I bought this in the 12 roll-on form. The scent lasts a very long time but that's a negative to me b/c I can not stand this scent. I thought the vanilla would be stronger but the victorian floral smell won through... this is going back to Sephora..
This is a sweet, girly fragrance that is a blend of vanilla candy, soft flowers, powder and musk. The top notes, middle notes and dry down are all extremely feminine, warm and cozy. I'd buy it again!

pretty baby powdery floral pink perfume...lilac,lily of the valley,vanilla....makes me feel like a princess when i spray this on!
LOVE this perfume. I usually do not wear perfume because of the strong, heavy scents of most, but this one is perfect. My new "signature" scent! I have the less expensive roll-on tube, which provides perfect application. Also great for travelling!
The packaging is what drew me in on this one, the bottle is so pretty. The scent is too floral for me. I usually don't like florals but thought I'd give it a try since I do like vanilla. My opinion is this fragrance is kinda old lady-ish. I'm glad I tried it but probably won't buy again.
I just love this fragrance, and so does my DH. Everytime I wear it he comments just how much he likes it. That makes it worth buying again in my book. For me, it has a warm vanilla-amber scent, that is not too strong smelling but just enough to have people notice. Lasts all day for me, which is a bonus.
Am I the only one who got a smelled a strong cinnamon note? This smelled disgusting on me, like a mix between a flower shop and a bakery gone terribly, terribly wrong. I ran home and took a bath. That will teach me not to sample it on the paper sticks first. Pretty packaging though, hah.
I agree with the reviewer who described it as a vanilla amber mix. its also very musky. All I know is that it drives my fiance insane - he LOVES it (and that is an understatement). When I want to get him in the mood, I wear this. It never fails to work and for that reason alone, I'll repurchase! :)

Love this scent! Got it in a swap and at first i thought i didn't really like it...but i think it grows on you, i really love it now. It's pretty unique i think...reminds me of baby powder but with a more grown-up twist because of the musky/vanilla (?) smell. I also love the pretty bottle.
I have been in the habit of keeping a bottle of this on hand for about two years, and I have to say I enjoy this fragrance quite a bit. It is very, very sweet though... The floral is there, but to me it's more of a strong vanilla with a bit of floral rather than the other way around. I would like more of the lily of the valley/lilac notes, but have been happy with this product regardless. I just look elsewhere for my clean, fresh florals and use this when I'm in the mood for something sweeter. I always, always get compliments from coworkers/friends when I wear this. And the little bottle is adorable.

Arrest Warrant Issued in Chandra Levy Slaying
FOX: An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday in federal intern Chandra Levy's murder for an immigrant already in prison for attacking two other women, authorities said.
Ingmar Guandique, 27, of El Salvador, was named in the warrant. Guandique is in federal prison in California for attacking two female joggers in the Washington park where Levy's remains were found nearly seven years ago.
"We believe Miss Levy was a random victim of Mr. Guandique," U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor told reporters in announcing the arrest.
Guandique told a woman he was writing letters with from prison that he had killed a young woman in a Washington, D.C., park, according to the affidavit.
The warrant is the latest development in an investigation that had gone cold for years after destroying the career of former U.S. Rep. Gary Condit of California.
Investigators in 2002 questioned Guandique in Levy's slaying after he was convicted of attacking the women in Washington's Rock Creek Park. He was not charged at the time.
Levy was 24 and had just completed an internship with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared in May 2001 after leaving her Washington apartment. The California Calif., woman was wearing jogging clothes when she vanished, and a man walking his dog found her skull and bones in the park a year later.

None investigated Obama as a "person of interest" during this case. How well I remember the films broadcast by the newsmedia… The look on Senator Obama's face, Miss Levy's ties to Chicago and the Evanston area, and topping that off the fact that the Obamas frequented Presidents Park at all hours of the day, but most often in the middle of the night… The U.S disgusts me. I'm going home to the North Kingdom soonest.

As opioid use, primarily heroin, continues to increase in Mashpee, nearly 20 members of the Mashpee Police Department attended a training session on Tuesday to learn how to administer Naloxone. Better known as Narcan, Naloxone is a nasal spray that, in effect, brings unresponsive overdose victims back to life by forcing the opioids off of brain receptors.
Typically, emergency medical technicians with the Mashpee Fire and Rescue Department administer the powerful drug that stops the effects of opiate overdoses by counteracting the life-threatening depression of the central nervous system and respiratory system. Police officers, though, are often the first responders to arrive on the scene of a reported overdose and a matter of a few minutes in receiving a Narcan dose could mean the difference between life and death for the victim.
"Two to three minutes can make a huge difference in saving a life if the police arrive on scene before EMTs," said Max L. Sandusky, director of prevention and screening for the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, who conducted the training session.
"Sometimes we arrive before anyone else and this would provide us with a quick option to try to save a life when precious seconds count," Mashpee Police Chief Rodney C. Collins said.
Before the Narcan is issued to or administered by police personnel, Chief Collins said that he would have discussions and follow-up with the union representatives of both officers and sergeants.
Narcan is a prescription drug in the United States, but opioid overdose responders can carry the drug legally under Massachusetts General Law.
A second training session is scheduled at the police station for next week.
Since the Cape & Islands Overdose Education & Naloxone Distribution Program, overseen by Mr. Sandusky, began in 2006, nearly 1,000 people have been trained and enrolled in the program, and nearly 100 overdose reversals have been reported. Statewide, as of late 2013, more than 21,000 people have been trained, and more than 2,400 overdoses reversed.
The program, funded by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, was established after the state experienced a 600 percent increase in overdoses from 1999 to 2006. A 2013 research study reported that death rates from opioid overdose were reduced in communities where overdose education and Narcan distribution were implemented compared with areas where there were no such programs.
Step 1: Recognizing an Overdose
- Extreme sleepiness or "nodding"
- Eyes may rol up under the eyelids
- Silent or slurred, often nonsensical speech
- Drooling
- Vomiting
- Poor coordination and collapse
- Contracted pupils or "pinning"
- Slow, Noisy, Labored and/or irregular breathing
- Blue/gray lips and fingertips
Step 2: Assessing Level of Consciousness
- Call out to victim
- If no response, call louder and shake
- Check for response to pain
If you can wake the victim up, keep him/her awake. Monitor closely for at least 2 to 3 hours. Consider calling 911 or taking victim to emergency room.
Step3: If You Cannot Wake Up Victim, Check Breathing
- If Victim is breathing, call 911, administer Narcan, and stay with victim
- If victim is not breathing, begin rescue breathing (CPR), administer Narcan ASAP and call 911

This week's demonstration at the police station was remarkable in its simplicity. Within a few seconds, students in the class were able to assemble the atomizer and needleless syringe kit and were ready to administer the Narcan—one half of the premeasured dosage up one nostril, the other half up the other nostril.
Once Narcan is administered, it forces opioids off brain receptors for 30 to 90 minutes, quickly restoring heartbeat and consciousness. After it is administered, it is important that overdose victims be transported to the nearest emergency room since they could start overdosing again after the Narcan dose wears off if opioids are still in their system.
Narcan is also available to drug users, their friends, family members, and care providers to have on-hand to reverse an overdose should the situation arise. Information regarding the drug, and how to obtain a kit, can be obtained by contacting Donna Mello, Harm Reduction Manager at the Hyannis office of the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, at 508-778-1954.
"Opioid addiction is a major problem on the Cape, and it is only going to grow. We are seeing a spike in the use of heroin mixed with fentanyl, which is 40 times more potent than the heroin that is on the streets of Cape Cod. It was first seen in Canada, but has already been found in Rhode Island. It won't be long until it is here," Mr. Sandusky said.

I know PNG is lossless . The Psd is 13 megs when I save to PNG in Photoshop the Pngs are 1.34meg non- interlaced and 1.43 megs Interlaced. Those are the only two option available. The "canvas" texture becomes much more pronounced. It looks as Jaxilon stated like a screen door.When I enlarge the psd to 34 megs the conversion comes out at 7.4 megs without the distortion. But that is too big for posting here? The conversion ratio doesn't seem linear. Must be something to do with Photoshop. Even in PS side by side the PNG is Brighter but otherwise looks the same. Here on the Guild it looks much less smooth and blocky! I just saved the attachment from here back to desktop and opened it in PS for a side by side comparison and in PS the attachment looks like the pre-attached PNG simply brighter .I am perplexed to say the least. Maybe I need to use an external converter to keep the quality ? I am open to any and all suggestions. It comes to mind that a color space difference between PS and the guild viewer might be causing the "Apparent" quality difference ??

French Professor Aouicha Hilliard
-story by Kaitlyn Sewell '15
A desire for cultural breadth on campus led Randolph-Macon College
French Professor Aouicha Hilliard to become director of the
International Education program.
"Several years ago, I asked Dean Jerome Garris why R-MC didn't have an
international studies major, and he encouraged me to start one. He suggested
I get a committee together, which I did, and our international studies major was
born," she says. "A couple of years later, he asked me to take the reins of the
Office of International Education."
The international education program gives R-MC students the opportunity to embrace
foreign cultures through campus-wide diversity programs and through
January Term and study abroad.
It also provides accommodation services and a warm welcome to international students
through faculty and student International Assistants.
"We have an orientation for our
international students," Hilliard explains. "International
Assistants help with this transition—they remind international students
to notice, to compare, and to keep asking questions—of others, but mainly of themselves.
International students are generally very insightful about their own journeys."
Born in Algeria, Hilliard studied English and American Literature before meeting
her husband, a member of the Peace Corps. "After I arrived in the United States,
I realized I was not as prepared as I had thought," Hilliard remembers. "It was
a big change for me: the American accents, social cues, and the size of the United
States were not easy to get used to." Hilliard earned her M.A. at the University
of Rhode Island and her Ph.D. at the University of Rochester. She joined the R-MC
faculty in 1978 and teaches a wide range of
French courses, as well as an international studies course,
Theory and Method in the Study of Culture.
First-Year Experience
Hilliard considers the First-Year Experience (FYE)
program an excellent springboard for freshmen students.
"With the FYE program, I want students to realize that most of the situations we
encounter in life are too complex to be considered from a single angle," she says.
"To me, that's what being educated is about: to be able to draw on a wide range
of possibilities, to appreciate the possibilities—even if they are contradictory
to one another—and to compare, assess, and make well-considered decisions." She
has taught several FYE courses: Wine, Science, and Society with
Chemistry Professor Serge Schreiner (and again with
Chemistry Professor April Marchetti '97), and she has twice taught The
Stranger (with Sociology Professor Scott London).
Study Abroad
Another one of Hilliard's passions is the
study abroad program. "Studying abroad is a wonderful experience for students,"
Hilliard says. "It can help them figure out what they are capable of, learn their
strengths and weaknesses, and learn to take risks—often pushing themselves to their
full potential." Every two or three years, Hilliard takes a class to France, and
she is grateful for the enriching experience.
Rachel Johnsen '13 recalls her trip to France as a high point in
her education. "Madame Hilliard taught a course called Paris in Literature, and
the cool thing was that we were able to visit the places that we were reading about,"
Johnsen remembers. "What makes Madame Hilliard unique are the close relationships
she builds with students in and out of the French Department."
"The atmosphere at R-MC is wonderful for building relationships with students,"
Hilliard says. "You can be honest and straightforward when you have a good, trusting
connection with students, and they can be honest and straightforward with you. Watching
my students grow and realize their maximum potential is so rewarding to me."

Canada's Magazine on collection, hauling, processing & disposal

A study by the University of Nebraska and North Carolina State University aims to quantify air emissions from vehicles used to collect and transport solid waste.
The study will attempt to determine if there are connections between garbage truck emissions and ambient conditions, vehicle type and routing characteristics.
Due to the nature of solid waste collection, vehicles continuously start and stop creating significant potential for pollutant emissions," states an abstract of the study by the Environmental Research and Education Foundation, which is contributing more than $200,000 to the investigation. "In addition to local air quality impacts from solid waste collection, a better understanding of the contribution of the solid waste industry to carbon emissions is also of crucial importance."
As the industry's fleet composition shifts from standard diesel fueled trucks to dedicated or dual-fuel liquefied or compressed natural gas engines, data from this study can be used to track how such shifts are making waste collection greener.
The study claims to be the first of its kind to ascertain garbage truck emissions under varying conditions and truck specs, which will help identify how variable truck emissions can be.
The Environmental Research and Education Foundation says that in 2007greenhouse gas emissions from the solid waste industry were approximately 160.5 Tg CO2 equivalents, however, the relative contribution of various components of the solid waste management system such as waste processing, collection and disposal is not well known.
"Although some information is available regarding air emissions and fuel economy of conventional and alternative fuel solid waste collection vehicles, these data may not be indicative of performance under real world conditions," the Environmental Research and Education says in its study abstract.
The study is expected to be completed by February 2014.

Stephan's Quintet is a cluster of five galaxies. CREDIT: NASA and European Space Agency (ESA)
Pegasus, a constellation in the northern sky, was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the constellation is high in the sky starting near the end of summer and continuing through autumn. If you are below the Equator, look for Pegasus in late winter and through spring.
Among Pegasus' more remarkable features are its numerous galaxies and objects.
A Messier object, M15, is a globular cluster of magnitude 6.4 about 34,000 light-years from Earth. It is one of the most densely packed clusters in the Milky Way galaxy.
NGC 7331 is a spiral galaxy about 38 million light-years away. It was one of the first objects to be described as "spiral."
Einstein's Cross, a quasar, is an excellent example of gravitational lensing. The quasar is about 8 billion light-years from Earth, and sits behind a galaxy that is 400 million light-years away. Four images of the quasar appear around the galaxy because the intense gravity of the galaxy bends the light coming from the quasar.
Stephan's Quintet is actually a cluster of five galaxies that is 300 million light-years away…

Brian Boyle was born with craniosynostosis, a birth defect that causes one or more sutures (soft spots) on a baby's head to fuse earlier than normal, altering the growth pattern of the skull. When he was just 5 weeks old, Brian underwent his first of five surgeries at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
Surgeons Linton A. Whitaker and Scott P. Bartlett from CHOP's Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery essentially took apart the bones surrounding Brian's brain and the upper part of his face, and restructured his skull, allowing room for his brain to expand. It was a long and difficult process, but Brian recovered well and went on to become a student-athlete at the University of the Sciences.

Republic Wireless just announced a new offer for those who have been considering the switch, but aren't willing to spend $250 for a Motorola Defy XT. Beginning today, the company has two options: buy the Defy XT for the existing price and pay $19 a month for service, or pay $99 for the phone and $29 monthly for the plan. Unlike traditional carriers that subsidize the prices of phones and lock you into a contract, however, there is no contract with Republic.
If you're a Republic Wireless customer, then you probably already know an OTA update started rolling out yesterday to the company's Motorola Defy XT (which also happens to break root – you can remedy that problem here). As a result of the update, Republic Wireless has also released an app into the Play Store that improves the reception on the DXT by adding a few enhancements to the way it manages calls and network connectivity.
At 6:00 PM EST today, Republic Wireless will be releasing an OTA update for its single- and dual-band Motorola Defy XT. While the update will bring a slew of enhancements to the device, it also brings a not-so-desirable "fix:"breaking the root exploit uncovered by jcase back in December. That means if you're already rooted, you'll lose root during the update process, and if you haven't yet rooted, the old method will no longer work.
Just like subscribers to any other phone service provider, advanced users of the hybrid 3G/WiFi mobile virtual network Republic Wireless are eager to customize and modify their phones - probably more so, in fact. That's why we posted a rooting guide for the only Republic phone available, the Motorola Defy XT. But in a message to the Republic subscriber base, an employee clarified the company's position on rooting, custom ROMs and other modifications to the Android hardware it provides to its customers.
We've talked about Republic Wireless a few times 'round here at AP. From when it was first announced, to several milestones along the way - we've followed along with what's happening at RW somewhat closely.
For months, the company was in a private beta of sorts, with would-be customers signing up for their invite, and RW sending them out in waves. In November, however, the company opened its figurative doors to the world - no more waves, no beta invites.
Republic Wireless hit the scene with an interesting idea: to offer full-fledged mobile service for $19 a month. The low-cost service relies on customers using Wi-Fi and "hybrid Wi-Fi calling" in order to keep the cost low, and, for the time being, RW only has one phone: the Motorola Defy XT.
There are a lot of reasons to like Republic Wireless, the forward-looking unlimited hybrid 3G/WiFi mobile virtual network operator that started an invite-only beta earlier this year. The invite-only part is not one of them. If you've been waiting for your chance to try out Republic's super-cheap plans, then you won't have to wait much longer: the company announced on its blog that it will soon be open to all applicants.
Republic Wireless, the wireless carrier that prefers WiFi for most of its connections, and utilizes Sprint 3G in the interim, has announced that it's ready to take on new customers. The company reported that "Wave A", which consists of an unspecified number of users, has been a resounding success and that they believe they've found a model on which a $19/month unlimited everything plan is sustainable.
No, Republic Wireless hasn't merged with Google as per the Internet's dreams, but it has begun issuing invites to its upcoming beta service.
Indeed, those who signed up for the service a few months back should soon be assigned a "wave" of the beta. Following this assignment, the lucky few will be secured a spot on Republic's waiting list, and the waves will start opening up this summer.
But the real news here is the smartphone pricing that's been sent out to beta customers.
When we first heard about Republic Wireless, it sounded too good to be true. $19 per month for unlimited talk, text, and data? No way. Then we got into the fine print and realized that unlimited had a different meaning in this scenario (much like with other carriers), as RW actually intended on you using your cell more over Wi-Fi and reserved the right to eject you from its network (which runs on Sprint's 3G backbone) if you used too much 3G data.

A stile immediately right of the cates takes one around the water treatment works to a ruined farm and an ancient trackway leading over an ancient bridge to a stile. Marshy anclosures give access to open moorland and the mouth of the Cwm Llafar valley where a better track is attained. This follows the SW bank of the Afon Llafar to a point Beyond Llech Dhu, where it peters out alltogether. An ill-defined path then leads into the upper cwm. Boulder screes and water-logged ground provide options leading to the final steep incline.

In the beginning-
You made me feel like the most important person in the world and I had hope again .
As time went on that feeling disappeared.
I would of gave up anything just to be with you .
Now, as I sit here alone without even a phone call or a letter -
I realized you came in to my life so quickly but left it just as quick.
Alone as I am now-
Little by little-
On every star I have prayed-
Never again will I find love again -
Even if it means beingalone forever.

Limply adapted from a novel by The Graduate author Charles Webb, Hope Springs has all sorts of fun visually referencing its famous cinematic forebear. Thing is, opening on an airport travelator and framing the lead behind his lover's leg comes with a price: it reminds how this would-be sex comedy never comes close to emulating The Graduate's charm or comic touch.
Mark Herman's formulaic rom-com is also miscast: Colin Firth looks like a poor man's Hugh Grant as he tackles the role of a lovelorn artist escaping an unhappy engagement; Heather Graham creaks alarmingly as the selfless careworker helping him through his heartache; and Mary Steenburgen... Well, whoever cast her as a slutty landlady probably thinks Mother Teresa was a 10p hooker. Still, Minnie Driver convinces as Firth's evil ex.

- Info
The nominations for elections to Bradford Teaching Hospitals' Council of Governors closed on February 7, 2013.
Hospital chairman, David Richardson, confirmed that in the Foundation Trust's public membership constituency for Bradford North, Mohammad Yaqoob and David Robertshaw have been elected unopposed. Their new terms of office start in April 2013.
Elections will be held in the membership constituencies of Bradford South (1 vacancy), Keighley (1 vacancy), Shipley (2 vacancies) and our 'Patient' membership constituency (2 vacancies) which includes members who live outside Bradford.
Voting packs will be distributed to Foundation Trust members on February 27 and the deadline for return of completed ballot papers is March 19. The results will be announced on March 20.
Chris Allcock, trust secretary said: "We would encourage all Foundation Trust members who receive their ballot paper to participate in these elections and make their vote count.
"Bradford Teaching Hospitals actively encourages its members to take part in all aspects of hospital life and this is one more way that the people can get involved.
"The Council of Governors plays a very important part in the running of our six hospitals and it is important that people have their say on who will be our next governors."
The majority of the Council of Governors is made up of governors who have been elected by Foundation Trust members. The council aims to give everyday people who use the hospitals a bigger say in how they are run.
The Council of Governors holds the Board of Directors to account and seeks to ensure the continued success of the Foundation Trust through effective management, partnership working and maintaining NHS values and principles.
The Council of Governors meets formally four times a year. Governors are involved in hospital committees and working groups and also provide input into specific projects where their particular expertise or perspective is valuable.

Category Archives: Sea Pines Homes for Sale
Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty!
Our last blog about the rising activity level of new home construction in Sea Pines elicited many responses from both owners (thinking of selling—but waiting for the "right time") and prospective buyers (thinking of buying—but waiting for the "right time"). Sounds like both parties could miss that boat! So, we will take up where we left off. First of all, the "right time" is code for "when the money is right." Sellers want a profit and buyers want a bargain. That's OK, buying real estate is a big deal whether it's a first home or the fourth vacation home (or condo).
There is no cookie-cutter valuation when it comes to Island properties—especially when it comes to properties in Sea Pines. Brand new with cutting-edge good looks or tired and getting on up in age, most of the homes are custom-built, and lest it be forgotten, some of the older ones are sitting on prime lots. Whether you are buying or selling, what your brother's neighbor's aunt's house sold for six months ago (whether in Palmetto Dunes or Palm Beach) is not relevant. All markets are local, but this market is especially unique. Great, beautiful white sand beaches, gentle waves and wide surfs, world-class golf and tennis, cool shops, friendly neighbors, great fishing, equestrian pursuits, leisure trails, a vibrant arts scene, and, oh, a year-round awesome climate.
Doing one's homework and launching at just the right time has never counted for more. While spreadsheets and comps have never been more valuable, so too is a heaping dose of old-fashioned horse sense. Ergo, don't discount the knowledge or the decades of invaluable experience in assisting buyers and sellers of Hilton Head real estate by the team of Realtors at Lancaster Real Estate Sales. Contact us today to receive helpful and worthwhile guidance. Be ready to act at the "right time" for Sleeping Beauty (the secluded teardown amongst the majestic live oaks and brambles that you passed by) is about to be awakened by the sweet hum of construction.
Sea Pines is more than a great place to live, work and play. More than a cliché of luxury living, it's familiar, safe and friendly. It's home to a fortunate few and a home-away-from-home for many others. The first memories go way back, but not so far back that you cannot recall the first glimpse, the first breath of clean, salt air, the first vision of what natural beauty really is. Take a good, long look around you—you will love what you see. Let's start on the outside and make our way in, shall we?
If we set our gaze on the blue boundary that separates the island from the mainland, Calibogue Sound, at nearly 70 feet deep, is Hilton Head's most ancient natural wonder. The cool waters and rushing currents of this 13-mile channel wind and curve around the tip of the Island as it connects with the Atlantic Ocean. Homes in Sea Pines along beautiful Calibogue Cay Road as it forks North and South enjoy deep water docks in their back yards, exquisite water vistas, spectacular marsh views and the calm of the tidal creek as it rises and falls with an 8' tide. Private and secluded, and just a short walk from Harbour Town, the unique architectural design of the homes on the Cay are made up primarily of full-time residents, making it one of the most sought-after (and notable) neighborhoods on the entire island. Exactly.
Turn around again and you will see an expanse of ocean like you have never seen before. It is here that the gentle waves roll into the white sands and wide shoreline—5 miles of pristine beach. The homes that dot this shore are magnificent structures, each with its own story and individual history. From one-story bungalows built in the 1960s as weekend getaways for a drive-time crowd and passed down to their children and grandchildren as legacy homes to newly built, expansive designs boasting tomorrow's tropical treats and architectural flairs with floor to ceiling windows and banks of French doors that swing open early in the morning only to close as the sun sets over the water and the nighttime sky avails itself. Exactly.
Move farther inland within the resort and you will gaze down oak-shaded streets dotted with family homes of all sizes and designs, full of life and vigor. Homes in pristine condition on prime lots—for sale and ready for move-in. Exactly.
We have what you want and we know what you need. Call us for a private tour of homes for sale in Sea Pines. You'll find exactly what you are looking for.
Sea Pines Homes for Sale
Sea Pines homes for sale offer a variety of lifestyle choices, including single-family homes, condos and villas.

The property owners and residents of Sea Pines comprise a wonderful mixture: young and old, working and retired, single and married, families with children and families without. Sea Pines provides a wonderful range of opportunities and upscale amenities for its residents–plantation offerings include five miles of pristine beach, a 605-acre forest preserve, equestrian pursuits at Lawton Stables, the world-famous Harbour Town, shopping centers, three world-class golf course, championship tennis, swimming, miles of leisure trails, gardens, playgrounds, family entertainment, and much more.

Moving on a Budget Begins With an Accurate Moving Estimate.
You plan to relocate, but before you do, you need a moving estimate. You've come to the right place! As experienced household movers, Atlas can help you estimate moving expenses so you know exactly what to expect.
An accurate moving estimate depends on several things. What are the size and weight of items you need to move? How far are you moving them? Do you need help to ensure their safe packing and loading for transport? How much valuation coverage do you need? Atlas will help you determine the answers to accurately estimate moving expenses.

With Atlas, you'll find options to fit most any budget. You may choose a traditional move with van and skilled Atlas people for packing, loading, unpacking and unloading. Or, Atlas can provide the materials and you can do the packing yourself with our packing tips. The choice is yours. Request instant Atlas pricing now.
Atlas Smart Move brings you the most flexible moving container option. The SmartVault container leads the industry for safety, security, and ease of use. For packing and loading, be as hands-on as you like. You can do it, we can help, or we can do it all.
Twenty tips on how to make and save money when you move.
Make money during a move? Of course you can. There are several ways you can earn cash in the days and weeks before and after you relocate, and there are ways you can save money during that busy time, too. Here are 20 suggestions for putting greenbacks in your pocket. Even better, some of these tips come under the heading of "fun."
Before the move:
Many communities have one or more "Entertainment" books with coupons for meals, travel and leisure activities. The coupons are usually good for an entire year. Such books typically cost between $25 and $45, but that money can be recouped after just a few meals. You can find out more and order books online at www.entertainment.com.
The Internet is another useful means for selling used furnishings and other household items. Craigslist.org provides online local classifieds that are largely free. You may wish to use an online auction service such as eBay.com. If you are not familiar with using an online auction, or do not have the time to learn, some local businesses will oversee the process for you for a fee.
Visit one or more of these stores to see how they handle the consignment process and exactly what they offer for sale. Some carry a wide variety of merchandise including furniture, with prices substantially below the cost of new merchandise, but high enough to make a nice profit for you.
Whatever you take in must be in good condition. Usually, you specify an amount you will take for each item and the shop adds a markup to arrive at a sale price. If the item remains unsold after a period of time, the store may reduce the price.
The above applies especially if you have inherited furnishings and other odds and ends. Don't be too hasty to dismiss old tins, books, odd pieces of china, etc. Do some homework before you put them in a moving sale or consignment shop.
It's a good idea to keep a map in each car. Since the walls of your new home may be bare for the first few weeks, pin a map up for reference as you get acclimated to your new location.
To get a feel for the job market in your new community, subscribe to the daily newspaper or access its classified employment listings through the Internet. You can also search for local opportunities at careerbuilder.com and monster.com.
Begin networking now, too. Prepare to join professional associations in your new community, as well as other groups with the same background or interests as your own. Perhaps a fellow member of a committee you're on knows someone in a similar field in your new town. He or she might write you a letter of introduction.
Consider temporary work. It can bring in money right away, get you out and meeting people, and even lead to a permanent position. Keep in mind that today's temporary work force comprises more than clerical and industrial workers. Attorneys, accountants, nurses and architects, among other professionals, can find temp assignments these days.
Also, be certain you are not duplicating coverage. Compare your standard homeowner's and automobile policies, as well as any umbrella coverage you might have, to be certain you are not paying for overlapping coverage.
If you paid a pet deposit when you moved in, look into that as well. Should it be returned to you if the apartment is left as you found it?
Take with you the name and address of your building's owner or managing agent, and contact that individual or office if you have not received the money due you within 15 days after you move.
The first few weeks in your new home...
You may wish to tune into local Twitter users; many will tweet about sales, store closings, and free events. And check out your local online news providers for free electronic alerts to weather and local breaking news.
Look for newcomer activities and phone numbers to call in your local newspaper under "Calendar of Events." Many media outlets (especially newspaper and television stations) publish searchable community calendars on their Websites. You can use Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to connect with organizations and people who share your interests in local events.
Many libraries also allow you to check out videos on a library card. And don't forget books on local history and places of interest to acquaint you with your new community.
Read a book? Watch a movie? Yes, the time will come when the unpacking is finished and you will actually find yourself with a free evening. You'll be settled in and feeling right at home — thanks to all your efforts over the past few weeks. Congratulations.

As anyone who has
ever thought about going to the gym can tell you, thinking and doing are vastly
different verbs. The difference between the people who hit the gym every
morning and those that mean to get there but rarely do is motivation:

the gym beckons. With summer in its waning days, and the fall back-to-school
season upon us, it's time for some tips to get our self-motivation mojo back in
First, a status
check. How self-motivated are you? This revealing quiz from Mindtools.com provides a chance to assess your
strengths and weaknesses.
If you feel in need
of a tune-up, here are a few tactics to help shape up your self-motivation
for inspiration? Check in with this wonderful Huffington Post piece from time
to time: How to Motivate Yourself: 21 Quotes to Help
You Refocus and Renew.

It will be a sad day for Greytown if - and when it would seem - the big Farley oak on West St is felled.
From latest reports the 150-year-old tree has lived its life and has been declared diseased and unlikely to survive.
That diagnosis has apparently convinced Greytown Community Board and its parent body, South Wairarapa District Council, to sign the oak's death warrant, despite photographs taken last week of the tree looking a bit lopsided, but leafy and green.
Greytown has, of course, the huge gum in the grounds of St Luke's Anglican Church.
There were rumblings in years past to deal to the gum but these were overcome partly because of public outrage over the very idea of dropping the eucalypt, stolen from the wheelbarrow of Samuel Oates many moons ago as the weary traveller sought relief for his thirst in the Rising Sun Hotel.
Saddest of all when the Farley oak goes will be the Farley family, one of the long-standing Greytown families who well recall the days when stud jersey cows grazed quietly under its umbrella.
Big trees are still a feature of Greytown but most of what could be termed enormous trees have gone, including the largest macrocarpa tree probably in the lower North Island, if not the country.
The enormous macrocarpa was felled in late 1962 by a team of professional tree-fellers who took about two weeks to trim off its massive limbs and deal to them before being able to tackle its trunk.
So big was the macrocarpa, which unfortunately grew in a part of the town that was developing as a housing area and had to go because it shaded the entire area, that it is rumoured to have taken 20 men linked with arms outstretched to go round its girth at ground level.
Fortunately the town is blessed with some excellent mature trees, particularly in the bush areas of Soldiers Memorial Park and the lines of lovely lime trees nearby, each planted in memory of a fallen World War I soldier from the district.
