Last year the first Airbus Market Survey in Latin America provided valuable insights on how airline executives in the region perceive market evolutions and fleet requirements. Airbus has just launched their 2014 Airbus Market Survey in Latin America.
In the 2013 results Airbus discovered that:
- Intra-regional connections was the top long term network development opportunity
- The market has a "very optimistic near-term outlook"
- Criteria for new aircraft is driven by fuel burn, revenue generation ability and fleet rationalization
- Airlines need to see savings of 15% to transition to same generation and 25% to transition to next generation
- Best age to replace aircraft is between 8-12 years or a 15-20% cost improvement
With that backdrop, let's look at this market. The table shows the regional fleet earlier this year. Over 77% of the fleet is narrow body (single aisle). This is why the intra-regional market shows up… Continue reading
In the business of buying airplanes, an airline will always seek the lowest cost. Just as they do with every other production input – lowest cost wins every time. So how is it that with the pending Azul order, "Boeing has not been given the opportunity to present a proposal for single-aisle airplanes"?
On the face of it, this looks like a selection that could not secure the lowest costs for Azul. How does this make sense? As an Azul shareholder you would want to be certain your company secured the lowest cost option. Let's go through some data points and thoughts to see if a pattern emerges.
Airbus wins the deal:
- Creative marketing on the side of Airbus.
- Driven by the fact the airline already committed to A330 and A350-900s
- Which offers common flight-deck ratings
- And, lets say it again, creative marketing. Volume… Continue reading
Airbus did something every aviation geek enjoys – they celebrated the end of their A350XWB flight test program with a special event. A formation flight by the program's test aircraft. Spectacular and wonderful.
Airbus has received EASA certification for the A350, which is now approved for flight. The first delivery to Qatar Airways is scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year. The A350 program had a much smoother development process than 787 or A380, and it appears that Airbus has learned from the experiences from previous programs in delivering the aircraft on schedule.
Although it is a boost for CEO Fabrice Bregier, we think it is an even prouder moment for program chief Didier Evrard . Look at the delays of recent new aircraft programs, and it is clear that Airbus' team did exceptionally well to have so few delays. The program looks to be the best EIS of any current development program. Remember this is a clean sheet design, not a derivative.
The program was managed by Evrard – and he managed it differently by taking a delay… Continue reading

On November 19, 2011, sixteen robotics teams from around the Midwest competed in the Geneseo VEX Gateway Classic in Geneseo, Illinois. They were challenged to design and build robots to play this year's VEX Robotics Competition game "Round Up". Played on a 12x12 foot foam tile field, the goal is to score plastic balls and barrels into goals made of PVC tubes. Each two-minute 20-second match starts with a twenty second autonomous period and finishes with a thirty second end game, in which special game pieces to either double or zero out points are introduced into play. On the field are "gates" to create different zones that are lifted during the match. Robots are controlled by student drivers, and alliances of two teams each play in every match. Since the game was released in late spring of 2011, teams have been working with their mentors and teachers to make competitive robots to bring to the tournament.
The VEX Robotics design system organizes competitions that inspire middle and high school students to learn more about science, technology, engineering, and math. There are over 3,500 teams from around the world in twenty different countries that participate in this competition. Students that are part of this program learn many skills that will not only teach them math and science, but also valuable life lessons, all while having fun.
Along with their alliance partner of team 3018, 1714B from MORE Robotics won first place, and qualified for the VEX Robotics National Championship in Omaha, Nebraska this March. The winners of that championship and other national championships around the world qualify for the World Championship held in Anaheim, California in April. Along with being tournament champions, 1714B also won the Judge's Award and Driver Skills Award.
This competition was the second appearance for MORE Robotics this season. On November 5 2011, 1714A, 1714B, and 1714C competed in the Fall VEX Robotics High School Challenge in Waukesha, Wisconsin. 1714C was named tournament champions and also qualified for the VEX Robotics National Championship. 1714B won the Judge's Award and Programming Skills Award at this event. They will be attending the National Championship this March.
MORE Robotics is a community robotics club that mentors elementary and high school students from the Milwaukee area. The team participates in several competitions including the FIRST Robotics Competition. FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, and promotes STEM education and the pursuit of careers in those fields.

We've Never Seen Lily Allen Like This Before
Lily Allen managed to keep things Safe For Work when she performed at City Rocks in London on Tuesday night while rocking a completely sheer vintage Pauline Trigère tank top. The singer avoided having a Kendall Jenner moment by covering herself up with nude-colored pasties and balanced out the sexy top with high-waisted black trousers.

Controlling The Message: India's Modi Chooses State Media
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has anointed India's state-backed broadcaster as his media brand of choice, helping shield his government from tough questions and prompting private news outlets to complain that they are being kept out of the loop. Starchy and unpolished, Doordarshan News and All India Radio were not the obvious choice for a government that took power in May after a high-octane election campaign that used special effects to beam Modi's image to rallies across the nation.

Both hit at the start of a week-long, half-term holidays in nearly half of Germany's 16 federal states. If it goes ahead it will be the eighth this year at Lufthansa as a dispute over an early retirement scheme drags on.

Texas Hospital Apologizes For 'Mistakes' In Ebola Treatment
The Dallas hospital where Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan was treated, and where two nurses who worked on him contracted the disease, apologized again for making mistakes — this time in a letter published via full-page ad in two local newspapers Sunday. The fact the Mr. Duncan had traveled to Africa was not communicated effectively, the letter, written by Texas Health Resources CEO Barclay Berdan, read. Texas Health Resources owns Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, where Duncan visited three days before he was admitted and diagnosed with Ebola. The letter said the hospital was searching for answers regarding why nurses Nina Pham and Amber Vinson also contracted the disease.

In a case of life imitating art, Birdman soared in its bicoastal debut for former Batman star Michael Keaton , who plays a washed-up superhero movie star trying to rehabilitate his career by launching a show on Broadway. The dark comedy, from director Alejandro Inarritu , grossed an estimated $415,000 from four theaters in New York and Los Angeles for a whopping screen average of $103,750, the best showing so far this year after Wes Anderson 's The Grand Budapest Hotel , which posted a record-breaking theater average of $202,792 earlier this year.

text: Failing LightsDawn UndefeatedDekorder I'll confess to never being totally bowled over by Failing Lights. Much of the project's output has felt like post-Wolf Eyes muck to me, possessing neither the frenetic, punk-informed energy of Hair Police (Mike Connelly's primary project) or the highly detailed electronic bewilderment of frequent collaborator Robert Beatty's Three Legged Race. However, with the release of a self-titled album on Intransitive Records in 2010, I began to second guess my initial appraisal. That album was possessing of a delicacy and tact that I hadn't previously associated with the project. I was intrigued then at the prospect of a new Failing Lights album for the Dekorder label, a quite curatorially consistent imprint, in my estimation. "Dawn Undefeated" is a focused affair, full of analog processing, chiming tones, pianos and tortured strings. Only briefly does it flirt with the type of crumbling, murky sound design that I'd previously associated with the project. The B-side in particular, a long suite of dynamic and engaging drones, twinkling keys and modulating static, proves well worth a listen. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia Source: experimedia.net failing lights dawn undefeated dekorder alex cobb review xs black-branches likes thiscoopercult likes thiswoundedgalaxies likes thisgacougnol reblogged this from experimediagacougnol likes thisaliceobsidian likes thisexperimedia posted this

3 Shakes/Smoothies You Need To Try Now
From Nutella concoctions to a shake spiked with alcohol, these are the best sweet slushy snacks in the county.
The 411: Many call this, the county's smallest city—approximately 15,000 residents live within its six square miles—its loveliest. And with good reason. This exclusive, picture-perfect community boasts an expansive Long Island Sound beachfront, excellent schools, and a quaint New England-like downtown shopping district complete with town square and dotted with high-end fashion boutiques, gift galleries, and its very own "Restaurant Row" of both fine-dining establishments and family eateries. Very much an old-fashioned small town in feel, Rye attracts plenty of Lily P-clad preppies with deep pockets as well as other upper-middle class families with its traditional, family-oriented ambiance. Its immaculately maintained homes—some of the region's most expensive—include everything from quaint Victorians and refurbished Cape Cods with charming white picket fences to historic, old-money estates tucked behind gates, many with spectacular water views. Rye is also home to the famed art deco Rye Playland amusement park, and its old-fashioned boardwalk, and the exclusive Rye Country Day School, alma mater of Barbara Bush. And while it has more than its fair share of private golf, yacht, and beach clubs, the city's own public Oakland Beach and Rye Golf Club, the latter featuring an 18-hole course, swimming pool, and historic castle for fine dining, are equal to them all—and at much more pleasing price points.

Today, we wrap up this series on 96 Ways to Go Green with a final post on green transportation tips. For the rest of the series, scroll down, And congratulations for taking steps to Go Green!
89. Instead of driving, use public transportation, ride a bike, or walk. Form a carpool to go to work or get kids to school.
90. Drive a hybrid or other fuel-efficient car. Cars with manual transmissions typically use less fuel than those with automatic transmissions.
91. Get rid of excess weight in your car (carry as little as possible in the trunk).
92. Buy radial tires and make sure they are inflated to the proper PSI.
93. Drive smoothly – avoid quick acceleration or hard braking to maximize fuel efficiency.
94. Try to run all your errands at once to minimize driving.
95. Share cars among family members.
96. Check your car for leaks and recycle motor oil.

A path forward for the Gulf Coast
Friday - 10/1/2010, 1:56pm EDT
This week Navy Secretary Ray Mabus released a report that calls for establishing a congressionally mandated Gulf Coast Restoration Task Force to coordinate federal, state and local actions to restore the Gulf after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The report focuses on three areas: the environment, the economy, and health and human services.
According to the Department of Energy website, "The overarching focus of all recommended actions is making sure we at the federal level can cut red tape and support local strategies, rather than the other way around."

Plus-Size Apparel Category Receives Little Attention
Fab Body Guide: The Body Image Battle
As models get skinnier, the average American gets larger. According to statistics, 62 percent of females in the US are overweight, so one would think that there would be a huge market for plus-size apparel. However, retailers are hesitant to cater to these customers because of the stigma it still carries. The battle between real-life beauty and ego has marketers in a tricky situation. "When a woman sees herself in the mirror, despite her size, she still thinks Angelina Jolie, not Jennifer Hudson," said retail consultant Emanuel Weintraub.
It's time to embrace real beauty and give Americans what they want: cute clothes that fit. Plus-size model Emme says it best: "When are retailers and manufacturers going to snap out of being narrow-minded and unable to see the enormous opportunity right under their noses? If they give a customer what she needs, wants and desires, she will be loyal for life." I second that notion.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Gentle, humble native leader who made history lies in state
It wasn't until she saw hundreds lining up at the Manitoba legislature on Monday afternoon to pay their respects to her grandfather that the magnitude of Elijah Harper's life hit 17-year-old Anna Harper.
"I knew he was important," said the Ottawa teen, taking photos of the young and the old, from different races and backgrounds, who came to honour the iconic aboriginal leader from Manitoba whose body lay in state.
"I didn't know he had such an impact," Anna said. "I know another side of him -- like eating turkey with him at Thanksgiving and watching the hockey game."
Her grandfather was an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan, she said.
A statement his family released on Friday said Elijah Harper died in Ottawa from cardiac failure related to complications from diabetes.
His body lay in state Monday afternoon, and a memorial service was held Monday evening at the Glory and Peace Church on Main Street.
A burial service will take place Thursday in Red Sucker Lake where Harper was born and was once chief of the Ojibwa-Cree Red Sucker Lake First Nation.
His most famous and longest-lasting legacy came in June 1990, when he held up an eagle feather in the Manitoba legislature and said "no" to allowing the Meech Lake accord to come to a vote in the house. The vote required unanimous consent and Harper's opposition is recognized as one of the factors that killed the constitutional amendments being pushed by then-prime minister Brian Mulroney.
He was named The Canadian Press newsmaker of the year in 1990 for his vote and in 1991 received the Stanley Knowles Humanitarian Award. The moment was later immortalized in the CTV movie Elijah, released in 2007.
"He's a man I look up to," said James Harper, 18, a distant nephew who was an extra in the movie that was filmed in Manitoba, including scenes inside the legislature.
"One action had a profound impact. It was helpful for all indigenous people across Canada."
Alex Thomas, 15, from Red Sucker Lake, read about his uncle Elijah in a social studies book.
"I just want to be like him. He was a good person," Thomas said, standing across from his uncle's open casket draped with the Manitoba flag and a ceremonial headdress.
The flag of the Island Lake Tribal Council was draped over top of the closed casket and the Manitoba flag at the memorial Monday night.
Monday at the legislature, Assembly of First Nations Chief Shawn Atleo paid his respects, as well as Manitoba Grand Chief Derek Nepinak.
Nepinak said Elijah Harper taught a very valuable lesson.
"Once in awhile, it's OK for indigenous people to say no," said Nepinak. "... No matter how difficult and how unpopular a decision might be, with respect to such profound processes as constitutional reform paving way for future generations of our people.
"If they're not inclusive of indigenous perspectives or a respectful process to create legitimacy in a future Canadian Constitution, then we're going to have to say no. I think we're already seeing some of that legacy play itself out."
Justice Murray Sinclair, who led the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, waited in line with hundreds of others to sign guest books set up at two tables.
The wait in line was so long, Viola Ross's bad knees forced her to find a bench.
"He stood for us people of Canada," said Gods River resident Ross, 56, who was at the legislature with her husband and grandchildren, aged 12 and six. She wanted her grandkids to remember the man to whom hundreds paid tribute. She remembered meeting him at a gathering on reserve when Harper was a campaigning politician.
"I don't think he had any enemies. I think he was a nice man," she said.
Elijah Harper's daughter was feeling the love for her father Monday at the legislature.
"It's quite overwhelming," said Holly Harper. "I was so glad to see so many people come.
"We still have to take him home and knowing that people are sending prayers and thinking of us means a lot," she said as traditional drummers and singers performed in the background at the legislature.
"He's had a great, positive effect on people. He's mentored and been a role model for so many. He's one of the first aboriginal people to speak up for our rights to be recognized."
Hundreds of mourners from across the city, the province and Canada lined up to pay their final respects at the legislature where the body of Elijah Harper lies in state.

Fall 2012
Rag & Bone
February 10, 2012
Location: New York
The Vibe for Fall 2012
Heavy-duty winter-wear for the 21st-century Victorian. Rag & Bone brings its arsenal to bear on a fall collection that runs the spectrum from rugged to elegant to just plain evil. Whether it's a leather-collared, knee-length cable knit cardigan, a charcoal shearling-collared topcoat, or a herringbone suit covered in a swirling gradient blend of midnight black and blood crimson, every piece oozes a militaristic, villainous sense of drama. However, with its muted palette and seamless material matching, it's complex but never conflicted, and the result is a swirl of industrial influences: steampunk with a dash of mod, Professor Moriarty meets Quadrophenia.

Promoting volunteerism can help with workers' satisfaction
Alarms are starting to sound in companies nationwide as the economy improves.
Employers are nervous that as the job market begins to recover, more workers will jump ship. And even if employees aren't looking for another job, recruiters are actively pursuing "passive" candidates — those not looking for work. And that also adds to the concern.
Some employers seem flummoxed about what to do.
LAST YEAR: Companies still had far to go
MORE ON THE JOB: Anita Bruzzese's column index
Money concerns keep them from giving large pay raises to hang onto key workers. Offering benefits such as flextime or telework holds appeal for some workers, but others are so burned out and disillusioned with their current employers, who may have laid off employees during the downturn, that they yearn for something more meaningful.
Because staffs are already lean, the thought of workers wanting to leave is enough to keep many managers awake at night.
But one new survey may offer information that could help employers not only hang onto key talent but recruit new workers as well.
A Deloitte survey found that when young workers volunteer, they are twice as likely to say their corporate culture is very positive, are more likely to be proud of their work at their company, are more likely to feel loyal to their employer, and are more likely to recommend their organization to a friend.
Evan Hochberg, national leader of Deloitte's community-involvement initiative, says the survey specifically looked at younger workers since "they are our future work force and we wanted to note their expectations."
But these findings underscore what Hochberg says he sees in all age groups: Employees who volunteer often are more engaged and happy at work.
However, for millennials the need to volunteer is in their DNA, Hochberg says.
"These are kids that have grown up with school systems that required community participation," he says. "They've grown up with 9/11 and (Hurricane) Katrina. They want to roll up their sleeves and make a difference."
Companies recognizing such a desire will not only be in a better position to retain key talent in the years to come but also to recruit those who have similar values, he says.
"To me, the biggest takeaway is that companies that don't appreciate the connection between volunteering and employee engagement are really leaving value on the table," Hochberg says. "A volunteer strategy must be a meaningful component of a recruitment and retention strategy."
But employers must pay more than lip service to employees volunteering in their communities and must set up policies and programs to support such efforts, he says. Companies can establish time-off policies for volunteer efforts or compensate employees while they're volunteering.
"These employees want to see the companies they work for believing in the things they believe in. It's a huge component of their satisfaction. It can't be just some do-gooder initiative on the side," he says.
One way Deloitte uses volunteerism to attract key talent is through an alternative spring-break program, where college students head to stressed areas of the country to offer their help.
Hochberg says that the program is run by the company's recruiting department because it's seen as a key way to not only attract future talent to Deloitte but also as a way for the company to see potential hires in action.
About 85 spots open each year for the program, but Hochberg says Deloitte gets about 1,400 applications annually from across the country.
At the same time, these millennials are savvy enough to know their volunteerism can pay off in other ways. In the Deloitte survey, millennials say that they're motivated by more than their passion to change the world; 51% report they also want to benefit professionally from their volunteer efforts.
Hochberg says the survey shows that employers who ignore young employees' desire for volunteerism may pay a heavy price.
"Look, it's clear that if companies want workers who are more satisfied, loyal and engaged, then they've got to offer them volunteer opportunities," he says. "Companies have got to integrate this whole area within an organization and connect it to what the company is all about."

Great accent lighting
Craig from Erwinna, PA
We installed bed light under our bed. It works great. Was easy to install and nicely lights the room when one of us gets up at night - without waking the other. We are now looking to add one in the bathroom as well as basement steps and garage. So convenient to have the light turn on automatically when we walk in the room.

This section of the tune points out the range of associations that the word "gay" has to children, who may not even associate it with sex. Later in the tune, he decries using the word "gay" pejoratively.
These lines also serve to let the audience know that Macklemore is an ally, not actually LGBTQ himself, lest there was confusion.

As Mother's Day approaches, the political scene makes me think of an old spiritual: "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child."
HOLLYWOOD--God bless America, and how's everybody?
President Obama's new "religious tolerance" consultant to the Pentagon, Mikey Weinstein, wants Christian military service members who openly talk about their faith in uniform to be charged with treason, which is a crime punishable by death according to military law.
Get this: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to ban the sale of cigarettes - now legal to people at age 18 - to people younger than 21.
Even back in 1980 when George "The Possum" Jones received a Grammy Award, I regarded him as an old fogey who should step aside for the younger set, such as, well, um, Kenny Rogers.
President Obama receives reports that 20 children and 6 adults have been murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School and decides the country needs national standards for gun accessories to protect our children. Limit ammunition capacities for rifle magazines. Outlaw triggers and stocks on rifles that look like pistols. Push for legislation requiring all law-abiding citizens to go through background checks and have the information stored for future reference.
F. Scott Fitzgerald famously uttered, "There are no second acts in American lives," but bless his heart, the besotted scribe seems blissfully unaware of the loophole large enough to taxi a C-130 through that exists for American politicians. These people are as indomitable as a mule falling off a bridge. More oblivious than a blind tortoise humping a rock. Limber like a deboned eel.
The beautiful Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Center for Public Affairs in Simi Valley, Calif., was the last place I expected to be reminded of the violence that paralyzed the city of Boston last week and turned it into a mini-Baghdad.
There are times when the words "never" and "always" are the only ones that work. In my case, "never" is becoming the word I must use to describe how I feel about certain candidates for high office. For example, I voted four times for a Bush and once for a McCain - something I will never do again.
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
When James French became the last person to be executed in 1966 under Oklahoma's death penalty law, he uttered these famous last words (no joke) that quickly belong to the ages: "Hey fellas," he shouted to reporters there to witness his electrocution. "How about this for a headline for tomorrow's paper? 'French Fries!'"
Proms sure have gotten expensive these days.
Riveted to our screens, we learned last week of the enormous value of social media and surveillance video when tragedy strikes. But -- and this second point is as significant as the first -- we were also reminded of the importance of established, well-funded, conventional media, without which the big picture would have had gaping holes.
What if you had to choose between making insurance more affordable for Americans with pre-existing conditions or funding lobbyists and political hacks? That's the decision the House will face when it considers H.R. 1549, the Helping Sick Americans Now Act, sponsored by Rep. Joe Pitts of Pennsylvania. It should be an easy choice.
Poor, sappy Charlie Brown. Year after year, Lucy promises that she will not yank away the football as Charlie tries to kick it. "This time I really mean it," Lucy assures him, but as we all know, it is a trick.
According to Forbes magazine, at least 5,000 Americans contacted healthcare providers fearful they had contracted Ebola after the media reported that someone with Ebola had entered the United States. All 5,000 cases turned out to be false alarms. In fact, despite all the hype about Ebola generated by the media and government officials, as of this writing there has only been one preliminarily identified case of someone contracting Ebola within the United States.
The head of the FBI says a terrorist attack may be coming.
When you visit Brooklyn, you have to be amazed at the number of stoops.
John Landis's "Trading Places" is one of the 1980s' most fondly remembered comedies. There is far more to its story than frozen orange juice, however.

Historical Traveler Reviews Lumley Castle Hotel Durham
I intended to book here for a special occasion, (I was looking to book a large number of rooms and a function suite), but found the advise and help I got via my email correspondance so appaling that I booked elsewhere.
To me first impressions are everything, and if a hotel of this supposed standard and cost can't even respond to a couple of email queries properly then I don't waste my time offering them my business!
Too dark for us!
We stayed in this hotel in a courtyard room for two nights which was well appointed but frightingly small and dark. We had some trouble putting away our suitcases because of the lack of space. Furthermore, inside the Castle (corridors, public space) it was also very, very dark (the meeting rooms do not have windows at all!).
Breakfast was good, and most of the staff were friendly and on the outside the castle and the courtyard looked very picturesque. Nevertheless, we will not return there: it's way too dark for us!
Wonderful .......treat yourselves!
We were treated to a night here, with dinner in the black knight resturant, by my mother for my husbands birthday, and it was wonderful. She treated us to the king James Suite which comprised of a living room with Tv, dvd, video and tea/coffee making equipment. there were also a selection of boxed games. A bathroom with wirlpool bath and shower. A sink room complete with tiny narrow arrow shooting windows, seperate toilet off the bed room and a fabulous bedroom with giant 20 foot 4 poster bed and cathedral ceilings. Included in the package she booked, in the living room we had a bottle of champange, flowers and chocolates and a bottle of mead. The hotel also did a turn down servise, and the bins were emptied and used cups/glasses replaced while we were at dinner.
It was fantastic, a beautiful romantic hotel. You have to go and see for yourself!.
I would highly recommend this hotel if you would like to stay in an authentic medieval castle that was renovated by Vanbrough. The service was unfailingly helpful and polite. I felt that the porter really deserved his tip after uncomplainingly carrying our luggage up the twisting medieval staircases! Stay in the Castle itself, rather than the extension in the converted stables if you want the best Castle atmosphere (although I imagine the extension is fine). The decoration, although slightly eccentric (maids in Victorian caps etc) made a change from the frequent blandness of hotel interiors. I particularly liked the old books, and found a fascinating children's History of England by Dickens that I am now trying to find again to buy. And of course the bathrooms are not medieval - we had a large one with a comfortable Victorian style bath. It is not too far from Durham Cathedral if you have a car which is definitely worth a visit.All in all, highly recommended.
Awsome place to stay!
I treated myself to a stay at this wonderfully medieval castle and was not dissappointed! I had one of the castle feature rooms (worth the extra tarriff) - four poster bed all decked in rich burgundy fabrics, inset windows with heavy drapes, oak panelling, claw foot tub and period furniture. Amazing! The service was superb. If your looking for that "castle" experience, stay here!
Amazing place to stay
My partner and I stayed at Lumley Castle in December 2003. In a word: amazing. This really isn't an ordinary place to stay. Sitting imposingly high on a hill near Chester-le-Street, Durham it certainly looks the part and doesn't fail to deliver. The castle is immaculately turned out- all deep reds, velvet, and oak-panelled walls. Once you enter the reception area you immediately realise this is something special- the atmosphere is a wonderful (and possibly unique) combination of medieval yet luxurious surroundings. The hotel is full of dimly-lit corridors and winding staircases which may or may not lead you to the wonderful library-come bar in which friendly and polite staff seem only too happy to assist. If this were not enough, the staff all dress in period costume. Corny? Not at all- it all just seems to fit somehow.
We stayed in a castle double room which was sumptiously furnished, again with deep cosy colours and those wonderful oak-panelled walls. A little on the small side, perhaps, but size isn't everything when you consider where you're staying. The restaurant was first-class, both dinner and breakfast superb, breakfast in particular was outstanding, with everything you could possibly want. Ok, this is NOT a cheap place to stay, but as far as we're concerned it's worth every penny and we plan to go back this year. Overall a place to stay that you'll be talking about for years afterwards.
Put simply... WOW! Never stayed in a more amazing hotel than this... Ideal for business conferences or romantic weekends away.
Chillingly medieval
An old castle, with all the charm and spookiness you would expect.
There are rooms out in the courtyard which are nice and comfortable, but are not actually in the castle. Get a castle room if possible, they come in all shapes and sizes..with heavy curtains, deep medieval colours and old artifacts in the corridors. Our room was up a narrow spiral stair case. Breakfasts are superb, definately worth the visit.
Very handy if you are coming to durham cricket ground, just over the road.
Period Elegance
Excellent hotel set within beautiful castle and grounds, sympathetically furnished. Steeped in history and good food and wine.
Best hotel in area by far.

Why Nothing Makes Me Happier
I'm not sure what it is that compels me to travel, but "compels" seems to be the right word for it: something seemingly outside my very self drives, pushes, makes necessary. When I first went abroad, at the numerical age of twenty but the life experience age of far younger, I felt the urge to see new things, to experience everything this world has to offer. This seemed as necessary to me as breathing, and utterly confusing to an impressionable young woman. ...

Haswell Debuts: Intel Core i7-4770K Review
Regular TechSpot readers will have no doubt spotted several mentions of Haswell on our front page this year. In the past few months we have covered everything from model names to performance and battery life claims. A key focus has been Haswell's graphics, with rumors suggesting its performance is set to be 2 to 3 times that of current HD 4000 integrated graphics.
So what is Haswell exactly? It is Intel's 4th generation Core architecture which will see a major refresh of the entire Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 product lineup in 2013. Whereas last year's Ivy Bridge was a "tick" release, Haswell is a tock and traditionally that's meant a more significant advance forward.

AMD A4-5000 Review: The affordable ultraportable APU
In 2006 AMD announced 'Fusion', a project aimed to develop a system on a chip that combined a CPU and GPU on a single die. Fast forward to this day, AMD has taken things a step further with Kabini, the first ever quad-core x86-based SoC.
AMD are releasing their first Kabini based processors today with the launch of the A6-5200 and the A4-5000. The A4-5000 that we are reviewing features four Jaguar cores clocked at 1.5GHz, a total L2 cache of 2MB, and the Radeon HD 8330 GPU on-die.

The History of the Modern Graphics Processor, Part 4: The Coming of General Purpose GPUs
With DX10's arrival, vertex and pixel shaders maintained a large level of common function, so moving to a unified shader arch eliminated a lot of unnecessary duplication of processing blocks. The first GPU to utilize this architecture was Nvidia's iconic G80.
Four years in development and $475 million produced a 681 million-transistor, 484mm² behemoth -- first as the 8800 GTX flagship and then with cards aimed at several segments. Aided by the new Coverage Sample anti-aliasing (CSAA) algorithm, Nvidia saw its GTX demolish every single competitor in outright performance.
The History of the Modern Graphics Processor, Part 3: The Nvidia vs. ATI era begins
With the turn of the century the graphics industry bore witness to further consolidation. Where 3dfx was once a byword for raw performance, its strengths before its dismissal laid in its full screen antialiasing image quality. By the time 2001 dawned, the PC graphics market consisted of a discrete card duopoly (Nvidia and ATI), with both of them in addition to Intel supplying the vast majority of integrated graphics chipsets.
Prior to the Voodoo 5's arrival, ATI had announced the Radeon DDR as "the most powerful graphics processor ever designed for desktop PCs." Previews of the card had already gone public on April 25, and only twenty-four hours later Nvidia countered with the announcement of the GeForce 2 GTS (GigaTexel Shader).

The History of the Modern Graphics Processor, Part 2: 3Dfx Voodoo, the game-changer
Launched on November 1996, 3Dfx's Voodoo graphics consisted of a 3D-only card that required a VGA cable pass-through from a separate 2D card to the Voodoo, which then connected to the display. Voodoo Graphics revolutionized personal computer graphics nearly overnight and rendered many other designs obsolete, including a vast swathe of 2D-only graphics producers.
The 3D landscape in 1996 favoured S3 with around 50% of the market. That was to change soon, however. It was estimated that 3Dfx accounted for 80-85% of the 3D accelerator market during the heyday of Voodoo's reign. Later on Nvidia would revive with the RIVA series and eventually land their greatest success with the first GeForce graphics card.
The History of the Modern Graphics Processor, Part 1
The evolution of the modern graphics processor begins with the introduction of the first 3D add-in cards in 1995, followed by the widespread adoption of the 32-bit operating systems and the affordable personal computer.
While 3D graphics turned a fairly dull PC industry into a light and magic show, they owe their existence to generations of innovative endeavour. Over the next few weeks we'll be taking an extensive look at the history of the GPU, going from the early days of 3D consumer graphics, to the 3Dfx Voodoo game-changer, the industry's consolidation at the turn of the century, and today's modern GPGPU.
