Vouchers and Discounts
Do you have any special offers?
If you book our E-tickets online you can receive a discount on admission. Please note you do have to book these at least 24 hours in advance. Click here if you would like to purchase our E-tickets.
Do you accept Tesco Day Entry Tokens?
Yes, we do accept Tesco Day Entry Tokens on the door on the day of your visit. You will need to exchange your Clubcard points for Colchester Zoo admission ticket/s and bring the voucher/s with you to enter. Please ensure you check the validity dates and any entry restrictions before you visit. Please visit the tesco website here to redeem your vouchers.
Please note that you can only use one token as payment of one admission ticket, they cannot be used as payment for tickets purchased in advance over the telephone or online. Please note that no monetary value is attached to these vouchers, no change can be given and they cannot be used in conjunction with other discount vouchers. They are for standard admission only. Tesco Day Entry Tokens cannot be used for payment of Gold/Platinum Passes, food or any other product within Colchester Zoo.
Colchester Zoo Days Out Tokens can be used to visit Colchester Zoo on Magic of Christmas days and Halloween Fright Nights but a fee will be charged to access certain secondary attractions within the park on these special event days.
Please be aware that generic Tesco Days Out Clubcard Deals Vouchers have not been issued for Colchester Zoo since July 2014 and so are no longer accepted as payment towards your visit.
Do Blue Peter badge holders receive a discount?
It is with regret that Colchester Zoo has reluctantly decided to withdraw from making a promotional offer to Blue Peter Badge Holders. Unfortunately, as a privately run zoo that receives no external funding whatsoever it is not viable for Colchester Zoo to allow completely free entry to badge holders and it has always been necessary in our terms and conditions to insist that we generate a full paying adult's admission from the offer. Unfortunately visitors appear to feel that this is unfair to those that have worked hard to gain a Blue Peter badge and so as not to cause any further bad feeling we have taken the sad decision to withdraw the offer with immediate effect. Colchester Zoo has therefore no longer been part of the Blue Peter Badge Scheme since June 2016.
Do you offer a student discount?
We do not offer a student discount unless you are visiting within a school group and a booking has been made two weeks in advance.
Gold and Platinum Pass Enquiries
Can I visit Colchester Zoo without showing my Gold or Platinum Pass?
No. Please be aware that it is a condition of your free entry that a valid Gold or Platinum Pass is shown at the zoo entrance. If you do not bring your card with you admission will be charged and cannot be refunded.
I have lost my Gold/Platinum Pass, how do I go about getting a replacement?
It is a £5.00 fee for a replacement pass, if you have lost more than one pass in your family, it would be a flat charge of £5.00 to cover the cost of all. If you happen to have your pass/es stolen; providing you report it to the police and are issued with a crime reference number, we would be able to replace them free of charge as a gesture of good will. Replacement passes need to be organised & paid for in advance over the telephone and the passes will be left at the entrance for collection on your next visit. It is not possible to issue replacement passes on the same day that you wish to visit.
Animal Enquiries
Do you take unwanted animals?
Unfortunately we are unable to take any animals or unwanted pets. To seek advice on what to do with an unwanted animal or pet please contact the RSPCA or similar charity. If you simply require reptile advice, please try the Essex Reptile and Amphibian Society on 01621 816721.
Can I hold or touch the animals?
We have a minimum contact policy with most species held at Colchester Zoo as it is not in the welfare interest of the animals. Neither is it safe for members of the public to have immediate contact with dangerous wild animals. Only the Keepers have contact when absolutely necessary i.e. when veterinary care is required. There are however, opportunities to get close and personal with some of our friendlier animals. If you visit the Discovery Centre at any point throughout the day you can hold and stroke a variety of minibeasts. We also have our new Sensation Station area where we house minibeasts and a variety of other scaly and fuzzy animals. Zoo staff will have a variety of animals for you to meet up close and touch. Please note that on quiet days these encounters may only happen at set times, please visit the Sensation Station on the day of your visit to check times for close encounters.
We also have various Keeper Shadowing and Keeper for the Day schemes available to participate in where you can go behind the scenes at different enclosures within the Zoo, helping with food preparation, some cleaning out and learning more about how the animals are cared for. Find out more here.
Zoo Keeper and Keeper for the Day Enquiries
How do I become a zoo keeper?
Career advice on how to become a Zoo Keeper can be found on the careers page.
Can the Keeper for the Day schemes be varied?
Unfortunately the keepers' time is very limited so it is not possible to deviate from the set programmes i.e spending more time on one animal section than the other.
Job and Work Experience Enquiries
How do I find out about current job vacancies?
If you go on to our website, click on 'about us' and select 'jobs'; you will find a list of our current job opportunities.
Does Colchester Zoo offer work experience placements?
Colchester Zoo offers work placements in various sections of the zoo. Placements are granted following an application and a successful interview. For further information please visit our Work Placement page.
Charity Fund-raising Prizes
Does Colchester Zoo provide raffles prizes for fundraising?
Colchester Zoo is happy to help local fundraising activities, wherever possible. We ask that you put your request in writing on headed paper and send by post to: Complimentary Ticket Requests, Colchester Zoo, Maldon Road, Stanway, Colchester, Essex CO3 0SL.

GOP Candidates Seek Treatment For Heroin, Not Necessarily Other Drugs
Four decades after Republican President Richard Nixon coined the phrase "war on drugs," many GOP presidential candidates are urging an end to one of its central tenets, agreeing with Democrats to treat low-level drug offenders rather than incarcerate them. The Washington Post says the Republicans are selective about who is deserving of their compassion. A

In our last update of the FX50, we reported on the Lane Departure Warning system, whose incessant beeps can become especially annoying. We then received an e-mail from Infiniti PR guy Kyle Bazemore, who informed us that the system can be permanently turned off. Huh? (Guess we should have checked the manual.) To deactivate the system, simply depress the LDW button for four seconds, and voilà! Better yet, to reactivate the system, say, for a long highway stretch, simply hit the button once. With the bothersome beeps under control, it's much easier to enjoy the plush interior. Per associate Web editor Kirill Ougarov, "The cabin is laid out intelligently with good ergonomics and materials."

Busy week.
This is the first bus to have the new 38 service put into the destination. Lots of buses being done today to also include the Jpt service numbers following the acquisition this afternoon of the company. Details are on the twitter page I believe. @stagecoachgm if your interested.
Friday, 18 April 2014
Just spotted this green thing running on the 118 in the city. It's got jpt markings on it but I have not seen it before. I heard this week they were to close at the end of the week and now I read an article on Stuart Valentines site saying the are to continuing trading. Tonnes of other stuff going on surrounding this news but until next week we

Oldham Rd bridge
Took a couple of pictures of the inside of the bridge which is currently being demolished. Disruption hasn't been to bad yet whilst Oldham Rd has been closed just one way. Will see what happened when they close the road completely this month. Always interesting to see all the pipes and lines that run under our roads.
Sunday, 23 March 2014
I came across this on the way to work this morning. Looks like it happened through the night and been left. Don't think it will be going anywhere soon.
Ride out
I managed to get a few hours out on my bike this week. Ended up going upto Diggle which was nice as I haven't been up there before on the canal. Quick coffee and cake and back to Stalybridge where I had dropped the car off for a repair. Hoping to get out more this year work permitting of course.

Oldham tram
It's hardly recognisable now. This is the new interchange at mumps. I think it looks pretty good and well worth the wait. The second picture is a casualty of the tram. This building on Union street is ready for collapsing more than likely due to the tram lines recently built so close to the building.

This is the row of buses that was at the reebok on Saturday thought is share it. I did a trip from Bury which is run out of Middleton depot.
New arrival
This just turned up on the 350 service out of Ashton. This is one of the buses that will be going to Finglands in the near future
I hear.
I hear.
Monday, 24 February 2014
Though I'd share this. Came in to Ashton This morning with some Dukinfield drivers on it. Not sure where it's going to end up though.
Friday, 21 February 2014
Just at southern cemetery and saw this on the 99 service. I would have thought First bus would have their names on these buses by now. We did!
Thursday, 20 February 2014
Doing a bit
It's been a while since I did some driving so decided I would do a bit on my day off. Today is the 171 then the 112. Easy enough routes out of Middleton depot. It's a first for me as I hadn't been to Middleton depot until this morning so very much a novelty day.

This yellow ways school bus just caught my eye. Not had chance to look up its origin yet. Nice paint job though.
Wednesday, 12 February 2014
Very nice
Do like this demonstrator we have at the moment. I think it just looks cool in the silver with the logo on the side. Seen on the 168/169. Not much happened today until about 4pm when it felt like Armageddon had begun luckily I got away by 5 so missed any real problems.
Monday, 10 February 2014
More hybrids
Had this come through Ashton in Friday. These will obviously be going onto the 50 service. Since it's expansion to Salford it has been busier than ever. Now with free wifi and green modern buses I'm sure it will only get busier and more popular.
Tuesday, 28 January 2014
New colours
Saw this earlier today. New colours for the training buses. Personally I'd like them in normal colours and back in service but that won't happen sadly. I was going to head into oldham to have a look at the trams on Union street but got carried away doing other things.
Sunday, 26 January 2014
Bit grim
Just arrived into Piccadilly to start my early shift. It's very grim wet and miserable. I haven't had chance to post much in the past 9 months with doing different jobs and being rather busy. But back to normality now so I thought is give it another go.
Not too any service changes today so it shouldn't cause me any problems. Only problem at the moment is the drunks who just don't know when to go home.

Just got these pictures from a friend at oldham depot. I think they are streetlites. Not been on one but they look ok.

Feeling Blue
It's hard to figure out who is lucky enough to own these two darts. Oddly they are both Bluebird buses
Operating the 396 395 out of Ashton. Wasn't sure why there was two of them!
Don't know what's happening with the takeover but time will tell I'm sure. Lots of things going on with my career at the moment but won't go into too much yet but I hope to bring a different angle to this blog. Not decided yet.

Subject | Logging SQL parameters |
Date | Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:17:04 GMT |
Hi all, Yesterday I opened OPENJPA-1678<http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1678>to suppress SQL parameter logging in exceptions and trace. While making the SQL values visible is a great benefit when debugging, it can present a security issue in production (e.g. if the column is a social security number). To resolve the problem I've posted a couple of patches to the JIRA. They both boil down to adding a configuration option in openjpa.Log or openjpa.ConnectionFactoryProperties to enable/disable parameter printing. This brings up the question of what the default behavior should be. With something like this I'd prefer to err on the side of caution and disable parameter logging by default. It'd be easy to not notice the parameter values while testing an application (or to be unconcerned with them since they're 'dummy data') - if you hit an error in production it's too late and the cat's out of the bag. Does anyone feel strongly about the correct default (either way)? -mike | |

Detailed Description:
Radiosurgery can be performed using multiple Co-60 sources, a modified traditional gantry-based linear accelerator, or a robotic linear accelerator. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. Co-60 radiosurgery has very precise target localization by using a rigid immobilization device. The requirement for rigid immobilization limits its treatments to the head and neck. Robotic radiosurgery permits precise radiation to be delivered without the requirement for rigid immobilization. Robotic radiosurgery uses real-time imagining, allowing it to track the cancer or internal structures as they move during treatment. Another advantage is that it can deliver many small beams of radiation (as many as 200) in a limited time period and can treat lesions anywhere in the body. A traditional gantry-based linear accelerator normally requires some form of immobilization and requires more time for multiple isocentre set up but can provide both radiosurgery and conventional treatments.
Brain metastases occur in up to 50% of patients with cancer. It has been reported up to 65% of patients with brain metastases will present with one to three lesions. This represents 18,000 patients in Ontario each year who would be eligible for radiosurgery as part of their management. Randomized trials have demonstrated improved palliation and overall survival when radiosurgery is added to conventional whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). As a result the treatment of brain metastases currently represents the largest resource use for radiosurgery. During the commissioning and initial use of the first robotic radiosurgery device in Ontario (CyberKnife) the investigators became aware of its potential advantages for the treatment of brain metastases. Treatment planning time and on treatment time with robotic radiosurgery appeared to be better than with a traditional linear accelerator and patients appeared to be more comfortable with the minimal/ non-invasive immobilization required. Surprisingly, there were very little direct comparisons of robotic radiosurgery with other techniques in the literature and only one prospective randomized trial comparing two different approaches to delivering Co-60 radiosurgery was identified. Given the increasing importance of radiosurgery and the resource implications for radiation treatment programs in Ontario, this study is proposed to conduct a direct comparison of robotic to traditional linear accelerator radiosurgery for brain metastases. The primary outcome will be treatment planning and delivery time and an important secondary outcome is patient comfort. Treatment planning time will include immobilization preparation, CT simulation, image fusion, radiation planning and treatment plan quality assurance. Treatment delivery time will include patient set up, target localization and treatment delivery. The Juravinski Cancer Centre (JCC) and McMaster University are uniquely posed to perform this comparison with access to both robotic and linear accelerator radiosurgery techniques as well as research methodology expertise in clinical trials technology assessment, and health services research.

Allow the game Fighting is Magic to continue development by Mane 6
Mane 6 has worked hard on this game, putting a great deal of time and effort into making it a great game to be enjoyed by fans of the show as well as the fighting game community. Allowing continuation of development will raise awareness of the My Little Pony brand among those who are currently unaware or unaccepting of its current form, and does not compete against any existing Hasbro product, display Hasbro or its trademarks in a negative manner, make profit from Hasbro's intellectual properties, or inappropriately claim ownership of any such products.
I personally vow to not purchase a single Hasbro product until I find evidence that this petition or its message has been enacted, and hope that others signing this petition do as well although I do not intend signing as any declaration of such intent. I have purchased from Hasbro in the past, and until now had planned to do so in the future.

The two-year old tiff between Prakash Jha and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar seems to have finally ended as the two have sorted out their differences and put an end to the bitterness between them.
Jha had flown to Patna to pay condolence to Nitish and his family after his mother had passed away on Saturday. Jha's act of concern has apparently brought them together again.
"When I heard about Nitishji's bereavement, I did reach out. At a time like this one sets personal concerns aside," Jha told Mumbai Mirror.They had parted ways in 2009 when Nitish Kumar did not approve of Jha fighting elections on a ticket from his party, reported the tabloid.
At that time the filmmaker had said, "Yes, Nitish Kumar and I were friends. We both felt Bihar needed a change and I actively campaigned for him during the last elections. But please note, I never joined Nitish Kumar's party, I have never even seen his office. I did express my desire to contest elections. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. So I had to look for an alternative and procure a candidacy from a party that was credible."
However, now they have put the past behind them and reunited. All is well that ends well!

Discount Watch Store is proud to be an authorized Bulova watch dealer. You will find Bulova watches at everyday sale prices. Discount Watch Store prides itself on offering cheap and inexpensive pricing for Bulova watches.
Bulova was first founded as the J. Bulova Company in 1875 by Joseph Bulova. Bulova is the first watch manufacturer to standardize and, indeed, mass produce watches. This bold leap took place in the quiet town of Biel, Switzerland in 1912. By 1919, Bulova struck gold with the American public due to his Avant Garde style of watchmaking, which was also relatively cheap to purchase.
One of this manufacturers most heralded innovations was that of the Accutron, which used a resonating tuning fork to regulate the time. This tuning fork became the symbol for Bulova. In 1923, the company was the first to use a radio advertisement and in 1941 was also the first company with a paid for television ad which cost the brand a whopping $9.
Today, Bulova is owned by the Citizen Watch Company but still holds true to its credo of manufacturing quality timepieces at discount, sale prices, which it has done since the beginning. Bulova has been an iconic figure of the American landscape for over a century, and the company has been recognized the world over for their timelessly classic timepieces. When you think of luxurious watches, you can't help but think of Bulova. Bulova has proven time and time again that their stylish appeal never fades. A Bulova watch can be worn anytime for any occasion and always be the right choice in a time piece. There are a variety of Bulova styles to choose from. But once chosen, the Bulova client never has to make is whether or not they will receive great craftsmanship and state of the art technology when it comes to Bulova.
Since the company also manufactures high-end clocks, they are very sensitive to the need for lasting craftsmanship and attention to detail. Being able to create timepieces that translate across the board from large wall clock, to a delicate women's wristwatch, to a men's large-faced timepiece is a distinctive and impressive feature that is built in to each and every style of watch that Bulova offers.

2004 Ford F-150 Regular Cab 2dr Regular Cab FX4 4WD Styleside 6.5 ft. SB (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
This is a great truck, im pretty much an expert, basically, the shocks make it have a smooth ride, there is a feature in the front that absorbs shock from an accident, the braking was designed excellently, the truck puts out 80% of its peak torqe at only 1,000 RPM, making pulling heavy loads from a dead stop easier, and it has a quiet ride so you dont have to hear someone elses music at a stoplight. I would reccomend the 2004 Ford F-150 to anyone!
Outboard shocks, Safety, speed, performance.
8 Ft. Bed available in 5.4 Lt. v8.
I have to tip my hat to the engineers that designed the 2004 FX4 regular cab truck. I have bought a lot of new vehicles over the years, and this is the best designed vehicle I have bought. You may not believe it, but it is better designed and the quality is as good, if not better than the brand new 1976 Corvette I bought years ago. This is an AWSOME TRUCK. This is the vehicle I've waited for. If you test drive it, you will most likely buy it. This truck is not the old and boring style that Ford stuck with for too many years and it is also nice to have that H/P we had in the late 60's-early 70's. Ford proved to me it made the best truck this year!
I love the interior look of the truck. You're engineers did an excellent job. All of of your engineers did an excellent job . Again, it is an AWSOME TRUCK. You finally gave a good truck the look it needed. You stepped up!
NONE!! ..... If you think some Ford employee wrote this review to give Ford such an excellent review, that it not the case. I have been an 18 wheeler driver for over 30 years, and I have learned to know a good vehicle when I see one.
2004 Ford F-150 Regular Cab 2dr Regular Cab XL Rwd Styleside 8 ft. LB (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Great Truck, Like the engine, bedsize, tow package and new regular cab design
5.4 Liter eng
2004 Ford F-150 Regular Cab 2dr Regular Cab STX Rwd Styleside 6.5 ft. SB (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Nice smooth quiet ride,Plenty of power with the 4.6 v8,great gas milage 18mpg
standard CD sounds great too standard tilt steering
I have been driving a Toyota Tacoma and it was fine but I wanted a larger full size truck. I gave the Toyota to my daughter and went truck shopping. I test drove a reg. cab Tundra but every thing on a Toyota is now an option-I am surprised they come painted. I found the F150 with the eight foot bed to be what I wanted. As soon as I saw it I knew I would be buying that truck. The one I bought had the trailer towing package installed-I didn't have to spend a weekend putting a hitch on it. It also came with limited slip axle, may never need it but its there if I do. I took it back to have the dealer install the factory type cruise control.
Whats not to like, the interior is functional the exterior is sharp. The eight foot bed will hall all kinds of bulky cargo.
I don't know of any, some people think the 4.6 is under powered but it's as much power as I need.

Today I went to Whole Foods to shop for dinner. I love Whole Foods, so much so that I am a proud shareholder (and a not-so-proud investor, who bought the stock at $65). I was pushing a heavy cart of groceries through the store, my son perched in the child seat, and as I came to an intersection between aisles, a Whole Food employee was coming at me in the other direction – there was only room for one of us to make it by. Without missing a beat, he kept on walking, blocking my way and forcing me to wait for him to pass.
This sort of stuff happens so frequently in our society today, that many of you may be wondering why it is even worth noting. I fundamentally believe, however, that tiny acts of rudeness like this can be killers for businesses. I'm sure that this employee had somewhere to go – he may in fact have been on his way to help another customer – but that's not an excuse. From my perspective, this was a case of an employee in a service business not being polite to a paying customer.
As I said, this is pretty commonplace these days. Employees talking to each other while customers wait, or perhaps talking on their cell phone, giving directions in a store by pointing in the general vicinity rather than walking you to your destination, and generally showing indifference or indignance (is that a word?) to customer complaints. Service is at a premium, so much so that often the most basic customer support amazes us.
I started an SEM agency in 2008 and I'm doing my best to provide my clients bona fide good customer service. In the last year or so, my job has become even more challenging as I've started to hire team members. So with that in mind (and I will be sending this to my team members to read . . .) here's my best practices in SEM consulting customer service.
- The customer is always right, unless he's wrong, but even then, he still may be right. Every client has different needs and different objectives. As a consultant, it's important to understand these objectives, but also to question them. Clients occasionally make requests that go against SEM best practices. A consultant needs to bring this up to the client and help them understand the consequences of their decision. If the client still wants to move forward with the original plan, you have to accept this decision. The customer is right, unless he's wrong, but if he insists he's still right, he's right.
- In a connected world, response time matters, all the time. We all have cell phones and Internet connection at home, so unless we are sleeping or in a movie theater, we're always available. If a client sends an email or phone call, assess the urgency of the message. Urgent messages should be returned immediately, or within an hour, during the week, and within a few hours on the weekend. Less urgent messages should be returned within a few hours during the week, and by end of day on the weekend. SEM spend doesn't stop on Saturdays and Sundays – good customer service demands that SEM consultants are paying attention whenever a client's money is being spent.
- Admit – and compensate – for mistakes. We all make mistakes and sometimes those mistakes cost clients money. Admitting a mistake is important, but I also believe in giving clients credit for our mistakes. In one case last year, my team made a $10,000 over-spend for a client and I compensated the client the full $10K. It hurts to lose that kind of money (I was in Las Vegas at the time, so it made my casino losses seem more manageable), but if you promise to provide a service to a client and you fail to deliver on your promise, you need to take ownership.
- Every customer is the most important customer. If you accept a company as your client, they are your most important customer. Even if you have one client paying you $500 and another paying you $10,000, once you sign a contract with a customer, you are promising to give them the absolute best service, and there is no clause in the contract (at least in my contracts) that states that lower revenue clients will be given less respect than the biggest ones.
- Don't work with jerks, they'll turn you into jerks. You can't give good customer service to jerks, because they will never be satisfied no matter what you do. And you'll get frustrated and you'll probably become a jerk yourself. Jerks ruin customer service for everyone.
- The little things matter, a lot. That Whole Foods employee who cut me off today might well be the nicest, most helpful person in the Whole Foods organization, but his tiny decision not to give way to a customer has resulted in an entire blog post discussing a bad experience at Whole Foods (but, please, as I mentioned, keep going there and buy lots of their stock!). Customer service is not about giving someone a fruit basket during the holiday season or answering the phone with a friendly "good afternoon"; its a state of mind, an ongoing quest to delight every customer every day.
I know I have yet to perfect my customer service. This post is most definitely an "aspirational" one because I don't always deliver the level of service I describe above. But I work on it every day, and I try to instill this same ethic in my team members. And I do believe that simply thinking about customer service every day – making it a part of your identity as my friend Stacy would say, is the way to move down the right path.

Its too bad youve never had the oppertunity to push a 500+lb cart around a busy store. I wish you would apply your own logic towards not working with jerks to what a typical employee in the service industry faces when you consider who these people have to work with. The painfull reality that "The Public" includes Whipllash willies looking to sue at every opertunity, Quick change atrists, and professional shoplifters tryng to return stolen merchandise for the drug money they really meant to steal when you judge the clerk serving you. It isnt allways possible to stop that heavy cart on a dime when you have to take responciblity for the safety of yourself, and everyone around you as well as the product on the cart. But hey just tell him not to work with jerks so he doesnt turn into one.
Actually Mike . . . I worked for a year at Eagle Foods, which I believe is now part of the Jewel Supermarkets empire. I started as a stocker but eventually also did bagging and checking. I also worked for a year at Pizza Hut delivery. In both jobs, I did encounter my share of jerks, but I still contend that when you work in a service profession, you must always err on the side of "the customer is always right". And in the example I gave in my post, it was a "tie" at the intersection and I was not being a jerk, thus the employee should have let me go first!

The locale 'College Park' holds an entirely different meaning to different people depending on where they live in the US, Canada or Austrailia – which is all the more reasons your Church's title tag for its homepage should include the city and/or state (or province) in which your church is located …
… case in point #1
the phrase 'College Park' when entered into the search bar of the WikiPedia, which returns the following results:
- College Park, South Australia is a suburb of Adelaide
- College Park (Toronto) is the name of a former Eaton's department store building in Toronto
- College Park is a neighbourhood in Saskatoon
- College Park East is another neighbourhood in Saskatoon
United States
- College Park, Georgia is a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.
- College Park (MARTA station) is a passenger rail station located near College Park, Georgia
- College Park, Maryland is a suburb of Washington, DC
- University of Maryland, College Park is the flagship state university of Maryland and is located in College Park, Maryland
- College Park-U of Md (Washington Metro) is a passenger rail station located in College Park, Maryland
- College Park High School (CPHS) is a high school located in Pleasant Hill, California
- The Woodlands College Park High School (TWCP) is a high school located in The Woodlands, Texas.
… case in point #2
the phrase 'College Park' when entered into the search bar of the Google, which returns the following results:
Searches related to: "College Park"
- The University of Maryland
- City of College Park Home Page
- college park ga

… case in point #3
… case in point the home page entitled 'College Park Church' …
… which oddly enough, located on the internet at yourchurch.com …
… which after a several seconds of hunting through a rather annoying user, and almost unitelligable user interface that compells me to scroll left to right due to some overly slick DuHTML …
… is located in Indianapolis, In.
My point Is simply this …
… one of the primary conversion goals of your church website is to get individuals into the seats on Sunday mornings. Such individuals can and will help you meet this goal usually by entering a geographic location and a denomination, such as someone googling "methodist church chocowinity, north carolina."

Facebook shares fall from $30
The downward spiral of Facebook does not stop, and amid uncertainty about what happens to the social network in the bag, the company's stock fell below $ 30, being 20% cheaper price initial sale when the company debuted on Wall Street two weeks ago . This means that all those who bought shares in the first few days have lost money.
The Actions showed a decline of 9.34% at the time of this writing, reaching $ 28.9 USD on Nasdaq. We initially went on sale at $ 38 on 18 May.
The price started falling as we started growing concerns about the real possibilities that the company has to generate profits, which are apparently weaker than initially thought.
The most pessimistic forecasts indicate that the shares could still go down to $ 25 in July, while some even say that the decline would reach $ 16 by December.
The problem for Facebook is that there is uncertainty about their future, and possibly mistrust, two factors that drive down the shares of any company. The social network also can not get to talk to try to reassure investors, as is required by law to remain silent for 40 days after the IPO.
Domino Effect
Some have compared the stock market crash of Facebook with what happened in the 2000s with Boo.com , syndicated as one of the greatest examples of bursting. com. The site was launched in 1998 with the idea of selling clothes online. Before I sold one garment, had already spent $ 125 million to implement its plan without generating revenue.
Beyond the many problems I had to run as a company Boo.com, the blowout was a "wakeup call" to investors, who began to realize the bubble and that, despite the popularity that has a company, if you can not generate income, not work.
Thus, the problems seem to be reflected in Facebook shares of other companies on the internet. The Zynga shares have fallen steadily since the social network entered the bag, standing today at around USD $ 6 USD respect to cost $ 8 to May 18. The evolution of Groupon has been somewhat uneven, but also shows a decline, as well as Yelp , which could reflect a more general distrust on the future of these businesses.
It is too early to draw conclusions, but it is clear that the situation of Facebook will be talking about for quite some time.

Once the audition stages are out of the way, the 'Britain's Got Talent' are a chance for viewers to sit down and check out the most impressive acts of the year, from a host of different branches of the entertainment world.
However, with performances spread out over five nights during the semi-final, and a plethora of different artists appearing each show, even the most gifted and talented acts can sometimes fade into the background, which means we've sadly seen some of our favourites fall at the last hurdle, losing out on a spot in the final.
Even if they didn't manage to earn a coveted spot in the grand finale, though, they haven't faded from our memories. We're looking back over the past nine years of 'BGT', and choosing the stars we think should have gone the distance during their time on the show.
From show-stopping dance acts to shocking stunt performers, here are the 11 'BGT' semi-finalists who should have lasted longer in the series...

Hah-ooh cinosrepus! 'Selbanev, Nosnikta, Senoj-Nitram,' said Jennings. 'They're the names of people, I bet you can't guess who!' 'Russian agents?…Zulu tribesmen?…Ancient kings of Egypt?' hazarded Darbishire. 'No, no, no,' Jennings flipped his fingers in delight and danced ungainly ballet steps round the tuck-boxes. 'Oh, wacko! If you can't guess, neither will anybody else, so we can use it for the code.' Jennings is suffering from beginning-of-term-itis, but things soon return to the normal state of mayhem and confusion when his new diary is made public property! Alarmed at the thought of his most private thoughts being made public, Jennings decides to invent a secret language. Will anyone be able to decode Selbanev si a llopdolc? Drazo Hsivips! Inspired by a visit to the Natural History Museum, Jennings and Darbishire establish their own collection of ancient relics, but they are not out of trouble for long and when the precious diary goes missing, Jennings finds himself on the wrong side of the law! Relggowsnroh emoseurg!

It is the Easter term at Linbury Court School and Jennings has been promised five pounds by his aunt if he keeps up his diary every day. When he and Darbishire devise a code for entries, things really start to happen - the nasty incident of Wilkins's mark book is only one of them.

We already obsessed with this year's The Bachelorette, especially the undercover model we all hate to love Sam Johnston.
He has already more than ruffled enough feathers during his time on the show for his cocky, narcissistic attitude and brazen aspirations to become Instagram famous. Which basically means we cannot get enough!
Throwing fuel on the fire, he has been spotted cosying up to a girl in a photo just posted on Instagram at the races, that is definitely not Bachelorette Georgia....
Which let's be serious, surprises no-one as the pair don't seem to have much on-screen chemistry and he seems more invested in just having a good time on the show, which makes us think his time will definitely be limited.
The caption accompanying the photo of Sam and the attractive female is simply captioned " When Bae invites you to the races" followed up with a kissing emoji.
It certainly isn't a rose but it could definitely mean Sam's got an off-screen romance that has been brewing.
