"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

9 things to say at an eSports conference
Nothing is more important than appearing to care about eSports. This is particularly true in the agency sector, which has not felt this out of step with the zeitgeist since it pretended to know something about skateboarding in the early 2000s.

We are proudly announce our new audio editing service.
From now we provide audio editing services, so if you are looking for professional audio editors, who able to enhance your audio, and/or able to eliminate problems of your audio voice recording,
now you have found it.
We are here to help you.
We can help you with the following:
We are proud to announce that you can pay with Bitcoin for our audio related services, such as:
Giant things are happening in the world,
one of them is it seems like bad audio quality is undesirable finally.
Let us introduce you the PONO PLAYER high-resolution portable digital music player.
As an audio engineer I highly welcome this new audio pocket player.
The PONO Player able to play high-definition audio up to 192 kHz/24bit resolution, so now you can digitize your favourite vinyls and listen to them on public transport, or in your car.
I hope finally it can beat the iPod and MP3, so I don't have to fight against them anymore.
The Pono Player plays MP3 too, but trust me, you don't want to listen to MP3's anymore :)
I can't describe you how happy I am, and how I hate these compressed file formats.
Only little minus that I dont think this little player is ergonomic due to its triangular design.
It would not be comfortable when you sit down with a PONO Player in your hip-pocket.
Good news for professionals that they can use the 2 3.5mm jack outputs in balanced mode, so only thing they need is two small stereo jack-XLR adapter or cable.
Technical specifications:
Music formats
Music resolution
Lossless playback at up to 192kHz / 24bit
|128GB total - 64GB flash memory plus SanDisk 64GB microSD card included
|Expansion slot
|Supports microSD cards of up to 64GB
|Digital-to-Analog convertor
Large 2900mAH Li-Ion rechargable for up to 8 hours of playback time
AC universal adapter (100-240 VAC)
|USB cable
USB-to-MicroUSB cable
2.5 inch color touchscreen
|Audio output
Two 3.5mm (1/8 inch) jacks, supports four listening modes
130 grams (4.6 ounces
13x5x2.5 cm (5x2x1 inches)
Anyway, the two 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) audio output jacks offer you four modes of operation:
1) personal
listening mode via headphones or earbuds,
2) home stereo or in-car listening mode with fixed volume output,
3) PonoShare mode with two pairs of headphones/earbuds,
4) balanced mode provides ultra-performance for advanced users, separating left and right channel outputs across the two jacks. Great for use with high-impedance headphones, high-end home stereo systems, or professional equipment using balanced XLR input connectors.
Audio files can be loaded onto the Pono Player using the Pono Music Center desktop application (soon to be released on Windows and MacOS). The PonoPlayer can also be sideloaded as a USB storage device (Windows, MacOS, Linux).
Hurry up to pre-order! (ammm, yeah it's pricey)

Let's see 17 or more tips and tricks before you start to record your podcast. Please take my advice, everything on this list is very important to get a good sound quality podcast at last that is ready to podcast mastering. Please, feel free to ask more in the comment section below.
If now you have a lot of MP3's, after the cutting/ trimming/ mixing processes don't save back them to MP3 again (avoid double compress), use lossless file formats (as I marked above:
.wav, .aiff, .flac)
Record the mics to separate channels in your recording software, it will help in mixing it separately
Happy podcasting!

If you spend money on quality audio equipments, like amps, speakers, headphones,
why would you cut corners on interconnect cables? Here's a test/ review of two audio cables, a common audio cable and the Mogami neglex 2549. Mogami is much used in audio studios, so it might be good for us as well to listen to music.
No, I am not sponsored by Mogami.
Usually in tests like this, a professional tells you the 'truth', and you believe him, because he is a professional. But now you can see and hear the difference, so you can believe your own eyes and ears.
As you can see on the pictures below, the Mogami cable is more senseless to low frequency hum than the common one. The hum itself and its harmonics, in this case 150Hz and 250Hz, are due to the frequency of electrical networks, which is 50Hz in Europe.
Common cable noise profile on phono usage
Mogami neglex 2549 noise profile on phono usage
OK now, let's see closely how these cables sound. The vinyl was the Daft Punk - Random access memories album, because it's a
masterpiece of sound engineering.
Sorry I can't upload the whole files, only samples because of the copyrights.
The original sample rate was 192kHz/32 bit, but I couldn't upload to sound sharing sites,
than resampled to 44,1kHz/16bit (normal CD quality).
Common cable sounds
Mogami neglex 2549 sounds
So here is the evidence, the Mogami sounds more detailed, precise, clean (try to concentrate to reverbs and snares), bright and its frequency response is as flatten as an ironed shirt, maybe it's worth the (not so much) money.
Don't worry if you didn't hear the difference, maybe your ears are tired now, or it will be come later in your life,
or you are in need of really good headphones or speakers.
Update: thanks to the Soundcloud audio compression... maybe I will change player widget...
Update no.2.: I've changed the audio player to Hearthis.at's, that is more flexible and cheaper than soundcloud. It can play .wav, .aiff, etc. You should try.
Used connections:
Neutrik gold plated RCA and Jack 6.3mm
Just found our new favourite artist Benoit Jammes, you can see his works in the flickr widget below or/and like
his page on Facebook. Have fun!

Here is a sample how we remove reverb from audio on video.
Our friend, Alban asked us, if it's possible, apply some de-reverberation on his video, because he recorded it in a very big, empty hall, and it sounds very "roomy".
Please note that the video was taken with a mobile phone, so it's not perfect, but perfectly suitable for presentation.
The sound of the video is not mixed yet, what you hear on it, is only the applied de-reverberation. Sounds much-much better, isn't it?
If you are interested in audio clean-ups, please visit our audio cleaning service
Sometimes you don't want to hear annoying room ambience on samples when you are mixing,
or on the recording of the new episodes of your podcast or screencast.
Of course with the modern methods you can decrease ambience more or less.
Listen to examples below:
That's what we call tape hiss or tape noise, but this example also contains a few pops too.
That type of noise is coming from the tape itself through the reel to reel or the audio cassette player.
If you are lucky, you can remove tape hiss as it is, whithout significant damage to the source audio.
Listen to example below:

Davies is expected to earn his fifth full cap when Wales take on Belarus in their final Group Five match at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
Our outstanding midfield prospect, still just 21, has come on leaps and bounds at Spurs since his arrival from Peterborough United in January 2000.
Hughes insisted that the emergence of Davies, Matthew Jones, Craig Bellamy and Jason Koumas was the good news from a campaign that has yet to yield a victory from nine games - although his side have drawn six - and Wales could still finish bottom.
Veteran striker Hughes, still in the Premiership at Blackburn, has had to contend with growing criticism of late, but he said: "There have been a lot of negatives flying around, but we only have a certain amount of people at our disposal.
"The positives for me from this campaign are these four young players breaking through into the squad. It was me who pushed them forward.
"They have been given the chance and then gone back to their clubs full of confidence and ended up with a run of games in their first teams. That has in the long run benefited us because they have gained top-level experience."

The article suggests a common book report format. It can be useful while writing your own book report. It's generally a very simple type of assignment that doesn't take long to complete, but if you have no time for that, feel free to contact us and we will write it for you.
When given a task of writing a book report most students give a deep sigh in response. The reason for this is quite simple – they are just not sure where to start and feel overwhelmed. In the meantime, writing book reports can be fun, and we are serious about it!
A book report is usually done in a form of a regular essay and is generally similar to a common essay format. A book report should consist of the following major elements:
When you are working on a book report, you need to introduce your book to the reader. You should mention the author, the title and the year the book was written in. Sometimes it helps a lot when you also mention the circumstances that influenced or inspired the author to write the book you are writing about. This move will benefit you in several ways: first, it will be interesting for the reader and secondly it will show your professor/marker that you took those extra pains and researched the background of the book.
Although there is no strict requirement onto the contents of the body of the book report body (reminder: the common 5 paragraph essay should contain 3 body paragraphs), it is a good idea to repeat the same pattern in your writing. Describe major characters, use quotes from the book and/or examples that illustrate their personalities. You can dedicate a separate paragraph to each character; that way you will have three paragraphs to make up the body of your book report. It's a good idea to discuss the plot of the book, say a few words about its major symbols, themes & motifs, and slowly exit out towards the conclusion.
This should be the final part of your book report. Use logical words and other connectors to ensure text coherence and cohesion. Remember your conclusion when working on your introduction and writing your body paragraphs. The key idea is to introduce your key point in the topic sentence of the introduction part, then elaborate on that idea in the body of your book report and then come to the logical denouement of your paper by reiterating the ideas of the introduction and the body in the conclusion section of your paper. Since you are writing a book report, you could say a few words about the overall impression of the book e.g. whether it achieves your goal, whether it's interesting or boring and whether or not you could recommend it to other readers.
This is a basic book report format. If your professor/marker has not specified your requirements, you are free to use the text above as a guideline while working on your own book report. Every teaching institution and even every teacher might send you his/her own requirements, so you need to rely on them for better results. Feel free to contact our writers if you need any kind of help with your writing tasks, starting from book report writing to book analysis and review. We are always here to guide you through!
Your control panel consists of two panes. Left pane is used to communicate with the writer directly. Enter your message in the text area and click "Send" button to send your message to the writer. For your protection, please avoid entering personal information, like phone numbers or email addresses.
Right pane has several boxes. In the Order Progress box you can see the status of the paper. The Assignment Criteria box is used to view your current assignment criteria or to upload additional instructions. Please note, that you cannot delete or change instructions. Please make sure you upload all instructions before the project is started.
The Additional Information box contains information about the writer. It also shows revision status, if revision is in progress.

Martin Johnson: Understudies move to centre stage
England are about to retain the Ashes here in Melbourne with what might loosely be described as their 2nd XI
Let's not rub it in too much, because the Australians – as we saw with their captain's behaviour with the umpires on day two of this Test match – are never less than jolly good sports when things aren't quite going their way, but England are about to retain the Ashes here in Melbourne with what might loosely be described as their 2nd XI.
When England were winning in Adelaide, the closest Tim Bresnan and Chris Tremlett looked likely to get to the action was in bringing out cold drinks, fresh batting gloves, and the occasional towel. However, with Stuart Broad getting injured, and Steve Finn leaking a few too many runs despite being their leading wicket-taker, Bresnan and Tremlett – as former coach Duncan Fletcher was fond of saying – have put up their hands and come to the party. And it should be quite a party at that.
Bresnan doesn't look like a streamlined modern cricketer, more of a throwback to the era when quick bowlers lived on meat pies and pints, and all had enormous posteriors. His favourite food is his mum's Yorkshire puddings, and one of his hobbies is scuba diving, which is a brave thing to take up when you're in danger of being harpooned by a passing whaler.
His appetite has been the source of gentle mickey taking in the team, not least by Graeme Swann and Jimmy Anderson, but he's living proof that you don't necessarily have to live on specialised diets to get the best out of yourself. His batting is a couple of notches higher than handy, and it was his reverse swing which knocked over Australia's top order yesterday.
However, while Bresnan took the wickets, Tremlett – as he was in Perth – again looked the pick of England's attack. At 6'8, he's a pretty mean sight for a batsman taking guard, but is only just beginning to believe in his own ability. He was also thought to be not quite mean enough to make it at the highest level – no-one can recall having seen him sledge anyone – and it drove Shane Warne to distraction when Warne was captain of Tremlett's former county Hampshire.
Warne said that he tried everything to get Tremlett to be more aggressive, and labeled him a "bit soft." Otherwise, said Warne, he had the ability to become the best bowler in the world, which was quite a statement, but on the evidence of this series, he's become a very high class performer.
Yesterday, he continually beat both sides of the bat, on every occasion reacting with no more than a half raised eyebrow and a slow trudge back to his mark to send down another one. Not everyone in this England side has Tremlett's ability to shrug off close calls, though, and he was twice called back by Strauss and his behind-the-wicket-fielders to join in a conference about whether to refer appeals to the TV umpire. Tremlett himself wasn't interested on either occasion, in stark contrast to the over-excitable Matt Prior, who would refer everything if it was left to him. As a rough rule of thumb, Strauss must by now have worked that if Prior thinks it's out it's not worth referring, and if Prior thinks it's not out, it probably is.
Tremlett didn't bowl especially well with the new ball, nor did Anderson, but so accident prone is this Australian side, that England got the lift they needed to get them on a roll by, of all things, a run out. It's a careless thing to do at any time, never mind when you're over 400 behind on first innings, and only Shane Watson will know why he called Phillip Hughes for a daft single when they were already past 50 at five runs per over.
For once, Ricky Ponting came in with at least some of the shine gone off the new ball, and he managed to bat for more than an hour and a half and 73 balls. But this is not the Ponting of old, and he was in worse form at the end of his innings than when he started it. For some reason Ponting keeps getting himself squared up in defence, and the ball from Bresnan which got him was a routine off-stump delivery to which Ponting played as though trying to dig out a shooter from down by his toes.
There is nothing light in Ponting's world at present, apart, that is, from his wallet. The match referee had a dip into it after his second day histrionics with the umpires, although – especially as he has "previous" in this area – you wonder quite how far someone has to overstep the mark to qualify for a suspension.
Four thousand pounds, or thereabouts, is a derisory amount for someone who can spare that much for tipping restaurant waiters during a five Test series, and it won't be much of a deterrent to control himself in future. Although quite how long a future he now has as captain of Australia, is a matter of some debate.

The anti-anxiety medication Xanax effectively helps patients with anxiety and panic disorders. The drug works quickly, but patients also develop a tolerance to the drug in a short amount of time. Most experts recommend using the benzodiazepine for short periods of time to prevent addiction. Treatment options are available to effectively treat people with an addiction to Xanax.
Thank you for filling out our customer survey. We greatly appreciate all the feedback you've provided!
If you would like to provide us any additional feedback, please feel free to contact us at email@example.com
Doctors usually prescribe Xanax for short-term use, because patients quickly develop a tolerance and need higher doses of the drug to experience the same benefit. People who misuse Xanax by taking high doses can overdose and experience severe side effects like respiratory depression or coma. Long-term abuse of Xanax can cause depression, aggressive behavior and psychotic episodes.
The side effects of Xanax can be amplified when people mix the drug with alcohol or other substances. While the mixture can lead to a short-term "high," mixing benzodiazepines with other substances also amplifies symptoms of withdrawal and harmful side effects.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration lists Xanax as a Schedule IV controlled substance, meaning it has a lower potential for abuse compared with other addictive drugs. In 2009, Xanax was involved in the majority of the 363,000 emergency department visits involving central nervous system depressants.
People with a substance abuse disorder involving Xanax need medical treatment to recover, because quitting benzodiazepines abruptly can cause life-threatening side effects. Rehabilitation centers help patients slowly stop taking Xanax while treating withdrawal symptoms and other medical issues.
Benzodiazepines like Xanax don't cure anxiety or panic disorders, but they effectively treat many symptoms. Xanax can cause more severe side effects when it is taken in high doses or abused.
Common Xanax side effects include:
Many people who abuse Xanax also abuse other substances. They may combine Xanax with alcohol or other drugs, to achieve psychotropic effects. Mixing drugs vastly increases the risk of overdose and death.
|Side Effects of Abusing Xanax
|Slurred speech
|Shallow breathing
|Extreme drowsiness
|Loss of coordination
|Side Effects of Abusing Xanax
|Slurred speech
|Shallow breathing
|Extreme drowsiness
|Loss of coordination
Long-term use or abuse of Xanax can lead to dangerous side effects.
People who use or misuse Xanax for long periods of time can suffer life-changing side effects. The brain physically adapts to the presence of Xanax when it is regularly exposed to the drug over long periods of time.
As biology changes, so does the person's lifestyle. People who regularly abuse Xanax forget about things important to most people. Long-term Xanax use also increases the risk of becoming addicted to the drug.
Lifestyle side effects from long-term Xanax use can include:
One of Xanax's strengths is also one of its dangers. Xanax acts quickly, swiftly relieving symptoms of panic and anxiety disorders. It also leads to dependency quickly, increasing addiction risk.
Xanax abuse commonly occurs among youth and college students seeking what they perceive to be a safe "high." In 2014, 7.4 percent of high school seniors reported abusing a depressant like Xanax at least once in their lifetime and 4.7 percent abused it in the past year. Benzodiazepines like Xanax account for about 30 percent of annual deaths from prescription drug overdoses.
People who misuse or abuse Xanax are the most likely to develop an addiction. The brain becomes dependent on Xanax in a very short period of time, so when people addicted to Xanax stop taking it abruptly, the brain reacts negatively.
The withdrawal symptoms from stopping Xanax can be serious, and experts recommend seeking medical treatment for rehabilitation.
When someone quits using Xanax, they experience withdrawal symptoms quickly, because of the short half-life. A half-life is the length of time it takes the body to excrete a substance.
When Xanax is no longer present in the brain, the body goes into withdrawal. In severe cases, withdrawal symptoms can include fever, seizure, hallucination and death. That's why it's important to seek medical help when recovering from addiction.
Xanax withdrawal symptoms include:
Patients undergo slow, supervised detoxification. There isn't a pharmacological treatment available, so rehabilitation centers help patients feel as comfortable as possible while treating symptoms of withdrawal.
Behavioral treatments like counseling, group therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy can help patients adjust to life without Xanax. Withdrawal symptoms are typically felt during the first day of detoxification, and the worst of the withdrawal symptoms are felt during the first few days. Depending on the severity of the addiction, it may take weeks or months for a person to fully recover.
Xanax treatment takes time, but it is effective for patients who seek rehabilitation.
Pharmaceutical company Upjohn, a subsidiary of Pfizer, introduced Xanax in the U.S. in 1981, almost 20 years after Roche introduced Valium (diazepam). Valium had been the most widely used anxiety medication in the '70s, but Upjohn proved Xanax could treat panic attacks, and it became the first drug approved to treat panic disorders.
As diagnoses of panic attacks rose, so did Xanax's sales. With more than 50 million prescriptions annually, Xanax is the most popular anti-anxiety drug in the U.S. Unfortunately, increased drug abuse numbers followed the drug's market success.
Emergency department visits involving alprazolam more than doubled from 57,149 in 2005 to 124,902 in 2010. Incidents involving patients ages 25-34 tripled from 2005 to 2011, and 81 percent of those cases involved multiple substances of abuse.
One of the most common combinations was with one of the most dangerous substances of abuse. About 36 percent of emergency department visits also involved prescription opioids like oxycodone or hydrocodone. Opioid overdoses account for more deaths than traffic accidents annually.
Xanax is now available in a variety of generic medications, and doctors continue to use it to successfully treat anxiety and panic disorders. But patients prescribed Xanax should use it with caution, talk to their health care provider in-depth about their symptoms and never give it to family or friends.
Patients who believe they are addicted to Xanax should seek medical treatment. Rehabilitation centers can help people recover from Xanax addiction and return to normal life.

Every few months, it seems a rumor crops up about plans from Mazda to revive the rotary engine. Last November, its CEO said the only way another one could happen is if the project was profitable, and then a month later the automaker showed off the Mazda2 RE Range Extender with a 330cc Wankel engine mounted in the rear. Now, Australian auto site Motoring reports that the PHEV may actually make production in the next-gen Mazda2 sometime after it's initial launch.

There is a special place in our hearts reserved for the Mazda RX-7. Its screaming rotary engine made the '80s and '90s a time of high-revving fun. While Mazda continued the rotary with the four-door RX-8, the two are not the same car, and eventually the latter was phased out.

Mark it down, auto enthusiasts. Mazda built its last rotary engine on Friday, June 22. By final, we mean the line that assembled Renesis engines for Mazda's RX-8 sports car was idled, and there are currently no plans to restart its production. Mazda has a long-running history of building Wankel powerplants, and its production of the high-revving engine has seen a few stutters since Mazda put the first dual-rotor Wankel in a production car in 1967. Of course, it's always possible that Mazda

In the soap opera saga of are they or aren't they still developing a rotary engine, Mazda seems to have indicated the affirmative. According to a translation of a Tweet from Mazda PR posted on a Japanese car blog, a "new model with a next-generation rotary engine" is in development.

- Aaron Richardson

At the end of 2011, the Mazda RX-8 rotary-powered sport coupe/sedan will cease to exist in new-car showrooms. With it, the mass-produced rotary engine will take another hiatus. The original plan was to have the Renesis, the world's only mass-produced rotary, come back maybe as early as 2017 in a new sports car. In fact, we just heard reports that Mazda's rotor-obsessed gearhead engineers were still manning the program, albeit at a reduced pace.

Fear not, rotaryphiles. According to a report from The Detroit News, Mazda isn't giving up on the rotary engine anytime soon. Though the RX-8 is headed for the production guillotine, Mazda execs have apparently confirmed that engineers are working on a more efficient and more powerful version of the Wankel. While the project was technically back-burnered during the economic downturn, the research wasn't canned outright. That means that there's a chance that the rotary could make a comeback. What

: LCS Goes Into The Danger Zone
January 23, 2013:
The Chinese Navy has faced a serious problem with feeding its crews on long voyages. This is because traditional Chinese food is time consuming to prepare and uses more water than Western chow. You can cut corners and provide simple (and unappetizing) meals on short training voyages and get away with it. That does not require much manpower or lots of water but does little for morale. The officers usually get fed better but the sailors expect that.
On longer voyages quality food is an important element in maintaining morale for the entire crew. This was discovered over the last four years as China sent 13 Task Forces (3-4 ships each) over 4,000 kilometers to Somalia for anti-piracy duty. These ships were away for six months or more and the navy was forced to innovate to keep the food appealing. The solution turned out to be more Western style food. This worked mainly because most of the sailors were young and keen to try Western food. This stuff is still relatively expensive (but very popular) in China, if only because a lot of it relies a lot on meat (burgers and chicken). Chinese officers had studied food service in Western navies and noted that the Western navies were able to use more equipment and automation as well as pre-packaged items to greatly reduce the manpower (and fresh water) needed to prepare attractive and nutritious meals.
All this was seen on the new Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning, which has a crew of 2,500 and is expected to go on training cruises lasting a week or more. Operating a carrier, especially one conducting a lot of takeoffs and landings, is very stressful for the crew. So burgers, fried chicken, and reheated frozen Chinese dishes are served. This is expensive but it maintains morale and the ability to keep the busy schedule going. The Chinese Army has also been forced to use pre-packaged foods (like Western MREs) for combat operations where time consuming food preparation was not practical. Of course the Chinese have long (for thousands of years) used rice balls for emergency rations. The new prosperity in China has led to entrepreneurs developing traditional Chinese dishes in storable form. This has provided the armed forces with a constant supply of new ideas on how to keep the troops supplied with satisfactory food while on the move.

The SFO said that a £22 million inquiry had been launched into breaches of the discredited UN oil-for-food sanctions that enabled the Iraqi dictator to accumulate up to £1 million.
The inquiry was prompted by a UN report that listed more than 2,200 companies from 40 countries that may have been linked to bribery or "kickbacks" to Iraq.
British companies listed in the report by Paul Volcker, a former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, include GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca

Parking in Rotterdam

Parking in Rotterdam
Rotterdam maintains a strict parking policy. If visiting the city by car, make sure you're up to date on Rotterdam's parking policy and make sure to pay your fees. Read up here on parking locations, fees and P+R car parks in Rotterdam.
Rotterdam maintains a strict parking policy. If visiting the city by car, make sure you're up to date on Rotterdam's parking policy and make sure to pay your fees. Read up here on parking locations, fees and P+R car parks in Rotterdam.
Parking in Rotterdam
It is possible to park in the street in much of Rotterdam, but it is often safer and cheaper to choose one of the many parking garages. There are both municipal and Q-Park commercial parking garages, and fees vary widely, from as little as 12 to as much as 28 euros per day.
On Sundays and holidays, parking is free in most of Rotterdam. However, parking in some areas of the city is too high in demand, and therefore remains paid-for even on these days. Fees are indicated on the parking meters; payment can usually be made by PIN, coins or credit card, but the precise available options vary per meter. Failing to pay can net you a hefty fine and in some cases can even result in your car being towed, so be careful!
P+R (park and ride)
If you are looking for more affordable parking, the P+R car parks around the city offer a good solution. These car parks lie within a few minutes' travel by public transport from the city centre. Well-known P+R parks are P+R Alexander (the ideal location for Alexandrium shopping centre), P+R Slinge and P+R Kralingse Zoom (near Erasmus University). The P+R car parks usually offer hourly and daily rates; a day ticket costs about €17.
For more addresses and information about parking in Rotterdam, inquire at your lodgings or with the local VVV tourist office.

You don't say how long you have lived in the property. There are laws regarding what is known as "Adverse possession". Prior to 2003 you had to have had access to, and quiet possession of the land in question for 12 years; after that date, subject to specific conditions, the time period is 10 years, The law is complex, and you may wish to take advice on the subject. But if you raise the issue and the true owner comes forward, you may have to abandon any claim for adverse possession. You didn't raise the issue when you bought the property, and the land is not included in the deeds. It may be an uphill struggle to have any meaningful claim to ownership or rights to the land in question. A solicitor would be best able to help, I think.
Rules governing planning permission for a playhouse used to be max 4metres height (3 metres to the eaves) and 1 metre away from a boundary. Rules change, so it is worth double checking. But with all neighbour (potential) disputes, it is sometimes better for all concerned to talk first.
Evangeline - have you spoken with the neighbours? Do they realise how upset you are? It may be some sort of compromise can be reached on a friendly basis rather than relying council intervention. But I do like the suggestion from Obelixx - and you would be able to enjoy the roses for years to come, long after next doors' little darlings have grown up!
Long Tailed Tits come into our garden mob-handed. Suddenly there is a twittering and a squawking, and there they are, taking over the feeding station. Then - as suddenly as they arrived they are gone. Shame - they are such pretty birds: it's a pleasure to have them as visitors.
I sympathise, and agree that Pansy's magic medicine will probably work wonders!
I also have in my medicine cupboard an emergency dental repair kit. Last Christmas I, too, broke a tooth just before the big day. Fortunately it wasn't painful - just sharp, so I filed it down a bit with an emery board . But ever since then, I have the emergency kit ready if needed! (Bought it in Boots - part of the DenTek range. Not cheap - but a lot of peace of mind!)
Get better soon daisy - hopefully it will be a whole lot better by this time tomorrow.
aym - I was going to PM you: it is fantastic! I really mean it: doing the exercises every day has made a huge difference, and instead of limping around feeling sorry for myself, I have been able to walk without limping (mostly). So thank you for your help - I shall keep up the good work of exercise and vitamins etc and hope that it will continue to improve!
Happy 2017!
Oh, aym - my post was but a joke! It wasn't meant to be taken seriously. But I congratulate you on starting an interesting thread. And perhaps we need a Get-,me-out-of-the-January-Blues thread of what we would like/will aim to acquire in the year ahead!
This year has seen many famous people depart this world, and the end of the year seems to follow the pattern.
That said, I have to confess that, when a commentator on the radio said that everyone would know this chap, I really, hand on heart, wouldn't have recognised him if he had walked through the door. And I find it really, really hard to think of a duo as a "band".
OK - I'm old, grumpy and I'll get me coat . . . . .
Son is with us over Christmas and New Year. His cat is with us, too. Love him (and son) but I have to confess to being less than enthusiastic about his using my newly-created raised flower bed as a giant litter tray (usual indoor variety being provided and ignored).
Yay! Poinsettas = top of the list! Mine is lovely: red and Christmassy.
Now, for 2017 - that's another question. Hmmmm - thinking long and hard about what I would like, in an ideal situation, and what would be a compromise of what is practical.

The world knew Charles Lindbergh as a daring aviator, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and controversial isolationist during World War II. His wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, was a bestselling author. To their five children, they were Father never Daddy and Mother. Charles, a stern yet loving father, was surprisingly affectionate and playful; Anne provided a great, gentling love. With remarkable candor, their youngest daughter provides a rare, intimate look at her legendary family...the pervasive impact of her brother's kidnapping and death...her parents' long, loving, but complicated marriage...the night her life and her mother's converged, as Reeve's own infant son died suddenly. With grace and insight, Reeve Lindbergh appraises her remarkable parents, her unusual childhood, and the troubling questions that remain. At once an eloquent reminiscence and a slice of American history, Under a Wing is, at its core, a heartfelt tribute to an extraordinary family.

Imagining the Lindberghs
In kindergarten, one of my brothers told a friend on the playground that our father had discovered America. At about the same age, I dreamed that he was God. The relief brought by that revelation shone upon me the next morning like the bright rays of dawn. If our father was God, it explained everything: why we called him "Father," when all of our friends called their fathers "Daddy"; why he had so little contact with the other families around us, and yet so many people spoke about him with a kind of reverence; why we had to eat Pepperidge Farm bread at home rather than Wonder Bread; why the house shook when he was in a bad mood; and why I could find him in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
I am the youngest child and second daughter of Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. My father, Charles Augustus Lindbergh, became internationally famous in May 1927 for making the first nonstop solo flight from New York to Paris, in a single-engine Ryan monoplane called the Spirit of St. Louis. He was twenty-five years old. My mother, Anne Morrow, met him in December of the following year when he made a goodwill trip to Mexico, where her father was serving as the American ambassador. She was twenty-two. They were married in 1929 and lived together for more than forty years until his death in 1974.
As fliers, my mother and father explored the world together, mapping air routes for the aviation industry in its infancy. As writers, they published many accounts of their adventures and their thoughts. His best-known volume was The Spirit of St. Louis, describing the 1927 flight. Hers was Gift from the Sea, a philosophicalmeditation on women's lives in this century.
When they were young parents, close to the beginning of their marriage, my father and mother suffered the death of their first child, Charles, as the result of a highly publicized kidnapping. My mother was pregnant at the time with her second son, my brother Jon. After Jon was born, my parents retreated from public life in order to raise him, and then the rest of their children, in protective privacy. They moved many times before I was born, seeking quiet and avoiding the press. They lived in England, in France, in Michigan, on Long Island, New York, and finally, just after the Second World War, bought the house in Darien, Connecticut, on the shores of Long Island Sound, where I grew up. Over the years they became so successful at this effort to remove their family from the public eye that many people are unaware that there were more Lindbergh children after that first, lost baby whose story was so well known, and whose brothers and sisters never knew him at all.
In fact, there were five of us: Jon, Land, Anne, Scott, and Reeve, three sons and two daughters. We grew up as the children of celebrities, but because our parents worked so hard to remove themselves from celebrity life, our understanding of what that meant was fluid and imperfect. It remains uncertain and idiosyncratic even today. We Lindberghs still know ourselves best as a tribe: close-knit, self-enclosed, and self-defining, always prepared to be besieged by invisible forces upwelling from the past: the famous flight, the kidnapping, the controversy over our father's isolationist stance just before the Second World War.
Although it is now more than twenty years since he died, we are still directed and dominated by our father's strength of character. Although she is more than ninety years old, often confused in her mind, and in fragile health at this writing, we are still redeemed, gentled, and sustained by our mother.
"Was I married?" she will ask me, her eyes wide with astonishment at the thought. Or, "Are you my sister?" But when my own sister, her other daughter, Anne, was dying, and I could do nothing to help Anne, could not stop the process, I put my arms around our mother and cried because I thought my heart was breaking, and also because I thought that she, my greatest comfort all my life, was now too disoriented even to understand what was going on. But my mother embraced me in return, and she wept, too, in her flannel nightgown with the pink rosebuds on it, and she patted my head and then said exactly the right thing.
"You never did anything wrong, Reeve. You never did anything wrong."
In our family it has always been hard to know what is right and what is wrong, in terms of what we can do for one another. It has been hard for us, too, to separate individual identity from family identity. As the youngest, I imagined growing up by virtue of a succession of transformations, becoming first one member of my family and then another until I had been handed benevolently all the way up the line into adulthood. By the time I was twelve I would have my brother Scott's forgetfulness, his bashful grace, and his ability to befriend snakes and turtles. At fifteen I would be Anne, with straight blond hair and a blue-and-white-checked bikini, small-featured and arrestingly lovely to look at, playing her flute with fingertips faintly scented by the oranges that came to us in crates from Florida once a month, which Anne peeled and ate, one after another, all day long. Later on I would be Land, a cowboy and a cattleman, and then Jon, with mask and tanks and flippers, exploring the sea.
Beyond Jon there were only my parents. In trying to imagine who they were, entertaining the possibilities of who I could become through them, my images of entitled reincarnation blurred and became much vaguer, more diffuse, and thoroughly improbable. My sources for these imaginings ranged from the tabloids to my favorite fairy tales, and with their help I could blend my parents' legendary inaccessible accomplishments with my own fantasies: rescuing people from burning buildings, being President, being Peter Pan, flying without wings.
We were not a typical 1950s suburban family. We never owned a television set during my father's lifetime, we did not attend church or belong to any community organizations, we were not allowed to eat candy or read comic books in the house, and when a biographer asked me recently whether my father knew who Elvis Presley was, I could not tell him, not for sure.
I would quite often find pictures of my father in books and magazines when I was growing up, and I would recognize him at once, even though the photographs invariably showed him as a young man in a flying helmet, and had been taken almost twenty years before I was born. All the same, the boy flier belonged to our family, I knew that. His eyes and nose, cheek and chin, his life and his story were unmistakably ours. If he was not exactly the father I knew, then he was like another older brother, living forever in the same image, in a life that did not touch but still ran parallel to my own. When I look at these photographs today, I react in the same way. This face is familiar, and familial. It is part of me and what is mine, but it is also distant and inert. It will not move or speak. This face will remain stuck in its historical context like a fly in amber, where it belongs.
Once in a while, though, I come across a photograph of my father from my own childhood era, not the slim young man in the flying suit but someone older, grayer, and heavier, with thinning hair. He is standing with a group of airline officials, perhaps, or among scientists at Bethesda Naval Hospital. He is wearing his navy blue pinstripe suit, and is in his conversational stance. His head is slightly tilted for listening, partly because he is deaf in one ear from the engines of early airplanes, although he won't admit it, and partly because at six foot two inches he is accustomed to talking with people who are not as tall as he is. His weight is off one foot, so he can rock back infinitesimally on the other. He is a shy, courteous man who will not inflict nervous agitation on himself or other people, but he is generally more comfortable in some degree of motion. His right arm is crooked at the elbow and his right hand forms a loose fist, thumb pointed up.
I am sure he is about to say something to his colleagues, and that he will begin with some cautious phrase like, "I think we have to remember. . ." He will then punctuate his statement with a quick emphatic jerk of that thumb, as some might point a forefinger, to make his point. I am not at all sure, though, that he is going to stay on the page, the way the boy aviator does. This man really is my father, after all, and he might walk right out of history and into his family life again, as he has done so many times before. He might walk across the gravel driveway, down the stone path, and through the arched front doorway of the old house in Connecticut where the rest of us are waiting, and then he will close the door behind him.

I picked up this book to read the inside flap and had to buy it! Ms. Lindbergh writes with a humorous style that caught my attention from the first page to the last! I was unable to put the book down. I was able to relate to the protectiveness of her parents, to the way she was in awe of, and feared, her father. Perhaps what happened to her older bother had an affect on all parents afterward. I enjoyed reading of her life with her siblings,too. They were a regular family, just with a known name.
