Scout loves
- Great facilities – including 10 outdoor hot tubs
- Some condos have private hot tubs and fire pits!
- Après ski parties happen every Friday evening during winter.
- The on-site spa facilities are great for post-ski massages.
- Ski storage is available right next to your condo. If you have your own skis you can also store them at a mountain ski shop by arrangement with the front desk.
Scout tips
- The three buildings that make up the Platinum Collection are Aspen Lodge, Emerald Lodge and Bear Lodge. If you are after a more budget collection you may want to consider Trappeur's Crossing Resort & Spa which includes the property's "gold" collection of condos.
- There's a regular ski shuttle running on a loop. The shuttle also makes on call trips downtown.
- Condos are individually furnished by owners and will vary from condo to condo.
- Almost all of the condos have their own fireplace, balcony and washer/dryer. (Note: condos in the Trappeur's Lodge building do not have laundry facilities).
- A daily resort fee is charged by the hotel and is included in the taxes and fees section on Scout checkout.
Trappeur's Crossing is a huge condo complex located near the Steamboat ski resort base area. It comprises six buildings that are nestled among snowy gardens, with pools and hot tubs scattered throughout the grounds. The newer condos are classified as 'Platinum' and comprise of Aspen Lodge, Emerald Lodge and Bear Lodge.
The Platinum Collection condos have high ceilings, are bigger and the facilities are of high quality (granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, HDTVs etc.). Some of the ground floor condos have patios and a few even have their own private hot tubs and/or fire pits so you can sit out under the stars. All of the condos have a fire place, washer/dryer and balcony.
Kids will love the indoor/outdoor pool in the amenities center plus all the pools in the surrounding courtyards – each day there'll be a new pool to discover, as there are four in total. Meanwhile, parents will love the on-site spa as well as the Friday apres night, providing the opportunity to mix and mingle with other guests.
For those seeking a little luxury to their Steamboat ski vacation, the Platinum Collection at Trappeur's Crossing is a perfect lodging option.
Who should stay here
Platinum Collection at Trappeur's Crossing would suit families who want space and higher end finishes. There's plenty of room for entertaining a large group.
Situated two long blocks from the main ski village base, Trappeur's Crossing is just that little bit far to walk in the winter months. However, a regular shuttle bus runs on a loop for skiers, and is also on call for those wanting to venture further afield to downtown areas.
- Hotel shuttle provided
About Steamboat Springs
Steamboat is located in northwestern Colorado about a 4-hour drive from Denver. Don't let the more isolated location turn you off – it works in its favor since it creates a town with a unique character, away from the weekend hoards that flock to resorts closer to Denver. And with endless intermediate terrain, tons of extra activities, and a fantastic après scene, Steamboat makes a great choice.

In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.

St. Joseph's Church, Kingsbridge
Saturday May 13, 2005
9:00 a.m. to Noon
There was broad representation at the meeting with 16 different member beach associations or groups attending. As well Council was represented by Ben van Diepenbeek (Reeve) and Marilyn Miltenburg (Councilor, Ashfield Ward).
A moment of silence was observed in memory of Geoff Walker who was a founding member of the Ashfield Lakefront Association before it became ACLA. Geoff was a strong environmental advocate and promoted and helped with the current stream testing program.
The financial statement for the past year, prepared by our treasurer Carolyn Carter, was approved. Member association contributions, which are our primary source of revenue, remained strong with 16 associations contributing. There were also several personal donations as well as a $1500.00 contribution from ACW Council.
Administrative costs were very low with all almost all of our revenue being directed to the stream testing program. We have a healthy working balance on hand, which permits us to proceed with confidence with the 2005 stream testing program.
The fees for 2005 remain at $10 per year per member in each association. Fees can be sent directly to our treasurer:Carolyn Carter
OrAshfield Colborne Lakefront Association
Spending decisions for the coming year were approved as follows:
Copies of the Huron County Health Unit beach water quality monitoring program were distributed at the meeting. HCHU encountered a number of delays getting the report issued.
Results vary along the Lake. Generally E.Coli levels were up in 2004 vs. 2003 at all locations. Ashfield Beach will be posted as "unsafe" for swimming for the 2005 season. Amberley Beach results were also very poor. On the other hand Sunset Beach continues to show very good results, although there were a couple of spikes in early and mid July. We continue to wonder why the HCHU cannot simply post the test results weekly on their website as they did until a couple of years ago. (Note: Their reasoning is complex and not without some validity. For information on this issue please consult the HCHU website or phone 519-482-3416.
Water quality guidelines require action to ensure that beaches near urban areas should be open 95% of the time. Why can this not be expanded to rural beaches?
The "Blue Flag" program was briefly discussed. This program is based on international standards which certifies beaches safe for swimming if they meet the standard 80-85% of the time. Five beaches in Toronto qualify and Sauble Beach is applying for certification. Based on the HCHU results, our beaches (such as Ashfield, Amberley, Port Albert, and Goderich Main Beach) would not qualify.
Environment Canada has been conducting studies along several beaches in the Province, including Amberley Beach. Samples were taken in deeper water off-shore and showed low E. Coli levels. In the shallow waters adjacent to the beach, samples showed E.Coli levels consistent with HCHU beach-water-quality findings. Most surprising, however, was that core samples in the sand several yards in from the water's edge showed high levels of E.Coli. Then, further in, E.Coli levels dropped off again. The speculation is that E.Coli thrives in the sandy beach environment closer to the water's edge.
Mike McElhone distributed copies of the 2004 Stream Testing Results prepared by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (will be posted on our website soon). This is our fourth year of stream testing and our cooperative arrangement with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. We have been told that our test results are an important part of the data base the MVCA is accumulating in regard to water quality. Key findings include:
Mike also distributed a list of local and provincial contacts to whom he had sent the stream testing results to ensure that our stream testing results have continuing impact.
As of this writing (end of June) our website www.northwesthuron.com has a new look. If you have not visited the site recently, please do so. You will find it informative, easy to navigate and most of all it loads quickly for those of you without high-speed internet connections. Our thanks go to Roger Watt for the terrific work he has done on the site.
Goderich will receive a grant of $1.5 million which allow the town to complete the separation of storm and sanitary sewer and, most important, to upgrade the sewage treatment plant to eliminate the release of occasional partially treated sewage into the Lake during periods of heavy rainfall.
The regulations in Nutrient Management Act have undergone a major revision. These revisions have received strong endorsement from farming organizations. For details please see the news release and backgrounder.
Several individuals from ACLA member associations have volunteered to assist the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation in collecting various information on lakeshore conditions, such as wave action, wind direction, beach debris, weather, precipitation, water clarity and air and water temperature.
A septic system re-inspection pilot program will be conducted this summer under the direction of the Huron County Health Unit. Based on a risk assessment analysis six communities in 4 municipalities have been chosen:
|Amberley Beach, Port Albert
|Central Huron:
|Bluewater Beach, Blacks Point
|St. Joseph's Shore 1 and 2
|Huron East:
An Information session will be held in July for the property owners who will take part in this program.
There are an estimated 14,000 septic systems in Huron County and it has been estimated that 50% will need some form of repair (from pump out to full replacement). It is hoped that the experience gained with the pilot program will facilitate a county wide re-inspection program which will then serve as a model for province wide re-inspections.
ACLA has consistently called for septic system re-inspections for the past three years. It seems that our efforts are finally bearing fruit.
There was strong interest for a summer information meeting such as was held last year in Goderich, which was organized by the Friends of the Bayfield River with assistance from ACLA. A focus on alternative septic systems was suggested. A number of attendees offered to show their newer systems as on-site working examples.
We understand that 22 wind turbines will be erected this year by Epcor in ACW Township. Epcor has also bought Port Albert Wind Farms (which owns the existing turbine near Port Albert) and with it, according to newspaper reports, 12,000 acres of land leases in ACW which could possibly result in another 150 turbines being built in the future.
While the 22 turbines being constructed this year are all located east of Highway 21 it is reasonable to assume that some future turbines will be located west of the highway.
2005 Taxes will increase by $120 for each $100,000 of assessment. The main reason for this increase is the 17% increase in the county portion of our taxes which now is 46% of the total tax. The other two components are 30% for the township and 20% for education.
For 2005, property assessments have been frozen at 2004 levels as the province shifts from a June 1 cutoff date to January 1.
Roads maintained by lakeshore associations were discussed. Currently the lakeshore property owners pay a hefty portion of property taxes (appr. 50%) of the total township budget. In ACW, some lakeshore association fund the entire maintenance of the un-assumed roads leading to the lake. However, Bluewater Township (to the south of Goderich), when faced with a similar situation, has provided some funding to the associations. Some members expressed interest in forming a team to organize a brief to council. If a group has a strong interest in initiating this effort, please send us email. Your email will be distributed to the ACLA Communications Coordinators to find associations with a similar interest. This could be a difficult sell to ACW Council, but if successful would provide an annual benefit to some ACLA member associations. Reeve Ben Van Diepenbeek agreed that roads-inventory information could be made available by Roads Superintendent Kevin Cook.
The next annual spring ACLA Business and Information meeting is scheduled for Saturday May 13, 2006, in the basement of St. Joseph's Church, Kingsbridge.
Note: The Steering Committee will meet Saturday April 29 at a location yet to be determined.
ACLA's stream-testing program and associated promotion has got attention at the local, provincial, and federal level and has helped focus attention on water quality on Lake Huron beaches, and specifically on Huron County. The stream-test data has been acknowledged to have a high level of integrity and is an important piece of the overall water-quality information.
Another example of ACLA's effectiveness has been that ACLA has been the catalyst for the implementation and acceptance of a septic system re-inspection program in Huron County.
ACLA volunteers are helping to collect information for the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation to better understand the many factors that affect our beaches.
Finally, ACLA provides member associations with information that helps them to be more aware and to shape those things that might impact us now or in the future.

We showed up as the first team of tuggers was starting. There is a long line that stretches across the harbor and about 30 people on either side tugging and pulling. There are three or four rounds and finally someone is announced the winner. Ironically, this year the tug-of-war was officially declared a tie. Anyway, there was a great band playing, lots of beer flowing, and plenty of oysters to eat. All and all; a great first week in town. I have to say, I couldn't ask for a better first week in a town. I am looking forward to many more great times here in the Chesapeake...and lots more oysters to eat.
|Bushels of oysters
|View across the harbor. The line goes the whole way from here to the other side of the harbor.
|30 people to a pulling team.
|The Eastport Oyster Boys
EDIT: I heard later that Annapolis was declared the official winner so they must have had a tie breaker or something that we missed. Either way, just wanted to clarify that I have no idea who actually won or if it even matters...

I got started on my family history as a result of being given a large amount of information that my grandad's cousin John Holmes of Monasterevin had put together relating to the Co Laois Holmes family. This inspired me to follow it up and further information and assistance came through Richard Holmes of Australia and various Holmes he is in contact with on the web including a distant cousin Dianne Friden in California.
My own research gave me some information on the Zimber story but it was another distant cousin Martin Zimber from Canada who gave me the vital information connecting to the "Schwarzwald". Further Information relating to the Black Forest families came from Paul Dold and Jürgen Sterk.
Of course as interesting as all this is, there are still many other stories to be told when you look at the list of names below, so I'm really just started on this journey. The advent of the internet over the recent years has made my contacts with all these people possible. So this site is my effort to make contact with others and share the information I have.
I'm descended from people called Holmes (Laois), Kirwan (Dublin), O'Flaherty (Waterford), Nagle (Tipperary), Zimber (Baden-Württemberg), Kavanagh, Reale, Larkin, Lee, Long, Mannion (Galway), Ashmore, Quinn, Courneen, Arthurs and Barley.
And on Helen's side the names are Kelly (Laois), McCarthy (Cork), Sheedy, Cronin and Dineen.
The full database is found here.

The Fascinating hardware is very well thought out and it is of very high quality; plastic that will last, anodized aluminum and stainless steel hardware. It was the best I have found and yet, the least inexpensive by far. Fascinating is unique in that it offers the hardware in kit form.
Note. Fascinating also offers humidity and temperature sensors. These are not compatible with the WX #175 kit.
The rotating assembly provides a magnet (or magnets) which open and close a fixed reed relay. The reed relay thus provides dry closures at a rate which is proportional to the wind speed. This might be interfaced with the WX #175 counter input as illustrated in Figure #7 of the WX #175 Assembly Documentation. Reed relays tend to bounce when switched and thus a debounce filter consisting of a series 10K resistor and a shunt capacitor is necessary to eliminate multiple counts. I include a 10K resistor and a 0.1 uFd capacitor wit the WX #175 kit.
Fascinating indicates the wind speed in miles per hour is the number of counts in 1.5 seconds. Thus, you might use the command "C3" so as to measure the number of counts over a three second period and then divide the result by two.
Wind Vane
See Figure #9 of the WX #175 Assembly Documentation.
Fascinating uses a special dual wiper 5K Ohm potentiometer with a single shaft with no stops. The wiper area of the potentiometer is 270 degrees leaving 90 degrees of "dead zone" where the wiper is open. However, the two wipers are oriented at 90 degrees relative to one another. Thus, when one wiper is in the dead zone (ADC reading near zero), the value of the second wiper may be used. Thus, with one wiper connected to WX #175 input ANALOG 1 and the other to ANALOG 2, ADC measurements may be performed using the "A1" and "A2" commands. .
The angles of the two wipers may be calculated as;
angle_1 = adval_1 / 4096.0 * 270.0 angle_2 = adval_2 / 4096.0 * 270.0 + 90.0
Thus, the relative angle is calculated as;if (angle_1 > 10.0) { relative_angle = angle_1; } else { relative_angle = angle_2; }
I used to have many of these special potentiometers laying around, but they have been used in various student projects and of this writing, I do not have a unit to test. Thus, whether that is plus 90.0 or minus 90.0 degrees is a guess. However, it is easy enough to try a plus 90.0 and if it is incorrect, correct my error and modify this to minus 90.0.
Note that this is a relative angle.
I have been married for 35 years and the most serious strains have been when I was up on the roof or a ham radio tower tweaking a capacitor asking my wife for a SWR or noise bridge reading. It can sure ruin a nice Sunday with what starts as communicating shouts quickly lead to rather angry shouts.
Preserve your marriage. Simply mount the wind vane and then add whatever fudge is required;absolute_angle = relative_angle + fudge;This may well mean that some angles are 360 degrees or greater. This can be easily corrected;if (absolute_angle => 360.0) { absolute_angle = absolute_angle - 360.0; }

Provocative questions by webmaster
Question: Were you treated in a mental hospital?
Answer : No.
Q: Are you a sectarian?
A : No.
Q: Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence?
A : No.
Q: Are you an addict?
A : No.
Q: Do you already consider yourself as "progress foster"?
A : No.
Q: Do you smoke or consume alcohol?
A : No, starting from my childhood, no. It is terrible how people draw smoke into their lungs, it is terrible, they cough after that. In general, it is strange that so many of them smoke. After all cigarettes and alcohol is nothing else but legal drugs, according to D.Lynch. Surprisingly, the majority of human beings, who consider themselves "progress fosters" -- that is journalists, scientists and artists -- they all tend to use these drugs. If you already consider yourself as belonging to such, then refuse that what doesn't make you belong to such.
Q: Are you a vegetarian?
A: Yes. I have returned to the vegetarianism in 2008. I was distracted off it in 1996 under psychological pressure from the outside.
Q: How do you match the spiritual practices and creation work?
A: It's all very simple. When I listen to pop music, I hear that it has a tendency to capture you. It is all human nature - tendency to pop alcohol, pop women, etc. But since this descent is temporary descent into the a realm of false joys... When I realized this, I refused the previous direction. I do not want to be a straggler. The future depends on subtle sensitivity.
Q: Are you married?
A : No.
Q: What is the music?
A : Everybody knows what it is.
I would also like to remind you a monk that moped the yard and the pebble from under his mop hit the bamboo.
Q: What is the Buddha?
A: Everything that is around you.
Q: Who among your acquaintances is Buddha ?
A: What is the Buddha ?
Q: Thank you for the interview.
(Page created ~1998, except the answer about vegetarianism)

Wearing a pair of flip-flops and knee-length loose pants, Chea Voeurn uses a hoe to lift a tiny leech from a small shallow lake surrounded by dry, cracking land.
The wriggling creatures were once abundant in Potireak Lake during the rainy season (May to October). However, this year Tamao Village in Prey Veng Province, which is known for breeding leeches to use for medical purposes, has been finding times tough due to the lack of rainfall in Baphnom District, about 78km east of Phnom Penh.
According to the 45-year-old leech catcher, in the past the lake was very deep and would hold water throughout the year. In the past the lakeside was full of water plants where the bloodsucking creatures live.
But the plants were harvested for other uses, so the lake now has less leeches.
Voeurn is worried climate change will permanently hurt his income. At the moment he's not earning at all.
"The leeches can survive in the soil and then move to the lake when the rainfall fills it, but this year I might have to wait until November or December when the temperature is less warm and there is cool breeze," he says.
Leeches, which are one of the scary creepy crawlies that make local people dread adventures in remote areas, have been historically used in medicine to remove blood for detox or disinfection in ancient India and Greece, before the practice spread to Europe and North America.
They are still used in modern medicine, particularly in aesthetic surgery as well as treating osteoarthritis. The Chinese market is particularly big.
Another leech catcher, Oum Mao, said there are usually two catching seasons a year, first during the rainy season and the second at the end of the year.
The 50-year-old farmer said that in his village there are about 10 families who catch leeches.
Oum Mao earns extra income from selling leeches on top of farming and he complained that the wholesale price has dropped from $3.75/kg to $2.25/kg while the amount caught is gradually decreasing.
"In the past, each catcher could sell at least 10kg per day to the wholesaler, but the last catch, each of us could bring only 3kg to 4kg per day."
Despite the numbers of the bloodsucking creatures decreasing Mao and Voeurn think their source of income will not end because they believe they will multiply very quickly if conditions improve.

- Description
Bridging the gap between traditional tents and tarp-style shelters, the Big Agnes Scout UL 2 provides a taut pitch with the use of a pair of trekking poles (not included). Ideal for ounce-counting backpackers, this unique tent weighs in at well under 2 pounds.
Measuring a full 88" x 54" and providing 33 square feet of interior space, the Scout UL 2 offers ample room for two and is lightweight enough to serve as an exceptionally roomy solo tent. An awning-style extension on the tent body provides weather protection and includes "eve" and rear vents that maximize airflow to combat condensation build-up. Integrated storage bins at the head of the tent provide places to stash gear and clothes while integrated gear loft loops offer a connection point for the Big Agnes Wall Gear Loft (sold separately).
NOTE: The Scout UL 2 is not freestanding and does require trekking poles. Integrated guyout points, obvious anchor points, and included reflective guyline do, however, make the Scout easier to erect than it may seem at first. Twelve super-light aluminum J stakes are included to secure the pitch.
A large door provides convenient entry. The silicone-treated nylon rip-stop roof and floor deliver lightweight, durable, waterproof protection. All of the Scout UL 2's seams are tape-sealed to further protect the tent from the elements. The Big Agnes Scout UL 2 Footprint (sold separately) can be used to further protect the tent floor from mud, ground water and sharp objects like rocks, exposed roots and pine needles.

|Chapter from: People Without Borders
The Full Service House (Kolektivhus)
By John Taylor; 2010 June 05, Azamat 18, 167 BE
Because they are integrated, universal and standard, there will be many advantages of hillside developments over free-standing buildings. However, the benefits we have so far described are mostly for neighbourhoods, the environment and the world. The question remains, what will attract people there? Why would anybody, especially the wealthy, want to move there? What is it about the hillside lifestyle that makes it substantively better than that of other dwellings? Many North Americans moving into a hillside complex would find that there is less storage space and smaller personal rooms at their disposal than they are used to. Why would they want to live in a hillside development? One word: kollektivhus.
A resident of a hillside -- rich or poor -- will enjoy a full complement of services at their command. Meals are served on time and in a convivial dining atmosphere -- we have already discussed at length the agriculture, kitchen and food delivery system. Similarly, clothing need only be thrown in a hamper, after which it will be regularly laundered, folded, delivered and packed away in the dresser and closet of each resident. The ROO and bedroom are cleaned and ordered while the resident is away. Services such as child care, personal training, nursing, medicine, hairdressing, home repair and maintenance, manicures and massages, all come by way of house calls.
These and other services are part of what in Scandinavia is called a kollektivhus, or full service house. These are semi-private apartments in a building specially designed for full service facilities. Deliveries are quick and efficient thanks to built-in facilities, such as dumb waiters for food delivery and laundry chutes for soiled clothing. A product of decades of development, a Kollektivhus is often owned by the residents themselves; services are run either by volunteers or paid sub-contractors.
Since hillside housing consciously tries to continue, extend and improve upon the full service house, let us look briefly at how this type of housing has evolved so far.
Kolektivhus history
The full service house builds upon various traditions, including the personal servant, the egalitarian rural commune or kibutz and the cooperatively-owned enterprise. Originally designed by Danish and other Scandinavian architects and planners, entire housing blocks were erected with all the benefits of living in a large Victorian household run by a bevy of cooks, maids and butlers, but without residents having to hire or fire separately.
In his history of housing, Norbert Schoenauer described how this dwelling began in what was called the Kollektivhus,
"One of the first postwar Danish collective houses, Hoje Soborg (1951) designed by architects P. E. Hoff and B. Windinge, was built in a Copenhagen suburb, Gladaxe. The 120 dwellings of this five-story elevator serviced building ranged in size from one to four rooms. Apart from a doorman, collective services included a common dining room with central kitchen catering, housekeeping services, a children's center serving all age groups, two guest rooms for tenant's visitors, and, at the roof level, common party and meeting rooms with access to a terrace garden." (6000 years of housing, by Norbert Schoenauer, WW Norton & Co., New York, 2000, p. 460)
The evolution of collective or communal housing continued. By the late 1970's an improved version was designed, now called a "service house." One in development in Stockholm was so popular that it had a waiting list of 13,000 names. Schoenauer writes,
"Collective habitation is an attractive proposition to many families and households. A young working couple would find it very convenient to move into an apartment building where food catering and housecleaning is available on request. Similarly, a new family, transferred from their hometown to an unfamiliar city, would find security in a collective house. Working single parents with preschool children would benefit greatly from using the in-house day-care and kindergarten. Elderly couples and retired people too can benefit from collective services offered in these buildings. In particular, single people: whether young, middle-aged, or elderly, divorced, or widowed: are all potential collective house residents who want to live in comfort without sacrificing their privacy." (Id.)
Because of the high demand, many of these Scandinavian projects were built too large and tall. They were also criticized for being overly institutionalized. It proved difficult to maintain a homey, informal atmosphere in a high-rise.
The historian of housing, Schoenauer, continues,
"If Otto Fick were alive today, and he visited an American family living in a luxury apartment complex like Chicago's River city, a building with 24 hour doorman service and amenities such as swimming pool, sauna, exercise room, rooftop party room, and roof gardens as well as food delivery from an in-house restaurant, he would insist the River city is a Kollektivhus, although in reality it is a mixed-use development. In fact, most American luxury apartment buildings offer services to the residents that are similar to those of collective habitation. But Fick's original intention of making similar services accessible to moderate or lower income groups remains just a dream." (Ib., 460-462)
So, in North America de facto full-service houses have been built for a small number of very rich clients, but they remain exclusive, private enterprises; there is no effort to see that in-home services reaches the mainstream. Paradoxically, American egalitarian leanings keep most Americans away from full and equal access to the service industry.
The constant need to do menial chores remains a major factor in the weakening of the family. The question as to who does this work is the most frequently raised bone of contention between the sexes. Household chores inevitably ends up being done by women.
The availability of servants and cooperative services for all would remove this problem once and for all. It would raise the lot of female homemakers. If the full service house is expensive and difficult to implement at first, it should be marked down to reparations. As Flora Tristan pointed out in 1843, women are due some kind of compensation payment for centuries of subjugation. In my opinion, no investment of this money would be more effective than building full service and mixed-use facilities into every hillside housing development on earth.
An important lesson learned from the full service house experience in Scandenavia is that the average person will have to be far better trained in the difficult skills required by grassroots democratic activism. For one of the most attractive yet challenging features of these communal housing projects is the fact that future residents often have a say in the design of the building long before they are built.
This adds on a whole new level of local interaction to democracy.
If the entire design -- not just superficial modifications -- is decided by actual users and residents, this enables a protean flexibility combined with continuity between past and future that is unheard of in other forms of architecture.
"Since most of these communities were planned and designed with the participation of their future residents, tenure, size, an organization of the community varies in a project approach. However, the complement of private homes and communal facilities are shared by all. Most early communal dwelling clusters were privately owned developments: later nonprofit cooperatives and cooperatives with index linked mortgages as well as rental units were introduced but the most frequent tenure type is still based on private ownership." (Schoenauer, 460)
The hillside housing complex gets around this problem of freeze-in with its flexible, dynamically adaptable design. As residents grow in sophistication, they can dynamically modify the look and arrangement of their households, blocks and neighbourhoods.
Again, the big wrench in the works of communal housing has proven to be politics. While everybody likes full participatory democracy as an ideal, in practice consulting about mundane issues is slow drudgery. It consumes time and energy and -- let us face it -- it is extremely tedious for most people most of the time. Participants who try to reduce their boredom by spicing up the deliberations only stir up more contention, which tears at the roots of the tree. Yet the potential benefits of communal living are too great to ignore.
In practice, the more widely the backgrounds, opinions and outlooks of participants vary, the harder it is to come to a consensus on decisions that affect their common interest. The few communal projects that endure today do so by ejecting dissenters. This sacrifices variety and diversity among members. Schoenauer points out:
"Communal housing groups seem to function best, and with less friction, if their members share similar values and have similar backgrounds. This is one of the reasons they are so successful in Denmark, a country with a culturally homogeneous population. It is tempting to compare the members of communal housing to a large extended family or a clan, but there are two basic distinctions: (1) membership is voluntary, and (2) there is no patriarch or leader and all important decisions are made democratically." (Ibid., 466)
As mentioned, the hillside development follows a principle of unity alternating with diversity, meaning that some households and neighbourhoods will in fact be homogeneous while others will be mixed. There will also be a faster turnover in some, and more emphasis on tradition in others. Ethnicity, trade specialization and a thousand other factors will be tried for a while and persist as they prove useful.
As Schoenauer points out, the most important thing is that living together should prove to be a learning experience. In summing up the educational advantages of one experiment in communal housing called Bofaellesskaber, he points out that such contacts can be edifying, forcing upon all participants the discipline that day-to-day contact with democracy demands. Here,
"First, individuals have the option at all times either to enjoy the privacy of their own homes or to engage in social activities the community's common areas. Second, these residential communities foster voluntary social interaction as well as social and environmental responsibility; most communities practice composting and recycling. Last, but not least, they foster first-hand experience in harmonious communal living: not unlike members of band-type food gathering societies, they learn to compromise after realizing that what is good for the individual may not always be in the best interests of the community." (Ib., 466)
Other problems that have turned up in service house developments are less edifying. The drawbacks tend to be the same as in a commune: how do you maintain both unity of thought and economic viability? How to reconcile volunteer services with commercial, for-profit enterprises? How do you maintain informal, consensual management among large numbers of tenants? Schoenauer writes,
"Experience shows that a moderate sized collective house, with 60 to 100 dwellings and collective services limited exclusively to residents, may be desirable from a social point of view but unrealistic economically. Moderate sized collective habitation is only viable if the residents are willing to operate it communally, as is the case in low-rise communal houses such as Bofaellesskaber, in Denmark, or in a mixed-use apartment building where collective services are provided by in-house commercial outlets." (Ib., 460)
What this describes is a what I call a block neighbourhood, a crucial element of hillside housing and an entire new level of governance. I expect the exact number of individuals in households and of households in neighbourhoods will differ from this, since workplaces are intimately mixed in among housing units, to a much higher degree than anything previously attempted. However the goal is the same, to offer cooperative, full service houses that are attractive to both rich and poor, to replace unsustainable, environmentally destructive, sprawling types of housing within a generation, and to train future generations in the selfless consultative work that democracy requires.

Demur Decks 16.04.2018 by Sam Calver
Having performed to almost 20,000 people during 2017, Sam Calver has steadily been building a loyal following in his hometown of Hastings over the last year- gaining the support of BBC Introducing in the process. Sam has taken over our Demur Decks for this week.
Nothing's Changed – Isaac Waddington
The super slick vocals and production remind me of a young UK version of Allen Stone. The kind of music you'd stumble across in a jazz bar in New York, Love it! Sick video too wish I was there looks fun!
Chemicals – ANML
This is totally wonky but really cool, very artistic and creative. Not conforming at all, lush string sections to distorted bass, choirs and taiko drums. MASSIVE!
Your Hearts Afloat – Harlequiin
This feels really old school but with a stylish tastemaker kick to it. Lots going on with it but it's different, very cool!
Project X – ABISHA
Proper smooth and sexy vocals on this with a deep low-end kick! Great melodies and some quirky electronic sounds creeping in and out. I'd love to hear what this sounds like stripped back on a piano.
Man on Fire – Doktor
Somebody book me a holiday! This is a proper summer vibe, great melodies super hooky and fun. The drawing effect on the video is great too. I want to listen to this in a beach bar with a cold beer.
Problems ft Lido (Shallou Remix) – Petit Biscuit
Huge track! Didn't expect anything less with Lido involved that guy is an absolute genius! Sick remix from Shallou, great vocal delivery and melody, laid back and effortlessly cool. The halftime change halfway through is a right bit of me, sick vibes.
Leave A Light On (Cheat Codes Remix) – Tom Walker
These guys are on fire at the minute! Tom's original track is amazing anyway but with Cheat Codes in the mix it's even bigger. They've taken a very heartfelt track and taken it into summer, genius! This will sound huge in the club!
Buzzing to finally release this track. It's been two years in the making and is my favourite track to date. Usually, you get tired of hearing your own songs after a while but this one is really special to me, and just has such a euphoric vibe to it. I hope you all love it as much as I do.

Pap smear (and a colposcopy) is used to detect and prevent the development of cervical cancer (cancer of the cervix) by identifying cells that may become cancerous in the future. Cancer is an abnormal growth of new tissue characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormally structured cells that have a more primitive form. Detection of abnormal cells in the cervix can help prevent and treat cancer of the cervix. For more info, you may read here.
Exactly one month ago, I had an appointment with the O&G at Hospital Likas after my Pap smear result came back as abnormal (three months later after I done it at KKIA Inanam). I was referred to O&G for the Colposcopy test. I did read online about the test and I was nervous on how it will be performed.
Waduh! Waduh! Saya baca saja ada perkataan kanser terus berpeluh sejuk saya sebentar. Luckily, I have done my Pap smear earlier and encourage those who haven't done their Pap smear better go early before it's too late. Eh, belum lagi habis cerita saya pasal experience kena Colposcopy itu hari.
On the 10th February, the appointment was at 2pm and I'm off to the hospital just after lunch. Sampai hospital at about 1pm and only after 2 or 3 round of the parking lot I got to park my car. And then I go directly to the registration counter and for the first time appointment it was free of charge. But next appointment need to pay the fee already. The counter lady asked me to go to the O&G room which I've been to last year to see pakar juga (berkenaan VBAC). We were told to change to sarung warna hijau and buka seluar dalam for the test. Tunggu punya tunggu dari jam 2pm sampai la jam 3.30pm baru my turn. There's few of us going thru the Colposcopy test, ada yang buat Pap smear saja kali tu. Tapi kebanyakan yang orang tua suda la. Saya yang paling muda (I think) and I don't even bercerita sama dorang. Malas saya, makcik-makcik punya cerita. Saya dengar ja... Menyesal nda bawa bukun cerita or any magazine!
When it's my turn, dup dap dup dap juga perasaan saya. I was told to lied down on the special chair and leg spread apart so that the doctor can insert a device to slightly open the walls of vagina. Before the test performed sempat lagi tu doc cakap 'this is the first and the last time you'll see your cervix' Hehe...why he said like that because there's a big monitor above that you can see everything....from the outside to the inside of the vagina. Dalam bilik tu ada 2 doktor pakar lelaki. 1 memang pakar & yang 1 macam belum pakar, the pakar explained to him bla bla bla...about my cervix condition. 2 nurse perempuan. Actually, yang satu tu memang Staff nurse, yang satu pakai baju biru - Sister. Two sampel was taken and it bleeding like hell (at least i think like that) masa tengok di monitor tu. The doc put a thick yellow-green paste on the area the sample been taken to stop the bleeding. hmmm...bikin takut juga la... Dan berakhir la suda itu test and the doc advised not to have any intercourse for 2 weeks in order for the cervix to heal. Hehehe... baik la Doc!
And my heart feels dup dap dup dap again today. I've received a call from the hospital that my result is out and the doc have re-appoint my appointment to this Friday the 13th which supposed to be on the 24th Mar. O M G!

Can I Sell My House For Cash In El Paso?
My college professor had a habit of telling us to always diversify our investment. He shared with us the best investment you can make is in real estate. This has turned out to be true since the real estate market has been considered to be among the best and the fastest growing industries today.
I invested in many properties and sold them later on in the future. The returns were amazing and injected that money into another real estate investment. It was just a matter of time before I had houses around the country.
One time I was pressed for an emergency and needed cash flow quick. The only solution was to sell one of the properties. The fact that I didn't know how to sell my house fast was the only problem I had. I even contacted all the realtors who were close to me. Unfortunately, none of them had any. It took me a while to sell the house and that's when I realized that there is a need that requires supply.
My business, We Buy Houses, helped many people who had houses that they were seeking to sell fast. Our headquarters are in El Paso and we have been the driving force in helping people to sell homes for cash. Another advantage of working with us is that we don't require you to renovate your house. We understand where you are coming from and we will buy … Read More

Washington Redskins GM Bruce Allen mentioned that they intend to bring back MLB London Fletcher next season.
"We want to, we want to–and he wants to come back," Allen said, via Redskins.com. "We're just waiting for the season to finish, and then we're gonna take care of business. He's a captain. We want our captain back."
Fletcher, 36, continued to produce at a high level despite his age and wound up making his third straight Pro Bowl this season. In fact, Fletcher has never missed a game in his NFL which is absolutely astounding when you consider that he's played in the middle of a defense for fourteen seasons.

DNB Xtra featuring Utah Jazz
First things first, Utah Jazz bears no relation to the NBA team of the same name. Born Luke Wilson, the UK producer randomly adopted the name from the US basketball team to show his fondness for the mid '90s 'Jazz Jungle' sound – a cross between jungle and atmospheric sounds.
Jazz translated that preference into his music and is now arguably the leading figure responsible for some of the finest liquid-funk in drum & bass history. With his sleek, unique, handcrafted flavours, Jazz has garnered a global army of devotees.
In 2008, his debut album 'It's a Jazz Thing' received worldwide critical and commercial acclaim, followed by another album 'Vintage' in 2010.
Now Jazz has launched his third album 'Groove Therapy', which he has proudly proclaimed to be his most ambitious album to date. Fans will definitely be getting a taste of his new album in this giddy, bass-loaded party. Ian Loh

Vivo to show phone with fingerprint sensor under screen
For a while now we hear rumors that Apple or Samsung will launch a smartphone with a fingerprint sensor embedded in the screen. It was expected that Samsung might introduce this feature with the Galaxy S8, but that didn't happen. According to the latest reports, the Note8 might also be without this feature.
As for Apple, there are some reports that claim that the iPhone 8 might have this feature, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Now, a new report from China says that a totally unexpected company might be the first to launch a smartphone with a fingerprint scanner embedded under the glass - Vivo.
The leak is accompanied by an image of the phone that reportedly comes with this feature.
An analyst from China says that Vivo will launch this device on June 28th, but take that information with a grain of salt because nothing has been officially confirmed yet.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Energizer Holdings Inc. said Thursday second-quarter profit easily surpassed Wall Street's target, as strong battery sales and currency benefits more than offset flat razor and blade sales.
Additionally, the St. Louis company ENR, +0.64% whose products range from its namesake batteries to Schick-brand razors, announced an average 6.8% price increase for alkaline and zinc carbon batteries.
For the latest quarter, Energizer reported a 7.8% gain in net income to $57.6 million, or 78 cents a share, from $53.4 million, or 63 cents a share, in the year-earlier period.
Excluding tax-related benefits accruing to 10 cents a share, earnings would have been 68 cents, or 7 cents higher than analysts' average view, according to Thomson First.
Sales rose to $629 million in the latest three months from $592.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The company said domestic battery sales grew 14%, while international sales rose 6%. Favorable currency exchange accounted for $16.1 million of the total sales gain, Energizer said.
Shares in Energizer closed at $57.03, down $1.37.

Billing Aquadrome Site Rules 2018-2019
These site rules are necessary to maintain standards and conditions to ensure that all occupiers enjoy the full benefits of the park.
Payment in full/part or entry into the park shall be deemed to be acceptance of the site rules and as such form part of the Site Licence agreement for the occupancy of the pitch on the park.
All persons using the park must comply with the site rules.
Please read these site rules carefully and keep them in your holiday home for future reference.
The expression "you" refers to the Holiday Home owner/occupier and the expression "the Company" refers to Billing Aquadrome Limited whose registered office is South Lakeland House, A6 Yealand Redmayne, Carnforth, Lancashire, LA5 9RN.
These new site rules supersede all previous versions and remain valid until updated again.
Please ensure that all visitors are aware of the site rules.

1.2. The park comprises Billing Aquadrome, Northampton and all facilities presently on site and maintained by the Company.
1.3. The park is licenced as a holiday park and NOT a residential park. No holiday home shall be occupied as a person's sole or main place of residence.

Visits are restricted to Saturdays and Sundays ONLY and between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm.

The winner of this year's International Business Hackathon is the Bachelor of Economics Tomaž Jug for his idea 'Grow by Skaza', which he presented with his team. At the 2-day competition in solving a business challenge for young managers and entrepreneurs, prepared by Plastika Skaza, which was attended by almost 100 managers from 8 countries, Tomaž Jug together with his group presented the winning idea – Grow by Skaza. The idea presents an innovative way of home gardening, which includes modular pots made of environmentally friendly materials.
In only 48 hours, the competitors were required to develop the entire business plan with a focus on an innovative product, which it would be possible to develop, produce, and launch on the market by Plastika Skaza by next year. Each presentation was allowed only five minutes and in that time they had to convince the seven-member jury with their innovation, originality, and the feasibility of the production. »The instructions they received were clear: the product must be environmentally friendly, degradable, it has to improve people's lives, its design has to be attractive, and it has to be suitable for mass production. The Grow by Skaza concept was the most convincing because we can start producing it immediately and it also meets all other set criteria. This kind of product is needed in every household, because there will be increasingly less greenery and it will be thus transferred into our homes. Grow by Skaza will actually enable that,« said the executive director of Plastika Skaza Ana Laura Rednak.
All members of the winning team received MBA scholarships in the form of Entrepreneurship modules at the Cotrugli Business School as well as prize money.

Home insurance - Damage caused by neighbouring property
Who is your issue with?
How does Resolver work?
Explains your rights to you
You'll find no legal jargon in our simple, comprehensive consumer rights sections. Our guidance is tailored specifically for every type of issue.
Helps you prepare your emails
We provide a wide range of flexible email templates for you to adapt to your needs – just slot in the specific details for your case, and in a few short clicks your issue will be ready to go.
Creates a case file for you
Your case file is a secure online location for all important documents regarding your issue. You can upload photos, tickets, copies of receipts or external emails from before you raised your issue with Resolver.
Lets you record all your communications
One of the most important aspects of a complicated issue is keeping a record of all your correspondence regarding the complaint – Resolver does this for you automatically.
Lets you know when to escalate your complaint
If you're not satisfied with the initial response from the organisation you have an issue with, our escalation process will let you know when you can raise your complaint to the next level of seniority and, ultimately to an ombudsman or regulator, where appropriate.
Home insurance policies contain "insured perils" which refers to events such as fire and flood. If the cause of the damage can be attributed to an "insured peril" then you may be able to claim. You should check whether your policy has accidental damage cover which may cover this sort of situation. If your insurer or theirs refuses your claim, then there are other avenues you can explore. If talks with your neighbour fail, then you can utilise legal expenses cover if you have that as part of your home insurance – check your policy carefully. This could cover the cost of taking legal action against your neighbour. This will enable you to litigate against your neighbour personally to recover the damages he has caused you. Keep a record and photographic evidence of the damage as it can be used as evidence for your insurance claim.
Resolver can help you resolve this issue quickly, free of charge and without the hassle. We can also help you with the next step of writing your complaint. Click on the link below to create your email.
You should know
- If you're making a complaint about making an insurance claim rather than a mis-sold policy, check your documents to see who the "underwriter" is. You'll need to make a complaint to that organisation.
If you cannot resolve your issue you cannot raise your case to the Ombudsman until 8 weeks after you have first raised your complaint with your supplier, or you have received a 'letter of deadlock' from the company stating that they cannot resolve the issue as you have asked. Your complaint must also not be older than 9 months. For an accurate decision by the Ombudsman you should provide a detailed file of your communications and supporting documentation. In addition make sure you explain what you want as an outcome as this will help assess your case.
Find the best rights for you
We have 5,042 pages of rights advice for you covering 7,451 companies and organisations across 17 public & private sectors. Feel free to browse companies for this specific issue - they're all listed below - but the quickest way to find the best rights for you is by using our unique Rights Finder to access our extensive database of advice.
