"Magical place for the kids, parents and grandparents to relax and have fun!…"
What an amazing, welcoming and magical place. Coombe Mill farm is. Within 10 minutes of arriving and unpacking, my 4 year old son and 22 month old daughter were running through the fairy garden, bouncing on the trampolines, climbing on the pirate ship, chasing each other around the train track and playing pooh sticks on the bridge, and that was pretty much the way it stayed for the next week!
We stayed in the spacious Willow Cottage, which is lovely and was big enough to cater for us and the kids Granelf (Grandad) without getting on top of each other. For the early mornings and wind down hour, the upstairs children's playroom was a great help and they loved it, especially the wooden train set. The fact that it had the wooden stair gates, was a huge bonus to ensure that our wandering pair wouldn't have any issues on the stairs.
Both our Son and Daughter loved the daily morning feed runs, especially when it came to handing over the scraps of food for the pigs, the stroking of the little chicks, feeding the chickens and the deer hunt! The egg hunting was equally as exciting, though I don't know who enjoyed it more, the parents or the kids! Farmer Nick was exceptional with our kids (and all of the kids) and never got tired of answering questions. Our youngest also got to drive the tractor, which she thoroughly enjoyed! They also couldn't wait for the enjoying train ride, although my son did get a little trigger happy with the signal, making it stop and go several times over!
The farm itself is ideally placed to easily explore, with Bodmin, Padstow, Tintagel, Eden Project and St Ives all easily accessible. My father in law enjoyed the daily walk up and down the hill to St Breward for his daily paper and top of food!
We relaxed so much during our stay, and got to focus on just enjoying ourselves without the stresses and worries of work. The hardwork that Nick, Fiona and her Children have put into Coombe Mill has certainly paid off and we enjoyed every minute of it and have certainly recommended to our friends and family.Read moreLess

"Relaxing, family friendly and a magical place for kids…"
When you arrive at Coombe Mill and within minutes your extremely shy and reserved 5 year old is running around and having fun, you know you've hit gold.
I'd wanted to visit the farm for a couple of years and was really hoping it lived up to expectations. I wasn't disappointed. We stayed in the spacious Honeysuckle Cottage, enjoyed evenings (in a cold March/April week) watching the fire in the wood burner, after a day of fun filled activities. The upstairs childrens playroom was a great bonus and I liked the wooden stair gates for reassurance that if my son woke up in the night, he wouldn't have any issues on the stairs.
The daily morning feedrun and evening train rides are free and are not to be missed. My son loved both, and happily left me watching on as he enjoyed all the fun. He hung on every word as Farmer Nick told the children about the animals, what they ate and how to care for them.
There are plenty of places on site to keep the kids amused. My son and his 4 year old buddy loved the indoor play area at the end of a busy day.
The farm itself is ideally placed to easily explore North Cornwall - Padstow, Tintagel, Eden Project are all readily accessible.
We relaxed so much during our stay, which is unusual for both my workaholic husband and my little boy, which meant I could totally chill out too. Since we've come home I've said to friends - you drive down this country land and something magical happens, it's called Coombe Mill, and I stand by that. We made so many memories during our week, I'd have no hesitation in recommending the accomodation, facilities and location to other families.Read moreLess

"Magical holiday for families…"
I have recently returned from my second trip to Coombe Mill and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
I drove down to Cornwall with two of my children (15 & 3 years old) and was instantly welcomed on arrival. Our accommodation was spacious, comfortable, clean and well thought out. The bedrooms have plenty of storage, the stairs have strong stair gates and the bathrooms are spacious.
The feed run in the mornings is truly amazing. Farmer Nick educates the children about farm life... his insight is incredibly interesting and heart felt. It is amazing to watch children, who are normally shy and withdrawn running around caring for the animals and driving the tractor.
The owners have put their heart and soul into Coombe Mill and it shows. Nothing is too much effort.
There are lots of things to do around farm. Indoor soft play, outdoor play areas, a nature trail, fairy garden, train ride and the Friday activity hour.
Coombe Mill is a working farm, which has a steam running through it. The children can play in the stream and it is not cordoned off. I find it refreshing... it reminds me of my carefree childhood, where children can be children and play freely. As such, parents have the opportunity to watch their children flourish and grow away from screens, stress and social media.
I've already booked for 2016!Read moreLess

"A family holiday that makes you feel part of the family…"
I'll start with the conclusion, just in case you don't click the "read more" button: we love Coombe Mill, and can't recommend it enough!
The first time we visited Coombe Mill, we weren't completely sure what to expect; we had been looking for a quality family holiday in one of the nicest parts of the country, but there's only so much you can tell from a website. There are always doubts going to a new place with a three-year-old but we felt confident enough to try it out.
The site is entered via a slow and steady downhill lane off the main Camelford to Bodmin road (take note – don't try and cut across from the A30!), with the first view being of two of the cottages; Two Chimneys on one side, Tree Roots on the other. Pulling into the car park gives you a further view of the other cottages.
We were staying in one of the Scandinavian lodges, which are almost TARDIS-like once you are inside; our first stay, Trebah, had a very open feel with the kitchen, dining and living areas being in the front half, stretching all the way to the roof. The two bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, were also spacious with the main bedroom big enough for a 6ft wide bed. Up the gated staircase, the roof area above the bedrooms was given over to a playroom full of toys that we were more than happy for our son to play with.
The lodges also each include a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, plus ironing board and iron. The last thing anyone wants to do when they get home is start sorting out the washing; this way, most of it can be out of the way before you even leave! Other items that we needed – blackout blinds, bed guard and a booster seat – were waiting for us when we arrived, and high chairs are also available if requested.
However, Coombe Mill is about more than just accommodation. The daily feed run takes the children – and adults - all around the farm for a good 90 minutes helping to tend the various ponies, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep and deer that take over the majority of the land. Farmer Nick also allows the children to help drive the tractor on each part of the run, so over the course of the week each child gets at least 2 or 3 turns behind the wheel!
(We've stayed in another farm whose feed run was 15 minutes handing out seeds to chickens, ducks and sheep. Quite simply, there's no comparison!)
Nick and Fiona's children also help out on the farm and at 5pm each day one or more of them can be found running the farm's daily train service. Designed for children (although adults can accompany them) it's only a small track that takes all of two minutes to complete but helps bring the families together.
And "family" is the best way to summarise Coombe Mill. The facilities really encourage a friendly and family atmosphere. There are two large open BBQs and an enclosed BBQ hut large enough for 10, mini-raft-racing (in warmer weather) and large enclosed play areas for the children to play together; it's not uncommon for arrangements to be made to visit the same week the following year, just for the camaraderie.
We've stayed at Coombe Mill four times now, with our fifth visit coming up this summer; our son will be six by then, and can't wait. We went for a family holiday; we left feeling like part of the family.Read moreLess

"Perfect getaway with young children & friends…"
We stayed in the recently built tree roots cottage as a group of three families (6 adults, 4 children & 2 toddlers.) Fiona was great and ensured all the bed guards, cots and high chairs where in place for when we arrived. We expected travel cots without linen but the babes had a proper wooden cot with mattresses already covered.
The cottage is modern with plenty of space for all of us to have our own space without getting in each others way. There are three bathrooms upstairs so we always had our own space. The stair gates are custom built and really sturdy. There is enough cutlery/ crockery and children's plates that you don't need to take anything with you.
The rooms were bigger than we expected form the photo's and the beds in king rooms were huge and very comfortable. The quad room had full sized single beds and the children still had floor space and storage.
The hot tub was a welcomed extra and we made use of it every evening once the kids were in bed. The large table was big enough to fit us all in comfortably.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the mornings feed runs and loved the fact we could go back to fields and wonder with the animals as we pleased. The kids all looked forward to the train ride and there were plenty of smiles and laughter through out.
The lakes and river and beautiful and perfect for burning off steam before dinner. There is a bbq undercover near the play park which we made use.
We are already planning our next trip and can't wait to go back!Read moreLess

"Best holiday yet!…"
Perfect, perfect holiday if you have children in tow. It's a unique experience with so much for the kids to do onsite and in the local areas. The farm family are so welcoming you feel like you're going home!
We thoroughly enjoyed the feed run each morning and the Coombe Mill train each afternoon too. So many new experiences, beautiful sights and brand new friendships.
The lodge we stayed in was fantastic, everything we needed to make it a home from home. Our daughter's favourite bit was the ginormous toy and fun filled play room upstairs. Our favourite bit was the terrace overlooking the valley where we could relax to the sound of the river Camel in an evening.
I really couldn't recommend this place more. We visited last week and have already made moves to go again in 2 years time!Read moreLess

"Perfect relaxing family getaway…"
We've stayed at Coombe Mill three times, and we're returning in a few weeks time for our fourth holiday there.
There are three different types of accommodation at Coombe Mill; the Riverside Lodges (1960s style wooden chalets) which are the budget option, and then stone cottages or Scandinavian lodges, both on a par with each other when comparing budgets.
We've stayed in three of the Scandinavian lodges, Trebah and Trevarno (which have two bedrooms and sleep four), and Heligan (which has four bedrooms and sleeps seven).
Both Trevarno and Trebah have a family bathroom, and a master bedroom with an ensuite. Heligan has two twin bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom to the ground floor, and a large master bedroom with an ensuite to the first floor. Trebah and Trevarno have a playden in the loft space in addition to the large living area downstairs.
The holiday accommodation is excellent with plentiful cooking utensils etc in the kitchen, and luxurious cotton bedding. The kitchen also has a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, microwave, oven, toaster etc.
Extras can be hired out (some are free of charge) and include cots, bed-guards, black-out blinds, high-chairs or booster seats. The owner really has thought of everything a family would need to make their holiday easier, including stair-gates at the top and bottom of the stairs.
The accommodation is wonderful in itself, let alone the facilities offered on the farm. There are two play-park areas (one with a zipwire, medium wooden fortress and slide, the other is a pirate ship), an indoor soft-play barn, a ride-along car selection with a road system (enclosed), a gym for adults, and various barbeque stations including an indoor barbeque hut. There is also a daily train ride around the main lawn.
However, the biggest draw has to be the daily feed-run! Every morning (from Sunday - Friday) the guests gather in the car park and the children board the trailer pulled by a tractor. Farmer Nick enlists the help of the children in turn to drive the tractor through the woods, the ford and the mud to the animals, where everyone disembarks and feeds the chickens, Indian runner ducks, wallabies, pigs, goats, sheep, donkeys, horses and deer. The deer field is one of the most magnificent sights I've ever seen.
Coombe Mill is a family farm holiday, that means both for families and run by a family. The Coombe Mill family are incredibly welcoming and helpful, the children are an asset to the way that the farm runs and are always welcoming to new play mates.
* Towels will need to be taken;
* Electricity is on a meter-system which takes £1 coins;
* The log-burner can be hired out for a week's use and is a complete bonus! We would light it late afternoon for a few hours, and it was enough to heat the entire lodge for the evening and night, we didn't use the heaters in each room.
* Asda and Tesco both deliver groceries to the site; I highly recommend booking a slot for late Saturday afternoon and relaxing in the knowledge that you don't need to spend an hour of your life in the supermarket while on holiday!Read moreLess

I wasn't sure it would live up to the hype,but it really did. Accomodation was just lovely, we only went out on 2 of the 7 days because there was so much to do. My kids had a ball and we did too. Peaceful and friendly I would recommend it to anyone.Read moreLess

"our best family holiday EVER…"
spent last week at Coombe Mill on our 1st visit, and already planning the next. This holiday has to be the best family holiday we have ever taken, the various activities on offer suited all of our children - they all loved the morning feed run and the tractor ride and my 4yo son has not stopped talking about how many times he got to drive the tractor. The weather was wet and miserable for several of the days we were there, but the rain always seemed to stop the minute we were doing the feed runs. The children loved getting in with and feeding the animals, and when that was over, they headed to the various play areas or the indoor play area to have some fun with their new found friends. The accommodation was really well appointed with everything available that you might need depending on the age of your children - the reception area has waterproof all in ones and spare wellies as well as buckets, spades, nets, maps - actually it's an Aladdin's cave of "holidaying with children" necessities! We loved so much about Coombe Mill, and the only thing I didn't like was having to leave at the end of the week's stay ;) Fiona and Nick and family are amazing hosts - can't wait to see them again the next time we head back down to CornwallRead moreLess

"Fantastic place for families…"
This is such a wonderful place to visit. It has everything a child (and their parents) could possibly wish for! There's enough on site to entertain everyone from indoor (honestly!) and outdoor BBQ's to play areas for younger and older children, plus a river, not to mention the train and the farm animals. It's a beautiful setting too. Highly recommend.Read moreLess

"The best place I've ever stayed in the UK…"
Set in 30 acres of beautiful, secluded woodland, Coombe Mill really is a haven for families with children of all ages. We stayed at the Water Mill (sleeps 7), a beautiful cottage, converted from the original 16th century water mill. The accommodation has everything you need for a home from home stay including microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, a decent hair dryer and WIFI.
A stay at Coombe Mill really is whatever you want it to be. My girls would have been happy if we hadn't moved all week. (They actually complained every time we did leave).
There's so much to do on site, from the daily farm feed runs to splashing around in the river and grooming the donkeys. They also had the freedom to roam around the site and at 9 and 11 they LOVE Coombe Mill.
For a family of tech addicts, we actually, truly spent a week offline and I for one, feel totally refreshed. Coombe Mill does that. It takes you back to nature, offers your children those basic outdoor experiences that we had as kids and as much as my kids love their iPads, they have barely touched them all week. This makes me happy.
I've stayed in many places in Cornwall over the years and Coombe Mill is by far the best. I wish that I'd discovered it before now because I know we'd have had many more awesome UK holidays to clock up next to this one. BUT, now we have discovered it, we have already booked to return.
If you're looking for a family holiday in the UK, I cannot recommend anything more highly. Coombe Mill simply rocks.
Take a look at www.coombemill.com for their official information.Read moreLess

"Perfect family holiday…"
My family and I just spent a week at Coombe Mill and we would highly recommend it. We stayed in a Scandavian lodge which had a playroom full of toys. The lodge was modern, new, felt spacious and was tastefully decorated. The farm is located in a pretty valley, and is ideally located to explore Cornwall. The daily food run with farmer Nick to feed the animals was a real treat. My elder daughter helped to drive the tractor which she loved. There are several outdoor play areas for the children at Coombe Mill; one of which is a new large pirate ship, which was wonderful. They even have an indoor soft play barn for wet weather days. The owners of Coombe Mill have six of their own children, so they clearly know a thing or two about entertaining little ones. We were sad to leave, and will be booking again.Read moreLess

"Idyllic place for kids to experience nature, and splosh in muddy puddles…"
This was our 4th trip to Coombe Mill and was fantastic. Every time we go we're impressed by the new additions Fiona and Nick have added. This year a pirate ship playground, trampoline and miniature railway, and despite the rain there were no moments of boredom.
It's brilliantly located in a dingly bluebell dell, with a gorgeous gurgling stream running through it, we spotted a kingfisher this time) & ideally located to explore North or South Cornwall should you get itchy feet.
Back in 2014!Read moreLess

"The perfect family friendly holiday…"
I stayed at Coombe Mill with my husband and 3 boys (ages 6, 5 and 2) at the beginning of October and we had an amazing time. We stayed in a Scandinavian Lodge which was stunning, and huge! It had everything we needed - washing machine, dryer, and even a cot and highchair if you need them. The accommodation is immaculate and very clean.
Whatever isn't available in your accommodation is probably available to borrow from reception. I saw wellies, potties, books and games so there is no need to pack the car up too much. They also provide bread, milk and homemade meals that you can buy .
There's lots to do at Coombe Mill - feed the animals, play in the fantastic children's play areas (indoor or outdoor) - my oldest loved the zipwire and it was hard to get my middle boy out of the pirate ship . There's a trampoline, swings, bikes, trikes and cars. The children loved it.
There's lots of outdoor barbecue areas but also a fantastic indoor one, so you can enjoy a barbecue whatever the weather.
Coombe Mill is also the perfect place from which to explore the North Cornwall Coast and we had some great days out at Port Isaac, Polzeath and Padstow. It's a beautiful area with lots of do.
This was our first visit but we will definitely be returning. Coombe Mill is a perfect family friendly holiday and the owners are so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it to anyone.Read moreLess

"Holiday Magic!…"
Finding a holiday that allows us, as parents a break, and keeps a 4 year old and a 12 year old happy is a challenge in itself!
Coombe Mill is set in a beautiful valley in North Cornwall. Whilst offering self-catering holiday breaks ideal for families, the highlight for all of us has to be working farm. There are bunnies, chickens, geese, wallabies, peacocks, pigs, deer, donkeys, goats, alpacas, ponies, sheep and the best bit, the kids can get as hands on as they want! As well as the animals, there is a daily tractor and trailor ride and play areas (both indoor and out), a badminton/volleyball court and much much more. For the adults there are outdoor BBQRead moreLess

Just come back after our 8th stay at Coombe Mill! This year I had to give the kids a walkie talkie to get them back for their tea. Its the only place I am comfortable to give my kids the freedom I enjoyed as a kid. For the second year on the trot we had blistering weather and didn't do any of the wet weather stuff we had planned (there is so much of it to do). A truly idyllic place and I simply cannot recommend it highly enough.Read moreLess

"Great fun for kids and base to see lovely Cornwall…"
Coombe Mill was a wonderful place for us to go on holiday. The feed run in the morning for kids was brilliant - feeding and collecting the eggs, driving round on the tractor have all been remembered by my little girl. I like that Coombe Mill has an accomodation option for all budgets. it has a lovely system where you can obtain food from the freezers and fridges and note it down in a book. There are also some great communal areas to play and meet other parents/ children. The area itself is brilliant as well being near Padstow etc. There is also a swimming pool in a nearby holiday village that can be used by people at coombe mill - good for rainy days! All in all fabulous.Read moreLess

"Wonderful child and family friendly holiday…"
We have recently returned from a brilliant holiday at the fabulous Coombe Mill, with our 19 month old toddler twins.
We stayed in Trebah and it was a real home from home, everything we could possibly need in the kitchen and really comfy beds. It was great not having to take highchairs and cots with us as everything was provided. The owners are really friendly and helpful, even sorting us out with cloths and cleaning spray after our little girl decided to be travel sick!
We loved the daily feed runs, a great way to build children's confidence around animals, and the tractor was a big hit with our little ones.
We were a little unfortunate with the weather, but the beauty of Coombe is that there are lots of things to do onsite, so if there was a break in the rain we could pop out to see the animals, play in the indoor play barn, have a go on the ride-on tractors or in the play areas. We found plenty of things to do in the wet in the local area, but it was also nice just relaxing in Trebah, especially with a great playroom upstairs.
We had such a good time we booked next year's return trip on the spot, and we can't wait to go back! You can read more about our time at Coombe Mill on my blog.

My daughter is now 10 years old and we have been going to coombe mill since she was a baby in arms. We have stayed in all the types of accommodation at all different times of the year. The riverside lodges are very comfortable and clean and tidy and are wonderful to stay in because you can hear the river in the back ground on a peaceful day. The owners and their family are the nicest people that you could wish to meet and nothing is ever any trouble - the children love to play with the visitors too and your children will adore the animals. Of course you have the luxurious scandinavian lodges for that special occasion and the adorable cottages but for me it's riverside lodges all the way for great value for money

"Fantastic holiday despite a little rain!…"
Just arrived home, stayed in Heligan...fantastic accomodation, toys, books, games, magazines, cutlery, bedguards, overalls (for farm), wellies, all provided free of charge! Shop for essentials...even dish washer tablets and washing tablets and the very naughty clotted cream. Everything thought out for a great holiday, nothing was too much trouble, the children loved it, we couldn't keep them in, four 3year olds becoming independant and confident within their surroundings. We didn't need to visit the seaside(we did and they're all very close, Polzeath our favourite) they were quite content with the play areas (four in all), one being a soft play area ideal for drizzly days. I havent even mentioned the farm yet, Farmer Nick and Ted the trail blazers! They took the children to feed the animals each morning, piglets,goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, rabbits, geese, donkeys, peacocks, even llamas (one we nicknamed 'Spit'). We even went on egg hunts for our breakfast treat! the children are wondering when are we going back to 'our holiday house'...next year...it's the first time in 4 years I've managed to read a book, two in fact, whilst daddy went exploring the farm with the children!!!!Read moreLess

The most idyllic and magical family holiday. The accommodation is well equipped and clearly thought out by parents - little extras little toddler cutlery were appreciated. We stayed in Willow Cottage which had a 'secret' attic playroom full of toys, and a whirlpool bath.
Our daughter loved the morning feed runs, she drove the tractor with the help of the farmer, fed the livestock, collected eggs and generally had a ball.
So peaceful and relaxing and a perfect location for exploring the beautiful Cornish coast and countryside.
I'd recommend to anyone, we'll certainly be going back.Read moreLess

We had our best ever family holiday at Coombe Mill in Cornwall (so much better than Euro Disney!!).
Every morning we put on our Wellies and joined Farmers Nick and Ted, jumping on to the tractor and doing the rounds to feed the chickens, donkeys, ducks, goats, pigs, bunnies and ponies. Both of the kids even had a drive of the tractor! F was a bit scared at the start of the week, but by a few days in she was really enjoying feeding all the animals.
We're hoping to go back again next year.Read moreLess

Yet another fantastic holiday from the Odells and Lakeys. Been coming to Coombe now for over 16 years and always have such a wonderful relaxing time. Lovely to see how the family are consistently making improvements each year by adding new animals, accommodation etc. Their enthusiasm is the same as when they first took over which is brilliant. Coombe will always be a holiday favourite with us and we will be back!!!Read moreLess

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2012, 12:146 doi:10.1186/1472-6882-12-146Published: 5 September 2012
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the most popular complementary and alternative medicine modalities worldwide. In Chinese and East Asian societies, TCM plays an active role in the modern health care system and is even covered by the National Health Insurance Program of Taiwan. Liver cancer is the second most common cancer in Taiwan. This study aimed to analyze the TCM utilization patterns of patients with liver cancer from 1996–2007 using a population-based random sample of one million insured patients.
A cross-sectional study was conducted using registration and claim data sets from 1996 to 2007 obtained from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005 (LHID2005). The outpatient datasets contained the encounter form-based dates of visit, three items from the International Classification of Diseases (Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes), the primary procedure (e.g., drug or diagnostic procedure), type of copayment, billed amount, and paid amount. Only ambulatory care was analyzed.
A total of 6358 liver cancer patients utilized ambulatory care during the study period. Among them, 1240 (19.50%) availed of TCM outpatient services. The prevalence of TCM use fluctuated during the study period, with a peak of 25.11% in 2001. After multivariable adjustment, the likelihood of TCM users was lower in participants aged 70 years and older (odds ratio, OR = 0.79, 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.64–0.97), males (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.52–0.68), residents of Taipei (OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.58–0.96) as well as farmers and fishermen (OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.54–0.94), but was higher in residents of central Taiwan (OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.56–2.54. Most biomedicine and TCM outpatient services were provided by private clinics, followed by private hospitals. The two most frequently recorded coexisting diseases for both biomedicine and TCM outpatient visits specifically for liver cancer were (1) chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, and (2) malignant neoplasm of the liver and hepatic bile duct. The mean fee per visit for biomedicine was much higher than that for TCM, and the average expenditure was NT$429.73 (US$13.25) per biomedicine visit and NT$301.93 (US$9.32) per TCM visit (US$1 = NT$32.4 in 2007). For outpatient visits specifically for liver cancer, the mean fee per visit for biomedicine was much higher than that for TCM. The average cost per visit was NT$1457.31 (US$44.98) for biomedicine and NT$1080.76 (US$33.36) for TCM.
TCM was widely used by the patients with liver cancer, and the prevalence of TCM use remained stably high during the study period. The costs of insurance covering TCM were consistently lower than those covering biomedicine in patients with liver cancer. The findings of this study should be useful for health policy makers as well as researchers considering the integration of TCM and biomedicine.

Cincinnati Reds Promote Pitching Coach Bryan Price to Manager
Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The Cincinnati Reds named pitching coach Bryan Price as manager to succeed Dusty Baker, who was fired after the team failed to advance in the Major League Baseball playoffs for the third time in four years.
Price, 51, has been the Reds' pitching coach since 2010. He held the same role with the Seattle Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks from 2000 through 2009 and has never managed a team at any level. Price, who agreed on a three-year contract, interviewed for the Miami Marlins' managerial job last year.
"I have spent a lot of time with Bryan since the season ended, and I was convinced after the first meeting he is the right person to help us move this organization forward," Reds General Manager Walt Jocketty said on the team's website. "We've all seen his work here with our pitching staff. He has proven himself to be an excellent communicator and leader and clearly is one of the most respected people not only in our clubhouse but in baseball in general."
Baker was fired on Oct. 4 after compiling a 509-463 record over six years with the Reds. Cincinnati had a 90-72 record this season before losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-2 in the National League wild-card game.
The Reds' pitching staff under Price led the NL in strikeouts this season and finished with the fourth-best earned-run average in the major leagues.
Price is the third former pitching coach among current managers, joining John Farrell of the Boston Red Sox and Bud Black of the San Diego Padres.

Ok guys, heres how its going down.. myself and my younger brother have just gotten our capture card and are looking to make our first video. It will be a music video featuring the song Through the Fire and Flames as made famous by Dragonforce. If you have yet to have heard this song click here. The video will be of a large battle concerning the Covenant civil war, there will be explosions, high detail warfare, and a good song to top it all off. It will also take place on the map Valhalla. There will also appear to be ranks between the elites and the spartans. The idea is of the war on Reach, except a quite different map. We don't have much people to help us make the video. If you are mature and cooperative and you are interested in taking part in this high speed war music video, send either me or MoB Kornography a friend request stating your interest in the role you would like to play as. We already have a filmer and editor and the only thing we need is a group of actors.
The following positions that have yet to be filled in our film are:
Covenant: (Not all armor decided on yet)
Sniper: (1 space)
Rifleman: (4 spaces; Commando armor set required: sidenote: if anyone even has it yet.)
Vehicleman: (2 spaces; Flight armor set required)
Captain: (1 space; Ascetic armor set REQUIRED)
UNSC: (Recommend high level sets of armor)
Sniper: iHeretic
Rifleman: (3 spaces; full C.Q.B. armor)
Assassin: Effected Cat
Vehicleman: MoB Kornography (1 space)
Master Chief: Pkabooicu
Remember, there will be many scenes added into this. Including a group a ninjas sneaking into a bunker with a bomb and more around that topic.
Please remember to take this seriously, any questions send myself ( MoB Purplehazed ) or MoB Kornography a message.

Sounds awesome; I love making movies in Halo. My GT is Vektor0... I'll send a friend request
I'd like to play the Elite Sniper, but I can play almost any armor role if you need another one... I've unlocked all armor except for the Commando and Scout shoulders, Security Helmet, and the extras that unlock after getting all of the achievements.

Don, Updated
by Barbara Lippert on Jun 29, 2:54 PM
Look! Up in the balcony! Wearing a deep tan, Cuban shirt, linen pants, and Florsheim shoes! It's Don Draper! Well, kinda, sorta, maybe. The actor Jon Hamm did appear at the Cannes Lions "Festival of Creativity" last week, and in his own modern man-wear, and loose, non-shellacked hair, looked much younger than Don ever has.

Episode 513: Three Hotel Rooms, Two Bloody Mouths, One Stiff Upper Lip
by Barbara Lippert on Jun 13, 11:25 AM
Capping a season with story lines that recently featured prostitution and suicide (and Peggy leaving!) all within the Sterling Cooper Draper nuclear family, "The Phantom," the season 5 finale, had much in the way of mushrooms and clouds to live up to. For the first 50 minutes, however, it felt repetitive and desultory, like "Groundhog Day" with a touch of "Marathon Man" (OK, Don, find a dentist already!). But the last six minutes were colossally great, even awe-inspiring. There were no huge surprises, but it built up the kind of masterly payoff that comes only from the expert synthesis of ...

Jordanian troops fire toward Syria after soldier injured
Sat Dec 8, 2012 3:59AM
"Shells and bullets fell on Jordanian territory. A stray bullet hit Jordanian soldier Oday Hussein Momani in the shoulder."The soldier was rushed to a local hospital and "now he is in good condition," he said. Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011. The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and that militant groups supported by certain Western states and their regional allies such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have been trying to fuel the turmoil. There are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals. Several international human rights organizations have accused the foreign-sponsored militants of committing war crimes. GJH/HSN

Hello people, because of some real life stuff I desided to quit modding for a while. The girl I like dumped me yesterday so I'm very depressed. There's also a boy I (I'm bi, please don't start messing around about it) but we don't know each other in person, I'm trying to get in touch but I got no idea how to start. I'm also having some importaint exams soon and a tragic bus accident from Belgium hit me in the hart. I just don't feel like modding at the moment. THIS DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE DEAD! I hope you will understand this and don't get mad at me for quitting.
Well, I leave you now and wont return for the following time.
Wow, thats harsh man. Good luck with getting youre life sorted out.

Felicity, Alias, Fringe, Undercovers, Xena
. It is ridiculous to say that the people behind those shows are unwilling or unable to write about women as more than sex objects or set dressing. I don't even know why you

In that case, we are talking at cross purposes. I agree that it is ridiculous to say that the people behind those shows are unwilling or unable to write about women as more than sex objects or set dressing. I moan precisely because they ARE capable of doing better. It is true to say that they have not lived up to those standards in this franchise yet.
But it's also true to say they don't write the comics and the people that do have also not lived up to those standards in this franchise yet.
As an aside, these stories about the support characters increase the chances of the women getting a bit more airtime. The reason why we've had only one story about one female character is precisely because there is only one female support character of any note so far. We might get a Marcus background story soon, maybe a Rand or Zahra background story, but those are pretty slim pickings when you look at them.

SEATTLE, Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cell Therapeutics, Inc. ("the Company") (Nasdaq and MTA: CTIC) today announced new pixantrone end of study ("EOS") follow up results from the Company's pivotal phase III PIX301 trial, which results form the basis for the Company's recent Marketing Authorization Application (the "MAA") currently under review by the European Medicines Agency ("EMA").
The end-of-study results showed continued improvement in the trial's primary and secondary endpoints with increased statistical confidence around the endpoint results. At EOS, CR/CRu (Complete Response ("CR")/Complete Response unconfirmed) rate increased to 24% in the pixantrone arm compared to 7% among comparator recipients (p=0.009) while ORR (Overall Response Rate) increased to 40% versus 14% for comparator recipients (p=0.001). The median duration of CR/CRu was 9.6 months for the pixantrone group compared to 4.0 months for the comparator group. Pixantrone patients experienced a 40% reduction in the risk of death or progression over the two year study observation and follow up period compared to standard chemotherapy (p=0.005, HR=0.60) and a 21% reduction in the overall risk for dying (p= 0.25, HR =0.79). The most common grade 3, 4 adverse event observed on the pixantrone arm was neutropenia in 41.2% of patients versus 19.4% on the comparator arm. However, the incidence of serious infections was comparable between arms. Deaths due to an adverse event were identical between both arms; there were more LVEF reductions in pixantrone arm, however only two were grade 3 and all were asymptomatic. The results were presented by Principal Investigator, Ruth Pettengell, M.D. of St. George's Hospital, University of London, the lead investigator for the phase III PIX301 EXTEND trial. "The end of study results strengthen the confidence and stability across the primary and secondary measures of efficacy," noted Dr. Pettengell. "The magnitude of complete and durable

Why Next-Gen Firewalls & Sandboxes Are Not Enough
Barry Fisher, Sr. Product Marketing Manager OpenDNS, now part of Cisco
Oct 13 2015
33 mins
Next-generation firewalls and sandboxes stop attacks at various steps, but they only react to malicious communications and code after attacks have launched.
There's another way—observing where attacks are 'staged'.
We're going to demonstrate how we can visualize Internet infrastructures for visibility into where attacks will emerge. Then, we'll know where advanced malware will be downloaded and where compromised systems will callback—before attacks launch.
In this live session, you'll learn:
7 steps of an attack and how you can use this data to get ahead of new security events.
3 ways to uncover malicious activity by looking at domain names, IP addresses, and autonomous system numbers (ASNs).
How to apply this intelligence to your current defenses.

Advanced Persistent Vulnerability Management - Turning the table on APTs
Amar Singh, Chair of ISACA's UK Security Advisory Group, Exec. Board Member & Consultant to UK's National MBA in Cyber Sec.
Oct 13 2015
41 mins
Wishful thinking or a cursory security assessment may have worked in the past but dealing with persistent and advanced threats requires an equally sophisticated and mature approach.
While APT's are on the rise and the use of zero-day vulnerabilities can be one of the weapons for such attacks, reality is that the large majority of incidents – advanced or not – occur using known vulnerabilities. Resolving these is, therefore, paramount to reducing the attack surface for cyber criminals.
Join Amar as he shares his tips on adopting a mature and continuing vulnerability management process that can help organizations reduce risk and be better prepared to respond to APT's.

Integrating Data Silos with your Big Data Systems in Real-Time
John Mullis, Oracle
Oct 13 2015
60 mins
It is increasingly evident that organizations can realize the full potential value of their data assets by combining the structured transactional data with semi-structured and unstructured data. Businesses also notice that to be agile and react to situations in real time, access to transactional data with low latency is essential. Low-latency transactional data brings additional value especially for dynamically changing operations that day-old data, structured or unstructured, cannot deliver. Streaming transactional data into big data solutions in real time, without degrading the performance of the source production systems will lay the foundation for more efficient operations and improved customer experience.
In this webinar you will learn how Oracle GoldenGate 12c empowers organizations to capture, route, and deliver transactional data from Oracle and non-Oracle databases. Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data provides optimized and high performance delivery to Hadoop targets such as Flume, HDFS, Hive, Hbase, NoSQL, Kafka, Spark and others to support customers with their real-time big data analytics initiatives.

Many security vendors claim to have access to the security intelligence and analytical capabilities needed to identify the trace elements of malware activity before cyber-attacks take place.
They claim the ability to identify threats and data breaches at the earliest possible stage. Even accepting that the average time to detect a breach has halved over the last eighteen months, a discovery and remediation timeline that is still close to 200 days is by any standards far too long.

4'' turbine outlet
i was lookin around on the internet a while ago and found an outlet that said it was a true 4'', where most are 3.25 or 3.5. i've been tryin to find it again and can't. does anybody know where i can get a 4'' outlet?
I have not seen one for a ford.
The factory outlet is 2.8" and the high flow outlets I have seen(BWG & GDS) are 3.2".
Keep in mind you would then need a custom down pipe made since all of the commercially available flanges are 3.5".
i think the gds is a 3.5 probly just get it for now
I might be wrong but the 3.5 isn't for the stock turbo I think its for their turbo. I have the GDS but I never measured it, but pretty sure its 3.2"
Need to lose more exhaust heat? The GDS Hi-Flow Power Outlet can easily reduce exhaust temperatures over 100 degrees for less than $200.00! While upgrading your turbo or exhaust system, we recommend always installing a GDS Hi-Flow Power Outlet on the turbo to replace the stock outlet piece. This will eliminate the stock EBP valve on most applications, and further reduce exhaust backpressure even on a non-EBP valve equipped motors. The stock outlet piece has three major flaws, all of which are remedied with this long overdue casting.
1. In most states it contains an electronic backpressure valve to aid engine warm up times. This butterfly valve is located at the worst possible position as far as performance is concerned. It is right where the exhaust is exiting the turbo transitioning from high pressure pre-turbo to lower post turbo pressures. This results in an expansion of the exhaust gas trying to occur right where it hits a huge restriction (the e.b.p valve). This is further amplified by the fact that the exhaust gasses are exiting the turbine in a swirling vortex and hitting the flapper valve within inches of the turbine wheel, further slowing exhaust flow. The GDS casting has no valve or provision for a valve!
2. The stock casting has a divider wall between the wastegate valve outlet chamber and the main exhaust outlet. This is a bad idea when trying to increase exhaust flow because it forces the wastegated exhaust to back up before it can enter the main exhaust stream and exit the casting. Keep in mind that the exhaust exiting the wastegate valve is coming out at a higher pre turbo pressure so when it has to reverse flow and try to enter the exhaust stream just upstream of the e.b.p. valve, it certainly doesnt help exhaust flow! The GDS casting has removed this dividing wall completely.
3. Next is the inside diameter of the exhaust outlet. Stock is about a 2.8 i.d. with the very restrictive valve making its effective diameter much less. The GDS casting is an unrestricted 3.4 i.d., perfect for, and compatible with any performance exhaust systems with a 3.5 or 4 downpipe. Note; there is also Hi-Flow outlet available for stock turbos with a 3.2" i.d.
This exhaust outlet casting should drop exhaust temperatures about 150 degrees on a stock turbo and will optimize the exhaust flow with the GDS Ball Buster turbo.
The info above is from the GDS site. If you can somehow get the 3.5" outlet for your stock turbo from GDS, make sure share the part number with us all.
Good Luck!
that one should work on a stock turbo shouldn't it? from what i understand most of the upgraded turboes have the same bolt pattern for the factory ebpv but a larger turbine outlet. so both of us are right, haha. i forgot about readin that. i just remembered they had a 3.5,my bad homes
You have a good point there, I would call them and find out. Let us know. It is always nice to find a way to drop EGT's.
That means you can add more fuel to make more power.
