Every individual child has his nature which will be similar throughout his life. A child may be formed, but he can be formed or can form himself only according to his nature, which is almost homoeostatic. This homoeostatic state can be called the constitution. The constitution is "what is" and the temperament is "what becomes".
The Temperament of a child may change over time, and be affected by many external factors, such as the physical and emotional environment in which the child is raised, the illnesses to which they are exposed, vaccinations, drugs used, and so on.
The Sanguine Child
Let's take a look at the Element of Air: It belongs to no one person or place, but is shared by all. Air is in constant movement itself and the cause of movement in other things. It is busy locally and travels far distances with ease. The sanguine child prefers to skip, or jump, or run on his toes rather than to walk. A delicate "taster" of food, with a bird's appetite and a butterfly's preference for sweetness, the sanguine child seems to be nourished more by his five senses than by his three regular meals.
The body opens itself to the air through its many orifices, and the sanguine child experiences the inner and outer worlds through all of them with equal devotion. His mouth will be more often open than shut (in complete contrast to the phlegmatic) and if not savoring words and sounds will be well occupied with licking fingers, nibbling pencils, chewing shirt collars or other obscure isometrics designed perhaps to develop mobility of expression or firmness of jawline, who knows? Not the sanguine child, for sure, who will be totally unaware that he was doing anything at all. The nose becomes a centre of intense activity, from the usual childish habits to use as a resting place for biros or the ends of pigtails, and then on to a sort of clearing house for smells of which the rest of us are happily unaware. All this, coupled with the birdlike movements of the eye shows us that the sensory world is never dull for the sanguine personality, which can present problems in the classroom. The wrong way to handle a sanguine child is to "sit" on him. He will only find a way of wriggling free and, most probably, like the air in a joke cushion, make a rude noise as he goes. The Sanguine's creative spirit sees potential in every situation. The air is used by all weaves between individuals and whole nations an invisible web of relationships, and it is in making relationships that the sanguine personality excels. Not only does the child need to feel surrounded by many friends, (the thirst for company is a strong characteristic of this temperament), but the mature adult is able to develop a real gift for bringing other people, and also facts and ideas, into relationship. (1; 207)
A characteristic remedy for this temperament, as an example, could be… Sulphur
According to Paul Herscu N.D. Sulphur children tend to fall into one of four categories of temperaments: happy-go-lucky, irritable, hyperactive, or cerebral. Most common is the happy-go-lucky, smiling type. While some rare children needing Sulphur may be shy during the first visit, this shyness will usually only last for a few seconds or minutes at most before their natural curiosity takes over and they begin to explore both the office and the doctor. (2; 257) As the initial interview progresses or during follow-up interactions, the basically obstinate nature of the child becomes more evident. They have so much energy that it is often necessary to set limits for them while they are in the office. The doctor, nervous about the destruction of sensitive equipment and glassware or about having the office in total disarray, asks the child not to touch this or that, but the child continually tests the doctor's patience. The child will push against such behavioral limits again and again, attempting to escape their confines. This is especially true of hyperactive Sulphur children. They nag at the doctor, asking why they cannot do whatever they wish. This type of obstinacy springs from the desire for freedom and the sense that it is absolutely necessary to let their inquisitiveness run wild. This stubbornness is seen even more vividly in the second type of Sulphur children: the nasty, irritable sort. These children have a negative attitude toward practically everything. (2; 259) It should be stressed that this irritable type is the rarest form of Sulphur. The hyperactive child is commonly cured with a prescription of Sulphur. The child has a great amount of energy, unstoppable by parents and teachers alike. Even the toddler shows this trait. The cerebral type seems to be more introverted and prefers to be alone and indulge in endless science fiction books or movies and tends to have only a few friends. They can be easily be taken as Nat. Mur., especially when this child does not want to be consoled and wants to be alone. The point is, the Sulphur child is typically all over the office, exploring everything, touching the pictures, pulling all the toys off the shelves, and generally making a mess of the office – something a sanguine temperament simply would do because it lies in his nature: in constant movement and seeing potential in every situation.
The Choleric Child
This temperament comes about when the Element of Fire has the upper hand in the constitution. The choleric temperament has the advantage, or the disadvantage, whichever way one may choose to look at it, of drawing its owner very much into the foreground socially. No one ignores a fire, its majesty captures everyone's attention and people naturally gravitate towards it, grateful for its warmth and light perhaps, sometimes in awe of it, or simply mesmerized by its activity and its energy. This energy is the hallmark of the choleric child and cannot in any way be compared to the constant activity of the sanguine. Even at rest, the energy latent in the smoking coals is apparent in the clear, direct, penetrating gaze of the, often dark, eye. Other children are aware of this subtle force and usually defer to it. This is advantageous for the choleric child in that he can rise to his instinctive role as leader and allow full play for what he feels are his superior skills. With an audience to admire him and plenty of children around to be organized (at which he excels) the choleric child is supremely happy – as indeed is everyone else (on the good days, that is). On the bad days, he is rejected as being simply "bossy" which makes him utterly miserable and confused. This unfortunate state of affairs can occasionally lead to the child destroying a game or project from which he has been excluded just to "show them" that he still is the boss. But this uncontrolled raging of fire is rarer than it might be because the choleric child has a very keen sense of fair play and is a prompt critic of injustice wherever he sees it. Fire is quick to come to life and can also be speedily put "out". In the heat of his enthusiasm the choleric child is often careless of the finer feelings of others, but when his own soul is wounded he feels this deeply, and his inner flame is doused. It is difficult for other temperaments to appreciate that the choleric needs to feel superior, and is most at ease and works best when he is secure in this position. The tenseness of the choleric, and his overwhelming frustration when things don't work out his way leads to obvious social difficulties, but these are balanced out by his ability to generate warmth in a group. (1; 211)

I have several old devices that aren't working on 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. If I upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, will its XP Mode allow me to use those drivers?
If you run all the applications that need the drivers through XP Mode, then yes, that would work.
With a few exceptions, the hardware on your machine is not exposed to the XP Mode OS. You can expose some USB devices, but just about everything else is not exposed. Without the hardware exposed to the OS, you can't load the drivers. The general answer to your question is that 32-bit drivers in XP mode won't help you use hardware that does not work on the 64-bit host. There may be a few exceptions, but not many.
The 64 bits driver of my scanner is not provided by the manufacturer nor microsoft
I can confirm you that my USB scanner works fine with its 32 bits driver under XP mode.
USB : This is important as the rest of the seen hardware is emulated (like you video card) You have 2 Usb ports under XP mode. Those ports can be linked to Windows 7 usb port/device of your choice even if the device has no driver under 7 64 bits.

NOTD - Face of Australia Bright Lights Pink City4:52 PM
|No, like tacky like sticky... never mind, you keep on doing your thing, Jaslene, you crazy cha-cha diva.
God, I watch too much America's Next Top Model.
It photographs a bit more peachy than in real life, on me it's definitely a pink, but I couldn't quite capture it.
The Barbados collection from FOA has really done well with its colour range. I originally promised myself to buy just one (I have a massive backlog of new polishes to try), but somehow the unholy combination of gorgeous colours and the uncanny ability of Priceline to have a sale on exactly what I want to buy resulted in me owning almost the full set. And I'm so terribly sorry.
Face of Australia polishes retail for a silly $4.95 each, and I think I got this one on sale for even cheaper.

Want to save money? Check out the 2010 Volvo S40
By KBB Editors
There are plenty of compact sport sedans on the market. Some try to win over customers by offering high-end features at a bargain price. Others entice buyers with a combination of European styling, handling and craftsmanship. One car that manages to do both is the 2011 Volvo S40. The 2011 Volvo S40 boasts a 227-horsepower turbocharged engine and long list of standard and available features. While not as polished as an Audi A3 or Lexus IS 250, the Volvo S40 is a viable competitor with either car, thanks to its balance of performance, economy and affordability.
If you're looking for a premium compact
sedan loaded with features at a very modest price, spend some time behind the wheel of a
2011 Volvo S40. With its Whiplash Protection System and other safety features, the Volvo S40 will appeal to your need for security, as well.
If you need all-wheel drive, a backseat large enough to fit two adults or the hands-on driving experience that can only be had with a manual transmission, the 2011 Volvo S40 probably won't make your top 10 list.
For 2011, Volvo has discontinued the base S40 2.4i model and dropped the manual transmission and all-wheel-drive option. The T5 becomes the entry-level S40 while the R-Design remains the top-of-the-line offering.
Despite being quiet and refined, the 2011 Volvo S40 T5 is a lively performer. While we found the smooth-shifting five-speed Geartronic automatic transmission adeptly handled the engine's power, the manual...
... shift mode is not as quick or as fun to drive as a manual transmission. The Volvo S40 T5 is as at home dashing through mountain curves as it is darting in and out of city traffic. The Volvo S40 T5's steering yields sharp, reasonably quick responses and the suspension strikes a comfortable blend of sporty and smooth. Those seeking a more-spirited driving experience should opt for the Volvo S40 R-Design, which has a stiffer suspension and a more-aggressive wheel and tire package.
Multimedia Package
Volvo's premium audio system sounds and looks fantastic. From the floating center console that houses the radio controls, to the hidden navigation screen that rises up from the dash, the Volvo S40's Multimedia package is well worth the $2,000 asking price.
Dynamic Sport Suspension
The Volvo S40's R-Design's sport suspension boosts handling capabilities without extracting a significant penalty in ride comfort.
True to the long-established school of Scandinavian design, the 2011 Volvo S40's interior is modern yet minimalistic. It includes Volvo's signature ultra-slim waterfall center stack, which is attractive but prohibits the installation of an aftermarket audio system. Volvo's ergonomically designed front seats provide plenty of comfort and support on long drives, but the rear seat is cramped for two adults, especially if the front seats are in their rear-most positions. T-Tec fabric seating is standard on the base Volvo S40 T5. The Volvo S40 R-Design's vividly contrasting white and black seats are striking. An all-black leather package is optional. We like the Volvo S40's easy-to-read gauges, but some of the smaller controls on the floating console are difficult to operate.
Once heralded as the new face of Volvo, the aging S40 design now looks a bit conservative, especially when compared to the newest members of the Volvo family, the sleek S60 Sedan and XC60 Crossover. Still, the 2011 Volvo S40 is a handsome vehicle. It's fitted with Volvo's signature grille design, V-shaped hood, and body-contouring tail lights. The S40's body follows what Volvo calls Intelligent Vehicle Architecture, which includes "extremely rigid" cross members for better side-impact protection.
Both the base 2011 Volvo S40 T5 and Volvo S40 R-Design feature a 227-horsepower, 2.5-liter, turbocharged, five-cylinder engine coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission. Other standards include fog lamps, eight-way power driver's seat, keyless remote entry, heated power mirrors and 17-inch alloy wheels. The audio system includes HD Radio, a single CD changer, a USB/iPod interface and Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity. Upgrading to the Volvo S40 R-Design adds a body and trim kit, sport suspension, leather seating surfaces, a power passenger seat and a power moonroof.
Popular options are mostly bundled into packages. The Climate Package provides heated seats, headlamp washers, an air filtration system, automatic climate control and rain-sensing wipers. The Multimedia Package adds a 650-watt Dynaudio 10-speaker Surround Sound system, HDD Navigation, Real Time Traffic and two map updates. A power moonroof, power passenger seat, and leather seating surfaces are part of the Preferred Package. The Blind Spot Information System and rear park assist are stand-alone options.
The Volvo S40's turbocharged 2.5-liter engine pumps out 227 horsepower, runs on regular gas and can go 30 miles on a single gallon of gasoline. The five-cylinder design transmits a bit of vibration and there is lack of low-end torque until the turbo kicks in. Enthusiasts will pine for more power, but they're unlikely to purchase a Volvo S40.
2.5-liter in-line 5 turbo
227 horsepower @ 5000 rpm
236 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1500-5000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/30

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 77,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Huge value for money; Legendary Volvo safety."
Cons: "Could be more nimble; Too small for some."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This car is shorter than a Honda Civic, yet somehow much roomier inside, making it a breeze to parallel park in the city while still maintaining a reasonable comfort level. Everyone will think you paid much more for this car than you did due to its styling cues lining up with the larger s60. At the end of the day, this car acts like everything you wish a Ford Focus or a Mazda 3 (they share a chassis, after all) could be. When the rare repair is needed, parts are no more expensive than those others, though labor charges will be higher from a Volvo specialist. Save some money by using a good, non-import specialist mechanic, as these cars are simple enough to be serviced by a non-proprietary mechanic. Usually. There are a handful of things like key fobs and software updates that will mandate getting skinned alive by a dealer, but those things are few and far between."

Pros: "Fun to drive, easy to park and drive in city"
Cons: "Noisy interior, cloth seats water spot easily"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"The Good: 2.5l Turbo Engine is very strong allowing merging and passing with ease. Brakes are quite strong. Handling is crisp and sure footed. Outside visibility is very good, few blind spots. Gas mileage is good, not great, but 28+ on hi-way, 21+ city in average driving. Will run quite well on 86 Octane Regular gas. Not a "sports" car but is fun to drive. Small enough to park easily and navigate city traffic. Surprisingly large trunk. The Bad: Uni-body construction allows for noisy ride. New tires help. Cloth seats water spot very easily and are hard to clean. Recommend leather. Interior cabin filter hard to replace (in this model year) and requires expensive dealer/shop replacement. Cabin filter can be easily clogged by small leaves and debris. (placed a wire screen over cowl vent screens to avoid this in future). Front seats very comfortable. Back seat space can be tight for large adults over a long trip."

Pros: "Styling, solid feel"
Cons: "Front/Rear Bumper covers too soft, noisy engine"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8
"I bought this car for my girlfriend to commute in everyday L.A. traffic and so far it has been great. She loves it mainly for all the bells & whistles like Bluetooth hands-free, great audio system with 6 disc changer, digital ambient temp readout, avg fuel readout, very cold AC, warm heater, plus a plethora of other amenities. Though there is also a moonroof but she has never touched it. But the sole reason I bought her this car is the safety rating. First of all it is a very solid vehicle and feels great on the road. The handling is tight and power is sufficient with its 2.4i engine, but most above all - the great styling of the S40! We've owned it for almost two years now. Bought the car with 36,600 miles and now just reached 50,300. The only thing we did was changed the oil from Castrol synthetic-blend to Castrol Edge 0W-30 Full Synthetic. I also replaced all the motor mounts. Didn't really need to but I felt like doing it to get most out of the vehicle. Other items are just accessory upgrades; like rubber mats, trunk cubby tray and luggage hangers, nothing mechanical and so far it has performed great. Gas mileage is average since this is an inline-5 cylinder. It is pretty spot on with the 20 City/28 Hwy claim - though I did get a bit more (apprx 30 hwy) on a road trip at cruising speeds of 80mph. It was a blast to drive and the seats are very comfortable. Car felt very reliable while on the journey in regards to both mechanical and safety - which makes a world of difference."

"Interior critique is based on our physical needs as we age. Hard for passenger to access car since seat is very low. Too bad car most manufacturers ignore the older generation in this regard.

I wanted to create a 'go to' page for any questions you may have – especially those few that I seem to get asked often! Hopefully you will find the answer here, but if not there's always Twitter…
Where did you get the name 'ghostparties' from?
That's a very good question; I wish there was more of a backstory but I think I just came up with it one day. A long time ago, I had a few other personal blogs and I think I just always had this same username 'ghostparties'. It's stuck, and I can't say I love it…
What camera do you use to shoot and film?
I use a Canon 600D for both my blog photography and my (albeit very rare) videos. I usually do a small amount of basic editing in Photoshop afterwards, just to tweak colours and lighting, as well as crop. I also usually use a 40mm pancake lens for my photos.
For videos, I edit in Final Cut Pro.
Where is your accent from? I can't seem to place it…
I'm from New Zealand originally, but I've also lived in Australia, Scotland, England and now I've settled in Glasgow. My accent is pretty much a mix of every country I've lived in, and it often changes depending on who I'm speaking to.
Is blogging your full time job? How did you get in to it? Any advice for new bloggers?
It is indeed, a very different job from what I imagined years ago! I never really planned for things to be this way, which is the case for most bloggers, but I took the leap and it's worked out well. Blogging takes a lot of effort, and it's a path that is constantly changing, constantly adapting and you have to be quick to keep up!
As for advice, I would say be original, be yourself and have fun with it – don't expect the world and be happy with what comes your way. Oh, and never compare yourself to anyone else.
Where do you live and who do you live with?
I live just south of Glasgow city centre, in a lovely old flat with my boyfriend and our cat, Mouse.
How do you have fun?
I'm very much a homebody, I love doing DIY to our flat, reading gripping psychological thrillers, watching entire series on Netflix in a day, or just getting on with blogging. I also love weaving, drinking coffee and browsing ASOS…
I also love seeing my BFFs, walking around the West End, sinking cocktails and going out to my favourite restaurants.
Name some of your favourite stores…
I usually shop at ASOS, Topshop, Forever21, H&M and New Look for clothes. For makeup, it has to be John Lewis, Space NK and Liberty and Selfridges (when I'm in London!).
For interiors, I love MADE.COM, West Elm, Swoon Editions, H&M Home, Ikea and Etsy.
If you weren't blogging, what would you be doing for a career?
I guess something in beauty or maybe even interiors. Or maybe even writing a book… who knows!

Should Isaac Use Savings or Debt for College?
STEVE: I was checking our family bank-account balance online one night this summer, when my eyes slid down to another account, lower on the bank Web page.
"Interest Checking," it said, and beside the account number was an astounding dollar figure -- much bigger than I expected. It was Isaac's bank account.
"You should think about adding some more of this money to your Roth IRA," I told him as he worked at the desk next to me, preparing for college by organizing his most precious asset -- the music files on the family computer.
"Hmm," came the noncommittal reply. I knew how the debate would go next.
As we wrote earlier, The Wall Street Journal pays Isaac for his half of this column. Last year, he agreed to invest part of that in a retirement fund so he has a head start later in life.
But these days, Isaac has a competing goal: avoiding debt. We asked him to take out a federally guaranteed loan -- about $5,500 his first year -- as his share of college costs. He'd rather use his income from the column to pay that upfront instead of starting to pile up what could end up being close to $30,000 in debt.
ISAAC: I can see it all like a bad dream: I finish up college and, after the flurry of graduation celebrations are over, I'm left out in the real world with my education, aspirations and a massive pile of debt.
For years, it would hang over me, taking a large chunk of my paychecks hostage and forcing me, while job hunting, to always consider first how well a job pays before thinking of how much I would learn from, or enjoy, the work. Working for a nonprofit, traveling the world or going to graduate school would all be mostly out of the picture.
But this is avoidable for me. I've received a large windfall from writing this column, in addition to the money left over from my high-school job. In total, it's enough to significantly reduce the debt I'll need to take on, or to avoid it altogether. That is, only if I don't do something else with the money, like putting it aside for retirement.
I understand the importance of delayed gratification. Instead of spending my money upfront, I can put my money away for a while, forget about it, and by the time I actually need it -- when I hit 65 or so -- it will have grown to a whole lot more than before. And how early I start saving makes a big difference, as I found out when I ran my numbers through a financial calculator.
But I think paying for my education first is the logical thing to do. It seems like a basic principle. When you're a toddler, for instance, you're taught to finish what's already on your plate before going on to the chocolate cake that you'd really prefer to eat. By deciding to go to college, I piled a heaping mound of financial obligation on my plate. Dealing with this should be my first priority.
I don't quite understand my dad's obsession with saving for retirement, one of his favorite financial lessons. While it would be a nice luxury to start saving money for the future at such an early age, it doesn't seem like the right thing for me to do in this situation. I'm sure if it was deciding whether to pay off a credit-card debt of a similar size as my college debt, or save that money for retirement, my dad would tell me to pay off the debt without a second thought. So why would my situation with college debt be any different?
Besides, retirement seems so far off. I have almost five decades to save for retirement -- certainly, I'll be able to put away enough by then. I'm sure none of my grandparents started saving for retirement anytime before age 30, and they seem to be doing fine. What's the worst that could happen if I just put my saving for retirement off for a decade or two?
STEVE: I concede: I'm "obsessed" with retirement. I started saving the instant I got my first full-time job -- even while I was still repaying college debt.
Why the obsession? Well, it's pretty basic. There's a voice in my head warning that Karen and I may run out of money in the future and that I'll have no one to blame but myself. And so I save. And save.
Now, to be fair to Isaac, I have to admit that there's another, in this case conflicting, voice haunting me. It's the one that tells me that debt is bad -- very bad. This voice, though, tends to be drowned out by the first.
When I asked my parents about my fears, they were quick to accept the responsibility for both my voices. As I've written, my parents grew up poor on Depression-era farms, and knew the pain of running out of money when bad things happen. My dad suggested that the "residual anxiety" he carried about running out of money -- and about retirement -- may have rubbed off on me.
But both my parents also said they went into adulthood determined to avoid debt at all costs. "I'd lean toward Isaac on avoiding debt," Mom said.
Yet, I stick to my guns: Our youth can't count on Social Security or old-style pensions, so they need to start thinking about retirement earlier than we did. Isaac's Roth IRA is a device to get him thinking early.
I made a deal with Isaac. He's saving us room-and-board money by signing up for alternative campus housing, where he helps cook and clean. It's $3,800 a year less than a conventional dorm. The deal: I'll pay for half that difference if he puts it in his Roth IRA.
That way, he can still avoid the debt while learning to worry about retirement.

The New Game
by Mudvayne
- Record Label: Epic
- Release Date: Nov 18, 2008
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Some of the fierce headbanging that is Mudvayne's stock in trade can still be found in 'The Hate in Me,' 'We the People' and 'Dull Boy,' but the bulk of the record finds the group playing its New Game with hard-hitting exuberance.
Mudvayne used to be viewed as somewhat of a joke band with its costumes and makeup, but they're more out front and naked now, with markedly more genuine results.
Q MagazineThis fourth album finds them repeating the nifty trick of simplifying Tool's complex musical equations. Math metal for dummies, anyone? [Jan 2009, p.113]
With a winning opener (the familiar but nonetheless brutal "Fish Out of Water") and a handful of other keepers (including "A New Game" and the surprisingly subtle "Never Enough"), fans looking for a repeat of L.D. 50, Beginning of All Things to End, End of All Things to Come, and Lost and Found will be more than pleased, but those looking for actual growth would be better off cleaning out their refrigerators.
Mudvayne write some decent guitar hooks (check the title track), but their imagination is parched, with most songs hewing to one formula: riff, whimper, shriek, repeat.
The New Game signifies Mudvayne's transition from elite metal juggernaut to their inevitable fade into obscurity.
The album's gooey, mid-tempo grind at best evokes System of a Down stripped of ambition and eccentricity, and might elicit sympathy with whatever culprit is running around that no-stoplight town.

When it comes to songs like "Have it OK the album is not Mudvaynes best, Buts they must be making sales. Personally, I like The New Game. When it comes to songs like "Have it your way" or "Do what you do", It gets back down to the roots of what made Mudvaye good in the first place. Blasting out good metal tracks. OK yes, both of those songs are "secure" when it comes to the sound of Mudvayne but not all artists come out with something fresh and new. But Chad has deffinitly put a lot into this album vocally (compared to L.D. 50). Just listen to "A new game", it thrives on what Chad Grey has learned in his years with Mudvayne (and Hellyeah). Mudvayne have progressed through the years, They have come a long way from "Kill I Oughta" and "L.D. 50". Not to mention, they have progressed for the better. Look at it from their point of view, If they stayed with the sound of "L.D. 50", they wouldn't have half the fan base that they have today. And if they did stick with the sound of "L.D. 50", then everybody would complain that its the same old sond over and over again. Mudvayne have done well to reach as many fans as they possibly can while keeping they existing fans happy. I like the new Mudvayne album "A New Game". Keep up the good work.… Full Review »

They put us in nicer separate rooms on Friday night, but required us to downgrade to a smoking room for Saturday and Sunday. The room was poorly maintained and smelled disgusting. The only other choice offered was a room next to a malfunctioning elevator. If this had been made clear when I had made my booking on Priceline, I could have found a much better deal through your site or elsewhere. As it was, we were at the hotel's mercy and didn't have the time or energy to waste to fight with the hotel. ...

The new Orleans w hotel was great, however this was NOT where my reservation was for. What was not great was that pricelime changed the location of my location without informing me so I arrived at the French Quarter W only to be informed that I was in the wrong location. The French quarter location was not helpful thus showing my one lower rating above. All other ratings were answered for where I actually stayed at the New Orleans W location. I will NEVER use pricelime again as when we called customer service they were mot helpful. It was very frustrating ...

The hotel was overall a good stay, great location, comfortable room and exceptional staff. The amenities were sparse (no coffee pot, hairdryer) but again, the staff's attention to service outweighed the lack of extras. My girlfriend met up with me on the second day and got lost coming into the Quarter. The hotel concierge (Brian) personally got on the phone with directions then ran up the street to guide her in. If I stay again I will book directly with the hotel and not priceline. ...

Cyprus confirmed on Thursday that the cost of its EU-IMF bailout has surged to 23 billion euros ($30 billion) from 17.5 billion euros, putting the already teetering economy in danger of collapse and further endangering large bank depositors.
"It's a fact the memorandum of November talked about 17.5 billion (euros) in financing needs. And it has emerged this figure has become 23 billion," said government spokesman Christos Stylianides.
That means Cyprus will now have to find 6.0 billion euros more than the 7.0 billion euros mooted in a preliminary agreement reached on March 25 in order to secure an EU-IMF contribution of 10 billion euros.
Under the preliminary terms of a bailout agreed last month, Cyprus will drastically reduce the size of its bloated banking sector, raise taxes, downsize the public sector workforce and privatise some state-owned firms.
Stylianides was commenting on a new assessment of Cyprus's financing needs that eurozone finance ministers, including that of Cyprus, are to discuss in Dublin from Friday in a bid to reach a final deal.
A copy obtained by AFP says the European Commission and European Central Bank now estimate that "Cyprus's gross financing needs amount to about (23 billion euros) over the three-year programme horizon" through the first quarter of 2016.
"This includes needs for the recapitalisation of the banking sector, the redemption of maturing medium- and long-term debt, including loans and fiscal needs."
Under the March deal, failed lender Laiki Bank is being wound up and its healthy assets transferred to the Bank of Cyprus.
To cover part of Cyprus's revenue-raising needs, there was talk that customers with deposits of more than 100,000 euros at Bank of Cyprus could lose up to 60 percent of those holdings. That figure could now be even higher.
Those in Laiki will have to wait years to see any of their money over 100,000 euros.
A further 600 million euros would be raised through a corporate tax rise, 400 million euros through the sale of excess gold reserves, and further funding from privatisation and a roll-over of debt held by Cypriot investors.
Jonathan Loynes, chief European economist at Capital Economics in London, noted on Thursday that the "biggest burden of the increase in the bail-out will fall on depositors and bank bond-holders, whose combined contribution will rise from an expected 5.8 billion euros to 10.6 billion euros."
Cyprus is already in recession, with unemployment at around 15 percent and expected to grow sharply this year and next.
The eurozone Cyprus assessment is forecasting GDP to plunge by 8.7 percent in 2013, led by a whopping 13.9 percent drop in domestic demand, and to fall another 3.9 percent next year.
Loynes warned that "the sheer size of the increase has underlined the extent of the enormous challenges facing Cyprus itself."
He said the forecast for Cyprus returning to real GDP growth of 1.9 percent in 2016 and the budget to balance "incorporate a considerable degree of optimism" given uncertainties over the future health of the banking sector and the impact of the planned fiscal tightening.
"This could force Cyprus to undertake further fiscal tightening to meet its borrowing targets and casting doubt over the sustainability of the bail-out."

i was just wondering what the best (performance & storage wise) solution regarding sharing images within my multisite installation would be. i built a multilingual website structured like this:
asfd.com --> only redirects user to /en or /es depending on browser language
so of course my english and spanish website use the same theme and e.g. same logo. therefore my question is if it makes sense to:
a) create an individual folder in my webspace to centralize...
b) only upload into the media library of one of my sub-blogs but link images to both for..
c) simply upload to both media libraries and have redundant data for...
... images i m using on both the /en and /es pages.
thanks for any hints in advance ;)

BMI View : I n the face of a rapidly rising debt burden , Chilean state oil and gas firm Empresa Nacional de Petroleo has taken a number of steps to improve its downstream sector's weak financial position . However, despite its efforts, in the short term we expect margins will continue to be weighed down by elevated feedstock prices and a high debt servicing burden .
We hold a cautious short-term outlook on Chile's Empresa Nacional de Petroleo (ENAP) . While engaged in some upstream activity, the downstream sector has historically accounted for the majority of the state-owned firm's revenues and net profits (at 95% and 60% respectively). With limited hydrocarbon production and risin g demand though, the company is force d to import nearly all of its feedstock. As such, even with its efforts to reduce its substantial debt load and implement cost saving measures , given our expectations for high WTI prices, we believe margins are likely to remain tight.
|ENAP's Refineries
|Chile - ENAP's Refineries' Capacity, % Total
Increasing Efforts To Improve Financial Picture
In the face of a rapidly rising debt burden, which jumped from US$2.3bn in FY2008 to US$4.1bn in Q213, ENAP is in the process of implementing a number of measures to put itself on a stronger financial footing. First, we have seen both the company and government freeing up liquidity to allow ENAP to pay down its obligations. Indeed, as of August 2013 ENAP has announced its intention to sell its minority stakes Manu Peru and Primax Comercial del Ecuador. The divestment of these non-strategic assets will bring in US$312mn, and will be combined with the US$300mn capital injection that the Chilean government has committed to the company.
|Edging Higher
|Chile - ENAP Net Debt, US$mn
Second, alongside directly paying down its obligations, the company is taking a number of steps to boost its downstream segment's margins. These include:
Refinery Upgrades: For several years we have seen the company focusing efforts on increasing heavy crude oil refining capacity as this feedstock is less expensive. In May ENAP inaugurated an alkylation plant in their Anconcangua Refinery, allowing it to boost profitability by transforming lower-value products like butane into a higher value product - namely, gasoline with only 15 parts per million of sulphur.
Renegotiated Contracts: At the end of last year, ENAP signed a new, more favourable LNG contract with Britain's BG Group, whereby it will gain access to "bigger volumes at a competitive price" from 2013 to 2030 according to the Chilean company. The firm also noted in its Q113 report that it is looking to find new crude feedstock sources in order to gain greater negotiating power with current suppliers.
Government Support: Under the 2013 Chilean Budget law, ENAP will be compensated for up to US$63.3mn per annum to continue selling heavily subsidised natural gas in the Magallanes area. In comparison to much of the rest of the country, the prices in Magallanes are far lower, but when ENAP proposed to hike prices substantially in 2011 in order to close its fiscal gaps, the move prompted widespread protests. The changes to the budget law allow the company to address its fiscal deficiencies without creating widespread unrest.
But Risks Remain
However, while the company and government's efforts may help to ease some of ENAP's financial burden, a number of factors suggest the firm's margins will remain under pressure, encouraging us to remain cautious. According to the company's 2012 report, its upstream operations supply only 2% of the total crude feedstock used by its refiners, which means that ENAP's margins are vulnerable to elevated WTI prices.
|Highly Leveraged
|Chile - ENAP Net Debt/Equity
Moreover, the company is still highly leveraged, with net debt-to-equity of 25.5x in Q113, and debt-to-EBITDA, at 13.7x. While this represents a considerable improvement from FY2012 on the back of improved earnings, the debt-to-EBITA ratio it is still well above ENAP's long-term target of 2.5x.The company's high debt not only weighs on its growth potential, but also presents risks of further investment downgrades by the major ratings agencies as the Chilean government's own fiscal position becomes more tenuous.
Despite its weak finances, the company is still rated as investment grade which we believe is in part due to both the implicit and overt support of the Chilean government. Indeed, the company has been bolstered in recent years by a number of government actions, not leastcapital injections and the government waiving its right to collect dividends. However, as weaker copper prices and slowing demand for the commodity begins to weigh on Chile's growth and budgetary position, we could see the country forced to take a more hardline stance with the state-owned entity. We note that a further downgrade would only make it even harder to borrow, and, while not our core view, could see the company struggle to turn over its debt.
|Well Above Target
|Chile - ENAP Net Debt/EBITA
Ultimately, over the long term there is some light at the end of the tunnel for ENAP if Chile is able to bring its shale resources online. However, for now, with unconventional resource development in a nascent stage in the country, the company struggling to contain a considerable debt load and elevated WTI prices, we retain a cautious stance.

Sierra Club Nominee Wins World-Renowned Goldman Environmental Prize
Puerto Rican activist Rosa Hilda Ramos awarded $150,000 prize for her work to secure clean air and to preserve open space
SAN FRANCISCO. Puerto Rican grandmother and homemaker Rosa Hilda Ramos, nominated by the Sierra Club, has been awarded this year's prestigious Goldman prize, often called "the green Nobel." In the shadow of polluting factories in Cataño, a city across the bay from San Juan, Ramos led her community to successfully defeat a major polluter in court. She then helped direct the fine money to the permanent protection of Las Cucharillas Marsh, one of the last open spaces in the area and one of the largest wetlands ecosystems in the region.
"Rosa Hilda Ramos is the spark that lit the fire of action in her community. When I heard her speak to the founding members of the Sierra Club in Puerto Rico I thought that we must help honor this woman and her story," said Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club.
In the 1990s, Catańo, a community of 35,000 within greater San Juan, was found to have the highest rate of respiratory diseases and cancer incidence in Puerto Rico. Air pollution from nearby oil-powered electric power plants, run by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), was primarily responsible. The EPA knew about the high levels of pollution in the Catańo area and had notified the Puerto Rican government that it was unsafe for residents; however, as of 1991, neither entity had taken action to address the problem. After Rosa Hilda's mother died of cancer, she founded Communities United Against Contamination to seek justice.
Rosa Hilda Ramos and her organization helped bring the polluters to court, leading a fight that won $7 million in pollution fines. She then successfully convinced the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to use that money establish long term protection of the nearby Las Cucharillas Marsh, a critical wetland habitat that provided much-needed open space in a community plagued by industrial pollution. Its mangroves are also a critical buffer zone protecting nearby residents from the threat of flooding.
"Rosa Hilda reminds us each that we have the power within ourselves and our community to create change, for our families and for our future. She has been a model of action in Puerto Rico, and now the rest of the world can learn from her struggle and her victory," said Camilla Feibelman, coordinator of the Sierra Club of Puerto Rico.
The Goldman Environmental Prize, now in its 19th year, is awarded annually to grassroots environmental heroes from each of the world's inhabited continental regions and is the largest award of its kind. Puerto Rican activist Alexis Massol won the prize in 2002. In 2008, each individual Prize award will be increased from $125,000 to $150,000. Prize winners are selected by an international jury from confidential nominations submitted by a worldwide network of environmental organizations and individuals. The winners will be awarded the Prize at an invitation-only ceremony Monday, April 14, 2008 at 5 p.m. at the San Francisco Opera House and will also be honored at a smaller ceremony on Wednesday, April 16 at the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Hyundai has shown a new Connectivity Concept near its European base in Germany that previews its smartphone integration technology due to begin rolling out on production cars from 2015.
Smartphones can already be connected to a car's infotainment system by Bluetooth. But the Hyundai system takes things further using wireless Near Field Technology (NFC) to allow a driver to lock and unlock the car by waving their phone over a tag on the car's side window.
Once inside, by placing your smartphone in the centre console, the Connectivity Concept allows content to be synced from the smartphone to the car, which is then displayed on a central seven-inch touchscreen. The phone is charged wirelessly too.
The Connectivity Concept was shown on a current Hyundai i30, and can also save a particular driver's personal preferences for radio stations, seating positions, door mirror settings and more, tailoring the car to that particular driver's profile saved on their smartphone.
Hyundai's Senior Vice President, Allan Rushford, explained that the technology is designed to "harness the all-in-one functionality of existing smartphone technology and integrate it into everyday driving in a seamless fashion."
Hyundai has developed the Connectivity Concept in conjunction with semiconductor firm Broadcom Corporation. The firms are also working on improved lane departure warning systems and reversing cameras for future Hyundai models.

Historical Traveler Reviews Aalborg Hotel Amsterdam
Small but fine !!!
I stayed there for 4 nights for business.
Room is tiny but very clean. Very friendly staff.
Looks like just renovated.
During my stay, the breakfast room was under renovation.
I suppose when this renovation is done, this hotel looks really good.
Several tram stops are located very close to the hotel.
Max. 10 min to the exhibition center, 15 min to the central station.
Not a luxury hotel, but I recommend this hotel for both business and private.
Spotlessly clean room
My single room was incredibly tiny and an older person would struggle with trying to take a shower in the even tinier bathroom.
BUT you get what you pay for and don't get what you don't pay for.
The bed was very comfortable and the room spotlessly clean. The breakfast was modest, but adequate. Absolutely fine all in all.
I broke my glasses when I slipped on a tram journey. The reception staff couldn't have been more helpful in finding me an optician to do an emergency repair.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to young people on a sightseeing holiday.
Just fine
A fine hotel for our needs on our trip to Amsterdam.
The purpose for our trip was to go to several concerts at the Concertgebouw, and as this hotel is a 10 minutes walk from the venue, this hotel was perfect for us. We only spent the nights at the hotel anyway, so we didn't need luxury.
The room was clean, the beds good and the bathroom just fine. Our room was on the first floor, 5 steps to walk to the breakfast room. The breakfast was basic consisting of corn-flakes, bread , toast, cheez, ham, salami, jam, boiled eggs etc. But we really didn't miss anything.
Will stay here again the next time we are going for a Concertgebouw concert-weekend to Amsterdam.
An experience
A group of colleagues and I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel whilst attending the ESICM conference at the RAI. For location it is excellent only 20 minutes brisk walk to the conference centre (6 minutes run if in a hurry). The town centre is about a 40 minute walk but it is easier to get a tram from the end of the road a number 4 or 25. There is also a great bar/cafe/restraunt on the corner of the park opposite the hotel. As for the hotel my colleagues and I had never laughed so much. Firstly they checked out my room a single with views over the park. Now this room (room 30) was small such that I could touch both walls across the width of the room and if I was any taller than my 6ft 2 inch I would have to sleep with my feet out of the window. The bed was reasonably comfortable but I dont remember spending much time in it anyway. The bathroom well what can I say? A pleasant british racing green tiled thing with the smallest bath I have ever seen. The bath incidently doubled as the shower and had a lovely slope from one end almost down to the plug hole. I guess a contortionist could bend to sit in the bath but I had a struggle to get in and nearly called the fire brigade to get out. Room was relatively clean and tidy, mind you the room wasnt exactly big. The TV remote did not work, no tea/coffee making facilities. My colleagues had a twin and a quad between them (There were no other twins left). The twin (room 1)on the ground floor had no opening windows and a broken window fan. The beds were so close together that it may as well have been called a double room. The quad room (room 12) had two beds plus some sort of fold down bed supposed to be a double (not) the bathroom was normal size with full size bath although the plug did not fit properly but this didnt matter as the water drianage was poor. Breakfast was okay with cereals yoghurt and ham and cheese not inspired but okay all the same. Customer service was variable with occasionally very helpfull and occasionnaly not at all helpfully but mostly in between. I would use this hotel again for its cheap price and location and as I wasn't spending much time in it.
I'm in my last night (of four) here, in Amsterdam for a conference. I booked into the Aalborg because it is convenient both for the RAI centre and the city centre/attractions, and less pricey than alternatives I was able to find on a 'net search (before finding tripadvisor.com). I've stayed at many far nicer hotels at one quarter of the price, but not in Amsterdam.
Rather a lot of people at the conference have reported disappointment with their hotels here. So lets start with what's good. The location is great, surrounded by some wonderful cafes, restaurants, and within reasonable walking distance of everything. The staff are pleasant. Breakfast is decent, though not inspired. The bed is clean and reasonably comfy. And I can open my bedroom window - or rather skylight - wide, without excessive traffic noise. Finally, there's wireless LAN, though it's intermittent.
Having said that, it's a disappointment overall. The bedroom is minute, and very cramped, and the bathroom even more so, so that taking a shower is something of a contortionists exercise. Combine that with the incredibly steep and narrow stairs, and it's definitely not somewhere to come if you're any fatter than me, or not too agile (hey, I'm fortysomething and overweight, but fit and healthy). The whole place is rather shabby, and the towels look clean but don't smell too good. There's no view at all. And although traffic noise is moderate, noise from within the hotel, including the lift, is not good. It's also quite a lot warmer than outside: that's OK now in May, but could be unpleasant in high summer.
Im beating myself up as to what to say....
My views on this hotel are quite mixed. We booked a quad room and when we arrived it turned out to be a twin room with a large single fold down bed. The duvet covers were not the cleanest and we had no towels..however, this was quickly resolved when we spoke to the chap on the front desk. Later that night after a few sherrys etc we returned to the room to see the store cupboard had been left open..with a mattress in it. Well we decided to take it and hope for the best!. It was obvious the following day that the staff were aware of us nicking stuff from the cupboard but it was graciously ignored.. Fab!. Hotel location is average.. although tram leaves from literally just round the corner and will take you to Dam square for about E1.60.. very regular as well. Also very nice little restaurant on the corner - great breakfast. Breakfast in the hotel was okay - if you like cheese and ham.. and eggs...and cheese. On the whole this was not the cleanest hotel ive stayed in, but the staff were great and prob the friendliest ive come across. Despite the hotel having a very, very dodgy lift.. and VERY small stairs, this was one of my most enjoyable trips.. so what can i say?. I think id say give it a go..what do you have to lose?!
Absolutely Fine
I was looking for a modest hotel for one night and found the Aalborg through a search engine. My room and en-suite were very small but with a desk and view of the park. My breakfast was very good and served in a pleasant dining room. I would certainly return to this hotel myself. The room was clean and I imagine that a family would be given a perfectly acceptable (and larger) room. Service was friendly.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. (AP) - A 24-year-old Franklin County woman has been convicted of raping a 13-year-old boy.
A jury of six men and six women deliberated for about an hour on Tuesday before convicting Ashley Turner of second-degree rape.
She faces up to 20 years in prison when she is sentenced next week.
The boy testified that he was in his room watching wrestling when Turner, a family friend, walked in. He said one thing led to another and the two engaged in sex.
Assistant Franklin District Attorney Doug Evans told jurors that under Alabama law, a 13-year-old cannot consent to sex.
Defense attorney Rebecca Green Thomason said the youth was the aggressor.

Victoria Falls — International Relations and Cooperation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said South Africa's re-election on Monday to chair the SADC organ for politics and defence Troika was an affirmation of the confidence the regional body has in Pretoria.
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) 15 Heads of State and Government, who are meeting for their summit at Victoria Falls, in Zimbabwe, unanimously agreed that South Africa should chair the crucial Troika. The Troika is responsible for promoting peace and security in the SADC region.
Lesotho was scheduled to take over the leadership of the security organ from Namibia. However, it's believed the country's internal political problems led SADC leaders to give the position to South Africa.
"This goes to the respect and honour that our region and our continent accords to South Africa, respecting the leadership of South Africa in matters of peace and security. In politics they say respect for leadership is earned, you command leadership, you don't demand it," Minister Nkoana-Mashabane said on the side-lines of the summit.
She said SADC felt that Lesotho still needed to be "accompanies" to conclude the political consultation process in that country, but Lesotho remains the deputy chair of the Troika.
Minister Nkoana-Mashabane said South Africa continued to be concerned about the political instability in Lesotho where the parliament was suspended last year amid fears of a coup.
"South Africa, in line with our own foreign policy, champions the African agenda of peace, security and development. There's no way in which we could achieve a developmental state if our neighbourhood is not at peace with itself," Minister Nkoana-Mashabane said.
"That's why we respond to such calls for us to lead the organ on politics, defence and security," she said.
One of the key issues discussed at the two-day meeting was industrialisation and beneficiation of the region's mineral resources. About 28 key decisions have been taken at the summit and were scheduled to be communicated to the media late on Monday.

Hi guys, I'm using this "wonderful" plugin for a customer but now I must admit I really can't use it anymore because most of its functions don't work with the latest version of WordPress and having a previous working version (3.3.2) like I did lead to an "Hacker Attack" that mostly destroyed my website.
I'm thinking what can we use instead of this plugin, I think that something like custom post ability with automatic contact form creation would be enough for us.
Do you have any suggestion?

Arcadia man killed in apparent drowning identified
ARCADIA — Officials have identified a man who died after being discovered unconscious last month in a backyard swimming pool.
George Karming Wu, 62, died at the Methodist Hospital in Arcadia about an hour after he was found floating in a swimming pool at his home shortly before 3:30 p.m. June 26 in the 1500 block of South Third Street, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Assistant Chief of Operations Ed Winter said.
He had been swimming when his wife discovered him in distress in the pool and sought a neighbor's help to pull him from the water, according to Arcadia police and fire department officials.
Rescuers treated the man as he was taken to the hospital, where he died a short time later, authorities said.
Though the incident was reported as an apparent drowning, an official cause of death was not available Friday pending the results of laboratory tests.
