We literally just got back from this property yesterday & I couldn't wait to write a review ... Finding a large rental home in the mountains with flat land around it is not easy ... but this home has that and more! Just enough flat or slightly rolling land to be able to stroll around the grounds with ease was wonderful! The landscaping is beautiful, the views from the great room & decks are second to none. Hearing Tweetsie in the distance! So cool! Our whole family was stargazing and was able to see an owl land in the top of a nearby tree ... just beautiful! Can't get moments like that on TV! Opening up the windows allowed for gentle cross breeze to flow through the home. One person actually took a nap and when he woke up he thought a fan had been blowing on him the whole time & it was the mountain breeze coming through the window!
When we first arrived, our 20 yr old son came into our room (master ... and walked into the closet (which is HUGE and could be a bedroom!) and it also opens to the bathroom and then back into the bedroom - he said- "Oh my gosh! I will just sleep in the closet!" .. Which he could have because it has a chaise lounge in it! That is how big it is!
Wide doorways, wide hallway, beautiful floors ... downstairs has an additional kitchen (which was very convenient when everyone was downstairs playing pool & ping pong.)
Comfy beds - I haven't slept that well in months!
Easy access to town, the parkway,Moses Cone Park, Trails - everything!
**** For the size of this home & the location (private yet very accessible to everything), the property surrounding the home, the rates are INCREDIBLY AFFORDABLE!! I almost found the COST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE - BUT it is TRUE!!
The home has all the modern amenities (wifi, televisions in every bedroom, den, downstairs) yet we barely watched TV because outside was much more entertaining!
Deborrah was incredible to work with! She provides you with every detail that you will need to enjoy your stay!
I could write so much more yet I am going to allow Deborrah to give out my email address to anyone who wants to know how great it is!!
If I could give 6 stars, I would !! : !!
This was a beautifully decorated house that truly allowed our family of 6 to spread out and yet spend quality time together. Our weather was lousy (foggy, warm and raining) but there were enough times to scoot out for short periods and enjoy the walks around the area, and there was plenty to do inside to keep us busy. Plenty of space and the outdoors was just amazing. The few times we had sunny clear weather, the view was amazing, I mean amazing. Host was helpful and quick to respond. Boone and Blowing Rock were only 10-15 minutes away which was fantastic. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat if it is still available next holiday!
My family had another great week-long visit earlier this year. Despite it being the middle of summer -- July -- Mountain Top Manor remained cool and pleasant. The home makes for a very comfortable launching pad for all the hiking we like to do along the Blue Ridge Parkway and nearby Grandfather Mountain. Deborrah is always a pleasure to work with. If I experience any issues with the home (rare) she is quick to get them resolved. The home is just a short ride to the Parkway, Blowing Rock, and Boone. We're planning on returning next summer.
We selected MTM for a lengthy family reunion/vacation based upon the very complete descriptions and photos provided on VRBO. Even so, we were pleasantly surprised upon arrival! Actually before then, we had frequent, timely and helpful communications with owner Deborrah.
The property was in very good shape, very clean, expansive lawns and landscaping well-maintained, and well-furnished and -equipped. When we did encounter very small and quite normal maintenance issues, the owners' representative was wonderfully responsive. Deborrah kept in touch throughout our sojourn and was genuinely interested to assure our good experience.
We knew the area (and its many activities and restaurants) but there was lots of information in the house to guide a new visitor. We were anxious to escape the summer heat of the flatlands, and boy did MTM meet that need. We noted July daytime highs of 68-70 degrees at our 4200-feet altitude, while our hometown was experiencing 90's.
The setting and convenience (so near Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock, Boone),the views, and the quality of the house are five-star; our only rationale to rate as four derives from the age of the home and a few not-yet-updated bathrooms, and some mattresses past their prime. Wish there was a 4.6.
We would definitely return, gladly.
My family recently rented Mountain Top Manor (MTM), the last week in July, 2012. We were familiar with the area because we had rented another nearby home two years prior. MTM is on the highest point of Aho Mountain, just a few miles northeast of Blowing Rock. It is a five minute drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and about 15 minutes from downtown Blowing Rock. The road leading to the house is entirely paved and a nice, easy drive.
MTM is a spacious, well-appointed home with comfortable beds and wonderful panoramic mountain views. The photos posted by the owners on VRBO are accurate. We found the home to be a welcome retreat after our days of hiking and shopping in the area. Sitting out on the deck as the sun set over the mountains was a treat.
During our week we saw a deer, a fox, and numerous rabbits on the expansive property. Although MTM is located in a neighborhood, it feels very secluded and private. There is no nearby house on the left or right of the property. No traffic noise could be heard, only an occasional whistle from the nearby Tweetsie Railroad – a welcome reminder of our earlier years visiting that children's attraction.
Despite warm summer temperatures in North Carolina in general, the weather in Blowing Rock was comfortable, never exceeding 75. MTM tended to be a few degrees cooler than Blowing Rock.
The large driveway and covered entrance made the unpacking and packing of our cars a breeze, regardless of the weather.
We prepared picnic lunches for most days, and fixed dinner most nights at MTM. A Food Lion is conveniently located about 10 minutes away. The kitchen is large and well-stocked.
Having rented many vacation homes in the past, I have to say that MTM represents the best value of any home I have rented. Deborrah was easy to work with, quick to answer any questions I had.
The day we departed MTM it had rained overnight. The skies were especially clear at dawn. There was a blanket of fog covering the low-lying areas down below. It looked to us as if we were looking out the window of an airplane. It was a magical experience I will not soon forget.
This house is absolutely beautiful with everything you'll need for 4 days, a week, or a month. This home is big enough for a large family. Two seperate areas, up and down. There was just my husband and myself, but we could have taken several people with us, and would not have been crowded. Already looking forward to a return visit. Wish the weather had been better, but we were able to enjoy two beautiful days. Views are terrific..........................!!!! I would highly recommend this property to anyone,.
The owners were so helpful. So if you're trying to decide, don't hesitate to rent this property.
Camp out on one of the decks ... Enjoy a picnic at one of the many picturesque overlooks ... sip warm cider with family & friends around a toasty fire ...

I love to crochet! I also enjoy knitting. I have done quite a bit of quilting as well, but most of my time is spend designing crochet projects these days :-)View all patterns by designer (47) »
I was hoping to make a nice pixie style hood with interesting stitches to add a nice flair to the style and design. It uses bobble stitches in the main body of the piece for great texture. Bpsc stitches are used to help create a nice border around the edges. Cords are used to fasten it and tassels add a nice finishing touch. Blocking is highly recommended for this pattern.

The Signal Glitch
Won't let me get the objective for killing 5 enemies with bear might. I accidentally missed it on my first playthrough, and had to replay the mission. Now it won't record it when I kill 5 of them. Please help. I've reloaded many times now, with no effect.
I had this problem... If there were explodable things on the ground the objective wouldn't pop up till I 'interacted' with them.
Soon as that happened the objective opened up but I died :D as I'd whittled down my health juping in the air on a barel when in wolf cloak :D
Reloaded a few more times, and the objective opened up as I spawned off the checkpoint reload and was able to get the 100% synch
Had me a bit confused for a while
Played it literally 10 times.. the final time, i ran up to the tower and did a bear might ... it should have destroyed the tower, but it didn't ... instead the objective popped and I was good to go! =)

Gunfire outside Waterbury bar brings charges
WATERBURY Police say a Waterbury Center man fired a gun into the air Sunday after a confrontation at a bar in downtown Waterbury.
John A. Baran, 42, was at the Prohibition Pig early Sunday when he was told to leave because he was making threatening comments to another customer. Police said Baran left and came back five minutes later and tried to get the other customer to go outside.
One of the workers at the Prohibition Pig went outside to talk to Baran, who then fired a round into the air with a pistol, police said. No one was injured.
Baran was cited on charges of disorderly conduct and reckless endangerment. He is scheduled to appear in Washington County criminal court in Barre on Nov. 21 to answer the charges.
Police said reports of someone being shot in the head and chest in Waterbury on Saturday night were inaccurate.MORE IN This Just InBERLIN Free trade talks between the European Union and the United States have failed, Germanys...

The next thing that Midas did was pur new shocks on the Suburban. They wore out in about 16 months. They offerred to replace them with the same ones but the labor was going to be over 150 dollars. The factory shocks lasted almost 70,000 miles. These only lasted 21,000 miles. Midas has to be the biggest scam artists out there. They do half assed jobs, put on cheap parts and when you try to get the warranty work done they always find a way to screw you our of more money.
I have sent a complaint to the corporate office and have given them three days to resolve this with a full refund for the shocks and labor. I am going to have to spend this money again to get the right shocks on my Suburban. If they don't I am going to register midas-sucks.com or midas-ripoff.com or something similar and post all complaints on the site.

Partial Settlement ..Midas wanted to charge me double for the same shocks
AUTHOR: Chris - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 29, 2003POSTED: Friday, August 29, 2003
I had to spend another $130.00 to get the right shocks for my surburban.
The shocks are Monroe and have a lifetime warranty.
Midas wanted to charge me double for the same shocks and they would do the labor for free or put the same crap back on there.
I bought good ones at O'Reily and they still did the labor for free. My suggestion is to anyone that can do the work to buy the parts and do it yourself.
Midas doubles the price from the parts house and shocks are not that big a deal.

Hi all,
I was trying to upload an image to Image Library but it was just not working. Everytime I tried to upload an image it seems fine but the image doesn't show, while previously uploaded images show its thumbnail on Media Library list, my recently uploaded image just show its name, when I click on it, the 'File URL' field tells this for example:
http://localhost:8888/wp_dev/livinwithin/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMAG0015.jpg but actually there's no /2012 on /uploads
I've tried both multi-file uploader & browser uploader, I've deactivated all plugins, I've tried on TwentyEleven theme, I've even checked 'Store uploads in this folder' field in Settings > Media & yes, it has pointed to wp-content/uploads directory, I also check my permission on the folder & it's already
drwxr-xr-x, so the uploader thing is supposed to be working right..?
fyi, my last working uploaded file was on 2011 so I don't have comparison between WP 3.4 & WP 3.3.2.
does anyone know how to fix this..? your help & suggestions are very appreciated, thank you in advance.. :)

is there any plugin/hack which you put on your site (in loop for example), so the visitors see information: "You are currently in: Visitors --> Readings --> How to..."? (it shows you the history of pages you went to the current page "How to..")
I have been looking for it so long.
Thanks for help!

It seems as though Obama's staff is so accustomed to trying to explain what Obama is saying, they forgot they work for Obama and not Bill Clinton.
As most folks know, Clinton has a tendency for the use of profanity now and then. I would imagine he was beside himself when someone who doesn't even work for him attempted to wordsmith his statement.
It would seem Obama's staff would have to work 24 hours a day explaining what Obama meant, and they surely would not have time to worry what Clinton meant to say. It really should not be a question. Clinton never had to have a staff dedicated to explain what he had said.
Like him or not, Clinton was very well-spoken and never had to restate a statement.

RBS creates task force to drive AMA standard
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has reportedly created an operational risk development programme (ORDP) as part of plans to raise its op risk function to meet Basel II advanced measurement approach (AMA) standards. Although RBS has no plans to seek regulatory approval to adopt an AMA, it is committed to upgrading its operational risk loss data collection, scenario analysis and other tools.

In personal computers, a partition is a logical division of a hard disk created so that you can have different operating systems on the same hard disk or to create the appearance of having separate hard drives for file management, multiple users, or other purposes. A partition is created when you format the hard disk. Typically, a one-partition hard disk is labelled the "C:" drive ("A:" and "B:" are typically reserved for diskette drives). A two-partition hard drive would typically contain "C:" and "D:" drives. (CD-ROM drives typically are assigned the last letter in whatever sequence of letters have been used as a result of hard disk formatting, or typically with a two-partition, the "E:" drive.)

When you boot an operating system into your computer, a critical part of the process is to give control to the first sector on your hard disk. It includes a partition table that defines how many partitions the hard disk is formatted into, the size of each, and the address where each partition begins. This sector also contains a program that reads in the boot sector for the operating system and gives it control so that the rest of the operating system can be loaded into random access memory.
Boot viruses can put the wrong information in the partition sector so that your operating system can't be located. For this reason, you should have a back-up version of your partition sector on a diskette known as a bootable floppy.

They will have you working for months without pay! Your first paycheck will be a check of 100$, in order to keep you baited.
I was told that customers would be receiving a 300$ credit if they switch from Verizon to Comcast which has completely false! We were also trained to tell customers that after 2 years they would be re-bundled back to a lower price, which was also false! Bundle prices go up after 2 years.
I was given multiple warnings by police officers for soliciting, but the branch manager said to me, "not to be afraid, they had everything under control". I was later arrested after my 3rd warning and the company told me they were going to pay for my fine. They fired me a week later from the company because I kept asking them to reinburse my bail out fine. Their excuse was, "sorry you didn't get enough sales for the week so we no longer needed your services".
I told the branch manager, "would you at least reinburse my bail out fine?", his response was "It is stated in the contract that you are a sub contractor, we are not responsible for your medical bills, transportation costs, food, and any other expenses".
This company has completely humiliated me as a person, and as a citizen of this country. All I want is for people not to be victims of this fraudulent company.

#1 UPDATE Employee
NU image fraud - it's not the sales rep
AUTHOR: Nu_image_is_fraud - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 08, 2013POSTED: Monday, April 08, 2013
I only work her because I need money. Once I get fired, because I will, because everyone does.... Eventually. But, anyway-this company is completely fraudulent. When it came to selling Comcast;, they literally train you to drive to the inner city, target the people who had their cable shut off for non pay and sign them up using a fake name and fake social. If you don't do it, Roofie (the gangster wanna be branch manager) will threaten to fire you for not making enough sales.
This is the training you get: "drive to the poor parts of town, walk around and just anyone and everyone "hey you got cable" and if they say "no" you say "$100 gets you cable Internet and phone" and if they say they can't get it due to previous shut offs, you say "don't worry, we'll sign you up under a different name social and phone number ... In fact, just give me your address and ill do the rest-il call you with the info I used" and most people will say "how much" tell them "nothing just pay your bill".
MIND YOU - Comcast is expecting $100-175 to be turned in.
I also know of 5 people who quit or were fired and who never got their $1000 retainers. Nu image ignores the multiple requests and if they do respond, they pop some bullshit out their a*s as to how nu image deserves to keep their money.
This company is a fu**cking joke

We also contacted the manufacturer because we wanted to get the car replaced for a working one for which we are paying so much for and they said we did not "qualify" for the lemon law! so they have made us take the car back to the dealers again and the car is still there as we speak! They are telling us that they "think" they know what the problem is but yet, the car is still not fixed. We have called and spoke to service managers, sales managers and even the manufacturer but to no help with our problem with THEIR car.
Every time we tell them it should be considered a lemon since it has the same problem numerous times and all they tell us is we need to talk to our attorney's which is NOT acceptable at all for customer satisfaction, because they are not honoring their warranty for the new car. All buyers beware as the manufacturer AND dealership makes it sound all good but WILL RIP YOU OFF and give you the runaround when a problem occurs! Trust as we have and are still experiencing this painful and frustrating experience. BEWARE!!!

DaimlerChrysler NOT selling lemons! Sounds like a bad mechanic
AUTHOR: Steven - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 15, 2004POSTED: Tuesday, June 15, 2004
Sounds like the dealership has a bad mechanic and is trying to cover it up. Contact the local District Attorney (i.e. criminal) and see what they can do. Maybe call the National Highway Transportation Saftey Administration (N.H.T.S.A.) at (202)366-4000 (sorry, no 1-800...) and see if any federal laws have been violated, or the vehicle declared a lemon by the Feds! Or else, take it to another Chrysler dealership. They will probably treat you better.
If you STILL have no luck, take it to an independant shop and have them call Gene's Chrysler at (907)452-7117 for assistance with your minivan. Here, there are 6 independants that honor factory warranties, in a city of 63,000. There has to be at least ONE there in Rosemead..
Alaska's lemon law is strict: 3 times, and it's a lemon. Period.

Music, singing shine in 'Phantom of the Opera' at Marcus Center
In any production of "The Phantom of the Opera," things first really kick into gear when Christine descends into the Phantom's lair, lured by that intoxicating voice that's already firmly lodged inside her mind.
It's still more thrilling — in the revamped and lavishly designed touring "Phantom" now at the Marcus Center — to watch Christine take that precarious, vertigo-inducing plunge along a series of seemingly free-floating stairs, which emerge one by one from a revolving, two-story turret. »Read Full Article

|Citación :
|Automated Experimentation 4(1): 1 (2012)
|Background: In order to tackle the important and challenging problem in proteomics of identifying known and new protein sequences using high-throughput methods, we propose a data-sharing platform that uses fully distributed P2P technologies to share specifications of peer-interaction protocols and service components. By using such a platform, information to be searched is no longer centralised in a few repositories but gathered from experiments in peer proteomics laboratories, which can subsequently be searched by fellow researchers. Methods: The system distributively runs a data-sharing protocol specified in the Lightweight Communication Calculus underlying the system through which researchers interact via message passing. For this, researchers interact with the system through particular components that link to database querying systems based on BLAST and/or OMSSA and GUI-based visualisation environments. We have tested the proposed platform with data drawn from preexisting MS/MS data reservoirs from the 2006 ABRF (Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities) test sample, which was extensively tested during the ABRF Proteomics Standards Research Group 2006 worldwide survey. In particular we have taken the data available from a subset of proteomics laboratories of Spain's National Institute for Proteomics, ProteoRed, a network for the coordination, integration and development of the Spanish proteomics facilities. Results and Discussion: We performed queries against nine databases including seven ProteoRed proteomics laboratories, the NCBI Swiss-Prot database and the local database of the CSIC/UAB Proteomics Laboratory. A detailed analysis of the results indicated the presence of a protein that was supported by other NCBI matches and highly scored matches in several proteomics labs. The analysis clearly indicated that the protein was a relatively high concentrated contaminant that could be present in the ABRF sample. This fact is evident from the information that could be derived from the proposed P2P proteomics system, however it is not straightforward to arrive to the same conclusion by conventional means as it is difficult to discard organic contamination of samples. The actual presence of this contaminant was only stated after the ABRF study of all the identifications reported by the laboratories.

The impressive Kranjcar put the visitors ahead in controversial fashion as QPR broke up field and opened their account on 26 minutes after referee Mike Dean had waved away a strong Millwall penalty appeal when Charlie Austin appeared to trip Liam Trotter.
Scott McDonald equalised after the break - the first league goal Rangers had conceded in nine matches - before Austin put QPR back ahead, only for Jermaine Easter to equalise at the death.
Bond said: "Niko Kranjcar is a magnificent footballer. He has got that top class quality, he can see things and he can execute things as you saw today, he was excellent.
"I don't know whether I was surprised. He has obviously worked with the manager before and was comfortable to come back and but we are delighted that he has come back. We are very pleased and lucky to have him."
QPR remain unbeaten in the Championship but lost ground on leaders Burnley and are now two points behind in second, albeit with a game in hand.
"I thought we should have won the game. We pretty much, from a possession point of view, controlled the game," added Bond.
"We were in charge. We didn't create as many chances for a side that had as much of the ball.
"They always carried a threat, they looked like they might get on the end of something but I thought we did well and went in front and we went in front again. We were still the better side but that is football."

How California Went From Top of the Class to the Bottom
California was once the world's leading economy. People came here even during the depression and in the recession after World War II. In bad times, California's economy provided a safe haven, hope, more opportunity than anywhere else. In good times, California was spectacular. Its economy was vibrant and growing. Opportunity was abundant. Housing was affordable. The state's schools, K through Ph.D., were the envy of the world. A family could thrive for generations. read more »
The Decade of the South: The New State Population Estimates

What Happens When California Defaults?
The California Legislative Analyst's Office recently reported that the State faces a $21 billion shortfall in the current as well as the next fiscal year. That's a problem, a really big problem.

Capping Emissions, Trading On The Future
Whatever the results of the Copenhagen conference on climate change, one thing is for sure: Draconian reductions on carbon emissions will be tacitly accepted by the most developed economies and sloughed off by many developing ones. In essence, emerging economies get to cut their "carbon" intensity--a natural product of their economic evolution--while we get to cut our throats.
The logic behind this prediction goes something like this. Since the West created the industrial revolution and the greenhouse gases that supposedly caused this "crisis," it's our obligation to take much of the burden for cleaning them up. read more »

California: The Housing Bubble Returns?
To read the periodic house price reports out of California, it would be easy to form the impression that house prices are continuing to decline. Most press reports highlight the fact that house prices are lower this year than they were at the same time last year. This masks the reality of robust house price increases that have been underway for nearly half a year. The state may have forfeited seven years of artificially induced house price escalation in just two years but has recovered about one-fifth of it since March. read more »
Boomer Economy Stunting Growth in Northern California
The road north across the Golden Gate leads to some of the prettiest counties in North America. Yet behind the lovely rolling hills, wineries, ranches and picturesque once-rural towns lies a demographic time bomb that neither political party is ready to address.
Paradise is having a problem with the evolving economy. A generational conflict is brewing, pitting the interests and predilections of well-heeled boomers against a growing, predominately Latino working class. And neither the emerging "progressive" politics nor laissez-faire conservatism is offering much in the way of a solution. read more »
Reducing Carbon Should Not Distort Regional Economies
A pending bill in Congress to reduce carbon emissions via a "cap and trade" regime would have significant distorting effects on America's regional economies. This is because the cost of compliance varies widely from region to region and metro to metro. This is all the more important since such legislation may do very little to reduce overall carbon emission according to two of the EPA's own San Francisco lawyers. read more »

Surprising Luxury and Good Performance
Over the water the Tahoe Sierra Elite 24 is a model of serenity and comfort. The ride is smooth and undramatic, just right for cruising the bays, lakes and bayous of your favorite watering spots.
The Unique Feel of Luxury
By Captain Keith Burton
Selecting a comfortable, even luxurious pontoon boat among the myriad of choices on the market is made a lot easier when the manufacturer has an ear for its customers. Such is the case with the Tahoe Sierra Elite 24. The engineers at Tahoe were clearly listening when they designed this richly-featured pontoon.
Starting with its built-in recessed docking lights, this boat impresses right away with its sturdy design and quality materials. Looking closer, you will see that a real concern for fit and finish was at the top of the list. A strong 4-inch rub rail will keep the dock at bay as well as the sturdy cast aluminum bumpers at the corners.
Bow Features
On board, this 24-foot long, 8-foot, six-inch beam boat is positively expansive. We like the way the designers curved the two bow bench seats toward the forward entry door, it is an elegant touch that many other pontoon boats miss. A small table is included that is easy to install and remove.
As you would expect in a pontoon boat, storage under the seats in plentiful. What is unusual is that Tahoe uses sturdy and durable aluminum to frame the seats, there is no wood or plastic used. We also like the extra thought that went into the storage compartments under the seat backrests. For example, on the starboard side, a built-in trash bin with its own push-button lid is included.
While we are on the subject of the seats, Tahoe uses a special soft high-grade vinyl and multi-density foam for their seating materials, which keep their shape after compression and will last longer than materials used on many other brands of pontoon boats. Getting aboard amidships is also made easy with large port and starboard access doors.
At the Controls
The helm is attractively designed and laid out and features elegant black on cream-colored gauges with gold bezels set in a burlwood-like dash. Centrally located is a built-in GPS fishfinder. Lighted rocker switches control auxiliary electrics and a Clarion CD player radio is close at hand just to the left of the steering wheel. The steering wheel tilts so getting it in a comfortable position is a no-brainer.
A foldout cupholder is just to the left of the helm and the fire extinguisher is just below the throttle.
Just forward of the helm is a small entertainment area with a freshwater faucet and sink. Below that are two storage compartments. One is small and ideal for storing a wallet and personal items, and below that, a larger compartment is big enough for a small cooler. Also on the console is a convenient deck light.
Surprising Luxury
The rear seating area features an L-shaped bench seat with storage below in both the side and rear sections. Tahoe's designers didn't forget the cupholders as they are almost everywhere onboard. At the port corner of the bench seat is the GPS antenna.
Now something that you would not expect on a pontoon boat is located within a compartment under on the port side of the bench seat. Try this, a built-in wine cabinet.
Located under the padded cover is a rack that holds four wine glasses and below that a holder for four bottles of wine, and even an ice bucket. How's that for a luxury touch? Imagine the smiles of your guests when you open up that compartment for the first time.
At the stern is a large sun pad big enough for two people, which opens on hydraulic struts to reveal a canvas changing room for that occasional need for some onboard privacy. The changing room is big enough to handle a portable toilet if so desired. And at the stern is a boarding ladder with plenty of room to get onboard.
Over the water the Tahoe Sierra Elite 24 is a model of serenity and comfort. The ride is smooth and undramatic, just right for cruising the bays, lakes and bayous of your favorite watering spots.
Equipped with a smooth and quiet 60 hp Mercury EFI Big Foot 4-stroke outboard, we saw a top speed of 18.8 mph and a cruise range of 250 miles at an economical speed of 8.8 mph. While this is not a fast boat, it is perfect for most occasions when just being on the water is what you enjoy.
Overall, the Tahoe Sierra Elite 24 offers a wealth of amenities, a lot of room for your family and friends and some truly luxurious features that are not found on other pontoon boats.

Lightening struck TWICE ... 5-2 ,,,,, 5-2
Bow to pressure from who? The trash rags? The fans? Isn't one of the oft quoted failings of AVB that he's so arrogant he refuses to change his beliefs and systems for anyone?
I don't think it's anything as schoolboy as either of those reasons; I think it was a different game and he played it on it's individual merits. I think he knows Ade tend to perform against his ex-clubs and Dempsey hasn't been doing that well recently, so dropped one, brought the other in, and played the formation to suit the players playing. I think he also knows that the atmosphere of the derby means it will instinctively be more attacking than a 'normal' game, so suits an additional forward - I don't think any of this is unexpected.
I couldn't watch the first 25 mins so followed on the BBC's min by min, interestingly (I think, anyway...) it sounded on that like Hudd was in the middle of a lot of the key plays, but when I arrived the people watching the match hadn't really noticed it. I'm not sure why that might be - there are certain players I think can be overlooked/not noticed when they're doing a good job, but you can't really miss Hudd's hair, and he's not a player like Bale who the mbm-ers seem to big up unless he's having an absolute stinker, it's bizarre.
I accept AVB went too far with his post-match comments - if we ship 5 goals when we're "in control" I dread to think what happens when we're not! - but I took the majority to mean that we really went for it and we *could* have had a different result on another day yada yada yada, not we deserved the win - as I said, if the Bale effort had gone in (apparently it was about 70 mins not 60 as I said before) it would have been a different game, I reckon we'd have at least got the draw. And what point would there have been in vilifying Adebayor? He made a silly mistake, it clearly wasn't intentional and he clearly instantly regretted it, what's the point in him rubbing salt in the wound? Is that going to build a team spirit or keep a confidence striker in form?
Yeah, it's a lousy final score, but I really don't see how the manager can be blamed for that. Adebayor aside, I also think it's pretty difficult to single any player out of criticism, there were some mistakes made by most players - for example, Vertongen generally had a great game, but pretty sure (my memory's hazy now) he made a mistake which led to one of the Arsenal goals. I'm not going to jump on him for that as he was generally brilliant, but it happened and that's not down to AVB or any of the players who seem to have been singled out as whipping boys.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I tend to agree, Ade has been fit to start 3 matches so far this season, and started 2 with Daffy, so as AVB has stated, he will use both options of playing the two, or one up front depending on the opposition. Some people need to look at the fact Ade hadnt played since the end of last season, and then got injured, so I dont understand where their coming from, when they say we should play with two up front. Dempsey is pretty much the same in that he didnt get much pre-season in at Fulham, so besides the fact he is playing out of position trying to fill the one behind the striker, he hasnt looked up to speed and match fit so far IMO. Apart from the Wigan game where we were absolutely rubbish from the start, I can see reasons for how we have played and the substitutions made in certain games, that havent worked out, but done with an aim.
AVB's comments sounded like the ravings of a lunatic, but like a lot of " foreigners " trying to put things in an english context, it was probably meant that we were in control at the start, and in the second half, it could be argued that we were the most offensive side, with Arsenal content to just keep the ball and hit us on the break, which they did twice, but by doing so in reallity, they controlled the game once they went 3-1 up.
Pressure from anywhere! The fans, papers or maybe the board - thats not the point. The point is that he played two up front after much talk ( in lots of places) that we weren't going to win games with one striker. Don't get me wrong, I am gald he went with two strikers, but my point was - why?
If Adebyor has been injured for so long, as some people keep saying, although I am not sure I have ever heard AVB or Adebyor say it, why is it that the papers were reporting that Adebyor was not happy about being left out of the side? Surely if he was injured he would know why.
Aprt from the Gallas over Dawson and Hudd over anybody questions, I am happy that he tried this style of play - did he do it out of choice tho?
AVB saying Adebyor has nothing to apologise for says to every other player "if you get sent off for a reckless tackle don't worry about it" which is so wrong on so many levels. I do feel a bit sorry for AVB as we had a real chance of beating Ar$e away and that would have been a real coup for him but at the end of the season the record book will say Ar$e whooped us 5 - 2.
When Whinger heard what AVB had said about us controlling the game I bet he could hardly stop himself from laughing as most independent people were doing. If he wants to be taken seriously he should know that sort of silly talk is going to have the opposite effect. It just gives the doubters, like me, more reason to think we are right.
The style of play and some of the sub decisions AVB has made so far has done nothing to make me think he is the man for us. Quite the opposite. But we shall see won't we. If he proves me wrong then we will have had a great season and I will gladly eat humble pie. On the other hand I will take no pleasure in being right as that would mean we are somewhere in the PL I do not want to see us.

i agree sfer. lets hope avb proves us both wrong.
id love that!
as u say, im not going off just results. im looking at the long term. i just cant see him taking us far. he doesnt seem to have a long term plan anyway.
its all chaotic, flakey, make it up as u go along, 360 u-turns & illogical.
the scary thing is we are quite lucky to have as many pts as we do!

And to be clear, I am referring exclusively to the team and management's performance in this match - I wanted to consider it in isolation as fans opinions are so divided at the moment that I think a lot of opinions of matches etc are being formed by pre-held opinions (generally, not just on this board), so I wanted to think about just this match.
Actually, I said I couldn't single any players out, but does anyone know what role Lennon was meant to be playing in the second half? We presumed wing back, but (at least for the second half of the second half) he seemed to be AWOL - at one point I watched him exclusively and he seemed to be hanging around pretty near the back, but not really getting involved or defending. It almost looked lopsided, with Bale playing more of a winger role and Lennon playing RB - do you think that was intentional to try & cover Podolski and Cazorla?

I know I posted this already, but I put it in the wrong place and wasn't sure if it would be seen.
This plugin won't email all users when I use the admin>email options> and send an email. I noticed in the settings, it says my server time is the UTC time, not the actual time zone set on the server, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I also noticed that when I go to change my email settings and hit save, a blank page appears.
Not sure if this is related, but I have the group management plugin installed as well, and it says all my users are set to No Email, even though they are set correctly in their profiles.

It was a very nice place. Good / clean hotel room. Awesome pool, Bar next to the pool. Staff was friendly. Pretty good, free breakfast. Nice view from the hotel.
Staff didn't speak English very well, you need to take a bus or taxi to a clean beach.
Good breakfast, clean room and nice location.
Limited knowledge of communications in English - English is my second language but staff your reception with staff that could understand English also. I forgot my fisher's jacket in the Restaurant after my dinner and could not get it back - difficult to feel unsecure. Train your staff to be business oriented and be professional.
Meme was amazing, she was so helpful, and knew so much about the island. Plus she had great tips and connections to make sure we got the most out of our stay. The location is amazing! Literally on the beach, beautiful views, not smack bang in the middle of town, but a short 5 min walk to restaurants.
Great location, friendly staff, super clean and comfortable
Having to leave...
Great location by the sea, rooms were quiet comfortable and the food in the restaurant was delicious
The beach and the natural environment.
The food. Facilities and service are not 5 star as advertised.
very nice house, small and like at home, swimming pool exceptional
This guest house is in a beautiful, tranquil location in a private yachting community on Brazil's Costa Verde. The guest house is comfortable and the owners' welcoming. They have a beautiful swimming pool overlooking a canal where yachts and cruisers are moored. The food, particularly breakfasts are good - fresh patisserie, fruit, freshly squeezed juice, eggs are prepared for you.
The location is difficult to find if you are travelling independently. It took us much asking (in Portuguese) to locate the guest house. Visitors should note that the guest house is actually called 'Evelyn', the name of one of the owners. It's in a very quiet location - great if you want to chill, swim & sun bathe, but wouldn't suit people looking for nightlife, things to do. Please also note it's about an hour's drive to Paraty.
Staff were quite ready to assist in every way, and the recreation team was an excellent one.
The food, although good looking and in a good variety, did not taste up to expectations.
You don't have to worry about where you're going to eat and it was not to croud.
Not many options for adults.
the location near the city center
Marcello the manager
breakfast was poor
By the beach. Cute room. Free internett access. Nice people.
Mould, bedbugs, noisy, not helpful personel, bad breakfast.

After playing phone tree roulette, I finally got to a customer service rep, and explained that I wanted to cancel, and asked if any thing was required my part. "Frank" explained that it is their practice to automatically convert contracts to month-to-month memberships. I explained that there was NOTHING in the contract stating this. He said if I wanted to cancel I would need to send a written request - to their EFT department. I am sending a letter today, certified mail, and placing a stop payment with my bank. I explained to Frank that they are intentionally misleading consumers. Of course, that didn't stop him from trying to convince me to continue my membership.
BEWARE of this company - not only are their gyms gross, but they intentionally make their contracts vague and will bill a consumer when they have not legal right to do so.

Doug McKelway reports from Washington, D.C.
Dana: Well, Hillary, welcome to the media that doesn't always support you. I would not be surprised if the AP report was completely accurate. So she met with world leaders 1700 times....and accomplished what? Nothing of note. I think she helped out civil rights in Burhma. That is about it. Judging by how much time she spent as SOS and what she actually accomplished, I would think a whole lot of time was spent on the Clinton Foundation. John Kerry, like him or not, which I dont, has accomplished far more.
