Bellear, chairman of the Redfern Aboriginal Medical Service wrote to the NAACP for their support.
As I'm sure you can appreciate, the treatment of people of colour in Australia mirrored much of the trauma to which people in the United States were subjected. That trauma - and much of that treatment - remains alive and well in Australia today, as I know it does in the United States. The US cover of the DVD completely misses this point, and in fact reinforces precisely the sort of bigotry that Naomi, Beverly, Lois and Laurel fought so hard against. We're hopeful that the NAACP - with its long and proud history of advocating strongly for the interests of people of colour - will add its significant voice to calls for the DVD cover to be changed.
On Twitter, O'Dowd called the cover "ridiculous, it's misleading, it's ill-judged, insensitive and everything the film wasn't." With this move, Anchor Bay has silenced the story of a group of aboriginal women, both erasing the stories of strong women and completely whitewashing the important racial politics of the film--reinforcing exactly what these women fought for.
Sign the Change.org petition telling Anchor Bay to change the DVD cover. As of this morning, it has over 10,000 signatures.

Hello there,
I'm planning on buying my first fixie, which I have chosen to be the Motobecane Track 2010 from bikesdirect. However, I'm a little confused about the sizing. I'm somewhere between 5'5-5'6, and my inseam is a little less than 30 inches (it's closer to 30 than it is to 29.5). So should I go with the 52cm sized bike? Or would the 49cm be a better fit?
Here's a link to the geometry of the bike: http://www.motobecane.com/track/trk.html#geo
Thanks for all your help!

Looking for Another Big One on the Big O
This afternoon, I'll drive down to Lake Okeechobee to fish with friends, Sam Griffin and Dave Burkhardt. Sam is a legend on the Big O, and a long-time creator of some of the best wood topwater baits. He also knows as much about the art of cajoling bass to bite a topwater as anyone I've ever met.
You can read more about Sam and learn some of his tactics by reading this article that I wrote for The Online Fisherman.
A couple of years ago, I caught the 8-5 pictured above while fishing with Sam on Lake Okeechobee.
The Big O is not only a world-class bass fishery, but a national treasure because of its natural beauty, its abundant wildlife, and its popularity as a tourism attraction. One of its inhabitants is the rare Everglades snail kite, which I photographed while fishing with Sam.
Sadly, Lake Okeechobee also is a paradise under siege from pollution. Check out this article to learn more.

A fundamental tradeoff in cloud computing lies between workload consolidation and performance. While the cloud can reduce cost by serving clients using pooled resources, resource and network sharing among clients may lead to performance problems. Two economic issues are related to resource sharing : 1) How can the cloud reduce its operational cost through resource multiplexing while providing performance guarantees in face of varying demands? 2) How should the cloud competitively and fairly price its guaranteed services in the presence of resource sharing? To answer these questions, I will present two case studies. First, we discuss cloud network reservation and pricing for a large number of QoS-sensitive clients. We formulate the problem as network utility maximization (NUM) with a coupled objective function, and propose a new distributed solution that proves to be more efficient and scalable than the traditional method of dual decomposition in practice. We also show that the optimal prices form a Nash Equilibrium and depend not only on the usage but also on workload patterns. In the second case study, we propose a cloud brokerage service that books a large pool of reserved instances from IaaS clouds and serves clients with price discounts. The broker exploits both the pricing gap of reserved and on-demand instances and the gain from time-multiplexing partially used instance-hours. We propose strategies for the broker to make dynamic instance reservation decisions, which can efficiently handle a large volume of client demand estimates. Our studies are verified by 400 GB of traces collected from a commercial video delivery service called UUSee and 180 GB of Google cluster usage traces.

Shootings rise after China gives its police guns
BEIJING (AP) — A string of shooting incidents involving Chinese police — leaving at least four people dead — has the public wondering if rank-and-file officers are really ready to carry guns, as mandated by new regulations.
Last month, two policemen brought a loaded gun to a kindergarten show-and-tell. The handgun mistakenly went off, injuring four parents and one child.
The next day, an officer responded to a village quarrel and fatally shot a man in murky circumstances.
Police also fired repeatedly at a knife-wielding man driving a truck, killing him, even though witnesses said he posed no real threat.
The incidents — which have generated widespread media coverage and social media buzz — come after authorities decided in April to issue guns to patrolling officers to better protect the public and improve police response to crime and attacks.
The trigger seems to have been a brazen attack by a group of assailants who stabbed 29 people to death and wounded 140 others in train station in the southern province of Yunnan. Officials blamed the attack on extremists from the western Xinjiang region.
For decades, Chinese police were unarmed because the country has very little gun violence and firearms are hard to obtain. The change leaves Britain, Norway and New Zealand among developed countries where patrolling police officers generally aren't armed.
"Broadening the right (to carry guns) to more police officers could bring more harm than good if they do not follow the laws," said Liu Zhirong, an independent scholar who was once a researcher at an elite Chinese military police academy. "Police must learn to minimize use of force."
The Public Security Ministry has the daunting task of training hundreds of thousands of local police on how to handle a deadly weapon in the line of duty. The Chinese police force is 1.7 million strong, and it isn't clear how many will be armed. In Shanghai, about 1,000 of its 40,000 police began carrying standard-issue revolvers during routine patrols in April.
Experts worry that the training will focus too much on technical aspects, such as firing accuracy, and not enough on psychological and legal aspects, such as when to draw the gun and how to quickly size up chaotic situations.
"I even wonder if some police officers have ever seen a gun," said Hong Daode, a professor of criminal law at China University of Political Science and Law. "We are basically starting from zero."
Before they can take aim at a suspect, police are required by law to identify themselves, issue verbal warnings and shoot into the air. If they do fire at a person, they are supposed to aim for non-vital body parts.
The ministry has rolled out training sessions on firearms, and promises to eventually send 10,000 trainers across the country with each county-level region getting three trainers on average, the official Xinhua News agency said. Police Ministry officials did not respond to requests to be interviewed.
At a recent gun training session for 70 Beijing officers, the Beijing Youth newspaper said the primary goal was rapid firing. Officers were required to fire off six bullets within three seconds.
"We stress rapid firing, as an officer must draw the gun and shoot the first bullet within 1.2 seconds, and the officer must hit the target with the first shot," a trainer identified by his family name Shao told Beijing Youth.
A police officer quoted in the local newspaper Hua Shang Bao, and identified only with an alias, said he received minimal gun training at a police academy four years ago, and that he held a handgun for the first time since then in March. He was given a gun, five bullets and a license and told to study rules after answering a few basic questions and filling out a form, he said.

Let's be honest. It's your own fault you have a colony of plastic bags insulating the cabinet under your sink. Although it isn't your intention to start a collection, they keep weaseling their way home from Walmart. You don't know what to do about it.
Some good news is on the way! Enlist your plastic bags to do double and triple duty to save money on everyday products and recycle those crumpled mounds. Some are a bit obvious while others will challenge your current habits. Get started reusing today!
1. Trashcan Liners
Plastic Bags 101: If you aren't using them to line the bathroom trash bin, recognize this gaping hole in your education. It just makes sense. Save money on buying liners from the store since the grocery bags are a perfect size.
2. Travel Laundry Hamper
On the road again? For our family of three I generally pack 2-3 extra bags for dirties so they don't touch the clean clothes. I also wrap the gooey travel goods like shampoos and lotions with a couple bags in case of explosion.
3. Toy Organizer
Keep each puzzle, Lego set, and group of blocks together in a plastic bag. I'm all for the neatness of primary colored plastic containers--just buy fewer large ones and load them up with cleverly contained toys.
4. Barf Bags
Sometimes you'll run across a bitter flight attendant who didn't bother to make sure each seat is stocked with an "uh oh" bag. This has happened on two flights I've been on recently. Maybe they've started charging extra for them. Bring your own motion sickness insurance and you won't be that embarrassed passenger who ralphed everywhere.
5. Army Man Parachute
Put one bag inside the other and tie a string on each set of handles. Attach the string to your child's favorite army man, pony, or cat and watch him glide through the air.
6. Liquid Containment
For "non-spill" sippy cups (a total oxymoron), travel liquids, busted styrofoam cups, and defrosting chicken, enclose with a double-lined plastic bag to save the carpet.
7. Makeshift Umbrella
Grandma was a pro at this. She always had a couple of spare plastic bags in the car to protect her freshly quaffed curls. If you don't mind a few droplets on your clothes, but need to protect the do, cover your head with a bag and spare yourself the hassle of a traditional umbrella.
8. Shower Cap
Right in line with #7. Definitely double bag and tie the handles loosely at the base of your skull to avoid errant drips.
9. Stuffing for Toys or Pillows
For your "show" pillows (the shams no one is allowed to sleep on) just stuff with a pile of plastic bags rather than shelling out for a real pillow or cotton stuffing. It may crinkle a little, but will look great.
10. Reuse Bags at the Grocery Store
There's no rule against taking the plastic bags back to the store. Just leave the ones crusted with raw chicken juice at home.
11. Knee pads for the Garden
For flowerbed or gardening work, you'll need to protect your clothing or knees while rooting around. Wrap one or two bags around each knee and forget worrying about grass stains.
12. Gloves for Dog Doo
You get the picture. A man's gotta doo what a man's gotta doo for his four-legged friend.
13. Travel Diaper Pail
The plastic bag will not completely contain the stench of baby waste (especially after starting solids), but if you're on the road and can't score a trashcan, wrapping a poopy diaper in a plastic bag will reduce how quickly the stench diffuses.
14. Shipping or Packing Insulation
Bubble wrap is ridiculously high. Stick it to the postal people and recycle to stuff your packages. Pack in more than you think to reduce the amount of shifting during transit.
15. Lunch Sacks
Reuse the same bag many times to tote your leftovers to work. Label the bag clearly with a piece of tape to avoid the "accidental" lunch theft.
16. Paint Brush Storage
After you have thoroughly cleaned your paintbrush, wrap the bristles with part of a bag and secure with a rubber band. This will keep the shape of your brush and prevent other chemicals from leaking onto the bristles.
17. Medical Needs
When you have a body part in a cast or an area that can get wet, cut up a couple bags and double layer around the area with water resistant tape so you can bathe while recovering.
18. Wrapping Paper
Real Simple has a beautiful design for how to stylishly wrap birthday gifts with leftover bags. I probably wouldn't have the patience for it, but it looks great.
19. Text Book Covers
Double layer your bags and cut open to make a textbook cover. Avoid those extra charges for excessive wear and tear with a plastic exterior.
20. Quilt a Handbag
Definitely en vogue, the recycled handbag is a sheik alternative to leather and pleather products. But don't be a dolt and buy the designer recycled fashion products. Fashion your own from that overflowing shelf of bags!
Perhaps a better response to that breeding pile of plastic should be a shout of glee. By repurposing those tossables, you could save up to $120 dollars on the products above. Turn that trash into treasure to save big and responsibly recycle.
Spartiecat says:
Growing up my family always used to use them as trash bags, in the bathroom, bedrooms, everywhere. I was astonished that small wastebasket sized binliners even existed when I first started shopping for myself
I use them to cover my boots when I need to make a quick trip in the house while I have been working in the garden/yard. This way I do not have to waste time taking my boots off when I am going right back out and I don't track mud all over the house.
jen says:
They are great for packing away those christmas and holiday ornaments, too. The delicate ones that always seem to lose their boxes can be wrapped in lots of fluffy plastic bags and tucked into a big bin to go back to the attic safely!
nancy baldwin says:
What a great idea! I will be passing this onto my fans. This should inspire so many people! Thanks for all the great idea's and making it so easy for people to reuse them.
Lisa says:
Love the shipping package tip! Here's a few more things I do with them: Wrap a bag around each foot and secure with a rubber band to keep your feet dry in inclement weather. Use them to dispose of the clumping litter out of the cat litter box. If you can't think of any other uses, take them to the recycle box at the grocery store.
Carrie says:
wow, some of these I already do but some are pure genius. LOVE the Target bag t-shirt btw :)
Kathy says:
Wow! And I didn't really think this article could tell me anything I had not thought of. I was wrong. Some very nifty ideas here. Thanks.
Jen says:
I used to use them as kite's as a kid, just 2 piece's of string needed, one to go between the handle's and then tie the second piece in the middle of the 1st. hey presto a kite! You could use wool instead of string.

Marathon bombing suspect in custody
WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) — Boston Police say a 19-year-old college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombings is in custody after a manhunt that left the city virtually paralyzed and his older brother and accomplice dead.
Police announced via Twitter that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (JOH'-kahr tsahr-NY'-ev) was in custody. His brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, was killed Friday in a furious attempt to escape police.
The brothers are suspects in Monday's marathon bombings, which killed three people and wounded more than 180 others. The men are also suspected of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer in his vehicle late Thursday.
Authorities in Boston had suspended all mass transit and warned close to 1 million people in the entire city and some of its suburbs to stay indoors as the hunt for the remaining suspect went on.

Firing up confidence on Salamander course in Trowbridge (From This Is Wiltshire)
Firing up confidence on Salamander course in Trowbridge
6:00pm Wednesday 2nd July 2014 in By Andy Baber, Senior reporter for Trowbridge
Young tenants from two Wiltshire housing associations hope to make the most of their new skills, after completing Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service's Salamander course.
A passing-out parade was held at the end of the three-week course last Friday when they could demonstrate their new skills in front of families, friends, housing association officials and senior fire officers.
The tenants also gained nationally recognised qualifications in first aid through the British Red Cross and health and safety and food safety through Wiltshire Enterprise.
Selwood tenant Damien Mence, 26, said: "It's been really amazing and a great experience. I have learned a lot of new skills and I want to become a firefighter, so it's really helped me.
"It's great that Selwood and Aster have been able to offer this.
"It has really been a life-changing experience and made me more confident."
Salamander was originally designed as a youth engagement programme, with people taking part tackling a variety of challenges based on basic firefighter training, to build self-esteem and develop leadership and communication skills.
The collaboration with Devizes-based Aster Communities and Trowbridge based Selwood Housing has had the same focus and it is hoped that those completing the course will be able to use the experience to find jobs.

It really is to be hoped that James Gray and Jane Scott see sense and stop blocking the merger. Are they really prepared to increase fire risk in Wiltshire? Graham Payne has do the right thing by resigning from the chaimanship of the Fire Service to draw attention to the danger. It now looks as if he will resign from the Conservative Party.

Deal or No Deal: Can busted Merger and Acquisition Deals be Avoided?
CFO Insights
It's one of a CFO's worst nightmares. A possible acquisition is identified; initial due diligence is completed; a price is negotiated; an acquisition deal is signed; and then for some unforeseen reason, the M&A deal falls apart. Why? And, more importantly, could the nightmare have been avoided?
In this issue of CFO Insights, we'll introduce new research by Hollis Skaife, professor from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Deloitte Fellow and Scholar, and Daniel Wangerin of Michigan State University, that looks at what impact low quality financial reporting may have on the outcome of M&A deals – and offers a metric that may capture its existence before a deal closes.

One major problem with preparing sandwiches ahead of time is that they may become soggy. This is a guide about keeping sandwiches from getting soggy.
My son loves Bologna and Cheese sandwiches with Mayo, but I've always hated knowing that by lunch he was eating a soggy sandwich. SO, I started putting the mayonnaise on between the bologna and cheese so that the bread doesn't get soggy. It's worked wonders and he doesn't complain.
By Jessica from Richmond, KY
I pack sandwiches in lunch bag (insulated) and include an ice pack. The bread gets soggy, how can this be prevented?
By Sabra
The only time I had a similar problem was when the ice pack itself was leaking. Ice packs are filled with chemicals that might not be good to have around food. I threw mine away and bought another for only $1. These smaller ice packs are available just about everywhere and are worth the money. I have two, one for in the insulated lunch bag and the other for in the freezer to use the next day. Recycling at its best!
When preparing a turkey sandwich for lunch what could I store the mayo and tomatoes in? If I put the mayo and tomatoes on the sandwich in the a.m. it is usually soggy and wet by lunch time. Any suggestions?
1. Separate containers for bread/meat/cheese and veggies/tuna. Use small re-usable containers rather than plastic wrap or baggies, since the wraps and baggies will almost certainly go directly into a landfill.
2. Pick up a big box of condiment packets at Sam's Club, Costco, Big Lots, or other bulk discount store. They come in ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and sometimes pickle relish. Each box will last several months.
3. Leave off the tomatoes because they do cause sogginess, but include lettuce, and also a little pickle, maybe.
4. Make a "dry" sandwich of bread, meat or cheese, lettuce, and side-packets of condiments (see #2). Then include a separate container with a bit of cucumber-tomato salad (no lettuce -- that adds bulk, but not a lot of nutrients) or fruit salad. Don't forget a fork! Sam's Club has a pack of 36 forks for something like $7 or $8, ditto with spoons, and about $13 for 36butter knives. If your child has her own utensils, she's less likely to forget and leave them somewhere, especially if there's a convenient place in her lunch box to put them.
5. If the kid just loves tomatoes and other soggy sandwich ingredients, make toast the night before (or make a whole loaf of toast on Sunday) by laying the bread in the oven on the lowest setting for an hour. It will dry out a LOT and become very crispy. That way, when you put the tomato slice on in the morning, the bread will be soft but not horribly soggy by lunch time.

This nine-hole course has a total yardage of 3,033 yards. The Beaver Creek winds throughout the course and comes into play on five of the nine holes. There are a total of eight sand traps. Beaver Creek Golf Course is a good challenge for golfers of all abilities. Large, readable greens, along with the creek and sand traps, will truly test your short game. Pull out that driver and try for a birdie on our 512 yard, par-5 or one of the four holes over 350 yards.
The Clubhouse features a full-service bar, snack shop, pro shop and banquet facilities. Make sure to sample one of our "Famous Bloody Marys".
The most enjoyable aspect of Beaver Creek Golf Course is the tranquil setting. It is not unusual to see deer and other wildlife during the course of nine holes.

An Edinburgh business plans to build a stronger roof after the weight of 50 inches of snow caused it to collapse during the snow storm.
About 11 inches of snow fell in the southern part of Johnson County on Dec. 26, but wind blew more snow onto the roof of two service bays at Edmundson RV Sales and caused the roof to buckle under the weight, general manager Rudy Hampton said.
"The snow accumulated so fast and heavy," Edinburgh Police Chief David Mann said.
A passer-by noticed the roof had collapsed and called the Edinburgh Police Department, who contacted the business owners, Hampton said. The business had closed for the day due to the snowstorm, Hampton said.
Three RVs and two cars that were in the service bays were damaged. Multiple water and gas lines also ruptured when the roof collapsed, Hampton said. No one was in the building, at 14501 U.S. 31 North, at the time.
Utility workers repaired leaks in the water and gas lines the day the damage was caused, and the roof will be repaired by next week. He said he is unsure how much the repairs to the damaged vehicles and the roof will cost, but the business will make sure to put extra support under the roof so it does not collapse again.
Edmundson RV Sales will remain open for business during repairs, Hampton said. The business has sold and repaired RVs, trailers and campers in Edinburgh for 17 years, he said.

"The CMA Awards is recognized as the 'Country Music's Biggest Night,' and that is what sets us apart from every other award show," said Ed Hardy, President of the Country Music Association Board of Directors, in an ABC press release. "This is the night we recognize the best in the format – as chosen by the industry – and it is undeniably the most highly anticipated event of the year for our constituents. It's a night to honor our finest performers, songwriters, record producers, musicians and music video directors."
Last year's awards here hosted by (as usual!) the great Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, with major wins for married couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. The eligibility period for the 2013 CMA Awards is July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. Expect to see the list of nominees in September.
Who should win Entertainer of the Year this time?

WHEELING - Beginning next month, Wheeling City Council will break with years of tradition by holding its meetings earlier in the day.
In a 6-1 vote with Councilman Robert "Herk" Henry as the lone opposition, council approved an ordinance calling for start times of the body's twice monthly meetings to alternate between noon and 5:30 p.m. Noon meetings will take place on the first Tuesday of each month, and the late afternoon meetings on the third.
Mayor Andy McKenzie has said he wants to make council meetings convenient for a greater number of residents to attend, some of whom may not want to drive back downtown two hours after leaving work or have children who participate in evening activities.

Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie speaks during Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Tuesday's meeting was moved to noon to avoid conflicting with Elton John's evening concert at WesBanco Arena. If the attendance was an indicator of things to come, public reaction to the change was lukewarm.
Seating was at a premium in City Manager Robert Herron's conference room, but that was mostly a product of the much smaller venue, as the courtroom on the second floor of the City-County Building was unavailable due to the second day of former Wheeling police officer Matthew Kotson's sex assault trial.
Not counting the elected officials and city employees present, only four people attended the meeting.
But Mayor Andy McKenzie said the same often holds true for evening meetings and pointed to that as reason why he believes there's nothing to lose by trying something different.
"Clearly our attendance was not harmed by the noon meeting. Our regular two people are here," said McKenzie, gesturing toward Elm Grove residents Bill and Sharon O'Leary, who attend council meetings regularly.
Residents including Bill O'Leary have raised concerns about the earlier meetings, particularly the availability of parking near the City-County Building during the regular work day. Most parking meters on that section of Chapline Street have a 30-minute time limit, and meetings often last longer than that.
Regarding whether he believes the earlier times will eventually boost attendance, McKenzie said following the meeting, "Time will tell."
In other business, council also approved $451,602 in contracts with Lash Paving of Colerain for street resurfacing around the city, including $179,660 in federal Community Development Block Grant funds. Streets to be paved with general fund money include North Eighth Street, Quail Court, Armory Drive, Hunter Avenue, Lee Drive, Corliss Terrace, Maple Drive, Race Avenue, Courtland Avenue, Elm Crest Drive, Evelyn Avenue, Springdale Avenue and Ridge Avenue, while CDBG money will be used to pave Cherry Street from Lind Street to East 10th Street; a portion of Grandview Street; Eoff Street from 22nd to 24th streets; and 33rd Street from Eoff Street to Lane G.
Council also passed an ordinance tightening allowable limits for the discharge of certain wastes through the city's sewer system. Herron said the legislation is necessary for Wheeling to remain eligible for certain low interest loans through the state for water and sewer projects.
One new provision would decrease the permitted daily concentration of chloride from 1,806 mg/L to 1,650 mg/L. Another would add ammonia to the list of regulated substances, providing for a surcharge of 21 cents per pound for customers discharging wastewater with an ammonia concentration 46 mg/L or higher.

6. Army-Trained Crew, in "The League of Gentlemen" (1960)
Of course, "Kelly's Heroes" wasn't the first film to feature a group of soldiers-turned-bank robbers, but it's still quite different from "The League of Gentlemen," which isn't set during wartime. Instead the film involves former army personnel who are deemed corrupt in some way or another who are brought together to lend their specific military expertise towards a foolproof bank heist plot. We consider the plan foolproof despite the group's ultimate downfall, and still count the job as a relative success (compared to most foiled heists in other movies) due to the very rare and circumstantial reason that they were caught.
5. Elliott Gould Takes Advantage of His Situation, in "The Silent Partner" (1978)
Pulling a job from the inside isn't always a good idea, but Elliott Gould shows us that it can work if the inside man isn't connected to the outside men in any way. He plays a teller who learns that his bank will be robbed, so he puts aside a whole bunch of money for himself knowing that it will just be lumped in with the real robber's take, as far as the bank and the police are concerned. Unfortunately, the real robber (Christopher Plummer) catches on to Gould's sneaky cut-in and threatens his life. "The Silent Partner" is apparently a remake of a 1969 Danish film with the English title "Think of a Number," so that film should get some credit for this clever plot.


text: This hairstyle was completed with absolutely no forethought or planning. All I knew was that I was going to be transitioning my daughter's hair out of some chunky box twists that were done in a rush two weeks ago (right when the batteries were dead in all of my cameras) into something a little more purposeful. Of course, I didn't figure out until I got to the end what exactly that "purposeful" look was going to be. The finished hairstyle is a combination of box twists and flat twists, gathered into a sort of French twist in the back.

What do you guys think? Got any info on this bad boy?
What do you guys think? Got any info on this bad boy?
You can have that down tube replaced if you want to.....
The Gipiemme DOs might hint that it could be a mid level frame. I would think that higher model frames usually had Campy DOs??
Good luck if you plan to repair and ride it.
Forgot to ask, what happened to the frame/rider(?) that it broke like that??
Why was the downtube cut like that? Me thinks in order to steal it if the lock holding it down was too much to cut through. $60 seems quite steep for a ruined frame, was it local as in you got to pick it up?
The real cost will be incurred duplicating the paint on the replaced downtube!
That is an interesting break. It's my understanding tubes usually only break like that if they've been overheated during the initial brazing process.
The paint is interesting, but I'm thinking about repainting anyway. Most important thing is that it's fixed and ridable. I wanted a Columbus frame that I could personalize and not feel guilty about repainting it.
I must add that the best thing about fixing that frame will be refinishing it. Not into the candle soot look. Neat frame. A worthy save.

The brake bridge and the pantograph work on the rest of the frame does look impressive though,...Maybe it's not mid level but at least 3/4 from the top of the line model?? Any evidence on the frame that might say it's built with Columbus SLX tubing? (Look for the "rifling" ribs in the tubes connected to the BB shell.) If it is SLX then it is high line model.
I once had a Medici frame down tube break just like that as I was riding it (no sudden impact). Steering just started feeling really wierd and when I checked it out I found that it had cracked all the way through. I rode it home cracked and retired the frame.
I'd agree that in general the Gipiemme DOs indicate a lower-than-SL tubing, but whether this one is lower, or what it has (Tre-tubi, all-Aelle, Aelle R, etc.) you'd have to find a catalog with the same frame spec'd. Obviously they didn't skimp on the lugs, the frame bits or the paint (and I'm surprised TSD was doing the smoked paint in the US, thought it was more of a Carlo Doseno thing)
That's a Ten Speed Drive painted Guerciotti. 1987-1988 ish. I worked for a local Guerciotti shop in that era. Smoked finish frames were very common. Limitless choices from TSD. Aelle tubing sticker would have been original.
That smoked effect was created by waving a torch back and forth over white paint, correct?
I am not sure exactly how the smoke effect was done. Two of our local racers managed to crack two different guerciotti frames of several seasons of use. My bike is Aelle tri tube.
Save the finish, it is a dead ringer for my 87 Guerciotti Strada made with TreTubi Aelle. I'd insert a photo, but WJ doesn't work that way.

Where's the most affordable place to get a stick of tubing? And which tubing, specifically, would I need?
I'm a fabricator at heart. Might as well try my own skill.

Baillie, C. P. and Chen, G. (2011) Energy, greenhouse gas emissions and irrigated agriculture. In: SEAg 2011: Diverse Challenges, Innovative Solutions, 29-30 Sep 2011, Gold Coast, Australia.
PDF (Documentation)
Download (7Mb)
On-farm energy efficiency is becoming a significant issue for highly mechanised irrigated agricultural industries due to rising energy costs and concern over greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Energy represents a major cost and one of the fastest growing input costs to primary producers. The Australian cotton growing industry is highly mechanised and heavily reliant on fossil fuels (electricity and diesel). Within highly mechanised farming systems such as those used within the cotton industry, machinery costs can represent 40 – 50% of the cotton farm input costs. Given the major dependence on machinery (direct energy inputs) and rising energy costs, energy use efficiency is an emerging issue for the Australian Cotton Industry.
Both previous and current work undertaken by the National Centre for Engineering in Agriculture (NCEA) is studying direct on farm energy use which involves a number of case study cotton farms to understand the contribution of direct energy use to cotton production and greenhouse gas emissions. The results from this work show that energy use varies depending on the cropping enterprise and the farming system and that there are significant opportunities to reduce energy and costs. In comparison the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from direct energy use can be similar and in fact greater than the GHGs generated by nitrogen based fertiliser.

Roseville race teams seek cool runnings in Sonoma
They sure look like the same cars — same No. 14 Office Depot Chevrolet driven by reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, same No. 88 Diet Mountain Dew Chevy shoed by Dale Earnhardt Jr., same No. 24 Rainbow Warrior driven by Northern California hero Jeff Gordon.
But they aren't. The stock cars that are arriving at Sonoma Raceway for this weekend's Toyota/Save Mart 350 aren't the cars fans saw last weekend in Michigan. And the cars that take on the road course in Sonoma won't be the same cars next weekend in Kentucky.
It's the same way this week at Bill McAnally Racing in Roseville, where cars driven by Eric Holmes and Cameron Hayley are being prepared for Saturday's NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Pick-N-Pull Racing to Stop Hunger 200.
Sonoma, formerly known as Infineon Raceway and, before that, Sears Point, is one of two road courses on the Sprint Cup circuit and one of four in Pro Series West this year. Sonoma has 11 turns over 1.99 miles and is unique even from the other road courses in that it has hills.
"It being a road course, we symmetrically set up the car; we try to square it up," McAnally said Monday at the shop.
There are changes in everything from the transmission and rear end to the suspension: different upper and lower A arms, a tight steering box so the driver gets a quick return coming out of the turns, the biggest brakes money can buy for a stock car, a big sway bar.
"I've driven a car that was way too under-sprung on a road course, and you're spending so much time rolling back and over and rebounding from the last corner you're not getting your car set up for the next one," McAnally said.
One of the most important changes to a road-course car is keeping it — and the driver — cool.
The brakes are used constantly. The transmission takes a beating with all the shifting, and so does the driver, who's doing all that shifting while cranking the wheel left and right.
"On a circle track, you just have it in fourth (gear)," McAnally said.
For the road course, the cars will have extra ducts and fans on the rear end, transmission, brakes and, yes, the drivers. Holmes and Hayley will have air conditioning units in their racers.
"It's important to get as much fresh air to everything to cool it off," McAnally said. "It's always a hot time (in Sonoma)."
McAnally to be inducted into West Coast Hall of Fame
Bill McAnally will be inducted into the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame during a ceremony Thursday night in Napa.
McAnally, owner of Bill McAnally Racing in Roseville and a former champion driver, will become the youngest living inductee.
BMR has 49 victories in NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, second all-time to Jack McCoy's 54. BMR's five series championships — three by Eric Holmes and one each by Brendan Gaughan and Sean Woodside — also is second to Ray Elder's six.
"It's going to be quite an honor," McAnally said.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hello I am a licensed attorney here to help you with your question, please review my response and do not hesitate to ask for clarification
When you file a bankruptcy either a chapter 7 or chapter 13, your income tax refund, could be taken by the trustee, unless it is exempted by State law,
Most cases, an attorney advises individuals to wait to file several months after their refund is given, as the trustee may not come after it at that point
could you please re-send the reply? Was not able to see your response
I realize the trustee will take my income check, what I do need to know is whether or not should me and my husband file married separate or married jointly. I believe my accountant feels we would receive a better tax return check if we file married jointly, so if I went that way and the tax return check is to b
BOTH OF US, THEN CAN THE TRUSTEE TAKE THE CHECK. My husband has nothing to do with my bankruptcy, he wasn't my husband when I file.
If you file a joint return, the trustee can only go after your part of the income tax refund,
however, in this case, it may be better to file married but separate so their is no issue,
If you are expecting a refund, it is often to your advantage to hold off on filing your bankruptcy petition until you have received the money. You can use the refund for legitimate purposes.
People filing a chapter 13 bankruptcy should expect to include their tax refund as part of their assets listed on their schedule of income, assets and debts. When you are repaying the debt, under an approved, supervised plan, you may be required to turn over the tax refund every year. To protect yourself, it is often the best strategy to readjust your tax withholdings from your paycheck in order to increase your monthly take-home amount, but receive a small refund to be turned over to the bankruptcy trustee.

Hey guys.
I've entered to race my first crit this Sunday. Tell you the truth, I'm nervous as hell...I'm in the unlicensed/cat 5 category...and have no idea what I'm up against.
I'm in good shape, I started racing duathlons (3 under my belt to date)...but that is a very different style. My crit is 25 laps of a 0.9km loop....sounds pretty hectic. Likely will be wet and has a corner nicknamed 'crash corner' (narrow and off camber). I have done some group riding so I'm not too nervous about that aspect...I'm concerned more about how to manage my fuel. Full throttle the entire time? How should I jockey for position...try to get up at the head of the pack asap or wait until a couple laps to go? Attack on the hill?
Anyone have any good strategies? How fast can I expect the race to be? 30-40km/hr range?...the fact any unlicensed rider can join should make it pretty interesting.

Leeham News has another post about A320 and 737 maintenance costs. This is based on Airbus response to earlier questions/posts.
The conclusion they make is:
Quote:Instead of focusing on the "sweat spot" for the NG, data of the entire reporting period must be compared
Comparing different fleet ages is not leading the sensible results
Market forces e.g. competition have an impact on maintenance cost
The A320 airframe is better maturing than the NG and improvements on the A320 are showing tangible results.
And then they have a graph showing a big advantage to 737 for the first years of service but at about 11 years the advantage changes to A320.
I don't have enough data,knowledge and experience to validate the conclusions they make. I definitely see the need to normalize for the different age but what about the rest? Do the numbers make sense?

Bowman Field Airport Area Safety Program
The Bowman Field Airport Area Safety Program has been designed to comply with new, more stringent FAA safety standards that are now in effect at Bowman Field to protect aircraft and surrounding neighborhoods and to minimize, as much as possible, the new standard's impact on our neighbors' trees.
Please note:
- There are NO current or future plans to add a runway or extend the two existing runways at Bowman Field.
- Complying with the FAA safety standards that are new to Bowman Field will NOT allow larger/heavier aircraft to use the airfield.
- These safety standards will NOT change the altitude at which aircraft arrive or depart Bowman Field; the standards simply provide an extra cushion of airspace for safety.
The program is being managed by Hanson Professional Services, Inc.
