Hi all,
I had to write this to point how unwieldy and unfriendly xmbc is to use and setup the first time.
* Install, no issue, all fine, start up the app and am greeted by the menu nice and quickly. Cool.
* OK, how to I add my media... oh, I see, here in videos there is an add source link. Righto, I'll select that, point it at my movies and say it's of type 'Movies' and click ok... nice. And I'll do that again and point it at my tv shows and say it's of type 'TV Shows'... all good. OK, one more time, I'll point it at my folder of videos I've made with the kids, and select type... um... erm, it's not TV, it's not Movies, it's just videos. No, it's not 'NONE', why would I create a source and label it 'NONE' that's just silly.
* Ok... now I want to look at my movies and tv shows. Um, it's showing me folders... that's very bland. How do I get it to show the files in a pretty way with art etc.? OK, go to the wiki... oh, I have to switch it to library mode. Right... done.
* Now I can't see anything, where are my movies? Where are my TV Shows? I can't see anywhere that it's doing anything, I can't tell it's scanning, I can't tell it's getting info. What is it doing, why can't I see my stuff?
Some time later and looking at the wiki etc.
* It would seem I need to tell it to scan my media into the library... why wouldn't that be on by default? Who would want their media in there without having it in the library? Even with there being valid reasons for not wanting to, the DEFAULT should be that it scans it.
* OK, now I can see my movies and tv shows, but why do the icons/banners/posters for all of them keep coming and going and being the wrong size for the things they are being put into? Why do are they blank each time I come into the tv or movie screen? Why are they not downloaded and just 'there'... this is very odd. They seem to redownload every time I come into the page, that can't be right (noticed with default and 'Alaska' skins)
* And I'm not seeing any episode screen shots
* And I'm only seeing fan art occasionally for movies, this is all very odd.
* My music scanning seems to have stopped and I don't know how to see how far through it thinks it is, or how to tell it to continue to scan.
* How to do ANYTHING of a setup nature on any of the folders is REALLY not intuitive, why would I press C? How do I know exactly which folder I should be pressing C on anyway? Why is there not some page I can go to to check on the status of the library for each of my sources and tell it to rescan or fix or continue or whatever? Why am I forced to guess at whether the scan is still going or thinks it's finished, or encountered an error? Why?
So... yeah. NOT a happy experience. I have been using MediaPortal for years now and never had this sort of pain in setting up. The clear split between the configuration application and the actual running application makes things a lot more clear and a lot more tailored to their purpose. The configuration app is very clear when it's done it's media scans (yes, you have to download plugins to do your tv show scraping and movie scraping, that's not there out of the box, but once you have they are a doddle to use), when it's had issues, how you might like to change the movie or tv show it thinks it's found etc. Same with music library.
I applaud the attempt at trying to make XBMC fully usuable and configurable using just the remote, I guess that comes from it originally being on the XBox, but to have the ONLY way to get to those features be by pressing 'C' or a button on a remote that is different from remote to remote, and is not hinted at anywhere in the interface is just downright not intuitive, not friendly and enough to make you (well, me) just give up.
And then, when I thought I was getting somewhere, and I could see my shows and movies, I could never get it to actually keep showing the posters or banners of them, why was it doing that? And why was it using banner sized images when it was in poster display mode or vice versa? It's all a case of NO feedback, BAD defaults and design decisions that seem to have been made without thinking at all how someone new to the app would possibly work out how to use it.
So, yeah... I tried it again because the Android App for controlling it is really quite awesome, and MediaPortal really has nothing to compare (iPimp is web based so not as tailored), but after a couple of hours of trying to get it anywhere near where I've got my MediaPortal setup I've given up, and been reminded why I gave up on XBMC the last time I tried to set it up.
Please guys, you have a pretty awesome looking project here that is being REALLY let down by its method of config and feedback on processes (scanning, scraping, downloading etc.).
And it's that initial hurdle that kills off further use I'm afraid.

As someone who bounced from Plex to Boxee and then finally to XBMC, I have to say you are completely wrong. Compared to either of those programs, XBMC was amazingly easy to use.
It sounds like YOU are the one who is stuck on his ways with MediaPortal, and can't put in the 5 minutes of effort it takes to get XBMC to work.

I had looked through those threads, which is how I got the thing even partially running. My main gripe is just how hard it is to get running without using those.
It really shouldn't be, it has pretty defined goals with adding media to it... it's straight video (No lookup, just create thumbnails, let me view the videos), or tv shows, or movies.
And a page which gives information about status of scraping and downloading and fanart etc. would be HUGELY useful.
It really is so close to being there, and I'd LOVE to be able to switch over to it just for the awesome Android App...
Just needs simple holding hand help on setup, and easier access to settings thereafter (without needing to remember which key to use), that's mostly it.

I second all of the OP's comments. I am not stupid, but have really really struggled with this. The WAF factor is really really low right now.
I am using Ember, but am stricken with movies not showing up, and with movies showing up twice. I run automated scans and clean library etc multiple times.
I am going to persevere but in comparison to WMC with Media Browser, this is very very difficult.

I too had trials and tribulations, the only thing that held me on point was the video mode and how easy it was to install and get up to running speed. But the herculean effort to show graphics and get everything into said library is quite much for the average mortal, but in the end the reward is there...
After all, for the most part... just clicking on a video in a set of genre folders and you've got entertainment on the PC... but the trick is to make it a pleasurable experience, with tantalizing eye candy, previews, short synopsis to enhance the sizzle.... you do want the sizzle!
Sometimes I think the program would have been better handled in a modular format, with scraping, playing, library and skins. But you have to look at the history to understand what it was, and were it's going... I think the developers have seen this and are now limiting the platforms, skins, official add-ons etc with a set of standards. Built from scratch to-day it might be a whole whack better but how many developers would be on board?
I just feel a little guilty when I upload a debug, need to pare the collection.

Yeah, I actually think it'd be a whole lot easier to have a single page for setting up your video folders, and setting their content type and managing their scraper settings etc.
For instance.
The first time you open the video page it can say 'You have no video shares enabled, would you like to go to settings->shares->video now?' one click, and you're on a page for setting up each of your shares and their settings, where they can ALL be listed in a table format for easier manipulation and checking on scraping status etc. No need for ugly 'press C' to get to config panel, no need for 'Add Source' to ever be in any of the 'front end' screens (I know you can turn it off, but it shouldn't ever be there, that's config, not use)
It surely isn't that hard to split that out, it's not changing the actual structure of how things are defined etc. just changing how and where you edit the settings.
Keep day to day usage of the app in one area (the main interface), and keep config of those areas ALL within the Settings area. Then each display area has ONE way of interacting with it, ONE goal, not this mish mash of admin and use all rolled into one confusing interface.

You might have forgotten what a pain MediaPortal was to set up. I don't recall it as being a pleasurable experience. I'll go back and have another crack when they release version 2, but until then I'm over it. I kind of agree with some of your comments. Maybe an appropriate message when the user selects library mode and the library is empty? Bear in mind the origins of the app, the target audience of tinkerers and enthusiasts. You're kind of expected to refer to the forums and the Wiki.

At the risk of restating the obvious, most issues SHOULD be resolved if you follow the steps outlined in the quickstart guide.
The reason scanning into the library isn't on by default is, mostly, because people have home videos like yourself. It'd be a major problem if XBMC spent 20 minutes scanning and trying to figure out what all the home video names are. As it is, you can add your folders, you can watch your videos, and everything should basically work even if you haven't added a single thing to the library, and the presumption is ALWAYS that a person is more likely to screw something up by default than not.
As for the banners coming and going... I've got no idea. That's never happened to me. I suppose you could always upload a debug log.
I think the long story short, here, is that you are used to the MediaPortal interface. I actually just tried going through the install procedure for that for the TV-Server, and discovered it at least as insanely confusing as you are apparently finding XBMC. We have preconceived notions about how these things are supposed to play out. When they don't do what we expect, we get irritated and frustrated.
As for the C button, honestly, XBMC is designed to be used with a remote. We've included the C button to lead to the context menu as a hack (for wont of a better word) for computer users. In a perfect world, you would never have to use a keyboard to interact with XBMC. In the Linux environment using lirc, that's often the case. Ditto when using XBMC Live. It's only when using XBMC in Windows that confusion happens.
d'Wooluf has kind of a good point though. A quick message suggesting a scan to the library when entering an empty library might not be a terrible idea.

No, I do remember that Media Portal was no walk in the park, but then there were guides online that stepped me through it exactly and it worked as expected after following them.
The guides here do highlight the things that the xbmc interface do not make at all obvious, and as said they got me to the point where it kind of works. But why doesn't it tell you anywhere the status of the scans. It is supposed to tell you in the info panel at the top of the screen, and it did for a while, but then went away, and then I'm left not knowing if it thinks it's finished scanning or if it had an issue, or needs a restart or anything. FEEDBACK is what this is lacking, in a big way.
At least in Media Portal, in the TV Series and Movie plugins you have a clear indication of the state of the scans, what they believe to be the entirety of your library and the easy ability to quickly rescan for anything they may have missed. I see nothing like that in xbmc.
Also, why are the three content types for videos 'Movies', 'TV Shows' and 'None', and can I see the 'None' while still seeing the other two, because doesn't having the system in library mode hide anything not in the library (which would be all those videos I have that are not tv shows or movies)? It really does not make it clear how to set up display modes on a per share basis and then show these easily in the main menu.

My post is trying to demonstrate how frustrating xbmc is to set up... coming from someone who has programmed computers since 1983, and still does as a living.
I do know tech, I do know software, and I know a bad interface when I see one.
ONCE you get xbmc setup I can see it can be a great way to access your media, but the initial setup is horrible. It's not intuitive, it gives little to no feedback, and does not gear itself to the primary use people probably want from it.
Comments like yours are how projects like this never get better 'Oh bugger off, I finally worked it out after wringing my hair out and trial and error, and damnit, so can you, I refuse to accept that this could be made any better'
Everyone else is giving FAR more constructive feedback than you sir.

Ha! Git and bugger are both English insults... from the motherland (I'm not, but they are)... so I did insult you in English
"Git is mild bad language with origins in British English for a silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, senile elderly or childish person. It is usually an insult, more severe than twit or idiot but less severe than ****** or ******* ."
"Today, the term is a general-purpose expletive, used to imply dissatisfaction, or used to describe someone or something whose behaviour is in some way displeasing, though in general Australian and New Zealand English the expletive force has largely disappeared; the word there now has a 'catch-all', almost humorous, 'Jeez' quality."
And I'm Australian... hence I use it that way.

This week on the blog, we're sharing all of our summer hair and makeup tips. We know prepping to walk down the aisle is a momentous occasion for any bridal beauty. So, look your best — right down to your nails and toes — with these shades, depending on your skin tone:
Fair Skin – Blush, Fuchsia, Beige and White. The term "blushing bride" will get a whole new meaning thanks to pops of pink. Or stay traditional with natural nudes or a french manicure.
Olive Skin – Aquamarine, Silver, Coral and Lime. If you're still searching for your "something blue," lacquer on a pretty periwinkle. Or if you want a modern effect, stick to a shimmery metallic finish like silver.
Dark Skin – Gold, Navy, Red and Orange. Rock red lips in confidence with a vintage crimson hue to match.

Don't expect the Jacksonville Jaguars to concentrate on making upgrades to the cornerback position once free agency begins.
Jacksonville starters Rashean Mathis and Derek Cox had their share of highs and lows in 2010, but they each finished the season strong enough to ease any immediate cause for concern and they should be more consistent in 2011.
There is a consensus among the Jaguars' fan base that either Mathis or Cox will be moved to safety this season. This logic stems from the idea that neither player is a full-time cornerback because of age (Mathis is 30) or overall ineffectiveness.
That ineffectiveness stemmed more from horrendous safety play than anything, as neither starting corner had much help behind him. For a player like Mathis, who thrives off of taking gambles, the lack of confidence that someone had his back had to hinder his play.
I feel strongly that safety is the problem position for the Jaguars, as both free safety and strong safety are more or less unsettled.
Once those positions get fixed up in free agency, Mathis and Cox should become much more impactful because they will be allowed to play with freedom.
Mathis has battled with various injuries the past couple of years (played in all 16 games in 2010, the first time he's done that since 2006) but when healthy he has the ability to be a fringe top-10 corner in the NFL.Plus he is entering a contract season so he will be playing with a little extra motivation.
Cox on the other hand has the range and fluidity to continue to improve into a solid starter and I doubt Gene Smith will let the coaching staff give up on his draft pick this early.
Smith, Jacksonville's general manager, told Jaguars.com that both players progressed as the season went on and that improvement should carry over into this season if other players on defense step up.
"Sometimes our corners are being stressed more than what they should be," Smith said. "Sometimes people put a lot on our corners in terms of challenging them to play exceptionally well. You can see all of their bad plays because they're beat for touchdowns, but I really believe as the pass rush improves and the safety play, the corner play will improve. It's all connected."
I do agree with Smith in that both corners were put in a tough position this year because of the lack of help around them. Both Cox and Mathis have too much ability to continue their up and down play and for now the Jaguars feel like they're set at cornerback.Tags: Derek Cox, Football, free agent, Jacksonville, Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL, Rashean Mathis

Whenever a team endures a 34-point loss and is shutout in their own building, there is plenty of blame to go around. With quarterback Mark Sanchez coming off one of the worst performances of his pro career, head coach Rex Ryan still gave his young signal-caller a vote of confidence.
"I think he's definitely our guy," Ryan said of Sanchez's starting status. "We've had some poor performances in the past, and not just from our quarterback, from our team, and been whipped pretty good. I'm confident we'll come back, I'm confident we'll respond and play much better."
The Jets hit an ultimate low on Sunday against San Francisco, tallying less than 150 total yards and failing to score a single point for just the fourth time in franchise history. When Ryan and company traded for Tim Tebow in the offseason, the front office anticipated Gang Green ascending the rushing ranks and successfully implementing a well-balanced dual-quarterback system.
So far neither has transpired and while Ryan refuses to give up hope, he admitted things haven't exactly gone as planned.
Tebow finally attempted a pass on Sunday
"I envisioned Mark Sanchez being our starting quarterback and Tim being able to have some roles on this football team," Ryan admitted. "I think you see that as a personal protector and I think you see those things (with) some of the Wildcat. "We haven't been as successful at running the Wildcat as I thought we would. I think that's fair to say, but again, without question, I'm not ready to give up on him. I think the Wildcat is tough to defend, and I've always said that. It certainly looked like it yesterday with them running their version of the Wildcat."
The 49ers' gadget offense featured former Nevada standout Colin Kaepernick carrying the ball five times for 50 yards including a seven-yard touchdown scamper for San Francisco's first points of the afternoon. Meanwhile, Tebow has yet to play beyond three consecutive plays this season, and when the coaching staff finally let the former Heisman Trophy winner attempt a pass, tight end Dedrick Epps promptly fumbled the football, just one of New York's four turnovers on Sunday.
With speculation growing that a change under center could be on the horizon for New York, Ryan is sticking to his guns and riding with his hand-picked quarterback.
"I just know in my heart, right now, that this is not the time," Ryan said of making a quarterback switch. "I think Tim (Tebow) is an outstanding player, I think Mark is. Right now, I think Mark gives us our best opportunity to win. I will always do in my opinion what's in the best interest of this team, and that interest is what gives us the best chance to win."

Football season is officially in session.
Any fan waiting along the LSU Tiger Marching Band's parade route to Tiger Stadium can tell you that the Saturday morning before the Tigers' season opener is where it all really begins. That's when the band holds its annual parade march rehearsal to the stadium, as it did this Saturday.
LSU football fans know the drill. The band gathers beside the Greek Theatre beside the Music and Dramatic Arts Building before each home game and rushes into formation at the screech of the drum major's whistle.
Then comes the march down a road trimmed in thousands of purple-and-gold-clad fans. There were fewer fans, of course, for the rehearsal than typically line the road on game day. But it was still a respectable audience for a hot August morning.
"We drove from Alabama especially to see this," Brett Davis said.
He stood along the route with his wife, Diane, and son John Michael.
"Our son, Allen, is in the band," Diane Davis explained. "He plays baritone, and this is his second year. We're so excited."
The family lives in Spanish Fort, Alabama, near Mobile. It's about a three-hour drive to Baton Rouge, but Brett Davis says it was worth the trip.
"We're big LSU fans," he said. "After seeing this, we're ready for football season."
"This really gets us revved up," John Michael Davis added.
Slidell residents Laura and Rebecca Tillman also use the word "revved" in their description of this tradition. They, too, have a family member in the band — trombone player Jarrett Tillman. He's Laura's son and Rebecca's brother.
"This definitely revs us up for football season," Laura Tillman said. "This is Jarrett's first year in the band, and we drove over just to watch him march to the stadium. We wouldn't have missed it for anything, and now we're definitely ready for football season."
Leading the band along the route was Mary Bahlinger, who will make her game debut as the band's new drum major when LSU faces the University of Wisconsin on Saturday, Aug. 30, in Houston's NRG Stadium.
But her true introduction took place the moment she blew her whistle at the Greek Theatre on Saturday.
Bahlinger is the third female drum major in the Tiger Band's history. The 24-year-old tried out three times for the position, finally achieving her childhood dream when band staff named her drum major in the spring.
"I joined my high school band just so I could one day be in the Tiger Band," she said. "I'm from Mandeville, and my parents drove in last night just so they could be here today."
And they stood among the fans, watching as their daughter held her baton high at the bottom of Victory Hill outside the stadium, bringing the band's 325 members to a halt.
Then the drums began their pregame fanfare, segueing into those first majestic notes of "Tiger Rag," marking the beginning of "Pregame" song.
Fans responded, but their cheers were only a fraction of the roar that the Victory Hill performance will produce before the LSU's first home game against Sam Houston State University on Saturday, Sept. 6. And the band is promising a few surprises as the season progresses.
"We're planning a really big halftime show later in the season, but I can't say any more than that," said Roy King, the band's director. "It's going to be a big surprise."
The band returned to campus in mid-August after marching in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin in March. It completed its two-week preseason session on Saturday.
"We have uniform inspection on Sunday," King said. "We learned the pregame show on Thursday night, and we already have the first part of the first halftime show in place."
After that, it's on to Houston, the only road trip for the full band this season. But for now, focus is on the stadium parade, which began an hour earlier than in previous years.
"The stadium crew wanted to get sound checks on the new sound system," King explained.
Which meant the band not only rehearsed its fight songs in the stands but was asked to play a few songs on the field. The sound system amplified each tune, broadcasting the songs throughout the campus.
Fans voiced their approval with cheers, and as band members moved into another parade formation in the bowels of the stadium for the march back to the Greek Theatre, tuba player Terrel Christie couldn't contain his smile.
He's a senior from Pineville majoring in wildlife ecology, and the 2014 football season marks his fourth year in the band.
"I've done this before, and it's always exciting," he said. "This is the peak before football season. Now we're ready for it to begin."

Falls among older adults have reached epidemic proportions. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related emergency room visits, hospitalizations and death for Ohioans age 65 and older. One-third to one-half of older adults acknowledges a fear of falling.
Falls are not a natural part of the aging process, and most falls can be prevented. To learn more, visit STEADY U Ohio.
Falls are not a normal part of the aging process, and most falls can be prevented. The number one cause of falls for older adults is poor balance, according to a study published in the Canadian medical journal The Lancet in October 2012. Thanks to the National Institutes of Health, here are some simple lower-body exercises that you can do at home or even when you are out and about to improve your balance:
Hearing, your inner ear, sense of touch and eyesight, also play into balance. If you have any concerns about your balance, you should talk to your doctor to rule out any medication interactions or sensory deficiencies and ask for advice when starting a workout routine.

J+J Flooring Group has been awarded ISO 14001 recertification for its Environmental Management System. J+J first certified to ISO 14001 in 2008.
The company received an outstanding review during its recertification, according Charles Lee, ISO assessor and member of the U.S. team that contributed to the development of the ISO 14001 standard. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the world's largest standards developer, and ISO 14001 is a comprehensive documentation of environmental management systems.
The 2014 recertification is the result of an organization-wide assessment that noted outstanding progress in J+J's environmental performance including:
The company-wide focus to recertify to the ISO 14001 Standard exemplifies J+J's corporate commitment to reducing pollution and minimizing environmental impacts on air, water, and land. J+J continues to adopt new environmental processes and systems and engage associates in sustainability initiatives at work, at home and in the community.
"As the third-party lead Environmental Management System Auditor at J+J Flooring Group for the past two years, I have noted that the company's commitment to not only improve the environment but to raise the bar for the carpet industry is exemplary," Lee said. "This reflects a genuine corporate concern for the environment. The program has accomplished significant reductions in energy usage, water usage and waste through implementation of not only state-of-the-art programs, but innovative technology as well."
ISO helps organizations minimize their operations' effects on the environment, comply with applicable laws, regulations and other environmentally oriented requirements, and continually improve on each of these. The ISO 14001 environmental standard was launched in 1996 and is used by organizations around the world.
J+J operates with steadfast commitment to sustainability. Since 1992, waste to landfills has been reduced by more than 90%, percent with facilities diverting 10 million pounds of material waste from the landfill annually. By the year 2020, J+J's 20/20 Vision calls for the company to eliminate waste to landfills and reduce water usage by 66 percent, energy usage by 20 percent, and GHG emissions by 20 percent. The plan also includes commitments to increase renewable energy by 10 percent and to produce products with at least 33 percent recycled, bio-based or renewable content.

ACS-SA KOA & Extreme KOA
The ACS-SA KOA blends
classical guitar concepts with elements of solid body design. The incredibly
comfortable neck from the Multiac Nylon is used here with a Maple body & a stunning, highly-figured Koa wood top. Although the
body is chambered, response from the top is more typical of a
solid body design than that of a traditional acoustic guitar. This design
results in an instrument that is virtually free of feedback, making
it easy to use even when the band gets loud.
The engine in both the
ACS-SA & ACS-SA Slim includes individual transducer saddles powered by a
customized preamp system from the RMCTM Pickup Company. This system not only
produces superb amplified sound, but also produces a hexaphonic output through
a 13-pin connector enabling direct access to RolandTM GR-Series guitar synthesizers.

Couldn't recommend Patrick enough, very helpful and went out of his way to ensure the job was done as quickly as possible. Even dropped the car back to my house which was great. I needed a new clutch and flywheel (£1250) for a Lexus IS250. Was quoted just under £2k by a Lexus Dealership.
great service Patrick is a life saver,he was very understanding and completed the work what was necessary to be done on my car and i'm over the moon ,can't fault him in any way.
The garage did a great job.
Excellent garage with great customer service. Will defo use again.
Patrick came to pick the car up, we discussed the repair that the car needed along with a few other things I've noticed. He went away and completed the job in good time, returned the car with no issues. Repair was a good standard and the handling is perfect now, the other issues he checked for free and advised on what may need doing in the future. What more could you ask of your mechanic? I will use Patrick & Automotive Components Specialists in the future, 10/10.
I left my car but then got delayed and with a young family the car is essential. The guys dropped off my car to my house without any issues ... Very appreciated. The car sounds and runs much better. A happy honest service. . Would definitely recommend
Absolutely fantastic experience. Great communication, great service, and quality advice and work. Highly recommended. Have also had some work done on my Jazz done there straight after!
Job done quickly and nicely.
Very fair price and was very happy with his manner and the way he dealt with me. Very happy to recommend.
I felt very safe leaving my car with Anees,he is very honest and friendly.Over all I am delighted with the full service on my mini and will definitely use the garage again.Many thanks
Excellent job outside in terrible weather but very professional. Turned up on time as promised and took the trouble to explain progress during the job. Happy to recommend.
Lee was very efficient. Arrived at the agreed time and did the job well. I have had the work checked over by my Audi garage and they confirmed that the job was done to a high standard! I would use Assist Autos again.
This service was brilliant, Lee and his colleague came to my place of work, two days after requesting the quote. They arrived on time, got on with the job, all sorted in 2 hours. Amazing, Thanks
Lee was great really easy he just sorted everything out picking up and dropping off the keys at my convenience. Clutch is smooth and working perfectly.
As I have dealt with Lee before I was confident that he would do a thorough job and to that effect he has...he diagnosed the problem and told me what needed to be done...i will work with him again as he is a local mechanic to me..i would definitely recommend
Garage provided a competitive and speedy quote for the work I required. They ordered a new air con condenser unit and fitted it the same day the unit was delivered to the garage. Air Con now works brilliantly. Ivy was very friendly and helpful and she answered all my questions. Garage is located behind a parade of shops with 2 separate entrance/exits that are clearly signed from the street. Having always used the VW main dealer for maintenance and servicing work I was nervous about using another garage but I need not have worried. I would highly recommend this garage and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
Access to the rear of the shops was a bit tight but everything with the repair went fine
So nice to go to a garage and not be patronised - thanks to Ivy!
Car is now running perfectly and drives smooth, after taking off my old clutch it revealed that my flywheel was damaged and it was clear it would need a new one, after not being able to source one from any suppliers the garage kindly kept my car for a little while longer while I ordered a lightened flywheel which they fitted as soon as it arrived - top customer service, thanks!
Did the work the next day in one hour, very happy. Thanks Galaxy.
Very nice guy that provided quick replacement of a window regulator on my Skoda for the price quoted. Would definitely recommend and will be using him again.
The service I recieved was really good but they weren't able to fix the fault
Very happy with the garage!
good efficient service with pick up and drop off and constant updates.
Had a service and MOT done by Ross Motors and I can highly recommend them, great customer service and honest talking. I will definitely go back when needed.
Absolutely perfect! Rob and team were extremely helpful and were able to fix an On going problem I had very quickly. They were able to do what other garages failed to do. I would definitely recommend Eagle Autos to anyone. Quick, easy and very reasonably priced!
We had a problem with my car, Eagle Autos Ltd completed the checks as we had discussed. They contacted me before they did any work to make sure I knew what needed doing. Everything was explained and broken down so I understood what each thing was. I ended up having a few bits done such as front suspension, front brakes, full service, MOT and even got a free car wash. I felt like I was dealt with professionally, their customer service is excellent. Thank you Ricardo for keeping me in the loop with everything and thank you to the technician for fixing my car. My husband used this garage for his van a few months back and he was very happy at how quickly and efficiently they dealt with his van. Thanks again, highly recommend Eagle Autos Ltd (South Wimbledon)
Great people, great service. Had my cambelt and water pump changed swiftly and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks!!!
Excellent service from Eagle Autos. My appointment was arranged quickly and the problem was investigated and dealt with within a couple of hours of dropping off the car. I was only charged what was originally quoted and the service was efficient and friendly. Higly recommended.
Steering pipes replacement, oil top up and suspension mount. At first wanted to get pipe sorted, I got a call from Roberto to fix suspension mount and top up oil added to the original issue. Car came back with a new noise. Didn't pay attention at first as I was away. Not sure what was fixed really, apparently suspension mount was also supposed to be be fixed but as soon as car came back, car started to make noise on bumps. Before that this noise was never there. My Friend came with me to test the steering wheel. The Car wheel became worse than before. And we did mention this at the garage and were told this was normal. However when he car was brought, Roberto did mention that the steering wheel has an issue as it's quite hard. Anyway.. Not a good experience. I was going away on holiday, before that I brought the car to BMW to do a service where they've top up the oil as well before bringing it to eagle autors, I verified my service paper after and realised that i have been scammed in paying for the oil as well. Please be careful.

Remember this casting call for Portlandia Season 3 filming on campus?
Portlandia TV Show Features Multnomah University Campus
Portlandia filmed a number of sketches for season 3 for two days this past summer and we had a blast. The Portlandia film crew and actors were some of the best people we've ever had the privilege of working with. It was great seeing Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen hanging around the Admissions Offices or sitting in the commuter lounge of the JCA or sweating it out for three hours with Dr. Dan Lockwood in a very hot Mitchell Library because the sound guys needed the AC turned off!

Ooooh I love turkey meatballs. And on a sub even better!!
I've never tried turkey meatballs, but these look delicioso I may just have to give them a chance!
Mmmmm…I love meatballs!
Thanks for sharing on the College Football Tailgate Link Party!
These look fabulous, but I'm trying my best to count my calories……..anyone hazard to guess what one sandwich would be?

Fantastic! Thanks for the help…and the subs are well within a healthy calorie count!
This was a yummy meal! I added jalapeno peppers for extra flavor and a bit of spice! Will definitely be making these again!
Worked wonderfully.My only issue was after baking them for 30 minutes it didn't seem done. I took them out the other and fried them in olive oil for less then a minute. Not as healthy as with the oven but hey at least its not ground beef.
I tried this recipe and it was delish! Thanks Six Sisters!
Made this and hubby went bananas, he said it took care of his meatball sandwich craving. I'm telling you he's in LOVE with food, but what man isn't.
I made these and me and my boyfriend loved them! For the steak seasoning i used the hot and spicy one just to add some kick and added more of the garlic! So delicious!
These meatballs are amazing & so easy to make!! I'm throwing out my old meatball recipe and definitely switching to these! Thanks for the great recipe!!
Came across this recipe and thought I would give it a try. I was blown away with how delicious and moist these were! I have to say that being my first time making homemade meatballs I was a bit skeptical on how they would turn out but found them super easy and quick to make! For sure my go to recipe!
Great meatballs will make again, again again and again!!!!!!!!
These are the best turkey meatballs I have ever eaten. I always make a triple batch and freeze two batches to have later for spaghetti and meatballs, Hoisin Asain meatballs over rice (awesome recipe from Pinterest) and even for meatball appetizers if we are having company. These are always in my freezer for a wonderful, quick meal. Another bonus is ground turkey is cheaper than ground beef, but my family enjoys them just as much as beef meatballs. Thank you so much for this recipe!
These turkey meatballs are FANTASTIC!!! I always make a double batch because these freeze very well, but I must admit, they don't last very long in my house!

The Planning Commission voted Thursday against allowing a financial service and lending company to open at Pacific Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway because of concerns over its alleged predatory practices.
Pennbrooke Financial Services, a car title loan company, has been met with nothing but opposition from Long Beach residents and the Wrigley Association since voicing its plans to move into a derelict building at the location.
The vote, 3-2 against, with Commissioners Becky Blair and Alan Fox voting in support, came after strong community opposition at the meeting.
Commissioner Mark Christoffels said that he didn't think it was the proper thing to grant at this point.
"I am not ready to give up on all the hard work that both the residents and city have done for this community," he said.
Most of the residents were opposed because of the yearly variable 125 percent interest rate that the company plans to charge. In California, there is no interest rate cap for loans of more than $2,500.
Yet Pennbrooke is willing to occupy a property that has been vacant for more than a decade and is in dire need of an upgrade.
Pennbrooke has filed applications to open two offices in Long Beach and four more in the surrounding area, including one at the heavily traveled Pacific Avenue gateway to the Wrigley area. The other proposed Long Beach location is at 2706 E. South St. in North Long Beach.
But residents made it clear Thursday that this isn't what they want.
"It's not what we're looking for to upgrade our neighborhood," said Lisa Wibroe of the Wrigley Association.
Barbara Sinclair agreed, adding that it is a business that "preys on the most desperate people in the community."
"This business would, if approved, have done really well because there are plenty of people who are desperate in these economic times," she said. "But this business will bring nothing to our community, nothing at all."
Despite the reception, David Carlat, representing the company, said Pennbrooke is a well-established, national lending institution with more than 500 locations throughout the United States and it would bring "loans to those who cannot receive financial assistance anywhere else."
"Many small businesses are in need of short-term cash flow and they have no place else to go," he said. "We would be able to provide them with a check the same day to help them through their difficult time."
Auto loan companies, however, have come under criticism for their high rates and the general lack of oversight of the industry.
When the commission asked Carlat what the company's annual percentage rate is, Carlat replied: "It's a deceptive question that requires a deceptive answer."
Carlat said that the rate is one-third of 1 percent per day, which was later contradicted when he said the average interest per day is $16 on a $2,500 loan.
The company said it targets clients who are small- business owners and independent contractors seeking short-term bridge loans.
However, Jack Smith of the Central Project Area Council said that a fresh paint job, some new plants out front and remodeling of the inside is all just a cover of what will take place at Pennbrooke.
"This business adds nothing to the public or the Wrigley neighborhood that has worked so hard and done so much to grow," he said. "A title loan company spreads financial blight, and that is not what this community needs."
The commission agreed, but still must discuss the issue at an Aug. 16 meeting, when city staff will provide the legal grounds to deny Pennbrooke's conditional use permit.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray OKs skipping school for Seahawks' parade
If you're a young kid in Seattle you probably love the city's mayor, Ed Murray.
He thinks you should be allowed to skip school without punishment in order to attend the Seahawks' Super Bowl parade on Wednesday.
Murray's statement seemed to help sway Seattle Public Schools superintendent Jose Banda to change his stance on the issue. Banda initially said that academics should come first and that any student who skipped school for the parade would be dinged for an unexcused absence.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
In December 2005, Joshua Butler was the first student to graduate with a Master of Divinity in Theological Studies from Multnomah Biblical Seminary. He received the Willard M. Aldrich Biblical Studies Award at Baccalaureate Chapel on May 19, 2006.
This award is presented to the graduating master's student who has demonstrated the highest level of academic scholarship in the areas of biblical studies, theological research and exegesis.
"Josh was a very creative and analytically gifted student," said Dr. Paul Metzger, the associate professor of Christian theology and theology of culture at Multnomah Biblical Seminary. "His M.Div. in theological studies thesis was a first-rate work on the doctrine of divine impassibility." Dr. Metzger also said that Butler "has a real passion for Jesus, a heart for the church, and a desire to see the faith lived out holistically in the world at large." Butler is also a musician who serves as the director of worship and arts in Imago Dei Community Church.
According to Dr. Donald Brake, Multnomah Biblical Seminary's dean, the Master of Divinity in Theological Studies is strictly an academic program that prepares students for advanced studies leading to entrance into a Master of Theology or a Doctor of Philosophy program. This program aims to provide students with the abilities to work with original languages, develop research skills and to become competent in biblical, theological and historical studies. The program emphasizes on personal mentoring for ministry in teaching at various academic levels.
A standard and advanced track is available for this program. Students with a significant amount of undergraduate work in biblical and theological studies may enroll in the advanced track. This allows the student to enter directly into courses normally found in the second year of studies. However, students still have to go through the full three years because of the academic nature of the program.
For more information concerning the Master of Divinity in Theological Studies program contact Dr. Donald Brake at firstname.lastname@example.com or 503.251.6731

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Bleu Star, Jan 1, 2013.
Stephen A. Nailed it!!! Every single word!
The fact that you're now taking advice from Stephen A. Smith, a well known Cowboys hater and mediot, speaks volumes about you.
The difference between us is the simple fact that I can take constructive criticism with an open mind. Once again, Stephen A. nailed it.
The only reason Screamin A is in the ballpark here is becuz he hates the Boys.
He makes more sense here than anything else Ive ever heard him say.
Yeah.. I'll be glad to head from Mr. Supreme Cowboys Fan a_minimalist after he actually watches the video.
Steven A. Smith is a complete IDIOT...
Agree.. But, again, he nailed this one.
WOW....Awesome POST....and YES...Stephen A. Nailed it....
Lets hope Jerry Jones stands up and takes control to fix this CRAP...I would love to hear Jerry Jones come out and say Jason Garrett job is on the line...
[DISCLAIMER] - Pleaase actually watch the video before responding. Blind responses are obvious. Thanks.
I, personally, don't think anyone on this coaching staff is in a position to dictate any terms. (including JG)
If an idiot like him can see it, well, . . . . . . . . . . . . . its pretty obvious.
Actually Skippy Clueless wasnt too far off either.
I really think Screamin A nailed it on Red wanting to do it his way - not necessarily the best way. But we all knew that anyway.
I watched about 2 minutes of him speaking and then turned it off. He's a moron who doesn't even follow the Cowboys but has this huge opinion about them. All I needed to hear was that Garrett's ego is too big to let an OC come here. I can only take so much stupidity. If he were HC for 5 years and things were the way they are now, I'd say there's some legitimacy.
Same fans who complain about Jerry meddling ........ are the idiots who now want him to meddle.
Yeah, how dare he want a fair shot to make the necessary changes. What an ego on him!
:laugh2: :laugh2:
So is blind hatred.
You did better then me, I couldn't even make it to 2mins.
I really can't stand the guy but he was dead on about this. You are correct, every single word was the truth.
Skip made some good points too. I usualy despise this show but it was a video that I clicked over into after watching a Gamecock video on YT and I just sat there saying yep yep yep.. hmmm.. yep.
If Garrett actually does think in this fashion, I can't imagine many people would see that as a positive. I think he is a solid up & coming coach with an opportunity to do good things. However, thinking along those lines and undermining possibilities really wreaks of an undertone that concerns me. It will be very interesting to see how this Norv thing plays out because you already know Jerry is zeroing in.
How many years has he been calling plays now? :bang2:
How many games have we lost due to his mismanagement just since he has been HC? :bang2:
Have you no ability to see whats right in front of you, or do you not watch the games? :bang2:

Richard The Turd
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"A brilliant man, truly brilliant."
"We owe so much to him."
Richard the Turd (1788 - 1827) was the Earl of the tramps between 1805 and 1827. He is probably the most notable tramp king as he is the only one who actually did anything that benefited other people. His unique name was given to him because of his pungent odour, not uncommon for tramps of his stature, although his was by all accounts the most impressive of the era.
edit Achievements
No-one is entirely sure how Richard the Turd came to power, although everyone agrees that his greatest achievements were made a mere two months after his coronation.
When Richard the Turd learned of the sad tale of a young boy named Jimbo, who had fallen from a great height and lost his legs, he made voluntary euthanasia legal among the tramp community. At that time, if you were volunteered for euthanasia by a family member, you were taken to a special clinic, or butcher's shop. There, you would be laid on a special table and the procedure would begin. The procedure involved smashing the patient over the head with a chair, then cutting them up into reasonably sized pieces and recycling them back into the community. The family would then be rewarded for their effort.
His second achievement was to introduce a caste system into the tramp world. This was so incredibly complicated that no-one could understand it, and so everyone spent so much time discussing it that they forgot their few differences and became the best of friends. This made a repeat incident of the 1762 tramp war impossible.
edit Death of a Hero
Unfortunately, not even Richard the Turd could live forever. After his death, people flocked to see his body, and then a ceremonial funeral took place, where Richard's body was taken to the nearest river and dumped, fully clothed (a great mark of respect among tramps), into its waters. He was then found by another tramp, Bill Gates, who used Turd's royalness to create Shit-o-Soft.

So,let's hope the new junior formula,Formula 4,is the success it seems set to be,because we badly need a lift.

Correction: CFP Shakespeare in Slavic/Eastern European Countries
The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 24.0316 Monday, 8 July 2013
Date: July 4, 2013 11:30:19 AM EDT
Subject: Correction: CFP Shakespeare in Slavic/Eastern European Countries
Dear Shakespearian colleagues,
We would like to make a slight modification to the previously published CFP regarding Shakespeare 450 anniversary in Paris. Our previous title "Shakespeare in Slavic Countries" seems inadvertently to leave out countries such as Hungary, even though we do speak of "Eastern and Central Europe" in the text of CFP. Thus we think it is best if we change the title to "Shakespeare in Slavic/ Eastern European countries", and likewise add "Eastern European" to all other references to the subject of the panel.
Unfortunately there is also a typo in the text, as you might have noticed. After Sandor Petofi's quote which is from Zdeněk Stříbrný's book, Shakespeare in Eastern Europe, the year mentioned should of course be 1847 not 1947.
We hope that these changes will soon appear on the conference website.
In the meantime we thank you for your understanding and attention.
Best regards
David Fanning and Michelle Assay
This is the corrected CFP.
Panel: Shakespeare and Slavic/ East and Central European Countries
'The Slavs' great capacity for hero worship, particularly for the man of intellect, has given Shakespeare as high a place in their estimation as we would give a military hero returning from a victory' (Cyril Bryner, 1941).
'Shakespeare. Change his name into a mountain, and it will surpass the Himalayas…Before his appearance the world was incomplete' (Sándor Petőfi, 1847).
This panel will study Shakespeare's adoption and adaptation within the countries of Eastern and Central Europe, including those comprising the former USSR. Angles such as the historic, cultural, political, theatrical, and translation studies will be considered.
Shakespeare's journey in Central and Eastern Europe goes as far back as tours of English comedians during his lifetime and soon after his death to the court of Zygmunt III of Poland. The 18th century saw the first attempts at appropriating and adapting his work in the Russian language, with Sumarokov's first quasi-translation of Hamlet. The age of National movements in European cultural and political life continued well into the 19th century, as did admiration for Shakespeare. In Russia of the Romantic era, Shakespeare and Byron were two major sources of inspiration for poets, artists and composers. Tchaikovsky dreamt of composing an opera based on Hamlet, but he found the Danish Prince's irony untranslatable into music. However, he did not shrink from composing incidental music and symphonic pieces based on Shakespeare's plays. Apart from productions, translations, and adaptations, studies and analysis of Shakespeare's plays began to appear. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the arrival of Socialist doctrines brought more overtly political shades into Shakespeare productions, along with experimental interpretations especially during the avant-garde 20s and early 30s. Wartime Shakespeare took various shapes and colours to fit the purposes and morale of the various nations - for example, certain more introspective plays such as Hamlet were absent from most Soviet stages. The Thaw saw two great cinema adaptations of Shakespeare by Grigori Kozintsev, as well as many key Shakespeare studies, such as Jan Kott's, Shakespeare our contemporary (1964).
Discussion topics for the panel include but are not limited to:
- History of Shakespeare translations into Slavic/ Central and Eastern European languages
- Shakespeare stage productions in the (former) Eastern Bloc
- Shakespeare and the Soviet Union
- Shakespeare and Russian/Soviet music
- Shakespeare and cinema in the (former) Eastern Bloc
- Shakespeare studies in Slavic/ Central and Eastern European countries

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:26pm
The bright lights of Las Vegas will have another reason to shine, as the Adrenaline Sin City Showdown is coming to town Dec 11 and 12. The second stop on the Adrenaline Tournament Series will be another exciting one and promises a great weekend of lacrosse in a town known for a good time.
Some of the top programs in the West will be on hand to battle it out on the near perfect Star Nursery Fields alongside Sam Boyd Stadium, home of UNLV's football program. Some of the teams in the field include the Sun Devil Sizzler winners LaxDawgs Brown, Utah Starz, Nor Cal's Golden State Titans, Silverfin from Los Angeles, Arizona Burn and Vegas Starz to name a few. The LaxDawgs Brown team will certainly come in with a bull's-eye on their back as they defeated the favored Brady's Bunch squad in the finals for the Sizzler.
"It is going to be great to watch these highly skilled teams play against each other on great fields, with an exciting environment and the mystique Las Vegas brings along as a location," says Adrenaline President Alex Cade.
The Sin City Showdown is providing a great opportunity for many of these teams to get in a tune up before the Adrenaline Challenge in January, in San Diego, more than 40 elite club teams will be in attendance. "When most of the top programs and talented players in the West sign up for these events you know you are doing something right. I am thrilled to have added an event where these top teams can square off and really push the skill level of their players with stiff competition. This type of competition is what drives the western player to higher levels of lacrosse quickly." Alex Cade Adrenaline Lacrosse President.
NCAA D1 runners-up University of Notre Dame will be on hand to hold their highly regarded Irish Coaching Clinic Series. The two-part seminars and clinics allow high school level coaches to absorb high level collegiate strategies and drills in addition to helping younger or newer coaches enhance their knowledge. The ATS serves as the exclusive venue for the Irish Coaching Clinics in the West. Rory Doucette, who has coached every level from the youth level up to the NCAA level, explains, "Most people realize that the development of the game has strategically evolved over the recent years and the pioneers of this movement are found in the NCAA coaching ranks. This opportunity to learn the new aspects of the game from NCAA minds such as Kevin Corrigan and Gerry Byrne will provide a great strategic advantage to those coaches who attend. I plan on being front and center as I'm sure most other coaches do as well."
The overall feeling for the weekend will be thoroughly enhanced by corporate heavy hitter sponsors Warrior, Brine, South Swell Sports, Powerade, SKLZ, Adrenaline Movement & New Balance to help provide a tournament venue and experience that will be second to none. The Star Nursery Fields will provide terrific fields ready for play, and with the Adrenaline touches and the sponsors present it will surely be the top playing venue in the West. "There is nothing better than playing on a high quality surface that is laid out to be a first class event field. We get excited, players get excited and it adds a different level to the competition" Rory Doucette.
Also on hand will be an activities focused and extensive vendor village which will host a blend of food, retailers and other industry vendors for participants and spectators. Media partners Inside Lacrosse and West Side Lax will also be providing coverage of the event online so that spectators not able to make the trip can check scores.

About Friuli-Venezia GiuliaView a map of Friuli-Venezia Giulia wineries (free-oo-lee veh-netz-ee-ah gwee-yee-ah)
Notable FactsSuccessful grapes of the Friuli include Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. Then of course, there's the famed local variety, Tocai Friulano (not any relation to Tokay d'Alsace or Tokay of Hungary), which produces wine that is floral and nutty in character but light-bodied. Ribolla Gialla, another white grape making wine with the floral notes and acidity common to the region - it is a delicious alternative to the international varieties of the area. Reds are not to be forgotten, although found less often. Merlot is the most planted, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and few indigenous varieties. Most exports are white.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

The newly-named 'People Country's Sexiest Man' was performing a cover of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us." As he stood at the edge of the stage, he took one fatal step right off the stage, and fell in between the stage and crowd barricade.
After he got some help getting back up, he finished up the song - what a trooper!
Luke seems to be OK. He shared:
I'm good. Few stitches.

Author Joyce's Book Reviews
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
This is the semi-autobiographical story of Joyce's life as a student in Dublin. Protagonist, Stephen Daedelus is in the throes of deciding whether to become a priest or an artist. It is the experimental writing style of this book that outshines the story, which sometimes paints Daedelus as quite a boring young man. The story, which is more like poetry than prose, is written in a series of flashbacks which can be difficult to follow. And of course Joyc...
These are 15 short stories about various Dublin residents. Joyce used the epiphany through out his work. He established various relationships between characters in the book. Family relationships and friends are very important....
Finnegans Wake
The event is the self-exposure of the hero to two young women. He is observed and suffers from the consequences in terms of disgrace and imprisonment from which he escapes. The book is a dream and recapitulates the history of the world....
Joyce's masterpiece describes the events of a single day -- June 16, 1904 (the day Joyce met his future wife, so you might call it the longest Hallmark card in history) -- in the life of two primary characters, Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus (with a significant offstage role played by Bloom's wife Molly, who only takes center stage in the final chapter), in Dublin.

On Wednesday, NBC announced that Pharrell will take the stage on April 5th. He will likely perform hits from his second solo venture, G I R L, which arrived earlier this month. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart after selling 112,000 copies in its first week.

As Pharrell provides the musical entertainment, actress Anna Kendrick will serve as the night's host. This will be her first time hosting the show.

George Jones honored with monument at CMA Fest event
Listen to George Jones on iHeartRadio
The country music community took time to remember the late George Jones during this year's CMA Music Festival. Randy Travis, John Rich, Jamey Johnson and others joined the Country Music Hall of Famer's widow, Nancy, at a special event during the four-day fan gathering, which just wrapped up in Nashville on Sunday. Nancy and the country stars shared their memories of country music's legendary Possum at "Remembering George Jones." Travis also debuted the new song "Tonight I'm Playin' Possum," which will be available via iTunes on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, fans who ventured out to visit Jones' final resting place got to see the design of the monument that's in the works for George. A plaque was posted at Nashville's Woodlawn Cemetery featuring a drawing of the monument, along with the message that the structure is expected to be installed in the coming weeks.
The 81-year-old Jones died at a Nashville hospital on April 26th, two months into his year-long final tour.

The election may be over but the political jostling at the Statehouse is heating up, with Independent Paul Poirier of Barre challenging House Speaker Shap Smith, a Democrat from Morristown. The Vermont court system will need to ask the legislature for more money to update the court's computer system. A top aide to Governor Peter Shumlin says lackluster state revenues show Vermont is experiencing "a slowly recovering economy." Employees at the Brattleboro Food Co-op are voting today on whether to form a union.

Eugen-Papst-Str. 9a
82487 Oberammergau
Phone +49 (0)8822 922740
Time is the key to the Ammergau Alps. Those who holiday here gain a new sense of it. Whether that's taking time out for yourself or for exercise, pleasure or peace and quiet. Time for living. Time to recharge those batteries.
In the Ammergau Alps you find yourself in the largest single conservation area in Bavaria. It is a scene of such great natural beauty – Alpine meadows and forests, mountains and picturesque valleys – that King Ludwig II of Bavaria was inspired to set his world-famous residences here. These include the fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle, styled on a medieval knight's castle, and Linderhof Palace with its stunning rococo park.
These days, your hosts in the Ammergau Alps approach time in a very different way. On Zeitberg ('time mountain'), for example, you can follow a four-kilometre circular trail taking in six islands of tranquillity. Mobile telephones are stowed away in the handy phone lockers at the summit for some quality time offline.
Time to discover yourself
Lebensfeuer® is a special analysis method that forms the basis of a comprehensive, individual health consultation, a made-to-measure holiday programme and activities recommended just for you. For benefits that will last long after your holiday.
Time for rejuvenation
The mountain pine mud of the spa resorts Bad Bayersoien and Bad Kohlgrub has long been renowned for its soothing and curative properties – this 'black down' is nature's medicine. Bathing in it relaxes your muscles and joints and gives you a feeling of near weightlessness.
Get away from it all ... on foot
That is the philosophy of the pilgrims. The Ammergau Alps Meditation Trail takes you from the Wieskirche Pilgrimage Church in Steingaden, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to Linderhof Palace in the Graswang valley near Ettal.
Oberammergau stages its acclaimed Passion Play every ten years, but in the Ammergau Alps you can experience vibrant Bavarian customs at any time. Houses are adorned with traditional murals, farm hotels keep historic breeds that you're unlikely to see anywhere else, and in bedrooms made of Swiss pine, you'll sleep more soundly than elsewhere too.
Mobility for all – no stress and no hunting for a space
Many establishments also offer guests the KönigsCard, with which you can travel for free on all regional bus routes. An additional guide is available to help disabled visitors get their bearings in the region.
